After eating and drinking, Jiang Cheng was pressed down on the sofa by Qin Qin to drink tea. It was winter now. Qin Qin's house did not have an air conditioner, and it was on the third floor. The northwest wind was blowing outside the window, and the room was abnormally cold. Jiang Cheng couldn't help asking, "Qin Qin, why don't you install an air conditioner at home? It's winter. What if Auntie catches a cold? Her body can't stand the cold! "
Qin Qin frowned and wanted to say something. She looked very sad. Jiang Cheng saw that she didn't speak for a long time, and he knew what was going on. The last time he came here, he met Qin Qin's father. It was estimated that the gambling addict's father had ransacked the house. Last time, Qin Qin quarreled with her father outside the door, saying that she had no money for her father to pay off his gambling debts.
"Does your father often ask you for money to gamble?" Jiang Cheng picked up the teacup and asked softly.
Qin Qin lowered her head in embarrassment. She tidied up her messy long hair and said in a low voice, "Yes, ever since I became sensible, he would come every few days and ask my mother for money to gamble. If she didn't give him, he would beat her. My mother's illness was caused by him. I persuaded my mother to divorce him many times, but she always said that he would come back."
Speak of the devil. When Jiang Cheng was about to comfort Qin Qin, the door of her house was suddenly pushed open. Qin Qin and Jiang Cheng looked up, and their faces changed. It was Qin Qin's father who came in.
Qin Qin's mother was washing the dishes in the kitchen. Usually, it was Qin Qin's responsibility to do the housework, but today, Jiang Cheng was here, so Qin Qin's mother forcibly took over the work and pressed Qin Qin down on the sofa to chat with Jiang Cheng. When she heard someone open the door, she thought it was a guest. She wiped her hands on her apron and walked out of the kitchen. As she walked, she said, "Qin 'er, it's so late. Who is it?"
But when she walked out of the kitchen and came to the living room, she was dumbfounded. It was this bastard again. Every time this bastard came back, nothing good happened. This time, he must have come to ask for money to pay off the gambling debt.
"What are you doing here? You're not welcome in this family! "Mrs. Qin said angrily.
Qinhuai said with a smile, "Don't, honey. I just came back to see you."
But when he saw the leftovers on the table, he immediately picked up a bowl from the table, ran to the rice cooker, and filled it with white rice. He picked up the chopsticks and sat on the table, wolfing it down. As for Jiang Cheng, he glanced at the young man and ignored him. No matter who he was, he would fill his stomach first.
Jiang Cheng was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him. He thought to himself, "Has this man been hungry for a few days and nights? Why is he wolfing down the food like a hungry ghost?" But Qin Qin, who was next to him, and Mrs. Qin, who was standing at the kitchen door, were not surprised. Every time Qinhuai gambled outside and became penniless, he would come back to this broken house to eat. They had seen this situation countless times. Qin Qin turned her head away, tears falling from her eyes. Mrs. Qin sighed and walked into the kitchen.
Only Jiang Cheng sat on the sofa and watched Qinhuai wolfing down the food. He finished the big bowl of rice in a few mouthfuls, but he quickly picked up the bowl to fill a second bowl and continued to eat at the table. Jiang Cheng saw that he was eating too well, so he said to Qin Qin, "I'm going to the balcony for a smoke."
Qin Qin saw Jiang Cheng get up and go to the balcony. She wanted to follow, but just as her butt left the sofa, she was stopped by someone. Qinhuai suddenly said, "Daughter, sit for a while. Dad has something to say to you."
Qin Qin replied angrily, "What good can you have? You just want money. I told you a long time ago that we don't have a penny at home. You should find a way to pay off your gambling debts. We don't welcome you here. Leave as soon as you finish eating."
Qinhuai looked at his daughter's slim figure walking to the balcony and felt depressed. "I'm your father. How dare you treat me like this? I raised you when you were a child. Now that you've grown up, you don't want to acknowledge me as your father. Humph, no way!"
Qin Huai cursed under his breath. He picked up the rice bowl in his hand and quickly stirred it a few times. The second bowl of rice was quickly emptied. However, when he opened the lid of the rice cooker, he found that it was empty. Qin Huai shouted towards the kitchen, "Old woman, there's no more rice. Hurry up and cook me some more!"
Mrs. Qin, who was in the kitchen, replied angrily, "No. If you want to eat, cook it yourself."
Mrs. Qin didn't want to face this bad gambler. After washing the dishes, she went back to the room to watch TV. There was only Qinhuai alone in the living room, as well as Jiang Cheng and Qin Qin, who were chatting on the balcony.
Qinhuai had been chased by Mangy for the past few days. He owed Mangy nearly 100,000 yuan in gambling debts. Mangy said that if he didn't pay back the money in three days, he would cut off his hands and feet. How could Qinhuai have the money to pay back the gambling debts? He ran away because he had nowhere to hide. After hiding by the Yu River for two days, he was really hungry. He wanted to go to his wife's place to have a full meal and get some money to go south to make a living. Anyway, he couldn't live in Jiangnan City anymore. If he was caught, his hands and feet would be cut off.
Qinhuai was not stupid. He knew that there was hope as long as there was life, there was hope. He definitely couldn't borrow money. His daughter and the old woman had almost been washed by him. He guessed that they really had no money. Otherwise, when he came back to get money last time, his daughter didn't even give him money when he beat the old woman. If it was in the past, as long as he beat the old woman, his daughter would immediately give him money. But last time, she didn't. Instead, he was taught a lesson by a young man.
That's right, young man. Why did that young man look so familiar?
Suddenly, Qinhuai patted his forehead. He remembered that he was beaten by this young man in this house last time. In the end, he even threatened him not to come to his wife and children. Thinking of his fiery temper and skills, Qinhuai unconsciously touched the place where he was beaten last time. He actually felt a little pain.
Thinking of this, an idea came to Qinhuai's mind. Run.
But if he ran away, where could he get money to escape? It was freezing outside now. He didn't have a penny on him, nor did he have any thick clothes. In a few days, he would be a beggar. He suddenly thought, "By the way, why did this young man come to my house? Could it be that he was Qin Qin's boyfriend? "
Thinking that this man might be Qin Qin's boyfriend, Qinhuai's heart became active. He thought that since this young man wanted to pursue his daughter, as her father, he had to do something. Then, wouldn't he have money for his escape?
