Brucille looked at Rainie on the hospital bed and asked, “When did your father start to become like this? If nothing goes wrong for the rest of his life, is that all?”
Rainie told a story that she didn’t want to mention for many years. Her father used to be an employee of an electronic factory, and later he worked as an electric worker to repair the colorful electricity.
However, his family was still poor. After his mother’s death, he became more addicted to alcohol. Then he became gambling. From then on, he seemed to have become a different person. He had completely become a crazy person who could not be supported.
Brucille felt that a man in his fifties should also be a man of indomitable spirit.
In the evening, he asked for the address of Rainie’s house. When he passed by the market, he bought two bottles of Erguotou and asked for a pig’s trotter, a pound of beef and half a pound of peanuts.
This house was left behind by Grandpa Rainie. If it was in this era, the two of them would probably only be able to sleep in the arch.
Brucille smelled the moldy smell when he opened the door, and there was a pungent smell of smoke in the room.
“Mr. Yip, are you at home?”
Rainie’s father came out and whispered when he saw Brucille, “What’s up?”
“Mr. Yip, what I said during the day was a little heavy. Logically speaking, this junior of mine shouldn’t have said these words to you. I’m here to apologize to you.”
“You don’t need to apologize. You’re right. I’m a jerk.”
The more one drank, the better it was.
Mr. Yip invited Brucille into the room and put the braised vegetables on the table.
Half an hour later, two bottles of Erguotou had been emptied.
Mr. Yip told the rest of his life. After listening to the story, Brucille was a little sad.
It turned out that Rainie’s biological mother did not die because of accident. Instead, when she was working in the clothing field, she was molested by the supervisor. Since then, she suffered from severe depression and finally chose to end her life.
And Rainie blamed her mother’s death on her father’s drinking. A man could not accept such a fact. At that time, he had resisted, but he almost lost his life in the end.
For the reputation of his lover, he could only swallow this bitter fruit. From then on, he was unable to recover and became like this.
Mr. Yip wiped the tears in his eyes with his wrinkled hands.
“Come, nephew, since you have recognized Rainie as your younger sister, I’ll hand her over to you. So I can rest assured when I go find her mother. I’ll kneel down to you…”
Brucille was shocked. Mr. Yip really knelt down for himself.
“Mr. Yip, aren’t you ruining my life? We share the same surname and you are my elder. The difficulties of the past have passed. This Rainie no longer has a mother. You have to give her hope. I am a child without parents. I can feel this kind of loneliness and helplessness.”
The couple chatted for a long time.
Brucille could feel his father’s helplessness and even despair. From his words, he even felt that Mr. Yip had the possibility of dying.
“Mr. Yip, you have the experience of repairing electrical appliances. I will help you build a small shop later. A regular business life is better than gambling.”
“All right!”
After saying this word, Mr. Yip fell asleep on the table.
Brucille kept this matter in his mind. He didn’t want Rainie to die with his parents. He didn’t want to wait until she had a son who wanted to be filial.
He helped Mr. Yip lie on the dirty bed and locked the door.
The next morning, he was looking for a suitable facade in a neighborhood nearby. He was afraid that he could only rent a small shop, otherwise, he could not even afford the rent.
On the crossroad of a pedestrian street, there was a small room, about 10 square meters, with “This room for rent” next to the door.
Brucille and the landlord paid the rent and took the key directly.
He grabbed Mr. Yip and brought him here to check out the house. He was shocked.
“Big nephew, I just said that last night. Are you serious?”
“Mr. Yip, for Airou’s sake, I hope that you can be upright. Otherwise, you will never be a competent father in her heart.”
Mr. Yip looked at this small gaping face and made up his mind to turn over a new leaf.
When Rainie was discharged from the hospital, Brucille gave her a bank card. Apart from the 50, 000 yuan he gave Mr. Yip, there was almost 55 thousand left.
When Rainie learned that there were over five hundred thousand in the card, she refused to accept it no matter what.
“Brother, I can’t take this money, and it’s not clean at all.”
“Rainie, you’ve been in the hospital these days. I didn’t tell you that your dad has become a good man and has opened a small door to repair a electrical appliance.”
“Ah? Really? I’ll go and have a look!”
Upon hearing her father’s words, Rainie actually gave up on gambling and drinking and started doing legitimate business. She was still very happy.
The two of them came to Mr. Yip’s Assail Center. This small door was smashed to pieces. The head door was broken, and the electronic components that had just been bought were all smashed.
There was still blood on Mr. Yip’s forehead as he was tidying up the mess in the room.
Rainie rushed in and asked, “Dad, what happened? It seems like someone smashed it?”
“It’s okay, I’ll pack up. Huangqiao just came here.”
Brucille immediately understood what had happened, but he did not understand why Huang Qiao was so bold. It was true that the fire was endless and the wind was strong again.
He said with a dark face, “Mr. Yip, don’t worry. I have to give you an explanation for this.”
Mr. Yip wiped away the bloodstains on his forehead. “Eldest nephew, my skin is tough and it doesn’t matter if I hit him a few times. This time, if he gets angry, he won’t come again. I have Rainie for me.”
Rainie felt very warm when she saw that her father had really changed into another person. The omnipotent father from when he was a child had returned.
“Dad, we’re closed. You go home. I can earn money to support you.”
“Silly girl, I have lost my head in the past few years. I am awake now. Last night, your mother told me to sleep with you and asked me to take good care of you. Don’t worry about you going to school.”
It was the so-called father-daughter love. Brucille did not enjoy such family joy in his previous life and present life.
But he knew that the Yellow Bridge would not let it go so easily.
So when he left, he called Morgan and asked him to investigate the Yellow Bridge.
Morgan asked his two brothers for help and finally found out who they were. He pointed to the abandoned factory in front and said, “This is their real home. This factory has been abandoned. I’ve been following them for two days. They pulled people here from the city with a bus. There will be a bus back in about two hours.”
“Okay, I know. I’ll go in and find someone to stay here. Have you called the police?”
“Yes, Brucille, I have already called the police according to your wishes. The police may come here in at least 25 minutes, so you have to be faster.”
