248 Give me the money.

" Wh...What? Five hundred what?" After seeing what he saw, it was a miracle that Fu Yu Shen was even able to make some noise at all. He stared at Song Yan as if she was a ghost, his eyes wide and mouth agape. " What...What do you mean by I owe you money?"

Song Yan raised a brow and then looked over her shoulder before pointing at the pile of ashes that was resting on the pavement and smiled. " You see that? That was a ghost and you," she turned her finger at Fu Yu Shen as she pivoted on the spot. " were the victim, if not for me you would have lost your eyes and would have been left on the pavement to die, so be grateful and take out the money."

She motioned Fu Yu Shen to hand over the money but the latter simply stared at her and said, " I..Isn't it a matter of helping those in need?"

Placing a hand on her waist, Song Yan stared at him with a smile. " Do you think that I am good enough of a person to help you out and even if I was…." She crouched down and stared at him. " Do you think that you are good enough of a person to be helped? Have you forgotten what you have done to me and my son?" She tilted her head and rudely scoffed. " Be glad that I was being nice enough to save your life or you would have become tomorrow's headlines, with a picture of your head with ripped eyes,  you hear me? So, you get to pay me the money before I wrench your eyes out myself!"

Fu Yu Shen stared at Song Yan and then at the ring on her finger and knew that she wasn't kidding if he refused, she might really rip his eyes out of his sockets. A bit flustered and embarrassed, he licked his front teeth and very painfully said, " If I could I would have paid you but I just got kicked out of my house, I can't … I don't have much money on me."

For two minutes neither of them spoke anything before Song Yan cursed out loud. " Not much money? Then why did I save you for? If you are not going to pay, who is going to pay me for my hard work? Do you know how much energy I had to use up to take care of that soul and now you are saying that you don't have enough money? Are you kidding me?"

Fu Yu Shen said nothing and kept his head lowered for the first time in his life he felt like he was being humiliated and that too for something as small as money!

No, this won't do. He needs to get his self-respect back somehow! If he kept on getting insulted by Song Yan like this, he will never be able to raise his head in front of her.

Clearing his throat, he looked at Song Yan and very calmly said, " I might not have money at the moment but sooner or later I will pay back. Don't worry I am not one to take the money and run off somewhere you see?"

" When?"

" When what?"

" Till when do I have to wait for you to pay me back?" asked Song Yan staring at Fu Yu Shen with impatience. " You said that you were kicked out of the house right? So, how long it's going to take for you to go back home and pay me?"

This time Fu Yu Shen had no answer he just stared at Song Yan without saying anything and the latter scoffed. " I should have just left you to die," she pushed herself off the ground and stood up straight. Before peering down at Fu Yu Shen contemptuously, " So how much money do you have at the moment?"

" At...At the moment, I only have …this five hundred yuan," he said as he fished the money from his pocket and looked at Song Yan with an awkward smile. " But this is my food money, if I give it to you, I will have to starve for a week or so before I can think of a solution to my predicament."

Song Yan stared at the five hundred yuan and titled her head as if she was thinking about something before, stretching her hand and grasping the bills in Fu Yu Shen's hand and saying, " For now, I will use this money, you can pay me the rest of the money later on."

" Bu...But this is my food mo..money!" seeing that Song Yan was really taking the money out of his hands, Fu Yu Shen suddenly felt like she was simply a cold-blooded monster. He just told her that he didn't have money in his pocket and yet she was actually doing something like taking the last of his money out of his hands, wasn't she simply heartless for doing something so cruel?

" So, what I am supposed to do?" said Song Yan with a cold face. " I saved your life, this is my money now… if you are going to starve, then you might as well starve, why do I care what happens to you?"

" But …But I am your brother-in-law!" When he saw that the bills were almost wrenched out of his hands, Fu Yu Shen couldn't help but shout.

" Heh, so you do remember what our relationship is," Song Yan's lips curled up before she tugged the money in Fu Yu Shen's hand. " I thought you might have forgotten. Do you remember that there was one time when I had a really bad fever and Chen Chen begged you to give him some two hundred yuan to get fever medicine, do you know what you said?"

Fu Yu Shen sucked in a breath.

Song Yan leaned down and smiled coldly. " You said—— so what if she is going to die? This is my money, I don't care whether or not she dies. It's my money I can use it as I want."
