CHAPTER 886: CHAPTER 862: ACCUMULATING VIRTUE AND DOING GOOD DEEDS

"So you’re Brother Jin, are you? You just want money, let’s talk it out. Fan Jinkui, you can get up now."

Jiang Xiaoxiao spoke.

The tattooed man grinned as he walked over, "Sister, I can tell you’re someone who understands. You know it’s not easy doing business! Feeding so many people, all the eating and drinking, everywhere needs money.

Besides, I’m not some swindler. We’re doing legitimate business here. You knew before borrowing that it was a high-interest loan, and I didn’t force you.

But now you’re acting like I owe you millions. It’s not right!"

Fan Jinkui wore a mournful expression.

"Sis! Help me pay back the money, and I’ll repay you for life!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao gently moved her leg.

"Better not. I can’t afford your kind of repayment. Is once not enough, counting money after being sold?"

Fan Jinkui felt utterly ashamed! His little schemes seemed shameless in front of her.

It was utterly shameless.

The tattooed man, Brother Jin, took a look and laughed, sensing something was off.

"Sister, what are you two trying to pull? Are you going to tell me you don’t know each other? Sister! Don’t take me for a fool."

His tone became serious.

Fan Jinkui gritted his teeth, "Brother Jin! I was blinded by greed earlier, trying to pull a fast one on her! To be honest with you! I only had money to buy medicine a few days ago thanks to this sister here. I was indeed trying to scam her to pay my debt, but in reality, she truly has nothing to do with me."

At worst, I’ll be a hero again in eighteen years.

A woman looking down on me, I’d rather be dead.

Mostly Fan Jinkui still had a bit of conscience left.

Brother Jin’s smile faded, as if the person who was just smiling like a Maitreya Buddha wasn’t him.

"Sister, is what he said true, you better not tell me. If he’s telling the truth! If he is, and you have nothing to do with him. Then I’ll immediately take off one of his arms on the spot.

Don’t worry, I’ll leave his right hand; he can still work for me, earn money, and pay off the debt."

He carefully examined Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Weighing whether their words were true or false.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled faintly, "He’s telling the truth."

The crowd was in an uproar.

Fan Jinkui closed his eyes, dropping to his knees with a thud, as if this sentence had sentenced him to death.

He had hoped that for the sake of his honesty, this young lady would take pity and save him. But it seemed his intentions didn’t escape her.

This time, it’s completely over.

"Take off his arm for me."

Brother Jin wasn’t joking. He could tell from the girl’s calm expression.

This girl really had nothing to do with Fan Jinkui.

Since that’s the case, he couldn’t go back on his word, come what may. Today, he’d have to remove Fan Jinkui’s arm.

Otherwise, who would believe Brother Jin’s words in the future, who’d dare not pay their debts?

This was truly a matter of reputation.

Fan Jinkui appeared ashen.

This time he’s done for.

"Wait!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s words sounded like a heavenly chime.

Fan Jinkui opened his eyes, looking at Jiang Xiaoxiao.

If she could save him this once, he’d repay her with all he had.

But considering his past, was there even a point in talking about repayment? Did he believe it himself?

"Do you have any money on you?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at the pharmacy across the way, where a trend called ’gambling on herbs’ was popular.

You couldn’t enter the Kunlun Mountain Range. Once in, no one came out.

However, the herbs from the nearby mountains of Kunlun were considered treasures of nature.

It’s said that only those skilled enough to bring them out were extraordinary individuals.

Only herb diggers had the skills required.

But the unique soil here meant many herbs grew within the mountain walls, needing to be extracted along with the rock.

This created a unique landscape in West City.

Gambling on herbs!

Fan Jinkui reached into his pocket, the other two had already emptied them; he only found fifty yuan.

Altogether, they had fifty yuan, nothing more, ignoring the small change.

Jiang Xiaoxiao took the fifty yuan.

Fan Jinkui felt his heart sink.

Giving up?

Brother Jin also looked puzzled, "Girl, what are you doing?"

Daring to take money from Fan Jinkui in front of him?

Didn’t she know Fan Jinkui was under his thumb?

"Aren’t you asking him to repay money? Now I’ve taken money from his pocket, this is his capital. Give me two hours, and I’ll ensure all his debts are paid back, principal and interest."

Jiang Xiaoxiao waved the bills in her hand.

Brother Jin couldn’t help but laugh, never having met someone so brazen.

To say to his face that in two hours she could repay all 188,000, principal and interest.

He’d seen many people: those who love to gamble, those who love to smoke, those who love to flirt.

But to earn back 188,000 in two hours using just fifty yuan?

Well, he’d have to see for himself what kind of skills this girl possessed.

"Alright! Since the sister has spoken, I have to agree. No matter what, just for the sister’s looks, Brother has to give you this face, isn’t it just two hours? I’ve been chasing him for several days, two hours won’t make a difference."

With a big hand, he patted Fan Jinkui’s shoulder, "Fan Jinkui, you’re lucky. For treating your lifesaver like this, she still wants to help you. Whether she’s truly helping or joking, she’s given you two hours of respite.

You, be a decent person. We loan sharks may seem like we’re on the brink of destruction, not worth anything. But we value loyalty a lot. People like you who treat their savior so poorly, I despise.

This girl has a kind heart. I know she’s doing it for your family’s old lady. If it weren’t for what I said earlier, she probably would’ve left already. You better wise up.

Take good care of your brother-in-law, otherwise you’d truly be letting both your brother-in-law and this sister down."

With heavy pats on his back, Fan Jinkui lowered his head.

He realized his mistake.

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t look at Fan Jinkui. She was willing to save him not out of unmeasured kindness.

Indeed, it was because she heard about the plight of Fan Jinkui’s brother-in-law and didn’t want that righteous man supporting his wife’s younger brother to be left with no one. Judging by Fan Jinkui’s age, she could guess his brother-in-law might be quite old, having to suffer the grief of losing someone younger first.

Even if Fan Jinkui didn’t die, with debt collectors coming every day, how could his brother-in-law get treatment?

Besides, Jiang Xiaoxiao was willing to save Fan Jinkui because he took on high-interest loans for the sake of the elder brother-in-law.

If not, she wouldn’t care about Fan Jinkui, especially after he treated her so ungratefully.

If she continued helping Fan Jinkui it would be like she was out of her mind.

But considering Fan Jinkui’s rare gratitude and intent to repay, she was willing to lend a hand to this person.

Perhaps doing kindness to accumulate good deeds.

Of course, Jiang Xiaoxiao willingly chose to do so.
