“Mom, Mom, did you enter my room?” Gao Lingxue was about to go shopping, but she didn't expect her card, which she had hidden in her cabinet, to go missing.

Chi Guihua came in and saw Gao Lingxue rummaging through the cabinet as she looked for something, and was somewhat puzzled. “What are you looking for? You're making a mess.”

“My card, my bank card!” Gao Lingxue said anxiously.

“It's not like you have much money on your card anyway. I'm going out to play mahjong, so I'll leave you to it.” Chi Guihua didn't take her words to heart at all.

Seeing that Chi Guihua was about to leave, Gao Lingxue remembered that her mother had been losing at mahjong recently. Where would her mother have the money to play now? Besides, her mother loved going in and out of her room the most, so she was afraid that her mother might have stolen her money. She quickly stopped her mother and asked her suspiciously, “Mom, did you take it or not? Tell me the truth!”

Chi Guihua realized that something was wrong with Gao Lingxue this time and glared at her angrily. “Did your Fourth Uncle secretly give you money? How much did he give you, you d.a.m.n girl? Hurry up and tell me! How much was on that card?”

One suspected the other of stealing the money, while the other was angry that Gao Lingxue had the money and didn't report it. They started to argue and even got into a catfight. Of course, Gao Lingxue was overwhelmingly crushed, but she wouldn't take it lying down either.

Gao Han came home looking exhausted and dispirited, only to see Chi Guihua clutching Gao Lingxue and beating her up. The house was in a frenzy and he was beset with anxiety. He was about to reprimand the two, but after some thought, he first asked Gao Yuanxin, who pounced on him and hugged his legs, “What are they arguing about?”

“It seems something went missing in Sister's room.” Gao Yuanxin was scared. When Gao Han heard this, his face stiffened and he choked down the rebuke that was about to escape his mouth. Looking at the mother and daughter, who were both flushed with anger, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.

At the dining table, Chi Guihua asked Gao Han with a livid face, “Where did you take that card?” Gao Lingxue, whose cheeks were red and swollen, also looked furiously at Gao Han. It turned out that the second son, Gao Yuanyang, had seen Gao Han sneak into Gao Lingxue's room, and he told Chi Guihua and Gao Lingxue about it.

Stared at by his family, Gao Han was about to deny it, but Gao Yuanyang, that rascal, shouted, “Dad, I saw you sneaking out of our room with my own eyes. You also took all my allowance, and I still have to save up to buy and do some things. Dad, just give me a few tens of thousands. Anyway, you still have more than 200,000.”

Gao Han glared fiercely at his second son and cursed inwardly at the ingrate. He also knew that he couldn't hide it any longer.

It turned out that Gao Han was addicted to gambling. He had been troubled by petty matters at home in the last few days. As soon as he got home, Chi Guihua, that b*tch, would start arguing with him, insisting that he go out to work and feed the family. How could he be willing to go out and work for someone else? Agitated by the arguing, he almost spiraled into depression, so he went out to gamble and relax. It was just that he had quickly lost what little capital he had. His friends urged him to gamble a little more and wait for his luck to turn around before stopping.

Gao Han also felt that he would definitely win the next time. It would be a pity if he stopped like this. Unfortunately, his heartless brother-in-law no longer sent them money, so he could only turn his attention to the New Year's money for his two sons and one daughter. He had placed a small bet, but to his surprise and reproach, there was actually more than 200,000 yuan on his daughter's card. This d.a.m.ned girl actually hogged everything and didn't tell him about it.

Gao Han had hurriedly put all the money into a huge bet on the gambling table, thinking that he would definitely win. Who knew that he would lose everything?

“Did you lose everything?” When Chi Guihua saw that Gao Han's complexion didn't look good, she suddenly had a bad premonition. Seeing that Gao Han didn't deny it, Chi Guihua was so angry that she blew her top. She started arguing with Gao Han again, smas.h.i.+ng the bowls and plates at home with loud bangs. In the end, she simply hit him bare-handed.

Finally, Gao Lingxue proposed that they buy some orchids to cultivate like Chi Shuyan. They really did find several diseased orchids, but even then, they were still extremely expensive, and easily cost 300,000 to 400,000.

Gao Han's family could only mortgage their house first and use the loan to buy several sick orchids to cultivate.
