Chapter 9 Gambling Debts and Gambling

After Grandpa went to Zhou's house, Sister Li Yue's mind was not set for a moment, although she knew in her heart that with the idea she gave Grandpa, the Zhou family would definitely give up the marriage contract, but knowing that it was one thing, and thinking was another, but it didn't come out, and her heart was always restless.

So he walked around the house and outside the house, like a fly without a head, thinking that Grandma was angry and sick, so he went to the East House again, wanting to apologize to Grandma, but that Mrs. Li was a strong man, and now that she was getting old, she actually carried a heel bucket in the hands of her eldest granddaughter, how could it be easy to forget it, and even the house did not let Sister Li Yue in, so she let the Fang family drive Sister Li Yue away, in short, the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren fell to the freezing point. Sister Li Yue couldn't help it, said a few words of apology outside the door, and finally returned to the Westinghouse.

Then stuffy work, scooped a basin of water from the big water tank, and sat there to wash the palm leaves, these palm leaves were picked by her and Mo Yi taking advantage of the opportunity to go up the mountain to collect firewood, wash them clean, and then ten sheets of a tie, during the New Year, Liuwa Town has the custom of wrapping palm seeds, tomorrow is the right day to take the town market with Chai He to sell, take advantage of the past few days, earn a little more, and the family can also have a full year.

Seeing Sister Li Yue like this, several younger siblings also obediently did their own things, even Xiaoyue Bao'er just carried Xiao Mazha to sit in front of the window and drooled at the air-dried meat, and didn't come to stick to the eldest sister.

Old April Jiao squeezed to Sister Li Yue's side, nominally to help wash the palm leaves together, but in fact, she came to gossip: "Eldest sister, when you were in the house with palm leaves just now, I saw Sister Jin Feng coming back with the second uncle, the big bags and small bags are all New Year's goods, and I also see that Sister Jin Feng is holding a piece of cloth in her hand, which is bright and shiny, not an ordinary homespun cloth, very beautiful." ”

"Don't envy you Sister Jin Feng, no matter how hard we work, when we make money in the future, we can also pull beautiful cloth." Sister Li Yue has an answer that she didn't answer.

"Great." Yuejiao shouted happily, and then held back: "Alas, when will our family make money?" ”

"What's in a hurry, down-to-earth, you can always make money." Sister Li Yue looked at her like that and said encouragingly. Of course, her money-making plan is not easy to tell her younger siblings right now.

"Hmm. Tomorrow, I'll go to the mountains to look for palm leaves...... "For beautiful clothes, Yuejiaoer fights."

The two were talking, but they saw Li Rongyan running back from outside like a gust of wind, standing in the courtyard of the east courtyard and shouting: "Grandma, Grandma, Grandpa, Grandpa has set up a gamble with the Zhou family in the town, and the whole town has gone to see it." ”

"What?" Sister Li Yue stood up suddenly, and sighed in her heart, didn't Grandpa go to Zhou's house to dissolve the marriage contract, why did there be a gambling game at this time, and the whole town knew about it, thinking about it, she jumped over the low wall between the two courtyards, and pulled Rong Yan with one hand and asked: "Rong Yan, what kind of gamble, what's going on?" ”

"It's your marriage gamble. Grandpa said, gambling debts are gone, just bet with Uncle Zhou, the Zhou family wins, you will enter the door of the Zhou family tomorrow, if Grandpa wins, your marriage will be done. ”

"How can this be, your grandfather didn't make any other bets, right?" At this time, the Fang family rushed out of the house and pulled Rong Yan to ask, she didn't care about Sister Yue'er's marriage, she was only worried that her father-in-law had gambled the valuable things in the family.

"I don't know, I haven't heard of other bets, I haven't started yet, I'll go home first to inform you, and I'll look at it now." Li Rongyan said, and another gust of wind rushed outside.

"You kid, you don't have to be emotional." The way didn't catch Rong Yan, and he was so angry that he stared there, but then he thought about it, but he was happy, and there was nothing valuable at home, but it seemed that Sister Li Yue's marriage had a turning point, his father-in-law had never seen him gamble, such an honest person, where would he gamble, and that Uncle Zhou, that was an authentic gambler, winning others may not be good, but winning his father-in-law should be nine out of ten.

When Sister Li Yue entered the Zhou family, the Zhou family could not lose its trust in the affairs of her own man. Thinking about it, the heart is even wider.

Seeing Sister Li Yue, whose face was a little ugly, she kindly comforted: "Sister Yue, don't think about it, just wait for the news." So saying, he went into the house.

Tell yourself the good news man.

And Sister Li Yue's hands and feet are cold at this time, is Grandpa just perfunctory herself, but then she feels that it is not right, it shouldn't be, if Grandpa agrees to marry herself, then there is no need to make this whole play, just support Grandma directly, why do you still contradict Grandma for her business, and if you don't agree to marry yourself, you have your own ideas, it is bound to win, why do you want to make this gamble?

In short, Sister Li Yue thought about it and felt that both ends were unreliable. It's like a cat scratching in my heart, where can I stay here anymore. Leaving the palm leaves, he ran to the temple in the middle of the town.

Yue Jiaoer is a capable woman, and when she saw her eldest sister running away, she also called her second brother to chase her out.

There is a drama stage in front of the temple in the town, and during the New Year's Festival, the rich people will get together and invite the opera gang to sing a big opera, and this time the gambling game of Old Man Li and Uncle Zhou is placed here, under the eyes of the whole town.

That Zheng Tu took a few of his nephews to take this opportunity to open a handicap, and the people who watched the play even bet on you and me, all of which were won by the old man Zhou.

At this time, Old Man Li and Uncle Zhou were sitting on the stage, and a table was set up between the two, on which a set of gambling equipment was placed.

"Lao Li, otherwise, let's try two sets of tricks first." Uncle Zhou is in his forties, slightly fat, and he looks kind when he sits there.

"Okay, it's up to you." Old man Li said, still honestly with a wooden face.

Under the stage, people with good deeds whispered: "You said that this old man Li is so like a bear, and he still bets with Uncle Zhou, I don't know how much he has color." ”

"What is important about how many points of dice has, as long as you know the size, Old Man Li can always know the size of the bag." Someone joked again.

Everyone around them burst into laughter.

At this time, the trial plate is about to start, on the stage, the old man Li is the banker first, just look at him holding the coloring cup and shaking the color, so that the audience will shake their heads and sigh, so where is the shaking color, is pushing and grinding, at first glance it is a gesture that has never been to the casino.

And the test results of the first set, as expected, Old Man Li lost, and according to the regulations, the dealer had to lose twice. However, this bet is to win or lose, take turns to be the banker, and it doesn't pay attention to double or anything, after all, it's just a test plate.

In the second test set, once again, as everyone expected, Old Man Li lost again. In the third set of the trial, Old Man Li lost again.

Seeing this, the people under the stage sighed, there was no play, Old Man Li was completely uncomfortable with himself this time, Sister Li Yue's marriage to the Zhou family was decided.

"Try another game, I won't believe it, I won't be able to win a set." Old man Li has lost his mind. looked at Uncle Zhou with red eyes.

"You don't have any money to gamble anymore, let's officially start gambling." Uncle Zhou said indifferently, the reason why he wanted to try the game before was completely cautious consideration, to see what level Old Man Li had, he was most afraid of encountering a pig and a tiger in this casino, but after these three games, Uncle Zhou was completely relieved, Old Man Li was a layman at all, so he was naturally lazy to grind mushrooms with him.

"And this jar of wine, if I lose, I will drink this jar of wine in one go, if you lose at will." Old man Li pointed to a jar of wine on the table viciously, this jar of wine was sold on the way he came just now, and it was originally going to be given to Uncle Zhou, but he couldn't take care of it at this time, and he would talk about it after gambling.

The people in the audience looked at Old Man Li with a desperate look, and sighed: "This gamble is really untouchable, look at Old Man Li, a person who is honest on weekdays, and now he is really a gambler." ”

Sister Li Yue also stood in the crowd under the stage, looking at the grandpa on the stage, and wondered anxiously: Grandpa, what the hell are you doing?

On the other hand, Mo Yi and Yuejiao were also very anxious, and both of them were stomping their feet: "Grandpa is really, why should you gamble with others if you don't know how to gamble, now the eldest sister is married." ”

The two of them were crying with a sad face, but the more they got to this time, the more Sister Li Yue didn't feel that Grandpa was too different from usual, and she always felt that Grandpa was doing something. Keep pondering.

"Okay, try it one last time, I won't take advantage of you, if I lose, I'll drink it all in one go." Uncle Zhou said beautiful things, anyway, he couldn't lose, so he tried again, and it wouldn't take much time.

This is Uncle Zhou's village, Old Man Li is already desperate, he doesn't even want to think about it, he directly puts the wine jar on the odd number, does not bet on the size, directly bets on the odd and even, which is more difficult than betting on the size.

Uncle Zhou knew that Old Man Li didn't pay attention to the rules at all, and he was trying his luck, so he opened happily, thinking in his heart that this wine would have to wait for Old Man Li to finish the real gambling game before drinking, otherwise, how to gamble when he was drunk. It's just that I didn't expect that as soon as I took the lid away, it was really a singular number, and Old Man Li won. Uncle Zhou was stunned for a moment, this old guy really let him touch it.

The people in the audience cheered, and finally Old Man Li won once.

This time, Old Man Li happily sent the wine jar to Uncle Zhou.

Uncle Zhou can't say if he has any bitterness, who let him do it before, but he is a drunkard, and he has always had a large amount of alcohol, so he is not afraid of this jar of wine, so he drank this jar of Huadiao wine in one go in the applause of everyone, which is quite arrogant.

However, after all, this wine was drunk too quickly, and after drinking, my head was a little dizzy, but it did not affect the gambling.

The next game is the gambling game that really determines the fate of Sister Li Yue, and it is Old Man Li's Zhuang, Old Man Li shook the color cup, his eyes squinted slightly, Sister Li Yue stared at the most familiar expression of her grandfather on the stage, and she had this expression when she was basketed by her grandfather on weekdays.

Looking at her grandfather's expression, Sister Li Yue suddenly squeezed through the crowd, ran to the side of the idle men who opened the handicap, and said breathlessly: "Can you still bet now?" ”

"Yes, isn't it still open? Who does Sister Yue'er want to buy to win? Zheng Tu laughed, while Zheng Dian looked at Sister Li Yue with white eyes, this kid was beaten by Sister Li Yue, which was regarded as holding a grudge against Sister Li Yue.

"I'll buy my grandpa to win, two taels of silver." Sister Li Yue took out the only two taels of silver left on her body.

"Sister Yue'er, this is not the time to take money to put your gas on the side, your life at home is already difficult enough, just buy a penny or two." Zheng Tu said kindly.

"Yes, eldest sister, grandpa is going to lose." On the other hand, Mo Yi also persuaded.

"I support the eldest sister, if Grandpa loses, the eldest sister marries into the Zhou family, and she still cares about these two taels of silver, if Grandpa wins, haha the odds of one to three, then can we get six taels." Yuejiao moved her fingers and calculated, her little face was very excited, this girl's perspective on problems is always different from ordinary people.

Sister Li Yue's bet is actually a feeling, a very strong feeling, Grandpa will not lose, but Yuejiao said this, which is quite reasonable.

"Oh, yes, that's fine, I'll take it." Zheng Tule said hehehe.

After placing a bet here, the gambling game on the stage is about to open, and this time I specially invited the village elder to come to the stage to open it.

Sister Li Yue pulled her younger siblings to squeeze to the front of the stage, and listened to the people watching the show: "Then Old Man Li actually pressed the leopard, how is it possible, he can shake the leopard like that?" It's crazy. ”

"Don't make noise, it's on, I'm so nervous." Another impatient Dao who watched the play was obviously a person who gambled a lot, and this one was completely involved in the play.

On the stage, the village elder slowly lifted the lid of the color cup, and the three dice were all facing up at six o'clock.

"It's a leopard." The old man of the village was stunned, and at the same time, it also caused a gasp from the audience. On the one hand, Uncle Zhou's face was iron-blue, only Old Man Li had an honest face, and said honestly: "Luck, luck, coincidence, coincidence." ”

The people in the audience were even more surprised that their jaws were about to drop, Old Man Li was so lucky, this can be encountered, only one or two people with vision are muttering there, this may not be luck.

Of course, more people who have lost money are scolding their mothers.

"Eldest sister, grandpa has won, hurry, go and exchange the silver." Yuejiao jumped up happily, this girl remembered the silver.

And at this time, a big stone in Sister Li Yue's heart finally fell to the ground, and she said that Grandpa would not harm her.
