Chapter 14: Questions
Holding a tael of silver given by Jiang Quinoa, Zhao Liang walked to the ruined temple outside the village where he temporarily lived a little depressed. In the past, he only remembered gambling money, gambling money, gambling money, and only worrying about where to get money to gamble every day, and the land left by his grandfather was barren and sold by him, and the family's old house was also sold by him to pay off gambling debts. The uncle knew that he had sold his ancestral home, chased him from the head of the village to the end of the village with a sickle, shouted that he would kill him, an unfilial son, and cut off the relationship with him the next day.
At that time, he still felt that his uncle was short-sighted, and he always thought that when he won a lot of money, he would return to his hometown in the same clothes as Master Jiang, so that those who looked down on him would regret it, and then rush up to please him. I must have been ridiculous at that time.
Zhao Liang remembered the days when the people who carried the gambling house were arrested, and the punches and feet that fell on him, and suddenly felt some pain in his body, and those pains had already entered the stocks.
"Brother Ryoko, you're back." Xingni, who was sitting on the threshold, looked at Zhao Liang and ran over happily, "I told Brother Zhuzi, Brother Liangzi, you are awesome today, you will come back after winning the money, and you are not greedy for gambling." ”
It turns out that he just left the casino a little earlier to make Apricy so happy, how much of a bastard was he before?
"Brother Liangzi is not a bastard, Brother Liangzi just has no one to teach." Xingni corrected with a straight face, "Brother Liangzi has no father and mother since he was a child, and his grandfather left early, uncle is not close to you, and no one teaches you, so you will embark on the crooked path of gambling money." The eldest lady said that you just got into a bad habit, not a mistake. It would be nice to know that you were wrong and correct it. ”
Thinking that Ryoko used to be mixed in the gambling house all day long, until he ran out of money and was kicked out. At that time, how many tears she shed, how many times she persuaded her, she didn't let Liangzi listen, the eldest lady gave money and set up a few rules so that he could come out of the gambling house so early, or the eldest lady had a way.
"Xingni, I was not good before, I will slowly quit this bad habit in the future, and when I repay the debts I owe outside, I will live a down-to-earth life, and I won't let you worry about it, do you think it's okay." Zhao Liang clenched his fists and said.
"Good, good, good." Xingni had tears in her eyes and nodded again and again.
The Jiang family, Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Tiezhu are also talking about what happened in the gambling house today.
"Zhao Liang is reluctant to leave after winning the money, I remember what the young lady said, you can leave if you win two or three taels of silver, if he doesn't leave, he will carry him out. On the way back, he kept scolding, and what he said was unsightly, who knew that he didn't say a word when he came back. It seems that Zhao Liang has probably offended Jiang Tiezhu today, so that he can't help but complain because of his good temper.
"Brother Tiezhu, Zhao Liang has been gambling in the gambling house for a long time, and the people inside probably know him. The gambling house will not let people win the money for no reason, and you will still have to bother you to follow Zhao Liang in the future, if he talks again, you will directly beat him, so that he can teach him a long lesson. Jiang Qu said.
With this, Jiang Tiezhu was a lot more relieved. He was already old, if he wasn't worried that Zhao Liang would be of great use, he wouldn't be polite on the way back today. Now that Jiang Quinoa said this, he also has a score in his heart. But he didn't want to, when he saw Zhao Liang again the next day, he was polite to himself as if he had changed someone, and sincerely apologized and apologized, but it made him scratch his head for a while, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in Zhao Liang's gourd.
In the next few days, Zhao Liang's performance was much better. Let him gamble in the morning, he will go in the morning, as long as Jiang Tiezhu says that he wants to come back, no matter how good his luck is, no matter how greedy he is, he will still obediently follow back. Let him go in the afternoon, he will not be in a mood, and he will follow Jiang Tiezhu around the field in his free time.
Xingni saw every little change in his eyes, with a smile on her face every day, although the family was still not optimistic about Brother Liangzi, but she suddenly felt hopeful.
Jiang Chun also paid close attention to Zhao Liang at the same time, and even made a notebook to record every time Zhao Liang gambled money, and he was curious to ask Jiang Quinoa at the moment.
"Although Zhao Liang used to gamble and won and lost, he was famous for losing nine out of ten bets, but why did he win more after you gave him money to gamble? It is not said that every bet must win, but nine out of ten bets are certain. Why is that? ”
Jiang Quinoa put down the needle and thread in her hand, took her bookkeeping book, walked to the table and took the pen and began to count, and finally put down the pen in amazement, "It's only been a month's work, Zhao Liang has won so much money, and the money really comes quickly." ”
Jiang Chun saw that her eyes were shining, and she forgot her purpose at the moment, snatched the account book, and said viciously: "Don't drag Zhao Liang out of the quagmire, and finally indulge in it." You are an eldest lady, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, how can you think about gambling and making money in your mind. It's a side door, you forgot. ”
Jiang Quinoa looked at her as if she was facing a great enemy, and soothed: "I'm just sighing, where can I really indulge in it, you see that Zhao Liang's experience is still there." I want money for a big purpose, and you'll find out about that later. As for the gambling book I gave Zhao Liang, first, I felt sorry for Xingni and wanted to help them, and second, the way I knew to get money quickly was this gamble. But we don't know, there just happened to be a Zhao Liang, so we looked for him. ”
Although Jiang Chun didn't know what Jiang Quinoa was asking for money for, he thought about what he had seen and heard since he came to the Jiang family, and he also knew that although Jiang Quinoa was the eldest lady of the Jiang family, she didn't have to worry about food and clothing, but she didn't have a penny in her hand, she didn't have a good handkerchief to hand, and she didn't have her parents by her side.
"But, how do you know what Zhao Liang can win if he bets?" This is the reason why Jiang Chun is curious, because Zhao Liang has often won money in gambling recently, even Liao Xiucai and Aunt Rong were moved, and they each invested a tael of silver into it, and they also made a little money. Jiang Chun's mother hates people eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling the most, because Jiang Chun doesn't dare to make money with her, but she still has doubts in her heart.
"Heh," Jiang Qu chuckled lightly and said with a smile: "How do I know when he will win, and I'm not a god operator." I'm also going to try my luck, you see if you remember the account book, no matter how much money I won the day before, I only gave Zhao Liang five taels of silver at most at a time, this is only twice, and the others are given to him by one or two, two or two, and three taels, and I am afraid that I will lose money. Thinking that if he gives less, he will lose less, but if he wins, he earns. ”
Seeing that Jiang Chun seemed to be persuaded, Jiang Quinoa breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he was also a little apologetic. She didn't actually bet on luck as she said, but she did know that in the recent period, Zhao Liang was very lucky, and she would win every time she gambled. Although I don't know that Zhao Liang is not as mysterious as the rumors outside, and occasionally loses, I think that everyone will always unconsciously exaggerate the rumors, and maybe the rumors she heard in the past are also exaggerated. And she was able to know this, thanks to her other cousin, Jiang Youcai.
