System: Card drawing in progress

Maybe fishing has advantages for novices, the two of them caught several fish easily. Bian Qiyun was even lucky enough to catch a sea monster, a red shrimp over one meter tall. If you don’t look carefully, you would think it was cooked!

It is a first-level small shrimp. It is not very strong, but it tastes very good. It is good news for people who like to eat shrimp. What about a one-meter-tall shrimp? How many meals can you eat?

A shrimp dinner is totally feasible.

After having fun, they took their spoils and headed towards Haicheng, where they saw the old man.

"This fate is quite strong!"

After taking a look, Lin Chuxia looked away. It was too much of a coincidence that they met again and again.

However, the beach was so flat that one could see at a glance the sun spots on the old man's face and his exposed tanned hands. It was obvious that this was his job and it was not uncommon to encounter such things.

We will meet again when we come out later.

After another big meal, Lin Chuxia touched her stomach worriedly. She felt very full and hoped that she would not gain weight. If she gained weight, Sister Cen Xi would go crazy and she would be the one in trouble.

Thinking of eating tasteless meals every day, she felt like the sky was falling.

She still needs to restrain herself and not stop exercising.

……

She was busy sea fishing that day and didn't go shopping much. She hadn't visited many shops in Haicheng.

I took the octopus balls from the merchant, took a bite, and my eyes lit up. This was the taste. There seemed to be someone selling grilled squid in front. The aroma wafted from far away. I felt like trying it.

He took Bian Qiyun and left.

Wang Lixia and a few others followed closely behind.

There was a noisy noise coming from a distance. Lin Chuxia took the squid, paid the money, and looked in the direction of the quarrel, feeling a little curious. Who wouldn't like to watch the fun?

He pulled Bian Qiyun inside and actually let her stand in the front, where she had the best view to watch the show.

Her round eyes widened. There was actually someone she knew, one of the parties involved, the old man. Lin Chuxia looked up at the sky. Hmm, it was very good. The sun was hanging high in the sky.

It makes people unable to open their eyes and dare not look directly at the sun's rays.

Logically speaking, the old man should be at the beach at this time, so why is he here?

The other party was a man with regular features and looked honest. The two were arguing so hard that their faces turned red and their necks became thick. If no one hadn't intervened, they would have fought.

After listening for a while, I didn't understand, so I simply pricked up my ears and started listening to the whispers of people around me. Only then did I figure out the whole story.

The man was the old man's son. He had a simple and honest personality, just like his appearance. He married a wife who was graceful and generous, and had a well-behaved and obedient daughter. But that was before. Later, he was cheated and became addicted to gambling.

He gambled away all the family savings and mortgaged the house. His wife had a big fight with him and was beaten, so she divorced him outright.

He didn't even bring his daughter.

It is said that the man took advantage of his wife's love for their daughter and wanted to control his wife. He did not want to divorce her. He was almost penniless, but he still wanted to make a comeback through gambling and wanted to sell his wife's wedding ring.

Not only that, he also wanted to borrow money from his wife's relatives, and he didn't let his relatives off either, hoping to turn his life around overnight.

His wife was deeply heartbroken, but she couldn't bear to leave the girl. It was the girl who took the initiative to persuade her, and they finally divorced.

The family was separated and he went into hiding, leaving an old man and a daughter to face the debt collectors.

I don't know how many people cursed that man behind his back, saying he was heartless, a spendthrift, and a lunatic.

All the relatives on both sides were offended at once, and they would never have any contact with each other again. The way to borrow money to repay debts was also blocked.

The old man could only drag his old body around to find ways to make money and pay off his debts. He didn't dare get sick or close his eyes, for fear of leaving the little girl alone and helpless.

Lin Chuxia looked at the old man thoughtfully, so this is why the old man works so hard?

Knowing the whole story, you can completely understand the argument.

The old man clenched his fists, wishing he could punch the person in front of him in the face. Why had he never hit the person in front of him before?

During those days when he was like a madman, when I learned that he was gambling, when I learned that he beat his daughter-in-law, when he asked relatives to borrow money, when he wanted to sell the house...

The familiar face of the person in front of him seemed more and more strange to him, and he even felt a little powerless.

"Ah Sheng, how did you become like this? It's me, I didn't teach you well..."

The old man suddenly looked several years older, and his straight back became hunched.

The strong man still did not repent, and every word he said was heart-wrenching:

"You are so sorry for me. You are useless, you can't make any money, and you keep asking me to be patient, kind, and do this and that. Am I your dog? Why should I listen to you? Huh?

Don’t I feel tired? You old fool, you still want me to support you, ha, you are dreaming, I will just not let you support me.

The house is mine anyway, so it’s none of my business what I do with it. I’ll just sell it.

You dare to hit me..."

He keeps calling me "Laozi" and "Old Immortal" all the time, and it seems that they have been holding a grudge against each other for a long time.

In other words, the "him" of today is the real him, and the honest and simple appearance before was just an act.

With such acting skills, there is nothing he can’t do!

There were many people in the onlookers who felt very sorry for the situation in the past. After all, the men at that time were really good-natured and helpful. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that gambling was harmful, and that the men today were somewhat hopeless.

An old lady sneered disdainfully:

"Tsk, there's nothing to be sorry about. He was just pretending to be good in the past. This guy has been a bad seed since he was a child."

As she spoke, she looked around cautiously before lowering her voice to talk to the other middle-aged woman. If they were not so close, Lin Chuxia and Bian Qiyun would not have been able to hear clearly.

"I'm telling you, you know I've always had a bad attitude towards this guy, not because of those trivial things, but because I saw him killing a cat before, and his eyes were so cold at the time that I didn't even dare to say anything.

Without changing his expression, he tied up the cat, cut off its ears and tail..."

As she spoke, the old lady's face turned pale for a moment, as if she was recalling that scene, and she skipped describing those scenes:

"The cat died a tragic death, unable to even make a sound. After seeing that scene, I lost my appetite for a long time. He was very young at the time, but seeing him like that still frightened me.

From then on, I paid special attention to him and found that he liked to catch small animals and then kill them cruelly. Do you know the cats and dogs in the community before? Aunt Zhao even asked us about it, saying that there were fewer of them when they were fed, and asked us if we had seen it.

I didn’t dare to say anything at the time, I thought that’s what a murderer looks like…”
