Over the years, she had been heartbroken by her youngest son's gambling addiction. She even dreamed these days of her youngest son losing all his winter supplies in gambling and freezing to death in the rental house.
Sun Yuegui wanted to say something, but Xia Shige signaled her to be quiet. Then Xia Shige quietly pulled Sun Yuegui into his room.
In the puzzled eyes of granddaughter Sun Yuegui, Xia Shige said solemnly: "Aunt...from now on, our family can no longer control the children of my third uncle's family!"
Sun Yuegui was confused when she heard this. She was about to ask why, but she heard Xia Shige lower his voice and say, "Third uncle lied. The owner of house 1105 just now is a gambler! Third uncle is not helping to take care of the elderly, he is going to gamble!"
Sun Yuegui was shocked when she heard this. She blurted out: "What?! How do you know?"
Xia Shige was silent for a moment, then answered softly, "Because I know the owner of Room 1105, his name is Zhang Sheng..."
In fact, Xia Shige didn’t recognize Zhang Sheng at first. After all, she and Zhang Sheng had no grudges in her previous life.
But when she saw Zhang Sheng's neatly severed right hand, she suddenly remembered - in her previous life, there had also been gambling incidents in Xindu Community, and it was a big deal!
At that time, floods came and many places were submerged. Xindu Community started the reconstruction process and recruited many people to move to the back mountain.
In order to pass the time, some people started to organize gambling, and gradually, more and more people joined in. Those people often lost all the money and supplies they had just received that night. Later, they were so angry that they even organized a group to rob the supply office.
Fortunately, the riot was quickly suppressed, and all the people who formed a group to rob the material supply department were arrested, including Zhang Sheng.
Coming back to his senses from his memories, Xia Shige said to Sun Yuegui: "Aunt, Zhang Sheng said that his right hand was cut off by a machine when he was working in the factory. He is lying! He cheated in gambling before, and when he was discovered, he chopped his hand off with an axe!"
The reason why Xia Shige could remember it so clearly was thanks to the official announcement in his previous life. The official announcement emphasized Zhang Sheng’s case, using Zhang Sheng as a negative example and emphasizing the harm of gambling.
"Now my third uncle is hanging out with this Zhang Sheng, and Zhang Sheng is helping him lie. This can only mean that my third uncle has started gambling again!"
Sun Yuegui took a breath of cold air when she heard this. She didn't expect the situation to be like this!
Thinking back to how Xia Guozhang had just explained himself to them with grievances and swore, as if he had suffered a great injustice, she didn't expect that he was just acting!
Thinking of this, Sun Yuegui felt an inexplicable chill creeping up from the soles of her feet - she seemed to have just realized that gamblers really have no bottom line, and for the sake of gambling, they can really show their acting skills to the utmost!
Xia Shige continued, "I originally thought that after so many years, natural disasters, and life and death experiences, my third uncle should have really changed and would not gamble again... But now it seems that gambling is something he will never change until he dies..."
At this point, Xia Shige sighed helplessly: "Aunt, since Third Uncle and I can't stop gambling, we can't control them anymore..."
Although Xia Shige did not say it explicitly, Sun Yuegui also understood that Xia Guozhang had started gambling again. If she could not cut ties with Xia Guozhang in time, her family would be implicated by him and would have to pay off his gambling debts!
Sun Yuegui was silent for a moment, frowned and said, "No, I have to go to 1101 again to talk to your third aunt about this and let her make plans early!"
