A car accident, our family of three crossed

Considering this kind of emergency, most people still choose to side with Hang Shuheng, a poor student, and believe that between the two, if someone really would fall into the above hypothetical situation, the possibility of Hang Shuheng being the one would be greater.

Hang Shuheng didn't care what others thought. He was more concerned about how much Wang Jin bought.

"Twenty taels."

"Only twenty taels? You're buying so little?"

Wang Jin was silent for a long time. He didn’t want to talk anymore. It was too heartbreaking. He was not that rich, okay?

To buy twenty taels of silver was almost like putting all their family belongings on the line.

Moreover, if he won the bet of twenty taels, he could win back one hundred taels, which was a lot. He could buy land and build a house in the village, and build a decent yard. He would also have some spare money in his hand, which was enough to live a worry-free life for many years.

Hang Shuheng quickly reacted and asked, "Are you short of money?"

After saying that, he directly slapped a hundred-liang silver note in front of Wang Jin and said generously: "Twenty liang, who are you looking down on? This hundred liang is the capital I lend you, you can pledge it all."

Wang Jin looked at the one hundred taels of silver in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitched constantly, and he was a little hesitant. If he took this one hundred taels, the pressure would be great.

"You can get rich by taking risks, right?" Hang Shuheng deliberately provoked him, "Why? You don't dare? Or do you not trust me? Are you afraid that you can't afford to pay back if you lose?"

Wang Jin was provoked by his words and immediately became angry. He slapped the banknote heavily with his palm and said, "Why not? Please lend me a pen and paper so I can write an IOU."

After writing the IOU, Wang Jin blew away the ink, feeling a bit complicated. He had only written two IOUs in his life, and the creditor was the same person both times.

Looking back, it was because of a promissory note that they had more interactions later and established the friendship they have today.

Otherwise, what connection could there be between a constable and a prisoner who was caught and imprisoned?

After Wang Jin returned to the county town that day, he took the 100 taels of silver note and went directly to the gambling house. He placed his bet without hesitation and left.

After Wang Jin left, Hang Shuheng rested his chin in his hand and thought for a long time. He was wondering whether he should also try betting a few times.

He turned his eyes and locked them on Song Ning.

Song Ning, who was sitting in a rocking chair reading a book, seemed to sense something and turned to look at him, wondering, "What's wrong?"

He grinned and shrugged, "Nothing."

She definitely doesn't like him going to places like casinos, so if that's the case, then forget it!

Anyway, the family is not short of money, so I won't be greedy for those petty profits. It's not worth making my wife unhappy for that little bit of money.

Song Ning looked at him puzzledly for a while, and seeing that he seemed to be really fine, he turned his gaze back to the book.

The day to enter the examination hall soon arrived, and all students had to enter the examination hall one day in advance.

The day before departure, Song Ning packed the things that Hang Shuheng was going to bring to the examination hall.

Now that spring has arrived, the weather has become warmer, but the temperature difference between morning and night is still large, so we need to prepare warm weather items.

I heard that when entering the examination hall, in order to prevent cheating, all the students' belongings brought into the examination hall will be carefully checked inside and out.

It is said that someone once hid a note in his cotton-padded jacket, and was expelled from the examination hall after being discovered. After that, the government began to check the cotton-padded jackets worn by students particularly carefully.

Sometimes they even take the cotton-padded jacket open for inspection, and in that case, a good cotton-padded jacket will be ruined.

So she prepared a fur coat for him, which had no interlayers and could avoid being picked open for inspection.

Besides, a fur coat is much warmer than a cotton coat, so he doesn't have to worry about catching a cold when he stays in it for a few days.

As for food, she took convenience into consideration and prepared some dried noodles, dried meat, some rice, a jar of canned dried fish, a jar of canned meat, and a jar of fried sauce for him.

In addition, there is a small stove and a mini deep pot that can be used to cook noodle soup or rice. With these, he can also eat a hot meal in it.

Fortunately, these things don’t take up much space and can be put into a backpack just right.

On the day of departure, early in the morning, almost all the villagers of Shangtang Village came out, temporarily putting down their work and coming to see Hang Shuheng off.

The old clan leader and the village head even got on the carriage together and sent Hang Shuheng directly to the outside of the examination hall in the county.

Outside the examination hall, it was bustling with people, and many people were already crowding at the entrance waiting to be inspected and enter the examination hall.

Hang Shuheng held his forehead with his hand. He had said that we couldn’t come too early. If we came too early, we wouldn’t be able to get in and we would have to wait.

But these two were in a hurry to get him out, fearing that he would be delayed for a moment. Even when he arrived here, the two elders urged him to get off the carriage and line up in front.

"Uncle, Uncle Village Chief, can we not be in a hurry? Look, there are so many people here. I can't squeeze in even if I want to. How about we go somewhere to drink some tea and wait until there are fewer people? Maybe we can have lunch first and then go in."

"It's already this late, and you're still thinking about eating and drinking." The old clan leader glared at the young man. The more he looked at him, the less reliable he seemed. "Let's just wait here."

Hang Shuheng had no choice but to compromise, but just sitting in the carriage was quite boring.

At this moment, Zhou Yin's voice came from outside the carriage, "Hang Tongsheng."

Hang Shuheng simply hung up the car curtain and talked to the people outside, "Brother Zhou Yin, why are you here?"

Zhou Yin bowed and said, "The shopkeeper has reserved a table at the teahouse opposite and asked me to come over and invite you all to sit down and rest."

Hang Shuheng paused when he heard this and glanced to the side. He did want to do it, but he was being watched closely by these two!

Zhou Yin saw his look and immediately understood what he meant. He turned to the old clan leader and the village head and said, "Don't worry, it's still early! With so many people, it will take at least a few hours. You can see the situation in the examination hall at the teahouse opposite. When there are fewer people, you can come over at any time."

Hang Shuheng spread his hands and said, "I told you! We came too early. It's useless to just wait here. Since Shopkeeper Zhou has invited us so kindly, why don't we go over and have a seat?"

It was really hard for these two people. They came to wake him up before dawn. After a whole morning of trouble, they came here only to wait.

The old clan leader and the village head looked at each other. Manager Zhou had already sent someone to invite them, so it would be bad if they refused.

After thinking for a moment, he readily agreed and was taken to the teahouse by Zhou Yin.
