"Goodness, what he did wasn't begging at all! The elderly ladies pitied him and even spoke auspicious words, giving him broken silver piece by piece. He started begging on the roads by various Daoist temples when he was seven, and in just five years, believe it or not, he managed to build a house with green bricks and big tiles."
"Do you think he was just extremely lucky?"
"More than that, he even saved a grandparent and grandchild from Prefecture City on that road. Oh, the grandmother was so grateful that, from then on, during every festival or holiday, people would bring gifts to his house. Each batch of gifts would be enough for his family's expenditures for several months."
