The sun at dusk looks like a red apple, or like a little girl's face that has been roasted.
Zhou Ze sat in the bookstore, sorting out the latest batch of bills. The operation of the bookstore had already become financially tight. The key problem was that the property he inherited from Xu Le was too little.
If it hadn't taken back the share from the pirated booksellers that time, it is very likely that the store would have been unable to operate.
After returning from the hospital that night, Zhou Ze burned all the remaining paper money. He also squatted at the door and smoked half a pack of cigarettes and waited for a long time. Indeed, no one came to throw money.
According to the female corpse, this wave is called using good deeds to ward off disasters.
The ghost money given by ghosts is equivalent to good deeds. When you need money, you can use it to "exchange" money. When you need shelter, you can use it to offset troubles.
The last time this happened, it was reported in the news: a wealthy man hired someone to kill his wife.
There is a rumor that the suspect said that a high school girl appeared and beat them up. Of course, no one would believe this.
It's not Sailor Moon.
In short, the matter has come to an end, and Zhou Ze’s ghost money was not burned in vain.
Xu Qinglang came over from next door, holding two cups of tea in his hands. His lifestyle was getting higher and higher.
Originally a diligent and promising young man,
After owning more than 20 houses,
Finally, he began to indulge in enjoyment and embarked on a rhythm of decadence.
The two of them sat at the counter and drank tea together.
"What happened to your wife in the end?" Xu Qinglang asked.
"She said she wanted to be quiet for a while and think for a while." Zhou Ze replied.
The confession process was smooth.
It could even be said that it went too smoothly.
Dr. Lin's love for herself even has a tendency to develop into a "pathological" state, but fortunately, she is still a rational person.
Xu Le died, and Zhou Ze resurrected from his corpse. All kinds of incredible things happened in front of her. You asked her to accept them all at once and continue to live a shameless and happy life with her "dream lover" and part-time "current husband".
It's a bit difficult.
"That's not bad. She's stronger than I thought." Xu Qinglang smiled. "Ordinary people would probably be scared to death."
Zhou Ze did not comment.
Xu Qinglang shouldn't have known about this. It was obvious that someone had leaked the information.
You don't need to look for the leaker to know who it is.
That Ms. Bai Yingying.
"By the way, let me ask you something." Zhou Ze asked seriously, "Was Xu Le in such a difficult situation when he opened the store?"
"No, I think he lived a pretty cool life, but I didn't interact with him much before he died. He was a very dull guy, very boring.
But he must have had a lot of money. I remember that he often helped his relatives in the bookstore and was very generous. "
After Xu Qinglang finished speaking, he glanced at Zhou Ze again and even licked his lips with his tongue.
"You're still interesting."
For a moment, her waist swayed and her eyes were charming, which really made people's heart flutter.
"It's a shame that you don't become a gigolo. You could have been the king of gigolos."
"Can we still have a good chat?" Xu Qinglang asked angrily.
“It’s a compliment.”
"Heh..." Xu Qinglang pointed at Zhou Ze, "You should just take care of yourself."
"Why do you care about me?" Zhou Ze pointed at the bookstore. "Business has been slow recently. Not only can I hardly see any living people, but even ghosts."
"How are you and your doctor wife going to develop? I think she just needs some time to adjust, and then she will accept it.
After all, to be honest, you are lucky to have a woman like her. God knows that in this era, there are still such ladies from ancient times. Her parents must be weird too. "
"Yeah." Zhou Ze nodded. His father-in-law and mother-in-law were indeed weird.
My father-in-law used to be the director of a hospital and he also ran a medical company. Logically, he should be an absolutely successful person, but in some aspects, he seems very feudal and stubborn.
"A woman like this, as long as you tame her, she will be willing to take care of your husband and children." Xu Qinglang showed a yearning look, "I want this kind of woman too."
"You already are." Zhou Ze added.
"Let's talk about your problem. You are going to live with her in the future, right?"
"I think so." Zhou Ze said.
"Then we will definitely sleep together, right?" Xu Qinglang stretched out his hand, shook it, and continued, "The 'sleep' I mentioned is a verb that includes many complex movements and special positions. Do you understand?"
Zhou Ze nodded, he still didn't know what Xu Qinglang meant.
"Well, then, here comes your question. You are using Xu Le's body now. If you two really sleep together, does it mean that Xu Le cheated on you?"
Xu Qinglang narrowed his eyes, and at this moment, he smiled mischievously.
Then,
Zhou Ze fell into deep thought.
"Even your DNA is not originally yours, but Xu Le's. In other words, you gave birth to a child after going through the extremely complex and rich verb process of 'sleep'.
In fact, it is not your child, but Xu Le and Lin Wanqiu's child.
Right
Then,
Zhou Ze fell into deep thought again.
Xu Qinglang became more and more excited as he spoke. Seeing Zhou Ze continue to remain silent, he felt an indescribable joy in his heart!
When Madam Bai asked her men to bring a sedan chair with eight bearers to pick her up,
It was Zhou Ze who secretly pointed his finger at himself.
He has made a note of this grudge in his little notebook!
Zhou Ze took a sip of water and remained calm.
"Do you feel worried and confused?" Xu Qinglang asked.
"I'm the one who feels happy." Zhou Ze replied.
Xu Qinglang frowned and continued, "But this body belongs to Xu Le. When you slept with her, it was Xu Le's body."
“I am the one who is happy.”
"But the child's DNA..."
“I am the one who is happy.”
Xu Qinglang slammed the cabinet with both hands and scolded:
"Oh my god, you can't be so carefree!"
"Anyway, I'm the only one who's happy. Xu Le has already gone to hell and I don't know where he is. He might have drunk Meng Po soup and been reincarnated. Why should I care about this
I feel good about it."
Xu Qinglang was so angry that his chest heaved. He didn't know why he was angry.
But I’m just so angry!
"Okay, let's stop talking about this. If we continue, it will become a debate between the spirit and the body. It's almost reaching the level of philosophy." Zhou Ze gestured to end this somewhat boring discussion.
"As long as you are happy." Xu Qinglang was full of resentment.
"By the way, there is something I need to ask you." Zhou Ze thought of another thing.
"explain."
"Do you know any other ghost messengers?" Zhou Ze asked.
"I used to live with the ghosts of my parents, so how dare I get to know the ghost messenger?" Xu Qinglang asked back.
"Okay, I got it."
It seems that I still need to take some time to visit the Confucian Temple. The last time I saw the dwarf old man beating the gong, he should also have an organization.
"What exactly do you want to ask?" Xu Qinglang asked.
"I want to ask the ghost messenger if there are any performance reports or promotions, salary increases or benefits."
"Should... have some." Xu Qinglang pondered for a while and said, "Look at Madam Bai, she was able to accumulate merits and return to hell from a female ghost who stayed in the human world to seek an official position. You should have some too.
Didn't that little Loli tell you? "
Zhou Ze shook his head.
"I also think that your ghost messenger is a little too easy. I guess she may have other serious matters to deal with, so I'm leaving this job to you for now."
"You mean, I'm really a temporary worker?"
"Haha, when they have finished dealing with their business, you will probably have to vacate your nest. If they are in a good mood, they will turn a blind eye to you. If they are in a bad mood, they may directly take you back to hell."
"What on earth is she going to deal with?" Zhou Ze said to himself.
Then, Zhou Ze's mind flashed with the image of the young man drinking porridge in the live broadcast of the Taoist priest.
Chengdu,
Underworld shop
Think about the little girl's reaction when she heard me mention Rongcheng.
like,
It's really possible.
But no matter what, I cannot easily return to my temporary worker status. It is not comfortable to be an illegal resident.
Xu Qinglang went back to his shop and said "Happy Lantern Festival" to Zhou Ze before leaving.
Zhou Ze was also packing up his things, and at the same time asked Bai Yingying to go out and buy him a few cigarettes and some dumplings. He had to change his plans and go to the Confucian Temple tonight to chat with the dwarf old man.
Just at this moment, the door of the bookstore was pushed open and a man in a white down jacket walked in.
"Brother Ale! I'm here to pick up my dad from the hospital."
Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment, and began to think. He roughly guessed the man's identity. He should be his uncle's child, younger than himself, and should be Xu Le's cousin.
The last time Xu Dachuan came to the city to see him, he had a car accident and suffered minor fractures when he was leaving. Zhou Ze went to see him once later. Doctor Lin paid for all the medical expenses, so he didn't care too much about it.
"Hello." Zhou Ze responded somewhat coldly.
"Brother Ale, I'm short of money lately. Look at my dad's fall. He has to rest for at least two months after returning home, and he can't go out to work to earn money."
The cousin smiled at Zhou Ze.
"I've given nutrition money to uncle." Zhou Ze gave some to Xu Dachuan, but Xu Dachuan refused to take it, so Zhou Ze secretly stuffed it into his clothes.
"Hey, Brother Ale, I've started dating a new girlfriend recently, and money is a bit tight. Brother, can you help me out?" The cousin asked directly.
"Business here isn't good either." Zhou Ze had no intention of giving it.
"Brother, this is not nice of you." The cousin was unhappy and said, "I asked someone to help you with the last incident."
"What's the matter?"
"Brother, that's not fair. You're not going to acknowledge me after you've done the job? I'm telling you, I'm not shamelessly asking you for money. Look, I've never come to your house to ask for money in the past six months.
Regarding the last incident, the driver promised not to let anything slip. Besides, he has been in prison for more than half a year, and he will be released in another half a year. He must be stupid to let it slip, right? He must be keeping his mouth shut, otherwise the crime would have gone from illegal driving to intentional homicide.
"Brother, I'm really short of money this time, brother, can you just give me a few thousand yuan? I'll pay you back when I have money, okay?"
Zhou Ze picked up the teacup on the counter. Hearing this, he suddenly frowned slightly and said:
"What on earth is going on? I don't understand."
"Brother, are you planning to cross the river and destroy the bridge
Half a year ago, you asked me to help you contact a truck driver and pay him to deliberately hit and kill the doctor.
You must not forget my contribution..."
"Click..."
The glass in Zhou Ze's hand,
It was crushed directly.
