The world begins with shameless people

Villa, basement.

Fiona gritted her teeth, climbed up with difficulty, and glared fiercely at the unknown colleagues.

Several colleagues were laughing and making sarcastic remarks.

Harsh words passed into her ears one after another. As Fiona listened, she really wanted to pour the shit on the ground down the throats of those bastards.

Unfortunately, this cannot be done!

It took a lot of effort to find this job. I must not lose it, otherwise I won’t be able to afford a living.

Thinking of the extremely boring life, Fiona calmed down little by little, withdrew her gaze, took care of herself briefly, and then continued to work, even though tears were already rolling in her eyes, and the pain in her heart was boiling.

this is life.

In order to survive, one must endure.

Fiona tried her best to comfort herself while working.

……

Xiuer Chinese Restaurant.

Veronica, who is exquisitely dressed and quite beautiful, is cutting fruits and making a fruit plate with Vivian.

Life is simple, comfortable, and you can make a lot of money.

Veronica felt satisfied from the inside out and felt that this kind of life was really great.

.....
The second store of Xiuer Fruit Shop.

Because the customer base of the first store has been basically stable, and the second store has just opened not long ago, Svetlana has been busy here, personally entertaining all kinds of customers.

With each banknote in hand, Svetlana now dresses in a petty bourgeois style, and her former identity as a handicraft artist cannot be traced. She smiles very brightly and sincerely.

Although they are not making enough money at the moment, both stores are making money...
More importantly, if you work hard for a few months to build up the business of the second store, then there will be a third store, there will be a fourth store...

Let's imagine.

One year later, or two years later, Xiu'er Fruit Store opened ten or even more...
How much money can you make every day?

Svetlana was looking forward to that day very much, and in her deep eyes, the image of a bright future was clearly shown.

……

In the apartment building.

The people Tommy hired were doing construction work.

Karen held a cigarette in her mouth, wandering around, looking at this room and then that room, smiling and calculating in her mind.

Renting out a room can earn you several hundred dollars a month.

There are so many rooms. If you rent them all out, you will earn a lot of money in a month without doing any work!

How cool!
besides……

You can also leave a room for yourself to live in, and it will be convenient to bring a man back later.

How much money can you make from those men?

Haha, you stupid man, as long as you hook up with someone a little bit, you will immediately fall into the trap as easily as a fool...

Karen really felt unworthy of herself for sleeping with those men in the past.

There are so many men. If they all paid some money, they would have earned a lot.

Karen felt regretful and shook her head.

While thinking, Karen arrived at the door of a room with a tenant living in it.

The tenant of this room was due to pay the rent several days ago, but has refused to pay.

Karen came over and communicated in a friendly manner several times before, but in the end, she still didn’t receive the money!

That's all her money!

Karen got angry, raised her hand and banged on the door, and shouted without politeness, "Pay the rent within today, otherwise..."

Karen yelled.

Roaring and roaring, suddenly, a feeling of nausea surged into his throat unexpectedly.

Karen instinctively vomited and took another long puff of cigarette. Then, her eyes lit up and she suddenly realized what this nauseating feeling was about!

The next second, Karen smiled.

This is pregnancy!
Lip is going to be a father again... This is not the point. The point is that he can make a lot of money this time.

Karen was very happy all of a sudden, but this did not affect her roar.

Although the rent money is small, it is still money!

Karen yelled a few more words and threatened her, then she walked out quickly, got in the car and went straight to the drugstore to buy a pregnancy test stick, and then hurried home.

Eddie went to work and Sheila was alone at home.

Although it was still a long time before evening, Sheila was already busy in the kitchen because Frank had told her to have dinner early before leaving.

Seeing Karen coming back, Sheila quickly said hello, "Karen, why are you back so soon?"

Karen kept walking and smiled at Sheila.

Karen still respects Sheila as a mother and feels very sorry for her.

Therefore, the smile is genuine, not fake.

"I forgot something and I have to go out later," Karen replied obediently.

"Oh, don't leave anything behind this time," Silla reminded.

"Yeah," Karen responded and ran to the bathroom upstairs.

When you get to the bathroom, follow the procedure.

It only takes a moment.

The answer is revealed.

She is indeed pregnant.

As for whether the child is Lip's...

Karen thought about it and wasn't 100% sure, but she was more than 90% sure.

With the result, Karen lit a cigarette, thought for a while, and decided to send a text message to Ding Xiu to see what Ding Xiu planned to do next.

[Don’t tell Lip just yet, wait until I notify you.] After receiving the text message, Ding Xiu thought for a while and replied.

In Ding Xiu's view, this kind of 'good' news must of course wait for the best time before Lip can learn about it and make Lip happy.

Ding Xiu believes that the best time will come soon.

After all, Ian is now suffering from bipolar disorder, and he will definitely do something crazy before long... Plus, Monica is back...

Monica is like a tornado. Every time she passes by the Gallagher house, she will inevitably cause a lot of trouble, and then leave a lot of mess behind and leave.

This time will be no exception.

Thinking about it, Ding Xiu couldn't help but laugh and shook his head.

Monica Gallagher and Frank Gallagher, this couple, from a certain point of view, must be regarded as assists.

Interesting.

After receiving Ding Xiu's instructions, Karen decisively followed them without any objection.

Not long after.

Karen Ma slipped into a more mature outfit and dressed herself up as if she was an adult. Then she walked out quickly, got in the car and went straight to downtown Chicago.

Being pregnant is an opportunity to make a lot of money.

How could you miss this opportunity?

Karen wants to find a man, an honest man who looks like he has some money and is honest.

On the road.

Karen made calculations excitedly, thinking that if everything went well this time, it would be absolutely no problem to get ten to twenty thousand US dollars.

"Life is good!" Karen said to herself with a smile.
-
The Gallaghers.

Under the strong request of Monica, who is desperate to play the role of a good mother, Frank is helping to clean up the house for the first time.

Of course, he only put in a little effort and was generally just pretending.

There is no real benefit to cleaning up this run-down house, so Frank is not willing to do it. Monica was so excited that she didn't notice Frank's work and was busy working non-stop.

Lip watched coldly, becoming more and more irritated as he watched. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain and got up. He decided to stay out of sight and slowly moved towards the backyard.

house.

Monica had been busy for a long time and when she got tired, she decisively threw away the things in her hand and was done.

This is what Frank was waiting for, so he immediately let go, ran up behind Monica, hugged her, put his mouth to Monica's ear, and whispered seductively, "Monica, let's go get some money." , buy some medicine and be happy."

Monica was tempted and was a little moved. Then she became entangled, "I want to be a good mother this time and take good care of Fiona and the others. I can't eat those unique products anymore..."

Frank knew Monica so well that he didn't let Monica finish her words and continued, "Fiona is not here now. When she comes back, you will have time to be a good mother again."

"Come on, Monica, I know what you're thinking."

Frank seduced hard.

Monica couldn't stand it. After holding on for a while, she announced her surrender and asked excitedly, "Then how are we going to make money?"

Frank smiled evilly and pointed at Liam in the crib.

When Monica saw it, she immediately understood and nodded in agreement with a smile.

"We have to move fast, because if that little brat Lip comes back, this won't work," Frank whispered.

Monica nodded, her ugly face clearly showing the pleasure brought by doing bad things.

In no time.

Frank and Monica, tiptoeing like thieves, left the Gallagher house with Liam and walked quickly towards the light rail station.

Trying to rely on Liam for begging wouldn't work here in the South End.

Both Frank and Monica are well-known figures in the South Side, and no one will give them money.

Time flew by and more than an hour passed.

An intersection in the North District.

Monica hugged Liam and started begging with a pitiful look on her face.

The Gallaghers.

Sitting in the van that was used to sell goods, enjoying the tranquility without the interruption of Frank and Monica, he smoked another large cigarette and drank two cans of beer. Lip closed his eyes, feeling dizzy. Fell asleep.

Under the dual effects of alcohol and Malaysia, Lip quickly fell asleep and fell asleep deeply.

***************
The sun sets gradually in the west.

After today's work was over, Fiona took a deep breath and walked home with heavy steps. As she walked, she thought about the winter fund.

This is a big problem.

In previous years, the five of them would work together to make as much money as possible at the beginning of summer to replenish their winter funds.

In the past few years, following this operation, their winters have been relatively stable.

But this year...

Debbie is in juvenile detention, the daycare income is gone, Lip's leg will take a while to heal, Ian has bipolar disorder again, Carl has moved away...

Originally five people made money to survive the winter, but now one person makes money...

As a result, unless a miracle occurs, the money they can earn this summer will never be able to survive the winter.

Money, money!
The more Fiona thought about it, the more irritated she became. All kinds of ways to make money came to her mind. At the same time, she was determined to quickly find a way to find a night shift job.

It has to be like this, if you don’t have money, winter will really kill you!

Fiona walked and thought a lot, and unknowingly returned to the Gallagher house.

Entering the living room, Fiona immediately felt something was wrong. Many things had changed their positions, and it was too quiet!
next second.

As soon as her eyes moved, Fiona realized that Liam was not there.

Geek!

So quiet, coupled with Liam's absence... the answer is obvious, it is most likely that Monica took Liam away! ! !
Such thoughts popped into her head. In an instant, Fiona's heart sank to the bottom. She hurriedly opened her mouth and shouted, "Monica! Lip! Liam!"

No response.

Fiona was going crazy and ran away immediately.

It took about ten minutes to search the entire house, but there was no trace of Liam at all, and even Lip was nowhere to be found...

Fiona's head almost exploded, she couldn't imagine where Monica had taken Liam...

Only then did Fiona think of calling Lip.

Tens of seconds later.

Fiona was so anxious that she rushed to the backyard and reached Lip who was slowly getting out of the car.

As soon as she rushed in front of Lip, Fiona immediately smelled the strong Malaysian smell emanating from Lip.

Instantly.

Fiona's face changed drastically, and anger quickly emerged on her face, "I told you to keep an eye on Liam! Are you going to hide here and smoke a big horse?"

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

Because of the phone call just now, Lip already knew that Liam was missing and felt very guilty.

But self-blame is self-blame. He is as arrogant as Lip, but he couldn't bear to be scolded by Fiona like this. He immediately responded instinctively, "What are you yelling at? Can you calm down and listen to me!"

At this time, Fiona was not in the mood to indulge Lip's bad temper, and shouted decisively, "Liam is gone, maybe dead. What is your attitude? How can you tell me to calm down?"

The two siblings just quarreled for a while.

During the argument, Lip yelled and roughly recounted the day's situation. After finishing the matter, he said firmly, "Liam was taken away by Frank and Monica. They only took him away for a few hours at most. What could happen?" ?”

"Frank may be an asshole, but he would never dare to hurt Liam!"

"I'm sure that in a little while, they will bring Liam back!"

The words hit my ears.

Fiona calmed down a little, but only a little.

Liam is so young, what if something happens?
"You should keep an eye on Liam, I told you before I went out, how could you let Frank and Monica take Liam away!" Fiona was very worried and accused again.

"Things have already happened, what's the use of calling..." Lip ignored him and wanted to retort.

After fighting for a few minutes, both siblings were very angry and the atmosphere was tense.

Neither of them spoke anymore and walked home in silence.

Gallagher's second floor.

Ian stood in front of the window, looking at Fiona and Lip in the backyard with extremely dull eyes and expressions.

From the moment Fiona and Lip started yelling at each other, Ian was up and watching until now.

at this time.

Looking at Fiona and the other two.

Ian felt that the voice of God in his head became clearer and clearer, almost deafening.

Ian continued to watch motionless, even though Fiona and Lip were no longer in his field of vision.

*********
Night falls.

After successfully begging for some money, Frank and Monica called it a day, took Liam, and went straight to a familiar reading vendor. After buying some medicine, they rushed to the Alaibo Bar.

The Gallaghers.

Fiona and Lip sat side by side on the sofa, and until now, no one spoke.

The house was lifeless.

Sheila's house.

Sheila, who had been busy all afternoon, sat at the dining table, looking at the table full of cold food, in a daze.

Ellabar Bar.

In the afternoon, Peggy, who had not yet waited for Frank and had gone to a lot of trouble to get to Aleb's Bar, was drinking angrily while planning to kill Frank and Monica.

Outside Mickey's house.

Karen checked the time and estimated that Mandy would be back soon. She got out of the car with a smile and walked towards Mickey's house. (End of chapter)
