Qiantang County.

A six-year-old novice monk stood at the entrance of the county government.

Xiao Shami's lips were red and her teeth were white, her eyes were bright and she looked very cute. But a hint of stability was revealed in his eyes.

The captain Li Gongfu walked out of the yamen with a sloppy middle-aged man in his forties and said, "Wang Datou, your son Xiyao is here to pick you up. I warn you that if you dare to drink and make trouble next time, it will not be as easy as locking up you for a few days."

Wang Datou accompanied the smile and said quickly: "Yes, yes, yes. Captain Li, don't worry, I dare not drink and cause trouble again."

Li Gongfu said, "Okay, you all go back."

...

Wang Xiyao followed Wang Datou, walked silently without saying a word.

Wang Xiyao's background was pretty good when he was reincarnated and practiced before. Even though his family was poor, his parents were simple.

But this time, he was reincarnated at a gambling house.

My father, Wang Datou, likes gambling. As long as he is not at home, he will definitely find him in the gambling file.

You can't drink wine, but asking him not to gamble is like asking him to live.

Wang Xiyao's mother does some small business during the day and does embroidery needlework at night to subsidize the household income.

Wang Xiyao also has an older brother and an older sister. They are both in their teens and can work and earn money to support their families.

Wang Xiyao is the youngest and cannot work, and is the least "worthy" person in the family.

Other families prefer boys over girls, and raise children to prevent old age.

But Wang Datou was not. In order to save some food at home, Wang Xiyao was less than one year old and sent to the temple by him.

The temple is willing to adopt Wang Xiyao without spending money on food and accommodation.

You can save a lot of money at home.

Wang Datou said, "You kid is not chanting Buddha's name at Jinshan Temple. What are you doing when you come back? Have you brought the money when you come back?"

Wang Xiyao said: "I'm back to visit my mother. Senior brother and others will go back to Jinshan Temple in a few days."

Wang Datou said, "That's just that there is no money. If you don't have money, why are you doing when you come back? There is no extra grain for you to eat. Okay, go home by yourself. I'll try my luck in the gambling house."

Wang Xiyao frowned and said, "You still want to go bet? The family has not yet broken up. It's my mother, brother and second sister who are struggling to support it. If you go bet again, our family will be destroyed."

Wang Datou sneered: "Hey. You little boy, you're teaching me a lesson. You guy remember, I'm your father. What I want to do, Buddha can't even care about you, do you, a little monk, still want to care about me?"

Wang Datou rushed to the gambling stall excitedly. As long as he went to gambling, he was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He would not feel tired even if he didn't sleep for several days or nights.

Wang Xiyao stared at the back of this cheap father and said to himself, this gambler is helpless!

If you want to live a normal life at home and not let your mother, brother and second sister suffer, you can only send him to the jail of the yamen to be imprisoned for a few years.

...

When Li Gongfu returned home, Xu Jiaorong prepared supper.

Xu Xian is still reciting the Four Books and Five Classics.

Just waiting for Li Gongfu to come back for dinner.

Xu Jiaorong shouted into the study: "Hanwen, your brother-in-law is back. Come out for dinner."

Xu Xian said, "Sister, I'm here."

During supper.

Li Gongfu sighed.

Xu Jiaorong asked, "My husband, did you encounter something again in the yamen?"

Li Gongfu said, "It's not a big deal. It's not that guy Wang Datou. He drank, gambling, and made trouble. He was caught by me and detained for two days. Today his youngest son came to the county government office to pick up Wang Datou. At that time, I really wanted to beat Wang Datou hard."

Xu Jiaorong said: "Wang Datou is a famous gambler in Qiantang County. More than ten years ago, the Wang family was considered a wealthy family, because Wang Datou likes to bet and lost his family business. If you want to talk about Wang Datou's youngest son, he is a very smart child..."

Xu Xian said, "Sister, Wang Xiyao is not ordinary intelligence. If Wang Datou hadn't sent him to the temple, he would have sent him to the school. In the future, the Wang family might have produced a top scholar. What a pity."

It was at this moment.

Wang Xiyao is here.

When Xu Jiaorong saw Wang Xiyao, he immediately became full of love. He took Wang Xiyao's little hand and said, "Xiyao, have you had dinner?"

Wang Xiyao shook his head and said, "No."

Xu Jiaorong said, "Hanwen, get Xiyao the dishes and chopsticks."

Li Gongfu is the head of the yamen, his income is higher than that of ordinary people, and the quality of the food is good.

Four dishes and a bowl of soup.

Xu Jiaorong put a chicken leg in Wang Xiyao's bowl.

Xu Xian said, "Sister, Xiyao is a young monk. There are precepts in the temple and you cannot eat chicken legs."

Wang Xiyao said, "It's not a problem. Although I am a little novice monk from Jinshan Temple and have a certificate of justice, I don't recognize myself as a monk in my heart. I am now growing up, so how can I not eat meat?"

Wang Xiyao doesn't want to be a little monk.

If it weren't for the sanctions and the Jinshan Temple wouldn't let anyone go, Wang Xiyao would have wanted to return to secular life long ago.

Although the temple is pure, being a monk is not Wang Xiyao's wish after all.

After eating chicken legs.

Wang Xiyao said: "Captain Li, you arrest my father. It's better to lock him up for a few years."

Li Gongfu, Xu Jiaorong, and Xu Xian were all shocked.

How could a son come to ask the yamen to arrest his father?

Wang Xiyao did this, which was very unfilial.

Loyalty and filial piety are a very important virtue in feudal society. If a person is unfaithful and unfilial, his whole life will be over.

People’s words are awesome. To destroy a person, just spread rumors and slander him for being unfaithful and unfilial.

Wang Xiyao said, "My father is out of salvation. But I still want to save my mother and the others. If I don't lock up my father, he will continue to bet. As long as my father doesn't quit gambling, there will be no good life at home."

Li Gongfu said with a embarrassed look: "Xiyao, in this case, your father can usually be detained for a few days before he has to be released. He has not committed any major incidents, and it is impossible for the yamen to keep him for a few years for no reason."

Li Gongfu is an upright person. When handling cases, there must be laws to follow.

How many years will gambling be bound? There is no such regulation in the law. Even if the king's head is indeed annoying.

Wang Xiyao said: "Is there no other way?"

Li Gongfu said: "Unless he committed a major incident, he could be imprisoned for several years."

Wang Xiyao nodded and said, "Then I'll find a way to wait for my news."

A gambler like Wang Datou has become addicted to gambling and is not locked up. How can he quit gambling?

He must quit his gambling addiction!

...

Wang Xiyao returned home.

My mother, elder brother and second sister are having supper. There is no vegetables on the table, only a pot of porridge. It is better to say it is rice soup than porridge. There are really few grains of rice in the porridge.

Wang Xiyao said, "Mom, eldest brother, second sister, I'm back."

The second sister served a bowl of porridge for Wang Xiyao and said, "Brother, Mr. Zhang's family ritual will be finished tomorrow. You have to follow your senior brothers back to the temple, right?"

Zhang Yuanwai's mother passed away.

This time, Wang Xiyao went back to Qiantang County with several senior brothers to do rituals for Zhang Yuanwai's family.

My mother didn't say anything.

But she looked at Wang Xiyao with a little reluctance.

Wang Xiyao said: "I won't go back to Jinshan Temple for the time being, I want to live at home for more days."

The family is too poor.
