Chapter 217 - Song Yulang: I’ve Discovered Major Gossip!
Song Zhiyu came to the front hall and generously added a fifty tael silver note to the Merit Box placed in front of the Buddha.
Song Lingzhou felt a bit of pain: "Fourth Uncle, you’re being too generous."
"What do you know, your Fourth Uncle is a favored child of fortune. Money is just an external possession. When the heavens give me good luck, it’s only natural I give something back," Song Zhiyu said with feigned profundity, "Do you know the saying ’one drink, one peck’?"
Song Lingzhao: "But Fourth Uncle, you said before that you dislike being a monk and insisted on experiencing the secular world."
Song Zhiyu glared at him and reached out to tweak his ear: "This has nothing to do with my respect for the Buddha."
Song Lingzhao giggled and dodged his devilish hand.
The uncle and nephews also offered incense in front of the Buddha, and the Song Lingjie brothers contributed incense money from their own small wallets, then knelt on the prayer mat, clasped their hands, and made wishes, surprising Song Zhiyu a bit.
"What did you wish for?"
"Naturally, we asked the Buddha to fulfill our mother’s wish, so we brothers can have a soft and cute little sister. If the Buddha grants this, after our mother gives us a sister, I’ll come and gold-coat the Buddha."
