Chapter 115 The Scumbag Father Wants to Become a Monk (1)
"Changqing, are you really that heartless?! Your cousin is getting married, what's wrong with borrowing his house? It's not like he wants your house."
Changqing heard something infuriating as soon as he transmigrated.
In the previous world, he lived in seclusion his whole life, and his later years were very uneventful. He possessed excellent self-control, but upon hearing this sentence, he almost lost his composure.
He looked up and saw an elderly woman sitting opposite him, about fifty years old, with curly hair, staring at him with an incredulous expression.
The original owner's aunt.
She came to borrow the house for her son's wedding.
However, the woman's expression didn't seem like she was asking for a favor; rather, it was as if someone needed something from her, and her arrogant demeanor was quite off-putting.
Seeing that Changqing did not react, the woman became even more impatient.
"Changqing, you're not planning to get married anyway. Your aunt is your closest relative. When you get old, you'll have to rely on your cousin's son to take care of you. What's wrong with borrowing her for your cousin's wedding now?"
Changqing understood.
No wonder they were so self-righteous; it turns out they were planning to take advantage of the original owner's property and make it their own.
The original owner had said he would never get married because of family reasons, but he never expected that this would be remembered.
"Auntie, how could I possibly rely on my cousin's son?"
My cousin isn't even married yet, so it's hard to say whether he'll have a son.
The woman's face hardened.
"So you should support your cousin more. Anyway, you've earned quite a bit of money. Why would you need such a big house by yourself? Lend it to your cousin for his wedding. And when your cousin has a son, you can help raise him. He'll naturally become closer to you!"
puff.
Changqing couldn't help but laugh.
He looked around and saw that the house was indeed nice, probably close to 200 square meters. Although the decoration was simple, it had everything he needed. Even though this wasn't a first-tier city, being able to buy a house like this was definitely a testament to his hard work.
His gaze shifted, and an idea came to him.
"Auntie, tell me, are my cousin and his girlfriend satisfied with this house? Should I spend some more money to make the decoration more festive?"
Let's see just how shameless this woman can be.
"That's more like it." The woman nodded.
"However, I don't know much about renovations, so we'll have to hear your cousin and his girlfriend's opinions. How about this, I'll bring them over tomorrow to take a look, and you can renovate according to their requirements!"
The aunt seemed quite satisfied with what he had just said, and her expression softened considerably.
Goodness.
Changqing exclaimed, "Wow!"
He hadn't seen such a shameless person in a long time.
However, judging from the situation, the shameless ones aren't just the aunt in front of us, but also the cousin and his girlfriend.
Changqing was even a little curious.
So, did my cousin and his girlfriend actually come to look at the house, make requests, and ask him to renovate it?
Looking at his aunt's matter-of-fact manner, he thought it was quite possible.
Hehe, let's meet then.
"I've been at home these past two days. To be honest, I haven't seen my cousin in a long time."
Changqing grinned, revealing a wicked smile.
The aunt clearly didn't notice the ill intent in his expression; she simply assumed that Changqing had already agreed to lend her the house, so she relaxed.
"You two are brothers, you should meet more often. Don't underestimate your cousin just because he drives in the community; he knows all sorts of big shots. His connections are far stronger than yours, even with your online shop. I'll have him give you a hand when the time comes..."
Changqing listened to his aunt's ramblings for half an hour before seeing her off.
After one person returned to the living room.
He lay down on the sofa.
"boring! "
The original owner of this body, Song Changqing, had a very tragic fate.
Shortly after his birth, his father, Song Jianguo, abandoned the family, took all their money, and disappeared.
When he was thirteen, his mother also passed away, and he began to make his way in the world on his own.
He's worked as a waiter, a day laborer, and a factory worker. He'll do any job as long as he has food to eat, and somehow he managed to make it to adulthood.
Although he wasn't well-educated, he was quick-witted and not afraid of hardship.
In my early twenties, I used all my savings to open a furniture store with a friend.
I never expected to make money.
Seven or eight years have passed, and it has transformed from a furniture store into a furniture mall.
He now has over two million more in his hands.
So they bought a house and a car, and finally had a home.
Although he doesn't live in a first-tier city, he is very content.
only---
That's when trouble started.
When we were poor, our relatives ignored us, but now that we're better off, they're all coming to us.
Some asked for loans, some hoped for job placement assistance, and others wanted to start a business together…
There are all kinds.
He usually refused them outright; he didn't care about saving face for relatives he had no connection with.
However, there is one special person among them, and that is the original owner's aunt.
She didn't ask for money or offer to arrange a job; she simply asked to borrow the original owner's house for her son's wedding.
The original owner initially disagreed as well.
But after the other party's persistent pleading, he finally agreed.
He figured that since the property deed was in his name, he couldn't let someone else take it. Besides, his aunt was his closest blood relative.
"How naive."
Changqing's Commentary.
Needless to say, there will definitely be a lot of unexpected problems later on.
It's easy to move in but hard to move out. My cousin moved in after getting married and has no intention of leaving.
"Anyway, you're all alone, so it doesn't matter where you stay. You can stay at your aunt's house. Your aunt will cook for you, and you'll save yourself from eating out, which is unhealthy."
That's what my aunt said.
The original owner was naturally not used to living at her aunt's house, since it was a large family.
After some time, my cousin's wife became pregnant, and she was even less inclined to move out.
"Let's wait until the baby is born. Your cousin-in-law is pregnant right now and can't handle the travel. If she accidentally loses the baby, can you take responsibility?"
After the child was born, the aunt went even further, demanding that the original owner transfer the house to her cousin.
“Your eldest nephew needs to go to school, and that house happens to be in a good school district. Why don’t you let the child recognize you as his godfather? Anyway, you’re not getting married, so the child can take care of you in your old age.”
The aunt was perfectly justified, so the cousin and his wife decided to stay and not leave.
The original owner was dissatisfied and called the police.
But to my surprise, my aunt even produced an IOU, saying that the original owner's father had borrowed one million from her.
It is only right that children should pay for their parents' debts!
The original owner was dumbfounded.
Only then did he realize that his irresponsible father had actually become a monk.
After some investigation, he finally learned the truth about his father's departure from home.
It turns out that before Song Jianguo got married, his father had a white moonlight (a term of endearment for a woman who is unattainable love).
The reason Song Jianguo became a monk was because his beloved Bai Yueguang died in childbirth, a tragedy that devastated him and made him feel that life had lost its meaning.
Therefore, he donated all his property to the temple and practiced asceticism for decades, hoping to be able to stay with his beloved in the next life.
"Isn't this just plain insane?"
Changqing couldn't help but curse.
The key point is that the scumbag father's "white moonlight" had no feelings for him, and the child had nothing to do with him, so how could he be so affectionate?
Besides, if you're so deeply in love, why get married?
This is utterly irresponsible!
More importantly, he failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband and father, and now that he's old, he's still causing trouble, which makes people want to punch him.
Before the aunt asked the original owner to borrow the house, she had already contacted her own brother, the original owner's father, who had become a monk.
Agreed.
The scumbag father believed that money was just an external thing, and that lending it to others to do good deeds was also a form of spiritual practice, so there was no reason for him to refuse.
Even after the original owner refused, he felt that his dignity had been offended. Under the persuasion of his aunt, he wrote an IOU, planning to force the original owner to comply.
That's why the house was lent out and then never returned.
