Chapter 43: The Gambling House
Mo Xiaoqi turned into the richest person in Renshou County. And the cake shop next to Kelaixiang finally closed because there were no customers.
The unwilling sister-in-law wanted Mo Xiaoqi to give her a sum of money, so that she could take her mother back to her hometown.
But Mo Xiaoqi said: "I gave you a chance, but you don't want it." ”
"Xiaoqi, you have money now, and you have so many more shops. We are all relatives, and you can't watch our family be poor. Through her understanding of Mo Xiaoqi during this time, the eldest sister-in-law knew that she was not a bully, and her attitude improved.
"Sister, didn't the store give you one? I'm not doing well on my own, and now I'm coming to talk to me about this? Mo Xiaoqi thought it was funny, people in the world are always so greedy, do they think that everyone else should owe her?
"Alright, I still have something to do." After Mo Xiaoqi finished speaking, he left.
"Hey, don't go! Xiaoqi, let's discuss it carefully, no, how about you hand over the tree to me first? You see, we are all relatives, Shu'er is my nephew, I will definitely be good to him. The eldest sister-in-law chased after Mo Xiaoqi and refused to give up.
After going back and forth, Mo Xiaoqi got annoyed, so he sent their husband and wife to help in a store under their name.
Who knew that the two of them actually regarded themselves as bosses, which made everyone in the store uneasy and restless. First, he asked the shopkeeper there to make a false account and transfer all the money to them, and then he left the shopkeeper in anger.
Mo Xiaoqi couldn't cry or laugh after receiving the news, and was very helpless. I just think it's better to take the money and send them away!
But she never expected that the day after she had this idea, someone from the gambling house came to the door.
"Mo Xiaoqi! Who is Mo Xiaoqi! "Three sturdy men came straight to the door and made a loud noise.
Mo Xiaoqi has feelings for Kelaixiang, so he is often here, and when he hears someone looking for him, he also comes out to meet people.
"Three big brothers, don't you know what you have to do with me?" Mo Xiaoqi said politely.
A man at the head stood up and said, "Your brother-in-law owes us two thousand taels of silver, let us find you to get it." ”
"Oh, I see, it's only right to pay off debts, but you should find someone who owes you money." Mo Xiaoqi thought it was funny, how could these people think that she would pay back that useless brother-in-law?
"Hmph, he's betting in our gambling house now, you'd better take two thousand taels to get someone." The man said so.
"Well, I'll think about it." Mo Xiaoqi is not salty or indifferent.
The three of them looked at each other, discussed it, and then said, "Cheng, then you can hurry up." ”
"Little chess! You must save your brother-in-law! He usually works hard and has a good heart, he must have been deceived by those people to owe them money! The eldest sister-in-law rushed in from the outside, obviously she knew about it before Mo Xiaoqi.
"Sister, my brother-in-law's debt is his business, and it has nothing to do with me. I've done what I had to do. Mo Xiaoqi said coldly.
But Mo Xiaoqi's coldness obviously annoyed the eldest sister-in-law, and the eldest sister-in-law said: "Okay, Mo Xiaoqi, you don't want to give out such a little silver as two thousand taels, you deliberately want your brother-in-law to be killed by the group of people in the gambling house." ”
"Don't say that." Mo Xiaoqi chuckled, "Since you think your two thousand taels are very little, then you can come out." After speaking, Mo Xiaoqi turned his head and went back to the back kitchen.
She will also help in the back kitchen from time to time, and the apprentices she taught can be regarded as independent.
"Mo Xiaoqi!" The eldest sister-in-law gritted her teeth, thinking about how to save her husband.
After thinking about it, she decided to put down her face and kneel to beg Mo Xiaoqi.
A husband's life is much more important than his dignity.
"Xiaoqi, you must save your brother-in-law, otherwise he will definitely die." The eldest sister-in-law knelt in front of Mo Xiaoqi with tears in her eyes, holding her legs.
Mo Xiaoqi tried to pull her leg away, but the sister-in-law hugged her so tightly that she couldn't get it open.
"Sister, you let me go first." Mo Xiaoqi said helplessly.
"Xiaoqi, you promise me first, promise me to save your brother-in-law." The eldest sister-in-law pleaded.
She has no money and no acquaintances to help, so in order to save her husband, she can only beg Mo Xiaoqi to save her husband.
If Mo Xiaoqi is unwilling, she has already thought about it, if she is unwilling, she will steal, and if she can't steal, she will kidnap Shu'er in exchange for money!
Mo Xiaoqi looked down at the sister-in-law with a handful of snot and tears, and said helplessly: "You let go first, brother-in-law's matter, I promise you, I will find a way." ”
The eldest sister-in-law stood up at this time, wiped her tears and said, "Thank you, thank you." ”
Looking at her sister-in-law begging for her so humbly, Mo Xiaoqi actually felt sorry for her in her heart. But I thought that there must be something hateful about the wretched.
When she came half a year ago, she was aggressive, but now she looks innocent and weak, which is really funny.
She didn't want to dwell on this kind of thing, she thought in her heart that she wanted to go to the capital and make her business bigger.
The point is that she wants to avenge Mrs. Li.
Only by going to the capital can she have the opportunity to enter the palace and meet that father-in-law.
If she has never had the opportunity to take revenge, she will not force it, but she wants to do her best.
She also saw the corpse of Mrs. Li, so pitiful and miserable, her eyes were round and staring at death, and she was cut off as a woman's character.
She couldn't help but think of what Mrs. Li said to Grandpa An that day in order to help herself.
After thinking about it, she felt that Zhao Hongyi's side was right, and Grandpa An must be the initiator!
If there is a hell in this world, this prisoner should be reduced to the eighteenth layer of hell, and he will not be able to live forever.
"Xiaoqi, shall we go and save your brother-in-law?" The eldest sister-in-law pleaded.
Mo Xiaoqi nodded, just thinking that it was good to take a look.
Jixiang Gambling House is the largest gambling house in the city, and there used to be a rich gambling house of An Jia to be an enemy, but now An Jia has fallen.
The Lucky Gambling House became the only place for gamblers in the city.
And Mo Xiaoqi's brother-in-law was detained in this gambling house.
As soon as she entered the gambling house, Mo Xiaoqi frowned, and the unpleasant smell in it reminded her of the disgusting smell of smoke on her husband in her previous life.
"Boss Mo, you're finally here." Chen Jixiang, the owner of Jixiang Casino, greeted him.
He had long wanted to meet Mo Xiaoqi and see what she was coming from.
"Boss Chen, where is my brother-in-law?" Mo Xiaoqi went straight to the point, without dragging his feet.
"Boss Mo, don't worry, your brother-in-law is safe, but I have business I want to talk to you about." What Chen Jixiang wants is a rich gambling house.
The Fugui Gambling House has been closed since the fall of the An family, and Mo Xiaoqi plans to open a pai house teahouse for leisure and entertainment.
However, she had already seen that the auspicious gambling house wanted that rich gambling house.
"Boss Chen, this is two thousand taels of silver tickets. I want to see my brother-in-law. Mo Xiaoqi escaped from his sleeve and slapped it on the table in the gambling house.
