Li Chengfeng lowered his head and thought for a while, then finally used the worst excuse he could: "I owe a gambling debt outside, and those people are pressing me hard. I have to pay it back tonight. If I don't pay it back, they will come to our house tomorrow to take my things. Look at the slap in my face, I really have no choice."
After hearing this, Li Yichen scolded him: "You are really a hopeless case. Grandpa is so sincere in helping you make a living, and you still indulge in depravity. You caused this trouble yourself, and now you come to our house to make trouble. You are so old, and you have the nerve to say this! Is this your house? Why are you using my family's things to pay off your debts?"
"I know I was wrong, Yi Chen, please help Second Grandpa this time. If I don't pay the money back tonight, they will really come to our house to make trouble." Li Chengfeng pleaded.
When Li Yichen heard Li Chengfeng's useless words, he became even more angry, but when he saw his pitiful appearance, he wanted to slap him in the face.
"I can help you pay off your debt, but this is the last time. If you go gambling again in the future, don't let me know. If I find out, I will never let you off easily! Even though you are my grandfather's younger brother, I don't care who you are. If you make me angry, I will beat you up!" Li Yichen said seriously.
Li Chengfeng nodded repeatedly, cursed and swore to never gamble again.
Li Yichen had anticipated that Li Chengfeng would do this, and fortunately he had withdrawn some money in the afternoon and was ready to use it now.
After a while, Li Yichen gave five hundred yuan to Li Chengfeng and asked him to pay off his gambling debts.
Li Chengfeng took the money without even saying thank you. He pouts and takes it reluctantly, apparently thinking it's too little. It's really hard to tell how much a satisfied person would be satisfied with.
I thought the matter was over and that my second grandfather could get rid of this fatal problem. But unexpectedly, something happened again.
Li Yichen's plan was to wait for Shui Shui's family to come back, have a meal together and strengthen their relationship before returning to the army. However, before Shui Shui came back, he found that valuable items in the house had disappeared one after another.
At first, it was the inkstone in my grandfather's room. The inkstone he used was given to my grandfather by a friend of his father when he was 100 days old. After my grandfather grew up and learned to write, he has been using this inkstone for more than 60 years.
Two days ago, it suddenly disappeared.
Li Yichen realized that there was a thief in the house. He quickly checked other rooms and found that a large bag of jewelry, including the gold bracelets left by his mother for his future daughter-in-law, were also missing.
He angrily questioned Li Chengfeng, but Li Chengfeng denied it and stammered, "I...I didn't...how could it be me..."
Li Yichen sneered and said, "If not you, who else could it be? Do you think I don't know who you are? The money I gave you last time was used to pay off the loan sharks. You're itching to gamble, but what should you do if you have no money? So you think of stealing these things from my house! You steal all my things and sell them for money to continue gambling. You are simply hopeless." As he spoke, he pinched Li Chengfeng's neck with his hands. The strength in his hands became stronger and stronger. With a little effort, he could break the bones in his neck.
Li Chengfeng's face became increasingly ugly. He tried to break free from Li Yichen's grip, but Li Yichen was too strong. He was becoming increasingly breathless, his face flushing crimson as he waved his hands aimlessly. Finally, he managed to grab Li Yichen's arm and tried to pry it apart, but it was like a thick iron bar, impossible to move.
