“Daddy… mommy seems to be unhappy.” Wanwan looked up at Jiang Bei’s flustered face and said suddenly, “What’s wrong?”
“I am fine.” Jiang Bei squatted down and gently held Wanwan in his arms as he sat down on the chair.
“But you didn’t anger mommy, you earned so much money.” Wanwan looked at the money in Jiang Bei’s hands and said in confusion.
“Daddy is useless.”Jiang Bei shook his head.
Xu Xinrong was not willing to listen to his explanation. He understood that she had heard enough of it for so many years, or rather, she had been lied to enough by him.
She thought that speaking to him was a waste of breath.
If it were not for the fact that no one could take care of Wanwan on Children’s Day, Xu Xinrong would not have given her daughter to him.
“No! Daddy is superman, my hero!” Wanwan suddenly shouted, “You are not useless! You have promised, right?”
“Yes… I have promised you, I will keep it,” Jiang Bei gently stroked Wanwan’s hair and replied in a low voice.
He looked at his daughter’s small face and her thin and weak body.
Facing a broken family, a heartbroken wife, and a malnourished daughter, in just two days, Jiang Bei’s heart was already filled with holes, but he knew that all of this was because of him!
This was his fault!
Jiang Bei slowly raised his head, not letting his tears fall. He was a man. No matter how difficult it was, he could not fall.
He had to support the child in his arms and the woman in the house.
“Wanwan, tomorrow is Children’s Day. I will take you to the public park,”Jiang Bei said softly.
“Then you don’t have to earn money?” Wanwan raised her head and looked at Jiang Bei with some hesitation.
Although she was very young, she also understood that every time her parents quarreled, it was because of money.
In the next few days, her father had to think of ways to earn money. If he earned money, they would not quarrel anymore.
Although she really wanted to go to the park, she did not want her father stop earning money because of her.
“It’s okay, Wanwan. Tomorrow, you will go to the public park with me to earn money, okay?” Jiang Bei asked with a bit of shame.
He had to earn 50,000 yuan worth of gambling debt. He could not sell the house, and he would not let his family fall apart!
But even the promise to take Wanwan to the park for Children’s Day had to involve earning money.
“Okay!” Wanwan agreed readily. “I am old enough to help you earn money!”
“Wanwan is the best.” Jiang Bei laughed softly. He stroked his daughter’s hair and didn’t say anything. He hugged his daughter gently, hiding his eyes that were filled with guilt.
…
The next morning.
Jiang Bei left home early on his trishaw. He went to the fish market to buy the baby koi fish and fish tank that he had ordered the day before.
Then, he went to the park to pay the rent for the day. Only then did he rush home to pick Wanwan up.
Xu Xinrong had already prepared breakfast. When Jiang Bei entered the house, she immediately left without saying a word.
She didn’t even have the mood to listen to Jiang Bei’s fake promise.
After these few days, everything would be over.
Jiang Bei looked at Xu Xinrong’s back as she left. He wanted to say something but hesitated. He shook his head and didn’t stop her. He wanted to do it first and then tell her the results!
After eating breakfast with Wanwan and helping her get dressed, the father and daughter finally left home.
Jiang Bei was riding a trishaw and carrying Wanwan, while Wanwan was standing on the passenger seat at the back, hugging Jiang Bei’s waist.
When the father and daughter arrived at the park, it was only eight o’clock in the morning, but there were already quite a lot of people in the park.
They were mostly parents who brought their children over to play. There were children whose age ranged from one to ten.
Their faces were filled with smiles, and so was Wanwan’s.
“Daddy, there are so many people,” Wanwan said excitedly as she was held in Jiang Bei’s arms.
“Because today is Children’s Day. It’s a holiday for children like you.”
“Then I don’t want to celebrate Children’s Day anymore. I am not a child anymore,” Wanwan suddenly shook her head and said.
“You…” Jiang Bei gently pinched Wanwan’s little nose, which made her laugh again.
“Daddy, where are we going to earn money now?”
“Go to the front. I have prepared everything.”
“I am ready too!”
Jiang Bei opened the small door of the stall, took out a stool, divided the fish tank, and put up a sign. Business was open.
“Fishing Game”
“Daddy, are we going to sell fish? What beautiful little fish,” Wanwan squatted in front of the small fish tank and said excitedly.
She wanted to reach out and touch the little fish, but she was too timid to go forward.
Jiang Bei used a fishing net made of sticky rice paper and handed it to Wanwan. “Try it. USe this to catch the fish. If you catch it, it’s yours.”
“What… Then you won’t be able to make money,” Wanwan pouted, but she still tried it excitedly.
A moment later, Wanwan stood up with a sad face and said, “Daddy, the net broke! Not a single one was caught!”
Not long after, people gradually surrounded the area.
This new type of game was extremely attractive to children, especially those colorful small koi fish, which were very eye-catching.
“Daddy! I want this!”
“Mommy, look at these fish. They’re so beautiful! I want them!”
Most of the children who passed by would shout, and most of the parents would give them what they wanted.
Compared to riding a bumper car, the game would end in three minutes for 10 yuan. The kind of thing that could be brought home and had some sentimental value was why the adults were willing to spend money on it.
Especially this kind of small fish. If it could grow to become an adult fish, it would be even more meaningful.
…
At the same moment.

Third Brother, who had been lying in the hospital for three days, could finally be discharged today.
There was still a thick bandage on his arm. Once the anesthetic had passed, he would grimace in pain if he moved even a little.
His hatred for Jiang Bei also enveloped him for three whole days.
After all, this was a wound that needed more than thirty stitches!
“Find out where Jiang Bei went. I am out of the hospital today. It’s his turn to stay for a month.” Third Brother said with a sinister smile..
