Chapter 279 – A Chance Given to Him by Heaven
Huang Yuxian had just thought about saying something when he heard the little girl speak again.
[Uncle Huang, you can’t raise pigs. Otherwise, you’ll lose money until you cry, until your family is ruined]
What Xu Jinning said was not an exaggeration.
It was when Huang Yuxian mentioned wanting to raise 2,500 piglets that she suddenly remembered a plot from a novel.
In it, it was mentioned that a nationwide outbreak of swine fever would occur in July of this year, which was next month, and it would spread very quickly.
All the pig farmers in the country had pigs infected with swine fever, and all the pigs died.
The collective pig farmers were okay, but those who owned private ones, especially those who ran pig farms, lost everything and even incurred debts.
That year, the newspapers were filled with these news stories.
One of the news stories was about a pig farmer surnamed Huang. He was from Beijing and used to be the manager of a collective meat processing plant. Later, due to changes in national policies, he took over the plant and spent all his money on it.
Later, in order to develop the plant, he bought piglets, not only using up his savings but also borrowing a lot of money, hoping to raise the piglets to sell for profit by the end of the year.
But the result was that not long after buying the piglets, a nationwide outbreak of swine fever occurred.
The 2,500 piglets he bought all died within a month.
Because of this, he incurred debts.
Not only that, but some other things happened later.
Finally, by the end of that year, this pig farmer’s only daughter died in a fatal accident. It was said that she was traveling with her mother to visit an aunt when the accident happened.
The mother became depressed because of this and died within half a year.
The pig farmer surnamed Huang, burdened with debt and having lost his daughter and wife in such a short span of time, couldn’t bear it. Not long after his wife’s death, he h*nged himself.
So, the swine fever and the debts were just the beginning. Eventually, it led him to a tragic end.
The reason why Xu Jinning didn’t initially think of the pig farmer surnamed Huang as the present Mr. Huang was because this plotline was only briefly mentioned in the book without detailed description or mentioning the name. So initially, Xu Jinning didn’t make the connection.
It was the mention of 2,500 piglets that reminded her.
Oh, she remembered now. Although the newspaper didn’t mention the name of the pig farmer surnamed Huang, it did mention Yongxing Meat Processing Plant.
Isn’t that Mr. Huang’s factory?
[What should I do? How do I remind Mr. Huang not to raise pigs?]
[And how do I remind Huang Minyue not to visit relatives in another city? This visit could cost her life.]
Xu Jinning realized that when she wanted to speak up, just like before, she couldn’t give a warning.
Now, Xu Jinning considered Huang Minyue as a friend, and Huang Minyue was a good girl. She couldn’t just watch her, at such a young age with a promising future, lose her life like this.
Nor could she bear to see their beautiful family end up in ruins and tragedy.
Here, Xu Jinning was worried about how to tell Huang Minyue and Mr. Huang to avoid the deadly outcome.
On the other side, Huang Yuxian’s mind was already filled with the vision of Xu Jinning’s inner thoughts.
Initially, Huang Yuxian thought the little girl was jinxing his pig farming venture.
But when he turned around, he realized that the little girl hadn’t spoken at all.
Yet he heard her voice.
It must have been the little girl’s inner thoughts, her innermost words.
He actually heard the little girl’s inner thoughts!
How mystical and unbelievable it was.
Before Huang Yuxian could gather his thoughts, various scenes quickly flashed before his eyes and mind.
There was the scenario of his pig farming venture encountering a nationwide swine fever outbreak, resulting in all the piglets dying and having to be burned.
There was his wife taking Yueyue to visit her aunt in Haishi, only to be robbed on the way back. Yueyue, trying to protect her mother, got st*bbed seven or eight times by the robber and fell down right there, losing her life.
There was his wife becoming depressed after Yueyue’s death and dying of illness within half a year.
There was also him…
His family shattered, his factory burdened with debts, everything lost, and the will to continue living gone.
So, a rope was thrown over the ceiling beam, and he h*nged himself, following his wife and daughter…
Each scene shocked Huang Yuxian to the core.
Even after seeing it all, he remained stunned in place, his eyes filled with terror and fear.
No, that kind of future was definitely not what he wanted to see, nor was it something he wanted to experience.
“Dad, what’s wrong with you?” As they walked, Huang Minyue noticed her father suddenly stopping, seeming lost in thought or pondering something. However, his expression didn’t seem quite right.
“Dad, are you feeling unwell?”
“Yes, I suddenly feel a bit unwell. I won’t accompany you anymore. Yueyue, you continue shopping with your classmate. Dad will go rest for a bit.”
“Dad, why don’t I accompany you?”
“No need, your mother will be back soon, I’ll have your mother accompany me.”
“Okay.”
Huang Yuxian glanced at Xu Jinning with a complex expression before walking away somewhat unsteadily.
…
Back in his office, Huang Yuxian sat down and kept thinking about the miraculous scenes that had just happened.
First, he heard the little girl’s inner thoughts, and then he saw those terrifying scenes…
Huang Yuxian really wanted to believe that it was his imagination, but he knew it wasn’t. His mind was perfectly fine.
And why did that little girl know about the future, and why was it related to her?
Could it be…
That little girl wasn’t an ordinary person.
And why could he hear it?
Why couldn’t he speak out?
Just as Huang Yuxian had all these questions in his mind, there was a voice in the depths of his heart that emerged.
That voice told him not to inquire too much.
He could hear Xu Jinning’s inner thoughts and see the inner voice images; it was a chance given to him by heaven.
A chance to change destiny.
Whether he could seize it or not depended on Huang Yuxian himself.
“Old Huang, what’s wrong? I just saw our daughter, she said you’re not feeling well?”
“Where does it hurt? Should we go to the hospital?”
At this moment, Huang Yuxian’s wife, Bai Ling, came in.
Bai Ling held her husband’s hand and noticed that his hand was unusually cold, and his face was somewhat pale.
Her worry grew deeper.
“Let’s go, let’s go to the hospital now.”
“No, I’m fine, Aling. I’m fine.”
“Are you sure you’re okay like this? I’ve never seen you like this before. No, we must go to the hospital,” Bai Ling insisted, trying to pull him towards the hospital.
Huang Yuxian shook his head. “Aling, there’s no need to go. I’m fine. I… I know what’s causing this.”
“Then tell me,” Bai Ling said, pulling a chair and sitting in front of him, looking at him intently.
“Aling, it’s like this…” Huang Yuxian tried, surprised to find that he could actually tell his wife about what just happened!
So, he told his wife about what he heard and saw in Xu Jinning’s inner thoughts.
