Ge Hai: "!!!"
"Oh my god!" Ge Hai yelled, scrambling to the side to avoid the blow. The axe slammed heavily onto the floor with a clang, cutting a crack in the floorboards.
Ge Hai looked in the direction of the axe, trembling, and saw his father, who had been dead for many years. He was stunned and exclaimed, "Dad?!"
"What are you doing?!"
Why did you grab an axe and chop him up without a second thought?
"Dad? You dare call me Dad! You unfilial son! Who gave you permission to sell the old family house! Selling it is one thing, but you actually left your old man there without taking him with you! I almost hurt someone because of this!"
Old Master Ge's face turned ashen. He pointed at him and cursed loudly, spitting as he did so. After cursing, he still felt unsatisfied and chased after Ge Hai with an axe, yelling, "I'll fucking beat you to death, you unfilial son!"
"I should have strangled you the moment your mother gave birth to you!"
Ge Hai was chased and screamed wildly, running as fast as he could, tears and snot flying from his eyes: "Daddy, Daddy! Let me explain! I had no choice!"
"After you left, the factory's business ran into problems! To keep the factory running, I had no choice but to invest with someone, but who knew that person was a swindler! I was swindled out of all my money! And now I'm in huge debts!"
"To pay off my debts, I had no choice but to sell everything I could in my house! I had to sell the old house! I'll definitely buy it back when I have the money!"
"As for why I didn't take you with me, it's because you liked that place when you were alive, and it's hard to move, isn't it? Dad, you have to understand me!"
"I understand you my foot! You damned piece of trash! The factory was perfectly fine when I left, and I even had Uncle Xu help look after it. Your sister is quite capable too! How could the business have run into problems so quickly?!"
Old Master Ge's face darkened further, and he swung the axe without any mercy: "You're still lying to me! Do you really think I can't do anything to you now that I'm gone?"
Ge Hai's heart skipped a beat. He was too exhausted to run any further. He stopped, turned around with remarkable ease, and knelt down with a thud. With his eyes closed, he shouted, "Dad, I didn't mean to! I... I just wanted to gamble a little!"
Ge Hai didn't dare open his eyes to look at Old Master Ge: "I didn't intend to give away all the family factories. It was that guy surnamed Wang who set me up, Dad!"
When Old Master Ge heard his words, he was so angry he almost lost his mind. He kicked him, trembling, and demanded, "You son of a bitch, you went gambling again? What did you promise me when I left?!"
Ge Hai, like a roly-poly toy, was kicked askew but then straightened up again. He glanced furtively at Old Master Ge, then gave him a thumbs-up: "I just wanted to take a small gamble, but I didn't expect..."
Grandpa Ge: "How much did you lose this time?"
Ge Hai swallowed hard and whispered, "No, not much. With interest, it'll be a little over ninety million..."
Old Master Ge's vision blurred. Ninety million wasn't enough! This was almost a hundred million! The factory he left Ge Hai only had fifty million in total assets!
No wonder, no wonder he sold the old house! It's likely that he sold off all his other properties, not just the old house!
"Dad, I know I was wrong. I promise I won't gamble again!" Ge Hai knelt down and moved closer to his father. "This time I will definitely do business honestly with my friend! Please don't be angry. Please bless me from below. When I make a lot of money, I will definitely buy back all the houses!"
Grandpa Ge stared at him coldly, his face dark: "Where's your mother? Who is she living with now?"
He worked himself to the bone to earn money in his early years, which made him less healthy than his wife, so he passed away a few years earlier than her.
After he left, his wife went back to live in the old house. He would stay with her when he was awake, but after he fell asleep, he would wake up and never see her again.
I wonder how she is doing now.
Ge Hai's eyes flickered, and he stammered, "Mom, Mom is doing very well now. She's dressed in gold and silver, has a nanny to take care of her, and my sister gives her money every month. So don't worry about her..."
Grandpa Ge stared at him, making Ge Hai increasingly uneasy, until he couldn't even speak: "Oh dear! Dad! Don't you know me? Am I the kind of person who would let Mom suffer!"
"A man who can even sell his father's urn, how good can he be to his own mother?" Old Master Ge sneered, raising the axe in his hand: "It was a mistake for your mother and me to give birth to you! You might as well not live anymore! Come down and take care of me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, to Ge Hai's horrified gaze, Old Master Ge suddenly brought his axe down on his neck.
"Grandpa Ge!!" A childish voice suddenly rang out. A white light flashed before Ge Hai's eyes, and he screamed in terror, sitting up abruptly from the bed.
Ge Hai sat on the bed, panting heavily. It took him a long time to slowly come to his senses. Looking at the messy room, he touched his neck with lingering fear: "Was it a dream?"
This dream was so realistic! He really thought his dead father was going to cut his neck off!
Could it be that he sold the house in his hometown, and his father found out and got angry?
Ge Hai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, sat on the bed for a while to recover, and then struggled to get out of bed, slipping on his slippers and shuffling out to find some water.
When he picked up the kettle, he realized it was empty. He frowned and called out unhappily, "Mom! The kettle's empty! Why didn't you boil some water?"
No one in the room responded to him.
"Did she go out again?" Ge Hai peeked out and didn't see his mother in the living room. He clicked his tongue and carried the kettle into the kitchen to boil water, only to find her thin figure lying in the kitchen, her head covered in blood.
Ge Hai: "!!!"
He rushed forward and picked up Ge's mother, crying, "Mom! Mom! What's wrong, Mom? Don't scare me, Mom!"
"Call 120, call 120, Mom! Wake up, Mom!"
-
On the other side.
Nan Yuanman frowned as she looked at Old Master Ge, who was radiating a strong aura of malevolence and was on the verge of becoming a demon. She said unhappily, "Grandpa Ge, didn't I tell you to keep a calm mind?"
"If I hadn't reacted quickly, you would have become a demon!"
Old Master Ge gripped the axe tightly, his eyes turning bloodshot, his entire being shrouded in ghostly energy and brimming with resentment: "I just can't swallow this! A perfectly good family was ruined by that unfilial son!"
Aunt Zheng couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "What did your son say to you?"
Old Master Ge hesitated for a moment, then closed his eyes and said wearily, "Forget it, family scandals shouldn't be aired in public. These children are all a debt!"
He looked at Liu Jiawei and bowed sincerely to him, apologizing: "I was wrong about this, I'm sorry, young man. There's some gold in the bottom left drawer of the storage room in this house. It's what I saved up years ago. I'll give it to you as compensation for your medical expenses and for this chubby little boy helping me enter my dream."
Liu Jiawei was flattered: "It's alright, it's alright, just don't scare me and my wife in the future."
Before Grandpa Ge could say anything more, the door, which had been tightly closed, was suddenly opened from the outside without warning.
