Chapter Forty-Six: Awakening

"Xiang Jiuling, do you know what you're doing now?"

After dinner, Wen Xi stared at Xiang Jiuling, his voice was cold, Xiang Jiuling opened a gambling house only after he came back and overheard the conversation of the neighbors.

"I thought you were busy with business recently, but I didn't expect you to open a gambling house behind my back, do you know that gambling money is addictive? How many people fold their heads here, you ......"

"Why is this not serious, I didn't hold a knife around their necks to force them to gamble, everyone is willing, I just provide a venue."

Xiang Jiuling obviously didn't agree with Wen Xi's opinion, in her opinion, this was just a way to get money quickly, so that they could earn more money and the children would not have to suffer.

As soon as the words fell, the air instantly quieted down a little.

Wen Xi's face sank like water: "Xiang Jiuling, the previous thing was that I misunderstood you, I thought you had changed now, but now you are clearly doing foolish things, don't you know how many people have lost their lives because of gambling money?" There are all broken hands and feet, you don't avoid them, but jump into the fire pit, what are you thinking in your heart? ”

His voice was full of anger, his emotions were uncontrollable, and his eyes became fierce.

Both of them had their own understandings, were stubborn, and then quarreled.

The three children had never seen this battle before, and they were all a little flustered when they saw them arguing like this, especially Sanni.

The little girl stepped forward and pulled Xiang Jiuling's sleeve, crying and said, "Mother, don't quarrel anymore, stop arguing." ”

Erbao was also a little scared, but he also hurriedly spoke: "Dad, mother, then don't open it, don't quarrel, why can't you discuss it well?" ”

Seeing his younger brothers and sisters crying together, although Dabao was flustered, he also knew that he couldn't cry at this time, so he hurriedly helped to comfort his younger brothers and sisters, and then spoke out to persuade him: "Mother, I also think we shouldn't open a gambling house, I heard someone say that someone was cut off because of gambling debts, let's turn it off?" ”

Xiang Jiuling clenched the money bag, obviously refusing to agree, these are all the silver she earned by opening a gambling house during this time, this is just a way to make money, she doesn't understand why Wen Xi is so opposed, those who gamble and go bankrupt are just to blame, greedy, what does it matter to her to open a gambling house?

Moreover, even if she doesn't open it, there are still so many people who open it, can those people stop gambling?

Xiang Jiuling and Wen Xi argued a few more words, and in the end, the two broke up unhappily, and the atmosphere could be described as extremely stiff.

But Wen Xi didn't plan to bow her head, she didn't discuss this matter with him, not to mention that it was a gambling house, and there were countless tragedies caused by gambling money in recent years, and he had seen a lot, so he couldn't let Xiang Jiuling open this gambling house.

But now that Xiang Jiuling has made a lot of money, how can he be willing to turn it off.

There are more and more people in the gambling house, and Xiang Jiuling's business is getting better and better, Wen Xi has had several conflicts with her, but she still can't persuade her.

"Okay, you don't have to say anything about this, I have a sense of proportion."

Xiang Jiuling's tone was a little impatient, and when she said that it was all those words, she was already tired of listening to them, and her ears were about to become calloused.

Wen Xi's voice was low: "No, you don't know what proportion is at all, otherwise you wouldn't have opened a gambling house, and after telling you so much, you wouldn't have listened to a word." ”

His tone was full of disappointment, he thought she had changed before, but he didn't expect that she was now going down another wrong path, and she couldn't pull it back.

"I know what you mean, but I didn't ask someone to cut off someone's hands and feet, I just drew some money appropriately."

In the previous life, when others opened a teahouse to play cards, they also had to draw tea money.

Seeing that Wen Xi was about to speak, Xiang Jiuling simply closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

That's it, since she can't listen, let's go with her first, and sooner or later she will wake up.

And this day came quickly.

Xiang Jiuling had just finished breakfast at home, and before she had time to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, several officers and soldiers suddenly broke into the courtyard and forcibly took her away.

The three children were all frightened and cried by this sudden group of people, and Wen Xi didn't stop him if he wanted to, so he had to comfort the children first.

At this time, Xiang Jiuling was still a little unsure, "What are you doing, why are you arresting me?" ”

The gambling house was doing well, and there were no major problems, let alone any disputes, so she couldn't figure out why the officers and soldiers would arrest her.

Soon, an officer and soldier explained her puzzles: "You always know Zhang Liu." ”

"He was hired by me to take care of the accounts, what's wrong with him?"

Xiang Jiuling asked puzzled.

The officers and soldiers told the truth, it turned out that this six-pipe money began to be dishonest when he was in charge of his heart, after all, he worked for money, and when he saw the money, he found an opportunity to sweep away all the money.

Others took the things in the casino to him to exchange money, only to find that he was gone, and hurriedly went to the government to report the case.

The government thought that Xiang Jiuling and Zhang Liu were colluding and deliberately deceived people's money, so they arrested her.

Xiang Jiuling's face changed suddenly, she thought that this time it would be calm, but she didn't expect bad luck to strike so soon, she still had some doubts in her heart, and it wasn't until she was interrogated that she confirmed that Zhang Liu really ran away with money, and ran away without a trace, and no one has been found until now.

For a moment she was full of regret.

The official stared at her and said in a deep voice: "This official has been an official here for several years, and I have seen many people lose their lives because of gambling money, their wives are separated, and their families are ruined. ”

Xiang Jiuling woke up suddenly, feeling like she had a nightmare dream, and finally woke up at this moment.

Yes, she shouldn't have opened this gambling house, and blamed her for being too utilitarian, only thinking about making money, but unfortunately in the end it was ruined by the unladylike employment.

Xiang Jiuling on this side was still remorseful after learning the truth, and Wen Xi and the three children on the other side were still worried.

Erbao sat on the chair with Sanni in his arms, and looked at Wen Xi with some fear, "Dad, what's wrong with my mother, when will my mother come back?" ”

Hearing this, Sanni also stretched out her head from Erbao's arms, and looked at Wen Xi with a pair of watery eyes, "Daddy, I miss my mother!" ”

The two children are small and don't understand the seriousness of the crime, Wen Xi took a deep breath and showed a relaxed expression, "It's okay, you guys stay at home well, Dad will bring your mother back soon, okay?" ”

Wen Xi told Dabao a few words to let him take care of Erbao and Sanni and went out, and only after inquiring around did he know the truth of the matter, he had already seen that Zhang Liuyi was not a trustworthy person, at that time he was still a little angry because of Xiang Jiuling's opening of a gambling house, so he didn't care, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
