At dinner time, Xia Shige had just brought a dish of fragrant fried pork tenderloin to the table when he suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door.

Grandma's eyes flashed with doubt, and she murmured, "Who would come over so late?"

Who will come?

Thinking about what happened today, Xia Shige and Sun Yuegui looked at each other, and suddenly they had a bad feeling in their hearts...

A familiar voice came from outside the door - Xia Ziqi shouted loudly outside the door: "Grandma! Uncle! It's me, Ziqi, please open the door quickly!"

Hearing Xia Ziqi's voice, Xia Shige's heart finally died - it turned out that truth could not be hidden, and it seemed that this matter could not be hidden from grandma...

Xia Guocheng had no idea what had happened during the day. When he heard Xia Ziqi calling him outside the door, he subconsciously ran over, opened the door, and let Xia Ziqi in.

Looking at Xia Ziqi's face that was a little red from the cold, Xia Guocheng asked in confusion: "Ziqi, why are you here so late? Why are you here alone? Where are your parents?"

Xia Ziqi grabbed Xia Guocheng's clothes like a life-saving straw. He looked up at Xia Guocheng and said anxiously, "Uncle, can you lend me some rice and coal? I will definitely pay you back in the future!"

Xia Guocheng was a little confused when he heard this - he knew that Sun Yuegui and Xia Shige had just delivered coal to 1101 not long ago, so how come they had used it up so quickly?

Just when Xia Guocheng was at a loss, Xia Shige walked over silently.

Xia Shige looked at Xia Ziqi coldly and said quietly, "Didn't we just give you 100 kilograms of rice and 100 kilograms of coal this morning? How come you used them up so quickly?"

Xia Ziqi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said hesitantly: "I, I..."

He stuttered for a long time but couldn't make any sense.

Xia Shige looked at Xia Ziqi with a sullen face and said in a cold voice, "Xia Ziqi, you and your father went to gamble again, didn't you? You lost all the 100 kilograms of rice and 100 kilograms of coal, didn't you?"

Xia Ziqi didn't dare to face Xia Shige. His eyes flickered and he whispered, "I, I just wanted to turn over. I didn't expect it to turn out like this..."

After listening to the conversation between the two, Xia Guocheng could more or less guess what had happened - Xia Ziqi also went to gamble!

Realizing this, Xia Guocheng was instantly furious!

His face turned red with anger. He kicked away Xia Ziqi who was pulling his clothes, pointed at Xia Ziqi's nose and shouted angrily: "You are actually gambling too?! How dare you!"

Xia Guocheng felt that his eyes were darkening from time to time. The Xia family had almost been destroyed by Xia Guozhang, but he didn't expect that Xia Ziqi would become a gambler now!

Both father and son are evildoers!

Looking at the furious Xia Guocheng, Xia Ziqi's knees suddenly softened and he knelt down with a plop. He cried and said, "Uncle, I'm luckier than my dad! I almost won everything! I was just a little bit away!"

After hearing what Xia Ziqi said, Xia Shige was stunned.

—— She originally thought that although Xia Ziqi went to the gambling game with Xia Guozhang, since he was only sixteen years old, it should be Xia Guozhang who gambled and he just watched from the side.

But I never expected that this little cousin is also a gambler! He actually sat at the table a long time ago!
