Chapter 188: Chapter 167: Wang Sheng: Wait, You Even Abandoned Me?! (Part 2)

"Damn, mahjong gambling? Isn’t this just like that old man’s story, rural areas in the past had nothing to play with, mahjong was just to fill the gap."

...

Mahjong gambling is common in rural areas, so when Wang Sheng’s adoptive father mentioned it, people didn’t immediately link it to this old man.

After all, a person as despicable as to abandon their child once is enough.

Could he abandon a child twice?

Wang Sheng also didn’t pay much attention, he was just about to say the most venomous words, but when he lowered his head, he saw the old man silently with his head lowered, not saying a word, and he instantly felt his throat tighten.

This old man is his guarantee for promotion and salary increase, even though he might be full of resentment at this moment, he had to restrain himself a bit.

Immediately, he switched to a relatively calm tone: "This can be understood, after all, in rural areas, with not much entertainment, playing mahjong is completely normal, understandable, understandable."

Wang Sheng’s adoptive father spoke again: "Dad thought the same at the time, even though now, Mahjong gambling is widespread in the village, it wouldn’t lead to relatives refusing to interact, would it?"

"Maybe the relatives at home saw him as not ambitious and feared he might come to borrow money." Wang Sheng picked at his nails, suppressing the disgust he felt inside, and replied casually.

"Sigh, it’s even more... disgusting than that. Do you know how your biological mother passed away?"

Upon hearing his adoptive father’s suddenly heavy tone, Wang Sheng deliberately triggered his response, inhaling heavily: "How... how did she die!"

"You know, there’s no limit to gambling, once you’ve touched this stuff, your whole life is pretty much ruined." Wang Sheng’s adoptive father sighed again: "Once, he lost his temper at the card table, his chips were already exhausted, but he still wanted to gamble. The people running the table laughed at him, ’You’ve got no chips, what are you using to play with us...’"

Before he finished talking, Wang Sheng already had a premonition, he instantly clenched his fist, his eyes starting to redden, veins bulged on his arms.

Sure enough, Wang Sheng’s adoptive father’s next words confirmed his guess: "A gambler who’s lost his temper will do anything. Since he had no chips himself, he took the things around him as chips. He glanced at your biological mother and directly pointed at her, saying this was his chip..."

"Unexpectedly, he soon lost the mahjong match too. In his unwilling gaze, the people running the table feared he might get desperate, so they gave him one night, saying they’d collect the debt the next evening and told him to prepare your biological mother mentally."

"Regardless of anything, your biological mother was a person. How could she endure such shame? That night, the pesticide used for farm work... was emptied."

Wang Sheng couldn’t hold back anymore; to hell with promotion and salary increase, now he just wanted to curse loudly.

"Damn it! Is he still human?"

"It’s enough he abandoned me; he even drove his wife to death, why doesn’t he go die himself?"

"How can such a beast still live in this world? Oh, I understand now; surely his soul smells too bad, King Yama found him disgusting and doesn’t want to collect it, that’s why he’s still alive."

"Dad, who is he? Who is he? I’m going to kill him, I’m going to kill him!"

In a frantic release of his emotions, Wang Sheng naturally didn’t notice the old man’s change in expression.

But Ning An, who had been staring at the old man, saw all his expressions clearly.

When the old man heard about rural mahjong gambling, he still had a smug face, after all, in rural areas, almost everyone likes mahjong, and playing mahjong without money, is that still playing mahjong?!

But when he heard about driving his wife to death, his face instantly changed to panic, he raised his head, a bit shocked and confused, with an indescribable fear in his eyes. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

However, Wang Sheng didn’t pay attention to him at all; he just wanted to speak his heart to his biological father.

The hesitating aunties and women nearby, emotions accumulated, joined in the curses incessantly.

"He’s genuinely a beast! Such a good girl was abandoned by this old man first, and harm followed all around. Then this young lad was also abandoned by his biological father, truly gambling harms people."

"Do they treat what they give birth to as toys? Throw them away as they please, not a bit of humanity, why don’t they die?"

"Alive, wasting air, dead, wasting land. Why didn’t his dad just ejaculate against the wall? Even if he was a stone monkey rubbed out of a rock, he’d have more heart and soul!"

"..."

Listening to these curses, the old man silently lowered his head.

Ning An watched the scene and chuckled softly.

Doesn’t this old man want to run away?

Ridiculous, at this moment he wants to run away more than anyone else.

But with his legs and feet, even walking is difficult, where can he run?

Wang Sheng, with reddened eyes, punched the air, the roaring sound shook the old man’s spirit.

"Dad, tell me, what’s that beast’s name? Where does he live, I’ll buy him some good stuff, let him replenish himself!"

Hearing him say this, Wang Wenyan silently took out a piece of paper from her pocket, stepped forward two steps, and placed it in his hand.

Looking at the paper in his hand, Wang Sheng was a bit confused: "What is this?"

Wang Wenyan spoke lightly: "The place selling rat poison, the boss from that shop is my boyfriend, mention my name, and you can get a discount."

"By the way, if you think rat poison won’t work, they also have pesticides. Again, mention my name, you can still get a discount."

Looking at the suddenly stunned Wang Sheng, the viewers in the livestream laughed uncontrollably.

"The world kissed me with pain, I gave back a song, hahaha."

"He was just trying to persuade people to support the elderly, now the tables have turned, disaster suddenly struck, hilarious."

"Now let’s see his choice, if he keeps asking people to take care of the old man ’til death, I’ll personally help him find his biological father. If he won’t support him, I’ll contact his work unit, if he can continue working, then I lose!"

"Not mentioning empathy, now he should understand the feeling too, it’s unlikely he’ll insist on forcing the girl to take care of this old beast ’til death."

The matter was already set in stone, even the old man’s face was pale, he didn’t dare speak.

Wang Sheng looked up at the sky, trying not to let his tears fall: "Dad, so where is my biological father, what’s his name, I want to find him."

"Sheng, don’t do anything stupid, he’s not worth it..."

"Dad, don’t worry, I just purely want to see him, no other intentions." Wang Sheng’s tone was adamant, directly cutting off further argument.

Wang Sheng’s adoptive father stayed silent for a long time, all he could say was a sigh: "He lives in Nanyang Village, Lixian County."

"Lixian County? Nanyang Village, why does that sound familiar?" Wang Sheng suddenly paused his breathing, then looked at the old man in confusion: "Uncle Wang, where... where does your family live?"

The old man no longer dared to speak, he kept lowering his head, trying to diminish his presence.

Wang Wenyan, from the side, chimed in succinctly: "Lixian County, Nanyang Village."

Damn!

"No, Uncle, are people in your village so ruthless?"

As if struck by lightning, Wang Sheng’s face turned green and white, he clenched his back teeth, trying not to show his fierce anger.

"As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked. It’s difficult to imagine what the village customs of Nanyang Village are like, with such beasts emerging in droves."

"Originally thought it was just this old man being a beast, didn’t expect the maggots in the toilet to always come in groups."

"Watching the drama unfold to oneself, the mediator hasn’t lost his cool yet, his attitude is impressive, no wonder the leaders trust him as a mediator."

"..."

Wang Sheng didn’t speak further, he glared at the old man viciously, took a deep breath, calmed himself slightly, and with a tone of wandering and fear, he pretended to ask calmly: "Dad, what’s his name?"

"Wang Baosheng."

"What?"

"What!"

The two exclamations rang out almost simultaneously, one from Wang Sheng, the other from Wang Wenyan.

Wang Sheng suddenly lowered his head, looked at the old man, his tone was bewildered, his voice trembled: "What... what’s your name again..."

The old man was unwilling to respond, still not speaking, Wang Wenyan stepped forward two steps, her voice equally trembling:

"Wang... Wang Baosheng."
