When she saw the dilapidated brick house once again, after stepping on the solid land, Mo Yan felt that all her rationality return.

Looking at Luo Tao’s calm and collected gaze, Mo Yan really wanted to speak up, but in the end, she could only stammer, “Today... I was going home to ask for my dowry, but...”

She really did not know how to explain this matter. It would show the difference between her and the Mo family’s eldest daughter, Mo Lian, who was doted on by thousands of people.

Luo Tao lowered his gaze and saw her furrowed brows. He said indifferently, “I don’t care. There’s no need to tell me.”

He wanted to know what had happened at the Mo family house today. However, there were many methods he could go about it. There was no need to embarrass Mo Yan.

“Alright.” Mo Yan replied softly. She gave Luo Tao, who had walked into the courtyard to practice his martial arts, a grateful look and bent down to put down the bamboo basket.

When Mo Lian chased her out of the Mo family home, the bamboo basket was also heavily smashed to the ground. She was too sad at that time and had forgotten that there were still more than ten little guys in the bamboo basket.

Mo Yan carefully opened the lid and looked inside anxiously.

Fortunately, although more than half of the chickens and ducklings had been smashed to death, there were still two chickens and three ducks that were alive.

Mo Yan gently picked up the little ones and gave them food and water in two small broken bowls. Then, she took the bamboo basket and went out again.

She wanted to find a place to bury these poor little animals.

From the corner of his eye, Luo Tao caught a glimpse of Mo Yan walking towards the woods behind the house with the bamboo basket. Only then did he take out his cell phone from his pocket.

The call went through very quickly. Luo Tao was expressionless.

“Fourth Master Huo, we’ve found out the truth. The Mo family promised Madam a dowry of 500,000 yuan if she got married to Luo Tao. But today, they went back on their word and didn’t give it to her. They even humiliated her. Madam’s mother needs money for her medical fees, and her condition is so dire her surgery can’t be delayed any longer.”

“Okay.” Luo Tao responded. His index finger slowly knocked on the wooden table, and he was silent for a while.

Even in such a situation, Mo Yan was unwilling to tell her husband the truth. Then, was there a need for him to intervene?

After a pause, Luo Tao did not continue his instructions and hung up.

After a while, Mo Yan returned with an empty bamboo basket. Standing outside the brick wall, she carefully wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve.

The two of them ate in silence during their lunch.

Mo Yan buried her head in her meal, her mind still thinking about her mother and brother in the hospital.

She would probably not be able to get her 500,000 yuan dowry from the Mo family, so she had to find another way.

Where could she get the money quickly?

Mo Yan even wanted to take out a loan or sell her organs.

However, the money would still take too long to reach her account. Her mother could not afford to wait any longer.

As she thought about this, she suddenly thought of the jade bracelet that Luo Tao gave her.

She could not help but look at the dark red old wardrobe at the side. The bracelet that was worth at least a few hundred thousand yuan was quietly sitting in the drawer of the wardrobe at this moment.

She was really desperate... so she wanted to sell it first. Then, when she made money in the future, she would redeem it and return it to him.

Mo Yan took a deep breath and finished the rice in her bowl. Then, she raised her head and said to Luo Tao innocently, “Luo Tao, I still have to make a trip to the city later.”

Luo Tao saw the determination and nervousness in her eyes. He immediately understood what she wanted to do.

The bracelet was originally given to her. So, it was her decision to use it to save her mother.

Hence, Luo Tao nodded his head lightly. After eating, he even went out for a jog, leaving Mo Yan with a chance to make a move.

After watching Luo Tao’s figure run far away on the village path, Mo Yan nervously clutched her chest and took out the small wooden box containing the jade bracelet from the drawer.

With the bracelet, she entered the city without stopping.

Mo Yan did not understand Jade and was afraid of being deceived by black-hearted businessmen again. Therefore, she chose the largest jewelry store in the city, took a deep breath, and walked in.

“Hello, I’m here to sell Jade.” Mo Yan walked to the counter and gently placed the wooden box on the glass counter.

The lady behind the counter with exquisite makeup glanced at her, then smiled and said, “Hello, Miss, may I know if you want to pawn it?”

“Yes.” Mo Yan looked down at the small wooden box and reached out to open the lid.

“Wow.” The lady in the counter exclaimed in a small voice. Under the bright lights of the jewelry store, the bracelet lying in the wooden box looked especially pure and eye-catching.

“This bracelet is too expensive. I’ll have to call our boss to have a look. Please wait a moment.” The lady in the counter looked at the bracelet again and then hurriedly went to look for her boss.
