Chapter 973 Who is Schopenhauer?
Cangyue Island.
Lin Tao and Dong Wan'er found his residence according to the address left by Hongsheng.
This is a brick and tile house with two rooms. It is not very rich. There is a quarrel between Hongsheng and his parents in the house.
"Asheng, just give up. Even if Lian'er likes you, but her parents don't agree, we can't do anything." Hongsheng's mother said with great thoughts.
"I went to her parents in person and told her." Hongsheng said.
"You said? What are you talking about? If someone can marry his daughter to a monk, why should he marry you?" Hongsheng's father was so angry that he heard this.
Outside the room, Dong Wan'er glanced at Lin Tao, meaning whether to go in now. After all, it is difficult for honest officials to settle family affairs. If they quarrel, it is not good for you to go in casually.
Lin Tao understood what Dong Wan'er meant, so he opened the door and walked in casually.
"Hello, uncle and aunt!" Lin Tao said with a smile.
The couple stared at Lin Tao in a daze, but they didn't react for a while. Where did this person come out?
Hongsheng pulled Lin Tao closer to the house, found a place to sit, and said, "Brother Lin, why did you come suddenly?"
"It's okay, I'm just here to see you."
Hirosheng's father whispered to his son: "Who is this?"
Hongsheng was too lazy to explain to him and said dryly: "I am a friend I met on the way."
His father thought that his son had met somewhere, so he ran to the house to eat and drink. He just entered the house and didn't even knock on the door. Obviously, he didn't know etiquette and felt even more disgusted with Lin Tao.
Hongsheng's father said with a bad look: "Since he is a friend, just treat him well."
The word "good hospitality" is deliberately said very seriously. When he heard it, he was slanderous. Lin Tao smiled and didn't care.
"As soon as I entered the house, I heard you talk about Lian'er. What's going on?" Lin Tao asked first.
Hongsheng's father snorted and got into the room inside.
Hongsheng's mother smiled awkwardly and followed her in.
Hongsheng told Lin Tao the whole story. It turned out that after he came back, he heard that Lian'er's parents had married her to a monk named Wang You in the Wang family.
Lian'er naturally disagreed and cried for several days. Her parents were so angry that they locked her at home and were not allowed to come out again.
After hearing this, he wanted to go to Lian'er's house to argue with her parents, but his parents disagreed with anything, so Lin Tao just saw the episode.
After listening to Hongsheng's narration, Lin Tao asked, "What level is this Wang You?"
"It seems to be in the Golden Body Stage, and I heard that my strength is not low." Hongsheng frowned.
Lin Tao was happy when he heard about the Golden Body Period and felt that it was not difficult to settle this matter.
"Anyway, now let's look for Lian'er's parents first, and be reasonable first. If you don't make sense, then talk about other things." Lin Tao said.
Hongsheng brought Lin Tao and Dong Wan'er to Lian'er's house.
Lin Tao looked around and saw that this was a brick and tile house. Hongsheng's family was also a brick and tile house, but the family was a big family and had a big business.
Hongsheng knocked on the door twice.
The one who opened the door was Lian'er's father, a rich and round middle-aged gentleman. Lin Tao and the others followed him into the yard.
Lin Tao looked around in the yard, and across the door, he saw Lian'er behind the crack in the door, staring at them with big clear eyes and secretly looking at them. Lin Tao was careful and said nothing.
As soon as they entered the house and explained the reason, Lian'er's mother disagreed and said with a face, "Anyway, we have agreed to that, and there is no discussion on this matter."
Lin Tao said: "Have you discussed it? Call out your daughter and let her talk about it yourself."
Lian'er's mother refused to say anything and said, "What does a girl know better than we think carefully."
Hongsheng couldn't help but begged, "Auntie, I am sincere to Lian'er!"
Lin Tao pressed Hongsheng behind him and said, "Shut up and let me say. Sister, I will ask you one thing, do you want your daughter to be happy in the rest of her life?"
Lian'er's mother scoffed and said, "That mother doesn't want her daughter to find a good home? It's because of this that I promised Wang You that Wang You is a monk and is in the Golden Body Stage!"
Dong Wan'er couldn't help but snorted coldly and said, "What's so great about the monks in the Golden Body Stage?"
This sentence angered Lian'er's mother and sneered: "What's so great about the monks in the Golden Body Stage? You can see what you are?"
Lin Tao blocked Dong Wan'er's mouth, who was about to retort, and said, "Let's talk about the monk later. I want to ask my elder sister, is it really that important to monk?"
Lian'er's mother curled her lips and said, "Of course, without status, how can I guarantee the happiness of my daughter?"
Lin Tao said: "You keep talking about your daughter's happiness. Do you know what happiness is? The great philosopher, thinker and educator Schopenhauer said..."
Lian'er's mother interrupted him and said, "Who is Schopenhauer?"
Lin Tao said patiently: "This question is not important. What is important is that if you marry your daughter to someone she doesn't like, she will never be willing to do so for the rest of her life."
He paused and continued: "But if she was allowed to choose a marriage herself, even if she suffered a loss in the future, it would be her own choice of path, and she would bear the consequences herself."
Dong Wan'er was moved by this and nodded in agreement.
But Lian'er's mother didn't buy it. She said with a gloomy face: "What's the difference between the two?"
Lin Tao stopped talking. After a long time, he sighed heavily, pulled Dong Wan'er and Hongsheng outside, and whispered: "This woman is not enlightened. It seems that it is impossible to reason. We have to be tough."
Hongsheng was scared when he heard this and said in a crying voice: "Brother Lin, I can't do it anymore. You have done enough for me. Don't offend the Wang family, as you will implicate you at that time."
Lin Tao said: "What you said is nonsense. I will help people to the end. I will send Buddha to the West. There is no saying that I will give up halfway. Moreover, I will follow wherever I am. Let's ride a donkey and watch the singing board and take a look."
Hongsheng was moved by this sentence and couldn't help but admire Lin Tao and said, "Brother Lin, you are really good at speaking and know a lot."
After several people discussed, they entered the house again. Lian'er's mother didn't give them a good look and said, "You guys are a little conscious, let's go by yourself!"
Lin Tao said: "Let us meet Lian'er."
Lian'er's mother sneered, "Impossible."
"Then we won't leave." Lin Tao simply went to the ground and started cheating.
"It seems you are intentionally causing trouble. OK, I won't bother you. I'll find someone to treat you," Lian'er's mother said and went out. After a while, she said, "You wait, I've already found someone from the Wang family."
She wanted to move out of the Wang family's name to shock Lin Tao, but Lin Tao didn't respond at all after hearing this.
However, Hongsheng was scared and kept pulling Lin Tao and said, "Brother Lin, enough, let's go!"
Sure enough, after a while, there was a loud noise outside the door, and Wang You appeared with a few Wang family children.
When residents nearby heard that the Wang family was coming, they were all blocking the fun at Lian'er's doorstep to inquire about what happened.
"Old Li, what's wrong?"
"It seems that it's that boy Hongsheng who brings people to see Lian'er."
"This kid is not giving up. Isn't it better to marry a daughter to a monk than to marry him?"
On this side, Wang You and his men just entered the yard and shouted loudly: "Who is causing trouble?" Then he saw Lin Tao sitting on the ground.
"It's just you're making trouble? What's your name? What family is it from?" Wang Youlai asked.
Lin Tao said: "Where do you check my household registration? My surname is Lin Tao, I have no family, and my ancestors have three generations of poor peasants, and I have not yet been lifted out of poverty."
When Wang You heard this, he didn't take Lin Tao seriously and sneered, "I have heard about your troubles. Lian'er's parents have agreed that the marriage has been decided. Don't mess around anymore, let's go."
"Have you discussed with someone else's daughter?" Lin Tao asked back.
Wang You was stunned and said, "I have agreed to her parents, that is, I have agreed to her."
Lin Tao said: "According to your logic, is it because his parents are not hungry to eat? Her parents can help her make decisions when they speak."
Wang You's face was impatient and didn't want to continue to get entangled with Lin Tao, and said, "You are destroying someone else's marriage and deliberately causing trouble!"
"You are shameless. Relying on your ability, seeing that the girl looks good, you forcefully say hello. Do you know what is the thickest and hardest thing in the world?" Lin Tao suddenly asked.
Wang You was stunned for a moment and said, "How the hell do I know what it is?"
"It's a beard."
"Why?"
Lin Tao smiled and said, "You can penetrate even a three-foot-thick skin. If you don't find a mirror to look at yourself, just your condition is like a stubble face, and you still want others to like you!"
Now, Wang You was completely angry and slapped Lin Tao.
Everyone took a breath. This came from the monk's slap. At least Lin Tao was about to be thrust into dislocation.
Bang!
Lin Tao slapped hard, but he blinked his eyes and nothing happened. Then he slowly took a few steps back, and made a fake fall to the ground, saying, "Oh, it hurts."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Of course, Wang You saw that he had nothing to do and felt very humiliated, so he raised his sword and stabbed Lin Tao.
Before Lin Tao could take action, Dong Wan'er moved behind her. She stretched out her finger and hit the sword body with her true energy. With a bang, the sword body was shattered into several pieces.
Everyone was in an uproar, and the attack of a golden-body monk was resolved by a finger.
Wang You held half of the broken sword in his hand and was stunned.
He realized that he was no match for the person in front of him and was about to leave with his own people. Before leaving, he spoke viciously: "Lin Tao, there is a woman who will help you stand up today, but this matter is not over."
Lin Tao waved his hand with a smile, "Welcome Brother Wang to visit again."
Wang You snorted coldly and left in shame with the man.
Lin Tao thought they were shocked by Dong Wan'er's skills, but he didn't expect that Lian'er's mother and Hongsheng both reacted and murmured: "This time I offended the Wang family, it's really over."
