Mr. Lin looked at Hang Lixing with a serious look, which made Hang Lixing feel a little uneasy.
Even he is like this, not to mention the four followers behind Hang Lixing.
He was already trembling with fear and his face was full of anxiety.
"Later, for some unknown reason, the beggar found me again. He said he hadn't seen it clearly at the time and thought it was just an ordinary purse, not realizing the jade inside was so valuable. He wanted to return it. I saw that he was a decent person, so I gave him a hundred taels of silver and didn't want the jade back. The beggar said that in his entire life, no one had ever been so kind to him. If he was lucky enough to have a son who could carry on the family line, he would definitely pass on the jade as a token of his gratitude."
"I believe that even if that child is destined to have a rough life, he will never violate integrity." Mr. Lin said again.
After Mr. Lin finished speaking, Xiao Cunyu also thought of the beggar at that time.
The beggar had a handsome appearance, but a very ugly face.
Born with both parents dead, without relatives or friends, leaving no wealth or friends, destined to suffer many disasters...
You cannot have both wealth and longevity.
She saw it when she just sneaked into the houseboat. Thinking that the other party was just doing it for the sake of stuttering, she ignored it and even asked the people on the houseboat to take care of him secretly.
That fate is really hard to change.
She was unable to take care of herself at the time and didn't have many days left to live, so she didn't take the initiative to change his fate.
Moreover, she has met so many people, especially those who have come out of the disaster area, and few of them have good fates. She does not have the ability to change every fate she meets.
Even that ordinary fate, after seeing it so many times, has become numb.
After Mr. Lin finished speaking, Hang Lixing broke out in a cold sweat.
"I heard from my clansmen that we gave the other party a lot of money. Maybe..." Hang Lixing's voice sounded a little anxious.
"You mean, because the benefits were so great, that beggar was willing to give up his promise to me?" Mr. Lin's voice was filled with vicissitudes of life. "You're being clever. I did say it was a pity to have the jade, but I was never referring to just a piece of jade. Your family members, ignorant of the truth, made wild guesses about my intentions and even snatched the jade away and presented it to me, making me look like a fickle person. Do you think I'll thank you for returning the jade?"
Hang Lixing's legs and feet became weak.
What else is there to not understand?
As a dignified Mr. Lin, once something is given away, it is impossible to take it back!
But now he got it back and placed it in front of Lin Gong, which was simply... humiliating himself!
He thought Lin Gong would thank him, but...
In fact, not only would he not be grateful, he would even be very angry!
"It's all because I'm stupid and self-righteous. I also believed what my clan members said, so... I made a big mistake. Don't worry, Mr. Lin. I will have someone return the jade as soon as I go back!" Hang Lixing reacted quickly.
"It's no longer necessary." Mr. Lin said lightly.
Hang Lixing immediately looked up, somewhat puzzled.
"This jade has been in your hands for quite some time. Over a month ago, I received a letter from a friend saying that the beggar who had obtained my jade in Yuzhou was suddenly taken away to buy a house and land. He seemed to be living a wealthy life for a few days, but not long after, he committed suicide by jumping into a lake."
As soon as Mr. Lin finished speaking, Xiao Cunyu's eyes widened in shock.
"Dead?" Xiao Cunyu asked bluntly.
"That's right. I also know that this disaster is most likely caused by this piece of jade. I have been feeling uneasy about it." Mr. Lin sighed.
Now that he is old, he can see clearly that things in the world are impermanent.
But I still feel uncomfortable when I think of that beggar.
