Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

He Zhiyuan nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, I can. As long as you come back with me, Dad will definitely change."

Lu Sheng raised his head and said firmly: "Okay, I will believe you again."

Lai Xi hurriedly grabbed Lu Sheng, his eyes showing disappointment, "Do you really believe him?"

Lu Sheng did not answer Lai Xi's words, but looked at He Zhiyuan with complicated eyes.

"Well, to verify your determination, I'll chop off your right hand, and then mother and I will go back with you. Even if you do nothing for the rest of your life, as long as you live a good life, mother and I will not abandon you."

He Zhiyuan was stunned. He seemed to have never thought that his son would say such a thing.

Liu Siyu was also very surprised. She didn't expect that Lu Sheng, at such a young age, not only spoke clearly but was also so decisive in his conduct.

No matter how you look at it, she looks more like an adult than her mother Tian Danier.

He Zhiyuan felt isolated. Even his only son did not stand on his side and his wife remained silent. Despair surged in his heart like a tide.

He raised the axe high and was about to chop it down when his inner fear made him retreat.

Then he began to cry out and scream, trying to gain sympathy by using his miserable condition.

"It's all my fault. I'm shameless and have made Danier suffer with me all these years. I'm not a good father and I haven't taken good care of my son."

"I deserve to die. I don't deserve to live in this world."

As he said this, he deliberately pointed the axe at his neck.

Seeing that no one reacted, only Tian Danier frowned, with a look of heartache in her eyes.

He Zhiyuan seemed to see a glimmer of hope. He immediately used his last killer move and gently pulled the axe on his neck. Blood oozed out instantly.

Tian Danier's breathing stagnated, and she exclaimed: "Zhiyuan..."

He Zhiyuan cried even harder, his tears and snot mixed together, his eyes filled with reluctance to leave Tian Dani and her son and his attachment to this world.

She sobbed and said, "Dani'er, I'm sorry. I didn't treat you well in this life. Let's be husband and wife in the next life."

Tian Danier could no longer remain indifferent. She pushed her two brothers apart, hurriedly walked up to He Zhiyuan, and hugged him tightly.

"You evildoer..."

As he spoke, his fists rained down on He Zhiyuan's shoulders.

"Why can't you change your bad habits? Why can't you quit gambling, which harms people, and live a good life?"

He Zhiyuan threw away the axe and hugged Tian Danier tightly, letting her fists hit his shoulders.

While crying, she promised: "I will change, I will definitely change."

But apart from Tian Dani, there is probably no one else in this yard who can believe him.

Liu Siyu couldn't help but curl her lips secretly. Such poor acting skills could fool Tian Dani, which shows how deep Tian Dani's feelings for He Zhiyuan are.

Looking up at the others, the old lady's eyes showed only heartache and helplessness.

It seemed that he felt that this was Danier's fate, but he felt so sorry for his granddaughter, and the pain was like being pierced by thousands of arrows.

In addition to heartache, Tian Qingshan's eyes were filled with more regret. The regret was like a mountain, pressing him so hard that he couldn't breathe.

Lai Fu and Lai Xi looked at each other, their eyes filled with deep disappointment and helplessness, like a dark cloud covering their hearts.

It feels a bit like punching cotton, with the anger having nowhere to go.

Although Laicai is young, he can already see the essence of things.

She said angrily, "Sister, do you really want to go back with him?"

"He is simply lying. As far as I can remember, he has said many times that he would change, but has he ever changed?"

"Not only did I beat you half to death this time, but I also owed you more than ten taels of money in loan sharking. Cousin Lu Sheng is already 9 years old. What do you want him to do in the future?"

Liu Siyu quickly shifted her gaze to Lu Sheng's face, only to see that his brows were locked together on his thin face.

There was a look of suppressed forbearance in his eyes.

The small fist was clenched together, and finally he could only punch the earth wall. Blood slowly flowed out through the fingers, but the thin figure did not feel any pain.

This scared the people around. The old lady immediately hugged her hand in her arms with heartache and hurriedly took out a cloth to wipe the blood off it.

She kept scolding him, "My poor child, why are you hurting yourself like this? Aren't you trying to dig out your great-grandmother's heart?"

As he spoke, two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks like a flood breaking through a dam.

Tian Qingshan also hugged Lu Sheng with heartache. His usually dull face twitched slightly and his eyes unconsciously turned red.

My heart aches as if it's bleeding.

When Tian Dani heard the noise, she immediately left He Zhiyuan and hurriedly hugged her son in her arms, tears falling down like beads from a broken string.

Lai Xi patted Tian Dani on the shoulder.

She said earnestly, "Sister, Laicai is right. It's fine for the adults to say whatever they want, but you have to think about Lusheng."

Ximei was watching from the side, anxiously not knowing where to start.

She agreed with her husband's words. If she had been faced with such a gambler, she would have killed him with a kitchen knife long ago.

I really don’t understand why my elder sister-in-law has been hesitating about this?

Over the years, she helped them pay back dozens of taels of silver. Her father-in-law and husband worked day and night with her brother-in-law, and she and her sister-in-law were also busy as well.

But the little money that the family worked so hard to save was almost all squandered by that addictive gambler, except for the medical treatment of the sick mother-in-law.

If this money was spent on her elder sister-in-law and Lu Sheng, she would have nothing to say.

But I threw it all to that gambler and there was not even a sound.

As a result, Chunmiao fell ill and had no money to see a doctor in time, which caused the child to become what she is now. It would be a lie to say that she did not hate him.

But if she really wanted to hate him, she couldn't vent all her anger on her elder sister.

After enduring for so many years, she thought that today was the end, but she didn't expect that her elder sister would go back to her old ways.

He was so angry that he pulled Tian Danier over.

"Sister, do you really want to go back with this gambler?"

"He still owes more than ten taels of money. His family has already borrowed money to arrange Lai Xi's marriage, but even so, they still can't even prepare a decent new house."

"We could only transform the half of the leaky straw shed into a new house. Fortunately, my brother-in-law and his wife are not fussy people, so Lai Xi and his family are finally reunited."

Liu Siyu felt a little ashamed. In order to gain her freedom as soon as possible, she went to find Lai Xi.

But I didn't expect that Lai Xi's family would be so dedicated to this marriage.

Ximei didn't hear her true feelings, but she just kept feeling resentful over the years.

Today it seems to have reached a bottleneck and urgently needs to erupt.

"Is our family really that poor? We work from dawn to dusk. In addition to the few acres of land, the orchard has almost exhausted all the family's efforts."

"But it has never let us down. It gives us at least 10 taels of silver every year. But our family only has porridge with whole grains for three meals a day. We don't even dare to bake pancakes. Where does all the money go? Doesn't Big Sister know?"

Tian Danier was of course clear about it. Her tearful eyes were full of apology and she subconsciously took a step back.

"Ximei, talk less..." Lai Fu persuaded her in time.
