Chapter 181: The Gambler

Qiaoqiao was able to speak, but the first thing she said was: "Please, don't take my aunt!" ”

"Auntie?" Yan Suwen stopped with the hand that was holding the silver needle: "Is it Cui Ying'er?" ”

Qiaoqiao nodded.

"Tell my aunt, how is your aunt treating you?"

"A-Niang is different from what outsiders see." Qiaoqiao said eagerly: "Everyone says that A-Niang is amazing, since she entered the door, she has been in charge of her father everywhere, and it is not good for Qiaoqiao." They also said that A-Niang was married, not the kind of lady of ordinary people, let Qiaoqiao stay away from A-Niang, and don't be taken by A-Niang. But only Qiaoqiao knows that A-Niang is a good person, a very good, very good person. Although A-Niang is very strict with Qiaoqiao, she will personally deliver three meals a day to Qiaoqiao and her grandmother's room, sometimes Qiaoqiao follows her father to the lake to fish, and when she comes back late, A-Niang will also heat up the meals. A-Niang said that Qiaoqiao is a girl and can't eat cold often. Also, the clothes and shoes worn by Qiaoqiao are also made by A-Niang. When Qiaoqiao was sick, she was also taken care of by A-Niang. Auntie, she is by no means what those people outside say. ”

"What about your father? Is your daddy good for Qiaoqiao? ”

"Daddy has a bad temper." Qiaoqiao lowered his head: "Daddy likes to drink, and when he is drunk, he is like a different person, he will scold Qiaoqiao, his grandmother, his mother, and even Qiaoqiao's dead mother." Once, Daddy was drunk and scolded there, Daddy rushed up directly and slapped Daddy, Daddy was annoyed and wanted to hit Daddy, but Niang was scared back with a knife. The knife was used to kill fish in the store, and Daddy woke up in a flash, and since then, he has never been drunk, even if he is drunk, he doesn't dare to provoke Auntie. ”

"Did your daddy beat you?"

"I've been beaten, but it's not heavy." Qiaoqiao smiled astringently: "In the past, it was my mother who protected Qiaoqiao. After my mother died, I was my grandmother. And then it was A-Niang. ”

"Then Qiaoqiao can tell my aunt, what did you encounter on the lake that day?"

"Met someone."

"Alone?"

"Uncle Fang in town."

"Uncle Fang?"

"Fang Wenguang." Cui Ying'er took a bowl of soup, lifted the curtain and walked in, and when she saw Yan Suwen talking to Qiaoqiao, she didn't avoid it, but directly took the words: "This Fang Wenguang, in the early years, he relied on the family's money, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and he was involved in everything. Later, his family fell into the middle of the road, but none of these bad problems have changed. He often goes to the gambling house and is a gambling friend with Qiaoqiao's father, who is also my husband. To put it bluntly, he just took a fancy to my husband's money, and he could borrow a little in times of difficulty. ”

"Then their relationship should be good."

"How good can the relationship between two gamblers be. In the beginning, my husband did give him some money. But in this casino, nine out of ten bets are lost, and gradually my husband has no money in his hands. This Fang Wenguang, in order to make money, thinks about any bad idea. Well, he also deliberately came to provoke me, but my mother-in-law splashed a basin of dirty water. He also gave my husband a bad idea, saying that his daughter is all spilled water, and it is the same in the morning and evening, instead of staying at home to raise it, it is better to find someone to marry Qiaoqiao as soon as possible, so as not to drag it down. Fortunately, although my husband is a bit of a jerk, he is still a thing, and he didn't really use this brain on Qiaoqiao. In short, this Fang Wenguang is not a good thing. ”

"Is this the person your aunt said?"

"Hmm." Qiaoqiao nodded slightly.

"What about after you met him?"

"That day, my father and I were fishing on the lake. The weather was bad, and Daddy said that it was going to rain, and he also said that he would catch the fish this morning and go ashore early to rest. As soon as I came up online, I met Uncle Fang, who also went to the center of the lake by boat alone. It's just that there is nothing to catch fish on his boat, but some wine and food are on the table. ”

"Did he invite your father to drink?"

"Yes!" Qiaoqiao nodded, and then said: "He brought two wine jugs over and handed one of them to Daddy, who picked it up and drank it, and after drinking, people became strange." ”

"What's this strange method?"

"It's like being drunk, but it's not like you're drunk, it just doesn't look the same anyway. The fishing boat was originally small, and Daddy shook it twice and fell into the water. I was terrified, so I lay on the boat and called out to Daddy while looking for him. Later, Uncle Fang grabbed my clothes and dragged me into the water. I can't remember what happened later, I only remember, in a daze, I saw Uncle Fang standing on our boat, not knowing what he was muttering. ”

"Okay, aunt knows, it just so happens that your throat is just right, so you still have to rest more." Yan Suwen gently patted Qiaoqiao's shoulder twice, got up, and walked out with a small medicine box. Euro eBook

walked to the courtyard, stopped, and when I looked back, I saw Cui Ying'er standing at the door of Qiaoqiao's room, smiling at herself. In the room, Qiaoqiao was lying at the window, looking worried.

"Madame, do you have anything else to say to Su?"

"I'm feeling a little unwell, and I want to ask my wife to help me take a look." Cui Ying'er pointed to her bedroom, then turned back to Qiaoqiao who was lying on the window and said, "Listen to your aunt, have a good rest." ”

"A-Niang-" Qiaoqiao looked worried, and even shook her head at Cui Ying'er.

Cui Ying'er smiled, as usual with a little style: "Don't worry about adults, children." promised A-Niang that she would listen to her grandmother in the future, take good care of her grandmother, and learn her grandmother's skills in making fish. Your aunt has lived for more than 20 years, and she has figured out one thing, that is, it is better to rely on others than on yourself, even if you marry by chance in the future, with the ability to support yourself, it is impossible to be inferior in your husband's family. Ah Niang's life is almost in the absence of learning skills. ”

"A-Niangβ€”"

Qiaoqiao looked at Cui Ying'er and cried.

"Well, go to sleep." Cui Ying'er waved her hand and closed the window with a skillful sob.

"I asked Fang Wenguang to find them, and I prepared those drinks in advance."

"Why?"

"Why?" Cui Ying'er stroked her hair: "Madame asked me why I did this, or did she ask me why I was in such a hurry to accept this matter." Actually, it's all very simple. ”

"I'm not from an official family." Yan Suwen suddenly said this, Cui Ying'er looked at her and smiled.

"Where do you start? Fang Wenguang likes me, or he has liked my face since he was very early. He also went to my house to propose, but unfortunately, the Fang family at that time still had some family background, although Fang Wenguang was full of poisons, he was also dignified, and in the eyes of my father's concubine, he was not the worst, so he did not agree to the Fang family's proposal. Of course, I don't like Fang Wenguang. Later, I married into the Wang family, because I was still in the town, so I would meet every day, this Fang Wenguang knew that I was married to a fool, and he always wanted to do something to me. I'm married to a fool, but my foolish husband is very kind to me, and I naturally won't take care of him. In the flicker of the day, I changed from the daughter-in-law of the Wang family to the proprietress of this restaurant, but Fang Wenguang's thoughts about me have never changed. Because of this, he will willingly help me.

Let's talk about my current husband. I've already told my wife before, and I'm a very bastard husband, and he beats and scolds me at every turn, but to tell you the truth, if it's just because of this, I wouldn't want him to die at all. ”

"It's because of Qiaoqiao!"

"Yes!" Cui Ying'er raised her face: "He owes a lot of money to the gambling house, and that money will probably take us to sell fish for two whole years to pay off." Of course, if he can get lost, the money is nothing, not to mention selling fish for two years, even five years. But he is not, he will not wait for us to pay off his gambling debts, he will owe new gambling debts, and the cycle will come back again, and it will not come to an end at all. My mother-in-law knows, I know, and my bastard husband knows it very well.

Madame should have seen that Qiaoqiao did not look like my bastard husband, but like her mother who died young. She was born very good-looking, and when she grows up in the future, her appearance must be above mine. The owner of the gambling house also saw this, and actually came up with a clever idea early. He promised my husband that as long as he gave Qiaoqiao to him, he would let my husband continue to gamble in the gambling house, and the previous gambling debts would also be written off. ”

"He agreed."

"Well, yes. Not only did I agree to this, but I also promised the owner of the gambling house to send me over for a few days. This man is simply something inferior to pigs and dogs, and he can move such thoughts. Cui Ying'er said hatefully: "I, it doesn't matter, anyway, it's already a tattered body, who is not with it." But Qiaoqiao is still so young, and her life is still long, so she can't be ruined by them like this. I thought about it, and I only thought of one way. I didn't want my husband's life, I just wanted him to get sick, or simply lie in bed for the rest of his life. I'm not afraid to serve him, I just don't want him to push his own daughter into the fire pit. The poison and dumbness are also to save her. It's better to be dumb than to be a girl who is ruined by the owner of the gambling house. ”

"So, it was Fang Wenguang's own idea to kill Zhang Guangen?"

"I don't know, he said he didn't mean to." Cui Ying'er looked up at the roof: "What does it matter if it is intentional or not, my husband is dead, although he did not die in my hands, but I found the person and gave the poison, so the murderer is me." ”

"I see." Yan Suwen got up, picked up the small medicine box and prepared to go out.

"Mrs. Gu." Cui Ying'er called her: "When will the people from the government come?" I'd like to give Qiaoqiao a few more advices. ”

"I'm just here to eat fish at your house." Yan Suwen looked back and smiled: "I'm not a fast catcher in the government, and the court didn't send me a fortune, what do I care about your family's idle affairs." ”

"But ma'amβ€”"

"As for me, I'm just curious and like to listen to stories." Yan Suwen shrugged slightly, lifted the curtain in Cui Ying'er's bedroom, and was about to raise her legs, but a cold light flashed.
