Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1166 - 1162: Twisted Love

After understanding the course of events, Shen Siyuan wasn’t surprised.

Because such situations in Bin Hai are not unique; they’re almost the norm. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Men drink, play cards, sleep late, and casually enjoy afternoon tea, while women are responsible for earning money and supporting the family.

This is rarely seen in other provinces, but here in Bin Hai, it is quite normal.

It sounds unbelievable, but it’s the truth.

The key is that these women have probably been subjected to long-term P*U*A, and their cognition has been distorted. Reasoning is futile; whenever a problem arises, they first look at themselves, thinking they haven’t done well enough.

And the mother of Tang Lingfeng that Dou Dou talks about is one of those women.

It’s indeed pitiful, but also truly frustrating.

"Since she scolded you, do you still want to help her?" Shen Siyuan patted Dou Dou’s little head, giving her the choice.

Hearing this, Dou Dou was a bit troubled. She tilted her little head, thought for a while, and then, seeing Duoduo next to her, immediately sought her help.

"Sister Duoduo, what do you think? Should I help or not?"

Duoduo: →_→, Call me sister only at times like this.

But Duoduo still gave her an answer.

"Don’t help."

"But Brother Tang Lingfeng seems a bit pitiful, and I also promised to help him kill his dad," Dou Dou said.

"Killing is illegal and you’ll be executed," Duoduo said.

"What does executed mean?"

"It means getting shot to death."

"But I’m already dead," Dou Dou said.

"Seems you’re right, you are already dead, the police can’t do anything to you," Duoduo mused, rubbing her chin thoughtfully.

"Right, right..." Dou Dou said excitedly.

Shen Siyuan: ...

"Is now really the time to discuss this? And besides, you’re just a child, how can you talk about killing people? Don’t go around making promises so casually in the future."

Shen Siyuan pinched Dou Dou’s cheeks, half in jest.

"What’s a promise?" Dou Dou pouted and asked.

Just then, a small hand stretched out from the side, pinching the other side of Dou Dou’s face.

Ambush, han~

Tang Tang ambushed successfully and ran off.

But Dou Dou was too busy to care, rubbing the pinched spot, she said, "But Brother Tang Lingfeng seems really pitiful."

"Since it’s his own matter, let him handle it himself. He’s outside the door, isn’t he? Call him in," Shen Siyuan had long sensed Tang Lingfeng outside, as he returned with Dou Dou.

"Alrighty."

With that, Dou Dou happily went to call Tang Lingfeng.

Duoduo, seeing the lack of excitement, quietly slipped away.

Dou Dou soon brought Tang Lingfeng in, and Shen Siyuan casually glanced him up and down.

Just another ordinary youth from Bin Hai.

Standing before Shen Siyuan with his head bowed, Tang Lingfeng dared not lift his eyes, sneaking peeks only with the corners of his eyes. His back was straight and rigid, breathing lightly, like a student afraid of being reprimanded by the teacher.

The reason he’s like this is naturally because he’s worried Dou Dou has tattled to this person, saying his mom made her cry.

"Dou Dou has told me about your situation," Shen Siyuan said, lightly tapping the table with his fingers, his tone indifferent, "Your matters are yours to handle; don’t always think about borrowing others’ hands."

This sentence was like a small thorn, causing Tang Lingfeng’s nose to twitch with the urge to cry. He kept his head down, his shoulders slightly slumped.

His voice, filled with grievance and powerlessness, as light as a mosquito: "But... I’ve turned into a ghost, I can’t touch anything, can’t do anything... I want to protect my mom, want my dad to never bully her again, but she can’t even see me, or hear me speak..."

The more he spoke, the sadder he got, his eyes reddening, fingers trembling slightly as they clutched at the hem of his clothes, filled with frustration and grievance, after all, he’s still just a child.

Upon hearing this, Shen Siyuan made no reply, showing no expression. With a mere thought, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner appeared in his palm; with a finger formula, he pulled the small boy into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Before long, Shen Siyuan waved his hand again, and Tang Lingfeng’s figure floated back lightly to the original spot, stunned. He looked down at his hands, then lifted them to feel his arms, his face alight with joy.

Meeting Shen Siyuan’s gaze, he realized something, hastily trying to kneel in gratitude.

"No need for that, go on, go on, although... forget it..."

In the end, Shen Siyuan said nothing more.

He felt that this little guy might end up with a thankless outcome.

If his mother truly cared for him, for his sister, she should have divorced his father long ago. But now, one dead and the other fled, yet able to continue living, perhaps in his mother’s heart, her husband matters more than the children.

So Tang Lingfeng might just end up heartbroken.

The reason Shen Siyuan didn’t explain much was partly that he didn’t understand these things himself, and partly because he doubted Tang Lingfeng would even believe it if he did.

"Go, finish things quickly and come back soon."

"Alright, thank you, brother," Tang Lingfeng said.

Although he knew Shen Siyuan’s identity, he still habitually addressed him as brother.

"Go on, go on," Shen Siyuan waved him away.

Tang Lingfeng, in a hurry, didn’t delay any further. He turned around, riding the Yin Wind out of the house, not even having time to bid Dou Dou farewell.

Seeing him leave, Dou Dou asked Shen Siyuan: "Is Tang Lingfeng’s mom a good person?"

"I’m not sure, but in Tang Lingfeng’s heart, she must be a good mom," Shen Siyuan replied.

"Yes, I think so too."

Dou Dou mused, rubbing her chubby little chin, nodding earnestly.

"But why is his dad so bad?" Dou Dou continued to ask.

"Because in this world, there are good people and bad people, just as there are good dads and bad dads."

"Oh, so Brother Tang Lingfeng is really unlucky to have a bad dad. Why doesn’t he just change one?" Dou Dou asked.

"You can’t just change dads as you please?"

"Why not? Can’t his mom just change husbands? When my dad’s mean to me, I tell my mom to get me a new dad," Dou Dou said proudly.

Hearing this, Shen Siyuan laughed heartily, "And your dad didn’t spank you?"

"Yes, but that just means even more reason to change,"

"You do make a good point, but dads shouldn’t just be swapped easily."

"Phooey, it’s so unfair. You can return a lot of things you buy, so why can’t you change dads? Brother Tang Lingfeng’s dad not only takes his mom’s money but also hits people, hits girls, hits boys, hits little kids..."

"Alright, alright, I get it, hasn’t Tang Lingfeng gone back to resolve this?"

"I’m going to have a look," Dou Dou said as she was about to leave.

"What are you going to do?"

"When Brother Tang Lingfeng kills his dad, once he turns into a ghost, I’ll give him a whack, burn him with fire, let him scream for being so horrible."

Shen Siyuan: ...
