Chapter 210 Seeking a Child (Part 2)
When Mr. and Mrs. Su arrived at the temple, they were warmly received by the monks.
After they explained their purpose, the monk's smile remained ambiguous.
I explained a process for them to have a child, and they also had to donate money to Buddha.
After spending money on a series of rituals to cleanse oneself of worldly impurities, one can prepare for the arrival of a destined child.
Staying in a temple room for a month, eating specially prepared vegetarian meals three times a day, and regularly worshipping Buddha, etc.
Every step costs money.
Having been scammed so many times and with no one to verify whether she was really pregnant, Su's parents became instantly wary.
I'm afraid of being scammed out of my money.
However, the monks treated them very kindly, saying, "These are all necessary procedures. If you really have any doubts, you don't have to do them. Our temple does everything according to fate. Amitabha."
While Mr. and Mrs. Su were still struggling with their decision, a couple appeared behind them. The wife was clearly pregnant and was stroking the baby from time to time.
"Master, we have come to fulfill our vow and offer more incense money to Buddha so that he may bless our child."
The husband, guided by the monk, went to fulfill his vow. Feeling sorry for his wife's hardship, he told her to sit still and that he would come back to find her soon.
The wife smiled as she watched her husband's retreating figure, gently stroking her belly with tenderness.
At this moment, Su's mother moved closer to her wife.
"Hello."
Su's mother's sudden approach seemed to startle her; she instantly turned pale and clutched her stomach with both hands.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I scared you." Su's mother apologized repeatedly. "Did you come here to pray for a child? I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to know if this temple is effective."
“It works, of course it works. I found out I was pregnant less than three months after I went back, so I came here to fulfill my vow and hope that he can be born safely.”
The wife smiled gently and patiently answered Su's mother's questions, explaining their basic situation as a couple.
Hearing this, Su's mother and father felt much relieved.
After all, it's still quite effective, and they have a good chance of success.
After the couple left, Mr. and Mrs. Su pulled the monk aside and said they wanted to donate money to pray for a child.
However, the monk seemed very cautious, confirming again and again, and said: "Having offspring is all up to fate. We cannot determine the gender, and whether or not you get pregnant depends on fate. If the time is not right, you may not get pregnant no matter what."
Mr. and Mrs. Su didn't care about anything else; they just kept nodding, not paying attention to the lecture, and only wanted to move in immediately.
Within three months, Su's mother became pregnant and even paid a large sum of money.
Strangely, apart from this couple, no other couples stayed at the temple.
But they weren't surprised; they just let things take their course!
Since the monk had no source of income, he swindled even more money from the two fools, Su's father and mother.
Today's weather is unsuitable, tomorrow's meals need to be doubled, I'm pregnant but they say the fetus is unstable, our fate is not quite right.
Everything requires money to maintain.
They all believed it and left with the amulet for protecting the pregnancy.
However, the temple was immediately shut down by the police after they left.
All the money that Su's parents spent was transferred into Su Su's account.
There were even cases where they didn't have enough money, so they sold their house and had the money deducted from their proceeds.
Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Su knew nothing and were simply enjoying themselves.
This time, however, none of them had jobs and could only rent a place to live.
They even wanted Su Su to take care of Su's mother.
However, Su Su said that she had already gone abroad for work.
Su's mother had an extremely difficult pregnancy, and she had to handle all the household affairs on her own. Only she knew how hard it was.
This pregnancy is completely different from when I was younger. My body's functions are not as good as before, and I have to be careful with every step I take and take everything into consideration.
Even so, she still experienced stomach pains from time to time.
Each wave of pain tightened her heart, filling her with worry for the baby in her womb.
Fortunately, after getting through that difficult period, the fetus finally stabilized.
Su's mother and father remembered that they had made a vow at the temple that if they could conceive successfully, they would go to fulfill their vow.
So, with devout hearts, they set off for the temple.
But this trip uncovered a shocking truth.
When Su's father learned that the baby in Su's mother's belly was rumored to be a bastard, he was instantly enraged, feeling as if a green grassland was growing over his head.
His eyes were wide open, filled with anger and disbelief, staring fiercely at Su's mother's belly, his gaze as sinister and terrifying as a demon from hell.
Upon seeing this, Su's mother instinctively protected her belly, knelt down with a thud, and pleaded with Su's father with tears streaming down her face: "Please, don't hurt our child, there must be some misunderstanding."
But by this time, Su's father was already blinded by anger and couldn't listen to any of Su's mother's explanations.
He suddenly reached out and grabbed Su's mother's arm, pulling hard while shouting, "You shameless woman, how could you do such a thing? You have to give me an explanation today!"
As Mr. Su spoke, he became more and more agitated. Suddenly, he raised his foot and kicked Mrs. Su hard in the stomach.
Su's mother let out a scream and fell to the ground, her hands still tightly protecting her stomach, and she kept crying out in pain.
Blinded by rage, Su's father couldn't stop, kicking and roaring, "Are you going or not? Are you going to get rid of this bastard? You made me a cuckold, and you still want a bastard child..."
Blood slowly seeped from Su's mother's abdomen, spreading across the ground. Her face turned deathly pale, devoid of any color, her eyes filled with despair and terror.
Her voice grew weaker and weaker, but she still pleaded desperately: "Stop hitting us, please, spare our child..."
After an unknown amount of time, Mr. Su finally regained consciousness. Looking at Mrs. Su, who lay weakly in a pool of blood, a flicker of fear and regret flashed in his eyes.
He frantically tried to carry Su's mother to the hospital, but it was too late.
In his arms, Su's mother slowly closed her eyes and breathed her last.
Soon, Su's father was arrested by the police.
After a thorough investigation, the police informed Su's father that the temple sold a drug for profit that could induce a false pregnancy and easily lead to miscarriage or even maternal death.
Those monks used this medicine to swindle money, causing instability in the fetus, in order to gain more profit.
They rarely use this kind of medicine; it's generally used more by young people and not by middle-aged people.
But for some reason, Su's mother was in this state, and the violent kicking and beating directly led to her death, even though she could have been saved.
So the two had no children, and Su's mother also died.
Unable to accept this cruel reality, Su's father spent his days in prison muttering that he had a son, a son.
Sometimes he would become lucid, crying and searching for his wife and daughter, and would attempt suicide, resulting in his death.
Su Su did not go back to collect their bodies; instead, she simply combined their souls into one and restored their memories of their past lives.
When they start hurling insults, use their tangled balls, hooked with fishing line, to throw them out, let the fish bite them, pull them back, and throw them out again.
After playing with them to their heart's content, ignoring their pleading looks, they tore them apart bit by bit, just as they had treated the original owner.
Then he casually tossed the fragments of his soul into the sea.
