Chapter 15 Reckoning
Jiangli Village because of Jiang Xun, a model of fish leaping into the farm, once a little declining style of reading and entering the profession began to flourish again, the most typical is that the seventh uncle in the village sent his smart and clever grandson Jiang Youcai to the academy in the city with the strength of the family, waiting for him to be the champion of high school, and when the time comes, like Jiang Xun, riding a high-headed horse, returning to his hometown in fine clothes.
And the sensible ones sent their children to the clan school in the village, and the capable ones were sent to the town school. After all, the place where you study is different, and the difference between Shu Xiu and food expenses is still quite big. As an authentic farmer, it is better to see God's gift to eat, have an annual income, and to prevent three diseases and five disasters, and send children to school.
Jiang Youcai's cousin from the seventh uncle's family went to the city to study, and lived at his aunt's house, and he got along very well with his cousin, who was also studying in the academy, and once he came back, he also brought his cousin with him.
Jiang Youcai's cousin is called Wang Zongshui, who grew up in the city since he was a child, and he looks down on the countrymen very much, and he can't get along with his peers in the village. Jiang Youcai has to spend his brain every day thinking about where to take him to play.
But once Jiang Youcai took him to Jiang's house, he saw Jiang Quinoa who was helping to water in the vegetable garden, and when he heard that this was the eldest lady of Jiang Xun's family, this was a veritable official lady, and seeing that although Jiang Quinoa didn't like to talk, he always kept his head down, and he was quite beautiful, Wang Zongshui suddenly had a small abacus in his heart, and pestered Jiang Youcai to bring him to Jiang's house every day.
The access control of the Jiang family is not very strict, Jiang Youcai and Jiang Quinoa are serious cousins, even Jiang Xun is willing to be close to the people in the clan, of course Qingbo does not dare to stop Jiang Youcai from coming to the Jiang family, it is because Jiang Youcai and Wang Zongshui often go to the Jiang family to talk to Jiang Quinoa.
Jiang Quinoa doesn't go out often, and there are no close peers to talk to her, it is because Jiang Youcai told Wang Zongshui about the things in the city, it is like another world for her, where it is lively and prosperous, free and full of solemnity, which makes people yearn for it.
And Zhao Liang's gambling money was also heard from Wang Zongshui, Zhao Liang owed money in that life, Xingni did not come to Jiang's house for help, but Zhao Liang was still released in the end, but his arm and leg were broken, and he disappeared after being released, I heard that Xingni cried to death many times. It was three months before he reappeared in the limelight, and by that time he had already made a name for himself in the city. Jiang Youcai also once went to the bookstore with his classmates to buy books, and happened to meet Zhao Liang who came out of the gambling house on crutches. They have also played together since they were children, but later the two took different paths, so they became estranged, and now they meet again, Zhao Liang just won the money, so he invited Jiang Youcai to eat at a big restaurant in the city.
Although Zhao Liang described horror at this time, and his temperament was a little distorted because he was ridiculed because of his disability, his ability to gamble money has indeed grown. Jiang Youcai is studying in the city, and the children of rich families are all around him, and the most poor one is more generous than him, a poor boy from the countryside, because he borrowed some silver from his classmates, and also won a lot of money with Zhao Liang. Later, he also introduced Zhao Liang to his cousin Wang Zongshui, and even made Wang Zongshui profit a lot. It was Jiang Quinoa who heard them say a lot about Zhao Liang's gambling money.
When Xingni came to ask for help, Jiang Quinoa was still wondering if this Zhao Liang was the Zhao Liang she had heard of in her previous life, but thinking that many things could be right, she moved the idea of giving money to Zhao Liang to gamble.
If Jiang Quinoa was still doubting what opportunity Zhao Liang had gotten before, but now seeing that Zhao Liang was rescued by himself and could win with the gambling money he gave, he knew that it was really his luck.
In the first month, Zhao Liang took the money to the gambling house 26 times, won 24 times, and only lost twice.
In the second month, Zhao Liang took the money to the gambling house twenty-two times, won eighteen times, and lost four times.
As soon as the winter moon arrived, Jiang Quinoa took out all the money and wanted to settle the account for Zhao Liang.
After two months, Zhao Liang has changed a lot. In the past, he was always angry, and his whole person spoke with the energy of flattery and flattery. Jiang Tiezhu couldn't see him talking like this the most, he beat him twice, and he was honest, now he talks much better, even when he is flattering, it will not be as uncomfortable as before.
"Miss, do you think I'm doing something wrong? You say, I will change, I will change, I promise to change, just please don't ignore me. Zhao Liang also knew in his heart that since his grandfather passed away, no one has cared about him except Xingni. But Xingni cares about him but doesn't know how to help him, but Jiang Quinoa is different, she holds his life.
Jiang Quinoa asked the loyal and honest Jiang Tiezhu to walk with him, and outsiders saw that Jiang Tiezhu was the Jiang family, and they were somewhat polite to him. And Jiang Tiezhu's temperament is honest and admits death, so that he can't show his hard work.
Jiang Quinoa will let him gamble, but he will limit the time, will tell him when he can go and when he can't, and he listens to Jiang Quinoa, and he can win many times, which is what convinces Jiang Quinoa the most. Although he was always sad when he couldn't gamble at the beginning, he wanted to scold and hit people, but he liked the pleasure of winning, and he also liked the eyes of people when they looked at him. Now Jiang Quinoa wants to settle accounts with him, he thinks that because he has not performed well this month, Jiang Quinoa does not plan to cooperate with him. Yes, they are in a cooperative gambling relationship.
Seeing that he was like a great enemy, Jiang Qu was a little puzzled for a while, and explained: "You don't have anything bad to perform, it's just that we said at the beginning, for every one or two silver you win, you can take away a hundred copper plates." I haven't settled accounts with you before, and I only gave you one or two pieces of silver for your usual expenses, but now that the weather is getting colder, I'll settle the accounts for you, and you can take the money to repair the broken temple and buy some things to keep out the cold. ”
When Zhao Liang heard that this was the reason, he immediately put his mind at ease, and at the same time felt a warm current surging up his eyes, he tilted his head slightly, and forced back his tears. Jiang Quinoa's words reminded him of the winter when his grandfather died, when his grandfather had just been buried, and his uncle and aunt said that he was still young, and their family moved in with him to take care of him. At that time, he was left with only one relative, his uncle, and of course he wanted to be close to them, but who knew that his aunt would ask him where the deed was on the night he moved in. Before grandpa swallowed his breath, he was the most relieved, and told him to hide the deed, which was something he had made a living, and no one could give it to him.
He listened to his grandfather the most, and did not give the deed to his aunt, and every time he thought of the winter, his aunt drove him to the pigsty, and did not even give him a cotton jacket, and the next day he was drowsy, and if it wasn't for the uncle of the clan who didn't worry about coming to see him, he would have frozen to death at that time. Later, the uncle and aunt reluctantly moved away in the face of the pressure of the clan, and the uncle of the clan wanted to adopt him, but he was not happy to make all the bad things and refused, and in the end he was the only one who lived in the house left by his grandfather. Who knew that he was not angry, and in the end he even lost the ancestral house.
