Chapter 1172 The Demonic Old Man
"The winner is an old man."
“Guess what he did after he won the lottery?”
"I should have told you this, right?"
Zhang Bo looked at Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao lived up to his expectations. "He married a woman who was more than 30 years younger than him."
"Yes, the old man is over sixty years old and married a woman in her early thirties."
Zhang Bo couldn't help but lower his voice a few notches.
At this time, most people in the classroom had left. When the sound was heard, it was as if there was an echo effect in the empty classroom, which really scared Zhang Bo at first.
"The woman was a widow, and she had a child of five or six years old with her."
"At the time, my uncle and his friends all said that the woman was attracted by the old man's money."
"I also advised the old man."
"The old man refused to listen and insisted on marrying the woman."
……
"Does the old man have a wife?"
Zhao Lu was frowning.
"Isn't this a drama about a wife being divorced after having been through so much with her husband?"
Zhuge Yun curled the corner of his mouth.
"No."
Zhang Bo shook his head. "The old man's wife died a long time ago."
"What about the child?"
Zhao Luzheng was a little puzzled. "I think generally speaking, the old man's children would not agree to this marriage, right?"
"The old man's child died earlier."
Zhang Bo shook his head. "According to my uncle, the old man's relationship with his wife was strained because of the death of their child."
"Their child died in a car accident."
"At the time, the child's mother went out to buy groceries, and the old man was looking after the child."
"But the old man was so engrossed in watching people playing cards on the side of the road that he didn't notice the child, and the child walked into the street."
"He was hit by a speeding car."
"There was blood all over the floor."
"Dead on the spot."
"The child's mother almost went crazy when she came back from shopping and learned that her child had an accident."
"The old man feels extremely guilty."
"A grown man cried when he saw the dead body of a child."
……
"The old man didn't mean it."
"But the child did have an accident due to his negligence."
"Later, although the couple did not divorce, their relationship became very cold."
"My uncle and the others all said that if the child's mother hadn't passed away early, they might have divorced the old man."
"The child's mother died of illness."
"He was a healthy person, but suddenly he got seriously ill."
"I spent all my family savings and even owed a lot of debts, but in the end, I couldn't save my life."
……
"The old man has been single since his wife died."
"He has no ideas, his family is broke, and he has foreign debts."
“In fact, even if you want to find it, you can’t find it.”
……
"So two years ago, the old man won the lottery, and everyone understood that he wanted to get married, but the person he married was too young."
"How could such a young girl really like an old man?"
……
"Maybe the old man knows this, too."
Zhuge Yun leaned back, "But he just likes the company of young girls, right?"
"Just think of it as spending money to buy happiness."
"Boss, these are just the same old things. Don't you have anything new?"
Everyone has their own choice.
Many people disagree with the old man's approach.
But, as long as the old man likes it, why not?
After all, his choice did not hurt anyone. Whether the final result was good or bad, he would bear it himself.
……
"Of course."
Zhang Bo glanced at Zhuge Yun and said, "Isn't this just a brief summary of the situation?"
He sat up a little straighter, "Here comes the point."
"The old man is sick."
"sick?"
Zhao Luzheng asked cooperatively.
"Ah."
Zhang Bo nodded, "It's still a very serious illness."
"The old man was already old, and this illness made him collapse all of a sudden."
"Well, he's sick."
"and then?"
It’s not that Zhuge Yun has no sympathy, it’s just that birth, aging, sickness and death are happening in every corner of the world every day. If it’s not someone he cares about, how can he care about every single person?
"No hurries?"
Zhang Bo glared at Zhuge Yun and said, "The key point is at the end."
"Boss, you just hit the point."
Zhao Luzheng couldn't help but say.
"I know, I know."
Zhang Bo was a little annoyed, "Really? You all have no patience at all."
"Look at the third one."
"How can you be so impetuous!"
Zhuge Yun:
Zhao Luzheng:
The expressions of the two people made Zhang Bo satisfied.
He continued where he had left off, "The old man is dying."
“Everyone is very sad.”
"The old man had just won the lottery jackpot two years ago and married a young wife. His life was going well, but his life was coming to an abrupt end."
"So at the beginning everyone understood the old man's refusal to give up."
"The old man saw many doctors and went to many places."
"Finally, when I returned home, I could only wait to die."
"The old man is unwilling to accept this."
"He started praying to the gods."
"Especially after he knew his young wife was pregnant, his desire to survive became even stronger."
"Pregnant?"
Zhuge Yun muttered softly.
Zhang Bo heard it with his sharp ears, "Yes, many people actually think that the child may not be the old man's."
"But the old man was almost at the end of his life and he seemed so happy, so no one said anything in front of him."
"But maybe because of this child, the old man is a little bit possessed."
"Demon barrier?"
Zhao Lu was muttering.
"Ah."
Zhang Bo couldn't help but sigh when he thought of what his uncle had said on the phone before, "There have always been monks, Taoist priests and other so-called masters coming in and out of the old man's house."
"The old man also took a lot of the panacea they gave him."
"Later, the old man even said that he saw a thousand-year-old sacred turtle. If he could catch the sacred turtle and eat its meat, all his illnesses would be cured and he would live a long life."
"No one believed what the old man said."
"Where is the thousand-year-old tortoise?"
"And the old man said that the divine turtle he saw had a flaming red head and a huge body, almost as big as two millstones."
"Let alone the unrealistic body shape, the flaming red head alone makes everyone think that the old man is talking nonsense."
"But the old man wouldn't listen to anyone's advice and insisted on catching the sacred turtle."
"Everyone says that the old man is getting old and confused and his mind is not clear anymore."
"Maybe it was those miraculous drugs that caused his health problems."
"After all, we are all outsiders. Seeing that persuasion is ineffective, we will not say anything more."
"Moreover, some young people are willing to accompany the old man to the sea to catch the non-existent turtle under the high remuneration provided by the old man."
"For them, it's just a pretense, mainly to please the elderly, and they can earn a lot of money, so why not do it?"
