"Mom, give me another two thousand yuan. I want to bet on myself to win!"

Yi Guohai looked at Zhao Guifang and extended his hand to speak.

These blind fools missed out on a chance to make a fortune.

They're not destined for wealth or good fortune; they'll just have to cry and regret it later.

They wouldn't give up this opportunity to make a fortune; they would definitely seize it themselves.

Looking at Yi Guohai's stubborn expression, Zhao Guifang felt a chill run down her spine. Suppressing her unease, she said, "Guohai, the family really has no money left..."

Zhao Guifang felt like she was walking a tightrope over a cliff, with the slightest misstep leading to her doom.

Now that Xia Yuwei is no longer there for Yi Guohai to vent his anger on, there is no one else in the family.

If things don't go as planned, this old mother will become a punching bag.

Zhao Guifang was in a state of utter confusion, and a crazy idea surged into her mind.

When things are bad at home, a daughter gets married to change her fate.

Xia Yuwei, unable to bear it any longer, finally snapped and left with her daughter to change her fate.

She has lived in this place for decades, raising her children as a widow. Now that her daughter can't rely on her and her son has some mental issues, why doesn't she run away?

Selling the land to buy a house will always leave you with some money!

Zhao Guifang made up her mind; she was going to run away too!

"Useless trash, how could you be broke? Where's the family heirloom my father left behind? Give it to me!"

Yi Guohai's eyes were sinister and frightening.

Zhao Guifang shuddered. Before she could speak, Yi Guohai had already gone into the house and started searching.

Seeing Yi Guohai like this, Zhao Guifang's resolve only grew stronger.

Yi Guohai found a box, picked it up, and walked out.

With tears welling in her eyes, Zhao Guifang choked out, "Guohai, that was the last silver dollar your father left behind. If we sell it again, we'll never have another one..."

“Listen to me, we’re not going to participate in the competition. Let’s just live a good life together, you go find a job on a construction site…”

Zhao Guifang eventually softened and wanted to give Yi Guohai another chance.

She knew better than anyone that her son had no chance of winning the competition. She had only said it casually to comfort him, but she never expected him to take it seriously.

Rather than participating in the competition, it would be more successful for him to be lucky enough to catch Su Luo and sleep with her again.

But with his current luck, he can't accomplish anything.

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is Su Luo's test for me. Tian Tian still cares about me. I was confused back then. I'm just getting things back on track now."

Yi Guohai glared fiercely at Zhao Guifang, then strode away.

Yi Guohai left resolutely, and Zhao Guifang wiped away her tears and turned to go inside.

She had given her final advice; she had done her best.

Zhao Guifang took the house deed and went out.

...

The Su family home was especially lively on New Year's Eve.

More people are staying at home this year than in previous years.

Liu Xiaohua even brought out her best skills from her entire life.

Zhou Chunmei and Li Xue, Su Chengguo and Su Chenggong were all helping out.

Meanwhile, the others weren't idle either.

Killing fish, washing vegetables, peeling garlic, etc.

Everyone worked together to prepare this sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.

Xing Yuan brought his parents, Lu Chen and his parents, Hu Fei and her cousin, and three people from the Xuanmen sect whom Liu Xue knew.

Su Tiantian received so many red envelopes that her hands were sore from receiving them.

Even her older brothers gave her New Year's money in a very formal way.

Su Tiantian smiled broadly. She loved the warmth of being surrounded by her family and also enjoyed making friends.

After the New Year, the dad selection competition will begin.

After a unanimous discussion among the four older brothers, they finally selected three segments.

First, appearance matters. Contestants can showcase their charm in all aspects, and the winner is determined by the audience's vote.

Second, it's about fighting skills. It's a contest of skill, with one-on-one duels decided by drawing lots, and the final winner is determined.

Third, we'll assess intelligence. It's a test of brainpower. Whoever can learn what Su Tiantian requires them to learn in the shortest amount of time will be number one.

In all three stages, the first-place winner can become Su Tiantian's father.

In other words, if there happen to be three first-place winners, Su Tiantian will have three fathers after the competition ends.

The competition was held on the seaside dam.

Many people came that day.

The thousands of participants all put in their best efforts to dress themselves up.

Suits and leather shoes are the choice of most people.

Some people also choose to dress up as ancient princes, scholars, or European nobles.

Yi Guohai managed to put on his once-glorious military uniform, the result of his recent weight loss efforts, but it was still a bit too small, making him look bloated...

"Why are there so many people?"

Yi Guohai felt intimidated by the large crowd. He was inconspicuous and even a little embarrassed in the throng.

His face darkened even more when he saw that Xing Yuan was also wearing a military uniform.

"Uncle Xing."

Su Tiantian was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket and a pair of red cashmere leather shoes. She was very fair-skinned and stood out in the crowd.

Su Luo was wearing a white, knee-length cotton coat, and the mother and daughter seemed to glow.

"Sweet."

Xing Yuan picked up Su Tiantian and smiled.

He doesn't know how to dress himself; wearing a military uniform was his parents' idea.

This is his glorious achievement, and also the time when he looks his best.

"Uncle Lu, Uncle Xu."

Su Tiantian smiled and waved to greet Lu Chen and Xu An.

Lu Chen wore a camel-colored trench coat, making him look like a noble young master who had stepped out of an oil painting.

Xu An was dressed in colorful clothes, but his appearance suited all the patterns.

Su Tiantian got down from Xing Yuan's arms and greeted the others.

Liu Xue is dressed in the attire of an ethnic minority, which makes her look very mysterious.

Lin the Blind was dressed in a Taoist robe.

Wang Haihai was wearing a monk's robe, while the contestants they brought were dressed in Zhongshan suits with slicked-back hair, looking very refined.

Everyone had a number tag on their chest.

Su Tiantian smiled and said loudly, "Welcome everyone to witness the selection competition for Su Tiantian's father. Now, please enter the venue one by one and hand the little flower in your hand to the person with the highest appearance."

There were thousands of participants and several thousand spectators.

Everyone was talking about it, and one by one they went over to throw flowers at Xiaohua.

Yi Guohai was sweating profusely; his hair was wet, and his hairstyle was ruined. People ignored him as they walked by.

Even an unremarkable man next to him received a flower.

The ones who received the most money were Lu Chen, Xing Yuan, and Xu An.

The flower throwing ended.

Yi Guohai didn't have a single one.

As the three people who received the most flowers were invited up, Yi Guohai's expression twisted in disbelief.

"Xing Yuan has 368 flowers, Lu Chen has 361 flowers, and Xu An has 458 flowers. Xu An is in first place in this round!"

Su Xuemin announced in a loud voice.

Xu An was handsome, and from the day he arrived, they had already reserved a place for him in their hearts.

Anyway, my sister can have many dads, and Xu An can be one of them. With that face, taking my sister to school is just too cool.

Xu An smiled and waved to Su Tiantian.

Hu Fei screamed from below the stage, hugging Su Luo and excitedly shouting, "Ahhh, my cousin is number one! I'm going to call my aunt and tell her the good news. They're going to have a granddaughter! Ahhh, Su Luo, we're relatives now!"
