Father is a villainous Buddhist disciple? He'll just be beaten into the light of the righteous

Shen Jiyuan was aware that he was called "Buddha's Son".

On the contrary, he enjoyed it for a long time.

After all, such a title can indeed prove that he has no desires and can also hide the filth and depravity in the deepest part of his heart.

He used to numb himself like this, using Buddhism to bury his desires deep within.

But for some reason, ever since Shen Ji returned to this home, he kept repeating the title of "Buddha's Son," stabbing him in the lungs and cursing him, revealing all the unbearable desires in his heart... He seemed to be liberated.

Now, upon hearing the title "Buddha's Son" again, Shen Jiyuan no longer feels calm and indifferent; instead, he feels endless embarrassment.

This is so embarrassing.

Especially when his own mother called him that, he wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

He coughed lightly, wiped his face, and, suppressing his embarrassment, called out in a low voice, "Mom."

"It really is true." His father's voice came through the phone, followed by a teasing tone, "Hey, young master, what brings you to call us today?"

"You've stopped chanting scriptures and worshipping Buddha?"

Shen Jiyuan: "..."

His lips twitched. "Can't I just quit being a layman?"

Madam Shen's voice came again, "What is it? Speak quickly, I'm busy."

Shen Jiyuan frowned. "What could you possibly be busy with?"

"I have a pure suit of pairs and three kongs," Madam Shen snorted. "If you prevent me from winning, I'll let you win today!"

Shen Jiyuan: "..."

He took a deep breath and then said, "Mom, do you still remember the betrothal Grandma arranged for me with the Zhao family?"

Madam Shen was taken aback. "What? You already have a son, and you still want to marry someone else?"

"You scumbag! How did I raise you since you were a child?"

"I disagree!"

"Whether you like it or not, she gave birth to your son, so you have to take responsibility for the mother of my eldest grandson!"

"Of course, if she has ulterior motives, that's a different story."

"But our eldest grandson was just found, wasn't it a bit too early for you to be thinking about getting married now?"

Shen Jiyuan rubbed his temples. "What are you talking about? I mean, after the Zhao family woman found out I had a son, she said she wanted to break off our engagement and asked me to return the jade bracelet that her grandmother had left her."

Do you know where the jade bracelet is?

"Oh," said Madam Shen, "It's kept at the old house. You can go back and get it yourself."

Shen Jiyuan asked, "Aren't you going to come back yet?"

"Don't rush me, let me tell you," Madam Shen said impatiently. "I had Uncle Liu leave a gift and a card at the old house. There's ten million on the card, which I'll consider as a gift for my eldest grandson and daughter-in-law."

"Sigh~"

"You know, Mom is a socially awkward person."

"I'm afraid I won't get along with my daughter-in-law and will disturb your romance."

"Besides, Mom's health isn't good, and her spirits aren't good either... cough cough... she might be buried in two years. Can you bear to see her worry about you?"

Shen Jiyuan: "..."

"It's a win! Hahahaha, give me the money, give me the money, give me the money! Old Shen, hurry up and collect the money! My golden right hand isn't just for show, I'm a gambling king reborn, hahahaha!"

"Cough cough cough..." Madam Shen's voice suddenly became weak again, "Mom's arms and legs are getting old, and I can't take care of my eldest grandson anymore. My dear son, why don't you get a new mom?"

Shen Jiyuan: "..."

Mrs. Shen thought for a moment and then said, "Oh, you'll have to change your father. You know, Old Shen and I once swore an oath: 'Until the mountains crumble and the heavens and earth unite, I will never part from you.' We will hold hands and grow old together."

"Our bond is unbreakable!"

"So, don't just think about changing your mom; you changed your dad too..."

Shen Jiyuan, unable to bear it any longer, slammed down the phone.

Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Mr. Shen, who was helping her draw cards, and said, "That's great, he hung up the phone, we don't have to go back to take care of our grandson."

Mr. Shen calmly replied, "Yes, skip the card."

Madam Shen smiled gracefully, "Sisters, let's continue!"

Shen Ji and Shang Yao were left in the living room, neither of them speaking, looking like two little figurines.

Chen Yang found it amusing, so he turned on the TV for them to watch cartoons while he went to the kitchen to make snacks for the two children.

After watching for a while, Shen Ji suddenly turned to look at Shang Yao, "Peony, are you taking a dump?"

Shang Yao: "..."

He glanced away speechlessly, ignoring the lunatic.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Ji turned his head back to watch the cartoon.

A moment later, he turned to look at Shang Yao again, "Peony, are you peeing?"

Shang Yao: "..."

Shang Yao still ignored him.

Shen Ji pouted and continued watching cartoons. After a while, he turned back and asked, "Peony, have you eaten?"

Shang Yao still ignored him.

Shen Ji smacked his lips and continued watching the cartoon. After a while, he turned to look at Shang Yao, "Peony, you..."

Shang Yao's forehead veins throbbed, and he snapped, unable to contain himself any longer, "Shut up! You're the peony! Your whole family are peonies!"

Shen Ji blinked and shouted upstairs, "Daddy, Daddy~~ Peony scolded you! She said you're a good-for-nothing, the whole family is a good-for-nothing~~"

Shang Yao: "..."

His face turned pale, and his head buzzed from Shen Ji's shout.

Before she could think, she lunged forward and covered Shen Ji's mouth. "You...you...you're lying! I didn't say that!"

Shen Ji swiftly broke free from his grasp, put her hands on her hips, and asked, "Then do you take a dump?"

Shang Yao: "..."

He hesitated for a long time, then finally gritted his teeth and said, "...No."

"Very good." Shen Ji nodded, showing he was a promising child. "Good doggy... oops, good baby, from now on, when adults ask you questions, children are not allowed to remain silent, understand?"

Shang Yao: "..."

I really want to punch him to death.

Shen Ji then asked, "So, do you pee?"

Shang Yao turned his face away.

Shen Ji yelled again, "Dad, Shaoyao said you're a deadbeat simp, a love-struck idiot, a mentally challenged lunatic!"

Shang Yao shouted angrily, "No! I won't pee!"

Shen Ji snorted, "Isn't it talking?" After a pause, he asked again, "Peony, have you eaten?"

Shang Yao's small chest was practically bursting with anger; he clenched his fists and said, "I won't eat!"

"How can a child not eat?"

Shen Ji walked up to him like an older brother, stood on tiptoe and patted his shoulder, "If you don't eat, you won't grow tall, and you won't be able to get a wife in the future."

Shang Yao sneered, "I was taller than you when I was three years old!"

Shen Ji clicked his tongue and asked, "So how old are you now?"

Shang Yao paused for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "Six years old."

Shen Ji scoffed, "How tall are you now?"

Shang Yao didn't know what he wanted to do, so he cautiously replied, "130cm."

Shen Ji continued to hum and deceive, "I grew 95cm in three years, while you only grew 130cm in six years. That means you only grew 35cm in these three years. Tell me, what's there to brag about?"

"Rounding up or down, you haven't grown any height in the past three years."

"Oh no, you're not going to grow any taller!"

Shang Yao: "..."

Is that so?

So, it seems that's indeed the case.

His face turned pale instantly. So... so he wouldn't be a dwarf anymore?

The usually 'mature and composed' little adult, Shang Yao, finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears, wailing, "Waaah, Uncle Shen, I want to eat! I want to drink milk! Waaah..."
