The world begins with shameless people

Chapter 96 Fiona’s journey of collapse

Fiona cried for a long time, fell asleep crying, and now she woke up.

When I opened my eyes, my eyes hurt a little. I reached out and touched them, and they were swollen.

Fiona smiled bitterly and shook her head. Thinking of what happened before, she looked at the place next to her where Steve had been lying, feeling dazed for a while.

For a while.

Fiona raised her hand and wiped her eyes hard, got up, and life continued.

Unfortunately, it is not easy to continue life.

Because she had to work at Xiu'er Chinese Restaurant, she quit all her part-time jobs and took a break for a few days. Although she later started working part-time again, it was either one thing or another that caused her to... Not only didn’t I actually work for long, but I also lost my part-time job…

In short, when the time came to this day, she had already empty pockets, ran out of ammunition and food, and only had a few coins on her body.

However, many of the Gallagher family's daily necessities and food were also empty...

She must go shopping today, otherwise life will not be possible at all.

Faced with this cruel fact, Fiona felt extremely collapsed and had to take a few deep breaths to force herself to cheer up.

Not long after.

Fiona found cigarettes, lit one, and followed them to the bottom of the stairs.

The things they stole from Roberta's house at night were all hidden here.

She needs to sell some to get some money for shopping.

Frank was drinking and watching TV. He glanced at Fiona and said casually, "Don't go to those recycling stores. Go to Ogg. He won't ask any questions."

Fiona knew who Ogg was and was too lazy to pay attention to Frank. She picked a few things by herself, then put on her coat and prepared to go out.

"Hey, it's already noon, bring me something to eat, I'm starving!" Frank shouted immediately when he saw this.

After all, Fiona couldn't bear it anymore. She stopped and replied, "There is nothing at home. Wait until I come back."

"Hurry up," Frank urged.

Fiona didn't want to reply, so she went out, took a deep breath, and walked to the commercial street.

Passing by Veronica's house, Fiona slowed down a little and took a look.

At Veronica's house, the doors and windows were closed, and there was no movement inside.

It wasn't like this before...

In the past, Veronica was at home most of the time, and she could go to her at any time. When faced with a situation like today when she was running out of food and ammunition, she could also borrow some money for emergencies...

Now, everything has changed.

Kevin has become the boss of Alaibo and has a serious business. He will soon renovate Alaiba and get on the right track...

Veronica earns hundreds of dollars a day at Xiu'er Chinese Restaurant, doesn't have to spend money on two meals, and has a lot of free time...

Take another look at yourself.

There is no change at all, it can't even be called standing still, but it is retreating.

How sad.

Fiona smiled bitterly, sniffed hard, looked away, and then walked forward.

Arrive at the commercial street.

Fiona first passed by Aleb Bar, then saw the sign of Xiuer Chinese Restaurant, changed her direction, and chose to cross the road and walk from the opposite side.

But even so, when she walked across from Xiu'er Chinese Restaurant, Fiona subconsciously stopped and looked into the restaurant.

In the restaurant, the scene of Ding Xiu, Kevin, Veronica, and Carol sitting at a dining table, talking and laughing while eating fruit, came into view...

Looks very happy.

Immediately, Fiona felt very disappointed. Her mood, which was already at the bottom of the valley, directly broke through the bottom of the valley, and she fell even further.

After about half a minute, Fiona didn't dare to look anymore and gritted her teeth and moved forward.

Go to the corner.

It had begun to take shape, and it could easily be seen as the front room of a fruit shop, and it came into Fiona's field of vision.

When Fiona saw it, she immediately thought of what Kevin said that morning, so she took a closer look.

Svetlana, who was busy in the front room, was obviously Russian.

So, sure.

That was the fruit shop that Ding Xiu invested and was about to open. The Russian woman was the lucky one who got lucky and ended the hard life easily.

"fxxk!"

Looking at Svetlana across the road, Fiona still couldn't hold back and cursed fiercely.

After scolding, Fiona raised her feet forward, her steps becoming much heavier.

About five minutes later.

Fiona pushed the door open and walked into a pawn shop. When she got to the counter, she took something out of her pocket and put it on the counter. "Help me see how much these things can sell for."

The pawn shop owner looked Fiona up and down first, then looked at the things on the counter. Without replying, he asked, "Do you have a receipt?"

Fiona shook her head, "Lost it."

The pawn shop owner smiled lightly.

In a place like the South District, pawning something with a receipt and without a receipt are two completely different things.

Without a receipt, it will be considered stolen goods.

Of course, the boss still charges it, but the price is...

"Okay, let me take a look first," the pawn shop owner then took action and looked carefully at what Fiona brought.

I studied it for almost ten minutes.

"One hundred and twenty dollars," the pawn shop owner quoted the price.

This price is about one-tenth of the actual value of those things.

Fiona couldn't accept it when she heard it, "Boss, these things must be worth at least a thousand US dollars! Your price is too low."

The pawn shop owner grinned, "You don't have a receipt, one hundred and twenty dollars."

Fiona was so aggrieved that she wanted to cry, so she bit the bullet and tried to get more.

Unfortunately, the pawn shop owner was stuck with $120 and refused to raise a penny.

Change one?

Fiona has lived here for more than 20 years, so knowing this pawn shop is considered a kind thing.

finally.

no way.

Fiona chose to accept it and walked out of the pawn shop with one hundred and twenty dollars.

As soon as I left the house.

In the cold wind.

Tears welled up in Fiona's eyes.

-

Hospital, ward.

Monica was crying loudly, her tears flowing uncontrollably.

Roberta is dead, just dead...

Monica was so heartbroken that she couldn't get that scene out of her mind.

Tony and his partner, who came here not long ago and wanted to ask questions, looked at this scene and felt really helpless.

"Don't cry yet," Tony's partner said impatiently after waiting for a while, "Have you seen the murderer?"

Monica couldn't stop and nodded with tears in her eyes, "I see..."

"Then do you know the murderer?" Tony's partner asked again.

"I don't know..." Monica cried back.

"Then give us a description of the murderer," Tony's partner said.

Monica tried to think about it, but she was dumbfounded and had no impression at all, "I, I can't remember at all, what happened, how could I not remember..."

Hear the words.

Tony and his partner looked at each other with little surprise on their faces.

why?

Because, this morning, the two of them had heard this kind of words many times.

No matter who I ask, they can't remember.

A weird mess.
