Dressed as a villain's sister, she became rich by relying on patriotism

It was late at night, and Zhou Ting and Zhou Ning were curled up in the basement as usual. Suddenly, a deep and rough male voice broke the silence - Zhou Qiren was back!

"Can't you bastards hear that I'm back? You're sleeping like dead pigs! I've been waiting outside the door for so long!" Zhou Qiren was swearing and roaring angrily. His vicious voice filled the entire room.

Facing Zhou Qiren's rebuke, Li Ling apologized carefully: "You didn't say you would go home tonight, and you also had the key to the house, so I didn't pay attention..." Her tone was unusually gentle, completely different from her usual fierce look when dealing with Zhou Ting and Zhou Ning.

"How dare you argue with me, you bitch! No matter if I come back or not, you have to wait obediently! You rely on me for support, and you eat for free with a burden. If you don't want to stay, get out! You really don't know what's good for you!"

Accompanied by furious curses, fists rained down on the woman, whose cries and pleas for mercy pierced the darkness sharply.

Obviously, Zhou Qiren was in a terrible mood today.

Zhou Ning and his sister were not happy about Li Ling being beaten, because every time Li Ling suffered such misfortune, she would become more and more aggressive in trying to regain balance from them, and would try every means to torture the two siblings to vent her anger.

"No, I have to go out and see Zhou Qiren." Zhou Ning gritted his teeth and said, suppressing the fear in his heart.

Zhou Ting was not afraid of Zhou Qiren, as he would only get beaten up at most; but he was really worried that his sister would get hurt: "Isn't it a bad idea to go out now?"

"Zhou Qiren comes and goes in a hurry. If I don't seize this opportunity, I don't know when I will see him again." Zhou Ning insisted.

When Zhou Ning first met this scumbag father in the book, his stereotype of gangsters was deepened. Li Ling held her head, like a quail, enduring Zhou Qiren's beatings and kicks, not daring to resist.

"Dad." A faint cry suddenly rang out.

Zhou Qiren raised his head suddenly, and his eyes met with Zhou Ning who was standing at the entrance of the basement. Zhou Ning had a bandage on his head, and his body looked extremely thin due to long-term malnutrition. It seemed that he could not withstand a punch from Zhou Qiren.

"What are you doing out here? To watch the fun? Go back to sleep." Zhou Qiren didn't care about the wound on Zhou Ning's head at all and shouted at him.

"I came to see you. I missed you a little, Dad."

Especially, especially the money in your pocket.

Zhou Qiren was stunned. This answer was totally beyond his expectation. Zhou Ning had always been timid and cowardly in front of him. He didn't even dare to breathe, which made people feel annoyed. Was he taking the wrong medicine today?

He thought so and asked.

"I didn't take any medicine. I just missed you." Zhou Ning tried her best to act pitiful, like a hurt little girl who wanted to find support.

Zhou Ning's words "I miss you" immediately made Zhou Qiren helpless.

Zhou Qiren has never encountered such a thing in his life. Those women outside say they miss him, but they turn around and flirt with other men and say they miss them.

Although he was promiscuous, he was always very careful and never left any offspring, for fear that those women would make him a fool. As for Zhou Ting and Zhou Ning, Zhou Ting was not close to him and had a sullen face all day long, as if everyone owed him money. Zhou Ning was timid and would hide when he saw him, and he did not have any affection for his children.

Zhou Qiren kept silent with a dark face, but he stopped scolding and felt a strange feeling in his heart. He had drunk a lot of wine today and lost a lot of money, so he was in a bad mood.

"What's wrong with your head?" Zhou Qiren pulled over a stool and sat down, hugging his shoulders and looking at Zhou Ning.

"I accidentally bumped into it." Zhou Ning obediently poured a glass of water for Zhou Qiren, "Dad, drink some water."

Zhou Qiren looked at Zhou Ning for a while, and seeing that she really had no intention of complaining, he glanced at Li Ling who was still curled up on the ground, and finally said nothing, took the water and drank it. He secretly laughed at himself, thinking that he was too suspicious. Zhou Ning was so young, how could she have so many thoughts?

Zhou Ning is not stupid. He has finally found an opportunity to show off his abilities and will not waste it on Li Ling. Everything will have to wait until he gets the money.

Zhou Ning skillfully massaged her father's legs and shoulders, acting like a filial daughter. Zhou Qiren thoroughly enjoyed this unprecedented moment of warmth.

Zhou Ning didn't ask for anything from beginning to end. Zhou Qiren was in a good mood. Before leaving, he took out a hundred-dollar bill from his bag and said, "This is for you and your brother. Spend it sparingly."

Zhou Ning was a little excited because she finally saw the money these two days. As soon as she took the money, she caught a glimpse of Li Ling hiding on the side, and Li Ling's eyes were also fixed on the hundred-yuan bill.

Hong Kong at that time was not like modern times. Ordinary workers only earned about a hundred dollars a month. Some people only earned a few dollars a day for hard labor. The white-collar class with higher incomes only earned three to five hundred dollars a month. A few cents could buy a full meal. Zhou Qiren was a gambler and would win or lose hundreds of dollars in one night, so a hundred-dollar bill was nothing to him.

"Is this money just for us?" Zhou Ning asked deliberately because he was afraid that Li Ling would snatch it after Zhou Qiren left.

Zhou Qiren understood what his daughter meant: "This is only for you. If anyone dares to take this money, I will not be polite."

Li Ling shuddered, not daring to look at Zhou Qiren, cursing in her heart, she worked so hard every day, and only got a few hundred dollars a month for eating, sleeping and playing with him, but this damn girl got so much money just by being good for a while.

Zhou Qiren dragged Li Ling into the room, while Zhou Ning returned to the basement clutching the hundred-dollar bill tightly.

"This hundred dollars can provide me with food and clothing for several months! I will change it all into coins tomorrow, otherwise it will be too eye-catching."

Zhou Ning stuffed the money into Zhou Ting's hands. She was thin and small now, and it was not safe for her to hold the money. Zhou Ting tightly grasped the hundred yuan. This was the first time he had received so much money, and he still relied on his sister to please him. He felt a little uncomfortable.

"Brother, where do you think Zhou Qiren hid his money?"

What can one hundred yuan do, and Zhou Qiren gave it to him on a whim. It's like buying a pet suddenly. At first, he feels fresh and plays with it for a while, but after a long time, Zhou Ning is still a money-loser in Zhou Qiren's mind.

"What kind of money does he have? He either gambles or spends it on prostitutes, and he even does things he shouldn't." Zhou Ting said in a cold voice, clearly looking down on Zhou Qiren.

"Brother, do you remember that Zhou Qiren ran home injured some time ago and lay at home for several days? At that time, he was carrying a snakeskin bag, which should have contained money."

Although the author did not give too much description to the supporting character Zhou Ning, Zhou Ning has the memories of the original owner, so many things can be figured out by piecing them together.

Zhou Ting's eyes flickered, of course he knew about the money, but he didn't want Zhou Ning to touch it, because it was the black money that Zhou Qiren had swallowed, and because of this, many people around the house were watching them.

"It would be better if I could embezzle the money. If I lose it, Zhou Qiren wouldn't dare to tell anyone." Zhou Ning lay on the bed, thinking about his plan.
