Quick Transmigration: Can This Kind of Scum Become the Chosen One?

Chapter 286 This Dad is Yours 11

Finally, dawn broke.

Jiang Mu got up.

Looking at myself in the mirror, my eyes were a little red and swollen.

I applied a hot towel to my eyes to make myself look a little better.

I thought about it all night last night.

Jiang's mother knew that she still had a lot to do.

She needed to take stock of the family's money.

These are all marital property. Did Jiang's father get her consent before giving them away to others?

All of these must be returned.

And Jiang He.

She was determined to take her daughter with her.

But she is currently unemployed; she is a housewife.

If she gets divorced, what if her father tries to fight her for custody, and she loses?

She wouldn't allow Jiang's father to take Jiang He away.

She needs to be fully prepared.

Moreover, if she could obtain substantial evidence of her father's infidelity, she might be able to find a way to make him leave with nothing.

Or try to get Jiang's father to commit some crime.

Jiang's mother knew that Jiang's father was actually someone who couldn't resist temptation.

Jiang's father has a history of gambling.

I lost hundreds of thousands of dollars before.

At that time, she was pregnant with Jiang He and threatened to kill herself to get Jiang's father to quit gambling.

Later, she took charge of most of the family's money.

Jiang's father only had tens of thousands of yuan at most.

Jiang's mother knew that Jiang's father would secretly play cards to satisfy his cravings.

Play a couple of rounds with the people on the construction site.

It's just that the players don't have much money, so they can only play for small amounts.

They didn't play too hard; it was just a few dollars' worth of entertainment, and Jiang's mother didn't want to push them too hard.

If we let Jiang's father play freely.

It only takes one night to go bankrupt.

What good can come of gambling?

Since Jiang's father betrayed them, she shouldn't blame her for fighting to the death.

As usual, Jiang's mother prepared breakfast for Jiang He.

Then he walked Jiang He to school from behind.

After Jiang He entered the school, Jiang's mother did not leave immediately to go to the vegetable market.

Instead, they went to the breakfast shop across from the school.

I went into the store, ordered breakfast, and looked towards the school gate.

Soon, Jiang's mother saw the person she was looking for.

Among the students wearing school uniforms, one person who wasn't wearing a school uniform still stood out.

Not to mention that the mother and daughter were wearing the same clothes as yesterday.

Oh, these clothes seem to have been given to me by Father Jiang.

Jiang's mother remembered seeing a record of buying clothes at a clothing store last night.

Jiang's mother saw the girl enter the school, and the woman took out her phone, sent some messages, and then left.

Jiang's mother got up and went to the market to buy vegetables.

To my surprise, I also discovered that the woman was shopping at the market.

Jiang's mother realized that the woman didn't seem to recognize her.

While buying groceries, I was still on the phone, asking the other person what they wanted to eat.

Jiang's mother also took out her phone and called Jiang's father.

The number you dialed is currently busy.

Jiang's mother hung up the phone.

The woman walked up to the crab stall and bought two crabs, one large and one small.

Jiang's mother also went over and picked out several large crabs, specifically choosing the big ones.

The woman left the market.

Jiang's mother went to the fruit stall again.

Jiang He said she wanted to eat strawberries last night, so she bought some for her.

As Jiang left the market, his father called.

"Did you call me just now because you needed something?"

"Oh, nothing, I just wanted to ask what breakfast I brought you. I was thinking of letting you sleep in a little longer this morning, so I didn't make you breakfast."

Who were you talking to on the phone just now? Are you going out for lunch, or are you eating at home?

If you go out, I won't go grocery shopping.

"I was just about to tell you that I'm going out later and won't be back for lunch."

Don't buy me breakfast. I'm going out now, so I'll just eat out.

Are you coming back now?

"Okay, I'll be back in a bit. I'm having breakfast at this breakfast shop. You don't need to bring breakfast; I'll just come right back."

"Okay, come back now, I'm heading out."

Jiang's mother hung up the phone. Then she walked to the school gate.

There weren't many people left at the school gate at this time.

"Xiaohe's mom." Li Ziyan greeted Jiang's mother.

"Oh, it's Ziyan. Good morning."

"Hurry up and go in, you're already late. I told you to hurry up this morning, but you kept dawdling," Grandma Ziyan urged.

Li Ziyan dashed off to the classroom.

"This child, after being urged at home for ages, remained unmoved, but now he knows he's going to run away."

"Kids, now that it's getting cold, they do want to stay in bed a little longer."

"She's just slow by nature, she does everything slowly, and she takes a long time every night to finish her homework."

"If you go to bed late, of course you won't be able to get up in the morning."

Grandma Ziyan also said that she felt very troubled.

"Xiaohe's mom, what groceries did you buy today?"

"No one was home today, I was the only one at noon, so I didn't buy any groceries."

The crabs are doing well now, so I bought some.

Xiaohe said she wanted to eat strawberries, so I bought some.

"Oh, I just ran into Xiaohe's dad. It looks like he drove off."

I've noticed that Xiaohe's dad has been quite busy lately; he doesn't even pick Xiaohe up from school very often anymore.

He went to school by himself.

"Yes, Xiaohe's dad has been busy lately, I don't know what he's been up to. He goes out a lot, sometimes he even runs out halfway through a meal."

Sometimes, he doesn't even come home at night.

I asked him, but he wouldn't tell me.

Jiang's mother said with distress.

"Does Xiaohe's dad really not come home at night?"

Two days ago, when Xiaohe was at school, she mentioned that her father had promised to have dinner with her, but he didn't come back.

I promised to bring her breakfast in the morning and take her to school, but I didn't.

I thought it was because I got back too late and Xiaohe was already asleep, so she didn't know.

When Jiang's mother heard what Grandma Ziyan said, she just nodded and said with a wry smile, "Actually, I'm not worried about anything else."

I'm just afraid he'll gamble again like before, which would really cause a lot of trouble.

However, he hasn't gambled in all these years, so he probably won't this time either.

But probably not, he said it was something that happened at the construction site.

"I guess things will be better once this busy period is over."

Grandma Ziyan became nervous for Jiang's mother after hearing this.

Back then, Mr. Jiang lost hundreds of thousands, or even millions, gambling, which caused quite a stir in the neighborhood.

Jiang's mother was heavily pregnant at the time. She climbed onto the rooftop and threatened to kill herself to force Jiang's father to quit gambling.

If it weren't for Jiang's mother forcing Jiang's father to change his ways, who knows what kind of mess he would be in now.

No one who gambles ever ends well.

No matter how much wealth one has, it will all be squandered.

Two people in their neighborhood have committed suicide by jumping off buildings after losing everything due to gambling.

Speaking of which, those two knew Jiang's father.

If it weren't for Jiang's mother, Jiang's father might have ended up like them.
