Chapter 40: Worry-free

Of course, Veronica and Kevin are only the temporary guardians of the Lip family, and after Fiona meets the requirements, the custody of the siblings will be transferred to her.

Originally, Veronica and Kevin didn't quite meet the requirements of being the guardians of Lipp.

However, in the United States, the transfer of custody is more voluntary, and in all voluntary cases, the child rights monitoring agencies and the government are reluctant to do much.

For the child rights watchdog and the government, which have too many issues to deal with, more is better than less.

After this matter was done, the stone that pressed on Lipu's heart was finally able to land.

Although it cost $6,000 for this, it completely solved Frank's hidden danger, and for Lip, this deal was too worthwhile!

After paying the $6,000, the Gallagher siblings had no legal relationship with Frank.

Frank voluntarily gave up the custody of the Lip and the others, which can be regarded as severing the father-son relationship with the Lip and the others!

When Debbie and Carl first learned about this situation, they still didn't understand Lip's approach, thinking that he was a little unkind, but Frank took the initiative to persuade him, so he didn't let Debbie and Carl get emotional and make trouble at the notary.

Lip didn't explain to Debbie and Caldo, and I'm sure they'll thank Lip for his foresight in the future.

Although custody has been transferred, the Gallagher siblings still live in the Gallagher House and do not cause any other trouble for Veronica and Kevin.

The Gallagher House is now legally owned by Aunt Gingey, and the Gallagher family is only temporarily occupied.

Although the Social Security fraud investigator has temporarily fooled Aunt Jinji's affairs, this can be regarded as a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the Gallagher siblings.

Although even if this matter is exposed, it is Frank's top tank, and now that the custody of the Lip family has been transferred from his hands to the names of Veronica and Kevin, even if Frank is arrested and put in prison, the Lip family no longer has to worry about being entrusted by the child rights monitoring agency and sent to a foster home.

However, by that time, the Gallagher siblings will be homeless.

So, Lip next has to solve the problem of the house.

The matter was not in a hurry, and Lip had time to plan slowly.

However, Lip and Fiona and Ian first dug up and disposed of Aunt Gingey's body, which was buried in the yard by Frank.

According to the development of the plot, in a few months, the city of Chicago will renovate the sewage pipes throughout the city, and the yard of the Gallagher House is located on the pipe line, which will be dug up at that time.

If you don't dispose of Aunt Jinji's body as soon as possible, you will have to panic when the time comes.

After these things were done, Lip, Ian and others ushered in the winter vacation.

The winter vacation of American high schools is generally arranged from mid-December to early January - during this period, there are Christmas, the most important in Western countries, and New Year's Day - about two to three weeks, and the specific holiday arrangements are controlled by the schools themselves.

The public high school in the slum where Lip attends, as long as there is a holiday, is implemented according to the maximum standard set by the government, so as to reduce the time of students in school as much as possible, and to a certain extent, to avoid students from committing problems in school.

During this holiday season, Lipto Jim Zhao brought a batch of cheap Chinese goods from Chinatown and sold them in the neighborhood, making a lot of money, and the money earned made the Gallagher family have a much richer Christmas than in previous years.

Debbie, Carl, and Liam received Christmas gifts in the true sense of the word for the first time.

During this period, it was not without worries, and Fiona's work has not been completed.

At the end of 2010, Chicago had not completely escaped from the economic crisis, the social unemployment rate was very high, and Fiona, who dropped out of high school, did not find it easy to find a satisfactory job.

Lip didn't rush her.

After the custody issue was settled, Lip had no worries, and he didn't care much about whether Fiona would be able to take custody from Veronica and Kevin.

In Lip's eyes, Veronica and Kevin are relatively more reliable than Fiona!

Fiona herself is not in a hurry, after Lip's great help, the support courage on her shoulders has been reduced a lot, and with Jimmy, a happy boyfriend, Fiona feels a rare comfort.

A bit addicted.

Over the years, the sense of responsibility that has become a habit has not made Fiona too indulgent, and it is not good to find a stable job for a while, and the odd jobs have not stopped, and the monthly income is still quite stable.

During this period, Frank also wanted to be a demon, because he was unconscious after an alcoholism and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, and the volunteers who were selected to do the alcohol withdrawal experiment could get a reward of 3,000 dollars if they could not drink for the next two weeks!

For the sake of money, Frank can do anything!

Frank, who has been drinking alcohol since he was twelve years old and has been drinking for nearly forty years, has long been addicted to alcohol, and for the sake of the $3,000 bonus, he decides to quit drinking in the next two weeks!

When he proudly announced the decision in front of the Gallagher siblings, Lip leaned over and asked, "Oh, you're not under the doctor's nose, how do they know you're keeping your promise?"

Fracla lifted his trousers and showed the monitoring ankle ring strapped to his ankle like Lip, "This ankle bracelet can monitor the alcohol level in my body in real time, even if I only take a sip of beer, it can detect it, and then alert the doctor!"

"What if the wine spills on this ankle ring?" asked Lip as he pulled a bottle of beer out of the fridge and opened it.

"It's going to be alarming too, so I'm going to be careful to protect it for the next two weeks and not get a little bit of alcohol!" Frank swore assimilation.

"Oh?" Seeing Frank's smug appearance, Lip tilted the bottle in his hand with lightning speed, and poured half a bottle of beer on the monitor ankle ring.

Sure enough, as Frank said, alcohol was detected, and the green light turned red.

"What the fack?" Frank was shocked, looking at Lip in disbelief.

Lip pouted, "I'm just letting what is inevitable happen, happening in advance! You won't really believe that you can quit the bar for two weeks!"

It's only been two hours since he put on this ankle bracelet, and Frank has endured two hours of torment, and when he saw Lip drinking just now, he was already foaming wildly.
