Chapter 576 What else can you do besides this?
"dad!"
Zhaodi quietly took out a dried peach with teeth marks on it from her pocket and stuffed it into Qin Dazhuang's mouth.
"Dad, don't cry. Eat some dried peaches, they're sweet and you won't cry."
The little child naively thought that his father was crying because he was afraid of the pain of the injection and the bitterness of the medicine.
She would eat candy balls every time she got an injection. This dried peach was given to them by her aunt last time. Zhaodi couldn't bear to eat it and hid it in her pocket.
Now take it out to please dad.
The little hand stroked Qin Dazhuang's cheek.
Qin Dazhuang chewed the dried peach in his mouth. It was sweet, but also bitter.
Tears flowed quickly.
You can't die, and you can't live either.
Qin Dazhuang felt that there was no place for him in this big world.
I feel guilty towards so many people.
I’m sorry Jiang Xin, I’m sorry to the children, and I’m sorry to my family.
I'm sorry to all the people who were kind to him.
Why can't he control his hands?
Qin Dazhuang closed his eyes. He had to live truly and live up to his children.
In any case, Zhaodi and Ladi are not wrong.
He has been living in a muddle these days, even worse than a human being. Qin Dazhuang believes that he regrets deeply for what he has done.
Zhaodi looked at Qin Dazhuang with his eyes closed, and sat obediently on the stool, not saying a word, for fear of waking her father up from his sleep.
Dad will be fine.
Children's hearts are pure, and the harm Qin Dazhuang has done to them has been forgotten by them. In their minds, he is still their father. Every child longs for his own relatives.
Five days later, Qin Dazhuang was discharged from the hospital.
Jiang Laoshi took the two children to send Qin Dazhuang out of the hospital, and they paid the medical expenses.
Knowing that Qin Dazhuang has no money now, asking him to pay the medical bills would be putting things in difficult positions for him.
Jiang Laoshi is not that kind of person. Although Qin Dazhuang really makes people angry and disappointed, Jiang Laoshi's character determines that he would never do that.
"Go back and be a good person in the future. Don't gamble anymore. Even if it's not for the children, you can't gamble for yourself. Gambling kills people. You can't always commit suicide. If you really care about the children, you should reform yourself, be a new person, and go to work and earn money.
After all, you are the father of two children, please think carefully about them."
Jiang Laoshi didn't say much and took the children away.
Qin Dazhuang took a few steps forward, knelt down in front of Jiang Laoshi, and kowtowed three times.
"Dad...Master Jiang, I will remember your words and I will definitely change for the better."
Jiang Laoshi shook his head. All gamblers are like this.
He would not believe Qin Dazhuang. Trusting him would mean bringing risks to his daughter and children, so he made up his mind to take the children home directly.
Qin Dazhuang turned around and watched his father-in-law and his two daughters walking away, then left with gritted teeth.
He doesn't even have a place to live now, his mother has already sold the house.
He had been gambling with his gambling friends in those days, and now he never wanted to go back to that place.
When they reached the intersection, Wang Pangzi, who was smoking, saw Qin Dazhuang and said, "Hey, Dazhuang, you're back. Come on, let's go. It just so happens that we are short of one more person for our card game. Let's go play cards together."
He put his arm around Qin Dazhuang’s shoulders and walked away.
Qin Dazhuang shook his head, "I'm not going, I don't want to play anymore!"
He gritted his teeth and rejected Fatty Wang in front of him. Suddenly, he realized that it didn't seem so difficult for him when he said this.
Unlike before, when others said this, he would immediately follow them.
I was itching to do it just now, but when I said this, I suddenly felt that I could do it, and I was a hundred times more confident.
Fatty Wang laughed and said, "I don't know you yet. Let's go, let's go. Who are we? We don't know each other. You must be out of money. Don't say you don't want to play. I'll lend you some money."
Everyone knows what Qin Dazhuang's current situation is.
Fatty Wang naturally had his own plans. Although a gambler like Qin Dazhuang was good for nothing, it was still okay to let him do something else. As long as he could help him make money, he was willing to lend money to such a person.
How can I get these people to work for me if I don't give them some small favors and let them sink deeper and deeper into this gambling quagmire?
Qin Dazhuang refused to go, so Fatty Wang still dragged him to his yard.
"Don't be polite to me. I've already said I'll lend you the money. Just tell me, how much do you want? Is 50 enough?"
Qin Dazhuang struggled to get rid of Fatty Wang's pull, "It's not about money, Brother Wang, I really don't want to gamble anymore. I've sworn that I can't gamble anymore, I have to be worthy of my daughter."
His face flushed with anxiety. He could not forget the look in his daughter's eyes when she let go of his hand just now. That look of dependence, of her wholeheartedly treating him as her own father, is something Qin Dazhuang cannot forget until now.
Fatty Wang said with a look of sarcasm, "Da Zhuang, what can I say about you? What's there for you to worry about your daughter? She's just a money-loser. Besides, she's with your ex-wife, why are you still worried about them?
Anyway, I have someone to support me, and I don't need your little money. Besides, if you don't gamble now, what else can you do? I tell you the truth, you didn't come back these few days, so you don't know. Your factory has already issued a notice to fire you, so tell me what else you can do?
You might be able to make some money from gambling and survive, but can you do anything else? I'm afraid you don't even have a place to stay now. Where else can you go except here?"
This is the truth, and it is also the reason why Fatty Wang tried his best to win over Qin Dazhuang.
"Da Zhuang, Brother Wang, now that you're here, please hurry into the house. Quickly, quick, we're shuffling the cards here. We can just start a game."
The people in the room greeted him warmly.
Fatty Wang pulled Qin Dazhuang into the house.
"Sit down!"
He pushed Qin Dazhuang down on the chair and lit a cigarette for him.
"Okay, when you get to my brother's place, I promise you will have everything you need. I know you have nowhere to live, so you can live in my house from now on. Follow me and I promise you won't suffer any loss."
Fatty Wang smiled with ill intent.
The other people received Fatty Wang's gaze and hurriedly shuffled the cards.
Qin Dazhuang's hands were trembling, his eyes fixed on the cards in front of him, and a voice in his head told him.
"Come on, come and play, what are you thinking about? You have no home, no wife, no children, and no job. If you don't play cards and gamble, what else can you do? This is the only way you can survive."
The images of Zhaodi’s little pigtails, innocent dimples, and trusting eyes and smile appeared in my mind.
The soft little hand held Qin Dazhuang's hand, and his shivering gradually calmed down.
"Flip the cards, it's your turn, Da Zhuang!"
"Hurry up, Da Zhuang, don't dawdle. If you win this pot, it will be more than a hundred yuan. This time you will be rich."
"It's rare that Brother Wang is willing to lend you money, why don't you hurry up."
There was a bloody red in front of my eyes.
Qin Dazhuang rushed to the coffee table.
