CHAPTER 789: CHAPTER 774: WRONGED

"Mom, Dad! Did our family go bankrupt?"

Qin Xi asked seriously. The only thing that could cause panic for her parents seemed to be bankruptcy.

What else could it be?

Initially, the sisters thought their father had relapsed into bad habits, but they combed through every possibility and saw no signs of that.

A father who always surrounds them right after work couldn’t possibly have time to gamble.

The only thing that could trouble their parents seemed to be this.

So naturally, the sisters asked.

Jiang Xin was taken aback, and Qin Dazhuang’s mouth was wide open.

Seeing their parents’ expressions, the sisters became more convinced they had guessed correctly.

"Mom, Dad, are we in a lot of debt?"

Qin Xi speculated, otherwise why would their parents look like this?

Qin Meng thought hard, "Mom, Dad, I can set up a stall after school. I never told you, but I actually have been selling things at a stall near the school. The income is pretty good, over a thousand yuan a month. I’ve saved up about thirty thousand yuan over three years of middle school, so I can help you repay some debts."

Qin Xi also chimed in.

"Mom, Dad, don’t worry. We are almost grown up. I can definitely get into a good university, and I can earn money to cover my living expenses while studying, and even save up for my sister’s tuition.

Mom and Dad can go back to what we did before. Mom can be a seamstress, and Dad can sell pancakes. We don’t have to worry about any issues of pride. We can live well. Let’s work together to pay off the debt. Don’t worry, Mom and Dad! We can handle this shock even if it means selling this house.

We can buy a small house and use the leftover money to repay debts. If it still isn’t enough, I can set up a stall in college and help you."

Jiang Xin and Qin Dazhuang were both amused and touched.

Though their children had guessed something, it was far removed from what they were about to reveal.

But the fact that their kids had such thoughts, thinking of ways to help pay off debts, touched them deeply.

Furthermore, at such a young age, their children already had business ideas, like little Qin Meng secretly doing business over the three years of middle school.

It was hard to tell if they were really competent parents or perhaps not.

Their hearts were warm and bittersweet.

"Mom, Dad, whatever happens at home, don’t worry. Your daughters have grown up and can help you. We’re not helpless kids anymore; we can do so much now."

The two daughters were sincere.

Qin Dazhuang and Jiang Xin burst into hearty laughter.

Their laughter left the two kids a bit puzzled.

Qin Xi and Qin Meng looked at their parents with concern, thinking, Oh no, they’ve been hit so hard they’re acting odd.

Qin Xi and Qin Meng went over, each embracing a parent.

"Mom, don’t worry, really. We’ve grown up and can help you with everything. As long as we’re together as a family, there’s no hardship we can’t face."

Jiang Xin laughed, touching her belly, nodding repeatedly, "Children, you’re wonderful."

Qin Dazhuang laughed so hard he couldn’t stand straight.

"Dad, calm down, don’t be like this. You had nothing before and still rebounded. This is nothing; we can get through it."

Qin Dazhuang nodded repeatedly.

"Ladi, I know, I know."

"That’s good. Mom, Dad, we will..."

Qin Xi and Qin Meng were about to make a solemn pledge.

"But this isn’t the issue we need to address."

Jiang Xiao looked at her daughters with a smile. Her young daughters had already grown, so graceful, and they had inherited the couple’s best traits, looking truly like flowers bringing joy.

But what was more captivating about them wasn’t their appearance; it was their resilience, something uncommon among kids.

They possessed maturity and composure beyond their age.

Now seeing their daughters support and encourage them like this, Jiang Xin and her husband were warmed to the point of tears.

This is what family is.

"Not this matter? Is there something else?"

Qin Xi paused, suspiciously turning her head to look at her father.

Qin Meng placed her hands on her hips, glaring at Qin Dazhuang.

Qin Dazhuang felt a bit uneasy under their gaze.

How could he feel so sheepish?

He hadn’t done anything to feel guilty.

What was this about?

"Ladi, Zhaodi, don’t look at me like that, it’s creepy!"

"Dad, you’re calling us Zhaodi and Ladi again! Haven’t we told you not to use those names?"

Qin Meng complained.

Those names were grating to the ear.

Just because their dad hoped for a son.

It’s obvious to anyone.

"Alright, alright, Xixi, Mengmeng, is this better?"

Qin Dazhuang surrendered instantly. When facing his daughters, he had no choice but to comply.

"Dad, be honest, what terrible thing have you done?"

Seeing the two daughters encircle him aggressively, they looked ready to roll up their sleeves.

"What are you up to? I’m... I’m your dad. You can’t possibly want to turn me in, can you?"

Frightened, Qin Dazhuang clung to the back of the sofa. Being scared like this by his daughters was unprecedented.

Qin Dazhuang, who wasn’t very literate, suddenly felt quite cultured.

"Dad, you sound quite cultured. You even know the saying ’turning in family for justice.’ This idiom is tailor-made for you. Are you gambling again? Have you lost the family fortune? I’m telling you, if you keep gambling, don’t blame us for doing exactly that."

"Mom! Hurry up and divorce Dad, and take us away. Even if we don’t have a cent, we’ll stay with you. We won’t follow that gambling dad. So he won’t sell us for cash after losing."

Qin Dazhuang burst out laughing in exasperation.

"You really are your mother’s true daughters. Look, you’re already instigating her to divorce me."

Qin Dazhuang looked resentfully at Jiang Xin.

Jiang Xin laughed heartily, "Your dad is being wronged, he hasn’t done anything bad!"

It was satisfying to see her husband in such a situation.

Qin Xi and Qin Meng finally realized their parents were playing some kind of prank.

"Mom, what do you and Dad want to tell us? Just say it instead of making us guess. We’ve worried ourselves sick over what you want to say."

Jiang Xin touched her belly; whether it was fortune or misfortune, she couldn’t avoid it. They’d have to face this eventually, curious about the kids’ reaction to the new little life.

"Your dad’s good deed."

Jiang Xin still found it hard to speak up.

"Let me say it then, you’ll find out sooner or later. Your mom is pregnant."

Qin Dazhuang confessed, nervously looking at his daughters.

The daughters’ eyes widened.

Their mom was pregnant?
