Volume 1, Chapter 187: Wishes Fulfilled, the Coffin Stirs

With the woman's footsteps, the surrounding noise subsided significantly, revealing the old man's mahogany casket.

That brand-new coffin looked somewhat soiled, stained with rain and mud.

Noticing Qin Yu staring at the coffin for a long time, the woman felt a bit apprehensive and urged, "Master, can you tell if my grandfather has any unfulfilled wishes?"

Looking at her probing expression, Qin Yu raised an eyebrow, took over her words, and asked, "What? Do you know something?"

The woman hesitated for a moment, but then, as if recalling something, she hardened her heart and blurted out, "Master, I won't hide it from you. When my grandfather was younger, he bought a lottery ticket and won five million yuan right on the spot! Now that he has unfulfilled wishes, could he be fixated on this five million?"

Qin Yu did not speak, her gaze merely sweeping over her with profound meaning.

The woman turned her head with an extremely unnatural expression, refusing to meet Qin Yu's eyes.

Feeling a guilty conscience while still eager to excuse herself, she added, "I'm just guessing, purely guessing."

Qin Yu pressed her thin lips into a straight line.

Because Qin Yu remained silent, the atmosphere throughout the entire room grew very strange.

"If I had such an unfilial granddaughter, I'd have been angered to death long ago!"

"Exactly! The old man's body isn't even cold yet, and she's already scheming against the five million!"

"If it were me, not only would I refuse to let anyone touch my coffin, but I'd also come back and raise hell! This is simply too unfilial!"

"So, is this why you literally angered your grandfather to death?"

The old man's horoscope had long since indicated that his time had not yet come.

A jolt ran through the woman's heart. Clearly, she had seen plenty of instances in live streams where people lied and were exposed by masters, but the moment Qin Yu uttered those words, her mouth outpaced her brain. "No! Not me! Grandfather died of a cerebral hemorrhage!"

Seeing her stubborn denial, Qin Yu said nothing more.

Instead, she cast a look of pity toward the affectionate black-and-white photograph of the old man in the mourning hall.

Do you still think descendants like these are worth it?

The answer given to her was the old man's smiling face with curved eyebrows.

"The five million your grandfather had was practically spent and gone all these years."

Qin Yu stated.

The woman, who had kept her head lowered, looked up in utter shock upon hearing this. "Impossible! That was five million! How could it possibly be spent?!"

Qin Yu's gaze grew sharp, flashing a cold glare directly at her.

"With a descendant like you who sits around eating up the family fortune, would you worry about any mountain of gold or silver not being hollowed out?"

Back then, the old man had simply come into a sudden windfall.

Coupled with his lack of financial management and investment skills, over the years he had spent heavily to support family members and friends, leaving very little behind.

The woman was utterly dazed, still finding it hard to accept this news. "Master, you're joking with me, right? Before he died, my grandfather even told me that his inheritance would all belong to me! How could there not be a single penny left?"

With money constantly on the tip of the woman's tongue, Qin Yu could not help but frown. "Are you questioning my ability?"

"No, no, no, not at all!"

Qin Yu's formidable and majestic tone frightened the woman so much that her face drained of color on the spot.

Watching the woman's cowardly demeanor, though feeling eight hundred kinds of reluctance inside, Qin Yu nevertheless stated, "Your grandfather once left a will, which explicitly stated that the day you get married, the three properties in Shengjing will all be given to you as your dowry."

Until the very last second of his life, the old man was still looking out for his descendants.

For some inexplicable reason, the face of an old urchin flashed before Qin Yu's eyes.

Thinking that this revelation would bring the woman to her senses, she was met instead with the woman's eyes suddenly brightening, muttering excitedly to herself, "Goodness, you old fogey, you really hid that deep! If I hadn't hired a master, I'd never have known you actually bought three properties in Shengjing! Hahahaha!"

The woman's stealthy gloating felt repulsive even through the screen.

The live chat was already flooding with curses directed at the unfilial woman.

Qin Yu looked at the aged ghost shadow standing directly atop the casket.

Indignant, the old man stood over the coffin and angrily plunged straight back into it.

With a loud crack, the load-bearing board of the coffin snapped in two.

The old man's casket plummeted straight to the ground, the noise drawing quite a few people over.

Qin Yu cut off the video connection, and the nameless fire at the other end dissipated along with it.

"Was the person sitting on the coffin lid just now the grandfather?"

"Ah? What coffin lid? How come I didn't see anything?"

"Just that dark shadow, hunched over, looking entirely like an elderly person."

"I was too busy being angry just now and didn't pay attention."

"Suddenly it feels so desolate! The old man is already dead, yet he still had to witness his unfilial descendants firsthand."

Qin Yu gently shook her head. "There's nothing to pity. You reap what you sow. Sudden windfalls like that heavily test a person's fortune."

"Fortunately, the old man himself was blessed with longevity, so this matter did not harm him, but none of his descendants escaped its effects."

That was why, despite the old man's exceptionally large family, very few people in the earlier footage were wearing mourning clothes for him.

"Affected by the backlash of that fortune, the old man's three sons all died prematurely. The only granddaughter is the one you just saw."

This resulted in the granddaughter being showered with ultimate affection since childhood, fostering the habits of an idle, second-generation nouveau riche.

"For a moment, I don't know whether to feel sorry for the old man or for the granddaughter!"

"Bro, why don't you consider feeling sorry for yourself first? That old man won five million when he was young and lived a life of plenty! Even if that granddaughter is unfilial, she's still the granddaughter of a wealthy man, living a life a hundred times better than a working stiff like you? Do you even need to pity her?"

"That's stabbing a knife straight into the heart."

"He was clearly talking about the guy above, but why do I feel like I just caught a stray bullet? /Bitter smile/"

"Is that even right? I've also known someone who won the lottery, and their whole family lives quite happily! They opened a factory around our parts, and it's growing bigger by the day. I heard they're even planning to go public in the future."
"Not everyone is adversely affected by such unearned 'blessings.' Some people are naturally devoted to public welfare—donating to charity, rendering disaster relief, and founding hope primary schools. To a certain extent, these acts can ward off misfortune for them."

Moreover, people with such awareness tend to place greater emphasis on the inner and outer cultivation of their children. Consequently, such families find happiness.

Every cause has a destined effect. Yet throughout the entire process of manifesting that effect, numerous uncertain variables exist, which in turn shape the final form of the result.

"You don't say, but seriously! Their family are major philanthropists in our village! The road leading from our village to the city was funded entirely by them! The library in our school was also built with their donations! Plus, every year they hand out subsidies to impoverished students at our school. They are pure, five-star good people!"

"They deserve to get rich! That perspective is truly magnificent!"

"Today's first divination is a success. Everyone adjust your network speeds; we are about to draw the second divination of the day."

Lest people say she didn't give a heads-up, Qin Yu specifically spoke up.

"I'm ready, I'm ready!"

"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. I am ready at all times!"
"This time, I am definitely grabbing that lucky bag!"

"Wait, wait, wait, let me switch networks!"

"......"

amidst the rolling comments in the chat, Qin Yu released the second lucky bag.
