Era: The naive beauty charmed the villain!

Unexpectedly, the man surnamed Liu, who appeared warm and cheerful on the surface, turned out to be a bad person in private.

Not long after she started seeing Li Qingguo, she brought him to the gambling table.

At first, Li Qingguo didn't dare to bet big, but whether it was good luck or something else, he won some money one after another.

The man surnamed Liu sighed in regret, slapping his thigh and saying that if Li Qingguo had been bolder and invested more money from the beginning, he would have won a large sum of money by now.

Li Qingguo felt remorseful after being told this, and in a daze, he felt as if he had really lost a lot of money because of his cowardice.

Just as he was feeling annoyed, he was surrounded by people praising him, who made him seem like a gambling god reincarnated.

Li Qingguo took it to heart and thought he was just naturally lucky at gambling. He became arrogant and started gambling bigger and bigger.

He kept winning and losing, and before long, he not only lost all the money he had won, but also incurred a large gambling debt.

Li Qingguo's feverish mind finally calmed down, and he realized that he had fallen into someone else's trap, but it was too late to wake up now.

Those people threatened him that if he didn't pay back the money, they would chop off his hand and cause trouble at his workplace, making him lose his job.

Li Qingguo was terrified and, after much pleading, finally begged those people to agree to let him pay in installments.

But gambling debts accumulate interest so quickly.

Before long, what was once a large sum of money that Li Qingguo could try to pay off turned into an astronomical figure that he could never repay in ten lifetimes.

Even if I handed over every penny of my monthly salary to those people, it wouldn't be enough to cover the interest.

Li Qingguo had no other choice but to resort to using his family's savings.

The Li family was stunned when they heard the news. The two younger siblings stood aside, not daring to breathe.

After learning exactly how much money Li Qingguo owed, Wang Lianying couldn't catch her breath and fainted.

A group of people surrounded Wang Lianying, pinching her philtrum and splashing water on her, and it was only with great difficulty that they managed to wake her up.

Wang Lianying lay half-reclined on the ground, panting heavily, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

They can't pay it back. They owe too much. Even if you beat them to death, they still can't pay it back.

That's an astronomical sum for them.

The next day, Li Genquan and Wang Lianying went out to secretly inquire about the backgrounds of those people. They thought that if all else failed, they would risk losing their jobs and call the police to settle the matter.

As it turned out, they were all people their family couldn't afford to offend.

Li Genquan didn't sleep all night, and the next day he arranged for the children to pack their luggage at home.

He and his wife went out to ask for leave, and then secretly sold all three of their family members' jobs.

After quickly settling matters related to work and property, he decisively moved out overnight with his entire family.

Because he was worried that Lin An'an would be targeted, he didn't dare to contact her for a while, even after settling down in another city.

Now that some time has passed, Li Genquan figured the storm had died down before sending a letter to Lin An'an.

At the end of the letter, Li Genquan inquired about Lin An'an's current situation with a mix of guilt and concern.

Worried that his niece wouldn't be able to survive alone in the countryside, and knowing that even after moving to a new city and settling down, which would cost money everywhere, Li Genquan still sent twenty yuan with his letter.

The letter stated that the family was currently facing financial difficulties and could not afford to spend more money at the moment, asking Lin An'an to be frugal and promising to send more next month.

Lin An'an squeezed the envelope, poured out two ten-yuan bills, and remained silent.

Even though Li Genquan himself was struggling to make ends meet, the fact that he sent her money showed that he cared about his niece.

But she wasn't the original owner of this body after all, and the original owner was nowhere to be found. Lin An'an held the two ten-yuan bills and felt they were burning her hands.

Gu Qingsong could tell that Lin An'an didn't want Li Genquan's money, so he didn't ask any further questions and said, "Uncle's family is not doing well right now. If you don't want his money, we can send it back when we reply to your letter."

Lin An'an nodded, then suddenly realized.

"My uncle moved a long time ago, so they probably didn't receive the letter I sent, right?"

Gu Qingsong smiled and said what Lin An'an hadn't said, "Well, your uncle and the others probably don't know you're married yet."

Lin An'an was somewhat speechless, and said, "No wonder my uncle told me in his letter to take good care of myself while I'm alone in the countryside..."

It turns out they had no idea she had already gotten married in the countryside.

Fortunately, she wasn't the original owner of this body. Otherwise, if the original owner had encountered some difficulties during the time she lost contact with her family, and had written letters for help but received no response, how desperate she would have been.

Lin An'an said helplessly, "When I write back to my uncle tomorrow, I'll briefly explain my current situation so that he won't worry."

Gu Qingsong hesitated for a moment, then said, "I still have some money, how about..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin An'an interrupted him.

"No need. If my cousin really quits gambling, our family's life will gradually get better sooner or later."

Lin An'an calmly said, "If they continue gambling, no matter how much money you give them, it's a bottomless pit."

It wasn't that Lin An'an was cold-blooded and didn't care about the original owner's relatives; it was just that the propaganda about the dangers of gambling in later generations had become too deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Lin An'an knew that her uncle and aunt were hardworking people, and her three cousins ​​had grown up.

The family members are all healthy and strong. In addition to their savings from many years, they also have money from selling their jobs and houses.

Even if you move to a completely unfamiliar city, as long as the whole family works together, it's not difficult to settle down and establish a stable home.

But what if Li Qingguo's gambling addiction hasn't been completely eradicated?

If he remains addicted to gambling after starting a new life, the more money they send to the Li family, the more they will harm them.

That money is unlikely to be used to improve the Li family's life or solve other problems. Instead, Li Qingguo will use it to continue gambling, and the more money he has, the bigger the bets will be.

In this way, their original intention to help the Li family out of their predicament was completely thwarted.

"So just play the victim and say that we are under a lot of pressure raising our children, and send the 20 yuan back without giving any more money."

Lin An'an thought for a moment and said, "Send some more nationally valid grain coupons. My uncle said they are currently renting a small house in Jinan, and the five of them live in the city. They must be short of grain coupons."

Gu Qingsong agreed, "Okay, I'll go prepare some receipts in a bit, and you can put them in an envelope and mail them together tomorrow."

Lin An'an has always been easygoing; once she made her decision, she stopped thinking about it.

Just then, Lin Jincheng brought out the warmed buns. Upon seeing this, Lin An'an and Gu Qingsong quickly got up and went into the room to carry the children out one by one.

The children were drawn in by the aroma of the steamed buns, their little faces filled with anticipation.

Let’s eat! Let’s eat!

Nothing is more important than cooking rice.
