Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

After a long silence, the aunt finally took a deep breath and said, "For Xiaokun's sake, I'm giving you one last chance. If you gamble again, you can forget about living together. Swear an oath in front of your older sister!"

"Yes, yes, I, Lin Jinde, will never gamble again. If I break this promise, my wife and children will be torn apart!" Lin Jinde solemnly swore.

Seeing this, Ye's mother didn't say anything more.

Even though she's the older sister, she's an outsider in this kind of family matter and has no right to interfere.

Ye Chen, who was in the car, also shook his head. He couldn't sense much sincerity from his uncle-in-law, and it was hard to say how long this vow would last.

However, since my aunt has already made her choice, this is the only way things can be.

Everyone has the right to choose their own life, and everyone has their own way of living.

"Where will we stay in Lucheng? What about Xiaokun's schooling?" Auntie asked worriedly.

"I have a relative who owns two apartments in Lucheng. Xiaokun can temporarily enroll in a nearby school under his name. We can just rent one near the school!"

Ye's mother opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't mention that her "dog son" also had a house in Lucheng.

Things were already chaotic enough, and she didn't want Ye Chen to be affected by it. Since they already had arrangements, she simply kept quiet.

In the end, my aunt nodded. The items in the shop weren't very valuable, and it would be relatively easy to take over the shop.

They have the skills; having been in the catering business for so many years, opening a new shop in a different location would be a piece of cake for them.

We've saved 70, which is enough to do a lot of things!

"Are you leaving in such a hurry? There's a lot of stuff to move, I'm afraid it won't be quick," my aunt sighed.

"Hurry back and pack your things, take as much as you can. Who knows when those guys will come back? We're leaving in half an hour. We can buy anything we need when we get there. I'm calling the teacher now to pick up Xiaokun. We'll meet downstairs in half an hour!"

Lin Jinde hurriedly arranged the itinerary.

"Sister, I'm leaving now!" Lin Jinde said goodbye and went out.

The aunt looked at her older sister with a hint of apology: "Sister, I... I can't properly host you now. Once I'm settled in Lucheng, if you happen to be visiting, I'll make the necessary arrangements!"

Ye's mother shook her head: "Sigh, you silly girl, where's your dorm? I'll come help you unpack."

My aunt waved her hand: "It's just in that row of houses behind. You don't need to go. The houses were just sold and things haven't been tidied up yet. It's a mess. I can just tidy it up myself."

"Stop arguing and let's go!" Ye's mother insisted on going.

My aunt didn't insist any further. She tidied up a bit and then closed the shop.

The two walked quickly away towards the houses behind them.

Ye Chen and his father did not show their faces in the car at all, nor did they show any intention of helping.

Just pretend you never came today.

It's not about having more people involved in this kind of thing. They're sisters, so it's not a big deal for them to show their vulnerable side.

However, it wasn't appropriate for the two grown men to go; it was like giving their aunt a final bit of dignity.

About half an hour later, Lin Jinde arrived in a somewhat old van, which was probably the van he used to haul goods.

About 10 minutes later, Ye Chen saw the van fully loaded and drive off, with his mother walking back alone behind it.

A perfectly good family was reduced to a desperate flight because of gambling. They sold their house, closed their shop, and left their hometown.

Ye's mother got into the car, not in a very good mood!

I originally wanted to share my joy after buying a car, but I witnessed this scene instead, and my joy vanished instantly.

Life is truly a tapestry of experiences, with some finding joy and others sorrow.

"I secretly transferred 1 yuan to Bihua as a small token of my appreciation as her older sister. You won't blame me, will you?" Ye's mother said in a somewhat dejected voice.

"Mom, what are you saying? It's just 1 yuan. We unconditionally support all the decisions you make, right, Dad?" Ye Chen comforted his mother.

"Yes, yes, we support your decision. Although Lin Jinde is a bit of a scoundrel, your sister and Xiao Kun are innocent!" Ye's father chimed in.

"Let's go to my second uncle's house, he said he'd treat us to dinner!" Ye Chen changed the subject.

Just as Mr. Ye was about to set off in his car, the bread truck that came to collect the debt arrived again, this time followed by another bread truck, looking quite menacing.

Thank goodness my aunt and the others left quickly; if they had left a moment later, they probably wouldn't have made it.

Sure enough, people's minds work quickly in times of crisis.

The white-haired youth got off the bus first, followed by eleven or twelve people from two vans, each carrying knives and clubs.

"Damn it, they closed the shop! They got away!" the white-haired youth cursed angrily.

"Smash it!" someone shouted.

Immediately, three or five people rushed over and vented their anger at the shop door.

The white-haired youth spat out some phlegm and paced back and forth, looking very agitated.

He'll be very upset if he can't get the money back.

He looked around and glanced at the red SUV that was slowly starting to move.

I happened to catch a glimpse of Ye's mother's profile in the passenger seat.

Because of the sunlight, the windshield reflected light, making it impossible for them to see the people inside.

Now that the angle has changed, he vaguely saw Ye's mother's face for a fleeting moment; yes, it was her.

Although it's not 100% certain, this car has been parked in front of the store for quite some time, so it's unlikely to be such a coincidence.

The white-haired youth's eyes lit up, and he shouted sharply, "Hey, stop the car!"

Ye's father naturally heard the white-haired youth's shouts from inside the car, but he wasn't about to stop and get entangled with these people.

Just pretend you didn't hear it!

Ye's father stepped on the gas, and the car sped away, leaving behind the cursing, white-haired youth.

"What's wrong with White Hair?" a bald man asked.

"The woman I was talking about is in that red SUV!" White Hair said, rubbing his inner thigh. He had pulled a muscle not long ago and it wasn't fully healed yet.

"Is that the woman you mentioned who knows kung fu?" The bald man frowned.

"Yes, that's her. I'm not mistaken. She seems to be Lin Jinde's wife's older sister. Should we go after her?!" White Hair nodded.

"Damn, you should have said so earlier! Since Lin Jinde is hiding, let's grab his older sister first. Hurry up and get in the car to catch up with the red SUV ahead!" the bald man called out to the group.

Inside the SUV, Mr. Ye glanced at the rearview mirror and tightened his grip on the steering wheel: "Those guys look like they're about to chase us! I'm afraid my driving skills aren't good enough to shake them off!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Just keep going, they can't catch up!"

As he spoke, Ye Chen lowered the car window, and a dark shadow flew out from his hand!

The bald man, the white-haired youth, and others had just gotten into the car when, with a "bang," the tire burst.

The bread truck's tires weren't the self-healing kind; they went flat instantly, causing it to tilt at an angle.

"Damn it, who the hell is overweight!" the bald man cursed.
