25: Chapter 025 Jade Hairpin 25: Chapter 025 Jade Hairpin Suddenly, Sikong Jing’s action of taking out the money paused again, quite unexpectedly.
Where did Su Yuexi get so much money…
Right, she seemed to have been out all day, and I don’t know where she went.
Doctor Sun, on the other hand, sighed in relief upon receiving the money, hurriedly left the room, and instructed the attendant to brew the medicine.
Su Yuexi, anxious, ran to Su Zhenglong’s bedside, calling out, “Dad, come on, you have to get better.
We can’t be without you.”
“Yue Xi, where did you get three Gold Crystal Coins?”
Mei Xiaofang’s voice abruptly rose behind her.
The house was now completely out of money, and even Su Yuexi’s funds had been scrupulously confiscated by Su Xuefeng because she married Sikong Jing, a criminal.
Obviously, Mei Xiaofang was curious.
Su Yuexi’s body suddenly trembled, and she replied with a dry mouth, “Mom, I pawned the Jade hairpin.”
As these words fell, Mei Xiaofang screamed, rushed behind Su Yuexi, pulled her up, and scolded, “You pawned the Jade hairpin?
That was the last gift your sister gave to you.”
Su Yuexi’s eyes reddened completely as she cried, “I’m sorry to my sister, but I really had no other choice.
Tomorrow is the day to settle the wages for Aunt Li and the others.
If there’s no money, Sikong Jing will, he will…
Sikong Jing shook violently.
Su Yuexi was not home all day, just to go to the pawnshop for him, and even pawned the last gift her sister gave her!
That Jade hairpin must have been extremely precious to her.
“Let him die if he must, that’s something your sister gave to you, it’s…
it’s…” Mei Xiaofang’s voice began to tremble, and she couldn’t finish her sentence.
“Mother, this is also dad’s lifesaving money now,” Su Yuexi said through her tears.
Mei Xiaofang stepped back, closed her eyes, and was rendered speechless.
She knew very well that even if they begged Su Xuefeng now, they might not get any money; and even if they did, Sikong Jing and Su Yuexi might have to live in the pig farm forever.
They could even be crippled to avenge Su Yang.
“We can’t live this life anymore.”
The more she thought, the more aggrieved she felt, Mei Xiaofang let out a miserable laugh and left in a fit of insanity.
At this moment, Sikong Jing came over and said earnestly, “Yue Xi, didn’t I tell you that I can get money?”
Su Yuexi lifted her head, her eyes brimming with tears, and she forced a smile, “You don’t have to comfort me.
How could you possibly earn ten times the wages in just three days?
Sikong Jing, being an exiled criminal, basically had no chance of finding a way to make money, and nobody dared to employ him.
Even if he wasn’t a criminal, being an outsider unfamiliar with the area, how could he make money?
Just then, Sikong Jing suddenly shook the money bag in his hand and then opened it in front of Su Yuexi.
The glittering Gold Crystal Coins came into her view.
In that instant, Su Yuexi was stunned, covering her mouth in disbelief.
“Yue Xi, I told you that if the Lord of Yunzhou deliberately arranged this marriage for me, I wouldn’t be an ordinary person.
You really don’t need to worry about the money,” Sikong Jing said with an extremely serious and grave expression, determined not to let the same thing happen again.
Still covering her mouth, Su Yuexi asked, “How did you do it?”
At a glance, there were at least dozens of Gold Crystal Coins, not something just anyone could produce on a whim.
“Don’t ask too much for now.
Let’s go redeem the Jade hairpin right away,” Sikong Jing did not explain, as talking about the Yellow Grade Upper Stage Martial Technique he had inscribed involved quite a few matters.
Su Yuexi shivered violently and nodded, “Okay, I’ll take you there.”
If she had not been forced into a corner, she would have never pawned the last gift her sister, Su Yue Immortal, had given her.
Now that Sikong Jing had the money to redeem it, Su Yuexi was not going to be polite with him.
After informing Mei Xiaofang, the two hurriedly left home.
But it was clear that Mei Xiaofang was not in the mood to listen to what they had to say as she was discussing Su Zhenglong’s condition with Doctor Sun.
An hour later, they arrived at a pawnshop called Hengyu in East Yunye City.
The very next moment, Su Yuexi’s scream rang out from inside the pawnshop.
How could you sell my Jade hairpin?”
Su Yuexi glared fiercely at the Hengyu Pawnshop’s shopkeeper, her expression agitated, her whole body trembling.
Usually, pawnshops have a time limit for redemption — customers are given a period to redeem their pawned items by paying a higher price, such as three months later.
If this deadline is exceeded, only then do the items belong to the pawnshop.
Su Yuexi had also thought that once she truly had enough money, she would redeem the Jade hairpin.
But Hengyu Pawnshop sold the item in less than half a day, which was a breach of their agreement.
The shopkeeper simply shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, “Who doesn’t know that the freak of the Su Residence will never have the money to redeem it?
Even if you had a hundred years, it wouldn’t be possible.
Since the price was right, of course, I sold it.”
“You’ve gone too far,” Su Yuexi said, both angry and anxious, with a face full of bitterness and despair.
Suddenly, Sikong Jing violently tore apart the counter’s barrier, grabbed the shopkeeper by the hair and pulled him halfway out, then slapped him across the face, demanding, “Is ‘freak’ something you can call someone?”
The shopkeeper’s head buzzed from the slap as he screamed, “You bastard, you dare hit me and destroy my counter?”
Another slap landed on the shopkeeper’s face.
“I’m hitting you because you dared to insult my wife.
Be prepared to be slapped for it, that’s one thing.”
“Secondly, you dared to sell my wife’s pawned item.
Who gave you the courage?”
Sikong Jing glared fiercely, having learned on the way how important the Jade hairpin was to Su Yuexi.
It was not only a gift from her sister, Su Yue Immortal, but it was also the way she and her parents-in-law remembered Su Yue Immortal.
When Su Yue Immortal was taken away by a noble young master, she told the Su Yuexi family that if they missed her, they should look at the Jade hairpin.
It was a spiritual token for the family’s remembrance of Su Yue Immortal.
However, the Hengyu Manager didn’t care about all this and crazily shouted, “Someone come quick, beat this dog couple to death!”
In an instant, more than a dozen men rushed into the pawnshop, each one a fighter of the Bright Realm at the Fifth or Sixth Realm.
Su Yuexi’s face turned white again, about to say something…
But Sikong Jing had already thrown the shopkeeper aside and swept out, and with several bangs…
before the more than ten fighters could even react, they all fell to the ground, no longer getting up, screaming and calling out as Sikong Jing pounded them to the floor.
The next second, Sikong Jing returned to Su Yuexi’s side, grabbed the shopkeeper’s hair again, and demanded, “I want to redeem the Jade hairpin right now.
Bring it to me immediately, or you’ll lose your head.”
As he spoke, Sikong Jing casually drew a chopper from one of the pawnshop fighters, pressed it against the shopkeeper’s neck, with a murderous aura seething.
The shopkeeper was terrified, staring fixedly at Sikong Jing.
Wasn’t it said that Su Yuexi’s criminal husband was a sickly good-for-nothing?
How could he be so frightening?
“Here are the twenty Gold Crystal Coins agreed upon for the redemption, bring me the Jade hairpin right now,” Sikong Jing said as he tossed twenty Gold Crystal Coins onto the counter, staring coldly at the shopkeeper with the chilling edge of the knife.
