Perhaps the disturbing of the earth did activate some of the negatives that followed. However, there's no object of charm in Feng Shui that you can purchase. Pei Yao is nothing more than just a figurine. You are better of saving your money.
When it comes to Feng Shui, you need to find out where are the positve Qi in your house and activate them accordingly. That's how you can overcome the present negative setback. And plus, it would be good to check your BaZi (Destiny Code) to find out what you can do to improve your financial standing. There must be something you can do, or do better than can generate more wealth.
Mary, Destiny is in your hands. You make decisions, based on your Destiny's capacity and create the best life for youself. So don't let these small setbacks put you down. Look into your charts and find the best action plan to pursue.
All the best - JY
