41. Scary punishment
"Pay the money first." The Taoist priest stretched out his hand.
"How could I bring so much money with me? You'd better tell me first, and I'll give it to you afterwards." said the old rich man.
When he heard this, he turned around and left.
"Okay, I'll give it!" The old rich man took out a tael of silver from his arms and put it in the hands of the Taoist priest reluctantly than marrying a daughter.
The Taoist priest collected the money.
"The reason is your stinginess. You are rich and you are a slave to the wealth. The copper coins in the cellar are so smelly that they can't use them for several lifetimes. You lend usury every year and cheat the poor's job. This is unrighteous. The nine wives are all hungry, which is bad." said the old Taoist priest.
"Guanyin saves all sentient beings, and the heart of the Bodhisattva, how could he send children to unrighteous and unkind people? This is a punishment for you. If you cannot correct this problem and do not disperse all your family's wealth, you may be miserable and miserable for the rest of your life, and the incense will be ruined." The old Taoist priest sighed.
"Yes, but that's my lifeline!" said the old rich man.
"There are no more money and come again. You don't understand this principle. A common man! He has finished speaking! Say goodbye." The Taoist priest left and left, leaving the old rich man in a daze.
Not bad, this calculation actually requires all the money!
That is to take your own life! Without a bronze medal, you will die in peace!
"My life root, my life root..." The old rich man beat his chest and stamped his feet all the way, and cried to his house with tears in his eyes.
The nine concubines didn't know what happened. Look at me, I look at you, and no one dared to say a word.
That night, the old rich man didn't go anywhere, but stayed in the cellar where the copper coins were hidden all night, lying on the rusty copper coins. There was nothing more fulfilling than this. When he thought of leaving them, his heart was like a knife.
I thought about it all night, and at dawn, I went to the ancestor's tablet to worship. Unfiliality is the greatest thing, no matter how you say it, you should have a descendant. Maybe that Taoist priest was not cheating, but why did he just...
Alas, wealth and children cannot be achieved.
When I got up the next day, I heard the concubines secretly discussing. The Taoist priest said that if he did not do good deeds and accumulate virtue, the old rich man would have lived for a few years and his life would be lost.
When the old rich man heard this behind the screen, he was frightened and sweated coldly.
Money is important, life is even more important.
He swallowed his saliva and called the nine concubines at the door. Each of them gave them ten copper coins, asking them to make a good set of clothes and buy some whatever they like.
The concubines couldn't believe that this was something that the stingy old rich man did, and they thought they were going to leave, so they cried and shouted not to.
"Thank you for the hard work over the years, it's okay, I'm sorry." The old rich man said generous words, and the ninety copper plates in his heart were like ninety big stones, hitting his heart, causing pain.
The next day, when nine concubines were weaving cloth, they went to Bai Haitang's dyeing workshop and pulled a few feet of beautiful cloth, and prepared to go back and cut clothes.
"Oh my God, Sister Haitang, the sun comes out from the west, and the old rich man's nine concubines actually came to buy cloth." The wintersweet couldn't believe this fact for a moment.
"By the way, the Taoist priest was very accurate in fortune telling yesterday. Sister Haitang, it would be a pity if you don't calculate it. Also, I think he looks a little familiar, but I just can't remember..." Rimei touched her head and concealed.
"Are you like the one selling jade next to us at the market?" Bai Haitang looked informed.
