Chapter 583: Five hundred and eighty-one, lesson

"She smashed the jade bracelet Luo Shu had in her drawer," Chen Xiaomeng began.

Zhang Xiaoling turned her head and immediately saw the jade bracelet on the ground.

Seeing Yang Le and Zhang Xiaoling walk in, Yang Xing’s eyes lit up. She stood up and rushed towards them, "Third Brother... Sister-in-Law... please save me..." They were now her only lifeline.

Seeing Yang Xing in this state, Yang Le shook his head helplessly and looked at Luo Shu, "Sister-in-law Lu, may I ask how much this jade bracelet costs?" After all, Yang Xing was his sister; he couldn’t just abandon her.

"Around eight thousand," Luo Shu said.

Upon hearing this, Yang Le’s face showed difficulty. If it had been eight hundred, he might have been able to scrape it together, but eight thousand was truly beyond his means.

At this moment, Zhang Qi and two public security officers walked in from outside.

"Third Brother... save me... I don’t want to go to jail... please save me..." Seeing the officers, Yang Xing finally couldn’t hold back her fear and began to cry, pleading as she clung to Yang Le’s arm.

"How can we save you? Do you think we run a bank? You must take responsibility for your own actions. Let’s go!" Zhang Xiaoling said, pulling Yang Le out with her. She knew the jade bracelet must have been put there by Luo Shu, and naturally, she wouldn’t disappoint her kind gesture. People like Yang Xing needed a memorable lesson; otherwise, they would never learn.

"Third Brother, Sister-in-Law, don’t go, please save me..." Yang Xing tried to follow them but was stopped by the public security officers.

"We just received a report that you have been rummaging through things at will and damaging private property. Please come with us to the Public Security Office to assist with the investigation," Officer Liu said sternly. Ever since Luo Shu bought this house, the previous eerie horror had vanished. Not only were the town’s residents grateful to Luo Shu, but their colleagues at the Public Security Office were as well.

People used to faint in front of this house often, forcing their colleagues to come over to handle it. Every time they would be terrified by the chilling atmosphere, standing with goosebumps all over. Now, thankfully, they no longer had to endure that feeling. Moreover, upon entering, he noticed the air seemed especially fresh.

"I won’t go... don’t arrest me... I don’t want to go... Third Brother... save me..." Despite Yang Xing’s struggle, she was still taken away by the two public security officers.

Seeing Yang Xing being taken away, Yang Le wanted to follow but was held back firmly by Zhang Xiaoling, "She needs to learn this lesson. Let her spend a couple of days to suffer a little; then we’ll go get her out. Otherwise, she’ll never change for the better."

Yang Le clenched his eyes shut and bit his teeth. Only then did he manage to suppress the urge to go after Yang Xing. Watching her being taken away by the officers was heartbreaking, but her actions these past days had been a grave disappointment. Perhaps it really was time for her to face the consequences and mature from the experience.

Seeing Luo Shu come out, Zhang Xiaoling released Yang Le’s arm and stepped forward with gratitude, "Luo Shu, thank you! But I can’t afford to pay for that bracelet right now; I’ll have to work and pay you back little by little." Luo Shu’s method this time was indeed effective—now Yang Le’s brother and sister-in-law surely wouldn’t dare to target the factory again.

As for that sum, she planned to split it. None of them could escape responsibility. Whether they paid her back or not, she would make them sign IOUs; she intended to keep them indebted to her forever.

Luo Shu gave a faint smile, "Alright!" If she didn’t have Zhang Xiaoling repay her, she would certainly be uneasy.

Given the factory’s current trend of development, it wouldn’t take long to achieve Zhang Xiaoling’s goal. By then, eight thousand would be a mere trifle to her.

"Luo Shu, how did you know Yang Xing would go and open the drawer? And when did you put the bracelet in there?" Zhang Xiaoling asked curiously.

"I put the bracelet in there last night. I wasn’t entirely sure she would open the drawer, but surprisingly, she did," Luo Shu said. Dealing with such shameless people required such tactics; scolding or hitting them would have been completely ineffective.

"If it weren’t for you this time, I really wouldn’t know how to handle it, thank you!" Zhang Xiaoling said with a smile, expressing her gratitude. She felt she was becoming increasingly indebted to Luo Shu; if Luo Shu hadn’t thought of this method, she and Yang Le definitely wouldn’t have passed this test so easily.

"Go back and rest. Your eyes are so red, they’re almost catching up with a rabbit’s," Luo Shu joked.

Zhang Xiaoling smiled, nodded her head, and waved to Luo Shu, "Then I’ll go back first." She felt tired now that she had relaxed.

"Mm!" Luo Shu responded.

Watching Zhang Xiaoling and Yang Le leave, Luo Shu turned her head, exchanged smiles with everyone, and walked toward the back yard. Now, she could finally avoid seeing the annoying person.

Life returned to its peaceful routine. Following Zhao Aishu and his group’s departure, Zhu Huizhen and Ye Shanshan, who had stayed for a few days, also went back to Jinchen, and Luo Shu naturally moved back to the family compound.

Luo Shu was sitting on the sofa watching TV when she heard a knock at the door. She stood up, walked out of the house, and opened the front gate.

Qi Hui and Wu Yuan were standing at the doorstep. Seeing Luo Shu open the door, Qi Hui asked, "Luo Shu, we’re going into the city, do you need anything brought back?" Luo Shu was now pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to go out, so since they were going into the city for shopping, they thought to ask her if she needed anything.

"I’ll go with you," Luo Shu said. It had been a long time since she had gone out, and it would be nice to take a stroll.

Wu Yuan glanced at Luo Shu’s belly, "Are you sure your body can handle it? The trip to the city is not a short one." Looking at Luo Shu’s delicate appearance, she was genuinely worried. Although she did fieldwork when she was pregnant, she was strong; Luo Shu surely wasn’t comparable to her.

Luo Shu stretched her hand to close the gate, "It’s okay, I know my limits; let’s drive there."

"How about we take the bus? You shouldn’t be driving while pregnant," Qi Hui suggested. The bus might be a bit wobbly, but it was still a stable ride.

"Don’t worry, Sisters-in-law, I can manage, I definitely won’t drive us into a ditch," Luo Shu said with a smile.

Since Luo Shu insisted, Wu Yuan and Qi Hui could only nod in agreement.

The three of them got into the car and headed for the city.

Upon arriving, they found the streets particularly lively that day.

"I almost forgot, today is the 25th of the seventh month in the Ancient Calendar. It is said that every year on this day, celestial beings descend to the mortal world, taking the form of beggars or vendors, blending in with the crowd to help and guide people. If you have the good fortune to encounter a celestial being, you will receive celestial blessings and good luck," Qi Hui said. She had come to participate in this temple fair every year for the first few years after she moved here. Although it was just a legend, she too wanted to catch some good fortune.
