When Ol 'Five heard that Orchid had come out from his house, he knew it would only make him look about the same age as him. If it wasn't for something big, he definitely wouldn't have come out of his house, so he listened quietly.

Orchid's family lived in Orchid Gap. When he was born, he was born into a girl, so his father didn't think much of him. Therefore, he just randomly married a girl.

Orchid Valley was located about fifty kilometers north of Green Spirit Mountain, and it was also a poor place.

The people who lived in the village all year round did not produce much. It was just a few acres of land. Plus, when they were free, they would go to the mountain to walk on some ferns, wood ears and other things in exchange for money.

Although their lives were a bit bitter, the people still stayed at home. No matter how nice it was outside, they still didn't want to go.

Since Orchid's father only had Orchid as his daughter, he felt that he didn't have any problems, so he drank all day long, eventually becoming a real alcoholic.

Mother Orchid had been working hard for a long time and was angry at Lanhua's Father.

Orchid inside and outside the housekeeping, and also take care of the father who was addicted to alcohol, hard work needless to say.

When Orchid was sixteen, the village chief's son took a fancy to him. The village chief found the Lanhua's Father and told him about it.

Although Lanhua's Father was drinking, he knew that the Village Chief did not have good intentions. The Village Chief's son was a fool, with his own daughter being so pretty, if she really married a Village Head's idiot, wouldn't that destroy her entire life?

Lanhua's Father flatly refused, and said: "My lady is still young, let's talk about it in the future."

The Village Chief was extremely angry that he was pushed out by the Lanhua's Father, but he did not say anything back then.

After returning home, he called over Second Young Master from the village.

Second Fool was a gambler and an alcoholic. This was also the reason why the village head called Second Fool over.

The Second Fool walked into the courtyard and saw that the village head had an extremely ugly expression. He asked, "Leader, who dares to provoke you?"

"Ma Le Gou, Lanhua's Father doesn't care about face at all." The Village Head cursed with a darkened face.

Second Fool was a bit confused and asked, "That old fellow only knows how to drink all day, how did he offend you?"

The village narrated what had happened, then looked at Second Fool and said, "Like this, you will find Lanhua's Father tonight to drink. In the future, you will bring him along to gamble. I don't need to hand over the rest to you, right?"

Second Fool laughed and said, "Village, shouldn't we give some rewards?"

The village chief thought for a moment and said, "Didn't you fall for the plot of land north of the village? I gave it to you for free."

The Second Fool passed a cigarette to the Village Head and said, "Ou!"

After Lanhua's Father pouted the village chief, he was so angry that his hands began to tremble. He lit up a cigarette and smoked in the courtyard.

The Village Head had always kept his word, he definitely would not go back so easily, there might be a next step.

His girl was definitely not at home, but he was worried about where she was going.

Although they had relatives, they had no relatives these days without money. Ever since his wife died, those relatives had all disappeared.

Even though he didn't like girls back then, now that he thought about it, if it wasn't for the fact that she had been working hard for the past few years, he might have died a long time ago.

Lanhua's Father felt his nose sour. He had previously let down this lady, but this time, he could not let her down no matter what.

Just as the old man was deep in thought, a person walked in from the door. He squinted his eyes for a long time before realizing that it was Second Fool.

"Uncle, I do. Let's go drink." Second fool knew that the Lanhua's Father was willing to listen to him.

Lanhua's Father was initially unhappy but when he heard about drinking, he forgot about his daughter's matter.

Following Second Fool Li to his house, Second Fool was very cordial. He cooked four dishes, took out two bottles of good spirits, and the two of them started drinking.

After drinking three cups of wine, Lanhua's Father started to curse the village chief and the ancestors' three generations of scolding.

The Second Fool pretended not to know as he comforted her on the side.

The two of them drank from noon all the way until dusk. Lanhua's Father was already drunk, and could not even walk smoothly.

He pulled Lanhua's Father and said: "Uncle, don't worry about that. Go out and play for a bit, maybe you will earn some money and spend it."

Taking advantage of the alcohol, Lanhua's Father felt a bit of itch in his heart, but he didn't have any money on him, so he felt a little embarrassed.

"It's okay," said Second Fool. "Orchid doesn't know. If you don't have any money, I'll bring you some."

As he said that, he took out two thousand yuan and stuffed it into Lanhua's Father's hands.

Lanhua's Father looked at the money in his hands, thinking that he should take this gamble today.

Arriving at the casino, there were quite a number of people. Some of them knew each other, while others didn't. For some reason, these people were extremely enthusiastic today. This one was called uncle, that one was called uncle, and directly pulled Lanhua's Father to a seat.

Everyone was giving their nine tokens. Lanhua's Father did not bet directly, but watched from the side for a long time. He felt that the Heaven Gate was not bad, thus he made up his mind, took out five hundred yuan and bet it all on the Heaven Gate.

After the money left his hands, Lanhua's Father's heart was beating erratically. Five hundred yuan was the cost of a family meal for a month.

When the cards opened, Lanhua's Father won. He counted the money, and saw that it was over two thousand.

The Lanhua's Father was overjoyed. He returned the money to the fool and stood up to leave.

"Uncle, it would be a bit of a loss if we didn't play a few games with such good luck," said Second Fool.

Lanhua's Father hesitated for a while, but felt that it was true too. Just as he was hesitating, the other party opened up his cards again.

Lanhua's Father thought for a moment, then placed all the money he had on the Heaven Gate. He stared at the Zhuang family and said, "Open."

Lanhua's Father won again, nearly four thousand.

The old man felt a bit dizzy. This money came too easily. If he came back like this again, it would be around 20,000 yuan. When he returned home, he would take the girl and run away.

He handed over a cigarette and said: "Uncle, what are you hesitating for? I'm so envious of such good luck, if not, I can give you money, you can bet two on me."

Lanhua's Father did not say anything. He stroked the money in his hands. Nearly six thousand yuan was all bet on the Heaven Gate.

When the gates of heaven were opened, it looked like his luck had turned for the better. That was it.

After Lanhua's Father pressed down the money, he sat to the side with his eyes red. He looked like a wild wolf who had not seen food for a long time, with his saliva left on the table.

"There's still room for pressure, hurry up." The dealer said.

A few more people put down the money and waited for the dealer to open it.

After losing the Gate of Heaven, Lanhua's Father felt dizzy.

Lanhua's Father wished that he could beat himself to death.
