Chapter 4 Relics
The most important thing now is to stabilize Jiang You, coax her into agreeing, and then have Boss Wang send over the betrothal gifts to pay off the debt.
Li Haochen is still in the hands of loan sharks. Those people are vicious, and he can't risk it.
Li Tianming is tall and burly.
A single slap carried considerable force, and Ge Chunhua's half-face immediately swelled up.
Ge Chunhua's eyes instantly turned red, and she jumped up, ready to scratch Li Tianming's face.
They had agreed to use both soft and hard tactics to coax Jiang You into marrying that fool, and now he dared to lay a hand on her? It was simply outrageous!
"Li Tianming, you heartless man, you dare to hit me! You..."
She was about to say more when Li Tianming dragged her back into the room and locked her in.
Li Tianming stared at Jiang You guiltily, "Xiao You, I agree to your conditions. Your uncle is sorry for you."
Li Haochen was addicted to gambling and owed over two million outside.
These two million, plus their savings from all these years, should be enough to pay off the debt.
Moreover, the broken bracelet Jiang You's father left behind, he had already had someone appraise it.
It was a street vendor item, only worth one or two hundred yuan.
Something nobody wanted, so what if he gave it to her!
The most crucial thing right now is to redeem his son!
As for the remaining four million, he would coax it back later if he had the chance.
Jiang You was raised by him, and he knew her best; this child was incredibly soft-hearted and easy to coax.
If it weren't for the fact that this house was registered under Jiang You's name, he would have sold it long ago.
But this stubborn girl, usually she appeared very filial to her uncle, but whenever the house was mentioned, she would never agree.
She would say it was her home, and if she lost her home, she would have nothing.
Her temper was as stubborn and annoying as her short-lived father!
Thinking of his son, Li Tianming's mouth twitched with excitement, and his guilty expression was about to break.
"You really agreed to marry him? No regrets!"
Jiang You nodded, "Of course it's true. If Boss Wang is truly as you say, then marrying him means a good life for me.
I'll have money, leisure, and a husband who's a fool and won't philander. Why not?
Besides, my parents are gone, and I'll still have to get along well with you, Uncle, in the future. You are my maternal family.
If my cousin needs any help from me in the future, I certainly won't refuse..."
She kept painting grand, baseless promises, one after another.
Anyway, the grand promises Li Tianming had made to her over the years could fill a refrigerator.
She was merely imitating him.
Since she was back before the apocalypse, the first thing to do was definitely to hoard supplies.
Boss Wang's betrothal gifts, once they fell into her hands, he could forget about getting them back.
That old man was not a good person. In her previous life, if he hadn't nodded, could Li Tianming have brought that foolish son into her room?
Would he have had the guts to drug her?
Fortunately, she usually didn't dare to eat too much, fearing her aunt would scold her.
It was the same when she was drugged. She only ate a little rice before returning to her room, so the drug's effect wasn't enough, and she didn't completely pass out.
That fool came in and touched her twice, and she immediately woke up with a start.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a man with a crooked nose and eyes, drooling, pulling at her pants.
Jiang You found her limbs weak and, connecting it to recent events, immediately understood what was happening.
Fortunately, she always kept a small pair of scissors under her pillow. She grabbed the scissors and stabbed herself in the thigh, using the pain to clear her head.
That fool clearly had violent tendencies; as soon as he saw her awake, he clenched his fists and hit her. Jiang You also grabbed the small scissors and stabbed him.
Thus, he punched her, and she stabbed him, and both ended up injured.
Boss Wang felt that this future daughter-in-law was disobedient and would harm his son, so he no longer mentioned marriage.
Li Tianming's scheme also fell through, and later, he somehow managed to get Li Haochen back.
Jiang You felt no burden in swindling him out of four million.
As for the two million given to Li Tianming, she didn't care.
There is no gain without sacrifice; next, she needed to prepare for the apocalypse.
Wasting time dealing with Li Tianming would be the least cost-effective.
After receiving the news, Li Tianming happily packed his bags that same evening and moved out of her house.
And he returned Jiang You's father's belongings.
Among them was that inferior jade bracelet that looked dull, and it already had a crack.
Seeing this item, Jiang You breathed a sigh of relief.
After he left, she quickly locked the door, and without hesitation, used the tip of a knife to cut her finger, dripping blood onto it.
After the apocalypse in her previous life, she had seen this item on her cousin Li Yingyue's wrist.
She thought this bracelet held some special meaning for Li Yingyue, as it clearly looked of poor quality, very inferior.
It didn't seem like something her beauty-loving cousin would wear,
Yet she wore it every day, never taking it off, and treasured it greatly.
Until she was captured and sent to the Confinement Island.
Only then did Li Yingyue triumphantly tell her that this bracelet was her father's relic, and it was also a Space Treasure.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, she and her uncle's family struggled to survive.
Li Yingyue said she had awakened a Space Ability and could store things, becoming one of the first Ability Users. Her space could hold many supplies, and she didn't worry about them being stolen.
Because she was the first among everyone to awaken an Ability, Li Yingyue was always arrogant and looked down on others.
Jiang You initially did not awaken an Ability, but awakened a Wind Ability during an accidental battle.
After awakening her Ability,
Many dangerous tasks naturally fell upon her.
Li Yingyue had a Space Ability, no combat power, and could only serve as a mobile warehouse.
Although Li Haochen was a grown man, he only acted tough at home and his legs would turn to jelly when he saw zombies.
Li Haoxuan was only eight years old, still a child.
Ge Chunhua and Li Tianming were over fifty, and always claimed to be in poor health.
Jiang You did not know about the compensation money.
Unaware of the truth, she had always been grateful to her uncle for raising her.
Although her aunt's words were unpleasant, she also had the grace of raising her.
Therefore, she desperately protected her uncle's family, rushing to the front in times of danger; and for good food, she would first give it to the elders and the youngest, Li Haoxuan.
