Chapter 50: Things Exposed
When Wen Xifu heard this, the expression on his face was light, and he no longer had a trace of brotherly affection for Wen Qingfu in his heart, and looked at Wen Qingfu as if he were looking at a stranger.
"Don't work big brother to waste your heart, I think it's good to go up the mountain to chop wood, I'm stupid and can't say good things, so as not to offend the owner when I get it."
Wen Desheng originally heard Wen Xifu's refusal and was about to get angry, but after listening to it, he felt that what Wen Xifu said was reasonable, and persuaded Wen Qingfu: "Don't waste that thought, he is clumsy, if you offend the owner, what if you have no work, let him chop wood at home, and the family also needs firewood." ”
Since Wen Xifu went up the mountain to chop wood, the kang in the upper room of the family has not been broken.
Seeing that things were developing differently than he thought, Wen Qingfu began to feel anxious, tomorrow was the deadline, and he would have his hands and feet broken if he didn't pay the money.
Wen Qingfu thought in his heart, he sold Wen Xin and Wen Le first, paid back some of them first, and then left a little to turn over the book, he didn't believe that he would be so unlucky.
The first few times he lost money, Wen Qingfu thought that he had too little money, if he had a few hundred taels of luck in his hand, he would definitely not lose, and how could he win money in the end.
Wen Qingfu told his family that he was about to increase his salary, and they would be able to live a good life soon, except for those who knew the inside story, everyone else was very happy.
Wen Desheng was even more eager to beat gongs and drums to go door-to-door to inform, for fear that others would not know that Wen Qingfu was capable.
Liu Ying likes to go out and around during this time, and when she meets people, she says that Wen Qingfu is good, and some people in the village know what Wen Qingfu does, and they look down on it, but they think that even the Wang family with a background is afraid of the Wen family.
Wen Qingfu didn't say anything about the money he owed in the room, and the word face made Wen Qingfu want to tell the truth, but he was afraid to tell the truth.
Out of the room, Wen Xin hurriedly pulled Wen Le and followed the second uncle to the mountain to chop wood, Chen Tao was even more afraid that Wen Qingfu would secretly make a mistake, so he called several children, and also made Wen Di dissatisfied, thinking that Wen Xin was talking nonsense in front of her mother, so she asked them to go out to work.
Wen Qingfu went out thinking about taking Wen Xin and Wen Le to the city to sell, but when he went out, he couldn't even see a figure at home, and when he inquired, he knew that they had all gone to the mountains to chop wood.
Thinking that he had to pay back a little money today anyway, otherwise the people at the casino would definitely not let him go.
Wen Qingfu walked around the courtyard, seeing that the clerk was sitting at the threshold with nothing to do, thinking that he would sell the clerk first, pay back a little first, and then leave a little to gamble, maybe he would have gambling luck today.
"Shu'er, go to the city with your father, and your father will introduce you to a job, and you will definitely be able to eat and wear without worrying in the future." Wen Qingfu dragged his injured leg and walked to the clerk step by step, with a happy smile on his face.
It is rare for the clerk to see his father so happy, and as long as he thinks that he will be the same as his father, he will have a salary of a few taels of silver a month, and he is suddenly so happy that he can't find the north, and happily follows Wen Qingfu into the city.
When Wen Xin came back in the evening, he carefully found that the document was missing, Wen Qingfu's face became even more difficult to see, he and his grandfather said that the clerk had found a good job, and in order to better keep this job, he would have to live in the owner in the future.
Zhang Hong didn't know that the document had been taken by Wen Qingfu to sell, and she was very happy that the document had found a job, and she was still thinking about letting Wen Qingfu get Wen Sheng in.
Today, Wen Qingfu went to the casino with the five taels of silver that he sold Wen Sheng, and when he heard the familiar shout, he didn't hold back and bet on it, and he was really lucky at first, and he won more than 20 taels at once.
Wen Qingfu felt that there was gambling luck today, maybe he could gamble back all the money he owed, so he bet all the silver, and he did win some at first, and he was very happy, but then he slowly lost, not only lost all the money, but he also borrowed fifty taels from the casino, plus the three hundred taels last time, he owed a total of three hundred and fifty taels of gambling debts.
The people in the casino didn't beat him today, but said that they would definitely try to kill him if they didn't pay the money tomorrow.
Wen Qingfu didn't close his eyes for a night, and he kept thinking about how to repay the money, but after a night, he still didn't think of any way.
In the morning, Wen Xin pulled Wen Le and did not allow Wen Le to leave her one meter away, for fear that Wen Qingfu would hit Wen Le with his idea.
Knowing that today was the day to repay the money, Wen Xifu did not go to the mountain to chop firewood again, saying that he was tired and wanted to rest at home for a day, which also made Wen Desheng unhappy, thinking that Wen Xifu was trying to be lazy.
"You say what you have to do, look at your eldest brother, you work hard all day long, and you still have a salary of two taels of silver a month, you are looking at you, there is no product, you can't even compare to your eldest brother's toe, and you are really blind for decades."
After breakfast, Wen Desheng scolded in the courtyard, he thought that Wen Xifu was because he signed the separation document yesterday, and now he feels that his wings are stiff, so he doesn't want to listen to him.
Wen Desheng thought that he should teach Wen Xifu a good lesson, and he couldn't let him out of his control.
Wen Xifu sat on the threshold and watched Wen Desheng scold him, and wanted to stand up and yell at Wen Desheng more than once, that is, the good son you raised owed three hundred taels of gambling debts outside.
Approaching noon, Wen Qingfu finally couldn't bear the pressure in his heart, quietly packed his things, took all the money Wen Desheng hid and left through the back door.
Wen Xin kept an eye on Wen Le, but didn't realize that Wen Qingfu had packed up his things and left.
The countrymen usually do not close their doors during the day, and at noon a few tall and fierce men came into the courtyard, and without saying anything, they kicked the things in the courtyard into a mess.
Wen Xin and the others knew what was going on, and they were not very surprised, Wen Desheng and Liu Ying were stunned when they saw the people coming.
"A few strong men, why are you doing this?" Wen Desheng didn't dare to step forward when he saw the fierce appearance of the person who came, so he stood in place and asked, suspecting in his heart that the Wang family was looking for someone to trouble them.
"It's natural to repay debts, we won't say much about this old man, tell Wen Qingfu to come out, it's time to pay us back today, otherwise we won't be able to explain to the owner, don't you say."
Wen Desheng, who heard this, was confused, and asked in a daze. "My son owes you money, how is this possible, how can my son owe you money."
Hearing this, several people in the courtyard laughed, and the leader said coldly: "Wen Qingfu doesn't owe me silver, but owes us the silver of the casino, although we are people from the casino, but we do everything according to the law, this is Wen Qingfu's arrears, you see, three hundred and fifty taels, if you pay back the money today, we have nothing to do, and we will say sorry to you, if you don't pay back the money, you can only tear your face." ”
After speaking, the leader handed the bill to Wen Desheng, Wen Desheng trembled and took it, he didn't know a single word, and he didn't believe that Wen Qingfu would owe money to the casino.
