PNB Chapter 156 Hope
Chapter 156 Hope
At the critical moment, Butler Li Le and his men appeared like gods sent from heaven. Their timely intervention opened up a path to freedom for Sheng Junwei.
Butler Li Le had his signature gentle smile on his face, and his tone was calm and unhurried as he guided the public to ask questions in an orderly manner, promising that someone would answer their doubts. This calmness effectively calmed the public's anxious emotions and gradually restored order at the scene.
Sheng Junwei returned to the hall and before she could catch her breath, the excited old man Wang knelt on the ground. Tears flowed like pearls from a broken string, expressing his infinite gratitude to his boss for saving his life.
Every time he kowtowed heavily, Sheng Junwei's heart trembled. She hurriedly supported him and prevented the fourth blow from falling.
Her words were full of understanding and encouragement. She told Old Man Wang that his trust and requests for help were the very meaning of Shengqi Charity's existence. Real courage lies in not giving up hope in the face of difficulties. This opportunity and change actually came from his own inner persistence and kindness.
Facing Old Man Wang's modesty and confusion, Sheng Junwei smiled gently but firmly. She explained that kindness is not limited to anyone, and even small acts of kindness can converge into an ocean and change the trajectory of fate.
Although Old Man Wang lived in poverty, his unchanging kindness allowed him to seize the opportunity at the turning point of his destiny. Not only was he able to escape the shackles of fate, but his son who lived far away was also gently lifted up by the hand of fate.
Wang Gou Wa now has a new life thanks to Sheng Junwei's intervention.
Although his physical disability and the hardships of life still exist, at least he has the opportunity to continue living, a starting point to rediscover the value and meaning of life.
Sheng Junwei knows very well that encouraging a person to stand up again requires not only material assistance, but also spiritual comfort and encouragement.
Although she is not an expert in this area, Sheng Qi Charity has Si Qi's passion and Pei Yu's calmness and wisdom. Working together, they will surely ignite the lamp called "hope" in Wang Gou Wa's heart, allowing him to bravely greet the arrival of every dawn even in the face of great challenges.
After finishing a busy day of official duties, Pei Yu always had the habit of quietly visiting the charity's hut. His figure moved lightly through the simple alleys, and the setting sun cast a soft golden edge on his gentle and elegant steps.
At first, the beneficiaries did not realize that this young man who always had a warm smile was the noble son-in-law they were talking about.
Until one day, he personally lifted the veil of secrecy and faced everyone's surprised gazes calmly.
Seeing this, Sheng Junwei's eyebrows flashed with surprise. Her clear spring-like eyes contained a slight dissatisfaction. She gently opened her lips and asked, "What exactly do you want to do by doing this?"
Although her voice was soft, it was like morning dewdrops falling on the surface of a quiet lake, creating ripples.
Pei Yu looked at her with a gentle but firm gaze, and explained, "Since you and I are already married, calling each other brother and sister in private does not affect our image as a couple in front of outsiders. Rather than letting those who are interested in us find out, it is better for us to take the initiative and seize the initiative."
Just as Sheng Junwei was about to speak but hesitated, with her doubts still in her heart, Pei Yu suddenly changed the subject, "If you want to inspire Wang Gou Wa's desire for life, I have an idea."
Then the scene shifts to a seemingly ordinary house in the suburbs of Beijing. It is neither overly luxurious nor dilapidated, but appropriately hidden between prosperity and tranquility.
Walking into the courtyard, Sheng Junwei was deeply attracted by a scene she had never seen before, and an expression of surprise and astonishment appeared on her beautiful face.
"This... is your plan?" she asked in disbelief, her tone full of curiosity and anticipation.
In the room facing the courtyard gate, through the half-open window, I saw a young man sitting there quietly, holding a brush in his mouth, dancing on the rice paper like a spirit snake, leaving lines of flying ink marks.
He used his mouth as a pen, and not only was there no hindrance at all, but his brushstrokes were vigorous and powerful, with a profound artistic conception, demonstrating an astounding perseverance and talent.
"They share the same suffering. Perhaps it is this similar experience that allows them to establish a special resonance between them."
Pei Yu introduced softly, "This young man is called Lin Weimin. He was once a famous genius in the academy. Even his mentor predicted that his achievements would surpass those of many of his predecessors."
"I don't think I can match his talent, so I have nothing but admiration for him, not the slightest jealousy." Pei Yu continued, his eyes full of sympathy and understanding for Lin Weimin. "Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. A few years ago, while on a study tour, he was attacked by bandits. Despite his superior martial arts, he was outnumbered and seriously injured. It is said that one of the bandits had a grudge against him and chopped off his hands in an attempt to completely ruin his future."
"He was once famous for his elegant calligraphy and extraordinary landscape paintings, but after losing his hands, picking up a pen became a luxury, and his career as an official came to an abrupt end."
There was a hint of sadness in Pei Yu's words, as if he was telling the fall of a star of the era.
After all, in this society that values both etiquette and ability, a person with a physical disability, even if he or she is extremely talented, cannot cross the threshold to the pinnacle of power.
What's more, having lost both hands, he has to rely on others for help, whether it is official documents or daily chores. In this situation, how can he shoulder the responsibility of the family and the country?
After the news of Lin Weimin losing both arms spread, people all sighed and lamented that talented people are often easily envied by fate.
His vivid handwriting and magnificent paintings seem to have become eternal legends along with the tragedy.
However, the twists of fate are always unexpected.
Several years later, paintings signed by Lin Weimin were once again circulated in the world.
These new works not only retain the original style, but also add a bit of calmness and unprecedented delicacy after years of accumulation.
The superb skills are enough to prove his continuous breakthroughs and growth in adversity.
At first, people speculated that this was just an act of impersonation by some bold people. Until one day, an old classmate of Lin Weimin came back to visit and exposed the truth that someone was using his name to defraud. Only then did people witness with their own eyes Lin Weimin's perseverance in holding a brush in his mouth and painting with his mouth instead of his hands.
All suspicions and doubts vanished under the shock of this scene.
Pei Yu added: "Lin Weimin was born in poverty. After the accident, most people thought that his light would be extinguished forever. Except for a few old gentlemen in the college, almost no one was willing to set foot here to visit him. And I, because I felt sorry for his misfortune, chose to accompany him often."
