Chapter 436: Their Life Is Too Good
Shen Ruyi's question stumped the young prince. After thinking for a while, he said, "That's not right. I've been busy for half a year and earned a lot of money, but now I don't have the chance or time to spend it. Hey, what am I trying to do? Why do I feel something is wrong? Isn't the reason I earn money to have money to spend? Now that I have money, I don't have time to spend it."
"Look, when you don't have money, you're worried. When you have money but can't spend it, you're also worried. There's no time when you don't have worries. If you know you don't have time to spend, you can find something meaningful and have a project to spend it on. Wouldn't that give you a sense of accomplishment?
In this way, through our efforts, those homeless people have a home to return to; through our efforts, those who have problems with three meals a day can have enough food. This is a sense of accomplishment, which cannot be given to us by other people or things. This sense of accomplishment is also incoherent. Think about it, isn’t this the truth? "
"What you said does make some sense, but it makes me sad to spend it like this. I haven't spent it myself, but I have to spend it on people I don't know. I don't want to." The young prince said embarrassedly.
Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "What's the big deal? If you feel bad, don't spend it. It's not necessary to spend the money. It's normal for you to have this idea. I spend it because I am willing to spend it. I don't go against my own will, nor do I force myself.
So, I can spend this money like this, but you can't, at least not right now. Unless one day you feel that spending it like this makes you very happy and it brings you joy, then you can do it, don't force it, just follow your heart. "
"How can you feel happy if you spend your own money on other people? I think you are a freak. I can't understand your idea."
"Hahaha, that's right. I would do this because I know that as human beings, we will die sooner or later and can't take anything with us, including our wealth and our noble status. We came here naked and we will leave naked. So, I want to spend the money I have and make it as meaningful as possible. Let more people benefit from my behavior."
"You can pass it on to future generations. You are a spendthrift, okay? You don't want to leave some for future generations? If I really do this, my father will break my legs and say that I am a spendthrift."
"I don't plan to get married and have children at the moment, so there's no need to keep it."
"Little Black Charcoal, you don't have a fever, right? Why are you talking nonsense? Do you actually want your family to be extinct? Your ancestors will be so angry that they will come back to life and beat you."
"Our ancestors have all turned to bones. Once they are dead, they can't care about the affairs of us living people. When people die, they are gone. They are probably reincarnated long ago. They have long forgotten their past and started a new cycle. So, their thoughts and opinions are not important."
"Your idea is quite rebellious. What if they are not reincarnated?"
"If you haven't been reincarnated, then you haven't been reincarnated. He has his mission, and I have mine. We are all busy with our own things. I didn't ask them to bless me to become rich and a high official, so why do they demand this and that from me?"
“That seems to be true.”
"It's like that. What I want to do is my business and has nothing to do with others. No matter what decision I make, as long as I don't regret it in the future, why should I care about others? They are not me and they won't live my life for me."
"Don't you still have Changle? Why don't you leave some of your family property for Changle?"
"As for him, I have already provided him with some property, enough for him to have food and clothing, that's all. As for whether he will rise to a higher level in the future, or end up begging on the streets, that's all his business. If he has the ability, he can live well without leaving any property.
If he has no ability, it will be useless to leave him more money in the future, as he will still squander it. Why bother? When one's own ability is not enough to control the money, he will eventually be hurt by it. At this time, a large amount of money is not a good thing, it may be a death warrant. Therefore, for his safety, it is better to leave him less so that he will not starve to death. Come on, let's stop chatting, you go out for a walk, I'll arrange for someone to cook food."
"Changle is in school now, and I have nowhere to go. Where's the Great Sage?"
"The Monkey King is with Thanos. Thanos is a beautiful golden monkey, a new member of our family. You can go and see him."
"What kind of monkey is a golden monkey?"
"Come on, I'll take you to see it. It's very cute, and most importantly, very well-behaved and not noisy."
Shen Ruyi finally found two monkeys, two foxes and several dogs in the hot spring. They were actually playing in the same pool.
When the young prince saw this, he lost his balance instantly and shouted: "The lives of these monkeys in your family are too good. I haven't taken a hot spring bath for a long time. Little Black Charcoal, look at them, they are so leisurely and their lives are more carefree than mine. I am not as good as a few monkeys and foxes."
Shen Ruyi said with a smile: "Look more often, you will get used to it after a while. My life is not as comfortable as theirs. I am also very busy every day and rarely have free time. Changle is the same. He has to practice martial arts, go to school, and practice calligraphy. He doesn't have much time to play."
Shen Ruyi would occasionally sigh like this, and sometimes she felt that she was not as comfortable as a monkey.
But the monkeys' comfortable life is premised on the presence of Shen Ruyi, who carries the burden for these little creatures. Without her, they would definitely be trying to make a living somewhere else and struggling for a living.
Of course, these little ones did bring a lot of joy to the family. They provided emotional value and helped the other party live a good life. Isn't that what they should do? After thinking about it this way, she figured it out.
The young prince immediately said: "No, I have to take a hot spring bath too. Now that I'm here, I have to enjoy myself."
"Go ahead if you want to take a dip. Did you bring your clothes?"
"Here are the clothes. We prepared them earlier. Little Black Charcoal, let's take a bath together. We have never taken a hot spring bath together. Changle and I have taken a hot spring bath many times."
"I don't want to take a bath today. I just took a bath last night. I have to prepare food. You can take a bath by yourself. You are familiar with this mansion anyway, so you can do whatever you want. Let the Great Sage and the others accompany you." Shen Ruyi said and slipped away.
He entered the space, took out two rabbits, two chickens, a small bucket of shrimps, and a fish weighing more than 3 kilograms, and asked the kitchen staff to clean up the mess.
"Madam Lu, have one chicken made into a homely big plate chicken, and the other chicken made into spicy chicken. Peel the rabbit, wash it, clean it, and chop it up. I'll make spicy rabbit meat for you today. As for the fish, braise it, and make the shrimp spicy."
"Row."
