The world begins with shameless people

Juvenile detention center, activity area.

Debbie sat on a stool in the corner of the playground, raising her head and looking at the sky.

Seven days.

Fiona, Ian...these family members only came to visit once and never again.

When will it be next time?

A week from now, two weeks from now, a month from now?

Debbie smiled, and there was hatred in her smile.

Is this family?

Come to visit once, fulfill your obligations, and that’s it?

The more Debbie thought about it, the more she hated her, and her eyes gradually became sharper.

I don’t know how much time passed before a prison guard came over and said, “Gallagher, it’s time to see a doctor.”

When Debbie heard this, she looked away and looked at the prison guard. She was stunned for two seconds, then silently stood up and followed.

After walking for a few minutes and walking into the psychiatrist's office, Debbie sat down on the sofa in front of the psychiatrist without saying a word.

The psychiatrist smiled at Debbie with a very warm smile, then opened the medical record and said, "Debbie, let's continue where we left off last time. You continue to talk about your family's situation."

Debbie didn't hate this psychiatrist, and she happened to be really unhappy with her family right now, so she didn't leave any ink and simply spoke.

I can't stop saying this.

The psychiatrist listened silently and took notes from time to time.

Debbie's medical records were filled with more and more information.

Among them, the psychological distortion, the family environment is very bad, the brothers and sisters have serious problems, etc. are very obvious.

When Debbie stopped speaking, the psychiatrist thought for a moment and found his voice. He asked softly, "Debbie, do you think the reason why you kidnapped that little boy has something to do with your family?"

How could Debbie understand such a complicated problem? She frowned and said, "What does it matter?"

"Your brother Lip and your sister Fiona often do some very bottomless and even illegal things. Don't you think you are influenced by them?" the psychiatrist asked again.

Debbie still couldn't understand, "That's because my family is poor and they have to do those things."

Although this answer was basically wrong, the psychiatrist didn't care. He smiled and said, "You said that when you were very young, you started stealing milk, newspapers and other things your family needed..."

"In your opinion, you have to steal because your family is poor, right?"

Debbie could understand this and nodded, "Yes, that's what Lip said. If we poor people want to survive and live a good life, we can only rely on stealing and cheating."

After hearing this, the psychiatrist immediately wrote this down in the medical record.

Then, the psychiatrist thought about it again and said with a smile, "Debbie, last time and this time, you said many times that your family was poor."

"Let's talk about how poor your family is first, okay?"

Debbie had no objection, "Okay."

"Then tell me how your family's poverty is reflected in what aspects," the psychiatrist said, handing over the right to speak to Debbie.

Debbie is out of ink, blah blah blah, talking again and again.

While listening, the psychiatrist took detailed notes, writing down what Debbie said about the various expenses of the Gallagher family.

About ten minutes passed.

Debbie stopped talking.

The psychiatrist was not in a hurry to speak, but looked at the records he had just made and calculated silently.

It didn't take long.

The calculation has results.

When the psychiatrist was a child, his family was very poor and there were many people... In those years, the family lived frugally and lived a very hard life.

Therefore, although Debbie hardly gave the specific amount of the Gallagher family's expenses, the psychiatrist was able to roughly estimate it.

The estimated results are very interesting.

Are the Gallaghers poor?

Poor indeed.

But part of this kind of poverty can actually be avoided...

For example, waste this piece...

Food, electricity bills, daily necessities...

The Gallagher family seems to have no concept of frugality. On the whole, it is very contradictory to be poor, but they also want to live like a normal family, and want to have a quality of life that is not inferior to that of a normal family...

Fiona works several jobs, Ian has a job, Lip can occasionally get money with his cleverness, and Carl even goes to the church to steal the money box...

After one month, the Gallagher family's income is not too low, at least not exaggeratedly low.

Then, because they spent money without a plan and didn't know how to save, the Gallagher family became very poor, and they stole and cheated again...

and so.

Are the Gallaghers really so poor that they need children like Debbie to have their minds deformed to this extent?

not at all.

Thinking of this, the psychiatrist sighed silently.

Actually.

Psychiatrists have seen similar situations many times with many people.

Many people, as soon as they get money, spend a lot of money on food and drink. They quickly spend all the money that could last for a month. Then they feel that they are too poor and accuse the world of being unfair. Justification for criminal behavior…

'Ordinary people should live an ordinary life. '

'How much money you have, how many things you can do. '

The psychiatrist spoke silently and realized that Debbie's treatment must change a little bit. He should not start directly from the perspective of the Gallagher family's poverty, but should start from Debbie's family...

In other words.

The psychiatrist plans to let Debbie know how serious the problems in Lip and Fiona's family are.

"Thanks, Debbie, I understand. So, let's talk about Fiona," the psychiatrist said with a smile.

Debbie had no doubt about it, answered honestly, and talked about Fiona.

*******************

It's about three o'clock in the afternoon.

A dilapidated pickup truck parked in front of Gallagher's house.

Lip leaned on crutches and slowly got out of the car, stood on the ground, looked at the familiar house, grinned, and felt extremely nostalgic.

Home, sweet home!

It feels so good to see home again after so many days.

Lip smiled and looked at it for a few seconds before looking away. He turned around slowly, took out the backpack containing the meditation items, and threw it to the ground. Then, he thanked the driver in an old-fashioned way, "See you another day, Wally."

Wally raised one hand and made a cool goodbye gesture. Without saying anything, he stepped on the accelerator and left quickly.

Lip didn't care and didn't waste any time. He immediately shouted at the Gallagher family at the top of his voice, "Fiona! Fiona!"

Fiona was watching TV with Liam on the sofa on the first floor. When she heard the familiar voice of Lip, she immediately got excited, then immediately got up and ran out.

soon.

Fiona put the backpack containing the walking items on her back, and kept caring about Lip with her mouth moving happily, while she carefully supported Lip.

After entering the house, Lip sat down on the sofa, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with great emotion, "I'm finally back."

Fiona smiled brightly, "It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."

The two siblings just chirped together.

Done.

"Fiona, it's business, go ahead and deliver everything in the bag," after enough gossip, Lip changed his tone and said to Fiona.

Fiona was stunned for a moment, then opened her backpack and looked at it, "Okay, I'll go right away."

"Well, also, give me your cell phone, I have to call Karen," Lip missed Karen terribly after not having fxxk for so many days.

Fiona didn't like Karen very much, but she could understand Lip's needs in this regard. After a moment's hesitation, she had to take out her phone and handed it over, "Remember to use protection, okay?"

"I know, go ahead," Lip said impatiently.

Fiona said nothing, picked up her backpack, and hurried out to deliver the goods.
