Chapter 259 One Thought Heaven, One Thought Hell

Waaah! Godfather, what's wrong? I've reheated the vegetable porridge that Zhuzhu made for you. Please eat some!

I noticed you didn't eat much at lunch! And you only ate a few bites in the evening. Are you feeling unwell?

That's why...

After hearing Yuqin's questions, the old abbot waved his hand at her and then forcefully pulled the blanket covering him up.

Godfather, are you feeling cold now? Should I ask one of the other little monks to get your quilt from the cupboard?

When the old abbot heard Yuqin ask her this question, he waved his hand at Yuqin. But he didn't say another word to her!

Godfather, why don't you talk to me when I ask you questions? Why do you keep waving your hand at me instead?

Is it because Grandma and the old abbot are unable to speak that they are like this? Moreover, I observed the old abbot very carefully during dinner.

He doesn't seem to have any appetite at all! Is it because the weather has been too hot lately?

Godfather, I brought some more plum juice that I made myself! Would you like me to make you a bowl to try?

The old abbot did not answer Yuqin's question, but instead opened his eyes and looked around.

There, she saw her orange cat lying quietly and obediently beside her. So she laboriously raised her hand, wanting to stroke Laifu's little head again.

Unexpectedly, the old abbot's raised hand slammed heavily onto the bed. Upon seeing this, Yuqin quickly placed the old abbot's hand in her own palm.

She gently rubbed the spot where the old abbot had hit her, and a single, crystal-clear tear silently rolled down Yuqin's face.

Godfather, are you sick? Is that why you're like this?

Maybe, maybe...

Maybe what? Are you hiding something from me? Tell me!

Perhaps the old abbot is about to pass away! That's why he's like this! Because during this period he hasn't wanted to eat and hasn't eaten for many days.

Ah! How could this happen? Didn't any of you try to persuade our godfather to eat? Since this has happened, why didn't you go to the Yang residence to tell me?

We initially wanted to do the same! But recently, a very powerful owner came to our Guanyin Temple.

He wouldn't let us have any contact with outsiders! And he even called in a lot of men in black to guard us.

Yuqin frowned when she heard the little monk say this, because she probably already knew who the little monk was talking about.

But one thing she couldn't understand was that all these years he had only been interested in investing in shops, so why was he now working as a business owner at the Guanyin Temple?

Wait a minute! Weren't all the expenses for the Guanyin Temple previously covered by our Yang family? When did the Xia family start paying for them?

As Yuqin asked the little monk this question, she gently stroked Laifu with her hand, but she couldn't help but think of Xiao Furong.

I wonder what the little guy is doing in the Yang residence right now? Has Long'er already put it to sleep?

Haha! This little guy is so spoiled these days! He can only fall asleep if someone holds him in their arms.

Otherwise, he'll keep barking and we'll start to wonder if we've spoiled him.

But ever since the little guy pooped on Long'er's rattan chair, Long'er has never let the little guy sleep in his bed again.

Instead, we let it sleep in the little basket that Long'er prepared for it. Before, the little guy would obediently stay in the little cage. But now, as soon as we put the little guy in the little basket, it immediately jumps out of the little basket.

Madam, could you please think of a way to help our Guanyin Temple overcome its current difficulties?

Oh! Our Guanyin Temple is doing just fine now, isn't it? What difficulties do you have that you need my help with?

There are many things you don't know, madam! Although our Guanyin Temple looks quite stylish on the surface, we can rely on that person named Emperor Xia.

But what you don't know is that many times, the monks and nuns living in the Guanyin Temple have had their freedom restricted by him.

Haha! Isn't this because you're too greedy for money? What does it matter to me that the Xia Emperor has restricted your freedom?

Madam, I know that you and your younger sister were raised by the abbot from childhood to adulthood.

Haha! Are you saying that now that I have the ability, I should contribute to the Guanyin Temple?

The little monk nodded quickly upon hearing what Yuqin said.

Yes, yes! Our Madam Yang is truly a woman of great wisdom! I feel very comfortable talking to you.

Haha! Don't you think you're flattering me? I always thought Guanyin Temple was a very peaceful place.

There won't be any junior monks currying favor with those in power for their own benefit! Besides, don't you all have people who ask money from the worshippers who come to the Guanyin Temple to offer incense?

Is the money given to you by the worshippers not enough for you to maintain your daily life? Or do you want to ask some very wealthy people for more?

Upon hearing this, the little monk immediately shook his hands and head.

No! No! No! We didn't mean that, please don't think that way. Besides, we Buddhists have a saying: "Greed is hell."

Yes, yes, yes! Second Brother, you are absolutely right. The old abbot often taught us to keep this in mind at all times.

Senior sister, since we all know this statement, how could we possibly make such a small mistake?

Little master! Little master! You must not listen to those young monks talking nonsense! If all those who study Buddhism followed the teachings as these young monks said...

Then our beautiful Western Paradise will have many living Bodhisattvas! And there will be no terrible hell in this world!

Haha! I've always had a question, but I don't know if I can ask you?

What's wrong? Why have you forgotten about me again lately? It seems like you only remember me when you need something, right?

Yeah, yeah! I think even if I had a system as good as yours, I shouldn't use it all the time. Because I think a truly mature person shouldn't be overly dependent on others.

But Zhuzhu, you've been separated from your uncle and two younger sisters for so long! Aren't you worried about their situation at all?

Haha! Didn't I just see my uncle? Did something bad happen to him?

His thigh was stabbed hard with a short knife, and he bled a lot.

Oh! How could this happen? Can you tell me if my uncle accidentally offended someone?
