Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 418 Taoist Priest

The atmosphere in Song Daha's house became even more depressing. Song Daha went out to work, and Chen Yuer sat in the yard doing needlework. She only smiled when she saw Song Chunlin come in.

"Chunlin is back. Have you eaten yet? Auntie made some pies. They're in the pot. I'll heat them up for you."

Song Chunlin stopped Chen Yuer who was about to go out to work and told her that he would go home to eat later.

"Sister-in-law has already cooked. It will be ready soon. Aunt, please stop working. Where's Second Uncle? Hasn't he come back yet?"

Chen Yuer sighed, "Now that you're back, you should know that your second uncle has been worried about Gensheng's situation recently. The father and son are just fighting for each other. I asked someone to find him many girls and boys from good families, but he doesn't like any of them. I don't like those who came to our family either. Alas, he's not a child anymore, why is he so stubborn and refuses to get married?"

Song Chunlin didn't know how to comfort Chen Yuer, so he could only ask for Li Gensheng's location and go to the study in the backyard to find him.

Compared with the sad-looking Chen Yuer, Li Gensheng was quite content. He did not feel any urgency to get married. Song Chunlin even felt that he was particularly relaxed at this moment, wondering if it was an illusion.

"Get married? I don't want to. You haven't lived in the village for a long time, so you're naturally unaware of the rumors. Our family fortune may seem insignificant to you, but in the eyes of the villagers, it's a fortune that took several generations to accumulate."

Li Gensheng put down his pen and turned to look at Song Chunlin. "Chunlin, since ancient times, money has always moved people. You know, my father wasn't a good man, and I, who killed my father, am naturally not a good man either. I can't guarantee that after I get married and have children, I won't be greedy for these things that don't belong to me. Maybe, to put it another way, I don't have such thoughts, but can I guarantee that my wife and my children, after listening to the gossip of those villagers, won't want more because of what they see and hear?"

Li Gensheng shook his head. "No, the human heart in this world is the most unpredictable. Besides, a villain like me really shouldn't cause too much trouble to the family. Chunlin, I have never planned to get married, and I don't think I am qualified to have children to continue the Li family's incense. Since you are a bad seed, then don't pass it on. This is the best."

Song Chunlin was shocked by Li Gensheng's words. He never thought that Li Gensheng actually looked down on him. He knew what kind of bad character his biological father had, so he never thought about having a child with his biological father's blood.

Song Chunlin didn't know how to find his voice. His voice was dry and he could only open his mouth dryly to confirm with Li Gensheng.

"Have you made up your mind? Do you really not regret it?"

Li Gensheng's tone was firm: "No regrets, Chunlin, this is all retribution for me and my father. I have already planned to go to the Taoist temple to become a monk and practice. In the future, I hope you can help take care of the family affairs."

"What? You want to become a monk and practice Buddhism? Do your aunt and uncle know about this?" Song Chunlin was so scared that he screamed like a chicken. If he hadn't used his mental power to block out the outside world when he came in, the neighbors around would have heard his screams by now.

Li Gensheng shook his head: "I don't know yet. Let's wait a little longer. I'll tell them after they accept that I don't want to get married."

Song Chunlin thought to himself that you are quite kind. You knew that your parents could not bear such a big blow, so you deliberately spoke about it separately.

Rolling his eyes at this troublesome guy, Song Chunlin said unhappily, "Why are you telling me all this now? I feel uncomfortable keeping secrets, don't you know?"

Li Gensheng laughed when he heard that, and his laugh was very mean: "Then I don't care, I'll just say it all and make myself feel better."

Song Chunlin's face turned dark. Why didn't he realize before that this guy was really suitable to be a Taoist priest? He even had a crazy feeling that he would rather die than let his fellow Taoist die.

After leaving Song Dahao's house, Song Chunlin felt his legs were weak. When he returned home and sat at the dinner table, Zhou Ning touched his forehead worriedly.

"What's going on? Why did you become so stupid after going out? Did you hear something terrible?"

It has to be said that Zhou Ning's question hit the nail on the head. Song Chunlin immediately perked up and explained to Zhou Ning with a smile.

"No, sister-in-law, I want to eat pork elbow."

"Nonsense! We don't have pork elbow today. Have some spareribs instead."

Zhou Ning picked up a piece of pork ribs for Song Chunlin, and the topic was thus changed. Song Chunlin naturally talked to everyone about the recent events in the capital, especially about the foreign races. Grandpa Song and Song Dazhuang were obviously very interested.

Song Chunsheng was busy feeding the child, but his ears were always perked up and he was listening attentively.
