Hero of heart The amazing son in law complete
Chapter 7394
Maria Lin has adopted many orphans like Saito Shohei in her life.
Apart from working hard to raise and educate them, Maria Lin also provides guidance and assistance to many people on their life journey.
He has a wealth of life experience and is highly educated. He is undoubtedly the best teacher in the world. In educating these children, he never hesitates to share his knowledge and experience. Therefore, even though the children he raises come from humble backgrounds or even face hardship, most of them gradually become talented in various fields.
Over the years, Maria Lin has acquired a lot of wealth, but most of it was given to these children without asking for anything in return, just to make their lives bright.
If we summarize what Maria Lin has done in the last three hundred years, apart from the eternal theme of escape, the rest is almost entirely about sowing the seeds of love in the world.
The children he raised also knew that, in addition to escaping his own life, he was constantly devoting himself to others.
She has raised generations of people in various places with varying identities. She has also helped generations of people in various places with varying identities, such as Miss Saito in Kyoto. She is like the Virgin Mary in the eyes of the poor. Whenever a good person faces difficulties, Miss Saito will lend a helping hand.
In those years, the children of poor families in Kyoto did not envy the sons and daughters of wealthy officials and businessmen, but rather the orphans adopted by Miss Saito.
Later, Miss Saito left Japan and no one knows where she went, but her story has been passed down from generation to generation among the older generation in Kyoto.
Maria Lin had devoted countless efforts to these children, but never asked for anything in return. Except for people like Lao Parker, who had no ambition and only wanted to serve the young woman for the rest of his life, Maria Lin rarely interfered with these people’s lives.
Not disturbing them was not only because she didn’t want to cause trouble for them, but more importantly, Maria Lin had tried her best to avoid the separation between life and death.
These adopted sons and daughters would eventually grow old before him. He didn’t want to face the pain of eternal separation, so he bequeathed his entire family fortune to them and let them live their own wonderful lives. He would disappear from their lives during their prime and never contact these children again from then on. That way, he wouldn’t have to watch the children he raised die before him.
I came to see Kongyin today because I wanted to investigate him, but I didn’t expect that I would inadvertently accompany Kongyin through the final stop in his life.
Seeing Kong Yin’s extremely aged and lifeless face before her, Maria Lin’s emotions nearly collapsed. Holding the rejuvenation pill in her palm, she cried uncontrollably, muttering, “Zhengping, why are you so foolish? There is no heaven in this world. I’ve told you since we were little that death is like a lamp going out. How can a lamp that runs out of oil in this world be rekindled in another world…”
How many people would go crazy for the chance to extend their lifespan by twenty years, but Kong Yin gave up this opportunity, partly for his own sake. Maria Lin felt very sad.
Seeing his sadness, Margaret An stepped forward and gently embraced him, consoling him, “Everyone will die. It’s just that you’ve lived too long, making it seem as if they haven’t lived enough. In fact, even without these extra twenty years of life, Master Kongyin would already be one of the longest-lived in the world. After all, he’s a monk, so perhaps he’s already indifferent to worldly life and death.”
Maria Lin’s grief deepened, and she choked as she said, “Actually, Zhengping became a monk to achieve enlightenment. I once told him that Buddhism is also a path to enlightenment, so he’s been thinking about this since he was young, saying that after enlightenment, he would be able to protect me better and longer. Unexpectedly, this decision lasted for over a hundred years, until he realized that it was completely hopeless.”
Maria Lin sighed as she spoke. “The fact that he used his secular name, instead of his Buddhist name, during his funeral arrangements is enough to prove that he abandoned his illusions about Buddhism at the last moment. So, what was the point of his unwavering persistence for over a hundred years?”
Margaret An hadn’t thought about this before, but after Maria Lin reminded her, she suddenly realized it.
It turns out that Master Kongyin spent his entire life pursuing enlightenment through Buddhism. He was able to persevere for over a hundred years, indicating that he must have possessed incredibly strong faith. However, it wasn’t until his final moments that he realized that all his efforts over the past hundred years had been utterly in vain.
So, at the last moment, he decided to leave Buddhism and end his life with the secular name given by his adoptive mother.
Margaret An had mixed feelings, but she also felt a little more admiration for Maria Lin.
At this time, Jing Qing, who was still supporting Kong Yin’s body, said respectfully, “Madam, Miss Lin, the abbot’s departure is a major matter, we must immediately inform Master Kong Yin’s disciples. If you two are interested in chatting, why don’t you move to another courtyard to discuss further while I inform the people in the temple.”
Margaret An certainly didn’t mind. She and Maria Lin were very close, and spending more time together would definitely be a good thing.
Maria Lin said wearily, “Mrs. Wade, I’ve finished what I had to do, and Zhengping has already left. There’s no point in me staying here any longer, so I’d better not stay any longer.”
Margaret An asked him, “Senior, are you not planning to participate in Master Kongyin’s funeral arrangements?”
Maria Lin shook her head wearily. “I won’t be going. He’s already gone, and the funeral is just a formality. Besides, Kinkaku-ji Temple will definitely take care of Zhengping’s funeral, so I can’t interfere. I’d rather wait until I return to Kyoto to pay my respects at his grave.”
After that, he handed the rejuvenation pill to Margaret An and said seriously, “Mrs. Wade, this rejuvenation pill was given to me by Young Master, but it’s useless to me. Why don’t you keep it? It can also be used in emergencies.”
Margaret An was taken aback, then shook her head for a moment and said, “Since Charlie gave you this rejuvenation pill, Senior, he must have his reasons. You should keep it to yourself.”
Maria Lin said, “The battle between Mrs. Wade and Victoria will probably last a long time. Besides, this potion can save your life in a critical moment. It would be more useful for you to take it with you than for me.”
Margaret An shook her head again and smiled, “Senior, there’s no need to force it. I can’t accept it, and I don’t want to.”
Maria Lin smiled bitterly, “This rejuvenation pill is priceless. Wherever it’s placed, it’s sure to attract crowds of people scrambling to get their hands on it. But I never expected the reception to be this cold today. I’ve offered it twice in a row, but it still hasn’t arrived.”
Margaret An patted her back and said with a reassuring smile, “Senior, just keep the pill and take it again. Since Charlie gave it to you, there must be a reason.”
