Chapter 497: Specially Pitfalling the Bad Guys 3
Both of their heads were buzzing now, and with their hearts set only on avoiding Prison, they naturally chose to settle privately.
"Fine, if we're settling privately, then pay up."
The two were dumbfounded.
Pay with what?
Fang Jie's husband said, "We don't have money. How about this: let my wife pay. My wife lives in this residential complex; she's a wealthy person too."
He thought quite nicely of himself, wanting to shift all the trouble onto his wife so they could slip away.
But Shi Youxuan would not let him have his way.
"Who is your wife? Tell me, there isn't a woman in this complex I don't know."
"Fang Guifang."
"Who did you say?"
Shi Youxuan said with pleasant surprise, "Is it Fang Guifang who lives in Building A? Over forty years old, this tall..."
Lao Qi pulled up a photo of Fang Jie from his phone and handed it over: "Madam, I have a photo here."
Shi Youxuan signaled for him to show it to Fang Jie's husband and son.
The two already had a bad premonition, but upon seeing the photo, they still nodded: "Yes, it's her."
"Alright, so you're a family? It just so happens I've been looking for her family and couldn't find them, and you two have delivered yourselves to my doorstep."
Shi Youxuan said to Fang Jie's husband, "Fang Guifang is my family's nanny. Yesterday, she smashed Ayuan Dynasty Blue and White Porcelain of mine, then disappeared in the middle of the night, and her phone won't go through. You are her husband, so you have to pay for this!"
"There was no one to even buy groceries at my house today, forcing me, with my big belly, to go out and buy them, and I just happened to run into you. Isn't this a coincidence..." Shi Youxuan smiled with her eyes curved like crescent moons.
Fang Jie's husband tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice.
He hadn't expected that just by "mistaking the person," he would stir up such big trouble.
Asking Fang Jie for money was fine, but he was unwilling to help her clean up her mess.
It wasn't just him who was unwilling; the son wasn't willing either.
"If she broke the vase, go find her. I don't care. I came here this time just to divorce her. We've been separated for so many years that we haven't had any marital affection for a long time. Her affairs have nothing to do with me."
"I don't care either. My mother hasn't looked after me since I was little, so why should I look after her? I don't care, I don't care."
The father and son pushed all responsibility away, neither of them caring.
"You have to care. For so many years, the money Fang Guifang earned was all mailed home. She fulfilled her responsibilities to you, and you want to care about nothing? How can there be such a cheap deal?"
Shi Youxuan exposed the two's lies and even made the father and son spit out the money.
The money had long been squandered; how could they spit it out?
The two were now penniless wretches.
They had no money, and they were the type who wouldn't want to lose their lives either.
The father and son were at a dead end and began to blame each other!
The older one blamed the younger one for not learning to be good, saying he shouldn't have been light-fingered and stolen someone's necklace yesterday. Now it was great, they could just wait to sit in Prison until the bottom of the cell wore through.
The younger one retorted, saying that if he hadn't learned to be good, wasn't it all because he learned it from him?
You didn't teach me anything good since I was small either, so what do we do now?
Do you really want me to spend my whole life in Prison?
I don't want to, I don't want to.
I'm still young, I don't want my whole life ruined like this...
Even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs.
Don't look at how heartless this man is to his wife, he couldn't bear to be that way to his son.
After the complaining, he actually begged Shi Youxuan to take full responsibility for this matter and let his son go!
Shi Youxuan naturally disagreed and asked, "Why? The items were stolen by both of you, so of course both of you must bear it. Besides, Fang Guifang is his mother, so he has an obligation to clean up Fang Guifang's mess."
The rogue father and son had finally run into a tough nut to crack.
They couldn't talk their way out, couldn't fight their way out, couldn't run away, and couldn't hide.
They were forced into a dead end, trapped in a corner.
Seeing the timing was ripe, Shi Youxuan proposed a method: "I have a way to keep you two from going to Prison, it just depends on whether you are willing or not."
"We're willing, we're willing."
"What method? Please tell us, we are willing."
The father and son nodded like chicks pecking at rice, both expressing their willingness.
Shi Youxuan saying she had a way at this moment felt just like giving a lifebuoy to someone about to drown.
Shi Youxuan gave Lao Qi a wink.
So, in front of the two, he called Wang Yong to ask if they were still short of people over there.
L Country and R Country were right next to each other, and with the downfall of Zhu Yiwen and the Pirates, their islands had also been reclaimed by the state.
Sheng Hanyu gave Wang Yong a tip.
He told him to buy those two islands; with a little development, they could be of great use!
Wang Yong was now the richest man in L Country, and he had reached this position entirely through Sheng Hanyu's support.
He followed Sheng Hanyu's ideas implicitly and immediately bought both islands.
The locals were superstitious, and because the previous owners of the two islands had met such bad ends, no one competed with Wang Yong, and he bought them for a very low price.
Once bought, he began construction according to the blueprints Sheng Hanyu provided. Developing the islands required a large number of workers, and he was currently severely short of people.
In fact, Lao Qi and Wang Yong had already communicated about this in the morning and had it all planned out.
Wang Yong's loud voice came from the other end of the phone: "We aren't short of people anymore. We pay our workers very high wages here, the benefits are good, and workers are breaking their heads trying to get here."
Lao Qi: "Our Madam wants to send two people over. These two owe our Madam money; if we don't let them work to pay off the debt, I'm afraid they won't be able to pay back our Madam's money in this lifetime."
Wang Yong readily agreed: "Fine, whatever Sister-in-law says about arranging people to come in, it's guaranteed to work. I'll fax the contract to you; you and they can take a look, and if there are no objections, sign the contract and fly over."
……
The fax arrived very quickly.
The employment contract was absolutely formal, and the compensation was indeed generous.
The salary was five times that of working domestically, and it also included accident insurance and domestic pension insurance.
Such a good thing suddenly landing on them, the father and son both found it hard to believe it was real.
But it was indeed real; the terms on the contract were all real!
It was just that the work on the Island was very hard, a point Shi Youxuan did not mention.
The work on the island was not a bit less intense than the labor of convicts in Prison, and the effect was the same—there was no running away.
Surrounded by the sea on all sides, there was nowhere to run.
For many years, this father and son had been lazy and idle, clinging to Fang Jie like parasites to suck her blood; it was time to give them a lesson.
The two signed the contract readily, Shi Youxuan had Lao Qi take them to the airport, and then she turned back—the first step of the plan, success!
Just as she opened the door, her mother-in-law and Fang Jie hurried over to help her take her coat and pull over the cart.
Fang Jie handed her a glass of water: "Madam, you've worked hard, have a glass of water."
Mother-in-law: "How was it? They didn't hit you, did they?" She was mainly worried about the baby in Shi Youxuan's belly.
She was about to give birth and still "charging into battle"; Wang Yinghao's heart had been hanging in the air ever since she left the house.
Shi Youxuan took the glass and drank it in one gulp: "More."
The weather outside was very hot, and in order to look more like Fang Jie, she was wearing a bit too much; plus, she had talked too much just now, so she was very thirsty.
After another glass of water went down, she felt a bit better.
Shi Youxuan touched her round belly, just about to tell her mother-in-law that she was fine, as she clearly looked fine.
But the words reached her lips and she swallowed them back, deciding to be mischievous.
"I'm going to change my clothes, ouch, my back is aching!"
Shi Youxuan held her waist and walked slowly toward the bedroom.
Wang Yinghao became even more worried, following by her daughter-in-law's side, asking her repeatedly if she had been injured.
