A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 856 Fighting Landlords

"No."

Lyon actively opposed Abigail's idea.

"Last time, they were drunk and stayed because of a special matter. Today, the two girls didn't drink, and we're not married yet. It wouldn't look good if two young girls were living with a single man. I think I can drive them back and leave the car keys with them. This way, they won't have to make an extra trip tomorrow and it also protects the girls' reputation."

Men's minds actually work very quickly at certain times, like now.

Abigail was stunned by Leon's self-righteous and reasonable explanation and analysis.

But she came to her senses after a moment. After all, Leon's smug face and ambiguous eyes revealed too much. No matter how high-sounding Leon's words were, his little thoughts were still obvious.

Although Abigail admired Leon's sense of propriety, she was afraid that she would suffer if Sofia and Scarlett left. In order to have a peaceful night, Abigail did not hesitate.

"Let's not talk about Sofia staying in the guest room. Don't forget, she's still your sister. It makes perfect sense for her to stay here. Not to mention, how can a girls' night be complete without drinks? As you said, special occasions are special. If they've had too much to drink, of course we have to leave them here to rest."

"Drinking is harmful to your health." Lyon advised earnestly.

"It's more harmful to stay with you." Abigail rolled her eyes at Leon.

"Have you decided?" Seeing Abigail's unwilling look, Leon asked without giving up.

"It's decided." Abigail nodded.

"Okay, but I'll leave the door open for you. It's still too crowded for three people to sleep together. It's very uncomfortable. If you're not used to it, remember to come back early. At worst, we can just sleep in tonight."

Seeing Abigail's firm attitude, Leon had no choice but to compromise, but he did not forget to leave a way out for Abigail.

"Let's talk about it then."

When Abigail heard Leon say that he would not mess around at night, she actually wanted to cancel the girls' night. Although Leon was not very honest at times, his credibility was still very high after his statement.

But the words were already out, and Abigail was too embarrassed to change them, so she could only give a vague and perfunctory answer.

"What are you talking about?"

As soon as the conversation here was over, Sophia trotted to the sofa, took off her shoes, sat cross-legged next to Leon and asked.

Scarlett sat on the single sofa next to the sofa a little stiffly, but she also wanted to join in the conversation.

"Let's talk about tonight. I plan to sleep with you guys. We can drink and chat, and maybe even have a pillow fight." Abigail explained first.

"Girls' night?" Scarlett immediately understood Abigail's plan.

"Yes." Abigail nodded in confirmation.

Sophia was also very happy to hear this. After all, if that was the case, maybe she wouldn't need to wear earplugs at night. Fortunately, she made a pair of them before coming here, but now it seems that they are useless.

"So what do we do now?" Scarlett asked.

"Well, why don't we just go up and start? I've prepared a lot of snacks," Abigail suggested.

"It's too early. How about we play something else now? After all, Leon will probably be bored if we start now." Sophia looked at Leon and couldn't bear to abandon him like this.

"But there's nothing to play with at home. I can't take you out to visit the farm or catch fireflies." Abigail also felt it was too early, but she couldn't think of any entertainment plan for the moment.

"How about playing cards? Four of us can play bridge." Scarlett thought of the new playing cards she had unopened in her suitcase.

"I don't know how." Lyon, who had been listening, raised his hand and said helplessly.

"You don't know how to play cards? Leon, have you never played cards before?" Sophia looked at Leon in shock. After all, she had never seen a young person who couldn't play bridge. "What about Texas Hold'em? Four people can play it." "Not really." Leon continued to shake his head. "I only know how to play Landlord."

"Dou Dizhu?" Now it was Abigail, Sophia and Scarlett's turn to be confused.

"Yeah, Landlord."

Lyon briefly explained how to play Landlord, the kind played by four people with two decks of cards.

After listening to Leon's explanation, the three girls became interested.

“That sounds easy enough.”

"Yeah, and it looks very interesting."

"Working together as three against one, it feels like a real test of coordination."

Seeing this, Leon tentatively said, "How about playing a couple of games first, if you're willing?"

"I'll get the cards." Scarlett glanced at Abigail and Sophia, and seeing that neither of them refused, she immediately got up and went upstairs to find the suitcase that had been placed in the guest room, and brought back two decks of cards.

"Luckily I brought a spare deck, which just made up enough for two decks."

"Let me take it apart and clean it, and show you how to use the landlord card and identity card."

Leon reached out to take the cards, and skillfully opened the box and shuffled them.

After taking out eight landlord cards at an irregular pace, he turned over the top card of the deck as the landlord's identity card, and then turned clockwise and handed the deck in his hand to Sophia, who was sitting on his right, indicating that she should take the cards.

After Sophia held the cards, Leon began to draw cards while reminding the one on his left to draw cards.

Although the number of cards in hand was much larger than in bridge, it was not the first time for the three girls to play cards. After imitating Leon's way of holding the cards and learning how to hold the cards without any instruction, they did not create any embarrassing situations where they could not hold the cards in their hands.

When Sophia got the landlord card, she immediately made a bitter face and muttered, "Do I want a pair of three?"

"It's okay, Teaching Bureau, don't panic."

Lyon smiled and comforted them. After all the cards were drawn, he signaled everyone to show their cards. Then he began to teach and gave a systematic teaching on how to cooperate with the farmers.

The girls were also very smart. After the first hand, they fully understood the way and rules of playing cards, as well as the relationship between the upper and lower doors and the middle door guards, and immediately clamored to officially start the game.

Although the first hand was a teaching round, Sophia, as the landlord, had too many single cards and only had one imp in her hand, so she was easily killed by the peasant. This made Sophia feel that the landlord might be the most unlucky character in this kind of poker game.

But fortunately, it was the Teaching Bureau, so they were not too angry. Instead, a clever idea came to their mind.

While Lyon was shuffling the cards, Sophia found two bottles of wine in the kitchen as if she was familiar with them. Although they were not the top-quality ones that came in gift boxes, they were also good aged wines. They were gifts that Sophia brought specially after receiving Abigail's invitation.

"Just playing cards is boring, let's drink. If the landlord loses, he drinks three cups. If the landlord wins, all three farmers have to drink one cup. How about that?"

After hearing Sophia's proposal, Scarlett was the first to raise her hand in agreement.

Abigail also agreed to this proposal after thinking about it. The situation was 3 to 1, and it seemed meaningless for Leon to refuse. He could only smile and nod, but added: "Three cups is too much. If the landlord is unlucky, he may fall after two cards. That would be meaningless. How about this, the peasants take half a cup and the landlord a full cup?"

"Okay." The three women did not refuse this proposal. After all, it was still early, and it would be too boring if the game ended too early.
