Chapter 44: Gambling Meaning

My mother said, "When I was about to have dinner, your aunt called me and asked me to go to her house to accompany your two cousins.

Your sister-in-law went to work in Zhejiang, and your aunt went to Hefei to visit your cousin. The train departs at five or six o'clock in the evening in Hefei, and it takes eight or nine o'clock to arrive in Panhu City. She was not worried about the two little girls at home, so she asked me to come over and help take care of them for a while.

I won't tell you about this until your aunt comes back. She said your aunt wouldn't let her tell us. I don't know if I'm embarrassed or afraid that we will laugh at her? In short, good luck has come to an end, retribution.

The heart is too ruthless, you don't know, how I begged her at that time. I almost didn't kneel down to her.

I think about how your dad and I helped her in the first place. Her current husband was introduced to her by a friend from your father. It's so unconscionable. ”

It turns out that my mother is also worried about this matter? I thought they were sisters, and the time would pass. Unexpectedly, she has been in a vegetative state for more than three months, and she still remembers this hatred when she wakes up. It really broke her heart.

Trees are afraid of hurting their roots, and people are afraid of being sad. My heart is so broken that I can't get up when it's cold.

I heard that the eldest aunt and the parents, brothers and sisters on the aunt's side also don't get along with each other. Isn't that interesting?

Now it's your turn to have an accident at home, and no one from your mother-in-law's family has come to visit and care about you. Is this face glowing?

To this extent, is it still called success in addition to having a few dollars?

Some people are rich themselves, and they think about their brothers and sisters. Single-mindedly trying to help them live a good life too.

And some people become more selfish the richer they are, and even look down on other brothers and sisters, disliking them for being poor will give him a loss of face. So I can't wait to stop dealing with it all of a sudden. Escape from family affection, escape from reality.

Only the kind aunt still treats her as a person. But I doubt that she really treats her as a sister when she interacts with her aunt?

I'm afraid I'm just using her to understand the situation of my mother's family here. Very fake.

I said, "Since she doesn't want to tell us, let's pretend we don't know." If she took the initiative to visit, she would still think that we were going to see her jokes. ”

"We're passers-by now, why should I go to visit her? I don't have a sister, won't the suffering come too? Just have you to support the Xu family's gatehouse. ”

Mom got up and put the folded clothes in the cupboard.

I saw that the expression on her face was very flat, and there was no angry look. It shows that what she said is not a momentary angry talk, but a heartfelt word.

"Mom, I'll go upstairs and do my homework."

I also got up to say hello to my mother and left, otherwise it would make her more and more angry.

Back in my room and sitting down at my desk, I began to clear my brain of all the distractions. Don't think about anything, let yourself get into the problem.

Until I felt my mind tired and my consciousness was confused. I put down my pen and glanced at the time.

Wow, it's almost 2 o'clock. This time flies so quickly before you know it.

I got up and got off my desk, undressed and went to bed.

I slipped into the bed and fell asleep.

I don't know when? I came to the old bluestone street. I stand on the wooden signboard of "Hsu Kee Gambling" and study the meaning of the name.

Suddenly, I saw Grandpa and Ye Lao Er coming out of the door.

"Young master, that little jiezi is back. In Sun Mazi Casino, he was a thug who guarded the field. ”

Ye Lao Er whispered to his grandfather.

Little Jiezi? Is that the kid who sneaked into his grandfather's house to be an undercover agent for Mayor Huang and exposed the secret room?

"Send someone to keep an eye on him, and send him to the west when he finds an opportunity. It is better to let him be punished by the gods again, and he will not be able to live forever. to be worthy of those who died.

Don't let him see blood, and don't let anyone see any scars. It has to be solved cleanly and unknowingly. Grandpa said with a blushing face and gritting his teeth.

After speaking, he walked towards the stone street. The five strong men followed him.

I hesitated, but still followed Ye Lao Er into the casino.

Ye Lao Er walked to a room in the back hall and said to the man sitting at the table with his head bowed to keep accounts.

"Xiao Wei, you take a few new guys to the door of Sun Mazi Casino to keep an eye on Xiao Jiezi. At night, try to lure him out and use the method of annihilation to get rid of him. Keep it clean and don't let people find out. ”

Xiao Wei looked up at Ye Laoer.

As soon as I saw Xiao Wei's face, I shouted in surprise: "Teacher Wei." ”

Isn't this my homeroom teacher Wei Yikai?

Oh, this should be Mr. Wei's father. Thirty years old. Younger than the current Teacher Wei. It must have been his dad.

Xiao Wei agreed, and hurriedly put down the brush in his hand. I got up and went out.

I followed.

He went to the front room and walked over to a young man standing next to the table, his eyes fixed on the table. His lips moved slightly a few times and he walked away.

The boy beckoned to Ye Lao Er.

Ye Lao Er approached him.

The young man said to Ye Lao Er: "Steward Ye, the man pushing pai gow at this table doesn't look quite right." There seems to be something in the sleeve. ”

"Damn, you want to smash our gambling signboard? The name of our gambling technique is to tell them that to enter our casino to gamble money, the comparison is skill and luck. No dirty items are allowed to come in.

Fuck these guys are timid. Dare to play dirty here. Go ahead, leave it to me here. ”

Ye Lao Er heard that someone was cheating in the casino. I couldn't be angry, and I was ready to repair the man.

From his words, I understood that the name of the sign "Xu Ji Gambling" means that gambling here is more about skill and luck. Don't come in if you want to play fake.

I see.

Xiao Wei shouted six young people and left the casino one after another.

I followed, too.

These people did not go together, they walked separately.

I remember my grandfather telling me the story of the Xu family. It seems to say that the street where my grandfather's family lives is called the main street, close to the main road.

Walking up the bluestone street from the main road is called the main street. Walk inward, called Middle Street. Then go to the mansion where Huang Zhen lives for a long time and call it a small street.

The group scattered towards Middle Street. I followed Xiao Wei.

When I walked to a place where I couldn't see the signboard of Xu Ji, I saw a horizontal plaque hanging on the head of a door. There are a few large golden letters written on it.

"Sun Sheng Casino"

There were 3 people who walked straight into the casino. The other two walked into the teahouse opposite the casino with Xiao Wei.

I wanted to go into the casino to have a look, but after thinking about it, I stayed with Xiao Wei.

It's three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and there aren't many pedestrians on the street. This old shopping street is only at its busiest in the morning.

Grandpa said that in the past, there was no properly planned vegetable market. In the morning, farmers and fishermen in the countryside carry the vegetables they grow and the wild fish and shrimp they catch in the river to this bluestone street to sell.

People from all over the country come here early from far away to shop.

Every day around eleven o'clock, the street gradually begins to desert. At that time, this street was also the most lively place in Panhu Town. The only golden downtown.

Xiao Wei took two young people to sit in the teahouse and drank several pots of tea. But he was still able to stare at the casino gate opposite.
