Mother Xu's life is far more difficult than she told me, in addition to the load-bearing walls in the house, there are really not many things left, which can be described as the four walls of the house. br />

Even the things left in the house are all in tatters, and Xu's mother said that they are all given by the people who come to collect debts.

As soon as I entered, I tried to hide the surprise and discomfort that this home had brought me, but she was still aware of it, and she was embarrassed to know where to ask me to sit.

In my opinion, the root of this family's problems lies in the middle-aged man, who is Xu's mother's current husband.

As for the torn pants, the little kid is young and vigorous, and after a few years, the arrogance will be worn out by the disagreement of the mother-in-law who has no money, no job, no house, and no daughter-in-law, and it will not be a problem.

He Shen saw this very thoroughly, and the old man often advised me: "It's useless to fight for that breath, it's better to make some money if you have that idle effort." ”

After mortgaging the house and spending more than two months of economic tension, my sense of identity with this sentence was like a surging river, and later, the saying He Shen was brilliantly summarized by Cao Cao as "people are poor and short-minded", and was summarized by Huang Chao as "no money, can you stop for a while and don't make fools".

I think they're right.

As soon as they entered the house, the two of them were sleeping, one of them went to the nightclub last night to close, and went to the Internet café to play games until 9 o'clock in the morning before arriving home, this time they slept soundly, and the other because of gambling debts to stomp on the limelight, but did not dare to leave the house at night, but the habit of living day and night made him open his eyes and roll over the pancakes all night, and he fell asleep not long ago.

A two-bedroom house, one large and one small bedroom, the two of them occupy one room, the living room is empty, and there is no place to sit except for the bed.

I waved my hand at Mama Xu, who was full of apologies, lit a cigarette and said, "It's okay, I'll stand for a while." ”

Xu's mother went into the master bedroom to call her husband up, she called him several times "Master Kong", listening to this title, eighty percent of Xu Xiaoman and her stepfather like the taste of braised beef.

After a few minutes, Master Kong walked out of the master bedroom with a scolding curse, and when he saw me, he said, "Did you bring the money?"

I hurriedly took two steps back.

It's not that I'm afraid that he will get up too angry and beat people up if he doesn't agree with him, but the smell of cheap cigarettes that has been fermented overnight in his mouth is too **, like a poison gas bomb, and I am afraid that our side has died before the negotiations are over.

I quickly handed him a cigarette and prayed to suppress the smell.

The man hung the cigarette on his ear, scooped up a glass canned cup from the ground, connected most of the glass of water directly to the water pipe, drank it with a clatter, and then lit the cigarette and smoked it, and when he took the first puff, he squinted comfortably.

Mother Xu introduced to me: "This is my husband, Kang Shifu, you just call Uncle Kang." ”

I stood 3 steps away from Master Kong and asked, "How much do you owe?"

"You don't care. His eyes rolled around and he looked into the pocket of my jeans, "I only care about your 100,000 yuan? ”

"Brought, I can give you 100,000 yuan, or, I'll help you pay off all your gambling debts, which one do you choose?"

I am sure that the attraction of the latter is far greater than that of the former, and on the way here, Mama Xu gave me a thorough explanation: Master Kong owes at least 500,000 yuan outside, and this is only what she knows.

Master Kong is not stupid, after smoking a cigarette, he stretched out his hand and asked me for another one, "With 100,000 yuan, I can turn over the book, and I don't need you to repay the debt." ”

Mother Xu said angrily: "If you don't always think about turning the book, can you owe 500,000 yuan?!"

These words obviously had a little effect, Master Kong lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked, "Why did you help me repay my debts? Are you so good?"

"Of course, there are conditions. "I'm not ambiguous," you have to promise never to gamble again. ”

He looked at me like a fool, pointed at Xu's mother and smiled: "Don't gamble? You ask her, how many times have I promised her? I want to be able to quit gambling, quit early, it's not your turn to shout at me without any hair." ”

I directly ignored his taunts, looked into his eyes and said, "So, you want to quit gambling, but you can't control yourself." ”

"Is there a difference?" he looked at me mockingly.

"Absolutely. I still stared into his eyes: "If you don't want to quit, I just cut off your hand, and you can gamble with a prosthetic leg, what can I do? ”

He dodged my gaze until I said, "Of course," and then he briefly looked at me with a hint of longing and confusion in his eyes.

"What if I want to quit?" he asked, a little timidly, but without a mocking attitude.

"If you want to quit, I'll help you quit, and wherever you go in the future, I'll let you go out of business. "I was convinced.

Master Kong just opened a crack in the door of his heart and closed it again with a "bang", not only closing, but also several thigh-thick latches.

"Hahaha...... Wife, do you see, your son-in-law ran away to our house to brag b! The cowhide is blown!"

I glanced at the room where I slept with my torn pants, "City Lights, your son should have been." ”

"Hahaha...... I don't care if he's urban or rural!" Master Kong laughed and sat on the ground.

I ignored him and continued: "I am the major shareholder there, I don't know what to say, go and inquire with your son, and we will talk about it after inquiring clearly." Oh, by the way, if you go there to play, just tell the foreman Zhou Papi that you are the stepfather of the proprietress Xu Xiaoman, and it is estimated that he will not charge you money. ”

He obviously knew City Lights, the biggest nightclub in a small third-tier city, and even if he hadn't been there, he had seen it all the time.

So, when I said this in all seriousness, and with the attitude of not being afraid of his verification, he wavered.

"Are you really ......?" he looked at me for a while, and looked at Mama Xu for a while, and Mama Xu nodded and didn't speak.

"Where did you lose? Ask the person in charge of the underground casino out and say that the boss of City Light wants to block a few big games, and people like me, they are happy to agree. ”

Master Kong's emotions were mixed with doubts and confusion, but there was also a sense of impatience, and the conditions I proposed were like fat bait placed on the shore, and the fish in the water had to jump ashore if they wanted to eat the bait.

I believe, however, that when he leaps ashore and escapes the bitter waters of gambling, he will find that he is not a fish at all, but a turtle, and a land tortoise.

Seeing that he hesitated, I simply did it to the end, and continued: "If you need it, I can help you find a stable job at City Light, of course, provided that you quit gambling completely. ”

"Why are you helping me?"

"Because Xu Xiaoman is my wife. ”

This has a triple meaning, first, Xu's mother is my mother-in-law, I am helping you for Xu's mother's sake; second, I don't like people to bully my wife; third, I can offend my wife for the person who opened an underground casino, of course, I don't mind offending him, a stepfather who is not allowed to see, so it is useless to threaten me.

Master Kong didn't react much, and Mother Xu cried, pulling me while crying: "I'm ...... to Xiaoman." What a sin...... I didn't expect it...... Will you help me...... I have enjoyed your blessings. ”

I patted her, "Have a good life, and the days of happiness are ahead." ”
