Seeing that my husband's eyes were filled with remorse, I stopped him again and said, “After the New Year, our daughter has to pay tuition and our father also needs surgery. Even if we go to work overnight, it will not solve the problem at all.”
My husband's face suddenly turned pale and he regretted his decision even more. He opened his lips but did not know what to say to me.
I smiled and said, “So, listen to me, take the 150 dollars and go find the guy you played cards with last night. I'll go with you.”
When I brought my distraught husband to his friend, Isaac Gonzales, he was still playing Poker with a group of people.
Seeing my husband, Isaac immediately put on a proud smile, “Loren, you still want to play today? Come on, we are just short of one person.”
Isaac and my husband, Loren Franklin, were elementary school classmates. He dropped out of school in middle school and went to work outside.
But he soon got tired and went home. He spent his days idling around in his hometown and could not get married.
