Crossing the road to riches

Chapter 60 Hong Sanniang's Fox Tail
Hong Sanniang's eyes were red, the money in her hand had bottomed out again, and she owed a lot of money to the casino, if she didn't pay within three days, she would cut off her fingers to pay off the debt.

His mouth was trembling since he left the casino, and as soon as he came out, he thought of Jinmei. He must have a lot of money in his gold ingot, but how should he get this money?
When Hong Sanniang entered the room, Jinmei had already prepared meals. A bowl of vegetable porridge with a plate of dried fish was already a rare food for Jinmei, but Hong Sanniang felt that these things were boring.

Looking at the exhaustion on his wife's face, he couldn't help but care.

"What's the matter with the wife for so many days? I thought about it, why don't we go back and buy a new shop, if there are things that are more affordable, we won't be afraid that we won't be able to sell them."

As soon as Hong Sanniang's eyes lit up, she thought of an idea: "Sister Jin, do you still have money on you? I am on good terms with the owner of the shop. She has a large shop in a good location here and she can sell it to me for only 30 yuan." Two silver coins will do."

Hong Sanniang looked at Jinmei, as if the money was about to arrive.

Most of Jinmei's own money has been given to Sanniang, but there are more than ten taels of silver left, how can she get so much money.

"My wife, I have already given you all my money. I don't have much money on me, and I still need to spend money to live. If it doesn't work, let's set up a stall."

This is the third time that Sanniang has taken money with her, and Jinmei has some doubts in her heart. Sanmei said before that Sanniang likes to gamble. Although he doesn't believe it, he hasn't been suspicious these days.

He didn't listen to other people's words, but he kept Fufu's words in his heart, and let go of the little gold nugget, now on the soles of his feet.

"Sanniang, I want to see our products. You won't be cheated, right? Or did you say you cheated me before and I really gambled with money."

Hong Sanniang trembled in fright at the words of the questioning, and when she hit the mark, she became furious and grabbed Jinmei's shoulder: "What nonsense are you talking about? Is Sanniang like this?".

Hong Sanniang has always been gentle and rarely even speaks loudly to herself, but now she is so angry at herself because of a single sentence.

Jinmei's eyes were red immediately, and she was also angry: "I have no money."

How could he have no money? That day, she touched her bulging purse. Seeing Jinmei's appearance, she realized that she had almost exposed herself, so she quickly calmed down and coaxed her kindly.

"Sister Jin, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was just in a hurry, I was afraid you would misunderstand me, there is nothing I can do if I don't have enough money, I know you still have some personal money, so give it to me, we are a family anyway is not it?".

Seeing Sanniang admitting her mistake, Jinmei felt a little soft-hearted, and followed Sanniang herself, and Sanniang was her reliance, so he seemed to have no reason not to give the money.

Gritting her teeth, she turned around and went to the cabinet to take out her purse. This pink purse was bought by Sanmei for herself, and I don't know if they are doing well.

But he thought it must be good, no matter what happens with the third sister, his father and mother will not suffer.

Opening the purse in front of Sanniang, he poured all the money inside into his hand: "Sanniang, I only have these things left, see if you can think of a way for the rest."

Sanniang looked at these broken silver coins and copper plates, feeling somewhat unhappy, and was sure that Jinmei must have kept them privately.

Jinmei took three pieces of silver and some copper plates from it, and carefully put away the purse: "I will use these for my household, and you can take the rest. I can't take out any more."

Seeing that what Jinmei said today is so decisive, it is not good for her to press on, after all, there is a saying called fine water and long flow.

He replied with regret: "Hey! I'll think of a way to do the rest."

After finishing speaking, she went out. She originally wanted to use Jinmei's money to pay off her gambling debts, but now the money is not enough. If she doesn't try her luck, she doesn't believe that she can be so unlucky all the time .

She simply turned a corner and went to another casino. She didn't come here very often, and the casinos were very popular. She didn't have enough money to gamble, so she didn't dare to come to this kind of place. give it a try.

However, I didn't dare to put the money up at one time, but divided it into two parts. Seeing that it was a new face, the casino's Qianshou immediately rolled up their eyes.

"Sister, we still need a person to gather a table, do you want to come?"

Sanniang looked at the casino full of people who didn't know where they were crowded, and it was just right for someone to invite her out.

"Okay, it's my first time here, please take care of me."

Those two Qianshou naturally took care of them.

"Sister, don't worry about playing. Let me tell you that I won 300 taels here yesterday. Sister, if you are lucky and you can win a few hundred taels, it's not a problem. If you are not lucky, you don't have to worry about it. Anyway, the casino will take care of borrowing money."

Sanniang trembled at the mention of the turnaround money, for she still owed an arm to another casino.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's get started."

At the beginning of the game, Sanniang won seven or eight taels of silver, and she was very happy. If she won two more games, she would be able to pay back the money.

The other two also laughed and made noise: "It's a pity, the girl only put down so much money, if you just put down ten taels, then you won't get dozens of taels."

Sanniang was right, she bet on the money she had just won in the next move, and after a burst of loud shouts, Sanniang's voice opened to the sky, and she got 60 taels of silver.

This money is enough to pay off the debt of another casino, but I don't know why I just can't move my legs.

The onlookers kept booing: "Go on! Go on!".

Sanniang is also red-eyed, she must be lucky today, and if she gambles all the money on herself, she will reach the sky in one step.

But unfortunately, all the money was lost this time, and several zodiac signs were suppressed, but none of them were hit. Hong Sanniang's eyeballs were about to fall out, and she was jumping on the spot in a hurry.

I kicked my legs hard on the ground, regretting endlessly in my heart, if only I had just walked by myself just now, now all the water is in vain.

The two Qianshou knew at a glance that Sanniang was addicted, and led them into the pit of fire.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's just a little bit, ah, a little bit, if my sister does it again, I might be able to turn things around."

Hong Sanniang held the last six taels of silver in her hand, thinking whether to go to the small casino to play more times and double the money, or to win or lose in one game here.

Finally, after thinking about the heavy appearance of dozens of taels of silver just now, I decided to take a gamble.

"Good! Good! I'll bet again."

Within half an hour, Hong Sanniang was kicked out with a bruised nose and swollen face.

She had won, winning hundreds of taels, but she was coaxed to fail, and instead lost all of it, and owed the casino another ten taels of silver.

Hearing that he didn't pay for it, he beat himself up without saying a word.

After touching so much silver, Sanniang was obviously a little dazed.

"Jinmei! Jinmei must still have money. She wants to make money. She must make money today. She must win this time, so she will stop and not continue."

At this time, Jinmei was embroidering handkerchiefs, and he found that the handkerchiefs he embroidered were quite popular here, and they could sell for a good price, which was enough to subsidize the family.

Sanniang suddenly rushed in in a panic, hugged Jinmei's leg and howled.

"Fulang, I'm sorry for you. The money you just gave me was robbed by a bunch of bastards. They not only robbed me of my money, but also beat me up. Now I have no money, Fulang." Can you give me some more money?"

He should have felt distressed, but for some reason, he saw Sanniang's unreasonable disgust: "Didn't I give you the money just now? Where do I have money now?".

But San Niang refused to let her go: "Fu Lang, you must be rich. Think about it again, how could your sister let you out without giving me a little bit of money when she is so rich."

A sentence suddenly appeared in Jinmei's mind that what Sanmei taught her father was like a pot of empowerment, and when she looked at Sanniang again, her eyes were filled with sadness, sadness and disgust.

The third sister said why things that had been invisible before suddenly came together. It was not because she saw that the third sister had developed and made a profit.

It's just that Jinmei didn't expect that someone would make a big mistake and attack her.

"Hong Sanniang, are you a gambler? Did you enter the casino with my money? You don't have to deny it. Sanmei told me earlier, but I didn't listen and chose to believe you. Now it seems that I am blind." dog eyes".

Hong Sanniang was exposed to the lie, so she simply stopped pretending. Anyway, the person is already her own, and he can still go to heaven by himself.

"Yes, I entered the casino, but you have to give the money today. You are my husband, shouldn't you share the joys and sorrows. Besides, who would want you except me for an ugly monster like you."

It's unbelievable that Jinmei is struck by lightning. Is this still my gentle and elegant third mother?But Jinmei is not so easy to handle.

"I can go back! I will go back now".

Jinmei's first thought was to go home, even if it was gossip, but his parents would not starve him.

Now that he regrets it, he thinks of his parents for being kind to him, and he still blames them in his heart from time to time, but now that he is suffering outside, the first thing he thinks of is his parents.

He knew that his parents would be angry, but if he went back and was beaten up, his parents still felt sorry for him.

With red eyes, he yelled loudly at Hong Sanniang: "If I misjudged you, I will go back now, and we will have nothing to do with each other in the future."

Sanniang didn't expect that Jinmei could really do such things as elope and go back, so in a hurry, she slapped Jinmei and knocked her to the ground.

The cheeks were swollen visibly with the naked eye, the teeth were broken and blood flowed from the corner of the mouth, and she lay on the ground watching Sanniang's head turn into three.

Hong Sanniang directly found a hemp rope and tied Jinmei's hands behind her back, searched the few coins from her body, and searched the inside of the boathouse, and groped for Jinmei. any money.

But these few coins are like a drop in the bucket to her, far from enough.

She just believed that Jinmei still had money, so she must have hidden the money.For such a merchant who runs a teahouse, how could it be possible for his brother to have such a small amount of money.

Jinmei struggled and was slapped several times by Hong Sanniang, but Jinmei just kept her mouth shut.

At this time, Jinmei's heart was almost broken, she looked at Hong Sanniang as if she was watching an evil spirit, and spat a mouthful of blood on Hong Sanniang's face.

"Bah! You are a wolf, even if I have money, I won't tell you where I am when I die. If you have the guts, you will kill me."

Zhao's temper is gentle, but it's not easy to handle. How can Jinmei be too weak, but she usually doesn't show it when facing her own family at home.

Hong Sanniang wiped off the saliva on her face and sneered, she still can't deal with a man: "I knew you were rich and didn't tell me".

Immediately, a bucket of water was brought up from the river outside, and Jinmei was lifted up and pushed into the bucket.

"You'd better tell me honestly where the money is today, or I'll drown you."

Jinmei was in despair, the water in the bucket covered her whole head, besides struggling, he had only one belief, that is absolutely not to give the gold to this bastard, otherwise how would he go back by himself.

He was also betting that he would bet that Sanniang would not drown himself, and bet that Sanniang would stop when she was tired.

Finally, at the last moment when he was about to pass out, Hong Sanniang grabbed his hair and lifted him up.

"Tell me where the money is".

At this time, Jinmei has no personal appearance, and he will never say it.

Close your eyes and take a big breath, let Sanniang play tricks on you.

Hong Sanniang almost ran away: "If you don't say yes, I will drown until you say so."

The words fell into a burst of suffocation again.

In the end, regardless of Hong Sanniang's means, Jinmei didn't say a word, but just stared at Hong Sanniang.

Hong Sanniang's spine was numb from being stared at by Jinmei, she couldn't do anything about this bitch for a while, looked at the few coins on the table, and then went to the small casino to try, although it was a bit difficult, it might not be impossible to make money.

Before leaving, he tied Jinmei up in the houseboat, and did not forget to threaten her.

"You'd better think about it before I come back, or I'll starve you to death."

It was a long time after Hong Sanniang left that Jinmei developed fear. If she stayed here again, she would definitely be tortured to death.

He didn't expect that Hong Sanniang could turn her face and deny anyone in the blink of an eye, which made him feel extremely frightened.

At this time, the strong desire to survive couldn't allow Jinmei to think too much, and she only had one thought, which was to leave here, go home and return to Xiqiao Town, and return to the small courtyard.

Compared to being whipped dozens of times with bamboo sticks by one's own parents, life is worse than death.

At this time, Jinmei regretted everything in her heart, and the whole family obstructed her in every possible way, but she still refused to listen to the persuasion, and Hong Sanniang showed her true colors to herself in less than half a month here.

At this time, the Zhao family in Xiqiao Town had shed countless tears, and Wen Fugui was also taciturn. Looking at the Zhao family who was dying for more than half a month, she felt even more uncomfortable.

Why is Jinmei so nonsense and ignorant: "Don't cry, it makes me upset. From now on, I will treat it as if I never gave birth to this son, and treat it as if I raised a dog and was taken away, killed and eaten."

Zhao took the broom in his hand and threw it towards Wen Fugui: "What nonsense are you talking about, you are cursing my sister to death."

Wen Fugui was thrown away and stared at Zhao Shi, but he couldn't scold Zhao Shi like this. When he was free, his mind was full of that bastard.

I simply packed up and went to work. If I work well, I can work without thinking about it.

What kind of evil did she do, except for Yao Nv and a good one, these two are gone, she would rather not have such a good life, she wants a healthy and healthy family to live together, and eat beautifully It's nothing to suffer, it's better than she, a mother, who doesn't know what's going on outside.

Fufu brought Dashan and Baozi to his parents with some refreshing cold dishes. He came to comfort his father-in-law. He was at fault for this matter. He felt guilty.

"Father, I brought some refreshing cold dishes over here, you can eat some, I'm getting skinny these days."

Ever since she stopped worrying about eating, especially after Zhang Sanlang's incident, she has become more and more concerned about her figure. Before Zhao made up her mind to make herself lighter, she failed to achieve her wish, but now she has.

But I really can't be happy.

Fortunately, his son-in-law is becoming more and more sensible, and he is relieved.
