[Comprehensive] Tragedy Subversion

Lin Anan made up her mind, so she counted all of Shylock's property, and then went to the office of a notary with a good reputation in Venice.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Anan said straight to the point: "I want to donate all my property to the society after my death. I hope you will notarize it for me."

Many merchants in the city of Venice are doing charity, but they only occasionally donate some small amounts of money and things, and even slightly larger donations are rare.

Rao is a notary who has practiced for many years, and this is the first time he heard that someone wants to donate all his net worth.I couldn't help being a little dazed for a while, and then I asked after a while: "Sherlock, are you sure you are awake? Are you crazy?"

Lin Anan said without hesitation: "I'm very clear-headed. I know this is really unbelievable, but I made this decision from the bottom of my heart and after careful consideration. It's definitely not a whim."

The kind-hearted notary was still full of doubts: "Sherlock, I advise you to think carefully before making this decision. After all, it is the wealth you have accumulated through hard work for half your life."

Lin Anan shook her head and said, "I've been thinking about it for a long time, and the result is still the same."

The notary thought for a while and said, "Then there's no need to donate all your wealth. After all, you still have a daughter."

Lin Anan thought, I did this to prevent the money from falling into Jessica's hands, and said with a firm attitude: "I leave my wife's dowry and other things to my daughter, but everything else is mine. I have earned it myself, and I have the right to determine their ownership."

The notary saw that Lin Anan was so firm and brought all the supporting materials, so he had to agree to Lin Anan's request: "Since you insist on this, then I will not persuade you anymore. To handle such a notarization requires..."

Lin Anan did not ask the notary to keep it secret, so the news was known by many people.

In the city of Venice, there was an upsurge of discussing whether Lin Anan was crazy.The content of people meeting and talking is no longer what the weather is like today, but "Have you heard that the Jew Shylock decided to donate his family property to the school after his death instead of leaving it to his daughter?" "Yes , I’ve heard that too. You said, he started from scratch and worked so hard to save those family fortunes, so why can’t he think about it?” Such conversations.

Luo Zhuolun was also shocked when he heard the news.

Luo Zhuolun, like everyone else, doesn't like Jews, thinking that they are too smart, too good at making money, and they are simply vampires.

In addition, he and his friend Bassanio have a lot in common - they both hope to marry a wife who can bring a generous dowry.In short, they don't mind and even create all the conditions to have a soft meal.

Although Jessica is a Jew, she is not only beautiful, but she has not inherited Sherlock's shrewdness at all, but is foolish and easy to deceive.Just the thought of Jessica being able to inherit all of Sherlock's wealth in the future makes Luo Zhuolan happy.

Therefore, Luo Zhuo Lun did not hope that Lin An'an would make the decision to donate his family property.When he found out that the news was true, he was stunned and didn't know how he should treat Jessica.

Continue to be sweet with Jessica?That's impossible, since she can't bring a large dowry, then I don't want to marry her.

Turn against her immediately?What if Lin Anan suddenly regrets it?

Besides, Lin An Anke said that Jessica's mother's dowry back then was all going to Jessica.If her mother's dowry was very generous, wouldn't she have missed a fortune in vain?

Luo Zhuolun thought about it for a while, but still couldn't make up his mind, and finally decided to tell Jessica the news first, and at the same time find out how much money Jessica had in her hands, and what was the value of her mother's dowry?It would be even better if Jessica could persuade Lin Anan to change her mind.

When Jessica heard from Luo Zhuolun that her father was going to donate all the family property, the wonderful expression on Jessica's face was beyond description, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

Seeing her like this, Luo Zhuolun despised her even more.Heh, a pampered young lady who has no idea when encountering things, if she had run home long ago, she would have hugged her father's thigh and begged bitterly.

It took Jessica a long time to think of asking Luo Zhuolun for help. She opened her big wet eyes and asked expectantly: "You are always resourceful, tell me, what should I do?"

Luo Zhuolun saw that she still knew how to ask him for advice, so he was not brainless at all. He pondered for a while, and said in a mocking tone: "It's really unheard of for a vampire to vomit blood. It's just that he is too cruel, and he didn't even think about it at all. Not for your consideration. Now, tell me, how much money do you have? I have to make a judgment based on the actual situation."

Jessica answered honestly, "It's only a few hundred dollars."

"So, didn't your mother leave you anything when she was alive?"

"Only a few of her dowry, which are not very valuable."

Luo Zhuolun was very disappointed, and said: "Then, there is only one way. Now go home immediately and beg your father, please don't be so heartless."

Jessica has always obeyed Luo Zhuolun's words, and she couldn't think of any other way, so she went home sullenly, and begged Lin Anan not to be so cruel: "Father, I beg you, do you want me to marry in such a poor way? ?”

Lin Anan looked at her in surprise: "This is really weird. Every time Antonio sarcastically ridiculed or even insulted and scolded me, when I went home and told you my grievances, didn't you agree with him very much?" Do you think what he said is right, and ask me not to take the bloody money? Now I feel repentant and think what you said is right, so I will donate all my hard-earned family fortune without hesitation, You should not only agree with my decision, but also praise my noble character. Why do you want me to withdraw that decision?"

Jessica was at a loss for words, and it took a long time before she said, "This, this, father, we always have to live. You have worked hard all your life, how can you give away all your property so easily for free?"

Lin Anan said: "That's why I decided to donate my family property after my death. Since you know that it is not easy for me to earn money, why do you still waste money and pay attention to clothing when I am saving money? I heard from a friend Say, you spent 80 yuan to treat people to dinner two days ago. Do you know how much money and how long it takes to get 80 yuan in interest? Your behavior is too extravagant, don’t do this again in the future.”

Jessica cried out, "Father, that's only 80 yuan, not even a fraction of what Mr. Bassanio paid for a meal."

Lin Anan said: "That's why Mr. Bassanio ruined all the family property of the ancestors so quickly. By the way, who did you invite to dinner?"

Jessica didn't have the guts to tell Lin Anan that Luo Zhuolun was invited, and that she paid for every meal, and said falteringly: "No one, just an ordinary friend."

Lin Anan sighed, and said: "You spend too much. The money you spent in the last two months can feed our family for a year. From today on, you should learn to be diligent and thrifty. I I don't want the other party to accuse me of not educating my daughter well because you don't know how to be diligent and thrifty when you get married in the future."

Jessica was completely dumbfounded this time, no matter how stingy Sherlock was, he was still generous to her.So she can always have new clothes to wear, and she can go out beautifully to attract the attention of others.

Jessica's heart would break at the thought that she would never have enough money to buy nice clothes or eat at the most expensive restaurants.

She couldn't imagine that if she was wearing old clothes, without new jewelry, like a country girl, would Luo Zhuolun still love herself as much as she does now?

Jessica stayed for a long time before saying, "Father, if you do this, I won't be able to get married. Then you will be ridiculed by everyone."

Lin Anan sneered slightly and said, "Aren't there few times in my life that I was ridiculed by others? Don't worry, I can stand it. But you, you should keep your eyes open and take a good look, don't be sold out, you don't know it is What's going on."

Jessica blushed: "Father, I'm not that stupid. Don't you care about me at all?"

Lin Anan glanced at her: "Forget it, I only care about the people I should care about. If you are really worried about your future livelihood, you should quickly find a reliable person to marry. Your mother's dowry is in your hands, Presumably there is no need to add anything for you."

Jessica failed to convince Lin An'an, so she had to ask Luo Zhuolun for help again: "Father is determined, and he won't listen to my persuasion at all. Luo Zhuolun, help me to think of a way, what should I do?"

When Luo Zhuolun heard that she couldn't soften Lin Anan's mind, and thought that Sherlock's alluring wealth was about to be lost to him, his heart ached.

Xin Dao, it seems that he can no longer associate with Jessica, he must find another rich and stupid woman as soon as possible.He absent-mindedly perfunctory her: "It's okay, it's okay, it's still a long time, there's always a way, and we will always find a way."

Jessica wiped away her tears and said, "Father wants me to quickly find a man who is willing to marry, Luo Zhuolun, when do you think we will explain our matter to my father?"

Luo Zhuolun was taken aback, and comforted her by saying: "Your father has always been at odds with me, it seems that we should take it easy. Don't worry, you are still so young, we have plenty of time." But he thought in his heart that I don't want to marry someone who is both A woman who has no brains and no dowry, it is better to end it quickly.

Jessica didn't understand what he meant at all, and thought he was feeling sorry for herself, so she leaned against him with a moved face: "Luo Zhuolun, you are so kind, why didn't I meet you earlier?"

Luo Zhuolun put his arms around her, but what he thought in his heart was to find a woman with suitable conditions quickly, and stop wasting time on Jessica.

Soon, Jessica discovered that Luo Zhuolun was always avoiding her, either because he was busy with business matters, or because he had to go out of town and had no time to meet her.In a word, he was looking for all kinds of excuses to not see her.

Jessica didn't pay attention to it at first, and really thought that Luo Zhuolun was really busy, but after a long time, she realized that something was wrong.

In order to find out what was going on, she began to follow Luo Zhuolun, only to find that Luo Zhuolun was dating another woman, and she seemed very sweet and intimate when talking and laughing.

Jessica was very shocked. She didn't expect Luo Zhuolun to do this at all, so she rushed forward to argue with Luo Zhuolun: "Why are you doing this to me?"
