"All these are things that he should be giving me! With these gold and silver jewelry, we can exchange them for money. We can help to pay the medical expenses for the grandmother next door and we can buy medications for our mother. Otherwise, we will not have any money to compensate them! They will report us, and then capture Mom and send her to a psychiatric hospital!"
Malvolio instantly stopped in his tracks. His sister was right. After he thought it over, he took out a women's watch, turned around and handed it to the family of the grandmother next door. "Is this enough?"
He had always been living in poverty, so he had no idea that that kind of watch was worth more than three hundred thousand dollars. The other party was surprised once they took a look at it. "Lira, it was your father who had given it to you, right?"
Lira was stunned for a moment. After that, she immediately regained her calmness and nodded. "Mm-hmm."
"Alright, alright! Just this watch will do! We're even from now on. We'll not come looking for you anymore. " The grandmother next door's family seemed to be quite easy to talk to.
Lira and Malvolio immediately realized that the gold and silver jewelry that Lira had brought back from the
Stevens family's house would certainly be worth quite a hefty sum. Both of them felt extremely excited. That night, the family of three sat on the bed and looked through all the jewelry piece by piece. When she saw a nice one, Eira would even hold it in front of her mother's neck to try it on.
"Mom, you're very pretty. Look how beautiful you look wearing this necklace."
