Sloth's Home Fragrance of Rice Fields

Chapter 244 The lotus man went to gamble again
"Mother, let's go back, it's almost dark today." Li Yao said.

"Yes, let's go back quickly. Yao'er, help your sister-in-law." Aunt Li said.

Chen Wenbin and Li Yao came out of Li's house after finishing their meal. It was already dark at this time, and under the faint moonlight, Chen Wenbin and Li Yao had only one horse left. They were not in a hurry to go home, so they rode slowly Walking steadily, as soon as I reached the entrance of Osmanthus Village, I saw two figures pulling in front of me.

"You can't take this money away. There is only so little money left in the family, and we have to save it for the medical treatment of our parents. Our son can't be hungry all the time." A familiar cry came to the ears of the two, The two frowned at the same time.

"Lotus, please, this is the last time, I promise I will win the money back, and then I will let my parents and you two live a good life!" The man swore to Hehua.

"How many times have you made a promise to me?" He Hua said while crying: "But you always come back with nothing to lose, please quit gambling, as long as you are willing to keep your feet on the ground, I am not afraid to suffer hardships with you !"

"Give me the money and let me gamble for the last time, and I will never go to the casino again!" the man said again.

"No! You say it's the last time every time, but which one counts? You see that your parents are so sick now, why don't you wake up? Are you really going to make your parents mad so that you can Quit gambling?" He Hua's voice was hoarse from crying.

"Lotus, give me the money quickly, they are still waiting for me!" The man pulled out the copper plate that Hehua was holding tight, and then ran out of Osmanthus Village quickly.

"Come back—the child is still hungry." Lotus cried and fell to the ground.

"Yao'er." Chen Wenbin got off his horse, looked at the lotus lying on the ground, and hesitated to speak to Li Yao.

Li Yao also turned over and wanted to jump off the horse, but was caught by Chen Wenbin.

"Yao'er, let's go and have a look." Chen Wenbin hesitated for a while and then said, after all, he and Hehua have been playing together since childhood, so it's fine if we don't meet each other, but now we happen to meet each other, so we can't turn a blind eye like this, right?

Li Yao nodded to Chen Wenbin and let him go.

"Wait for me!" Chen Wenbin walked a few steps and turned to Li Yao.

"Yeah." Li Yao doesn't have any friendship with Hehua, so it's not convenient for her to go there.

"Lotus—" Chen Wenbin walked over and called out.

He Hua raised her head and looked at Chen Wenbin with tears in her eyes. She was taken aback, and said with a sob: "Brother Wenbin—you, why are you here?"

"My daughter-in-law and I went back to her mother's house and were just about to go back."

He Hua looked behind Chen Wenbin and saw Li Yao standing not far away, with a horse beside her.

"What's wrong with you?" Chen Wenbin asked again.

When Chen Wenbin asked, Lotus began to cry again: "Brother Wenbin, my man gambled all the last bit of money in the family, and the whole family still needs to eat and drink. I don't know what to do."

"Lotus, you get up first before we talk." Chen Wenbin said and helped Hehua up.

"Brother Wenbin, you and sister-in-law should go back first, I'm fine." He Hua stood up and wiped away her tears and looked at Li Yao in the distance, not wanting Li Yao to misunderstand her and Chen Wenbin.

"Lotus, is there anything I can do to help you?" Chen Wenbin asked.

Lotus smiled wryly, her man will never change, who can help?
"Brother Wen Bin, thank you, but you can't help with my family's affairs, I'll go back first." After He Hua finished speaking, she walked towards the thatched cottage on the hillside.
