"The woman also mentioned the name of her workplace and said that if a kind person found the money, she would like to send it to the workplace. After my dad got home, he told my mom about it. My mom disagreed with returning the money and said that the woman was careless and deserved to lose money. She said that she needed to learn a lesson. My dad didn't return the 100,000 yuan."
He Guangzhi lowered his head more and more. After his father picked up the money, he called a family meeting. His mother strongly opposed it at the time. He and his wife felt bad about it, but they didn't object and let his parents make the decision.
"What happened to the woman who lost the money?" Jiang Hanyan asked coldly.
He Guangzhi's body trembled, and his wife's face turned pale. The couple's behavior showed that the woman's fate was not good.
"Dead...dead. Died from drinking the medicine."
He Guangzhi's voice trembled. His father went to the company to inquire. The factory did not believe that the woman had lost the money. They thought she had embezzled the money and asked her to pay compensation. The woman had no way to defend herself and could not pay, so she took medicine and committed suicide. She also left a suicide note, which read:
"I didn't take any money. Whoever took my money will die a horrible death and go to hell!"
This incident caused a big fuss, and the He family was frightened for a while, but they soon calmed down. It was not them who killed the woman, but that woman's psychological endurance was too poor, and she was forgetful. They could only blame herself, not them.
"You took her money with a clear conscience, and then something happened after you moved into this house. Instead of reflecting on yourself, you harmed others. People like you will suffer retribution even if you don't move into this house." Jiang Hanyan said coldly.
The reason why He's father died suddenly was because he was involved in the karma of the suicidal woman. It was He's father's act of picking up the money that directly led to the woman's suicide. Moreover, the woman left a very resentful curse before she died. Even if He's father did not move into this house, he would still have retribution.
He's mother was an accomplice and she did many immoral things in her daily life, so she is bedridden.
He Guangzhi and his wife are also accomplices because they are living in the house bought with that money, so they are naturally involved in the cause and effect. However, because they did not directly harm anyone, the backlash they suffered was not severe.
"Master, please save our family. I'll do anything you ask me to do, as long as it can save us!"
He Guangzhi's face turned pale and he knelt on the ground begging bitterly. He didn't want to die, nor did he want to be unemployed. He wanted to live a good life.
"It's simple. Move out of this house, do good deeds from now on, don't do anything that would make you feel guilty, and give them another 20,000 yuan in compensation!"
Jiang Hanyan suggested a solution; the He family’s house could no longer be lived in.
He Guangzhi looked embarrassed and stammered, "This is the only house we have. If we move out, we'll have nowhere to live. Besides, we spent so much money on this house. It would be a waste to leave it empty."
Before, their family lived in the work unit, which was a house allocated by the work unit. After buying this house, they gave up the house and made a bold statement in front of their colleagues at the unit that they would never come back to live in the work unit's small, shabby house again.
If they move back now, how can they be so embarrassed? The house can't be sold now. People in the neighborhood know about their family's situation and say bad things behind their backs. He asked an agent to sell the house, but when the agent heard about his house, he said it was difficult to sell and asked him to reduce the price to 300,000 yuan, which would mean a loss of 200,000 yuan. He definitely wouldn't agree.
Now his family is in a difficult situation. They don't have much money and can't make ends meet unless they sell the house.
"I'll buy it. Five hundred thousand."
Jiang Hanyan spoke up. She would not take advantage of this guy, but——
"After selling the house, return the 100,000 yuan to the woman's parents and children. If you dare to embezzle this money, you will die like your father."
He Guangzhi was so scared that his face turned pale. He said that he dared not keep it and would definitely return the 100,000 yuan to the woman's family.
"The money your father embezzled must be handed over directly to the government, not a cent less. In addition, their family must pay 20,000 yuan in compensation. These must be done well. If you dare to pretend to obey but secretly disobey, your family will be unlucky for the rest of their lives. Your mother will be bedridden, you will lose your job, and your wife will have miscarriages and won't be able to have children."
Jiang Hanyan's voice was not loud, but her words made He Guangzhi and his wife pale, especially He Guangzhi's wife. She could not even stand steadily. Although she was selfish, greedy and petty, she wanted to have a child. She was sadder than anyone else when her four-month-old fetus was gone. She still often dreamed about that child and burst into tears when she woke up.
"We do as we are told and listen to the master."
He Guangzhi's wife agreed to everything. When He Guangzhi was still a little hesitant, she kicked him and yelled, "Do you want to end your family lineage?"
Like a bolt of thunder, He Guangzhi woke up from his dream and nodded rapidly. He also wanted a child and didn't want to be without an heirloom.
The next day, He Guangzhi went to the police station to claim the 10,000 yuan, added another 10,000 yuan and compensated it to Liu Lingna's parents. He sold the house to Jiang Hanyan for 500,000 yuan, then found the woman's home and left 100,000 yuan for her parents and children. The remaining 400,000 yuan was confiscated by the government.
After everything was settled, He Guangzhi and his family moved out of their house and moved into a rented house. Although they lost their house and their money, their situation gradually improved. Although Mrs. He was not well yet, the new leader of He Guangzhi's unit was not as stern as before and assigned him a new job. He Guangzhi immediately felt relieved.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Liu Lingna's parents did not want the 20,000 yuan. They felt that they should not take the money without doing anything. They also said that Jiang Hanyan should accept the 20,000 yuan because she saved their lives.
Jiang Hanyan naturally would not take the money. She only accepted 200 yuan as compensation for rescuing Liu Lingna's parents. It would be against the rules not to take a penny, so 200 yuan was enough as a token of her appreciation. After her repeated persuasion, Liu Lingna's parents accepted 20,000 yuan. Soon they brought back their younger son and daughter who had stayed in their hometown. Jiang Hanyan helped them contact the school so that they could report there after school started.
It's so hot in Shanghai in August that Jiang Hanyan basically doesn't go out. She occasionally goes shopping with Sheng Baojun during the day and calls Doudou at night. The little guy is having so much fun that he will be back in about ten days.
Lu Chen basks in the sun at the construction site every day, but his skin is still fair, unlike Lei Ming and the others, whose skin is tanned black. They all bought houses in Shanghai. Lei Ming also brought his younger brother and sister to go to school in Shanghai, and Lin Xianghong also brought his widowed mother to live with him. Everyone's life is getting better and better.
That night, Jiang Hanyan and Lu Chen sat on the sofa watching TV. She was holding half a watermelon, which was grown in the space. It was sweet and juicy, and tasted amazing. She scooped a spoonful to feed Lu Chen, and then scooped another spoonful for herself.
What was playing on TV was a videotape that Jiang Hanyan rented. It was Stephen Chow's Royal Cop, starring Carina Lau. She used to think that Lau was not pretty and her acting was not good, but in this drama, Liu was very beautiful and her acting was also very good. She had watched it several times in her previous life, but she still laughed happily when she watched it now. This was the unique charm of Stephen Chow.
The phone rang. The phone was right next to him. Lu Chen stretched out his hand and pressed the hands-free button. It was President Rong's voice, and his tone was urgent, "Miss Jiang, Doudou is in trouble."
