Chapter 778: Willing to be a Chicken and Dog of Ascension
The first time Li Yundong saw Shen You's mother, Li Xiaoxian, it was in the reception hall of Longmen Building in Soochow City. At that time, Li Xiaoxian was dressed in luxurious furs and full of jewels. Although the child was already in her twenties, she looked like she She is almost the same as a young girl in her twenties. She can be called a beautiful woman with outstanding temperament and extraordinary beauty. No wonder she is so favored by Shen Wancai.
But at this time, in front of Li Yundong, Li Xiaoxian was lying on the bed. Her originally dark hair had now become dry and pale, her skin as delicate as a girl's was now full of wrinkles, and her watery eyes were now deeply sunken. , only two empty eyeballs were embedded in it, motionless, as if they were dead.
If Li Yundong hadn't discovered that she was still breathing slightly, he would have thought that this once touching and beautiful woman was dead.
At this time, Li Xiaoxian was like a living mummy, like a skeleton, which made people feel terrified and creepy when they saw it.
Although Li Yundong disliked this woman very much, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when he saw her like this and sighed lightly.
He turned to Shen Hui and whispered: "How did she become like this?"
Shen Hui sighed softly: "After Shen You was kicked out of the house by the old man that day, Aunt Li secretly sent people to find his whereabouts, but they couldn't find him. Aunt Li was so heartbroken that she missed him every day. My son has never been able to make a living, and now he is slowly becoming like this."
Li Yundong frowned and said: "She won't eat. You can inject her with glucose and give her liquid food! Doesn't this mean that she is going to die on her own?"
Shen Hui sighed: "Uncle Zhang, the housekeeper, thought so at first, but when he wanted to help Aunt Li, Aunt Li beat him like crazy and said that if he did this again, she would commit suicide. Uncle Zhang was afraid that she would commit suicide, so he had no choice but to Let her go on like this."
Li Yundong frowned again and asked: "Where is Mr. Shen? Doesn't he care? Although Mrs. Li has no status, she is still the person who has been sleeping with her for twenty years. Is he so heartless?"
Shen Hui glanced at Li Yundong and said hesitantly: "No, it's not like that. It's... it's..."
Li Yundong asked: "Is it because Mr. Shen blamed Li Xiaoxian for not teaching Shen You well?"
Shen Hui hesitated for a moment and nodded, but then quickly shook his head.
Li Yundong frowned, secretly displeased in his heart. He wanted to ask again, but at this moment he heard a deep laughter coming from behind him, but Shen Wancai had already heard the news and came over.
"Master Li and Fairy Ziyuan are coming. Why didn't you inform me in advance so that I could go out and greet them from afar?" When Shen Wancai appeared at the door, his face was full of smiles, but his eyebrows were full of gloom and his hair was white. It was even more shaky, as if it had aged more than ten years.
When Li Yundong saw him like this, the dissatisfaction in his heart weakened a little. He sighed secretly, smiled slightly, and said to Shen Wancai: "Mr. Shen, you are still so polite."
Shen Wancai quickly looked around, and when he saw Shen Hui bowing her head timidly and Li Xiaoxian behind her, he frowned secretly, but soon relaxed his brows, and he said knowingly: " What do Mr. Li and Fairy Ziyuan want to do today?"
Li Yundong looked at Shen Hui who lowered his head and said nothing. He went straight to the point and said concisely: "Shen Hui asked me to come to see Mrs. Li."
Shen Wancai glanced at Shen Hui, and a meaningful look flashed in his eyes. Before he could speak, Aunt Zheng suddenly spoke up and shouted angrily in a low voice: "Shen Hui, what are you doing? Come here!"
The third concubine, Aunt Zheng, had been fighting with Li Xiaoxian for more than ten years, and now the winner was finally decided. Not only did she see Li Xiaoxian lose the most powerful tool she had with Shen Wancai - the only son of the Shen family - during the Shen You incident, but also She also added insult to injury by pointing out that Li Xiaoxian once poured out all Shen Wancai's medicine in an attempt to kill Shen Wancai.
It was precisely because of this incident that made Shen Wancai furious, and became the last straw that completely crushed Li Xiaoxian.
Her third child finally defeated her fourth child, and the east wind finally defeated the west wind!
These days, the third aunt's wife can be said to be very proud and proud. Not only is she in sharp contrast to the skinny Li Xiaoxian, but even standing next to Shen Wancai, who is more than ten years older, her face is glowing.
Shen Hui lowered her head and slowly moved to Aunt Zheng. As soon as she approached, her mother cursed: "You unfilial thing, you know that the old man hates this bitch to the core, but you still save her, what do you think?" Are you mad at me?" After saying that, he raised his hand and slapped Shen Hui across the face.
Li Yundong on the side was secretly angry. He raised his hand, grabbed the raised arm of the third concubine, and said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Zheng, if you have something to say, why do you hit someone?"
Although the third aunt was unhappy, what does it have to do with me to discipline my daughter? But she also knew that the boy in front of her was no small matter. If it weren't for him, the Shen family would never be like this, and she would be even less likely to fight. Destroy Li Xiaoxian.
The third aunt quickly put a smile on her face and said: "Mr. Li, you don't know that our family Shen You used to be too lax in discipline, so now it has become like this. Although I am not Shen You's biological mother, I have children like this in my family." I am also very heartbroken about the incident! You said, if I don’t strictly discipline my daughter, how can I do it? Beating means kissing and scolding means loving, and a filial son will emerge from under the stick. Only now do I understand this sentence. !If I had understood earlier and told Xiaoxian earlier, Shen You would not have embarked on such a path of no return...Oh, it's all my fault!"
As she said this, she couldn't help but raise her hand to wipe her moist eyes.
Shen Hui on the side also cried with her, holding her hand and crying softly: "Mom, I will be obedient. Don't worry, I will be filial to you."
Li Yundong saw that what she said was emotional and reasonable, but when he thought about it carefully, almost every word between the lines was directed at Li Xiaoxian, criticizing others and adding insult to injury.
Li Yundong glanced at her meaningfully, secretly displeased in his heart, but he also knew that it was difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, and he did not want to get involved in the Shen family's household affairs. Li Yundong just nodded to Shen Wancai and asked: " Mr. Shen, what happened to Mrs. Li today has something to do with me. Although she has made mistakes, her mistakes are not worth her death. I want to give her another chance. Do you think that's okay?"
Shen Wancai sighed deeply, and said to Li Yundong: "Master Li, can you take a moment to speak?"
Li Yundong nodded and followed Shen Wancai to a nearby study. As soon as he entered the door, Shen Wancai said in a deep voice: "Master Li, you must be blaming me in your heart, saying that I am unreasonable, mean and unkind. , right? "
Li Yundong has always been an upright person. He did not refute, and simply nodded and said: "That's right! After all, he is the person who has lived with you for more than 20 years!"
Shen Wancai smiled bitterly, stretched out his hand to signal Li Yundong to sit down, and sat down slowly. He leaned tiredly on the back of the chair and said with all his fatigue: "Master Li, to tell you the truth, back then you When you saved me, I was like a mirror in my mind about what Xiaoxian had done. If you hadn't saved me at that time, I was afraid that I would have been killed by her. But at that time, I saw that she was about to sink after all her hard work. For the sake of bringing you up, I thought: No one can make mistakes. As long as I know my mistakes and can correct them, I will treat it as if I have never been born."
"But... you also know what happened next. It took a day to freeze three feet. Speaking of which, You'er will become such a surly and reckless person. Xiaoxian and I both have unshirkable responsibilities!"
Shen Wancai said slowly: "Of course, this is not the reason why I want to push Xiaoxian to death. It's because Xiaoxian hates me in her heart! She only wants to die in front of me and make me regret it for the rest of my life. , giving me no peace of mind for the rest of my life!”
Li Yundong frowned and said, "But, I heard from Shen Hui that you won't let anyone find a doctor for Mrs. Li?"
Shen Wancai laughed loudly, raised his head, and looked at Li Yundong meaningfully: "Master Li, you also saw what my youngest said just now... Hey, there is something in the words! This is really one wave after another! Mr. Li, think about it from my perspective. Now I only have Hui'er who can inherit the family business, and she has such a scheming mother. You She said that if I pass the family business to her, and one day I am really old, or I am no longer here, will she be instigated by her mother and do something that is unbearable to hear? "
Li Yundong was stunned and suddenly realized: "So, are you testing Shen Hui?"
Shen Wancai nodded solemnly: "Yes! If she can really make up her mind not to save Xiaoxian, then I would rather distribute my family property to charities in the future than pass it on to her!"
Li Yundong sighed: "This family of yours...is really difficult to manage!"
Shen Wancai smiled bitterly: "That's why I came up with the idea of pursuing the Tao... Mr. Li, I know that you are a Taoist master, and I am so devout to the Tao, why don't you accept me as a disciple? Yes. Do you still hold grudge against Su Chan in your heart?"
Li Yundong shook his head and said: "No, this matter has passed. The reason why I don't accept you as a disciple, Mr. Shen, is because you haven't answered me yet: Why do you practice Taoism?"
Shen Wancai stood up at this time, pushed the golden mountain and fell the jade pillar, and knelt down on the ground. He said: "Master Li, I heard that in the Western Han Dynasty, Liu An, the king of Huainan, was devoted to Taoism. One day, he heard that there was an immortal man. His name was Hachigong, and he had the secret recipe for refining the elixir, but he never passed it on to others, so he went to look for Hachigong. Unexpectedly, Hachigong was wandering around, and Liu An couldn't find Hachigong despite all the hardships. But Liu An still couldn't find Hachigong. After searching wholeheartedly, Liu An's sincerity finally moved Hachigong. One day, Hachigong came to Liu An's house and taught him the method of refining the elixir. He also told him that after the elixir was made, he could ascend to heaven and become an immortal after eating it. .”
"Liu An practiced devoutly and quietly every day, and later he actually refined the elixir. And just after he took the elixir and ascended to immortality, the chickens and dogs in his family ate the residue of the elixir he refined, and they also ascended to the level with Liu An. Fairy."
Shen Wancai's gray head trembled slightly, and he said excitedly: "Master Li, the first time I saw you, I knew that you were definitely not a mortal, and that you would have great careers and great achievements in the future. Only later did I know , It turns out that Mr. Li, you are a wonderful person in this world who possesses the magic of gods. I, Shen Wancai, know that my fortune is shallow. I don’t seek to cultivate amazing magical powers, nor do I seek to become a world-famous master. I only seek to live a long life. It’s only years old! Mr. Li, if you ask me why I practice Taoism, my answer is..."
As he spoke, he knocked his head deeply: "I just want to be a chicken or dog that ascends to heaven!"
