Jadeite Hairpin

Instantly, Sikong Jing's action of taking money paused again, quite surprised.

Where did Su Yuexi get so much money...

Right, she hadn't been home all day, and he didn't know where she went.

Doctor Sun, who had taken the money, breathed a sigh of relief, quickly left the room, and instructed the medicine boy to decoct the medicine.

Su Yuexi nervously ran to Su Zhenglong's bedside, calling out, "Daddy, get well soon, we can't be without you."

"Yuexi, where did you get three Gold Crystal Coins?"

Mei Xiaofang's voice suddenly sounded behind her. The family had no money at all now, and Su Yuexi's money had been confiscated by Su Xuefeng because she married Sikong Jing, a criminal.

Mei Xiaofang was naturally curious about this.

Su Yuexi's body trembled abruptly, and she replied with dry lips, "Mother, I pawned the Jadeite Hairpin."

"What!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mei Xiaofang screamed and rushed behind Su Yuexi, pulling her up and shouting, "You pawned the Jadeite Hairpin? That was the last gift your sister gave you."

Su Yuexi's eyes turned completely red, and she cried, "I'm sorry, sister, but I really had no choice. Tomorrow is the day to pay Aunt Li and the others their wages. If there's no money, Sikong Jing will, will... die!"

Sikong Jing's whole body trembled violently.

Su Yuexi hadn't been home all day because she went to the pawnshop for him, and she even pawned the last gift her sister gave her!

That Jadeite Hairpin must have been something very precious to her.

"Whether he lives or dies, that was your sister's gift to you, that was, that was..." Mei Xiaofang's voice began to tremble, unable to utter a complete sentence.

"Mother, this is also Daddy's life-saving money now," Su Yuexi said, crying.

Boom!

Mei Xiaofang staggered back two steps, closed her eyes, and couldn't say anything.

She knew very well that even if she begged Su Xuefeng now, she might not get the money. Even if she did, Sikong Jing and Su Yuexi would likely live in the Pig Farm forever.

They might even have their limbs broken for avenging Su Yang.

"This life is unbearable."

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Mei Xiaofang gave a bitter laugh and went out in a daze.

At this moment, Sikong Jing walked over and said seriously, "Yuexi, didn't I tell you I could get the money?"

Su Yuexi looked up, her eyes teary, and stared at him, forcing a smile. "You don't need to comfort me. How could you possibly earn ten times the wages in just three days? It's impossible."

Sikong Jing was a banished criminal, and it was basically impossible for him to find a way to make money, and no one dared to hire him.

Even if he weren't a criminal, he was an outsider, unfamiliar with the place, so how could he make money?

Jingle bells...

Just then, Sikong Jing suddenly shook the money bag in his hand and then opened it, shining it in front of Su Yuexi.

The golden Gold Crystal Coins met her eyes.

At that moment, Su Yuexi was stunned and covered her mouth in disbelief.

"Yuexi, I told you that the Lord of Yun Province deliberately arranged this marriage for me, so I wouldn't be an ordinary person. You really don't need to worry about money," Sikong Jing said with a very serious and cautious expression. He couldn't 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, which was not something just anyone could produce.

"Don't ask so many questions for now. Let's go and redeem the Jadeite Hairpin right now." Sikong Jing did not explain. Revealing that he had created a Yellow Grade High Tier martial skill involved too many things.

Su Yuexi shivered violently and nodded, "Okay, I'll take you."

If she hadn't been forced into a corner, she would never have pawned the Jadeite Hairpin, the last gift from her sister Su Yuexian. Now that Sikong Jing had the money to redeem it, Su Yuexi naturally wouldn't be polite.

After informing Mei Xiaofang, the two of them hurried out of the house.

But clearly, Mei Xiaofang had no intention of listening to them now; she was discussing Su Zhenglong's condition with Doctor Sun.

Half an hour later, they arrived at a pawnshop called Hengyu on the east side of Yunye City.

The next moment, Su Yuexi's scream rang out from the pawnshop.

"What did you say? How could you sell my Jadeite Hairpin?"

Su Yuexi stared intently at the shopkeeper of Hengyu Pawnshop in front of her, her expression agitated, her whole body trembling.

Pawnshops generally had a redemption period. After pawning an item, the customer would be given a time limit to redeem it, for example, coming back after three months to redeem it with a higher price.

Only after this period would the item belong to the pawnshop.

Su Yuexi had also planned to redeem the Jadeite Hairpin when she had money in the future.

But in less than half a day, Hengyu Pawnshop had already sold it. This was a breach of agreement.

The shopkeeper shrugged and said gracefully, "Everyone knows that the ugly monster of the Su Mansion can't afford to redeem it. It's impossible even in a hundred years. Of course, I sold it when the price was right."

"You've gone too far," Su Yuexi said, both angry and anxious, her face filled with grief and despair.

Crash...

Suddenly, Sikong Jing violently tore apart the counter railing, grabbed the shopkeeper by the hair, and hauled half his body out before slapping him across the face. "Is 'ugly hag' something you are qualified to call her?"

The shopkeeper's head rang from the blow, and he shrieked, "You bastard! You dare hit me and destroy my counter?"

Smack!

Another slap landed on the shopkeeper's face.

"I hit you because you deserve it. If you dare insult my wife, you must be prepared to be beaten. That is the first reason."

"As for the second, who gave you the nerve to sell my wife's pawned item?"

Sikong Jing glared with tiger-like eyes. Along the way, he had learned just how important the Jadeite Hairpin was to Su Yuexi. It was not merely a gift from her sister, Su Yuexian; it was a keepsake for her and her parents to remember Su Yuexian by.

When Su Yuexian was taken away by that noble young master, she had told Su Yuexi's family that if they missed her, they should take out the hairpin and look at it.

It was the family's spiritual anchor for Su Yuexian.

However, the Hengyu Pawnshop shopkeeper did not care about any of that. He screamed like a madman, "Someone come! Quickly, come and beat this pair of dogs to death!"

Clatter, clatter...

A dozen men rushed in from outside the pawnshop, each of them a thug at the fifth or sixth level of the Bright Realm.

Su Yuexi's face turned pale again, and just as she was about to speak...

Sikong Jing had already tossed the shopkeeper aside and swept into the fray. Bang, bang, bang... Before the dozen thugs could even react, they all collapsed to the ground, wailing as Sikong Jing slammed them down.

The next second, Sikong Jing returned to Su Yuexi's side, grabbed the shopkeeper by the hair once more, and said, "I want to redeem the Jadeite Hairpin right now. Give it to me immediately, or your head will roll."

As he spoke, Sikong Jing casually snatched a machete from one of the thugs and pressed it against the shopkeeper's neck, his intent to kill surging.

The shopkeeper was terrified, staring blankly at Sikong Jing.

Wasn't it said that Su Yuexi's criminal husband was a sickly weakling? How could he be this terrifying?

"Here are the twenty Gold Crystal Coins agreed upon for the redemption. Get me the Jadeite Hairpin immediately." Sikong Jing tossed the twenty Gold Crystal Coins onto the counter, staring coldly at the shopkeeper as the blade's edge radiated a chilling frost.
