Chapter 128 dropped a bombshell on everyone.
"Hmm, does our darling have any good ideas?" Shen Jinzhu and Yu Kangjing both looked over.
“Why don’t we just let Second Uncle go?” Yu Ningyao replied confidently.
If you can't resolve the conflict, then resolve the person who created it.
No problem.
"Huh?" Yu Kangjing and his wife were stunned.
What does the youngest daughter mean by this?
“Didn’t my second uncle say he was possessed by a ghost? I think he should go to the temple and chant some sutras with the monks to exorcise the evil spirits,” Yu Ningyao blinked.
Yu Kangjing and Shen Jinzhu exchanged a glance.
Suddenly I realized this method seemed pretty good.
If my second brother didn't stay at home and went to the temple to cultivate himself, he might be able to calm his mind and return to normal.
"You're always full of tricks." Yu Kangjing pointed a finger at her forehead.
"I just wanted to calm my second uncle down. My third and seventh brothers are so pitiful." Yu Ningyao snuggled into her mother's arms.
Upon hearing this, Yu Kangjing and Shen Jinzhu both sighed.
Of course.
The two children are in such a terrible state now, it's truly a tragedy.
Yu Kangjing went to Yu Kangping and mentioned this suggestion to him.
Yu Kangping seemed to be deep in thought.
Sending the second son to the temple to pray for their parents is a good reason.
With him gone, the second wife will probably be able to settle down.
“Okay, we’ll do it your way.” Yu Kangping nodded and went to find Yu Kangnian himself.
"Your father and mother have passed away. Go to the temple to pray for them. Come back in two months after the New Year."
“Over the years, you’ve spent the least amount of time with your parents. Now that they’re gone, you should spend more time with them.”
Just as Yu Kangnian was about to refuse, he heard Yu Kangping continue, "I've already suppressed the matter of your divorce. Lie'er and Xi'er are now afraid of you as their father. Why don't you go out and lay low for a while, and then come back and the family can be reunited?"
Upon hearing Yu Kangping's words, Yu Kangnian remained silent for a moment before agreeing.
He told Aunt Rong and the two children that he was going to the temple to pray for the old Marquis and his wife.
In the past, they would have been reluctant to let him go and would have urged him to stay.
Now, no one is trying to persuade him to stay.
Yu Kangnian felt very disappointed and finally packed his things.
left.
After he left, the Marquis's residence returned to peace.
The eldest son's wife also kept a low profile and did not cause any trouble.
Chunque also gave birth to a daughter during this period, whom Yu Kangping named Danying.
Because they were in mourning, they didn't hold a full-month celebration, and the month passed by quietly.
On New Year's Eve, Yu Kangnian, who had been meditating in the temple, returned and dropped a bombshell on everyone.
"I want to become a monk."
"What?" Everyone looked at each other in surprise, not expecting him to say such a thing.
"During these days of praying for my father and mother, I deeply felt that worldly prosperity is like fleeting clouds, and fame and fortune are ultimately illusions. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the world, only the tranquil place of Buddhism can bring me peace of mind."
Yu Kangnian's originally violent appearance has softened considerably.
"Second brother, have you really thought this through?" Yu Kangjing hadn't expected that his suggestion was just to get his second brother away so that Lie'er and Xi'er could have an easier time.
I never imagined he would actually become a monk.
Yu Kangnian said calmly, "Third brother, rest assured, this is not an impulsive act. From now on, I am willing to cultivate and comprehend the Dao in the mountains and ancient temples. I have long forgotten the past."
Yu Kangping was also dumbfounded.
But he didn't seem to care.
My half-brother is gone, that's all.
"Alright, it's good that you've thought it through." He nodded.
Yu Kangnian put his hands together and said, "Master Liaochen said that my six senses are not yet purified and my worldly ties are not yet severed. Today, on New Year's Eve, he let me go home to say goodbye to my family. After this reunion dinner, from now on, there will be no more Yu Kangnian in the world, only Huijing."
Yu Zixi tugged at her brother's sleeve, somewhat puzzled.
"Brother, what does Father mean by that? Does it mean he'll never come back?"
Yu Zilie nodded, feeling a mix of emotions.
He felt fear and apprehension when his father was around.
He felt a pang of reluctance when his father said he would never come back.
From then on, he truly had no father.
"Does that mean we'll become children without fathers or mothers in the future?" Yu Zixi pouted.
The room was quiet, so his words seemed rather abrupt.
Everyone heard it and looked directly at him.
"What are you afraid of? Your third uncle and I are still here. As long as we're here, we won't let anyone bully you two brothers," Yu Kangping said with a stern face.
“That’s right, we’re here too.” Yu Kangjing nodded.
Then he looked at Yu Kangping: "Brother, since our second brother is going to become a monk, why don't we just divide the family property while he's still here today?"
"How dare you! On New Year's Eve, during the Spring Festival, you say such things. Are you trying to break my heart?" Yu Kangping was furious.
Cui Ruixin, who was standing to the side, frowned slightly.
She hasn't finished getting her revenge yet.
The old Marquis and his wife are dead, but Chen Dongxi and Yu Ningyao are still alive.
If the third wife moves out of the Marquis's mansion, how will she make a move?
“Brother, I don’t mean to upset you. It’s just that dividing the family is inevitable. Today, while Second Brother is still here, we can discuss it, can’t we?” Yu Kangjing said sincerely.
He and his wife discussed the matter of dividing the family property for a long time.
Originally, he planned to discuss it after the New Year, but his second brother suddenly pulled this stunt, so he simply moved the matter forward as well.
It would be inappropriate if the family were to split up later, with the second brother gone and only the two younger brothers remaining.
Yu Kangping wanted to retort, but Yu Kangnian suddenly spoke up as well.
"Eldest brother, I agree with what third brother said, let's divide the family property. That way I can leave without any worries."
"I think you don't even want me to have a family reunion dinner," Yu Kangping said angrily, slamming down his chopsticks.
But in the end, they couldn't persuade Yu Kangnian and Yu Kangjing, and agreed that they would invite the clan elders to divide the family property after the Lantern Festival.
With the news of the family division confirmed, everyone in the three branches of the family was overjoyed.
The two children from the second wife were somewhat anxious.
If my third uncle and aunt move out, will they be bullied if they stay at home?
During this meal, everyone at the table had their own thoughts on the matter.
……
We've finished our New Year's Eve dinner.
Yu Zilie was leading Yu Zixi back to their own courtyard when Yu Ningyao called out to them.
"Third brother, seventh brother, come play with us!"
Yu Zilie hesitated for a moment, but Yu Zixi ran over without hesitation.
He had a very good relationship with all the children from the third wife's family.
He couldn't bear to part with them.
Yu Zilie watched his younger brother run off, thought for a moment, and then followed him.
Upon arriving at the third house's courtyard, the children started a snowball fight.
Shen Jinzhu handed him a new hat.
"Thank you, Auntie." Yu Zilie hadn't expected to receive a New Year's gift.
"No need to thank me, this was made by your mother herself, and she asked me to give it to you," Shen Jinzhu replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Yu Zilie felt a lump in his throat.
He misses his mother so much.
Just as his tears were about to fall, Shen Jinzhu's words made him raise his head in disbelief.
"By the way, would you like to live with your mother?"
