Chapter 45 (5) The turbulent waves are undercurrent
For the guy Hua Sandao, Li Pearl is actually very satisfied with the observation of the store for a day. But if she wants this man to be her son-in-law, then Li Pearl feels a little reluctant.
And for this stepmother who suddenly appeared, in addition to being particularly curious, Sandao also has a lot of caution in his heart. If, as Zhang Feng said that day, let Li Pearl be the mother-in-law of Sandao, although Sandao felt good, he also felt so regretful.
This regret may be a little evil thought in his heart. After all, for beautiful people, I am afraid that many men will have the same intentions, and Sandao is naturally no exception. But he can only think about this kind of thought in his heart, not only can he not say it, but he can't express it to the outside world.
Although Li Pearl is only He Xiuxiu's stepmother, there is no blood relationship between the two. But after all, the two are still known as mother and daughter, if He Xiuxiu finds that she covets her stepmother, then Sandao really can't imagine what kind of expression He Xiuxiu would have at that time.
It was about six o'clock in the evening, when the three of them had just sat down to have dinner, and Shen Shou came. The man, who was once again yelled and scolded by his mother-in-law and left the house, vowed not to go home if he didn't get the money, once again walked into the Compassion Hall with his hands behind his back and a helpless face.
He sighed as if he had long been accustomed to it, but just as he was about to speak, he suddenly found Li Pearl in front of the table. At that moment, his expression was like an overturned cruet, and it looked complex and changeable.
In the end, Li Zhuzhu, who was sitting at the dining table, took the lead in speaking, "Are you ~ Xiuxiu's cousin?
Shen Shounian rolled his eyes, sighed and said, "It's not that you owe me money, it's been more than a year." You said you were going to give me this shop!"
"Oh, how much?"
"Eighty thousand!"
"Oh, it's okay, I'll give it to you!" Li Pearl said and turned her head to look at He Xiuxiu, "Go get it for your cousin!"
He Xiuxiu glanced at Li Pearl and said impatiently, "You won't go by yourself?"
"I've got to stay and check for you!"
"Do you still want you to check this store?" He Xiuxiu said and suddenly felt that Li Pearl's expression was slightly wrong, and the smile raised at the corner of her mouth obviously had a deep meaning in her opinion. So, He Xiuxiu immediately thought of the meaning of Li Pearl's words, and her face turned red at that moment.
"What are you talking nonsense!" she stood up shyly, and hurried out the door.
"Take 100,000 yuan to your cousin, you have to give her interest, and the password is your father's birthday!"
He Xiuxiu heard Li Pearl's shout coming from behind her, but she didn't stop, she just nodded, "Got it~"
Shen Shounian smiled at this time. She looked at Li Pearl blankly for a while, and then glanced at Sandao with some disdain, and then he said, "I just said that Pearl has the ability." It's all my mother-in-law, who is urging me to ask for it. Otherwise, I plan to keep this money for your investment!"
Li Pearl smiled lightly and did not reply, and Shen Shounian turned around and walked out of the door when he saw this. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned back to Li Pearl as if he remembered something, and said, "Pearl, has your memory improved?
Hearing this, Li Pearl smiled faintly, and two words gently floated out of her pink lips, "Macau!"
……
He Xiuxiu left for half an hour before returning. And in this half an hour, Li Pearl did not ask this and that to the three knives one after another. She just asked Sandao one question, 'Do you gamble?'
Sandao didn't know how to answer Li Pearl's question, because this was probably a criterion for Li Pearl to choose a son-in-law. Gambling is obviously a bad habit in the eyes of most people. Even, it's a crime. But Li Pearl herself is addicted to gambling, so this problem has become a little complicated in Sandao's opinion.
After pondering again and again, in the end, Sandao chose to answer truthfully, 'I know a little bit about one or two'.
His answer inexplicably aroused Li Pearl's interest. So, when He Xiuxiu came back from outside, what she saw was that Hua Sandao and Li Pearl were shaking dice on the dining table, and everyone had a full bottle of liquor in front of them.
"Come, three fives!"
"Four twos!"
"Four twos? You have four twos?"
He Xiuxiu heard such a shout when she entered the door. She couldn't believe it, but she sighed as if she were used to it. She looked at Li Pearl, who had rolled up her sleeves and was full of interest, and then looked at Hua Sandao, who was slightly embarrassed, and finally sat back at the table with a drooping face and a silent voice.
As soon as she saw He Xiuxiu coming back, Sandao immediately leaned into her ear and whispered, "Hey, your stepmother is really interesting!"
Truly. Sandao felt that he really couldn't figure out the woman in front of him. She looks noble, elegant, and charming. But in a trance, it will make people feel cold and fierce inexplicably. The most nonsense thing is that she doesn't care about the quality and temperament that a woman should have.
Her nobility and elegance seemed to exist only on the outside, and on the inside of her was like a frozen blade, faintly chilling. But what she showed was like a street gambler, or even that kind of playful gangster.
Sandao thinks he's seen a lot of women. But this is undoubtedly the first time she has seen it.
In fact, for gambling, Sandao is really half-understood. He was even more confused when he rolled the dice like this. I only remember that when I was about 15 years old, Sandao went to a bar a few times, and under the accompaniment of a bartender, he learned this so-called guessing and bragging.
Now that the cultivation has broken through to the refinement stage, the wind and grass within a radius of one mile cannot escape his perception, let alone the few dice that are close in front of him. But in order to win Li Pearl's favor, Sandao will naturally not 'kill them all'. But soon, Li Pearl seemed to have discovered the humility of the three swords.
She scolded three knives, the wine table has no size, and the casino has no father and son. So, this woman named Li Zhuzhu, who couldn't figure out the three knives, drank one and a half catties of liquor after losing to three knives and twenty-seven dice in a row, and finally fell drunk in the Minsheng Hall. Thunder can't move, artillery can't wake up.
He Xiuxiu looked at this man and woman, and felt angry and funny. After helping Li Pearl to the side, she said angrily to the three knives: "Don't you know to let her order?
"I let it!" Sandao said slightly aggrieved: "The key is that she won't let me!"
……
At more than seven o'clock in the evening, He Xiuxiu helped Li Pearl to leave the Minsheng Hall. Sandao had nothing to do, so he stayed. He naturally asked He Xiuxiu if he needed help, but He Xiuxiu rejected his kindness. This inevitably made Sandao a little disappointed, thinking that Sandao was actually willing to help He Xiuxiu help Li Zhuzhu, and even helped her all the way home.
After the two left, Sandao began to have some idleness. Business in the store is really not good today, and there are not many customers from morning to now. Sandao thought that if no customers came to the door, he would close the door and go home to rest.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a light footstep. In his perception, the footsteps should have come from outside the alley. Or a passerby who happened to pass by. But it was such an accident that attracted his attention.
"What a heavy yin qi!" he couldn't help muttering softly, his brow suddenly furrowed as if to tell of his incomparably bewildered moment.
"I can't perceive any cultivation, but I can clearly feel the strong yin qi~"
"There are only two possibilities. Or, this person's cultivation is far above me. Or, the person really doesn't have any cultivation. But why is there such a strong yin qi?"
"Could it be ~ another innate spirit body. And, already awakened?"
"Impossible! Innate spirits, not street cabbages. Besides, it is not easy to awaken the spirits!"
"Could it be a corpse! It can't be, this person clearly has signs of life. And from the sound of breathing and footsteps, nine times out of ten he is still a man. ”
"Tsk, if you take this yin qi as far as you go, if you cultivate to the yin exercises, it will definitely be like a fish in water. ”
"I really don't know if this person is good or evil!"
Under some muttering and speculation, Sandao immediately locked the door of the store and walked away quickly.
