Chapter 160

For several days, Lihua always saw the complacent look on Yao Rengui's face, and when she asked him what was the matter, he just smiled and didn't answer with a mysterious look.Lihua thought he was happy because his leg injury was getting better and didn't think too much about it.Seeing the sky and Miss Zhuzhu went to the market to sell and sing to collect travel expenses to Huizhou.Yao Rengui didn't expect that money was so easy to earn in the world. After a few days, he had won more than a hundred taels of silver, which was much faster than Lihua's singing.

Yao Rengui was also afraid that if Lihua found out, he would say that he was not doing his job properly, so he kept hiding it from Lihua, and secretly planned to give them a surprise.Xiaotong was doing housework in the wooden house as usual, and Yao Rengui had already been waiting in the pear grove early.From gambling with the three of them during this period, Yao Rengui also learned that they were all shopkeepers of a fruit shop in Yicheng. Zong, a man named Wen Dadu, is a businessman from a wealthy family.It was almost noon, and I saw the three of them slowly walking over with bamboo baskets on their backs.

Brother Chen saw Yao Rengui from a long distance and said with a smile: "Brother, you came earlier and earlier. The three of us have just picked some pears. You have been waiting for a long time. The pears on this mountain are also picked. It’s almost the same time, go back and make wine and wait until the end of the year, it will be a profitable business.”

Wen Da, who was standing next to him, flattered and said: "Chen Wuge's fruit wine shop is not only famous in Yicheng, but even the royal family and nobles in Lin'an City come to find someone to buy it. This year's pears are so old. The pots and bowls that Fifth Brother has to earn are full again."

Ma Zong unloaded the bamboo basket and said: "In a few days, the pears will be picked, and we won't go up the mountain anymore. It's serious to hurry up and play a few more games. Come, come, come, yesterday I lost badly."

Brother Chen scolded: "You're worthless, you only lost a few hundred taels of silver, and you're crying poor here. You're not afraid of the Yao family brothers' jokes, you can win big money only if you have a lot of silver with you, like you brought a few hundred taels of silver It's a joke to want to win money."

Ma Zong was speechless by Chen Wuge and muttered to himself: "Whoever is as rich and powerful as you will bring so much money when going out."

The words of Ma Zong and Fifth Brother Chen made Yao Rengui hesitate for a long time, and he only brought a little money every day, and if he won, he would only be a dozen or so taels.If he put all his money on it, wouldn't he have made a fortune long ago?The more I thought about it, the more I thought it made sense, so I hurriedly said hello to the three of them and said that I didn't bring enough money with me today, so I went back and got the money before coming back.Brother Chen Wu smiled and said, "Brother, you can do what you want, let's play first." Yao Rengui leaned on a cane and went under a pear tree outside the wooden house, dug up the soil and took out all the silver he had won in a hurry hurried back...

When Yao Rengui went to the pear grove, he heard Ma Da and Chen Wuge arguing about something. It seemed that Ma Zong lost the money and was anxious to be the banker.

Seeing Yao Rengui coming, Fifth Brother Chen smiled and said: "Look at his ugly face, he will be a demon if he loses a little money. Don't be afraid to make Brother Yao laugh. If you want to be a banker, you can do it."

After Yao Rengui saw that Ma Da had become a banker, he took a 500 tael silver ticket on the ground. Yao Rengui held the more than 100 tael silver in his sleeve and did not dare to bet lightly. After the three of them played a few games, they found Ma Ma What the banker Zong has done is really well done. The 500 taels of banknotes were lost in a short while, and they borrowed money from Fifth Brother Chen in a shameless manner.Fifth brother Chen generously gave Ma Da 1000 taels of bank notes, and Yao Rengui secretly praised fifth brother Chen for being a loyal man.

Wen Da picked his teeth with a pear tree branch and said, "Hurry up, hurry up. You deserve to be poor forever if you don't place bets at Meizhuang!"

After Ma Zong got the 1000 taels of silver, his luck changed drastically.Swallowing the money of the two families, he will win as much as he fights outside.After playing the three dice, besides losing 500 taels of silver and getting it back, he also won hundreds of taels. The silver ingots shone in front of Ma Zong, making Yao Rengui dizzy for a while...

"Haha, I knew I could get rich by borrowing your fifth brother Chen's silver. Fifth brother, this is your 1000 taels, and this is your interest. Let's settle the matter, make a bet, make a bet. "

Yao Rengui was overwhelmed by the bet they made just now. It turned out that getting rich is so easy.Pushing his hand, he bet 50 taels of silver, picked up the dice, blew one breath, threw it into the bowl, and shouted, "Leopard, one pays 50..." Yao Rengui placed a heavy bet of 300 taels for the first time, and when he rolled the dice nervously, he almost missed Overturned the bowl.Ma Zong casually supported the bowl with his hand, and when the three dice stopped, it was really three two-point leopards.Ma Zong stopped rolling the dice, and took 50 taels of silver ingots from the ground with a bitter face.Six ingots of [-] taels of silver ingots were piled up in front of Yao Rengui, which made Yao Rengui both pleasantly surprised and regretful.I really should put all my money on it, so that I can buy a decent house in Huizhou and live with my sister Lihua.

It may also be because of his timidity, Yao Rengui felt that his luck was getting worse and worse.Not long after, he lost all the money he brought, and went back to the wooden house dejectedly.When Lihua came back at night, she saw Yao Rengui's frowning face, thinking he was worried about herself.He said with relief: "Brother Rengui, don't worry. I counted and sang for a few more days, and we will have enough money to go to Huizhou and live. Let's eat first, the doctor said that now you You need to eat more to strengthen your body, I bought you a fat chicken. This is today's money, you take it away."

Yao Rengui took the few taels of silver and put them into the small earthen pot under the bed, holding the heavy earthen pot with great annoyance.If it wasn't for my momentary timidity, my luck would not have deteriorated and the money would not have been lost completely.Suddenly Yao Rengui's mind flashed, isn't it silver in his hands?Tomorrow, I will use these money to make money. As long as I can win back the money I lost today, Sister Lihua doesn't have to worry about selling and singing, and the family can go to Huizhou the day after tomorrow...

Yao Rengui thought about it all night on the broken bed, and when Lihua and Zhuzhu went out after dawn, they secretly took the earthen pot and looked at Xiaotong who was still sleeping and quietly went to the pear forest.Not long after, Brother Chen and the others also came, and Yao Rengui tightened the crock in his arms, praying that today he could kill the Quartet and win back the money.Yao Rengui walked up on crutches and said, "Fifth Brother Chen, today I want to be a dealer."

Fifth Brother Chen glanced at the earthen jar Yao Rengui held in his hand, and said with a smile, "Since it was Brother Yao who spoke, then we'll let you be the banker."

Ma Zong set up the bowl and dice on the ground, and Yao Rengui picked up the dice and threw them into the bowl.Yao Rengui felt that today was a particularly evil day, the dice he rolled would be smaller than theirs, and the broken silver in the crock pot lost after two games.Cold sweat dripped down Yao Rengui's forehead, and the broken silver in the crock was earned by Lihua from dawn to dusk.Now that I have lost everything, how can I explain to Lihua when she comes back...

Yao Rengui wished he could smash himself to death with an earthen jar, he collapsed to the ground as if his spine had been pumped.Brother Chen always said with a smile on his face: "Brother Yao, there is no certain amount in the bet. If you lose now, you may win when the time comes later."

When Yao Rengui heard Fifth Brother Chen say this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly said, "Fifth Chen, please lend me some money. I will pay you back after the book is turned over. My money is earned by an uneducated daughter-in-law. , I can't lose!"

Wen Da jumped up from the ground and scolded: "What? You can't lose with your silver? Why didn't you take it when you won a few days ago? Could it be that your silver is silver, but ours is not?" Silver?"

Fifth Brother Chen chuckled and said, "It's not that I don't lend you the money, it's because we don't know each other very well. If you borrow the money and run away, where can I find you?"

Yao Rengui hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Fifth Brother Chen, I have no money now, and I can't run away even if I want to! I will pay you back the money immediately after I win, Fifth Brother Chen, you must help me."

Brother Chen Wu smiled and said, "Then how much do you want to borrow?"

Yao Rengui was embarrassed and said, "I want to borrow...I want to borrow 100 taels."

Ma Zong squinted at Yao Rengui and said, "Fifth brother, this kid doesn't know the basics. If you borrow money from him, at least you have to ask him to write a proof. Our brothers will settle accounts clearly, and we will pay back the money we borrowed immediately." Qing, that will also add [-]% interest, if Li Qing can't do it, then you will have to settle loan sharks with him."

Fifth Brother Chen smiled and said, "That's right, Brother Yao, our friends are friends, and we still have to abide by the rules."

Yao Rengui nodded and said, "Naturally, you should make an IOU if you want to borrow some money."

Wen Da took out a pen and paper from his sleeve, wrote the IOU and handed it to Yao Rengui.Yao Rengui has never borrowed money from anyone in his life, so he signed it and pledged it after a cursory look.Fifth Brother Chen readily gave Yao Rengui two ingots of silver ingots, but the 100 taels of silver disappeared after a while.Yao Rengui's face turned into a pig's liver and he shouted anxiously: "Fifth Brother Chen, please lend me another 500 taels!"

"Hehe, it's easy for Brother Yao to borrow money, just write an IOU." Yao Rengui added another 500 taels to the IOU just now.

Ma Zong said in displeasure: "Don't be so sad, boy, I will only bet on the 500 taels. If you win, you will make money. Where can you find a good person like you?"

Ma Zong threw the 500 taels of bank notes on the ground, and Yao Rengui looked at the bank notes on the ground tremblingly.If he wins, he has everything, but if he loses, what can he do to pay back Brother Chen's money?To gamble or not to gamble?Yao Rengui thought for a long time and decided to win his luck. He held the dice in the bowl, closed his eyes and prayed for a long time before throwing it into the bowl. "Five, six, six. Haha..." Yao Rengui laughed while pointing at the dice, his face recovered.

Ma Zong sighed helplessly when he saw Yao Rengui throwing a large number of points, picked up three dice and threw them into the bowl casually.Yao Rengui stared at the three constantly changing dice, and when the three dice stopped at three sixes, Yao Rengui's face was ashamed of fright.Ma Zong roared and said: "Leopards pay six for one, and bring 3000 taels of silver quickly."

"Three thousand... 3000 taels... silver..., I... I..." Yao Rengui's mind suddenly went blank.

Fifth Brother Chen smiled at Yao Rengui: "Brother Yao, you see that 3000 taels of silver is not a small amount."

Yao Rengui looked at the three dice in the bowl in a daze, and said in a crying voice, "Fifth Brother Chen, I don't know what to do anymore?"

"Hehe, I think so. You owe two creditors to one person, and I will advance his 3000 taels of silver to you first. You can change the IOU again. I also know that you have no money now. The pears are almost gone, let's see you again in a while!"

Yao Rengui walked towards the wooden house in a daze, Ma Zong looked at his back with a sneer and said to Chen Wuge: "Fourth Lord, are you really not afraid of that kid running away?..."
