Because of Aunt Gu's illness, the Xiaocao family spent a lot of money. Zheng Qiulian didn't dare to ask Aunt Gu for the pension money given to her by Gu Tiezhu, but she was stared at the little money that Xiaocao went up the mountain to dig herbs and sell them, but unfortunately Xiaocao was hidden tightly, and Zheng Qiulian never found it.

The little money Xiaocao earns from digging herbs is kept for college in the future. Xiaocao knew that her mother had been trying to get her out of school, but Xiaocao didn't want to. She is about to enter her third year of high school, Xiaocao's academic performance is very good, first in the grade, and the teacher said that as long as Xiaocao is willing to continue studying, the university in Kyoto City will definitely be admitted.

Xiaocao always remembered the encouragement of her little sister Zhou Yuanyuan, she wanted to go to school in Kyoto City, and she wanted to see the outside world.

Because of the jade pendant that Zhou Jiasheng left to Xiaocao, Xiaocao's family was very "lively" for a while.

Zheng Qiulian saw that Xiaocao refused to hand over the jade pendant, and shouted for Xiaocao to drop out of school. said that the family was in difficulty, even if Xiaocao was admitted to university, the family could not afford it.

Xiaocao knew that Zheng Qiulian asked her to drop out of school because she planned to use her to change her second brother for a daughter-in-law. Since the eldest sister Xiaohua died of a serious illness when she was fifteen years old, Zheng Qiulian has always disliked Xiaocao, saying that Xiaohua's death was "gried" by Xiaocao.

Xiaocao explained to Zheng Qiulian several times that this jade pendant was not hers, but someone else asked her to keep it, and Zheng Qiulian never believed it.

Zheng Qiulian scolded and scolded at home all day long, saying that Xiaocao didn't care about her family. There are valuables that she doesn't want to marry a daughter-in-law for her brother, so she just keeps it herself. also said that sooner or later he would sell Xiaocao's jade pendant.

After Aunt Gu fell ill, her health has not been very good, and she has no energy to take care of Zheng Qiulian, and Xiaocao is not willing to bother Aunt Gu with these things.

After struggling for a few days, Zhao Xiaocao decided to come to Kyoto and return the jade pendant to Zhou Jiasheng, and by the way, make it clear to Zhou Jiasheng, no matter what Zhou Jiasheng thought, Xiaocao felt that it was impossible for her and Zhou Jiasheng to have a future.

Xiaocao is a down-to-earth girl, in Zhaojiagou, Zhou Jiasheng's family is a legendary figure, Xiaocao has never had a dream of "sparrow becoming a phoenix", what she Zhao Xiaocao wants, she will rely on her own hands to fight.

Zhao Xiaocao's trip to Kyoto City did not go smoothly at all.

Zhao Xiaocao came to Kyoto City this time without Zheng Qiulian. Zhao Xiaocao would rather be misunderstood by Zheng Qiulian than dare to let Zheng Qiulian know that the jade pendant was a "token of love" given to her by Zhou Jiasheng. If Zheng Qiulian knew that Zhao Xiaocao and Zhou Jiasheng were involved, she would definitely find Zhou's family and ask for a generous dowry.

Zhao Xiaocao said hello to Aunt Gu, packed a few changes of clothes, took her full net worth, and set off. Of course, Zhao Xiaocao's full net worth is only a few dozen yuan in total, and there is not much left after excluding the round-trip ticket money.

On the train, Zhao Xiaocao was stolen with a small package for a change of clothes. Fortunately, Zhao Xiaocao still had a small satchel with him. The small bag contains all of Xiaocao's net worth, as well as a few large cakes pasted at home.

Along the way, Xiaocao didn't dare to take the money out. When a few flatbreads were finished, the train arrived in Kyoto City.

After arriving in Kyoto City, Zhao Xiaocao took the address left by Zhao Qingshan for Gu Damiang and found Zhangshu Hutong in Gongqiao District.

The door of Zhao Qingshan's house was locked, and Zhao Xiaocao asked the neighbors to know that Zhao Qingshan's family had moved away a few months ago, and as for where they moved, the neighbors said they didn't know.

Zhao Xiaocao still has a talent for finding the way, she is not familiar with the place in Kyoto City, so she found the military compound according to the address left by Zhou Yuanyuan.

Zhou Yuanyuan was in retreat at the time. Zhou Xi didn't dare to disturb, so he had to tell Zhao Xiaocao that Zhou Yuanyuan was not at home.

Facing the serious Zhou Xi, Zhao Xiaocao didn't dare to follow Zhou Xi into the door, turned his head and left.

Zhao Xiaocao wandered around the street for a while, but he didn't come up with a way, seeing that night was about to fall, he had to call Zhou Jiasheng.

After Zhou Jiasheng received Zhao Xiaocao's call, he was overjoyed.

Putting down the half-studied project in his hand, Zhou Jiasheng found the hungry Zhao Xiaocao as quickly as possible.

After Zhou Jiasheng took Xiaocao to have a meal, he took Xiaocao to the small third room behind Renhe Hospital and settled down.

Zhao Xiaocao first thanked Zhou Jiasheng for his hospitality, and then mentioned the jade pendant. Zhao Xiaocao insisted on returning the jade pendant to Zhou Jiasheng, and asked Zhou Jiasheng if there was a way to get the red rope open.

Zhou Jiasheng saw that Xiaocao was busy trying to clear up relations with him, so he had to talk nonsense seriously.

Zhou Jiasheng said that his jade pendant was a talisman given to him by a "high monk", and the spirit was on this red rope. The rope can only be untied by finding joints and cannot be cut, otherwise the amulet will lose its effectiveness.

Zhao Xiaocao was stunned by Zhou Jiasheng's bluff, and quickly let go of the scissors in his hand.

After Zhou Jiasheng saw that Xiaocao was bluffed by him, under the pretext that he still had something to do today, he asked Zhao Xiaocao to go to Chenfeng Road tomorrow afternoon to eat roast duck, and then the two of them would think about a way to find the joint of the red rope together.

In order to show his sincerity, Zhou Jiasheng specially drew a road map for Xiaocao to go to Chenfeng Road, said that he would meet the next day, and left.

Hearing this, Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but laugh, and secretly gave his brother a thumbs up in his heart.

No wonder last time Zhou Jiasheng went home, he begged Zhou Yuanyuan to cast a spell on his red rope. The red rope on Zhao Xiaocao's neck was not without a joint, but the knotted place was hidden by Zhou Yuanyuan's spell. Zhao Xiaocao is just a mortal, how can he see through Zhou Yuanyuan's "blinding method"?

Also, Zhou Jiasheng met his beloved girl, and he knew that he would coax Xiaocao to live first, and then use the excuse of "returning the pendant" to ask Xiaocao to have dinner the next day. It's a pity that Zhou Jiasheng was targeted for some reason. Zhou Jiasheng threw off his bodyguards, and before he reached Chenfeng Road, he was kidnapped.

Thinking of his brother's various efforts for Xiaocao, Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but persuade: "Sister Xiaocao, you just follow my brother! My brother is really good, young and promising, and he has a deep love for you." ”

"Yuanyuan, your brother is very good, but I really don't have this mind, at present, I just want to study hard, leave Zhaojiagou, and it's best to stay away from my mother. Zhao Xiaocao sighed and said. Love and love are really a distant thing for Zhao Xiaocao now. If she wants to control her own destiny, she must first make herself strong.

"Sister Xiaocao, yes, as long as you want, this day will come soon. Zhou Yuanyuan looked at Zhao Xiaocao with appreciation, she seemed to understand a little why Zhou Jiasheng liked Xiaocao, a girl.

Xiaocao's temperament is somewhat similar to Zhou Jiasheng, both of them are for their own goals, perseverance, and moving forward.
