Jiang Chengwen entered the room full of seafood that could not be sold. Butcher Jiang not only did not blame him too much but also packed some on his stretcher and went out every day to help him sell it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n But Father He was really not good to his children and never took care of them. When He Chunsheng remembered what he had just learned, his big eyes were red with anxiety.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d Jiang Zhen asked with a frown.<\/span><\/p>\r\n He Chunsheng immediately started speaking.<\/span><\/p>\r\n After he and He Xiaosheng had cleaned up after Father He earlier and observed him at all times, Father He became honest for a while. But after they followed Jiang Zhen outside, Father He\u2019s mind started calculating again.<\/span><\/p>\r\n At first, Father He only seized the grain and the two chickens He Chunsheng had left to his mother and took the money from selling them to gamble. Later, when he lost all the money and couldn\u2019t get any more money, he remembered Jiang Zhen.<\/span><\/p>\r\n A gambler like Father He, who was capable of anything, wasn’t worried about losing face and had no shame, found Hongxing Gambling House and told them that his two sons were working under Jiang Zhen, so he borrowed money from the gambling house and started gambling there.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Without any doubt, he lost all his money again. Then Jiang Zhen and the others came back.<\/span><\/p>\r\n His two sons had returned, made money, and were going to the capital in a few days. Father He suddenly became even more daring . . .<\/span><\/p>\r\n Before, he only dared to borrow one or two silver, but this time, he directly borrowed twenty silver and followed others to gamble.<\/span><\/p>\r\n In the gambling house, you were supposed to originally lose nine out of ten bets, and some people with brains might still be able to win some money there. Father He was not smart and had no skills, so he couldn\u2019t even think about it. There was no doubt that twenty silver had gone down the drain again.<\/span><\/p>\r\n He didn\u2019t tell He Chunsheng and He Xiaosheng about it and even wanted to continue borrowing money. It was only that the thugs in the gambling house told the two He brothers about it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cYou take care of it yourself,\u201d said Jiang Zhen after listening to them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cWe . . .\u201d He Chunsheng froze. He simply didn\u2019t know how to solve it, so he came to Jiang Zhen.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cThere is still one day left. If you can\u2019t solve this problem, you don\u2019t need to go to the capital,\u201d Jiang Zhen said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n People like He Chunsheng and He Xiaosheng could still be used, but he didn\u2019t want to be entangled with a person like Father He. If these two couldn\u2019t deal with their own father, he would have to give up on them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Can\u2019t go to the capital?<\/span><\/i> He Chunsheng was stupefied then pulled He Xiasheng over and said to Jiang Zhen, \u201cDon\u2019t worry, Boss. I will take care of this matter.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n He didn\u2019t dare to delay any longer, pulled his brother and darted off quickly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Since Jiang Zhen accepted him and He Xiasheng, they didn\u2019t have to go hungry anymore. After coming back from the trip this time, they had become the envy of everyone in the village.<\/span><\/p>\r\n He Chunsheng was already in his early twenties, and there was someone he liked. Before, he always thought there was no hope for him to marry the one he liked, but now . . . he wasn\u2019t hopeless at all. But if his father kept making trouble, he was afraid that this hope would soon go up in smoke.<\/span><\/p>\r\n He Xiasheng and He Qiusheng, if they kept going like this, their lives would be destroyed sooner or later.<\/span><\/p>\r\n When He Chunsheng returned home, he saw his father eating.<\/span><\/p>\r\n After He Chunsheng went out of the house with Jiang Zhen, he earned money, and with that money, he bought delicious food to bring home. While his mother was reluctant to eat the food, she let Father He eat it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cHave you asked Jiang Zhen? He should be able to wipe out that debt, right? He is a manager of Hongxing Gambling House!\u201d Father He said. \u201cAnd you guys, you\u2019re all going to follow Master Zheng to the capital. I only owe twenty to thirty silver, what are you doing with me . . .\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n Before Father He could finish speaking, He Chunsheng had already dragged him away from the table. Father He, who was caught off guard, immediately let out a startled cry.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cChunsheng, what are you doing?\u201d Mother He hurriedly went to help Father He.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cMother, Jiang Zhen is going to drive us away,\u201d He Chunsheng said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cHow could that be?\u201d Mother He got worried. \u2018\u2018Doesn\u2019t he value you guys very much? Why would he want to drive you away?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cFather is causing trouble everywhere. How can he not drive us away? With such a father, Xiasheng and I won\u2019t be able to find work in the future! We won’t be able to get married and have children either! And Qiusheng, what is the use of his good looks? Even if he gets married, such a father will probably go to his door to borrow money every day. His new family will be annoyed and will probably overwork him to death!\u201d He Chunsheng said angrily to his mother.<\/span><\/p>\r\n The fact that their father was like this had nothing to do with their mother, but he couldn\u2019t understand why his mother couldn\u2019t think of them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cIt won\u2019t happen . . . ,\u201d said Mother He. \u201cThere must be a way . . .\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cWhat can be done? Now that he owes Hongxing Gambling House more than thirty silver, can he come up with the money? Do you have money?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n At this point, He Chunsheng became angry with his mother. Although his father went out to gamble every day, he still returned home to eat and sleep. Could his mother really miss the difference in his father\u2019s face when he went gambling? Why didn\u2019t she tell him and Xiasheng about it? And why did she give Father He good food and drink?<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cYou have done so much work for that Jiang Zhen. How can he drive you away? That\u2019s not gonna happen! You should go to him and ask for compensation!\u201d He Father said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n As soon as his words fell, He Chunsheng had already pulled him up and walked away with him despite his resistance.<\/span><\/p>\r\n He Chunsheng directly dragged Father He to Hongxing Gambling House, asked He Xiaosheng to guard him, and then went to find the casino manager, Zhang.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Before, he wouldn\u2019t even dare to enter the gambling shop, but after going out with Jiang Zhen, he became much bolder and wasn\u2019t afraid to face Manager Zhang.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cManager Zhang, I\u2019m sorry. I\u2019m not much of a man, and my father has lost all the money in my family. I can\u2019t pay off the gambling debt he owes,\u201d He Chunsheng apologized to Manager Zhang.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cIt is nothing, nothing.\u201d Manager Zhang smiled.<\/span><\/p>\r\n He knew that Jiang Zhen was highly valued by Young Master Zheng, so he was more forgiving of Father He after learning that both of his sons were working under Jiang Zhen. In fact, he was trying to sell Jiang Zhen a favor. As such, he naturally didn\u2019t care if Father He could pay back the money.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cManager Zhang, please keep this money in mind. I will certainly pay it back later. Besides, I have one more thing I\u2019d like to ask Manager Zhang to help me with,\u201d He Chunsheng said and bowed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cWhat?\u201d Manager Zhang showed some interest.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cI hope Manager Zhang can keep my father as a worker in the gambling house. Manager Zhang, to the outside world, as well as to my father, just say that I don\u2019t want to pay back this money and want him to work to pay it back by himself . . . With so much money, he will probably need to work for twenty years,\u201d He Chunsheng said. \u201cMy father is only forty years old this year, so he can work for another twenty years without any problem. He can do all kinds of dirty work, and he doesn\u2019t even need to be paid!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u201cYou\u2019re a wise man.\u201d Manager Zhang was startled at first but then laughed. \u201cOkay. I will let him work for me in the future. Don\u2019t worry. I\u2019ll let someone watch over him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n Having been in charge of the gambling shop for a long time, Manager Zhang had seen a lot of gamblers. As long as the family was soft on the gambler . . . It was no use for the gambler to make any promises. He would gamble again and again.<\/span><\/p>\r\n He originally wanted to get rid of this account and pull some strings with Jiang Zhen or the men under Jiang Zhen, but now it seemed that . . . maybe there was another way.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Manager Zhang agreed to keep Father He.<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Edited by : Faro<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Proofreader: Taalia<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Support translation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Butcher Jiang and old lady Jiang hadn’t been good to Eldest Jiang mainly because of superstition.
