"When we fought those people, we got a lot of gold and silver jewelry. Selling them should be enough."
When Zhang Cuilan heard this, she slapped her thighs and cried, "Oh my God, did that devil Yang Mumu calculate how much money our family has? He forced us to empty our pockets to get the money. We got those things with great difficulty, and I haven't even had the chance to wear them!"
"Keep your voice down, shut up. Do you want everyone to hear you? Go get it quickly. Gather everything together as soon as possible and bring it back as soon as possible. You will always find the time and opportunity to get it all back in the future." Zhao Bing half-squinted his eyes and stared ahead viciously.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Zhang Cuilan wiped her tears and ran to the inner room. A minute later, she came out holding a box. She opened the box and reluctantly touched the jewelries and the gold underneath before putting it in front of Zhao Bing. She looked inside the box again and again.
"How about keeping one or two? Never mind, we're still a long way from the amount, and it's important to get the money together, so take them all."
"Okay, I'll go to the black market and sell it, and I'll get my salary while I'm at it. You take out the money from home and wait for me to come back."
After Zhao Bing gave all the instructions, he put the box into a sack and carried it out the door.
Three hours later, Zhao Bing came back with a sullen face. Zhao Cuilan ran over when she saw him.
"How was it? How much did it sell for?"
"590. Those bastards in the black market are just as black-hearted as Yang Mumu. They only gave me this little even after I talked them to death. If they don't want to sell it to you, they're planning to steal it. How shameless."
Zhao Bing kicked the bench to vent his anger, then took the money out of his pocket and handed it to Zhang Cuilan to count.
Zhang Cuilan took out the money from home and counted it together, stamping her feet anxiously as she counted.
"What should we do now? We are still 249 short."
Zhao Bing was silent for a while, then he looked into the house and sighed, "What else can I do? I've sold everything at home, and will temporarily move back to the team to live in. There are still one or two shabby thatched houses that no one lives in on the team. I'll move back when I find a chance to get everything back from our home."
Zhang Cuilan was almost unable to stand and had to hold on to a chair to avoid falling to the ground. She covered her face and sobbed sadly.
"Wow, how could this happen? There is nothing left. Yang Mumu really took every penny of our family. Oh, God, why don't you open your eyes and take a look? How could you tolerate such a devil in this world? Lao Zhao, can we really get it back?"
"I will definitely get it back, don't worry, I have to get it back." Zhao Bing couldn't bear to give up all this, so he patted her shoulder and comforted her, "You take a rest first, I'll take the things at home and sell them. For now, I have to put up with that bitch Yang Mumu."
Zhao Bing sold all his property and finally managed to collect 3,200 yuan.
**
At 5 o'clock the next morning, Yang Mumu stretched himself and came out of the space full of energy.
I was holding a large stack of photos that I had developed yesterday afternoon and flipping through them, feeling very satisfied with my masterpiece.
"What a great shot! It's sure to amaze the whole city."
Five twenty was the agreed time, and presumably those people had already collected the money. Yang Mumu put the photos away, drank malted milk, ate boiled eggs, and took the time to check the surveillance video playback of the five people on the turntable.
Seeing that the three men had lost everything after collecting the money, he nodded with satisfaction.
The ransom she asked them to sign after carefully evaluating all the assets of the three people was worth it. It was really accurate. I give myself a five-star rating and pray to God for praise and more wealth.
At this time, the five men all came to her door at the same time, covering themselves up tightly, looking around with a very sneaky look.
The money delivery person is here.
Yang Mumu opened the door with a smile on her face and welcomed in five people with sad faces.
There was no light in the room. Only a candle that was about to burn out was lit. The flickering candlelight made the room extremely dark.
As soon as they walked into the house and sat down, the five of them couldn't help themselves.
Yang Zhong was the first to step forward and said, "We have brought the money, can you take out the things in your hands? It will be better for everyone if we finish it sooner."
"Uncle is still so anxious. If you don't show your sincerity, your niece's mind will be a little confused and her memory will be a little bad. I can't remember where I put those things. Oh, I can't remember the film at all."
Yang Mumu covered her head, not even bothering to pretend any expression, and looked at them with a smile.
Yang Zhong was furious, but he resisted the urge to change his expression and took out a stack of money from his bag and handed it over.
"My 2,500 yuan is all here. Count it yourself. Don't blame me for not giving you the full amount."
Zhao Bing suppressed his anger and reluctance and put all his belongings on the table.
"My 3,200 is clearly counted, not a cent less."
Finally, Xu Qiang walked forward with bruises all over his face and took out his share of the money from his inner lining.
"1800, as promised, you can take out the things in your hand now."
The five of them shifted their gazes from the money to Yang Mumu, and saw her tossing the familiar rolling pin in her hand and staring at them with a bright smile. Their nerves suddenly jumped, and they remembered what happened yesterday. The expressions on their faces restrained, and they sat down obediently without saying a word, waiting for her to make a move.
Yang Mumu knocked the rolling pin on the table, checked the money, put it all in her bag, and then took out three rolls of film, a letter of apology, and an IOU.
All five of them were excited, especially when they saw the film, their eyes turned red.
They didn't suspect that Yang Mumu had taken the film to develop the photos and kept them for herself. After all, it was too late. Although they were collecting money yesterday, they also secretly watched Yang Mumu and didn't see her go out.
"Everything you want is here. There are only three copies of the film, but there are five of you. If I give it to three of you, there will always be two who can't get it. The two of you will always be threatened by the other three. I'm sure you don't feel comfortable with anyone holding it. After all, this is evidence that could cost someone's life. For your safety, I'll help you eliminate this hidden danger. After checking it for you, I'll burn it in front of everyone. Do you have any objections?"
When the five people heard her words, they felt that they made sense for the first time. They thought that they should not fall into someone else's doghouse just after escaping from the wolf's den. It would be best to burn it so that there would be no evidence. Besides, they did not dare to resist in front of Yang Mumu. Look at the rolling pin that was shaking all the time. It was a clear threat and warning to them.
The five of them shook their heads in agreement: "No objection."
"Okay, in order to prevent any of you from being dishonest and secretly replacing the items when you touch them, I'll hold the items in my hands for you to check. Let me make it clear first, in order to prevent you from being dishonest and harming me in the future, I'll keep the IOU with me as a guarantee and burn the others."
This also makes sense. The IOU doesn't matter. It won't cost anyone's life and it won't threaten them. Just deal with the other two and then do what you need to do next.
The five people looked at each other warily, and their vigilance towards Yang Mumu disappeared a little, so they nodded and agreed.
"good."
"Now, line up in a row. I'll walk in front of you one by one. You must keep a close eye on each other to prevent them from making small moves and replacing things. If anything goes wrong, don't blame me."
Yang Mumu used psychological suggestion to divert the conflict, successfully leading the five people by the nose, staring at each other with suspicion.
