Xu Wenwu nodded lightly, and a group of people followed the mother and son. Jinma Ergou also followed with his men, but his expression was not very good.
Jin Wansheng opened the door at the gate of a house and walked in with Qibao and others.
The house is not very big, with only two entrances, but it is more than enough for a family to live on the third floor.
"Wansheng, I'm going to get the land deed. You take good care of Mr. and Miss Xu." Mother Jin said with some sadness.
Looking at his mother's hunched back, Jin Wansheng felt his throat blocked and slapped himself hard several times. In an instant, finger marks became clearly visible.
"Young Master Jin, why do you have to be like this? The matter is done. Why not keep looking forward and learn from your mistakes? Maybe after Young Master Jin survives this disaster, his life will be prosperous in the future." Xu Wenwu couldn't help but comfort him.
"Mr. Xu, the Jin family has fallen on hard times because of my family's decline, and they can only go with the flow. I only hope that I can confess my filial piety to my parents in the future, and that will satisfy me." Jin Wansheng said with tears and laughter.
"You bastard! Still thinking about committing suicide? What a coward! How could I, Jin Huaishan, give birth to such a scoundrel like you? Ahem!"
At this time, a hoarse and weak voice sounded. Everyone looked over and saw Jin Mu supporting a middle-aged man and walking slowly in.
"Dad! I am an unfilial son and deserve to die! I have destroyed your life's work. How can I have the face to see you two again!" Jin Wansheng knelt on the ground, his voice extremely sad.
"If your mother hadn't stopped you, would you have really decided to die like this? Ah?" Jin Huaishan pointed at Jin Wansheng who was kneeling on the ground with trembling fingers, and said with a look of regret.
Perhaps because he was weak and emotionally excited, after he shouted these words, his face flushed and he started coughing continuously.
"Dad! How are you? Why did you get up from the bed? If anything happens to you again, your son will be blamed even if he dies a thousand times." Jin Wansheng got up from the ground, and he and his mother supported their father on the left and right to sit on the chair, and poured a cup of warm water to his mouth.
Jin Huaishan drank some water and his breathing gradually became lighter. When his breathing became steady, he turned his attention to Qibao and the others.
"Are you all here to buy a house? My wife has already told me about this. This is the title deed to my shop." Jin Huaishan took out a slightly yellowed piece of paper from his arms with trembling hands.
A look of reluctance and heartache flashed across his face. He sighed heavily and handed the deed to Xu Wenwu.
Xu Wenwu sighed inwardly, took the deed and looked at it. After confirming that it was correct, Qibao placed the banknote on the table.
"Please rest assured, Boss Jin. Although we plan to use this shop to do food business, we will definitely not disgrace it and will definitely make full use of its functions." Qibao said with a hint of comfort.
She somewhat understood Jin Huaishan's feelings. Something that he had guarded for his entire life was gone just like that. How could he not be heartbroken?
"Miss, please don't call me Boss Jin. Now that this shop is gone, I'm just an ordinary person. I just hope to live the rest of my life in peace and stability, and I'll be content with that." Jin Huaishan waved his hands and said with tears and laughter.
"Dad, I am an unfilial child!"
Seeing his father like this, Jin Wansheng felt as if his heart was being cut out. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jin Huaishan repeatedly. There was even a trace of blood on his previously swollen forehead.
When Jin Huaishan saw this, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes. After all, this was his only son.
"Forget it. Even if you kill yourself, the situation cannot be reversed. Return the silver, and our family will be over this difficult time." Jin Huaishan said.
"Jin Wansheng, your father has spoken, so don't delay any longer. Your uncle Ma and I have other things to do. Hurry up, or you won't be able to bear the consequences." Ma Ergou snorted coldly.
For people like him, this kind of scene has been seen many times. There are many people whose families are ruined and even killed because of gambling. Therefore, when he saw this kind of scene, he did not feel any emotional fluctuation.
No matter how much Jin Wansheng hated someone, what could he do? It was all because of him that he had created this irreversible situation.
There was no point saying anything now. He couldn't do anything to Ma Ergou, so he could only redeem the IOU in grief and anger.
After Ma Ergou got the banknote, he said, "You're lucky, let's go." After saying that, he glanced at the Xu family and left with his men.
Looking at the IOU in his hand, Jin Wansheng squeezed his fingers hard, wishing he could crush the thing that had made him lose everything into pieces. He knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
In the end, Jin's mother couldn't bear it anymore, so she went forward, hugged Jin Wansheng's head, and burst into tears.
"Mr. Jin, cheer up. Your parents can only rely on you from now on." Uncle Xu said with helpless sympathy.
Qibao and the others didn't want to stay any longer, so they decided to say goodbye and leave.
"Master Jin, we won't bother you any longer. Take care." Xu Wenwu clasped his fists towards Jin Huaishan and was about to leave...
"Mr. Xu, wait a minute!" Jin Huaishan said quickly.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Xu family stopped in confusion.
"Mr. Xu, I have an unwelcome request. I hope you will listen to me. Whether you agree or not, I will be grateful for your kindness." Jin Huaishan said.
Jin Huaishan knew in his heart that although his family's shop had supported countless generations of the Jin family's ancestors and was a priceless treasure to him, for Mr. Xu, he had already paid a price higher than the market price to buy his family's shop. This was undoubtedly because he had put in the extra money to help the Jin family.
Xu Wenwu asked, "Boss Jin, what is your unwelcome request?"
Jin Huaishan said, "Mr. Xu has seen what happened at home, and I'm sorry you laughed at me. But now that things have come to this, I can't change anything. I also have an inseparable bond with this shop. If you don't mind, after I recover from my illness, please accept me as your shopkeeper. When you open your shop in the future, could I ask for a job as the shopkeeper?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Wenwu exchanged glances with Qibao.
When the mother and son of the Jin family heard their boss Jin say this, they all looked at him in a daze and stopped crying for a while.
"Dad, you..."
Boss Jin glanced at his son without saying anything. He turned to look at Xu Wenwu, waiting for a reply.
At this time, Qibao said, "Is there any reason for me to use you?"
Upon hearing this, Boss Jin fixed his gaze on the little girl who hadn't spoken since she came in, and couldn't help but secretly admire her in his heart.
Just the tone of Qibao's words gave off the aura of a superior, and her calm and peaceful temperament was impossible to ignore. One could only think that children from big families were different. Even a little girl of eleven or twelve had such aura, which made people envious.
