The world begins with shameless people

On the South Side of Chicago, the days pass by one after another.

A week passed in a flash.

That morning, Lip took the light rail, carrying a large black garbage bag containing his luggage, and it took him about an hour to get back to North Wallace Street.

Although only half a year has passed, a lot of changes have taken place in North Wallace Street.

As Lip walked and looked around, he didn't like this change very much. He felt that after this, the South District was no longer the South District.

Fxxking Dingxiu!

Lip cursed silently.

After a while, we arrived at Carl's house.

Lip had no habit of knocking on the door, so he just reached out and opened it.

As a result, the door was locked.

This surprised Lip a little. After all, the Gallagher family had no habit of locking the door.

dong dong dong~~

The door was locked, so Lip had to raise his hand and knock on the door, "Liam!"

There was no one in the house. Carl took Liam out to play, and Fiona was working at the burger shop at this time of day.

no respond.

This was very embarrassing. After struggling for so long, he decided to come back, but no one was at home and he didn't have the key, so he couldn't even get into the house.

Faced with this fact, Lip was speechless. He took out a cigarette, lit it, took two puffs, looked at the window, thought about it, and felt that it was not a good idea to just climb in through the window. Fiona would probably nag him later... He had no choice but to take out his cell phone and call Liam.

Lip didn't know whether Carl had come back or not.

After waiting for a while, the call was connected.

"Hello?" Liam's slightly childish voice sounded.

"Liam, it's me, Lip," Lip said, blowing out a puff of smoke, "Are you not home?"

“No,” Liam responded simply, “Karl took me out to play.”

"Carl is back? Then let Carl answer the phone," Liam is still young and it is difficult to communicate with him, Lip said.

“Okay,” Liam responded without hesitation, handing the phone to Carl beside him, “Lip called.”

Karl didn’t have so many messy thoughts. He had no feelings or opinions about the separation between Lip and the Gallagher family. He took the phone and greeted enthusiastically with a smile, “Lip.”

Feeling the enthusiasm in Karl's tone, Lip smiled subconsciously, "Karl, when did you come back?"

"About a week," Carl replied.

Lip has always liked Karl. He started chatting with Karl while smoking. After chatting for a while, he got to the point. "I'm back too. I'm at your door now, but I can't get in. Where are you?"

"Ah?" Carl was surprised. "You should have said it earlier... But we are on the Michigan Lake side now, which is a bit far away. Otherwise, you can find a way to get in by yourself. The window should be open."

Carl is a simple-minded person, and he took this proposal very seriously.

Lip knew this clearly and was sure that Carl meant no other meaning by saying this. "Okay, then have fun."

"Well, see you tonight," Carl replied.

Lip hung up the phone without saying anything else. Then he threw away his cigarette, moved quickly, and started climbing out the window.

As a Gallagher, Lip is very skilled at climbing windows.

In the blink of an eye, Lip's upper body entered the house.

At this time, Debbie, who was carrying Franny on her back, passed by. When she saw this scene, she subconsciously thought that there was a thief so rampant that he tried to steal things by breaking through the window in broad daylight.

"Hey! Who are you?" Debbie hated Fiona, but this house belonged to Carl, and everything inside also belonged to Carl. Debbie no longer had any hatred for Carl's simple-minded brother, so she immediately shouted, "I'm calling the police!!!"

Lip, whose upper body was inside the house, immediately recognized Debbie's voice and responded immediately, "Debbie, don't call the police, it's me."

Debbie recognized Lip's voice and was confused. "Lip?"

"Yeah," Lip responded, speeding up. In a blink of an eye, he entered the house, stood up, and smiled at Debbie, "Debbie."

"What are you doing?" Debbie hated the bitch Fiona the most.

As for Lip...well, during the dark time after Franny was born, Debbie hated Lip for not wanting to help.

Now, after so much time had passed, Franny had become easier to take care of.

Debbie couldn't say she liked Lip, but she didn't hate him much either.

"Carl and Liam are not at home. I don't have the key. Wait a minute." Lip walked quickly to the door, opened it, and walked a few steps to Debbie. He looked at Debbie and Franny and said, "Where are you going?"

This is a very good question.

Debbie's plan to find a husband to support her and her daughter had long since failed. In the past period of time, she had mainly relied on the unpalatable food she received for free and some money supplemented by Ian.

But we can't keep living like this...

Debbie decided to take a risk and use the same trick again, taking Franny to beg and go to a farther place... If there was a better opportunity, she would naturally seize it.

"Go find some money, we have to live," Debbie replied.

Hearing this, Lip immediately thought of his indifference over the past year and felt a little guilty, so he quickly took money out of his pocket.

Lip has been working in the school cafeteria. Although he doesn't have much money and drinking also costs money, he has saved up some money after saving up.

Not much, just over two hundred dollars in total.

"Here's to you," Lip pulled out two hundred dollars and handed it to Debbie, "Are you okay?"

Debbie is a very stubborn woman.

Lip disappeared for such a long time. He didn't show up when the mother and daughter needed help the most. Now, he wants money?

"No, keep it for yourself." Although Debbie was extremely short of money, she refused without hesitation, "We are fine."

After a pause, Debbie added, "I have to go. I'll see you sometime."

As soon as she finished speaking, Debbie walked away.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Lip was smart and knew that Debbie said that because she was angry. He hesitated for a moment and chased after her, "Debbie..."

Debbie kept moving, with a clear determination on her fat face, "Lip, since you have chosen to cut off ties with us, then stick to it and don't change your mind."

"Franny and I are fine. We don't need your help."

Debbie kept going.

Lip didn't chase him.

the reason is simple.

Debbie was right. Since she had decided to cut ties with the Gallaghers, what was the point of giving them money?

Lip felt mixed emotions as he watched Debbie walk away.

*******************

Frank and Monica, as parents, have somewhat different attitudes towards their children.

Frank basically really doesn't care. He just wants to be free and do whatever he wants. The world is big, and happiness is the most important thing.

Monica is different.

Monica also wants to be free and happy, but when her children are around, she still instinctively wants to take good care of them.

then.

Watching Debbie dying and having no money left, Monica thought about it for days, or rather, planned for many days. This morning, she made a decision to get some money for Debbie so that she could live a better life and not have to work so hard.

Monica has what she thinks is a pretty good plan.

However, this plan cannot be carried out by one person alone and requires the cooperation of two people.

"Frank!" After Debbie and Frannie left the house, Monica couldn't wait to wake Frank up and said seriously, "We have to help Debbie. She can't go on like this."

Frank hadn't gotten enough sleep yet. After hearing this, he turned over very simply, closed his eyes, and replied casually, "Don't worry about her. She won't starve to death."

"Frank! I'm serious," Monica shouted, making up her mind and giving Frank a hard shove.

"Jesus!" Frank wanted to sleep but couldn't. He was annoyed. He opened his eyes suddenly and shouted unhappily, "Can't we talk about it later? I'm so sleepy! I want to sleep!"

"No!" Monica said firmly, "Don't sleep, listen to me!"

Frank and Monica, when things are good, they are really good.

At present, the two are still in good condition.

Therefore, despite being annoyed, Frank scratched his hair, gritted his teeth and sat up, "Okay, you go ahead."

Monica grinned happily, "We're going to make money like we did before, but this time, we're going to make a big one."

What does money mean? It means exclusive tasting, it means wine. Frank was still very interested. He immediately perked up a little and his eyes turned. "We go kidnap Ding Xiu? That guy is super rich! I have had this idea for a long time!"

Monica didn't think so, but when she heard what Frank said, her eyes lit up immediately, "Do you think it's possible?"

Seeing Monica's interest, Frank almost completely sobered up in an instant, and replied very seriously, "I think it can be done! In fact, I have been thinking about it for a long time. Let's do this..."

Frank explained in detail the plan he had thought of earlier, "But, it won't work just with the two of us. We need to find some tough guys."

Hear this.

Monica lost some interest, pondered it silently, and shook her head, "Forget it, it's too much trouble. I just want to get some money to help Debbie."

"Listen to my plan."

Frank was very disappointed when he heard this, but because he loved Monica very much, he didn't say much, "Okay, tell me, if it doesn't work, we can talk about the plan of kidnapping Ding Xiu."
