Chapter 161: Instead of making a name for yourself on a gambling boat, why not work as a bartender i

The cousin seemed a little unbearable to see the scene of father and daughter recognizing each other. He hesitated and said to Qiu Jie: "Ajie doesn't blame me for this, and I don't want to do this. It's my wife who insists on locking up Xinxin."

Qiu Jie angrily grabbed his cousin's shoulders, pointed at Xinxin who was kneeling on the ground and asked him: "Why do you have to lock her up! She is my daughter, she is a human being!"

"I don't want to either, Ajie, but since your wife left Xinxin here with us, this girl won't speak to anyone. She either cries or makes trouble and even beats people!"

The cousin beside him was still explaining hurriedly, but Qiu Jie couldn't listen anymore. With tears in his eyes, he slowly walked to the little girl on the ground, "It's me, Xinxin, I'm daddy."

But Xinxin seemed not to hear what he said. She picked up a clothes hanger from the nearby debris and pointed it at Qiu Jie, staring at the stranger with wide eyes.

Seeing his daughter's actions to protect him, Qiu Jie felt extremely sad. He looked at the iron chain locked around his daughter's neck. The other end of the iron chain was locked on the small bed in the corner. He angrily picked up the iron pickaxe on the wall and tried to break it. The iron chain, but he pried it several times, but there was no sign of the iron chain breaking.

As he pressed harder with grief and anger, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"Let me do it."

Qiu Jie turned his head and glanced, silently nodded.

Zheng Jirong walked to the iron chain, turned his palms, and held the Lambo knife that Master Changmei had given him. Ajie felt a cold light flash in front of his eyes, and the originally motionless iron chain was cut off in an instant!

Xinxin, who was holding the clothes hanger, saw that the chain was broken and immediately ran outside. Qiu Jie hurriedly caught up after seeing this, "Xinxin, I am daddy."

The cousin who was following him was still explaining to Qiu Jie: "Don't blame me, Ajie, your sister-in-law did all this. I can't stop her."

"Yes! I did it all!"

His cousin's wife grabbed Xinxin by the chain around her neck at the door, then pointed at Qiu Jie and said, "So what if I did it?! You two threw the child away without saying a word." In my house, this damn child is not only disobedient but also often hits people and smashes things. If I hadn’t locked her up, she would have run away like that wife of yours!”

Qiu Jie, who was originally angry, was suddenly speechless. He never liked to argue with others, so he could only look at Xinxin, who was struggling crazily in her hands, with red eyes.

But Zheng Jirong suddenly pointed at his cousin's wife and said in a deep voice: "If you teach her well for a few days and tell her that her father will come back in a few years, will she still be so disobedient? You must not only not teach her, but also You beat her at every turn, and even lock her up like a dog, how can she not beat you?!"

"you"

The woman was immediately speechless after hearing Zheng Jirong's words. She angrily threw Xinxin in her hand to Qiu Jie, "You guys get out of here quickly! Don't come to my house in the future!"

Qiu Jie couldn't listen to anything at this time. He squatted down and touched Xinxin's messy hair, choking and saying, "Xinxin, don't you know daddy?"

Xinxin didn't react at all after hearing this, she just hit him on the head with the clothes hanger in her hand. Qiu Jie took Xinxin into his arms without any hesitation, "Xinxin, I'm dad, I'm here to take you home."

Xinxin in his arms opened her mouth and bit Qiu Jie's neck. Qiu Jie pursed his lips in pain. Instead of pushing her away, he patted her back gently and comforted: "I'm sorry Xinxin, it's dad who is sorry for you." .”

When my cousin saw what was going on behind the scenes, he sighed and blamed himself: "I'm sorry, Ajie, it's my fault. I didn't take good care of Xinxin."

"It's not your fault," Qiu Jie said softly, "It's my fault. It's my fault that Xinxin is like this. Thank you cousin, I'm leaving."

After the words fell, Qiu Jie picked up Xinxin in his arms and walked out without looking back.

outside the house.

Zheng Jirong stopped Qiu Jie, "Ajie, where are you going now?"

After Qiu Jie was silent for a moment, he slowly said, "Brother Rong, please stop trying to persuade me. I really don't want to gamble anymore."

"Who said I was going to persuade you?"

Zheng Jirong patted his shoulder, looked at Xinxin, who was petite and pitiful in her arms but had stubborn eyes, and said, "Xinxin, shall we go to dinner?"

Xinxin glanced at him, then turned her head to the other side.

"."

He smiled helplessly, and then said to Qiu Jie: "Take Xinxin to eat first. She has suffered a lot in these years, so take her to have a good meal."

Qiu Jie looked at Xinxin's thin body and nodded sadly: "Okay."

In the restaurant box.

Xinxin curled up on the chair and stared at the table full of food.

Zheng Jirong picked up a piece of roast goose and put it in her bowl and said, "Don't be afraid, uncle and your father are friends, so feel free to eat."

Xinxin glanced at Qiu Jie after hearing this. When she saw him smiling and nodding, she quickly grabbed the roast goose and stuffed it into her mouth.

Qiu Jie was stunned when he saw this. He pursed his lips distressedly and put the chopsticks in her hand, "Use chopsticks to eat, Xinxin. From now on, we will all use chopsticks to eat. Come, daddy will teach you."

Seeing Qiu Jie patiently teaching Xinxin how to hold chopsticks, Zheng Jirong sighed softly. He was about to light a cigarette when he suddenly remembered that there were children in the private room and put the cigarette into his pocket.

After seeing it, Qiu Jie on the opposite side said to Zheng Jirong: "Brother Rong, let me go out with you to smoke one."

After missing his daughter in the bitter kiln for so many years, he thought about many scenes of them meeting each other in his mind, but he never expected that it would be like this today. He was filled with sadness, anger and depression, and he urgently needed a cigarette at this time. calm down.

But as soon as he stood up and walked to the door, his pants were pulled down by Xinxin who hurried over. Qiu Jie lowered his head and explained: "Xinxin, be good. Dad went out to use the toilet and will be back soon."

Xinxin didn't speak but kept shaking her head.

After seeing this, Zheng Jirong said to Qiu Jie: "You'd better not go out and spend more time with her. She has been waiting for you for so many years and is too afraid that you will disappear again."

Qiu Jie nodded heavily, "I owe Xinxin a lot."

After a while, when Zheng Jirong came back, Xinxin was already lying in Qiu Jie's arms, feeling her stomach and unable to eat.

Qiu Jie expressed his gratitude to Zheng Jirong: "Thank you Mr. Zheng, but I have nothing to repay you now. If I have a chance in the future,"

"Ajie," Zheng Jirong raised his hand and interrupted, "What are you going to do now that you have just been released from prison?"

After hearing this, Qiu Jie thought for a while and replied: "I have an old friend who owns a bar. I should be able to work as a bartender there and make a living."

"Bartender."

Zheng Jirong shook his head and chuckled: "You were once a well-known gambling expert, the famous [Asia's fastest player], and now you are willing to be a bartender?"

“Asia’s No. 1 Fastest Hand”

Ajie smiled miserably after hearing this title. He pointed at Xinxin in his arms and said angrily: "For this reputation, I separated my wife and children. Not only was I framed and imprisoned, my wife also ran away with someone else. Even my biological daughter is tied up at home like a dog!"

He looked at Zheng Jirong with red eyes and said anxiously: "I have lost too much because of the word gambling! Now I just want to lead Xinxin to live an ordinary life. I beg you, don't force me to gamble again." , you are a big shot and don’t understand the bitterness of little people like us!”

Hearing Qiu Jie's words, Zheng Jirong was silent for a long time. He looked at Xinxin, who was at a loss in Qiu Jie's arms, and slowly said: "Ajie, I'm not forcing you. Whether we are voluntary or forced in this world, After all, you have to do something you don’t like.”

He pointed at Xinxin and said loudly to Qiu Jie: "Look at your daughter. She is seven or eight years old at least, but she can't speak a complete sentence, and she can't even use chopsticks. She has obviously suffered a lot. Serious psychological trauma, even if you don’t think about yourself, you have to think about her!”

After Zheng Jirong finished speaking, he stood up and walked to Qiu Jie and said earnestly: "How much do you earn as a bartender in a month? Can you hire a psychiatrist to treat Xinxin? Children as old as her have already gone to school. Your salary After hiring a doctor, is it enough to send her to school? She has suffered for so many years because of your irresponsible father. Now that you are released from prison, do you still want to take her to suffer with you? Ajie, Xinxin She is innocent. Since you have the ability to let her live a good life, why not do it?"

Zheng Jirong's series of questions hit Qiu Jie's heart like a heavy hammer, and he touched Xinxin's head with an ugly expression.

Seeing his silence, Zheng Jirong continued: "And I learned in advance that you didn't have any enemies when you were in prison. Even your wife has now joined your enemy's younger brother. They now know that you have been released from prison. Do you think they will let you go? It doesn't matter if you are single, you can't afford to offend and you can escape, but what about now?"

He pressed Qiu Jie's shoulders and leaned over to ask, "Are you going to take Xinxin and run away with you?!"

Qiu Jie's heart suddenly tightened after hearing this, and his thoughts returned to that night several years ago.

That night, his master Fan took him and his senior brother Zhan Yongfei to participate in a gambling game in Japan. In the last game of that night, Zhan Yongfei suddenly betrayed him and not only colluded with others to kill all the Japanese people present, but also used They cheated the master out of a gambling boat on Ao Island. When he jumped off the building to escape, the master accidentally broke his leg. He was also caught by them, framed as a murderer and sentenced to jail.

If only Zhan Yongfei knew that he had come out.

After seeing the worry on Qiu Jie's face, Zheng Jirong promised loudly: "As long as you agree to my request, I can guarantee you that no one will dare to touch a hair of your father and daughter in the future!"

Qiu Jie touched Xinxin's head. After a long silence, he looked up and said, "I haven't been to the gambling table for a long time."

"Hahaha", Zheng Jirong smiled and patted Qiu Jie on the shoulder, explaining: "I told you before when we were in the car, what you want to do is not to bet money for me, but to bet on my bet." We ordinary people may not be able to detect those people who are sneaky cheaters on the ship, those master cheaters, but I think this should be no problem for you."

Ajie was surprised when he heard this: "You really don't want me to go to the gambling table?"

"Of course not."

Zheng Jirong paused and then continued: "It may be necessary occasionally. Of course, this refers to when someone comes to destroy the place, but I think with the reputation of my town in Guanxi, no one should be so bold."

After Ajie thought for a while, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, Brother Rong, I promise you, but I still have requirements."

"We are all brothers. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Can you pay for this meal? I'm afraid I can't afford this table of abalone and shark fin with the money I have."

"."

The magic has been changed a bit. In the original film, their master was already dead when Ajie was imprisoned. The first thing Ajie did when he was imprisoned was to go to the mourning hall to pay homage to his master.

The magic has been modified here, but it has little impact.
