C4 Beauty steals the jade
"Fang Fang, is that Fang Fang? You forgive me? " Wu Ze said as she tightly held onto that small hand. He didn't expect this woman to return so quickly. It seemed that this woman's desire for money had made him lose his mind.
The pair of hands that were as white as jade was quickly pulled back.
"I am not Fang Fang." A melodious voice rang out, carrying an indescribable helplessness and sorrow in it.
"Sister-in-law, it's you?" What's the matter with you? " Although Wu Ze couldn't see, his senses were much sharper than that of an ordinary person's. He could tell that his sister-in-law must have suffered some sort of grievance.
His hands quickly found his sister-in-law's smooth jade-like face, but soon after, they began to heat up.
"Sister-in-law, why are you crying?" Who bullied you? "Hurry up and tell me, I'll help you take revenge. Although I might look like a blind person, I do have the strength and ability to do so." Wu Ze felt his sister-in-law's trembling body as she was crying, so he tightly held onto her head with his hands.
"Don't worry, no one is bullying me …" Sister-in-law used her hands to wipe away the tears on her face and kept shaking her head.
She calmed herself down and took out a pink embroidered handkerchief from the inside pocket of her white embroidered dress. The handkerchief was wrapped tightly and tied securely with a black string in the middle.
"Your cooking skills are also back home. You'll be able to finish your apprenticeship soon. Sister-in-law will arrange for you to massage your hands in the store in a few days. Keep this for Sister-in-law for now. Don't take it out unless you absolutely have to."
Although Wu Ze had some doubts in his heart, he thought that it was definitely something important. Otherwise, his sister-in-law would not tell him this.
Thus, he nodded his head and found a hidden place to hide.
On's husband's side, Zhang Zongchang was rummaging through the boxes, looking for something.
He overturned a few small porcelain teapots on the tea table, and a burst of crackling sounds just happened to drown out Chen Fang's footsteps.
"Tell me, where did you put that piece of jade? You don't know what kind of thing Wang Dafu used to give me on credit when he lost to the mahjong before, but that thing is worth a hundred thousand. " Zhang Zongchang pressed Tao Ru's head down hard on the ground and asked.
Through the small window on the outside, Chen Fang could clearly see everything that was happening inside the house.
"How many times have I told you? I've never seen that piece of jade before." Other than losing money every day, what else do you know? " Tao Ru pretended not to know.
"You hide that piece of jade and it has no value at all. Only the Old Wang family will spend a hundred thousand to buy that piece of jade. That is their family heirloom, do you believe that if you don't take it out now, I will sell you to Wang Dafu as his wife?" Zhang Zongchang threatened fiercely.
However, he was already used to scaring Tao Ru like this, she knew that even if she exchanged it for money, it would not be warm.
Suddenly, a sound came from outside the window. Chen Fang accidentally touched something, and then quickly found a concealed place to squat.
"Who, who the hell is it …" Zhang Zongchang turned and walked to the side of the door.
When Chen Fang heard these footsteps, her forehead had already started to be covered in beads of sweat.
Squatting at this place in the firewood, he was sure that the person inside would be discovered the moment they came out. Tao Ru did not notice anything when she came out, it was just that this was Zhang Zongchang's home, and everyone in the village knew that he was a fellow who was inferior to a beast. She would definitely send him to the Public Security Bureau as a thief, or slander him, and extort a large amount of money.
Chen Fang heard that the footsteps were getting closer and closer, so he was so scared that his whole body started to tremble.
Suddenly, a little kitten pounced into Zhang Zongchang's embrace.
"So it's a little beast!" As Zhang Zongchang said this, he opened the door and threw the flower cat out into the air, before returning back inside the house.
Chen Fang who was at the corner of the wall took a deep breath of air, found the right time to quickly slip away.
She was already deeply aware of the danger of staying here even one more minute.
After Chen Fang secretly slipped away, she was originally planning to return home. However, because Tao Ru's and Wu Ze's house were right next to each other, she passed by the door of Wu Ze's house.
She saw that the door to Wu Ze's house was wide open, but the courtyard was empty.
If not, he would go to Wu Ze's home and investigate further. If she really found the IOU, then the temptation of the one hundred thousand note would be really huge.
"Brother Ze, are you home?" Chen Fang tried to call out to Wu Ze in a soft voice.
"Brother Ze... Brother Ze. " Chen Fang called out a few times but no one agreed.
So she searched through all the rooms, but she still didn't find any trace of Wu Ze.
Chen Fang's gaze uncontrollably fell on the tall cabinet. A corner of a pink handkerchief was revealed at the highest point of the cabinet.
Chen Fang thought to herself, who would place a handkerchief in such a place?
There had to be something wrapped in that bright-colored handkerchief. Could it be the promissory note?
After looking at it, I can confirm whether what Wu Ze said is true or not. Hearing is false, seeing is believing, what if Wu Ze is lying to me, or maybe that isn't 100,000? As Chen Fang thought about this, she couldn't help but get closer to that cabinet. That cabinet was too tall, and the hand that Chen Fang used to tiptoe to reach high up didn't even manage to touch a corner of the handkerchief.
She simply picked up a stool from the inside of the room and easily stepped on it to remove the handkerchief.
Chen Fang, who was wholeheartedly focusing on taking that handkerchief, did not notice in the slightest that Wu Ze, who was outside the door, was already walking in with his walking stick, but did not expect to hear some sound from the cupboard.
