Chapter 283 So It Turns Out 【Subscription】
Hearing the child secretly say this on the phone, the woman in the wheelchair next to her burst into tears. She tried her best to turn around and looked out the window, letting the tears flow down... just shaking Lips, digging at the armrest of the wheelchair. She wanted to cry, really wanted to cry, burst into tears! But she can't... She knows that she must not show a weak side in front of her children, or even in front of this society. Once she is weak, admit defeat, and get down, she will no longer have the courage stood up.
Listening to the child's words, Fangzheng's heart felt sore. He said the same thing when he was a child. At that time, Yizhi Temple was too poor, and because he was a monk, Fangzheng basically never ate meat. But once he fell ill and lived in Tan Juguo. Tan Juguo once secretly fed Fangzheng a piece of meat. Now that he thinks about it, he can still recall the smell of meat. Later, he pestered Zen Master Yizhi to eat meat, but he was beaten up. But afterwards, Fangzheng saw Zen Master Yizhi sitting in the backyard crying... From then on, Fangzheng never yelled to eat meat.
As for now, Fangzheng is mainly controlled by the system, and also because he is poor! As for the bunch of truths I told Hong Haier earlier, it was just to keep their mouths shut, otherwise everyone would be clamoring to eat meat, wouldn't life be okay? If you sell him, you can't afford it. The situation with the children is probably the same.
So Fangzheng took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Son, do you know where the meat comes from?"
"I don't know." The little guy said very seriously.
Fangzheng said: "Have you seen chickens, ducklings, and puppies?"
"I've seen it before, it's so cute." The little guy said.
Fangzheng said: "The meat is cut from them. Do you think it hurts when the meat is cut?"
"It hurts..." the little guy said.
Fangzheng said: "Yes, do you have the heart to let them hurt?"
"I... I... the baby doesn't eat meat anymore." The little guy said.
When Fangzheng heard this, his heart felt sour, and he said, "Does your mother always feed you cabbage?"
"Yeah, mom goes to the morning market every morning. Take me there. A lot of uncles and aunts who sell vegetables have torn up the vegetables and threw them on the ground. They are piled up there for us to take. People are very good." said the guy.
Fangzheng was silent again, this is not a good family, Fangzheng has seen this kind of hawker before, especially before winter, when the Northeast is storing Chinese cabbage, many hawkers bring a truckload of Chinese cabbage for buyers to choose. And buyers often tear off the bad, wilted, and rotten vegetable leaves outside and throw them away. This pile can pile up a lot. No one wants this kind of dish, and the child and his mother are probably picking up this kind of dish!
Fangzheng knew that the situation of these two people was probably very, very bad, but without money, how could they afford to live in the hospital?
At this moment, a female voice sounded: "Baby, it's late, go to sleep. I'll talk to Dad tomorrow, and Mom will talk to Dad, okay?"
"Okay, for mom. The baby is so happy today. The baby has a father, not a child without a father, haha..." The little guy was very happy, and handed the phone to the woman.
The woman didn't talk to Fangzheng, but hung up the phone directly. Listening to the busy voice, Fangzheng sighed, with mixed feelings in his heart. He always felt that his life was hard enough. Looking at it now, he had crystal rice to eat, clean water to drink, and a monastery to live in. , wearing a moon-white monk's robe, neither cold in winter nor hot in summer, the sufferings of the world really have nothing to do with him.
But some people fell into the world of mortals, suffering endless pain and could not be rescued...
Fangzheng didn't know why, and returned to the Buddhist hall again. This time, the scriptures he recited were neither the Diamond Sutra nor the Lotus Sutra, but the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Fundamental Vow Sutra.
The night passed peacefully, the moon set and the sun rose, and a new day began again.
The monkey sweeps the floor, Fangzheng cleans the Buddhist hall, the red boy cooks, the squirrel makes snacks, and the lone wolf collects firewood. Everything seems to be the same as usual. If there is, it means that there are three more incense sticks in the temple. Yes, the mountain road was completely repaired today, the construction team had already left, Liu Tao ran back and lit a stick of incense, leaving behind 200 incense sticks, then the other party had something to do and bowed and saluted before leaving.
With the departure of the construction team, Yizhi Mountain became quiet again. Fangzheng had breakfast and left the temple. He looked at the brand-new steps, stroked the handrails on both sides, and muttered to himself, "If you want to be rich, , build the road first, now the road is there, what about the rich?"
At this moment, the mobile phone rang. Fangzheng saw that it was indeed a child calling. Until now, Fangzheng didn't know what the child's name was. There was nothing he could do. It was hard for Fangzheng to ask. It's easy to wear clothes!
After Fangzheng picked up the phone, before Fangzheng could speak, the voices of tired women came from the opposite side, with deep apologies: "I'm sorry."
Fangzheng was stunned, and said: "Amitabha, where did the benefactor come from?"
"It turned out to be a master, I'm sorry, my child has caused you trouble during this time, and thank you for the happiness you brought him last night." The woman's voice was deeply tired.
Fangzheng said: "Amitabha, the benefactor is polite, the child is a good boy, and the poor monk just wants to make him happy." Then he asked curiously: "Female benefactor, can you tell me why you did this? "
"Hey... this kid is naughty, and I can't help it. His father was an anti-narcotics policeman. He died in an arrest operation a few years ago. He is the pride of the child, the god of the child, I'm afraid the child will know I can’t bear it after the truth. So I haven’t told him all the time. He has been sick recently, but it’s not serious, but this kid insists on seeing his father, and won’t take medicine if he can’t see him. I'm busy, I'm defending my country, I can't come back.
But the child still didn't do it and wanted to listen to his father's voice.
I had no choice but to do a lot of things at the time, so I made up a random number and told him to let him take the medicine with peace of mind. Who would have thought that he secretly used my mobile phone to make a call..." The woman choked up a little when she said this, a woman supports a family, for her husband and children, she must hide it, and she must use her thin shoulders to support her. Starting this family, the pain and tiredness in it are not physical, but spiritual.
"Master, I'm sorry, I really didn't expect things to develop to this point." The woman said.
Fangzheng sighed and said, "Female benefactor, it's okay, the poor monk likes this well-behaved child. If you need it in the future, the poor monk can pretend to be his father at any time..."
The woman was stunned, and then replied: "Thank you, he fell asleep, that... If it is possible, can it be in the evening? He will take medicine then."
Fangzheng smiled and said, "Amitabha, of course. But, benefactor, are you going to keep it a secret from him? Children will grow up day by day, and a lie will always be a lie. Even a white lie will be exposed sometimes."
