Chapter 278: Running out of money
Night, lonely.
The ancient Sijiu City is sleeping peacefully in the symphony played by the night owls and summer insects.
The white moonlight fell down, covering a certain courtyard house in the city that was commotion in the dark.
It was already eleven o'clock at night, and Chu Heng, who had already slept for two nights, was waiting with his eyes wide open as he waited for someone from the second room of his house to accompany him. One moment he ran to the window in the dark to take a look, and the next moment he took a look under the moonlight. Looking at the time, my heart is scratching my head.
His current mood was as if a distinguished Cadillac owner was waiting for the sweet sound of high heels, full of anticipation.
After all, the window period has been long.
As for Qin Jingru, the situation is not much different from his, or even worse.
The girl was lying on her side on the kang at the moment, with her back turned to Lou Xiaoe like a shrimp ball, her big black eyes staring unblinkingly into the darkness, anxiously hoping that she would get out of here. , so that I can go and see Brother Hengzi whom I miss so much.
But today's Lou Xiao'e is like a scorpion-skinned swallow, she is so evil!
Normally, this woman would go to see Silly Zhu very early. Today, it was past eleven o'clock but there was still no movement at all. Qin Jingru was so anxious that she even wanted to kick her out!
The little girl waited and waited, and hoped, and was very worried that her brother Hengzi would get impatient and lock the door, shutting her out.
Just when she was about to burst into tears, the woman behind her finally moved.
Lou Xiao'e quietly got out of the bed, glanced at Qin Jingru who was motionless next to her, glared angrily, and then took the clothes and put them on one by one.
She was really puzzled!
Qin Jingru usually fell asleep around eight o'clock, but today she turned over and sighed. She didn't stop until eleven o'clock, which made her late for her date.
I don’t know if that guy Si Zhu is waiting in a hurry.
When she thought of that stupid guy, Lou Xiaoe couldn't help but feel warm again. She hurriedly put on her clothes and hurried out of the old lady's house.
As soon as she left, Qin Jingru sat up from her bed like a corpse. First, she pricked her ears to listen to the noise. After confirming that Lou Xiao'e had gone far, she hurriedly put on her clothes and nervously Then he quietly opened the door excitedly, and like a kitten, followed the shadow in the corner and slipped out of the backyard quietly.
After a while, she arrived in front of the Chu family.
The girl carefully pulled the door open, and the door shaft, which had been oiled by Da Da Heng in advance, turned silently, revealing the dark space behind the door.
At this time, Chu Heng was sitting at the Eight Immortals table smoking a cigarette. When he heard the door open, his heart suddenly felt hot.
He quickly turned his head to look at the door, and not long after, a graceful shadow appeared in his sight.
"Brother, I'm here!" Qin Jingru stepped into the back room full of excitement, her voice trembling.
“I thought you weren’t coming.” Chu Heng slowly stood up and opened his arms, with a rippling smile at the corner of his mouth: “Come, let me hug you.”
"Well!"
Qin Jingru trotted forward and plunged into his arms. Her round little face pressed tightly against the man's chest. She closed her eyes happily and said, "Brother, I feel like It’s like a dream.”
Even now, she still feels that all of this is unreal.
This scene was something she had never dreamed of before.
“Silly girl.”
Chu Heng lowered his head and kissed her greedily.
After a long time, their lips parted, and the two hugged each other and came to sit down on the bed.
Chu Heng gently patted the back of Qin Jingru who was hugging him tightly and refused to let go, exhaling hot breath and said: "Come on, Jingru, let's eat some ice cream to cool down in the hot weather."
...Two hours later.
Qin Jingru lay on Chu Heng's chest with a tired face, and murmured: "Brother, I never dreamed that I could be your woman in this life."
"Are you happy?" Chu Heng Smoking a cigarette with a holy look on his face, he was confessing himself in his heart.
"I'm so beautiful." The girl smiled foolishly and slowly closed her eyes.
After a while, she suddenly struggled to raise her head again, looked at him worriedly, and said softly: "Brother, I'm so scared now. I'm afraid that one day you won't want me anymore. That would be worse than killing me." "It's uncomfortable."
After the confession, Chu Heng lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and said while holding a plate of fruit: "As long as you obey, I will support you for the rest of your life."
"Then I must be obedient. Brother, you can't do without me." Qin Jingru hugged the man tightly.
“Okay!”
The two of them hugged each other till about two o’clock. Chu Heng raised his wrist and looked at the time, then patted the girl’s round face in his arms. Huatian said: "It's getting late, you should go back, Jingru."
< br>Qin Jingru, who was indulging in the warm embrace, was suddenly filled with reluctance. She bit her lips hard and begged softly: "Brother, please let me stay for a while, I can't let you go."
"The days are long. , Don’t be obedient at this moment,” Chu Heng said in a funny tone.
...
Half an hour later, a refreshed Chu Heng sent Qin Jingru away, who had difficulty with his legs and feet. Then he hurriedly put on his clothes, got on his bicycle and left the courtyard, heading towards Yan Muze's home.
Today is the trading day that he and the old man agreed on. The original plan was to do it at two o'clock, but he couldn't control it and was delayed for a while.
But it doesn’t matter, it’s a seller’s market now, and the old man won’t say anything more no matter how long he waits.
He was very confident about this.
The journey was very fast, and not long after, Chu Heng arrived near Yan Muze's house. Then just like last time, he put away his bicycle, took out the cart containing grain and boxes, and slowly walked into the alley where the old man's house was.
When he approached the door of Yan Muze's house, the old man, who was about to fall asleep waiting, quickly took his son to greet him, and asked with concern: "Master Chu, why are you so late today? No. What's going on?"
"There's something delayed." Chu Heng jumped out of the car with a smile, handed the cart to the old man's son, then took out the tools from the box and went in with the old man. inside the house.
The transaction volume this time is much larger than last time, with many more antiques and gold bars.
After several transactions, Chu Heng’s mentality is now very calm, far less excited than before.
He picked up a lot of antiques on the kang like buying cabbage. After setting a price of a few yuan and a few cents, he turned around and went to weigh the gold with a weighing rod.
Half an hour later, Chu Heng dropped more than 10,000 yuan and left the Yan family with a lot of things.
On the way, Director Chu, who had once again gained a lot, could not be happy, but felt a little depressed.
There is no other reason than money.
There is not much cash left in his hand. According to the current transaction volume, he will be almost wiped out after one or two more transactions at most.
If there is no more income, he will have to rely on food to earn three melons and two dates.
That’s really too slow.
"I hope the Lou family can give me some surprises." Chu Heng murmured and looked to the southeast, shook his head to throw those troubles out of his mind, and continued on his way.
