Chapter 061 Step-Mom, If You Don't Return My Ring, My Mom Will Come Chat with You Tonight

Fan Qingyi quickly glanced at the mother and son, the greed in her eyes all too evident.

"Where are all these questions coming from? Just give it to me!"

The step-mom glanced at her, her gaze filled with disdain and contempt. "You give the money to your brother so that when you're bullied by your in-laws, he'll help you."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Fan Shouli rubbed his hands together. "If you don't give the money, I won't stand up for you."

"So that's how it is..."

Fan Qingyi nodded. "It's not impossible."

"You dare say it's impossible..."

The step-mom was about to explode but suddenly paused, looking at Fan Qingyi in confusion. "What? You... agreed?"

"Yes, I agreed." Fan Qingyi nodded.

The step-mom couldn't believe it, staring at Fan Qingyi for a long time.

Fan Shouli nudged his mother with his elbow. "Mom, get the money."

The step-mom snapped back to reality, saying "Oh, oh," and asked Fan Qingyi for the money.

Fan Qingyi looked up at her. "I can give the money, but you need to let Fan Shouli go to my in-laws first and support me. Help me, and then I'll give the money."

"We won't go if you don't give the money." The step-mom immediately replied.

Fan Qingyi looked at her daughter with dark, round eyes. "If you don't go, I won't give the money."

"Hahaha, Mom, you're so bad, but I love it!"

The mother and son were speechless.

"You're playing us." The step-mom glared.

Fan Shouli also glared menacingly at her.

Fan Qingyi quickly glanced at them. "When you go to town to buy things, do you give the money before getting the items? What if they run away? What if they take the money and don't do anything?"

The step-mom was silent.

When did this brat become so clever?

Fan Shouli looked at his mother, and they stared at each other.

"If we go, will you really give the money?"

Fan Qingyi nodded. "If I don't give it, you can come and stab me."

Fan Shouli was speechless.

He gritted his teeth. "Fine! We'll go right now!"

"Ah..."

The step-mom called out twice but couldn't stop them, so she glared at Fan Qingyi. "How much can you give?"

"..." Fan Qingyi continued. "That depends on how you support me. If you just yell a bit, it's just tea and running errands, no more than two yuan. If you can fight with those who bully us, then it's at least ten yuan..."

"That's it! Let's fight!" Fan Shouli picked up a shovel and handed a hoe to his mother. "Let's go!"

Fan Qingyi agreed, quickly glancing at the mother and son, and whispered a reminder.

"The child's third uncle has been hunting with the child's father since childhood. He can kill a wild boar with one axe and pierce a rabbit's neck with an arrow. He can kick over the big stone roller we use for threshing. With Fan Shouli's small frame, he could kick him three or four times, sending him flying five or six meters."

"What?!"

"You want to get me killed!"

Fan Shouli stumbled, almost falling, and glared fiercely at Fan Qingyi.

The step-mom was equally shocked, wishing she could devour Fan Qingyi. "Why did you let your brother go? What are you thinking?"

"Weren't you crying and begging to support me?"

Fan Qingyi looked up innocently, meeting her gaze.

The step-mom was speechless.

This brat still looks submissive, but her words can drive anyone mad!

Just like that Wenfeng, so annoying!

"Bitch, I see you're doing this on purpose! Coming back just to cause trouble..."

Fan Qingyi blinked, nodding. "I've been learning how to argue with the villagers recently. How do you think I'm doing?"

The step-mom was speechless.

Her lips twitched. Learning to argue? She must be crazy!

Fan Shouli spat, threw the shovel aside, and said, "Waste of time, I'm leaving."

"Give me the money!"

The stepmother reached out to grab her son, but Fan Shouli dodged and jumped away, fleeing outside.

She chased him out of the courtyard but couldn't catch up.

Fuming, she returned.

Seeing Fan Qingyi calmly sitting under the eaves with the child in her arms, she spat, "Well, what did you come back for? Get lost if you have nothing to do!"

"I have something."

Fan Qingyi looked at her. "I came to ask for the stone ring my mother left me."

"What old ring? When did I ever see it..."

The stepmother instinctively rebutted, then suddenly remembered halfway through, "That old stone?"

"Yes, the one with the carved flowers that you took when you married into our family. It's time to give it back." Fan Qingyi said.

The stepmother rolled her eyes. "Fan Qingyi, are you really that stupid or just pretending? Do you think I'd give you anything that's in my hands? What daydreams are you having!"

"You won't give it?"

Fan Qingyi's gaze flickered as she glanced towards the east room.

The stepmother huffed. "No."

"Oh."

Fan Qingyi nodded. "So many years have passed; I had forgotten about this ring. But my mother appeared in my dream last night and said if you don't give it back, she'll come for you tonight."

The stepmother sat up straight, looking at Fan Qingyi suspiciously.

"You're lying. I don't believe you. Don't try to scare me; I wasn't raised on fear."

Fan Qingyi glanced at her and lowered her eyes. "If you don't believe me, wait until tonight. You'll know the truth by tomorrow morning. Why would I lie about this?"

The stepmother was speechless.

"If you weren't scared, that's good. On my way here, I was worried that if my real mother scared you to death, Fan Shouli would be left without a mother..."

The stepmother stiffened. "You... are serious?"

"My mother... is serious, right?"

Fan Qingyi replied, lifting her eyes to smile at her.

That smile was cold and unsettling, her eyes not quite meeting hers but seemingly staring at some dirty thing behind her, sending chills down her spine!

"You... your mother... is dead?"

Only the dead can appear in dreams, right?

Fan Qingyi smiled without saying a word, making the stepmother's hair stand on end.

Smile, keep smiling!

It's just an old stone ring, isn't it?

Is it worth coming back from the dead to claim?!

Fuming, she stood up. "Wait!"

The ring, with its intricately carved flowers, was dusty and colorless. She hadn't worn it for years and had tossed it into a drawer in the main room.

She fished it out and threw it at Fan Qingyi.

"Take the ring and get lost! Don't come back unless you have a reason. Seeing you makes me sick!"

"Wow! It's really the legendary jade ring! Mom, let's go, let's go, don't give her a chance to change her mind!"

Fan Qingyi grabbed the ring, tucked it into her palm, picked up her little daughter, and headed out with the basket.

"Rest assured, I won't come back to this house again. Seeing you all makes me sick too."

The stepmother, "...White-eyed wolf! Get lost!"

Every word had a response, every word grating on her nerves.

How did Li Wenfeng raise his wife to be so annoying?

After walking nearly a mile out of Fan Village, Fan Qingyi finally stopped, placing her little daughter back in the basket and carefully examining the ring in her hand.

Several flowers intertwined, resembling orchids.

Her little daughter excitedly shouted in her mind.

"Mom, quick, drop blood to acknowledge ownership... Oops! Drop blood to claim it! Once you claim it, Li Yuanbao will never be able to take the jade ring space away."
