Chapter 4 Shameless Gambler Dad

Yang Guiqiu frowned and taught Cheng Yao a lesson as if he had seen some monster.

"Ayao, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"These are what we should do. Only by making your father and grandma happy can our family live well."

"As long as they are full, it doesn't matter to us."

"You are so selfish. What should you do if you marry into your husband's family in the future?"

Cheng Yao rolled up her empty sleeves, stretched her bony arms in front of Yang Guiqiu and said.

"My dear mother-in-law, please open your eyes and look at your daughter's body."

"I'm going to be as thin as a stalk. If the wind outside gets stronger, it could blow me apart."

"I will marry into my husband's family in the future. Is there any possibility that if I continue to eat like this, I won't survive until spring next year!"

“I’ve seen people pretending to be cows or horses for others, but I’ve never seen people pretending to be cows or horses for others and still enjoy it!”

Yang Guiqiu had obviously never seen Cheng Yao like this. Her face was no longer numb and dull, but full of anger.

A living person's anger towards his unfair fate.

Yang Guiqiu was not as eloquent as Zhang Yufen and others. Faced with such an eloquent Cheng Yao, he was stammered and speechless for a while.

[Novice mission three is successfully completed! 】

[Reward: a new set of cotton clothes, 15 points]

[The three novice tasks have been completed, the host is asked to take the initiative to explore everything next]

Cheng Yao looked happy when she saw the pop-up window that the task was completed. She rolled her eyes and picked up the thickest porridge and the pickles next to it.

He ran out of the kitchen door and disappeared from Yang Guiqiu's sight along the path.

"Hey! Ayao! Is your child possessed by an evil spirit or something?!"

"What a surprise! How dare you, a girl, do such a thing!"

"When your father comes back and wants to beat you to death, I can't help you."

Yang Guiqiu's voice gradually dissipated in her ears. Cheng Yao rushed forward with her rice in hand, not caring about so much.

Returning to the familiar sweet potato cellar, Cheng Yao finished a large bowl of porridge with pickles three times and five divided by two.

After finishing the meal, Cheng Yao couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved.

Things that she usually disdains, but now she still has to snatch them!
Throwing the bowls and chopsticks aside, Cheng Yao opened her backpack and obtained the cotton-padded clothes rewarded by the system.

Produced by the system, absolutely a good product.

As soon as she put on this cotton coat, Cheng Yao felt like she was surrounded by warmth. The warm feeling made her want to doze off.

I looked at my current account balance and saw a total of 45 points.

I went to the system mall again and found that the point prices here are more similar to those in the real world.

The points she has now are only enough to exchange for some basic food. If she wants to get big items, she still needs to continue working hard.

Now that she has a novice protection period, she will wander around for the next three months if she has nothing to do. Sooner or later, she will be able to save her first pot of gold, and then she can just find an opportunity to slip away.

She had a headache when she thought of that terrible home. In the real world, she was an orphan. She went to college with the help of the public and her own efforts.

When I was a child, I fantasized about my parents countless times, but then I thought, if I had such a top-notch family, I might as well grow up barbarically.

Cheng Yao was wrapped in cotton clothes and nestled in the corner of the sweet potato cellar, looking at the dim sunlight outside and closing her eyes in a daze.

She was really tired. She had been busy for a long time, so she had to take a rest first.

When she woke up, it was already night. After getting out of the sweet potato cellar, Cheng Yao looked at the moon hanging high in the sky and walked toward home, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Before I even stepped into the house, I heard the sounds of beatings and scolding coming from inside.

"You bitch, you dare to eat secretly at noon!"

"If my mother hadn't told me this personally, I wouldn't have believed you were so brave now!" "Do you still take me seriously? I think I'm just too good to you. As a result, you can’t even tell who is the master of this family.”

The speaker, Cheng Yao's father, Cheng Zong, the third eldest child in the family, was mercilessly insulting Yang Guiqiu.

"Master, please listen to my explanation. I really didn't eat it secretly. I didn't know what happened, so I missed a bowl. I'm also confused."

"I've been in Lao Cheng's house for so many years, and you still don't believe me?"

It's a pity that Cheng Zong couldn't listen to any explanation now. As soon as Yang Guiqiu finished speaking, there was a crisp sound of applause.

Cheng Yao peeked inside through the crack in the open door.

Yang Guiqiu was seen sitting in the middle of the yard, covering his face with one hand and holding the hem of Cheng Zong's clothes with the other.

Shaking his head innocently, with tears in his eyes, he looked pitiful.

Liu Cui, Zhang Yufen and others just stayed in their own rooms, not even bothering to take a look.

This Cheng Zong is a rotten person who doesn't know what to do. He knows everything about food, drink, whoring, and gambling. He beats his wife and children with ease, and takes out his anger on Yang Guiqiu and Cheng Yao every now and then.

The rest of the Cheng family have long been accustomed to this. In their eyes, Yang Guiqiu and Cheng Yao are both outsiders.

As long as Cheng Zong doesn't beat them to death and the government doesn't come looking for them, then it won't be a big problem.

If the commotion gets serious, the neighbors will only find it noisy and will not stop it. After all, it is someone else’s family matter.

Therefore, every time after being beaten, Yang Guiqiu could only cry uselessly with Cheng Yao, and then get up and work the next day after crying.

The most cruel thing that Cheng Zong played was gambling. He stayed in the gambling house every day, trying to get rich by doing so, change his destiny directly against the will of heaven, and reach the sky in one step.

Cheng Zong originally only wanted to have a son, but fate had a twist. He had a conflict with others in a gambling house in the early years, and his life was injured in the chaos.

Although he blackmailed the other party severely based on this incident, he also suffered from the problem of infertility.

Therefore, Cheng Yao became his only biological flesh and blood, but Cheng Zong did not pay much attention to Cheng Yao.

In his eyes, he just wants to exploit Cheng Yao as a free labor force first, and then exchange it for a betrothal gift when he is old enough.

The abacus in my mind was going on, and I refused to let myself suffer any loss. I just wanted to spend the least money and get the most beneficial results.

What's even more sad is that Cheng Yao's "Yao" was originally "Yao" who died young.

Cheng Zong wished that she would die so as not to block the reincarnation of her precious son.

In the next few years, there was no hope of that, so it was changed to the current "Yao" in order not to be ignored.

Cheng Yao saw that the shameless gambler's father was in such a bad mood today, and knew that he must have lost money in the gambling house again.

Although Yang Guiqiu was cowardly, she was an ordinary woman after all. Seeing how miserable she was, Cheng Yao felt compassion.

He kicked the door open and stopped Cheng Zong's movements.

"Let go of my mother-in-law!"

Cheng Zong had some drinks outside today, and now it's time to go up.

He didn't expect that someone would dare to jump out and resist him. When he looked carefully, it was his loser daughter, and he immediately sneered.

"Cheng Yao, you damn girl has a convulsion, right? How dare you teach your father how to do things!"

"Come here, you bastard, and I'll take care of you after I finish teaching your mother a lesson!"

"I think it's been two days since I spanked you, and your skin is very itchy!"

To be honest, seeing such a vicious gambler, Cheng Yao would be lying if she said she wasn't afraid.

But today, she is different from ordinary children, and she still has some ability to protect herself.

If the other person makes a move, she will catch him by surprise and punch him!
Cheng Yao swallowed nervously, clenched her fists at her side, and slowly approached Cheng Zong.

When she got closer, Cheng Zong's eyes, which were blurred by drunkenness, could see more clearly.

When did his cheap daughter wear such a nice jacket?
