Chapter 646 Is this right, child? (41)
Xiong Bufan often couldn't understand whether Zhao Daniu and Hao Xinghua loved the fool or his fertility.
With her around, there's no need to worry about what will happen to the idiot when he gets old. Hao Xinghua and Zhao Daniu are just wasting their time, even adding to the burden on Xiong Bufan and the idiot.
However, the fool didn't just hide behind Xiong Bufan; he made his own decisions and knew what he wanted to do.
At the dinner table, when Hao Xinghua brought up the blind date again, the fool burst out, "Mom, can you please stop bringing this up all the time?"
I have my own rhythm, and I have things I want to do.
"I'm not mentally sound, and the girl will suffer if she marries into this family. Can you please not drag innocent people into this?"
Hao Xinghua was also very excited, "No one dares to look down on you, and I'm doing this for your future!"
Xiong Bufan didn't stop the two from arguing. Instead, he shoveled all the food in front of him and ate while watching the commotion.
The fool felt that Hao Xinghua hadn't understood him, and continued, "I can live a good life on my own without getting married."
Seeing that this approach was not feasible, Zhao Daniu put down his chopsticks and began to assert his authority as a father, saying sternly, "This is unfilial. Do you want the villagers to gossip about your parents behind their backs?"
You're the only son in the village; the Zhao family line is about to end, do you know that?!
"I don't know, it has nothing to do with me, my surname is Hao."
Zhao Daniu felt a pain in his chest from anger, but the wooden man had no heart, and all he could do in anger was point his finger at the idiot, "You, you, you,"
The fool said, "Father, Mother, don't worry."
I have hands and feet; I can take care of myself when I'm old.
"Don't call me dad."
Upon hearing this, Xiong Bufan crushed the bowl in his hand. This Zhao Daniu was really asking for trouble.
Hearing the commotion, Zhao Daniu quickly tried to smooth things over, "I was just worried about you, but since you have your own ideas, I won't interfere anymore."
Hao Xinghua didn't expect Zhao Daniu to betray her so quickly. She was about to speak when Xiong Bufan glanced at her and she immediately fell silent.
After being burned by fire last time, their faces remained blackened, and they were genuinely afraid that Xiong Bufan would burn them to death.
Upon hearing this, the fool calmed down. When he wanted to eat, he found that the food and rice were right in front of Xiong Bufan. Without arguing, he turned around and went to get the dry rations.
Xiong Bufan was a little confused. She had always thought that if you were good to someone, you should cherish everything that they cherish and try to get as many people as possible to love them.
But something's not right about the mentally challenged parents; they seem to be causing trouble for the mentally challenged girl and her.
Kongkong didn't understand human affairs either, so he could only advise Xiong Bufan, "Bufan, even an upright official can't settle family disputes."
Even a fool has parents, which is essentially a blessing, and that's enough. Don't overthink it.
Having it is happiness; you've already done very well.
"I also think I've done a good job. Let them handle their own affairs."
"Yes."
In these two recent worlds, Xiong Bufan arrived before the plot even began, avoiding many hardships for the original owner and the mission target, but also causing trouble in return.
Zhao Daniu and Hao Xinghua are living examples, but Xiong Bufan can't easily intervene now.
Kongkong was thinking about whether to find a mission with a slightly later timeline next time, when the original owner had few relatives and was isolated and helpless, and wouldn't have to worry about everything when doing the mission.
The meal was a bit awkward; the idiot just kept munching on a pancake.
Xiong Bufan, on the other hand, ate while watching the commotion, and his meal was quite enjoyable.
After the fool spoke his mind, Zhao Daniu and Hao Xinghua stopped trying to set him up on blind dates, and life finally calmed down. However, the fact that the fool was all alone was still a worry for Hao Xinghua and Zhao Daniu.
Zhao Daniu and Hao Xinghua's wooden bodies are not sturdy and need to be replaced every five years. In the blink of an eye, they have been replaced ten times.
After mastering his skills, the fool became Xiong Bufan's bodyguard, patrolling every day in the latest protective gear researched by Xiong Bufan.
Even when she reached retirement age, she remained by Xiong Bufan's side.
Hao Xinghua and Zhao Daniu's bodies are still functional, but they do the same things every day. They have no sensation and cannot eat, so life seems to be devoid of any joy.
Xiong Bufan had long since retired and lived in a sanatorium arranged by the research institute. He would occasionally take out a small trinket to sell for money, living a carefree and comfortable life.
Hao Xinghua and Zhao Daniu planned to return to the underworld to be reincarnated after the idiot died.
Growing old in the small world had become a habit, so Xiong Bufan didn't feel uncomfortable. He just wanted to fulfill the fool's wishes as much as possible while the fool was still alive.
The more someone is cared for, the shorter their lifespan seems to be.
That's how fools are; he didn't even live to the average human lifespan before he became critically ill, which was somewhat unexpected for Xiong Bufan.
In the pristine white hospital room, three people stood around the mentally challenged man lying on the bed.
The mental illness developed suddenly; it was a cardiovascular problem.
Now he has an oxygen tube in his nose and an IV drip in his arm. Age spots and wrinkles have crept onto his face. Time seems to have never been kind to him, but Lady Luck has always been on his side.
The fool had a premonition that after this illness, he would never be able to get up again.
Xiong Bufan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the fool, "What do you want to say? Or is there something you haven't finished?"
The fool reached out to grab Xiong Bufan's hand, then gently shook his head. "No, I've lived a very good life."
I had my parents when I was young, and then I met you when I got older. I'm luckier than many others in my life.
Looking at the fool's appearance, Xiong Bufan's impression of him was still that of his youth, when he was carefree and happy all the time.
"You are incredibly fortunate to have met Lao Tzu."
The fool smiled gently, "It would be my greatest honor. May I ask you for a favor?"
"What's the matter?"
"When I die, turn me into a puppet. I want to stay with you forever. I owe you so much."
Hearing this, Hao Xinghua quickly stopped her, "No, it's very uncomfortable to become a wooden person. Although you won't get sick, you'll lose a lot of fun."
The fool said, "Dad, Mom, thank you for being willing to grow old with me."
Xiong Bufan shook his head. "No, you should be reincarnated properly."
The fool looked somewhat gloomy, while Hao Xinghua and Zhao Daniu's eyes were still constantly shedding wood chips, which, combined with their dark faces, created an indescribable comical scene.
Every time he changed bodies, Xiong Bufan would find an excuse to roast them both, so he always had a dark face.
Xiong Bufan looked at the fool; he was the purest person she had ever met, without exception.
The fool smiled gently, "I owe you in this life, so I'll repay you in the next, okay?"
Xiong Bufan remained silent. The original owner had already paid the full amount, and she wouldn't ask for a second price; that would be too unethical.
