Chapter 240: Chapter 144 Happiness
Fu Yang, a wealthy young master whose outfit alone could buy a whole street, naturally couldn’t understand why a few rice seedlings could bring an octogenarian to tears.
Feeling puzzled, he asked a photographer nearby, “Why is he crying? Can’t he just buy more?”
“Everyone else in the village has already planted their rice. Raising seedlings also takes effort. What you did today affected the last batch of remaining seedlings, and the old man is heartbroken over it,” the photographer explained.
“Is that really necessary?” Fu Yang was speechless. “If they can’t plant them, they can’t plant them. Just buy rice directly!”
“This old man has no labor force left, with his spouse and children gone, and he’s ill too. He only has a few hundred yuan a year to live on, and all the rest goes to medical expenses. Where do you think he will get the money to buy rice?”
Fu Yang was truly shocked. After all, in the world he lived in, the word ‘hundred’ was always followed by ‘thousand,’ and to him, a few hundred yuan was hardly money at all.
What do you think?
