Father Lu looked indifferent, raised his hand and said, "If I gamble again, I will be struck by lightning and pierced by thousands of arrows and die a miserable death!"

Anyway, he swore hundreds of times throughout the year, but none of them came true. He would first try to coax his rebellious son into helping Haitang.

But just as he finished speaking, a rumbling sound rang in his ears, like thunder, no, it was thunder.

A thunderclap struck beside Lu's father, leaving a black burnt mark on the bluestone slab and a billowing cloud of green smoke.

Father Lu stood there like a log, completely stunned, his ears buzzing, his mind blank, what just happened? Did the Thunder God hear his true feelings and come to punish him? Bai Haitang was so scared that she forgot to cry, and looked at Father Lu in amazement. Time seemed to have stopped, and it was so quiet that it was a little weird. Lu Chen and Jiang Hanyan looked at him coldly.

The old woman was the first to react. She reached out and probed under Father Lu's nose, and exclaimed in surprise: "He's still breathing!"

Father Lu looked up in shock. The sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear. Where the hell did this thunder come from?

Jiang Hanyan said coldly: "Remember your oath. If you dare to gamble again, you will be struck by lightning and pierced by thousands of arrows!"

Just now, while everyone was in a state of dismay, she cast a thousand arrows piercing the heart spell on Lu Zhadie. This was a new spell she had learned. When it worked, it was different from being pierced by thousands of arrows. It was very painful and life was worse than death.

But it will only happen if she starts it, otherwise Father Lu will be fine.

"No more gambling, no more gambling."

Father Lu's face turned pale. The thunder just now was too weird. He decided to take it slow first.

But it is impossible to quit gambling. If there is no gambling, what is the meaning of life? "Ouch...it hurts so much..."

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Father Lu covered his chest and howled, as if countless needles were piercing his heart. He had never experienced such pain before, and it hurt so much that he wanted to bang his head against the wall.

Father Lu rolled on the ground, sweating profusely, and begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I won't gamble again, please forgive me..."

Jiang Hanyan sneered secretly. She had seen through her scumbag father's mind at a glance, so she activated the Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart Spell. Just like the tight hoop spell, the pain would only heal after a long time.

Three minutes passed and the pain gradually disappeared. Father Lu lay on the ground dying. Three minutes felt like thirty years and he had lost half his life.

"God is watching what you do. He knows what you are thinking. If you don't want to die, just be honest!" Lu Chen warned coldly.

"knew."

Father Lu responded weakly. How could he dare to play cards? It was not like he wanted to die.

The old woman helped him back to the house, and he did not forget to remind her: "Don't forget to help your mother... oh... don't forget... oh!"

The jealous old woman loosened her grip on purpose, causing Mr. Lu to almost fall down and pull the wound on his waist. He was sweating from the pain, and finally he behaved himself and went into the house obediently.

Bai Haitang stood there pitifully, wanting to speak but not daring to. Lu Chen said coldly, "You go back first, we'll go later."

"Okay, thank you, Xiaochen."

Bai Haitang cried with joy and thanked him repeatedly.

Lu Chen had a cold face and ignored her.

"I'm leaving now. Can you have dinner at my place?"

Bai Haitang walked to the door and invited carefully.

"Need not!"

Lu Chen refused coldly. When he needed his mother as a child, Bai Haitang didn't give her to him. Now he doesn't need her anymore, so what's the point of eating such a shitty meal?

Bai Haitang's eyes became wet again. She wiped the corners of her eyes and walked away swaying with every step.

Seeing that Lu Chen was in a bad mood, Jiang Hanyan pointed towards the room and whispered, "It wouldn't be in vain if I could cure your scumbag father."

People like Lu's father can never be changed, and he is Lu Chen's biological father, so it is impossible for him to be ignored. It is better to let this scumbag live in Fucheng and suppress him with an oath. He should be well behaved for a while.

Lu Chen curled the corner of his mouth. The only one who could control his scumbag father was Jiang Hanyan. It was indeed an unexpected gain. It would be good if she could behave herself for one year at a time. She couldn't really beat his father to death.

It's not that he couldn't bear it, he was mainly afraid of being punished by God.

Jiang Hanyan and Lu Chen went to the Tang family together. After more than half a year, the Tang family had become a little gray and rundown. The lush roses in the yard had withered, and a lot of weeds had grown. The hygiene was not as good as usual and it looked very messy.

"Old Tang is sleeping."

Bai Haitang was washing clothes. Seeing that they were at a loss, there were traces of tears on their faces, and it was obvious that she had been crying again.

The house reeked of alcohol, and the smell was even stronger in the bedroom. There were empty bottles on the floor. Tang Zhihua was lying on the bed like a corpse, with a scraggly beard, old and sloppy, no different from a homeless person living under a bridge.

"Old Tang, Xiaochen and the others are here."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Bai Haitang called softly beside the bed, but Tang Zhihua didn't move. She didn't know whether he was asleep or pretending to be asleep. Bai Haitang had to help him up, but as soon as her hand touched him, Tang Zhihua went crazy and pushed her away, cursing, "Don't touch me, get out!"

Bai Haitang's back hurt after hitting the wall. She felt that she had lost face in front of her son and cried out of grievance. She then secretly observed Lu Chen's performance, and seeing that he had a blank expression on his face, she felt even more aggrieved and cried out of self-pity.

Lu Chen was too lazy to waste time, so he held Tang Zhihua down and asked Jiang Hanyan to take his pulse.

In fact, when Jiang Hanyan saw Tang Zhihua, she knew what disease he had. After taking his pulse, she was more certain that it was liver fluke disease, a parasitic infection disease. Liver flukes are mainly found in freshwater fish. Eating raw fish is very likely to cause infection with liver flukes.

"Did you eat sashimi?" Jiang Hanyan asked coldly.

Tang Zhihua's face changed. He had indeed eaten raw fish. The mountain village where he taught had a large pond with delicious fish. The local villagers had the custom of eating raw fish and invited him to eat it. He was not used to it at first, but became addicted to it as he ate it. He did not like it if it was cooked and had to eat raw fish every few days.

After returning to the city, he cooked it a few more times himself, but the fish bought from the market was not as delicious as the fish from the deep ponds in the mountain villages. He stopped eating it after a few attempts. But his body also had problems. He suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, and often had stomach pain and shivering. When the pain came, he would roll on the ground and didn't want to live anymore. The hospital couldn't find anything, so Tang Zhihua suspected that he had an incurable terminal illness.

Things were not going well at school and his son was even more of a disappointment to him. The series of blows broke him down completely and he simply drank all day to drown his sorrows.

"You have liver fluke disease, a parasite contracted from eating raw fish. It can be cured by going to the provincial hospital!" Jiang Hanyan reminded.

She can also prescribe medicine, but she doesn't want to be treated, so just giving a reminder is all she can do.

"Can you...prescribe some medicine? We have no money at home." Bai Haitang said embarrassedly.

My family is currently struggling financially and even making ends meet has become a problem. How can we afford to go to the provincial hospital for treatment?

Jiang Hanyan sneered and pointed at the house, mockingly saying, "If you don't have money, just sell the house. Back then, you and your son forced Lu Chen to drop out of school and prevented him from going to college. We have done our best to come here to see the doctor. In the future, we should stay out of each other's way and don't bother us!"

Bai Haitang wanted to beg, but Tang Zhihua shouted, "Don't beg them!"

Even if he went to the street to beg for food, he would never come to Lu Chen for help.

Jiang Hanyan snorted and looked at him with disdain. If he had real ambition, he should have refused her pulse measurement just now. What a hypocrite.
