Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1247: Chapter 1246: Neither Human nor Ghost.

”How can I not take it? I said before that I gave it to her, but she refused, insisting she was only holding it for me. Now I don’t need her to hold onto it anymore, and I want to take back what’s mine. What’s wrong with that?” Li Junping argued with conviction.

”Enough with your excuses. Originally, you did intend to give it to An Hao. At the time, it helped you solve a problem, and you were so grateful that you wanted to win her over and you gave away the bracelet. And now you’re having second thoughts? I want to ask you, what do you need that bracelet back for?” Qin Ru Hai looked at her and said.

”Of course it’s to sell for money. Isn’t it to pay for Qin Fen’s medical treatment? This is important, isn’t it?” Li Junping remembered that when her mother-in-law handed the bracelet over to her, she had said that it shouldn’t be sold.

It was to be passed down from generation to generation.

It could only be sold if the Qin Family encountered a life-or-death crisis.

Now, with Qin Fen incapacitated and unable to continue the family line, if the Qin Family’s lineage were to end, there would be no one to carry it on.

Without anyone to carry on, the Qin Family would cease to exist. If the Qin Family ceased to exist, wouldn’t that qualify as a life-or-death crisis?

”How much money could that bracelet fetch anyway? Didn’t the old lady say? Relying solely on this bracelet for living expenses would lead to starvation later on. It’s clear that the bracelet can’t be worth much.” Qin Ru Hai didn’t understand either; the old lady hadn’t told him much more.

She had only told him to pass the bracelet down if possible, to try not to sell it.

So no matter how hard life or the circumstances became, he had never thought of selling the bracelet.

”The old lady was fooling you,” Li Junping had always wanted to get the bracelet back. She had secretly inquired about its value and asked a few people here and there, who said that if it had been passed down for several generations, then the bracelet must be authentic and surely worth a considerable amount of money.

”Could it be? The old lady could fool me?”

”Why not? The old lady is very cunning. When I first married into your family, she didn’t go easy on me,” Li Junping recalled, her teeth itching with hatred, ”I’m telling you, your mother is definitely no simple character. That’s why I’m certain the bracelet is valuable. Otherwise, why would An Hao refuse to hand it over? I bet she’s already had it appraised.”

”So, you want to get it back from her?” Qin Ru Hai was utterly against the idea, ”One must be honorable! Once you’ve given the bracelet, it’s given. You absolutely cannot ask for it back.”

”Don’t give me that! How much did I spend on her back then? If I get the bracelet back and sell it, I can just give her the money,” she said.

”But if the bracelet isn’t as valuable as you think, do you plan to not give her any money?” Qin Ru Hai knew his wife all too well; no wonder An Hao kept the bracelet so tightly.

”Drop it, you don’t need to worry about this.” Li Junping had made up her mind, she would get that bracelet back no matter what.

She had to seek treatment for Qin Fen and couldn’t let her son be the end of the line.

Qin Ru Hai knew his wife would not be content, so he laid down his ultimatum, ”You absolutely must not ask for the bracelet back; if you dare create a scene, I will definitely not go easy on you when I return.”

Li Junping didn’t take Qin Ru Hai’s words seriously, ”How could you not go easy on me? Do you really dare to break my leg?”

”Then go ahead and try,” Qin Ru Hai was resolute. If Li Junping dared to ask for the bracelet, dared to cause trouble, he would break one of her legs. Without a lesson, she would never understand the gravity of her actions.
