Chapter 168 Gambling is Harmful

Communication was inconvenient at that time.

Living in the north, it's not easy to find out about a family that has deliberately hidden themselves in the south.

Before receiving any definite news from Lin An'an's uncle, she received a letter from her uncle Li Genquan.

Gu Qingsong frowned, somewhat worried that the letter might contain bad news.

His friends inquired for a long time and only knew that the Li family moved away to avoid debts, but they didn't know exactly where they moved to.

Without having any prior contact with the Li family, Gu Qingsong already knew that Li Qingguo was a gambling addict, and he disliked him from the start.

Not to mention that Li Qingguo was Lin An'an's older cousin, whom she had grown up with, so Gu Qingsong had to prepare for the worst.

After seeing the postman off, Gu Qingsong turned around, closed the courtyard gate, and walked to Lin An'an's side.

Lin An'an didn't know what Gu Qingsong was thinking, but her uncle's family had been out of contact for so long, and now that they had suddenly sent a letter, she was afraid that it contained bad news.

But even if you're scared, you can't just keep it closed forever.

Lin An'an swallowed hard and glanced at Gu Qingsong.

"So... I opened it?"

Lin An'an rarely talks about family matters, and Lin Jincheng is curious about the letter Lin An'an suddenly received from home.

But since it involved Lin An'an's family affairs, Lin Jincheng did not step forward.

I just made an excuse to go to the kitchen to check on the soup and then avoided the situation.

Gu Qingsong embraced Lin An'an and led her into the main room, pressing her down to sit.

Standing behind Lin An'an, he encouraged her, "Haven't you always wanted to know why your uncle hasn't replied? Open it and take a look."

Lin An'an nodded and solemnly opened the letter.

I gasped in shock after watching just the beginning!

The letter began by stating the reason for not replying.

It turns out that the uncle moved house to escape gambling debts.

Lin An'an stared in shock, her eyes wide with disbelief: "My older cousin is introverted and has always been very steady in his actions. He has never liked going out and having fun since he was a child. How could he suddenly become addicted to gambling?!"

Gu Qingsong calmly comforted his wife and gestured for Lin An'an to continue watching.

Lin An calmed himself down, clutching the thick stack of letters in his hand, and eagerly continued reading.

The letter was written by Li Genquan. At the beginning of the letter, he explained the cause of the matter and expressed his disappointment with his eldest son, Li Qingguo. Then he wrote down the whole story.

Li Qingguo was originally an honest and introverted person. He was a decent student and graduated from high school without much trouble.

After graduation, with the help of my family, I found a formal job.

Although it's physically demanding, at least it's stable, and you can say you've secured a secure job.

With a stable job and a decent family background, Li Qingguo naturally attracted many suitors, and his family quickly began arranging blind dates for him.

Because he had a formal job, and because Li Qingguo was tall and strong, the matchmaking went very smoothly.

When Lin An'an went to the countryside, Li Qingguo and the woman he was looking for were about to get engaged, and everything was going in a good direction.

Unexpectedly, not long after Lin An'an went to the countryside, her aunt Wang Lianying discovered that the family's money was missing.

At first, I thought it was Lin An'an's uncle who felt sorry for his niece going to the countryside and secretly sent money to help her out.

After all, they are children raised from a young age. Even if they are not their biological children, they have developed feelings for each other over the years.

Wang Lianying didn't make a fuss, thinking that life in the countryside was indeed tough, and since Lin An'an was a girl, it was only right for an elder to help out.

Worried that Li Genquan would be embarrassed if he were exposed, Wang Lianying simply didn't mention it to him, and they tacitly agreed to continue their relationship.

But as time went on, the amount of money and cash in the household decreased by more and more.

Wang Lianying pondered that it wouldn't cost much money in the countryside, and even if Lin An'an was a girl and couldn't do any heavy work, sending her so many money ration coupons would be enough for her to eat and drink.

Why are they asking for more and more?

Wang Lianying gradually began to feel uneasy, feeling that her husband only cared about his niece and ignored the situation at home.

Right now, our family is in dire need of money. Our eldest son is getting married, and we need money for his wedding. Our second son is about to graduate, and we need to spend a lot of money to find him a job.

If we don't take care of this and my husband continues to subsidize us like this, what will happen when we run out of money and can't find enough work? Are we going to send our second son to the countryside too?

Ultimately, one loves their own child the most. Thinking of this, Wang Lianying could no longer hold back and found an opportunity to cause a scene at home.

This commotion has caused trouble.

It turns out that Li Genquan did not secretly help Lin An'an who went to the countryside; someone else stole the money from the house.

Under pressure from his family, Lin An'an's older cousin finally succumbed to the heavy burden and knelt down in tears to admit his mistake.

It turns out that although Li Qingguo was introverted and didn't have many friends, deep down he longed for a lively life with lots of friends.

After starting work, I got along particularly well with a cheerful and outgoing coworker surnamed Liu, and I loved spending time with him.

Lin An'an's uncle's family also knew about this situation, and they all thought it was a good thing and were very happy for him.

Firstly, they felt that Li Qingguo had finally found a friend he could get along with.

Secondly, it's also because Li Qingguo has made friends at work, which shows that he has established himself in his position.

Everyone was happy to see the two of them get along.
