Hold on, the system and I have never been angry

Chapter 26 Buying Out Family Ties

Zhou family.

"Mom! Let me out! Dad! I don't want to get married! I want to continue studying! Open the door!"

Zhou Xuan was locked in her room. She kept knocking on the door, begging her father and mother to let her out. She also tried to ask her brother Zhou Chen for help, but no one paid any attention to her.

In the living room outside, Zhou's father was holding Hong Tianfu's hand and smiling: "From now on, my daughter will be handed over to you, in-laws."

Hong Tianfu also had a smile on his face: "No problem, our good boy will definitely treat your family well."

Hong Tianfu bought a wife through a human trafficker when he was in his forties. He beat the woman when she was disobedient, even when she was pregnant. He beat his wife so many times that she became stupid. One time, he beat her so hard that his son was born prematurely, his wife died of dystocia, and the child was born with dementia. Now his son is almost thirty and still can't find a wife, so he wants to buy a wife for his son to carry on the family line. He happened to learn from a few yellow-haired hooligans that the Zhou family was in debt and urgently needed money, so he set his sights on Zhou's scheme.

It just so happened that the old lady of the Zhou family also had the same idea, so the two families colluded and decided to sell Zhou Xuan to Hong Tianfu's stupid son as a wife for 100,000 yuan. As soon as they said it, Zhou's father and mother agreed.

The debt collectors came to their door day after day, and they could not resist, so they set their sights on their daughter again. There are many daughters in rural areas who are sold at the age of twelve. The Zhou family also came from the mountains, and they have a mentality of favoring boys over girls. After they had a son, they kept their daughter just to get some money for the bride price one day. In ancient times, a girl could have married at the age of fourteen, so it was reasonable for them to let her decide on her life in advance.

Neither family is wealthy, so they certainly can't afford a wedding. They are not old enough to get a marriage certificate, so they plan to have a meal together tomorrow to complete the ceremony.

Zhou Xuan was still crying in the room. Old Mrs. Zhou got annoyed, opened the door, quickly grabbed Zhou Xuan who was trying to escape, and slapped him twice. She was still not satisfied after the beating, so she grabbed Zhou Xuan's hair and threw him to the ground: "Little bitch, don't you know that your family is in debt?! The most useful thing you can do is to earn some money! Don't be ungrateful! Do you know that the whole village knows that you did something dirty in school, and you have embarrassed me! While there is still someone who wants you, marry me quickly! Otherwise, why should I raise you for more than ten years in vain!"

Zhou Xuan felt a tearing pain on her scalp. She grabbed Old Lady Zhou's hand and tried to escape: "I didn't! I'm not like what you said... I'm only fourteen! I don't want to get married!"

Old Mrs. Zhou said disdainfully, "What's wrong with being fourteen? I was already pregnant with your father at your age! I've already taken the money, you have to marry me even if you don't want to! Otherwise, go and pay it back yourself! If you hadn't messed around in school, how could our family have gotten involved with those hooligans? Now they've broken your father's legs, and we have no money. If we don't reduce our income, our whole family will have to starve! Marrying you off earlier can earn some money to improve our food. If you have a conscience, you should repay us for raising you for fourteen years and marry an honest man!"

"Dad! Mom! Please, help me! I really don't want to get married!" Zhou Xuan looked at her parents for help, but only saw indifference in their eyes. Mother Zhou looked away and walked into the kitchen without even giving her a glance.

Zhou Xuan was in disbelief and no sound came out of his throat.

Hong Tianfu stepped forward to persuade him: "Don't hurt your face! If you hurt it, I will pay you less!"

Only then did Mrs. Zhou stop.

"Boom--" the wooden door collapsed with a loud bang, and debris flew several meters away.

Lu Jinzhao retracted his foot that was about to kick the door, and with an attitude of being able to kill anyone who stood in his way, he stepped on the wreckage of the door with his long legs and walked into the Zhou family.

"You...you rebellious son! How can we live in our house after you kicked the door down?" Zhou's father was so angry that he was shaking and started scolding Lu Jinzhao while pointing at his nose.

Zhou Chen heard the noise and poked his head out of his room. Seeing that it was Lu Jinchao, he quickly closed the door. He had not forgotten that he had asked the big brothers to beat up Lu Jinchao, but was beaten up by the big brothers instead... The big brothers didn't hit him in the face or use any force, so he didn't break any bones, but it still hurt him for a month before he recovered.

"What's going on?" Zhou's mother hurried out of the kitchen and was shocked when she saw the scene in front of her: "What is this?!"

Looking around, Lu Jinzhao said coldly: "I want to take Zhou Xuan away."

Old Mrs. Zhou put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Impossible! Zhou Xuan is getting married tomorrow! How can I let you take her away!"

Lu Jinzhao threw down the bank card of the original owner and said, "Five hundred thousand to buy out Zhou Xuan's freedom. From now on, your Zhou family has nothing to do with us."

As he said that, he threw the 100,000 yuan in cash wrapped in a towel on the coffee table back into Hong Tianfu's arms, "Why don't you get out?"

Hong Tianfu took a look at the deep footprints on the wooden door. He was just a skinny old man, and he knew that he would probably not be able to withstand a punch from the young man, so he ran away in fear.

Zhou's father was attracted by the money, but he didn't believe that there was half a million in the card. If his adopted son really had so much money, he would have received a text message from the bank informing him of the account transfer.

Lu Jinzhao guessed what he was thinking and took out his mobile phone to transfer the money. A few seconds later, Zhou Hongda's phone rang with a text message alert.

After counting the zeros several times, Zhou Hongda trembled and fell into a dream of becoming rich overnight, "It's actually 500,000!"

Zhou's mother quickly came over to take a look, and she was overjoyed: "We've made a fortune!"

Lu Jinzhao looked at the two of them coldly, and threw the agreement to sever parent-child relations in front of them, "Sign it."

When Zhou's father heard that he could exchange his daughter for 500,000 yuan, he no longer had the look of wanting to eat her flesh and blood alive, and signed the contract happily.

After taking the contract, Lu Jinzhao pushed Mrs. Zhou away and wrapped Zhou Xuan up with his coat: "Can you still leave?"

Zhou Xuan nodded.

Mrs. Zhou suddenly came to her senses and stopped the two men: "Where did you get so much money?"

"It's none of your business, get out of here."

Zhou Hongda covered the bank card and quickly put it in his arms, "No matter whether you stole it or robbed it, I will never return the money to you! Don't come to us for it if you get into trouble!"

"Heh." Lu Jinzhao didn't even bother to look at this weirdo, and took Zhou Xuan's hand: "Sister, let's go."

"Okay." Zhou Xuan opened his eyes wide, engraved the faces of the Zhou family members firmly in his heart, held Lu Jinzhao's hand tightly, turned around and left.

The two of them were silent all the way, holding Zhou Xuan's hand as they returned to the e-sports hotel. The six-month lease had not yet expired, so Lu Jinzhao closed the door and squatted in front of Zhou Xuan: "Will you blame me if I leave you without parents?"

After a long while, Zhou Xuan escaped from his sadness, looked at his brother and shook his head seriously, "How could I blame my brother? If it wasn't for my brother saving me, I would never be able to study again... I haven't seen the outside world yet... I don't want to get married..."

"Well, no matter what you want to do, brother will support you."

"elder brother."

"Ok?"

"Actually, I was outside the office when Hu Yuxuan's incident happened last time."

"...Did you hear everything?" Lu Jinchao could sense that there was someone outside the door at that time, but he didn't know who it was through the wall. He thought it was a student watching the show, but he didn't expect it to be the person involved, Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan choked up and said, "Yes... It was then that I realized that my parents didn't love me... This time, I completely gave up..."

Lu Jinzhao touched her head: "It's okay, you still have a brother."

Zhou Xuan hugged Lu Jinzhao's waist and didn't speak for a long time.

After a long while, she remembered something, and tears fell like beads from a broken string: "Brother, where did you get so much money? Don't do anything stupid for me..."

Lu Jinzhao smiled helplessly, opened the live broadcast room, and told her everything, "Don't worry, I have money, it's not a problem to support you for a lifetime."

Zhou Xuan's eyes sparkled: "Brother is so awesome! I want to be as awesome as him in the future! And then I want to support him!"

"Really? Then I'll wait for you to support me."

"Okay!"

After coaxing him to sleep, Lu Jinchao came to the alley behind the school and put an envelope into Huangmao's hand: "You did a great job this time."

Huangmao C opened the envelope and saw a stack of red banknotes inside. He was so scared that he hurriedly stuffed it back into Lu Jinzhao's hand and said, "It's our duty to do things for Big Brother. We can't take this money!"

Lu Jinzhao laughed: "Take it. You are not young anymore. You should think carefully about your future. Tell me when you have made up your mind. I will definitely help you if I can."

Yellow-haired C was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears: "Thank you, Boss!"

After Lu Jinzhao walked away, the three of them divided the money. Huangmao B counted the money and asked, "I still don't understand why the boss asked us to find an old man to buy her sister?"

Yellow-haired C slapped him on the head and said, "Stupid! How can we legitimately buy out the relationship between my sister and the Zhou family if we don't do this? Look at what a miserable life my sister has been living in the Zhou family for so long. Only by doing this can my sister stop thinking about the Zhou family from now on. Do you understand?"

Yellow Hair A: "I heard that the Zhou family sold our sister once during the Chinese New Year. Sure enough, that family of bastards is still determined to do it again!"

Yellow Hair B: "But I see that the boss looks very tired. Did he come from far away? Should I call Hong Tianfu and the others over now?"

Yellow Hair C: "That can't be helped... The grandson is in a hurry to buy a wife for his son and take him back to his hometown. He has already bought the train tickets and will leave tomorrow. If we don't succeed today, we will have to change another target tomorrow. I'm afraid it will take forever. And it was the boss who asked me to do it, which means the boss is free."

……

When the college entrance examination results were released, the happiest person was the principal of No. 23 Middle School, because his school had produced the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination! !

On the day when the graduation certificates were issued, the principal came to Lu Jinzhao's class with a group of reporters in high spirits, holding a huge foam sign with a check for one million in his hand.

The Education Bureau allocated 800,000 yuan, and he added 200,000 yuan on behalf of the school, making a total of one million yuan in bonus money.

The bonus was immediately transferred to Lu Jinzhao’s account.

"Student Lu, I heard that you applied to Imperial Capital University. When you go there, remember to come back often!" The principal took a photo with Lu Jinzhao with a smile.

"Okay, definitely."

Xie Juan's eyes filled with tears. "Jin Zhao, congratulations, your hard times are over."

"Teacher Xie, thank you for your cultivation. Without you, I would not be who I am today." Lu Jinzhao gave Xie Juan a hug.

Several media outlets rushed to pass the microphone to Lu Jinzhao and asked some commonplace questions such as exam secrets and study methods.

Adoptive father Zhou Hongda was also invited by the school to attend, and the school also prepared a speech for him.

Surrounded by the media, Zhou Hongda shed a few crocodile tears, packaged himself as a loving father, and said that if Lu Jinchao got the one million, their family’s debt could be paid off.

The media felt that they had something to expose, so they went to the Zhou family for an exclusive interview. In front of the camera, Zhou's father and mother kept telling how hard it was for them to raise their son, and that their son would never let them down. He put Lu Jinchao on a high pedestal in front of others, and if he did not do what they wanted, it would be considered unfilial, and would be captured by the media and magnified infinitely, becoming a stain that everyone would criticize.

The method was crude, but effective. Lu Jinchao gave them the one million in public. He didn't need the money at the moment. But the Zhou family had to pay back whatever money they took from him.

Acting in school for a day is more tiring than playing games for a day. After getting rid of these people, Lu Jinzhao was about to breathe a sigh of relief and leave the school when he ran into Fang Yin. She was wearing a white dress, just like the one Zhou Ye remembered.

Fang Yin was admitted to a very good 985 university in the capital, and her future is promising. She tucked her hair behind her ears and said, "Congratulations, Lu Jinzhao."

"Congratulations on getting into your ideal university. See you in the capital."

"See you in the Imperial Capital."

Fang Yin walked a distance away and suddenly turned back: "Lu Jinzhao."

"Ok?"

"He's not coming back, is he?"

Lu Jinchao was stunned, and subconsciously thought that Fang Yin was referring to the original owner. Unfortunately, he couldn't be sure whether Fang Yin was referring to the change in his personality, or whether she really saw through him as another soul. He pursed his lips, and finally said nothing.

Fang Yin lowered her eyes and smiled helplessly: "Is that so."

Watching the girl walking away, Lu Jinchao seemed to be lost in thought. He thought, if Zhou Ye were still alive, they might become an enviable couple.

Qiansui grabbed the end of Lu Jinchao's hair with his claws and said, "Brother Chao, you said you wouldn't fall in love easily!"

Lu Jinzhao's scalp was hurt by it, so he pulled it off helplessly and soothed it with his hair: "I was just lamenting that Zhou Ye and Fang Yin were lovers who could not end up together, what are you thinking about."

Chitose: "I don't want to hear it! All scumbags say the same thing!"

Lu Jinzhao: "......"

*

The high school entrance exam results had not come out yet, and Lu Jinzhao was having trouble deciding where to place Zhou Xuan. He felt deeply sympathetic towards this ill-fated little girl.

But he had to go back to record the next episode and couldn't take her with him.

Just as he was thinking, a phone call came in. Lu Jinzhao picked up the phone: "Hello?"

"It's me." It was Ji Lianzhu.

"I know it's you, what's the matter?"

"I'm going to study abroad."

Lu Jinchao didn't know Ji Lianzhu's college entrance examination results because this guy didn't even come to get the admission letter. He prepared graduation gifts for the whole class, but only this guy's was not given away.

Lu Jinzhao was a little confused: "...Congratulations?"

Ji Lianzhu chuckled helplessly: "Isn't it inconvenient for you to take care of Zhou Xuan? Let her go with me. I can contact a few good high schools."

Lu Jinchao pulled up Ji Lianzhu's dashboard and took a look, then said calmly, "The school that the second heir of the Ji Lian family can contact should be more than just a good one, right?"

"You knew already?"

"The last name Ji Lian is rare. If I hadn't met your eldest brother by chance, I wouldn't have thought about it that way. You two look quite similar. Besides, you didn't hide it from me on purpose."

"What do you think?"

"I need to ask my sister's opinion."

Although it is unclear what the purpose of the two brothers of the Ji Lian family approaching him is, at present, Ji Lianzhu is a good person certified by the system, and the possibility of him assassinating Zhou Xuan is almost zero. The two brothers of the Ji Lian family may lie, but the system will not lie to him. If Zhou Xuan can have the resources of the Ji Lian family, it will be much better than following him. But Zhou Xuan's willingness is more important.

Zhou Xuan was doing his homework. When he heard this, he looked over with a puzzled look on his face, looking very cute.

"Then open the door."
