Chapter 124 Stealing money and running away
"There's no need to look for an auspicious day. Every day is a good day. Let's hold the wedding banquet in three days." Xu Dongxiu was afraid of more trouble at night, so she wanted to hurry up and earn 10,000 yuan for the betrothal gift.
We will definitely receive a lot of gifts from holding a wedding banquet. All the investments we made previously have to be recovered this time, which must be several thousand yuan. Add on the money given by the Diao family, it’s worth it.
Xu Dongxiu looked at her daughter crying on the ground without any pity. What a waste! If she had really been with Diao Dekai, she could have earned more money, but she ended up becoming notorious and losing her virginity.
The most valuable thing about a woman is her virginity. Without it, it can't be sold for a good price. Xu Dongxiu originally had some sympathy for her daughter, but now that she is completely gone, she might as well sell her early to make money while this useless girl is still young and pretty.
The bricklayer was naturally happy to do so. He glanced at Jiang Siyuan and asked with a shameless face, "Why don't we go get the marriage certificate today? I'll give you the betrothal gift today, and I'll also pay for the wedding banquet."
"Okay, son-in-law, you are sincere enough, we will definitely be fine."
Uncle Jiang readily agreed and said that as long as the money was in place, there would be no problem.
Xu Dongxiu hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
The bricklayer's face was full of joy. He took out a stack of money from his trouser pocket, which he had just withdrawn from the bank. There was a note tied to the money. He was about to hand it to Xu Dongxiu, but it was snatched away by Uncle Jiang.
Uncle Jiang counted the money and found it was exactly ten thousand yuan. He was so happy that his face was beaming with joy. The ten thousand yuan from the Diao family, plus the ten thousand yuan for the betrothal gift, would allow him to live comfortably for several years.
"I didn't bring my household registration booklet today, so I'll go get the certificate tomorrow. I'll take him home first to get him familiar with the environment." The bricklayer said in a very high-sounding manner.
Xu Dongxiu gave him a knowing look but didn't object. After all, the guy who was paying the money was already dirty, so it didn't matter whether he was innocent or not.
"No...I won't go...Help!"
Jiang Siyuan struggled desperately. She didn't want to go to this man's house. She wanted to escape! But the mason was very strong. He easily lifted her up and knocked her unconscious. He smiled at Xu Dongxiu and his wife and said, "I'll take her back now."
"Go ahead, have a good time, and remember to come back for the wedding in three days. Don't forget the money for the banquet." Xu Dongxiu instructed.
“I can’t forget it!”
The man grinned, put the unconscious Jiang Siyuan on the back seat of the motorcycle, tied her up with a belt, and rode away in a hurry.
The sound of Xu Dongxiu and Jiang Xiaoshu arguing was heard in the yard.
"Give me the money. We agreed to split it in half. Don't even think about keeping it all for yourself!"
"Whoever wants to keep it all will get five thousand each, count it carefully."
Then came the sound of counting money. The couple was immersed in the joy of counting money. They had no guilt at all for selling their daughter, nor did they notice Jiang Tianbao's greedy eyes in the corner of the yard.
Jiang Tianbao is now dark and thin, like a different person. He cannot even guarantee three meals a day, and he has no pocket money. When he is very hungry, he can only steal. He now hates this family and wants to leave here and go out to make a living.
Jiang Hanyan glanced at the yard next door and saw a couple still counting the money from selling their daughter.
"Siyuan is so unlucky to have such parents." Jiang's mother said with pity.
Jiang Hanyan had a sneer in her eyes. Jiang's father and mother were not much better. They were not good people.
Jiang Siyuan’s life or death has nothing to do with her. Every evildoer will be punished by his own evil. She will definitely not die, but she will not have an easy life either.
Four or five days later, Jiang Hanyan returned to her parents' home and brought a bottle of pills, which were also steamed with flour and honey, and added with some licorice and spiritual spring water. Jiang's father's condition improved a lot and he could walk, but he still had no strength.
"The disease comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like a thread being pulled out. It won't heal so quickly. Take one of these pills a day when you wake up in the morning. After taking these pills, you will be almost cured."
Jiang Hanyan took out a medicine bottle, which contained brown pills. She opened the bottle cap and a fragrant medicinal smell came out. Jiang's father took a sip and immediately felt refreshed and had strength again.
"This medicine is good. I feel strong after smelling it."
Father Jiang was overjoyed and believed in the precious medicinal materials Jiang Hanyan mentioned. If they were not good medicinal materials, how could they have such a powerful effect? This money was worth spending!
"I searched for the good medicines from everywhere, fifty-year-old wild ginseng, hundred-year-old Gastrodia elata and Ganoderma lucidum, all of which are extremely rare and good medicines. If I wasn't so popular, I wouldn't have gotten them for at least a hundred thousand yuan. Forty thousand yuan is only the cost price."
Jiang Hanyan lied without changing his expression, but this medicine was indeed valuable. It was added with spiritual spring water which was more precious than wild ginseng. Although it was not much, it was enough for Jiang's father to use.
"You have such a great reputation now?" Jiang's father's tone became much more respectful, and it sounded like this rebellious girl was quite capable.
Jiang Hanyan rolled her eyes, her nose turned up, and said arrogantly, "Go ask around and find out what my current status is in Fucheng!"
Father Jiang's heart was beating fast. It seemed that the rebellious girl had a high status in the underworld. No wonder she could get so many good medicines.
He was quite proud of himself in his heart. His daughter was capable and had status, and he, as a father, also benefited from it. Well, even if he didn't want to have a son in the future, it would be nice to have a capable daughter.
"Hanyan, your father is in poor health. When your mother and I get old, you can't ignore us." Father Jiang played the sympathy card and spoke to his daughter more gently than ever before.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Jiang's mother also looked over hopefully. If her daughter was willing to support her in her old age, she would not have to worry.
"I have to take care of it, but don't cause any trouble for me, otherwise don't blame me for being heartless." Jiang Hanyan said this in advance.
She had originally planned to take care of these two people in their old age, to repay her original body for giving birth to them. As long as Father and Mother Jiang were law-abiding and honest, she would definitely be responsible until her death.
"I won't cause trouble, I definitely won't." Jiang's father looked happy. The rebellious daughter, no, the good daughter is quite filial and has such a promising future. Let's see who dares to laugh at him in the future.
Jiang's father took out the 40,000 yuan on his own initiative. Although he felt sad, he also understood that health is the most important thing. Money can be earned again if lost, but life can never be earned back if lost.
"Remember my words, keep your heart pure and desires few. If you break the precepts again, even gods can't save you."
Before leaving, Jiang Hanyan threatened again, and Jiang's father nodded vigorously, indicating that he had kept it in mind. He was really scared, and it would be really uncomfortable to be paralyzed.
"Where did the money go? Xu Dongxiu, did you take the money?"
"Bullshit, my money is gone too, are you crying thief?"
There was another commotion next door. Xu Dongxiu and Jiang Xiaoshu were fighting each other, each accusing the other of stealing money. Jiang Hanyan stood at the gate and watched for a while before reminding them, "Where is Jiang Tianbao?"
The couple stopped and stared at each other. Xu Dongxiu was the first to react and ran into the house. After a while, Xu Dongxiu's curse was heard: "The little bastard stole the money and ran away. I'm going to beat him to death!"
Uncle Jiang's face turned livid, he picked up the hatchet and walked out, he was going to settle accounts with that bastard, he even dared to steal his money, he was tired of living! Jiang Hanyan sneered, Jiang Tianbao must have run away long ago, it was also the fault of the couple, they were no good, they didn't give the child food, so naturally he would steal money and run away.
You deserve it!
Tomorrow is the 30th, I wish you a happy new year and a prosperous Year of the Rabbit!
