Chapter 222 The Stick-Girl's Trouble Returns



Although the dog didn't die from the fall, it wouldn't recover for at least a year and a half. After the doctor performed surgery on the dog, it was transferred to the ICU.

The pheasant's physical characteristics were so obvious that the police quickly learned about it. A pheasant in this condition definitely needs care. The police officers at the local station couldn't stay at the hospital indefinitely, so they could only contact its only relative.

Upon learning of her grandson's condition, Jia Zhangshi was immediately distraught. She herself needed care, how could she possibly care for Banggeng?

Bang Geng was still in the hospital, and even though her own condition was bad, Jia Zhangshi had no choice but to come to the hospital to see him. With the help of the police, Jia Zhangshi arrived at the hospital and moved into the bed next to Bang Geng's. The two of them received treatment together at the hospital.

Ever since learning about Bang Geng's health condition, Jia Zhangshi hadn't considered taking the time to recover. It wasn't that Jia Zhangshi didn't want to go to the hospital before, but Bang Geng simply didn't want to spend the money. Now, Bang Geng can only move his fingers, and everything in the Jia family is decided by Jia Zhangshi.

How could Jia Zhangshi miss such an opportunity? After more than half a month of treatment, Jia Zhangshi's condition improved a lot.

Now, Jia Zhangshi is able to move around independently in her wheelchair. Although she can't take care of Banggeng, she can only feed him and do other things. The hidden dangers of the Jia family have also been fully exposed. If Banggeng had no health problems, the Jia family might have been able to continue to hold on, but Banggeng has been bedridden for more than half a month, and the bank has already started pressing for repayment.

Faced with this situation, Banggeng could only repay the bank loan first. Fortunately, the Tang family returned the betrothal gifts, and Banggeng, with over 10,000 yuan in hand, didn't need to worry about the bank loan for the time being. Banggeng now only hopes that his situation will improve soon.

Otherwise, after a while, I'll be worrying about loan repayments. If I don't have any income, my money will run out quickly. Then I'll lose my house.

Bang Geng, who is in his thirties, is also worried about the future. In the past month or so, Bang Geng has also learned about his situation.

His hands and feet were severely injured. He might be in even worse shape than his grandmother. Others might not understand his grandmother's personality, but Bang Geng knew it perfectly well.

If he were truly crippled, his grandmother would definitely not take care of him and might even run off with all the money. Although things didn't develop as Bang Geng had imagined, Jia Zhangshi's actions were indeed quite outrageous.

Not long after, they helped Banggeng complete the discharge procedures and then had an ambulance take them home. Banggeng's condition was almost the same whether he was in the hospital or at home.

Instead of wasting money in the hospital, it's better to bring Bang Geng home and let him recover slowly at home.

After Jia Zhangshi and Banggeng returned, Jia Zhangshi began to worry about the future. To make a living, she had no choice but to beg; given her current situation, she was no longer able to sell vegetables.

It's clear that Jia Zhangshi has forgotten her family's reputation. Even though so many years have passed, many people still remember what happened to Jia Zhangshi and her family.

The young people may have forgotten, but the old folks still remember it vividly. This meant that Jia Zhangshi didn't gain much; she couldn't even guarantee three meals a day.

In order to earn more money and make ends meet, Jia Zhangshi had no choice but to constantly play the victim. But no one pitied her, and eventually Jia Zhangshi simply stopped coming out altogether.

Since she couldn't get any money out of the house, she might as well stay home and lie down. Given her current physical condition, Jia Zhangshi didn't know how much longer she could live.

Since I don't know how long I'll live, why work so hard? I have eight or nine thousand yuan left at home, plus the house I live in is worth tens of thousands of yuan. That's enough for me to live comfortably for three to five years.

In three to five years, I'll probably be long gone. Since I won't live that long anyway, why bother with all that?

Having come to her senses, Jia Zhangshi refused to go out, no matter what, and endured the cold. She stayed home, eating and drinking as usual, living a much better life than before.

Banggeng thought his grandma was just being kind and wanted to give him something nice to eat. But Banggeng soon realized something was wrong: all the good food had ended up in his grandma's stomach.

Seeing his grandmother gradually gain weight, even the slow-witted Banggeng understood Jia Zhangshi's thoughts.

The thought of his grandmother spending all his money like this pained Banggeng deeply. His resentment towards his grandmother grew stronger.

It's not that I haven't thought about resisting, but I can't even get out of bed right now, so I have no way to resist. Even if I wanted to resist, I could only wait until I felt better.

Besides secretly cursing in bed, Bang Geng could do nothing. He even had to maliciously flatter Jia Zhangshi, because if he displeased her, he might end up starving in bed.

Now, Madam Jia is no longer afraid of her grandson. Since he won't recover for at least a year or two, even if he wants to hold a grudge, it will have to wait until then.

I'm already in this state, who knows how long I can hold on? If my grandson treats me well, I'll make him some food. If he doesn't, I'll just take care of myself; after all, I have the money in my own hands.

Having figured things out, Jia Zhangshi completely let loose. If that were all, there wouldn't be much to say, but unfortunately, Jia Zhangshi encountered a truly ingenious scam.

While Jia Zhangshi was out buying groceries, she suddenly noticed that someone in front of her had dropped their bag. Someone else might have pointed it out, but Jia Zhangshi certainly wouldn't. After the person had walked a distance, another person, a little faster than Jia Zhangshi, picked up the bag.

The man picked up the bag and prepared to leave, but how could Jia Zhangshi let him have his way? The end result was that the two started arguing. Seeing that more and more people were gathering, the middle-aged woman reluctantly whispered a few words in Jia Zhangshi's ear, and then the two stopped arguing.

"Everyone, please leave now. My mother-in-law and I had a disagreement, which is why we started arguing."

Hearing the middle-aged woman's words, the others stopped paying attention, especially since even Jia Zhangshi hadn't said anything. Once everyone had walked away, the middle-aged woman led Jia Zhangshi to a corner. After looking around, she opened the bag. Then, she quickly closed it again.

"Let's find a place and quickly divide it up. If the owner comes looking for it, we won't get any benefit from it."

“There are not only gold ingots and gold bracelets inside, but also some other silver items. The value is at least 20,000 yuan. This matter cannot wait, and it is impossible to sell it. I will take a loss. Just give me 10,000 yuan.”

Hearing the middle-aged woman's words, Jia Zhangshi ignored her and instead took the bag. Then, she carefully opened the bag, took out the contents, and even bit it with her teeth to verify its authenticity.

After confirming that it was gold, Jia Zhangshi hesitated. All this gold was worth at least [amount missing]. Not to mention the pair of silver earrings.

However, the Jia family didn't have that much money. After much discussion, Jia Zhangshi spent 8,000 yuan to buy the gold bracelet and gold ingots. The silver earrings went to the middle-aged woman.

After the two women reached an agreement, the middle-aged woman followed Jia Zhangshi to the Jia family home. Jia Zhangshi, completely unaware of the situation, handed over 8,000 yuan to the middle-aged woman, who then turned and left with the money.

Watching the middle-aged woman leave her house, Jia Zhangshi chuckled and locked the door from the inside. Then she carefully examined the gold ingot and the gold bracelet, showing off her skills to Bang Geng as she looked at them.

"Grandma is so capable, isn't she? I made the least amount of money just by going out to buy groceries. After Grandma sold the gold bracelet and gold ingots, we paid off the money you owed. The bank is such a bloodsucker, charging such high interest on such a small amount of money. That interest alone is almost enough for the two of us to live on."

Surprisingly, Banggeng didn't object to Jia Zhangshi's words. Having previously been somewhat worried about the future, Banggeng no longer worried now that his family was wealthy again. He lay peacefully in bed.
