Chapter 2 Fish Head Tofu Soup
"Buy big and buy small, buy and leave!"
In Huaxia Kingdom, in an underground casino in H City, a plump woman threw the last stack of chips around her to the "small". Between her index and middle fingers, covered in bright red nail polish, is a woman's cigarette. The white smoke that was constantly shaken by the sound of people was like Lai Jinhua's heart at the moment, up and down, nervous.
"Open! Three fours, leopards, all killed! ”
"Damn!"
"!"
"Six leopards in a row, it's too fake!"
"!" Lai Jinhua threw away the cigarette butt and scolded. When she opened her handbag, she saw that except for a lighter lying there quietly, even the last cigarette had been trampled on the soles of her feet.
"Bad luck!" She cursed again, lifted her fat body from the stool, and squeezed it out of the crowd.
"Lai Jinhua!" As she was about to walk out of the casino door, a magnetic voice rang out.
"Which little brute is called Lao ...... Mother ......" Lai Jinhua turned around, and the mouth that was still holding her teeth just now grinned at the corner of her eyes, "Ouch, it's Brother Hong...... Hey, hey...... Brother Hong, you, why did you come in person. Oh yes, I have to go back and cook dinner for my daughter, let's talk next time......"
As she spoke, Lai Jinhua had already turned around to leave.
"Hmm!" Behind her, Brother Hong, known as Brother Hong, waved her fingers, and four burly men blocked her way.
"Hehe...... Brother Hong, you, this is too polite, four strong men, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with it......"
"Lai Jinhua, don't mess with me. Today, I, Hong Wu, have come specifically for you. Hong Wu paced in front of her, "Seeing that you are a regular customer of the casino, I have forgiven you again and again, but you seem to regard my politeness as a blessing?" ”
"Ahem, hehehe...... Where is it, Brother Hong, I, haven't I been unlucky in the past two days. If you have a few more days, it's seven days! No, three days! Just three days! ”
"Lai Jinhua, don't bully me for not reading much," Hong Wu approached her, and his eyes narrowed into a slit without concealing his murderous intentions, "Even with 500,000 interest, I will give you a day." By this time tomorrow, either come with the money or bring your hand in your bag. ”
"Hehehe...... Brother Hong, you, you're really joking. Lai Jinhua's thigh-like calves have begun to tremble, "What should I carry in the handbag...... Hehe, hehe. ”
"You can hang it around your neck!"
Hong Wu's eyes swept over Lai Jinhua's throat, making her shudder, and she almost lost her mind.
"Yes, yes, yes." Lai Jinhua hurriedly bent down and nodded, however, she only saw her fat body swaying back and forth, and she didn't even see where her waist was.
Lai Jinhua ran out of the casino with her legs.
"Fifth brother!"
"Keep up with her."
"Yes!" The two big men followed silently.
"Lai Jinhua, Lao Tzu has put the bait for so long, see if you eat it or not!" Hong Wu muttered as he turned the jade ring on his middle finger.
"Old Five," a tall figure appeared beside Hong Wu, "This woman is the one you said?" ”
"Big brother, it's her." Hong Wu led the boss into the internal special elevator, "I sent someone to stare at it for a while, this woman is a gambler, and the man has already died." She didn't have any other sources than gambling. But every once in a while, she would come up with a large sum of money. I suspect she has a secret in her. ”
"Then keep an eye on it."
"Yes!"
Lai Jinhua walked on the road, thinking about what to say when she went back, but she didn't realize that she had been watched.
She walked to the intersection where she lived and found that the small fresh food supermarket had not closed, and her eyes rolled.
"Boss!" Lai Jinhua walked into the supermarket and put her handbag there to exchange for the last tarpon head and a box of ancestral tofu. When she walked out of the supermarket, she had already changed her expression, and her eyebrows were smiling.
Humming an out-of-tune song, Lai Jinhua walked into a small courtyard. This area is a rural-urban area, and there are many outsiders and many old residents who have been here for a long time.
The houses in this area are all home-built, and they are called small detached houses, but they are actually old-fashioned peasant houses. Some people's homes were renovated when they were in good condition, and second, third, and fourth floors were built on the original foundation. Some homes are still the same, with white walls and gray tiles and a patio.
The courtyard that Lai Jinhua walked into was a two-bay, two-story building, covered with water-stained and mildew-stained walls, as well as mottled wall tiles, all showing that the small building had not been taken care of for a long time.
She walked into the kitchen, swept away the pots and pans that had been spread out on the table for several days, and began to pick them up with her hands, her fingers whirring rapidly. This ten-finger kung fu has been honed on the mahjong table for decades, although each finger has been crowded with meat and is almost inseparable, but the movement is clear and unambiguous.
She washed the dishes and chopsticks of the two people, and went upstairs with a large pot of fish head tofu soup.
There were only two rooms on the second floor, and she walked to the door of the room with the security door, took the key from her chest and opened it. Then he turned around and put it down and closed the door.
"Scarlet Moon, Mom made you your favorite fish head tofu soup, come and eat it!" Lai Jinhua shouted at the girl leaning on the bed.
The girl was reading a book in her hand without raising her head.
"Smack!" With a sound that the book was taken away, the girl half-raised her head and glanced at Lai Jinhua. That glance, without any warmth, no emotion, and no hatred. As if looking at something that had nothing to do with him, he glanced at it and moved it away.
"Come and eat! Yes! The moment she saw that look, Lai Jinhua's hand that snatched the book flinched for a moment, but she immediately changed to a smiling face, and said in the gentlest tone she felt, "I'm going to send it to your dad after eating." ”
The girl seemed to be touched by her last words, and finally her eyes began to focus. She looked up and turned to the soup on the table. She stayed in the house every day, not knowing what day it was outside. But the steaming heat of the fish soup and the faint fishy smell in the air reminded her of the scene when her father made fish soup for her before he died.
Yes, her dad is actually dead. She looked at Lai Jinhua, who was serving her soup diligently, and she thought she didn't know. In fact, what she said to her lover that night was heard by her through the wall.
Her father had died in a car accident two years ago, and he had left a large amount of compensation money that the woman had gambled on.
"Qianfeiyue, come and eat!" Lai Jinhua shouted irritably, and quickly realized that her tone was not very good, and quickly added, "It's fishy when it's cold, eat it while it's hot!" ”
Qian Feiyue finally moved, she turned around and got off the side of the bed, walked around the end of the bed to the table, and brought a "clang" sound of chains.
