When Cheng Mingyue heard the 1,000 yuan, her jaw dropped. She stared at Sheng Dalong and said, "What did you do to deserve 1,000 yuan? Where can I get you 1,000 yuan?"

Sheng Dalong didn't care anymore. He just knew that if he couldn't pay the money back, the other party would chop off his arms and legs. He said impatiently, "Hurry up and give me the money, one thousand yuan."

Cheng Mingyue was so angry that she pushed Sheng Dalong hard: "Tell me, what did you do last night? Why did you ask for so much money? Tell me quickly, do you want to piss me off to death?"

Sheng Dalong had no choice but to tell the story of his gambling, crying as he spoke: "They are liars, they did it on purpose."

When Cheng Mingyue heard that Sheng Dalong was gambling, she was so angry that her hair was about to explode. She reached out and patted his shoulder: "Why don't you do something else? You actually gamble. Is that something you can't touch? Are you trying to piss me off to death? How can I support such a useless thing like you?"

The more he beat her, the angrier she got: "Where can I get you money? If you have the ability to gamble, then find a way to pay it back. I don't have any money."

Sheng Dalong started crying: "If you don't give me money, they will break my arms and legs. Mom, you can't just ignore me."

Cheng Mingyue said harsh words, but she couldn't really ignore Sheng Dalong. She only had this one son and she was counting on him to support her in her old age and to have a bright future so that she could stand tall in front of relatives and friends.

But she didn't have that much money. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She couldn't help crying and started to criticize Sheng Dalong: "Don't you know how much money your family has? We spent a lot of money this time, and I even asked for such a long leave from work. Where do you want me to get the money?"

"You are going to force your mother to death. Why do you want to gamble when there is nothing else you can do?"

Wang Da came back from a walk and heard Li Cheng Mingyue crying again. He came over to see what was happening. He found out that Sheng Dalong had gone out to gamble and owed someone a thousand yuan. He was also shocked: "How dare you go to a place like that? You are such a bold kid."

Afraid that Cheng Mingyue would ask for money, he spoke first: "What can I say about you, kid? Where can your mother get this thousand yuan? It's just after the New Year, and the money at home is almost spent. I still have 60 yuan at home. I'll give you 50 yuan and keep 10 yuan for living expenses."

"Mingyue, think of a way to get the money together quickly. These people are not easy to deal with. If you don't pay them, they will really take your life."

Wang Da said so, and Cheng Mingyue knew that she would never be able to borrow money from Wang Da, but they only had one relative in Beijing, Cheng Mingzhong.

Where else can I get money if I don’t ask them for a loan?

Sheng Dalong was panicked. What would he do if he had no money? He grabbed Cheng Mingyue's hand and forced her to find a solution.

In the evening, when Cheng Mingzhong came back, he was stopped by Wang Da before he even entered the house. Wang Da pushed him outside to talk and told him about Sheng Dalong's gambling and debts.

Cheng Mingzhong couldn't help but frowned: "How could Dalong touch these things?"

Wang Da warned him, "I don't care, but you have to listen to me this time. You can't give them money out of kindness. You're the only one working in the family, and it's not easy to save money these years. Our eldest will need money to get married in two years after serving in the army. We also have two younger children who will also need money to get married in the future. If you lend them this money, it will be gone without return."

"My mother's family got into trouble, and I didn't even give a penny. If you dare to promise to give me money, we won't marry her."

Cheng Mingzhong didn't say anything, but he really wanted to help. He couldn't just watch something happen to the child.

Wang Da knew the man's character, whether he was soft-hearted or a pushover, and said indignantly: "Look at what they have done in the past half a month. If you want to help, I will take the children back to my parents' home and we will get a divorce. Also, if this matter of his becomes a big deal in the compound, who will be the most embarrassed in the end? But you!"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and she said something cruel: "If you dare to interfere, we'll get divorced!"

He turned around and slammed the door and went into the house.

…

Sheng An Ning naturally didn't know what was happening outside at home, and Sheng Cheng'an would not tell her about these nonsense, for fear of defiling his sister's ears.

After all, it wasn't any glorious means used.

Zhou Chaoyang was bored at home, so he dragged Sheng Chengan to play Landlord in Sheng An Ning's room, with notes stuck on their faces.

Sheng Anning's schedule was packed with Zhou Chaoyang. She didn't even have time to read, let alone daydream. The three little ones were also very well-behaved. They would fall asleep after eating and didn't cry or make a fuss, which was very worry-free.

Zhou Chaoyang pressed the note on his face while talking to Sheng Anning, "I will be going to study in a few days, so I can only come back at night. I was thinking of taking you for a good walk after you are out of confinement, and the weather will be warm by then."

Sheng Anning was not in a hurry: "We can wait for you to rest, we won't leave."

Zhou Chaoyang thought about it and agreed: "It will be a full moon in a week. I heard from my parents last night that they want to hold a full moon banquet. We haven't had a wedding in a long time, and we want to have a lively party."

After saying that, he snorted coldly: "We should hold a lively event to let those red-eye patients take a good look, as if there is really no one left in our Zhou family. It's just that my uncle and his family are abroad, and my other brothers are also in other provinces, which makes it seem that there are not many people in our family in Beijing."

Sheng Anning was happy: "Don't be angry, as long as we live happily, life is for ourselves, not for others."

Zhou Chaoyang shook his head, and the note on his face swayed: "No, I just want to let the pink-eye disease see how good our family is now, so that they will be envious and jealous to death!"

Sheng Chengan clicked his tongue: "Look how petty you are."

Zhou Chaoyang glared in dissatisfaction: "Who is petty? If I were petty, I wouldn't have said anything when you and my sister-in-law exchanged cards just now. Do you really think I'm blind?"

As he said this, he grabbed a piece of paper and stuck it on Sheng Chengan's face.

Sheng Chengan jumped up and hid, and Zhou Chaoyang chased after him.

Sheng An Ning just smiled as she watched the two of them fighting.

Finally, Zhou Chaoyang successfully stuck the note on Sheng Chengan's face, and then he stopped happily: "You actually said that I was narrow-minded. I won't play with you anymore. Sister-in-law, do you want to eat some fried crunchy snacks? I'll go buy some."

After saying that, without Sheng An Ning's answer, he skipped out of the door.

Sheng Chengan pulled the paper on his face, feeling somewhat helpless: "How can this person be more childish than you, like a lunatic."

Sheng Anning became happy: "Chaoyang is very good. If she hears you, she will definitely punish you."

Zhou Chaoyang put on his coat and went out happily. Zhou Hongyun was still shouting from behind: "It's time to eat. Where are you going?"

"be right back."

Zhou Chaoyang rode her bicycle out of the gate, but unexpectedly was blocked by Hu Ling. Before she could speak, Hu Ling spoke first: "Zhou Chaoyang, I have something to tell you about your life experience!"
