Chapter 487: Chapter 487

Fang Peizhong and Liu Hongmei left.

Fang Xiaohui felt weak all over, looking at the child on the bed.

She was fearing the coming days.

Brother Yong actually told Fang Peizhong about these things.

What is this Brother Yong trying to do?

Even asked me for five thousand yuan!

Why don’t those people just drop dead?

Now, they’re openly scamming me.

But she actually had no way to deal with it.

What could she do, her weakness was still in their hands.

Now, besides obediently listening, what else could she do?

But she had no way to get five thousand yuan.

Even if the Song family had money, Mrs. Song wouldn’t possibly give it to her.

Don’t even hope for it, he’s just a wastrel.

Song Mohuan keeps asking his mom for money every day, how could he possibly have money for her?

Her savings account only had a thousand yuan.

Moreover, she had some bride money with her.

Plus the Song family’s betrothal gifts.

Still far from five thousand.

And there’s a vampire, Fang Peizhong.

Fang Xiaohui felt like she was going insane.

Fang Xiaohui was burning with anxiety, Brother Yong held her photos.

If she didn’t pay, she’d be ruined.

For the first time, Fang Xiaohui felt truly cornered, as if she were being driven mad.

Fang Xiaohui calmed down, no!

She had grand prospects, couldn’t let it end ; her past life had ended miserably, this life she couldn’t go down the same path.

Fang Xiaohui recalled the jewelry box in Mrs. Song’s room.

Back when Mrs. Song still liked her, Mrs. Song had taken it out to show off to her.

These were old jewels, quite a bit of jade and agate, supposedly left by Mrs. Song’s ancestors.

Mrs. Song’s ancestors were just impoverished schoolteachers.

How could this gold and silver jewelry have been left by Mrs. Song’s ancestors?

Of course, she could understand that people from that era would have some family assets; no one could hand over everything cleanly.

Some items were probably things Mrs. Song had managed to sneak into her pockets during her years at the hospital, just sounded good when she talked to her daughter-in-law about them; she had seen those things.

Those were excellent items.

In Mrs. Song’s words, taking out any piece would be worth a fortune.

She didn’t know exactly how much, but she had seen the box, and it was packed full.

That jewelry box had layer upon layer upon layer, Mrs. Song only let her see one layer.

Who knows how many things were in there; under this situation, she could only borrow one, two pieces to sell and cover Brother Yong’s mouth first.

Her matter certainly couldn’t be known to others.

No, two pieces definitely wouldn’t be enough, wasn’t there also a Fang Peizhong?

Her brother had now become this way.

Even threw away the former high-mindedness.

Still a scholar; this scholar had become , truly disgracing the Fang family.

Ye Hua’s beloved son turned out .

Fang Xiaohui couldn’t help but feel relieved.

Fang Peizhong’s condition didn’t matter, but she was distressed that Fang Peizhong was harming her now.

She could only take out a few more pieces to exchange for money, plug these gaps first.

Fang Xiaohui made up her mind, she definitely couldn’t go herself this time, anyway, Fang Peizhong knew about the matter.

Let Fang Peizhong take the money to Brother Yong on her behalf.

She didn’t want to fall into Brother Yong’s hands again, lest something happen, because then she’d be asking for it herself.

Last time’s experience was still vivid in her memory.

Thinking about this, Fang Xiaohui listened closely to any movement in Mrs. Song’s room.

Mrs. Song was supposed to have the afternoon shift today, after eating she’d leave.

Mr. Song hadn’t returned at that time yet.

Only she would be home, the housekeeper was in her room, so she could do whatever she wanted.

Sure enough, Mrs. Song left right after eating.

Fang Xiaohui waited for an hour until it was completely quiet outside, then snuck out; the housekeeper indeed stayed inside and did not come out.

She slipped into Mrs. Song’s room.

Half an hour later, she slipped out of Mrs. Song’s room and made a phone call to Fang Peizhong.

An hour later, Fang Peizhong appeared at the Song family home.

Fang Xiaohui took her child and went out with Fang Peizhong for a while, she didn’t trust handing the stuff directly to Fang Peizhong.

This person wasn’t the former lofty Fang Peizhong who treated money like dirt.

This person could make threats, if she handed the items to him, who knows if he would sell the items and take the money, then disappear.

Then she’d have nowhere to cry.

The two of them searched for a while on Liuli Street, and found a place specializing in purchasing such antique jewelry.

And surprisingly, the jewelry Fang Xiaohui took out was indeed quite valuable; once she took out the jewelry, the shop owner widened his eyes.

But when he opened his mouth, the jewelry was only priced at 1,000 yuan a piece.

Fang Xiaohui knew that he saw her young age and holding a child, likely figured out they urgently needed money, so the price was pressed very low, probably less than a tenth of the jewelry’s value.

After bargaining back and forth for a while, in the end, there was no choice, the manager-looking person offered at most 2,500 yuan per piece.

Fang Xiaohui exchanged four pieces of jewelry for a full ten thousand yuan.

Fang Peizhong grinned triumphantly and reached for the money, only when the money was in his pocket did it count as his own.

It seemed his younger sister was a lucky star, coming to find her had brought immediate wealth, now he could say he was a wealthy man, he had never had more than ten yuan in his pocket back home.

Now he suddenly had five thousand yuan.

However, Fang Xiaohui didn’t give it to him, letting him take the other five thousand yuan to Brother Yong.

Fang Peizhong wasn’t willing, was Brother Yong any good? He could tell he was helping Fang Xiaohui do murder-for-hire things, they were desperados, sending him in.

What if he ended up in a bad spot and couldn’t get out?

But watching Fang Xiaohui glare angrily, he knew if he didn’t deliver the money today, Fang Xiaohui wouldn’t give him the five thousand yuan.

He realized the Song family definitely had assets, the jewelry Fang Xiaohui took out definitely wasn’t hers.

There might be more, for long-term consideration, he ought to help his younger sister as a brother.

Fang Xiaohui dropped Fang Peizhong off at Brother Yong’s alley, she herself hid in a small shop nearby.

Watching Fang Peizhong knock and enter, after a while, Fang Peizhong came out.

Seeing Fang Peizhong’s bulging pocket, she knew the money had been handed over, she prayed that Brother Yong would keep his promise.

These siblings then went their separate ways.

Fang Peizhong left happily with the money, not even glancing at Fang Xiaohui.

Fang Xiaohui took her child home, feeling extremely uneasy, fearing her mother-in-law might discover.

Though she had taken the jewels from the bottom layer.

A layer that her mother-in-law normally didn’t touch.

Her mother-in-law’s jewelry box was a treasure trove, each layer packed full, she counted five layers.

Each layer’s box was completely filled.

Probably even her mother-in-law couldn’t remember how many pieces of jewelry were inside, taking a few pieces shouldn’t be noticeable.

But, that was only should.

She felt she was rather unlucky lately, hoping even if discovered, she could deny taking them, how could her mother-in-law prove it was her?

She believed her mother-in-law wouldn’t want to make a big deal of it, her mother-in-law’s reputation would suffer, and if others knew, they’d wonder where their family got these things.
