Chapter 19 Chapter 19 His Majesty the King of Hell who delivers takeout.
While waiting for Lin Yujing to deliver the fish, You Yunyi casually posted the situation of old lady No. 006's family after her death on the Zhiyin Wall, although No. 006 didn't say she wanted to see it.
"Your daughter-in-law was already unhappy with your son for not sharing the housework, and she felt exhausted from arguing with him. Unexpectedly, your son didn't communicate or reflect on his actions, but instead ran back home and hid."
"She never expected to learn of your death just a few days later, a suicide by drinking pesticide. At the funeral, she saw your father still railing against you, and your son agreeing with his father. She felt so cold and decided to divorce him."
You Yunyi looked at the Zhiyin Wall and spoke slowly. Old lady No. 006 also looked at the picture on the wall, a little dazed.
"Your son initially disagreed, but seeing your daughter-in-law was so insistent and even said that in front of relatives, he felt a little embarrassed. So, believing your daughter-in-law would regret it, he agreed to the divorce and waited for her to 'change her mind' and come back to beg him."
"But your son didn't expect your ex-daughter-in-law to be living well after the divorce. On the contrary, his quality of life has declined significantly. Moreover, he used to be able to return to his parents' home and become a prince. After your death, your old man will have trouble cooking for himself, let alone serving his son. The two of them have had a rare quarrel because of this..."
No. 006 looked at the Zhiyin Wall and saw the argument between her old man and her son.
The old man, wearing untidy clothes, cursed: "I'm already so old, and you still want your father to take care of you? Raising a son is a way to take care of you in your old age. I raised you to this age, and now you can't even cook a meal for your father. What's the use of you!"
Her son irritably replied, "How would I find the time to cook for you if I stopped working? Besides, you raised your son to provide for your old age? Why are you so utilitarian? Dad, don't say I don't care about you. Didn't I tell you that you can live with me, but you can't just be the emperor at home all day? I want you to do the grocery shopping, cook, and clean, but you're the one who accused me of being unfilial and refused to come with me!"
The old man was furious: "How dare you say that? Why didn't you say you didn't plan to give me money? You want me to use my own coffin money to serve you? Do you think your father is sick? I don't have no house myself!"
"Who is sick? If you hadn't scolded my mother and made her angry to death, would you be like this now? You can't even wash your own clothes. Look at how dirty you are. And this house is a mess like a garbage dump. How can I have the nerve to bring home a new girlfriend in the future?" The son said righteously.
The old man glared at him: "Oh, you despise your father for being dirty? Then why don't you learn from other filial sons and buy your father a washing machine and hire a servant, and everything will be clean! You useless ungrateful bastard, you're such a grown man and you still despise your father? I should have burned you in the stove when you were born!"
"You even burned me. How could you bear to do that? My mother has already told me that you were crazy about having a son at that time. It was you who were eager for me to be born, not me who begged you to come!" The son looked at her with disdain.
Then he said shamelessly, "Dad, don't criticize other people's sons. I don't mind that you're not as rich as other people's parents. If you and my mom had money, I would have become a second-generation rich! Do you still need me to buy you a washing machine and hire a nanny? You have plenty of money, so you don't need to rely on me!"
The old man was so angry at his son's sharp tongue that he grabbed a broom from the corner and hit his son with it.
The son quickly hid: "Dad! You are disrespectful to your elders. You hit people when you can't win the argument. How can you be like this! My mom used to spoil you too much, didn't she? I'm not like her..."
"How dare you mention your mother! What did you say just now? I pissed your mother off to death? You ungrateful bastard, how dare you say that! Your mother and I have been through this for so many years, she's used to me talking like that. To be frank, it's all your fault! You didn't speak up for her at the time, you thought she ate too much and you ate less, you hurt her heart!"
The old man stood there panting, holding onto the broom. "And that... She drank pesticide at the time. I'm too old to react, and you, a young man, didn't know how to stop her. I think you should be thrown in jail! You bastard, you watched your own mother die right in front of you and didn't do anything! Xiaoli deserves to divorce you!"
"Xiaoli divorced me because you made her angry! Dad, I didn't want to bring up the past with you, but why are you so unreasonable! When my mother died, Xiaoli stopped arguing with me and came to keep vigil for my mother. But you insisted on saying bad things about my mother in front of her. She wanted to divorce me because she was afraid that I would be as conscienceless as you! You killed your wife and caused your son to get divorced. You should reflect on yourself!" the son shouted.
The old man picked up the broom and threw it fiercely at his son: "Asshole! You bastard! If you weren't so useless, would your wife have divorced you? I shouldn't have felt sorry for you in the first place. If I didn't feel sorry for you, I wouldn't have lectured your mother about eating too much meat. If your mother was still alive and well, I wouldn't have become like this. The last time your uncle saw me, he said I was too skinny! I've lost all my face!"
The son kicked the broom away and said, "Bullshit! Don't I know you, Dad? You're just worried about the meat and don't want to give it to Mom. My poor Mom has worked so hard with you all her life, and now she's old and eats two more pieces of meat and you still scold her. That damn paraquat is just something you bought and didn't use up! You should be thrown in jail!"
As the father and son argued, they unexpectedly reached a consensus on one issue - it was such a pity that the old woman died after drinking pesticides!
Now that she was dead, neither of them had anyone who was willing to work hard and patiently to serve them!
Old woman No. 006 watched her husband and son quarreling and murmured, "They used to have a deep affection for each other and never quarreled. But now they're quarreling... and they're making a fool of themselves."
"Alas... Xiaoli is a good girl. I used to think my son must have been lucky to marry such a good wife, but he's useless and drove her away... It's better to get a divorce, otherwise the old man will definitely want her to serve him like a slave. When my son and Xiaoli first got married, the old man wanted Xiaoli to quit her job and return home, saying it was only natural for a daughter-in-law to serve her parents-in-law..."
Hearing this, the ghosts in front of the big screen of the underworld live broadcast sneered and mocked:
"The old man has some beautiful ideas. His son is not willing to serve him, and he even wants to kidnap his daughter-in-law."
"I'm still so angry. This father and son, especially the old man, have enjoyed being served for so many years. Now that the old woman is gone, they don't want to work, so they look a little miserable. But the old woman is dead, which is obviously more miserable!"
"Although my former daughter-in-law chose the wrong man and married the son of this family, fortunately they are divorced now. She didn't have to endure the same hardship as the old woman did."
"Many people already suffer a lot in life, and yet they insist on enduring even more unnecessary suffering. Isn't that a disease?"
"The old servant is gone, and the father and son, who were so close, are now arguing. The old man is clearly hopeless in his later years, and he deserves it! I just hope his son can't find a new partner and doesn't harm other women."
…
You Yunyi didn't respond to the mumbling of old lady No. 006. He leaned on the sofa in a daze until he suddenly felt something and sat up - Lin Yujing was here.
When Lin Yujing suddenly appeared in the extradition office with the things You Yunyi had asked him for, the audience in the live broadcast room were stunned.
"Wow, this is amazing! Even though everyone is dead, I've only seen ghost messengers walking around in the underworld. This is the first time I've seen one that can appear out of thin air. Can ordinary ghosts like us do this?"
"Don't tell me this guy who just showed up is a delivery guy! Are the extradition department's delivery guys really that demanding in appearance?"
"Why are you still dressed in ancient costume? I don't think other ghost messengers are so retro. Mr. You is also dressed very modernly."
"So handsome... Hey, Mr. Ghost Messenger, is this guy really the food delivery guy in the underworld? It seems like such a waste of talent!"
Hearing this, the ghost messenger who happened to be unbusy and watching the live broadcast nearby was silent for a few seconds, then said with emotion: "...Mr. You is probably the only one in the underworld who dares to ask His Majesty the King of Hell to deliver food."
After hearing this, the ghosts in the audience were stunned for a moment, and were collectively silent for a few seconds, and then they exclaimed in shock.
"This is the King of Hell!"
"So young and so handsome?"
"I see Meng Po often changes from a little girl to an old woman. Maybe she can adjust her age to the outside world?"
"Damn, is Mr. You really that powerful? He can even summon the King of Hell!"
"No wonder. When I heard Mr. You talk about the King of Hell before, I felt that he didn't seem to be as respected as other ghost officials. I thought it was just my illusion at the time."
"I'm really curious about the ghost messengers and officials in the underworld. For example, how is the King of Hell chosen..."
"I'm so envious. The fish His Majesty brought is still alive and kicking. It looks so fresh. I want to eat it too..."
"Hahaha, Mr. You, are you planning to let old lady No. 006 cook fish by herself in the extradition office?"
You Yunyi did plan to do so, anyway he could just continue killing time during the live broadcast.
He asked Lin Yujing to put the fish, seasonings, and kitchen utensils on the largely unused desk in the office. He then handed a mirror to Old Lady No. 006 and said, "Use this to make a fire and use it as a stove. Just put it under the pot and you can cook it yourself."
Old lady No. 006 was a little overwhelmed holding the mirror: "Ah, I... do I do it here by myself?"
You Yunyi nodded: "Take your time, there's no rush. Once it's done, enjoy it slowly."
He originally thought that something went wrong with No. 005 today, and in order to make up the live broadcast time, he would have to meet at least No. 007. Unexpectedly, there was just enough time to waste with No. 006, which really saved him a lot of trouble.
No. 006 went to cook the fish. You Yunyi leaned on the lazy sofa and looked at Lin Yujing, who had not left yet. He asked slowly, "Your Majesty, would you like to say hello to the audience?"
Lin Yujing chuckled and raised her hand to ruffle You Yunyi's hair: "Then I'll leave."
Then he disappeared into the extradition office.
The audience ghosts were stunned by the intimate behavior between the two.
The ghost officials were very calm - it was just an office romance, no need to make a fuss.
