Chapter 9 IOU



Ye Ning looked nervous and expectant, staring intently at Xinghe, not wanting to miss any of her reactions.

Sheng Xiuwen tensed up, eagerly awaiting Xinghe's reply.

Xinghe said, "I'll take the card, but forget about the yacht, helicopter, and shares."

Ye Ning became even more nervous, "Why? Doesn't my sister like it?"

"It's too expensive," Xinghe said with a pained expression.

Large tears welled up in Ye Ning's beautiful cat-like eyes. "My sister is the precious child I've been waiting for all this time. You deserve the best of everything, even just an ordinary cruise ship and helicopter."

"The thought that while we spent hundreds of millions to buy these things, my sister was eating meager rations in the mountains breaks my heart."

Ye Ning is very beautiful, like a white rose blooming in the sunlight, beautiful and gorgeous. When she cried like that, Xinghe felt that he had done something wrong.

She was a little unsure of what to do with her hands and feet.

Xinghe retorted softly, "I haven't been eating coarse grains and wild vegetables all the time."

Although the old man was poor, he had a sweet tooth and ate a lot, so all his money went to the two of them. Later, when Xinghe learned to cook, life got even better.

She didn't feel that she was suffering much.

Ye Ning choked up, her eyes and nose red and swollen, "I saw it all, the Taoist temple where my sister lives doesn't even have a door."

She also has a photo on her phone taken by someone down the mountain.

At that time, Xinghe, who was only five years old, was wearing a big gray Taoist robe with the sleeves and pants rolled up. She carried a basket as tall as herself on her back and went down the mountain with the abbot to buy vegetables.

Her thin face was full of curiosity as she stared at the barbecue stall from afar, swallowing hard.

When Ye Ning found out these things, she cried all night while holding the photos. The medical equipment alarmed again, and she was sent to the emergency room once more.

When she was pregnant with Xinghe, she had a strong premonition that this child would definitely be a girl. Before the baby was born, she prepared countless little dresses, selected the best-tasting formula, and all the toys were purchased and sterilized in advance.

She had fantasized countless times that once her younger sister was born, she would spoil her and make her the happiest little princess in the world.

She carried her baby for ten months with great difficulty and gave birth to her younger sister with high hopes, but how come she has been eating chaff and wild vegetables in the mountains for more than ten years?

Sheng Xiuwen also held back his tears. In front of his daughter, he had to be a strong support and couldn't shed tears in front of her.

Seeing that Ye Ning was about to cry again, Xinghe changed the subject, "Which hospital are you in? I have something I want to give you."

Ye Ning's eyes lit up. "Did my sister prepare a gift for us? I'm so happy!"

She wiped away her tears and quickly sent the address to Xinghe's phone, unable to suppress the smile on her face. "International express delivery is very slow. We'll come back after the surgery, or you can have my sister give it to us herself when we get back."

Xinghe said, "It will be soon. It's a talisman I drew myself. I'll put it in my bag during the surgery to ensure you have a smooth operation."

"Good, good, good, my little sister is so good." Ye Ning's tearful little cat eyes curved into crescents, and color returned to her pale face.

"It's getting late over there, you should get some rest."

Xinghe wanted to hang up the phone, but Sheng Xiuwen, who had been silent all night, finally spoke up somewhat dryly, "If those brats treat you badly, just beat them up. Don't worry about us."

Xinghe's eyes lit up. "Okay, you said it yourself."

"Yes, it's Dad—I said, beat him however you want."

Xinghe hung up the phone, completely satisfied.

She transferred the money in her card in two separate transactions.

The Taoist temple was originally only planned to be renovated, but now it has to be completely rebuilt. Rebuilding is good too, in addition to the statue of the patriarch, we can also make one for the old man so that he can receive more incense offerings.

As for the welfare home, there have been more and more children in the past two years, so it's definitely time to build a few more rooms. The salaries of the teachers who take care of the children should also be increased.

If you calculate it this way, not only did five million disappear, but Xinghe also lost some money.

This made her already impoverished family even worse off.

Xinghe is like a wilted eggplant, all droopy and lifeless.

Feeling somewhat guilty for accepting five million from Sheng Xiuwen and Ye Ning for no reason, Xinghe simply allocated a portion from his own merit points to the couple.

A small wisp of merit is enough for a person to live a peaceful and smooth life, and to be reincarnated sooner, so that the next life won't be too bad.

Xinghe counted on her fingers, "The merits should be saved for the old man's reincarnation, the Golden Boy and Jade Maiden should also cultivate into human form, and there's still the huge mess left by the Zhengyi Sect..."

By this calculation, Xinghe not only lacks money, but also merit.

That's really tragic news.

She reached out and grabbed the golden boy who was eating on her shoulder, and, to his bewildered look, ruffled his hair from head to toe.

The boy's eyes lit up. "What's wrong, sister?"

Xinghe's mood improved. "I've been here for a few days, but I haven't seen this land yet."

She tapped her foot on the ground, "This land, from the netherworld to the underworld, now appears."

A puff of white smoke rose, and a one-meter-tall old man with a dark face appeared.

"Who is calling upon me, the Earth God?"

After recognizing the person, the Earth God immediately performed a demonstration of what it means for ice and snow to melt and for spring to bloom, his face beaming with joy. "Fairy, it's such a wonderful coincidence to meet you here."

Xinghe was also surprised, "It's you. You've been promoted from Pingzhou to the capital?"

Pingzhou is the place where Xinghe used to live, so Xinghe and this land are old acquaintances.

"Isn't this all thanks to the fairy? I was thinking of leaving and never seeing the fairy again, but I never expected to run into her here. If the fairy has any instructions, I will do my best to help her, even if it means going through fire and water."

The young woman pouted. "Old man, you're so obsequious. You weren't like this when we first met."

The landowner wasn't annoyed at all, and just smiled and said, "I was young and ignorant back then."

He was young and hot-blooded back then, and he didn't respect this little Taoist nun. But what happened later taught him a lesson. She's no simple woman; even the Ten Kings of Hell are nothing in front of her.

The landowner was particularly opportunistic, and his smile was incredibly obsequious.

Xinghe didn't hesitate and handed two luck-changing talismans to the Earth God, saying, "Please deliver them to this address for me."

"Okay, I'll handle it, don't worry."

After he saw the address on his phone, he was stunned. "Fairy, it's not that I don't want to go, but this overseas address is beyond my scope."

It's alright domestically, but overseas is outside their jurisdiction.

Xinghe said, "I will pave a path for you, so you can go and come back soon."

Xinghe can only open up underground paths, which are gloomy and eerie. She'll study the paths above ground when she has time.

The land's eyes lit up even more. "Fairy, you... you can even manage things overseas?"

"It's just borrowing a path."
