Chapter 313 Gambling
"I just want him to get better..." Aunt Guihua finally shed tears, and the hot tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, dripping along the wrinkles and ravines on her face and onto the corners of her clothes.
"Osmanthus..." Shen San felt equally uncomfortable seeing his wife crying.
They were originally from a farming family, and they were considered happy if they had a son, a daughter and a few acres of thin farmland.
But God let them lose the chance to live a good life.
Nowadays, life has just gotten better, but my son has become what he is today.
"I just want to ask Fat Ya to help us save Ah Chong. He shouldn't be like this."
Aunt Guihua cried sadly, and Shen Sheng was very distressed. Only Shen Shen sitting in the corner didn't know what he was thinking.
Mrs. Li was coquettishly outside the house for a long time, and finally received a guest.
The man was in his thirties, with a fat belly. A pair of rough hands attached to Li's waist caused her to tremble.
"How much at a time?" The man was very satisfied with Li's figure. He raised and lowered his hands as he spoke. Many people looked at them with scorn.
She is just the lowest butcher, not even as good as the kiln lady in the kiln.
"Ninety cents." Li hooked the man's neck and spoke in a seductive tone. He was thinking of a pure face, which made the man feel extremely itchy.
"As long as you serve me well, I will give you one hundred coins."
"Thank you so much" Mrs. Li put the man's big hand on her chest and then led the person into the small dark room.
After passing through the corridor, the two stopped in front of the courtyard.
"Where is it?" The man had some experience and stopped when he saw that the lanterns hanging on the two rooms were different.
"It's over here, Master! Come quickly!" Mrs. Li opened the door with a red lantern hanging on it and said coquettishly.
The man only felt itchy in his heart. He wished he could take off his clothes and do errands immediately, and hurriedly entered the house: "Come in quickly!"
Before closing the door, Mrs. Li glanced at the door opposite with a mocking look on her face, and then she closed the door delicately and softly.
"Coming, coming"
The candlelight flickered, and the ambiguous sound reached the ears of Aunt Guihua and the others through the two wooden doors.
There was silence for a while, and finally Shen San pulled his wife up from the stool.
"Osmanthus, let's go."
Before leaving, Shen San took a deep look at his son, then supported his wife and walked out of Liuhua Street.
Aunt Guihua didn't speak any more along the way, and just followed her husband's footsteps.
Nanzhi in the teahouse looked helpless: "Miaomiao, it's not that I don't want to help this time, it's that I don't have the ability."
How can she save people?
And now Xiao He is nowhere to be seen, what help can she do?
Shen Miaomiao sighed inwardly and just nodded: "Sister Nanzhi, you can pretend that what happened today never happened. My brother, he is like this now. I don't know what to do. I can only look at my father." Mother has a plan."
"Miaomiao, if you need me for anything, just tell me. It's just what Aunt Guihua said, and I really can't do anything about it."
Nanzhi hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Now she only has the small box that Xiao He gave her when she left. There are only five white pieces in it, and she doesn't know what they are used for.
This situation is not suitable for Tuoda.
"Thank you, Sister Nanzhi." Although Shen Miaomiao felt unspeakably uncomfortable in her heart, she nodded and thanked Nanzhi for her concern.
Just because Sister Nanzhi came to see her today, she was already very touched.
Shen Miaomiao stopped the carriage and went home, and then Nanzhi called her two brothers who were eating noodles.
"Big brother and second brother, are you going home now or going to the carpenter's shop?"
Nanzhi gave him some money and then sat down at the table a little decadently.
"Go home, it's getting dark now, dad should have closed the door and gone back." Lin Yicheng glanced at the getting dark sky, then lowered his head and took a sip of noodle soup.
This noodles is really not as good as the ones cooked by my siblings.
"Okay, let's go home after you finish eating." Nanzhi nodded and looked at the surrounding shops with lanterns hung up, feeling a little disappointed.
Shen Wenchen said he would be back in early June at the latest, but today is already May 28th, but I don't know if he is on his way back.
Thinking of Shen Wenchen in her heart, Nanzhi felt a little unenergetic.
"Fat Ya, let's go home."
"coming."

Cui Tian was kept in the county government until the end of Youshi, and Cui Tian was still a little confused when he was kicked out.
He never thought that he would really be released.
The first time he came out, Cui Tian went to the underground gambling house to find his two friends.
The two people had always been hanging out together, and when they saw Cui Tian while they were playing for money, they were startled.
Doesn’t this mean that Cui Tian was arrested?
Why are you still out?
The two looked at each other, and both saw a bit of confusion in each other's eyes.
"Lao Liu, Lao Ba, I knew you were here." Cui Tian sat down next to the two of them and said.
"Cui Tian, didn't you go in? Why did you run out?" Lao Liu was surprised when he saw Cui Tian sitting down and looking indifferent.
This person has been imprisoned, can he still escape?
"I've been released!" Cui Tian looked proud and contented, putting on great airs.
"Do you have any money? Let me play with you two!" Cui Tian rolled up his sleeves and reached out to Lao Liu and Lao Ba to ask for money.
His abacus was good. Anyway, he gave himself three days off. He spent two days enjoying himself outside, and then told others that he was going out of the city to find money. After being released from prison six months later, he said that he was back. Who could have known? What happened to him this time?
Lao Liu and Lao Ba looked at each other, and Lao Ba took out several hundred copper coins from his arms and handed them over: "I only have three hundred copper coins here. You can play with them, but there is nothing else."
Looking at the three hundred copper coins handed to him, Cui Tian felt a little disgusted, but after all, he had no money at the moment and his hands were itchy, so he could only take it.
"Okay, okay, it's better than nothing." Cui Tian took the money and went to the gambling table next to him.
People who knew him also joked when they saw him: "Didn't you get arrested? Why, your mother fished you out again?"
The man's words immediately caused a group of people to burst into laughter.
Cui Tian and the others all know that he has not been a good person since he was a child.
When he was a child, he would steal his mother's wages for gambling, and when he was older, he would steal his wife's money for fun. Every time he was caught, his mother would fish him out with her own coffin book.
Now he is almost thirty, and he can't even spare a tael of silver.
What a joke!
"What the hell are you talking about? I have money today." Cui Tian said, pressing all the three hundred copper plates in his hand.
The onlookers laughed when they saw that he only had 300 copper coins, and one even said sarcastically: "How much do you think you have! Three hundred copper coins, what, it's your mother's coffin money again?"
Cui Tian's face turned green and red. Fortunately, he hit the mark and flipped from three hundred wen to one or two cents.
"Damn it, I'm very lucky today!"
Cui Tian glared at the man just now, put the money in front of him and continued to place bets.
