Chapter 13: What to Learn

Jiang Chun felt that this matter was also a bad fate.

When Xingni was seven years old, it was the season of rice planting, and after she finished beating the rice line, she went to the river to wash the mud on her feet, so that she could go home to cook. At that time, the adults were busy working in the fields, and the embankment near the river was so high that no one noticed it for a while

It happened that Zhao Liang took the cow to the river to drink, and when he saw the clothes floating here, he went into the water and pulled two handfuls, the first one fell short, and the second one pulled Xingni's clothes and lifted her up.

On the shore, Xingni had already fainted, and in her dim consciousness she realized that it was a teenager not much older than her who had saved her.

Zhao Liang picked up Xingni, but saw that she was unconscious, so he hurriedly picked her up and ran to the barefoot doctor's house in the village. Lying on the young man's somewhat weak shoulders along the way, Xingni felt very relieved, and the ridge she walked through that year was the shortest and most worth remembering in her memory.

Xingni had choked on a few mouthfuls of water and was nothing serious, but after a day at home, she was alive again.

Xingni's father and mother were grateful to Zhao Liang for saving Xingni, and brought some eggs and pulled two feet of cloth to Zhao Liang's house. Grandpa Zhao Liang liked it when he saw Xingni, and thought that Zhao Liang's father and mother left early, so it was better to set a family affair for him as soon as possible, so that he could be more down-to-earth, so he vaguely mentioned it.

There was already a life-saving grace, and Grandpa Zhao Liang mentioned it vaguely, faintly it meant to ask, not to repay the favor, which made Xingni's father and mother not refuse for a while, and only shirked the fact that the child was still young. didn't say that death left room for death, and everyone knew about it, so they waited for Zhao Liang and Xingni to grow up and settle down. Who knew that Zhao Liang hadn't grown up yet, his grandfather left first, and the marriage was put on hold.

In the past few years, Zhao Liang has become more and more mixed, and he has also contracted the vice of gambling money, losing all the things in the family, and his only uncle has also cut off relations with him.

But Xingni has long been concerned about Zhao Liang, and because the two families have also talked about marriage earlier, she has been waiting to marry Zhao Liang when she grows up, but now there has been a change, seeing that their marriage is no longer possible, how can she not be in a hurry? The river lantern was put on Qixi Festival, and her wish was to hope that Zhao Liang could change his evil ways and return to the right, stop gambling money, and live with her steadfastly. Who knew that her lantern sank shortly after it went down the river, and when she came back that night she cried all night.

Now Zhao Liang gave a promise, which made her very happy, but he still had to gamble, which made her a little sad for a while, and she had all kinds of feelings in her heart, and it was very difficult to live every day.

Here, Zhao Liang is also anxious every day. He waited for Jiang Quinoa's gambling money here every day to turn over the book, but Jiang Quinoa just didn't give him money, and he didn't let go of his mouth when he would let him gamble money, and he hung his appetite and made him sleep and eat every day. Since his injuries healed, he went to Jiang's house early every day, often dangling at the door of Jiang Quinoa's courtyard, provoking Sister Lotus to take a broom to drive him away, but he grabbed the broom in Sister Lotus's hand and chased Jiang Quinoa to sweep the floor, Jiang Quinoa was in his own yard, he went to the yard to sweep, Jiang Quinoa went to the study, he cleaned the study, Jiang Quinoa learned needlework, he touched and swept there on the side, and Wang Li was dissatisfied.

After hanging Zhao Liang's appetite for three or four days, Jiang Quinoa finally talked to him this day.

"Well, here is a tael of silver, you go and try your hand today, if your luck is good, I will give you the remaining four taels of silver." Jiang Quinoa motioned for Jiang Chun to give the silver to Zhao Liang.

Jiang Chun's face was full of displeasure, and he dragged forward, staring at Zhao Liang with a deep brow, and took out a tael of silver from his purse and handed it over.

Zhao Liang took the silver, resisted the urge to put it to his mouth and took a bite, smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyes, and flattered Jiang Quinoa's words as if he didn't want money.

"Don't talk about what you have or don't, you just need to remember the conditions I put forward to you before." Jiang Quinoa said and took out a piece of paper and slapped it on the table, "Your deed of sale has been signed, if you don't keep your promises, I will let Qingbo go to the yamen to prepare a case, and then you won't be able to run away even if you roll up the silver, can you remember?" ”

When Zhao Liang saw the piece of paper, most of his excitement to get the silver suddenly disappeared, he drooped his head, and said weakly: "Got it, eldest miss." ”

"Go find Brother Tiezhu, you two go early and come back early, don't be greedy, don't be lazy." Jiang Quinoa finally told Zhao Liang and let Zhao Liang go.

Seeing that Zhao Liang heard that he could gamble and seemed to come back to life, Jiang Chun felt uncomfortable, "Miss, you gave him the money, isn't this a meat bun beating a dog." You still asked the master to borrow it, what if he doesn't come out to see you by then? ”

Although Jiang Quinoa looked very sure, she was actually very uncertain in her heart, not to mention that the money was borrowed by Wang Li's family, and she was afraid that there would really be no return. Although Qingbo and Aunt Rong treated her very well, her father couldn't manage her far away in the capital, and he gave her enough freedom, but she had nothing in her hands, no money and no connections, so even if she wanted to do anything, she had to report to Qingbo first, and let him send a letter to the capital to do it.

After dying once, she realized that some things still had to be held in her hands. If she wasn't helpless, how could those people dare to execute her so easily?

After Zhao Liang and Jiang Tiezhu left, Jiang Chun was a little uneasy, and even went to class frequently, and Liao Xiucai, who provoked her, looked at her several times dissatisfied, and finally saw that Jiang Qu's mind was not on reading, so he had to sigh and leave school half an hour early.

At noon, Jiang Quinoa didn't have the heart to eat, so he barely ate two bites, and was about to take a nap, when he heard Zhao Liang's voice from outside the hospital.

Jiang Chun was cleaning up the table, and when he heard that they were back, he threw things and ran out, Jiang Qu was also very anxious, but as soon as he heard the joyful voice outside, he knew that Zhao Liang must have won money today.

"Miss, you don't know how good my luck is today, what to bet and win. Oh, I took the silver, of course, I Zhao Liang also have to use some heart, I exchanged the silver for copper plates, and only bet on ten copper plates at a time, although I won, but the money is slow. Later, I thought about what the young lady said, if you want to be able to calculate the gambling money, you have to trust your intuition, and I finally bet all the money, and Brother Zhu still doesn't agree, do you think I won? If you still gamble one by one, I don't know when you will win so much money. At the end, Zhao Liang became a little proud. It wasn't the most he'd ever won since he gambled, but it was the most he'd ever gotten back. used to gamble money, but when he won, he was reluctant to leave, always thinking about winning more, but in the end he was driven out in vain.

"I did win a lot today, so let me ask you, what did you learn from gambling today?" Jiang asked Quino.

Zhao Liang looked strange, "What did you learn?" Hey, what can you learn by gambling money? ”

Jiang Qu looked at Jiang Tiezhu and asked, "What do you say?" ”

"I don't know what I've learned, but I remember what my young lady said, 'Don't be greedy, don't be lazy', and I felt that if I won the money, I quickly withdrew my hand, and I didn't want to win more. I saw with my own eyes a man who gambled with two hundred taels of silver, and in the end he lost nothing, and went to the people in the gambling house to borrow money. I knew that I could not borrow money from the gambling house just by listening to the money, but the man lost his eyes and borrowed a hundred taels of silver at once. As we went, the man had lost all the hundred taels he had borrowed. Jiang Tiezhu felt terrifying just thinking about it, but those people were addicted to it, and he really couldn't understand it.
