"At a young age, he said the words of an adult, didn't he tell your aunt in the morning, maybe he won't come back in two or three days? You girl, Xiao Yi is an adult, adults have their own things, and they can't always take you with them. Your uncle is out, and when he comes back, he will buy you new cloth and good food. Hurry up and come in! ”
Yue Shan'er walked out and grabbed Ruoruo's arm. Ruoruo pouted, reluctantly followed back and sat on a chair, Yue Mochou walked out of the kitchen, saw Ruoruo's appearance, smiled slightly, in fact, she was also a little worried about She Yi. It's just that my sister Yue Shan is here, so I'm embarrassed to show it.
At this time, Dong Bicheng, who was wearing a white shirt, walked in from the door, carrying a small box in his hand. His expression was a little gloomy, and after entering the door, he walked straight to Yue Shan'er.
"Ruoruo, see that your uncle is back, he has brought you something to eat."
After Yue Shan'er saw Dong Bicheng, her brows furrowed, she walked over, took the box in his hand, put it on the table, and said to Ruo Ruo with a smile.
Ruoruo looked up listlessly at Dong Bicheng and sighed.
"Auntie, uncle, you picked the color of this dress......
"yes, it's pretty? ……”
Yue Shan smiled, with a smug expression on her face.
"You dressed your uncle in such white clothes, because you were worried that others would not recognize him at night...... Ahem...... It's good-looking...... I'm speechless for you......"
Ruoruo made a grimace, and the fashionable word "speechless" was also learned from She Yi...... Yue Mochou and Yue Shan'er were about to be angry, but after seeing Ruoruo's grimace, they sneered and laughed......
Yue Shan'er put the lunch box in front of Ruoruo and opened it, and there were more than a dozen skewers of roast mutton in the lunch box, and the roast mutton was still steaming.
"You little girl, make fun of your uncle......"
After Yue Shan'er finished speaking, she felt that her husband's expression was a little strange. Ruoruo and Yue Mochou both noticed it, and looked at Dong Bicheng in confusion.
"Uncle, are you angry? I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously. ”
If it was a smart child, he hesitated for a moment and smiled.
Dong Bicheng was stunned for a moment and came back to his senses.
"Oh, it's okay, Uncle didn't blame you. The box contains grilled lamb skewers, which are still hot, so let's eat them quickly. Sister, Shan'er, the soy milk fritters in the morning are delicious, are there any? We had an early meal......
When he speaks, it gives people a strange feeling, like a mismatch......
"It's going to happen, what's wrong......"
Yue Shan'er's brows furrowed, and her face fell. After hesitating for a moment, I remembered that in the morning, I saw Wang Dashun in the restaurant in front of me looking outside, and there was an ominous omen in my heart.
"You have to look for that Wang Dashun!"
"I, I don't have ......"
Dong Bicheng lowered his head, his eyes flickering.
"Don't say it yet!"
Yue Shan'er was stunned, and slapped her palm on the table. Dong Bicheng was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.
"Shan...... Shan'er, I'm wrong......"
Dong Bicheng covered his head with his hands and didn't dare to move.
Ruoruo stood up, walked to Yue Mochou's side, and grabbed her mother's hand, a little nervous. Yue Mochou glanced at Yue Shan'er and then at Dong Bicheng, pulled a table over, and sat opposite Dong Bicheng's table.
"Bicheng, tell my sister, what's going on?"
Dong Bicheng just lowered his head and didn't speak.
"Shan'er, tell my sister what's going on."
Yue Mochou looked at his sister standing in front of the table. Yue Shan'er's eyes closed tightly, slowly opened, and tears flowed out. wiped away his tears with his sleeve, took a stool and put it beside Yue Mochou, sat down, and began to speak.
……
It turns out that this Dong Bicheng seems to be honest, but he has a bad hobby, that is, gambling.
Regarding the previous relationship between the Dong family and the Yue family, Yue Mochou also knew. Dong Biwei is an honest man who has always lived in the countryside. Father Dong Bingshan and Yue Shan'er's father Yue He has a very good relationship, since the hometown flooded that year, father Yue He was drowned in order to save Yue Shan's sister and brother and his mother, Yue Shan's mother promised Yue Shan to Dong Bingshan's only son Dong Bicheng.
Dong Bingshan was in business and earned some property in Luoyang, Yue Shan'er and Dong Bicheng married in the countryside when she was sixteen years old, and the two followed her mother-in-law to Luoyang.
Yue Mochou didn't know what happened after that, so he could only listen to his sister.
Two years ago, after the death of Dong Bingshan and his wife, Dong Bicheng and Yue Shan'er used Dong Bingshan's property to open a restaurant. At the beginning, the restaurant business was very good, and the young couple also saved a lot of money. Later, Dong Bicheng got acquainted with Wang Dashun, who opened a restaurant on the same street, and it didn't take long for Dong Bicheng to learn to gamble. Sometimes taking advantage of Yue Shan'er's inattention, she secretly went to the casino to gamble.
In less than a few months, the property left by my father was squandered. and borrowed usury, and in the end, Yue Shan'er sold all her gold and silver jewelry to repay the interest on the debt, and Dong Bicheng swore to quit gambling and Wang Dashun no longer correspond. The two worked hard for two years to pay off the loan shark.
A while ago, the southern district was engaged in construction, and the restaurant was going to be demolished, and the government compensated some silver taels. The husband and wife came to this northern district and prepared to open another restaurant, because the northern district is a commercial area, the land is expensive, the rent is expensive, and the silver is insufficient, so the two of them bought this small restaurant (note, the restaurant in the Northern Song Dynasty refers to a small canteen and a small restaurant). Because of the fierce competition, their small restaurant business is light, but it can barely get by. But a while ago, Yue Shan'er found that the silver was suddenly a lot less, and after a strict investigation of Dong Bicheng, she learned that Wang Dashun also opened a restaurant near here, and her husband Dong Bicheng had a relationship with him again, and the two went to the casino, and the silver was lost by her husband.
She was extremely angry, and she and her husband had to fight hard, and her husband finally reluctantly told her that he saw that his restaurant was not doing well, and wanted to gamble and make some money to open a restaurant...... Yue Shan'er also understood her husband's hardship, and her husband Dong Bicheng swore that he would never go to the casino again or associate with Wang Dashun again, so Yue Shan'er gave up.
Today, she gave her husband Dong Bicheng some silver taels, and asked him to go out and buy some cloth for her sister Yue Mochou and Ruoruo to make two sets of clothes, and by the way, she bought some food for Ruoruo to come back.
After going out early and coming back now, Yue Shan'er had an ominous omen in her heart, just now Dong Bicheng came back without a cloth in his hand, only holding a small wooden box kebab. In addition, Wang Dashun was looking outside in the morning, and she suddenly guessed that her husband Dong Bicheng must have gone gambling again.
……
Yue Shan'er cried while telling her sister, and after finishing speaking, she almost cried, and sighed in her heart, fortunately, there was not much silver for her husband Dong Bicheng in the morning, even if he lost all, it was not much. As long as he really knows that he is wrong, he will not go to Wang Dashun to gamble in the future, and forgive him this time.
The first floor was quiet, Dong Bicheng buried his head, didn't say a word, and let Yue Shan'er count it. Yue Shan'er rubbed her red and swollen eyes, and glared coldly at her husband Dong Bicheng.
"Shan'er, this is not a big deal, as long as you will know your mistake and change it. It will be successful, there is training in ancient times, and nine out of ten bets will be lost. Keep in mind. ”
Yue Mochou stood up, took Ruoruo's hand and thought to the door to see if She Yi had returned.
"Don't go to the kitchen to cook yet, what time is it!"
Yue Shan'er glanced at Dong Bicheng, turned around and prepared to go to the kitchen.
At this time, Dong Bicheng suddenly raised his head and looked at Yue Shan'er, gritted his teeth, hesitated for a while, and spoke with difficulty.
"Shan'er, I mortgaged the hotel to someone else......"
Yue Shan'er's footsteps stopped abruptly, Yue Mochou and Ruoruo's footsteps also stopped, and the three of them turned around at the same time and looked at Dong Bicheng in a daze.
"What did you say?"
Yue Shan'er's face was red and white.
The first floor was quiet, surprisingly quiet, and it seemed that everyone's nervous heartbeat could be heard.
Dong Bicheng's fists were clenched tightly, the green tendons on his forehead bulged, his dark face was flushed, and fear and nervousness were intertwined to make his chest rise and fall faster.
Hesitating, hesitating, and finally hesitating, he was like holding a thousand pounds of boulder, his lips were bitten, and a few drops of red blood flowed out.
"I ...... I lost our restaurant too............"
"Ah......h
"What!"
"You!"
Yue Shan'er only felt that the sky was spinning for a while, her brain was blank, her feet were weak, and she fell to the ground with a thud.
