Lizheng* politely invited the person into the hall and said, “Brother Su, please sit down.” 

*Lizheng (里正) : An official position in ancient china, mainly in charge of household registrations and tax payment.   

He also asked his wife to pour a cup of hot tea for Old Mr. Su.  

Old Mr. Su just sniffed it and knew that the tea brewed by Lizheng’s family was not cheap tea. 

“Good tea.” Old Mr. Su said. 

Lizheng smiled and said, “Ah, it was given by Daya’s father.”  

Abbess Huijue gave several jars as gifts, but Su Cheng couldn’t finish them all, so he gave some to Old Li Tou and Lizheng. 

Old Mr. Su stopped talking.  

Recalling the tense relationship between the Su family and the Old Su family, Lizheng realized that he shouldn’t have mentioned Su Cheng in front of Old Mr. Su.  

He cleared his throat lightly and said, “You come here to find me, is it for the matter of Yuniang?” 

He heard that Yuniang was going to establish her own household. 

Su Yuniang could only move her household registration with her family’s consent. 

As for settling down in the village again, she would need the village chief’s approval.  

As for this, he had no objections. 

Old Mr. Su looked like he was hesitating to speak, and looked very embarrassed. 

Lizheng said, “Brother Su, if you have something to say, feel free to speak directly.”  

Old Mr. Su said, “I really came here for Yuniang’s sake, but it’s not for her household registration, and I hope you can keep secrets for Yuniang.” 

Lizheng asked in confusion, “What’s wrong with Yuniang?” 

Old Mr. Su sighed and said, “She stole the jade pendant from our house.” 

Lizheng was surprised, “What?”  

Old Mr. Su said, “Back then, when our Old Su family sold our ancestral jade pendant, everyone only knew one, not knowing the other one. In fact, it was a pair of pendants, totaling two pieces. We sold one of them, and the other piece was passed down to me by my father. I plan to pass it on to Su Can before I pass away, but……” 

“Ahh……” Lizheng was indeed very surprised.  

Old Mr. Su looked at him and said, “If you have wealth, you shouldn’t reveal it to the outside, you should be able to understand it, right?”  

Lizheng nodded blankly and said, “Yes, yes.”  

Old Mr. Su continued, “After selling the jade pendant, our family has been robbed several times.” 

Lizheng let out a long sigh and said,”I know about this one.”  

Old Mr. Su said, “So, regarding the matter of the other jade pendant, my father ordered me not to mention it to anyone to avoid any trouble.” 

“Of course.” Lizheng expressed understanding.  

Ordinary people were innocent, but became guilty for possessing a treasure*.

*Ordinary people were innocent, but became guilty for possessing a treasure : it means that wealth can bring disaster, also refers to people who suffer harm because of their talents and ideals. 

At that time, it was a time of famine and rampant banditry. If it was known that the Old Su family still had a valuable jade pendant, it would have probably been stolen long ago.     

Old Mr. Su shifted the conversation and said, “Today, Yuniang came home and took the jade pendant away.” 

“Yuniang?” Lizheng was once again surprised. 

Old Mr. Su shook his head and sighed, “I don’t know why she did that. Obviously she doesn’t lack money…… perhaps because she hated me for almost sending her to the temple? That’s why she came up with this way to retaliate against me.” 

Lizheng opened his mouth and said, “Ah…this……” 

Old Mr. Su said earnestly, “No matter what, Yuniang is my granddaughter, and sending her to the temple is a last resort. Whether she hates me or doesn’t recognize me as her grandfather from now on, I won’t blame her. But the jade pendant was passed down from our ancestors, and I hope she can return it.” 

Lizheng looked at him and said, “Brother Su, you’re telling me this……” 

Old Mr. Su helplessly said, “She won’t listen to me now, that’s why I hope you can help me to persuade her. Also, please don’t let the villagers know, I don’t want her to lose face and won’t be able to hold her head up in front of the villagers in the future.”
