When Niu San saw the three white silver ingots, the greed in his eyes almost overflowed.

"Yes! Of course I do!"

"no!"

"Can't!"

The boy and the woman spoke at the same time.

Just as Niu San was about to reach out to take the silver from the educated youth's hand, he heard the woman and the boy's voices of objection, and immediately became furious.

"Shut up! If you dare to ruin my good deeds, I will beat you to death!"

As he said this, he was about to hit someone again.

Shen Qingqian used the folding fan in her hand to block his outstretched hand and said, "My dear brother, fighting won't solve the problem. How about this, you sell me your wife and son as well, and I'll give you another thirty taels, how about that?"

Before the man could answer, the woman got up from the ground, protecting the two children behind her like chicks, and looked at Shen Qingqian warily: "Who are you? Why did you buy us? My two children are still young, you can't have any ideas about them!"

The woman's hair was disheveled and her expression was embarrassed, but her attitude towards protecting her child was resolute. This is probably what it means to be a mother!

The reason why Shen Qingqian planned to buy this mother and daughter was, firstly, to help them escape from the sea of ​​suffering; secondly, Shen Qingqian also wanted to take in some children, train them from childhood, and use them for her own use when they grew up.

But this woman was obviously afraid of what they would do to the child if she bought it!

No wonder, in this place, there are many children who are sold to brothels or men's love houses, and then they are raised for a few years and then let them serve customers.

The woman must be afraid that Shen Qingqian would buy them and then sell them to that kind of place.

Niu San was also stunned when he heard Shen Qingqian's words. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I can sell this woman and the little girl to you, but not the boy! He is my son, Niu San, and he will carry on the Niu family's bloodline in the future. I can't sell him to you!"

Shen Qingqian never expected that this man would value his son more than money!

"Forty taels!"

Shen Qingqian added more money. She wanted to see whether this man really valued his son or whether the stakes were not big enough.

But the facts have proved that human hearts cannot stand the test and men are easily shaken.

He looked at the boy, then at the silver, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, I'll sell them all!"

Shen Qingqian sneered in her heart. Sure enough, how could such a person have any family affection? In his heart, his son was only worth a few more taels of silver!

The woman was so anxious that she was about to say something else. At this moment, the boy came out from behind her, looked at Shen Qingqian, and said cautiously, "Sir, I want to know, what is your purpose in buying us?"

No matter how the boy looked at Shen Qingqian, she didn't seem like a bad person. He thought that if they could find a good family and work as servants, it would be better than their current life.

Shen Qingqian looked at the boy and felt that he was smarter than his parents. In order to reassure the woman, she lied and said, "I just arrived in the capital and simply want to buy a few servants.

I was planning to go to the pawnshop tomorrow, but I ran into your father trying to sell the children. I am kind-hearted, so I am willing to pay a high price to buy you. It is better to be my person than to be sold to a casino, right? "

"Is this true?"

The boy's eyes were full of hope.

Niu San was almost drooling at the silver in the educated youth's hand, and said impatiently: "Alright, stop talking nonsense! I want to take the silver quickly and win back what I lost before! You guys are dilly-dallying, are you done yet?"

The boy turned to the woman and said, "Mom, let's follow this young master! He is right. Being his servant is better than being sold to a casino to pay off gambling debts."

"Xiaohan, do you believe what he said?"

the woman asked.

Xiaohan nodded heavily and said, "Mom, I believe him!"

Seeing that the matter was almost settled, the educated youth quickly went to find paper and pen and wrote down the indentures of several people.

Niu San quickly signed and pledged, collected the money, and hurried into the casino.

Shen Qingqian asked the educated youth to take the mother and her two children to eat something first, and then find an inn to settle them in. She would take them away after they finished their business.

The educated youth took the order and left with his men, while Shen Qingqian chased Niu San into the casino.

There were quite a lot of people in the casino, and it was filled with smoke and smoke as soon as you entered. Shouts came one after another, and everyone seemed to be excited.

Shen Qingqian soon saw Niu San, and she walked over and stood behind him.

Niu San plays by rolling the dice and guessing the size. This is not difficult and you can basically learn it at a glance. Generally, it all depends on luck.

But if the host cheats, then it is not just a matter of luck.

Niu San guessed correctly in the first three rounds, winning a total of 4 taels and 5 qian of silver, which greatly boosted his confidence. He rolled up his sleeves and bet 3 taels of silver in the fourth round, but... he lost!

Niu San lost the next five games. Sweat broke out on his forehead and he looked a little anxious.

Shen Qingqian patted his shoulder from behind. Niu San turned around and saw that it was her. He was surprised for a moment and asked, "Why are you here?"

Shen Qingqian smiled and said, "I was originally planning to come here to have fun, and buying people from you was just a coincidence."

"Then please do as you please. I don't have time to deal with you now."

After Niu San said this, he anxiously turned his head towards the gambling table and put one or two taels of silver on the "big" side.

He was already feeling a little soft-hearted at this moment, and did not dare to put down three taels of silver at once.

"it is good."

Shen Qingqian replied with one word and put one or two taels of silver next to the word "small".

When the owner took off the cover, the result was "small".

Niu San wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Shen Qingqian again, said nothing, and continued escorting.

Niu San is also an old gambler. He knows that any newcomer here will win two or three times first, which is not surprising.

This time, Niu San bet big again with one tael of silver, and Shen Qingqian bet small with two taels of silver, but the result was still small. Niu Shan lost again, and Shen Qingqian won again.

In the third hand, Niu San bet on small with one tael of silver, and Shen Qingqian bet on big with three taels of silver, and the result was big.

Niu San couldn't help but look at Shen Qingqian again. Shen Qingqian moved closer to him and said, "Brother, we are destined to be together. How about you follow me this time?"

After saying that, Shen Qingqian put five taels of silver on the "small" side, and Niu San also bet on small. It's not that Niu San trusts Shen Qingqian that much, but he originally planned to bet on small this time.

The result is, small!

Niu San finally won again, but this time, Niu San finally felt that Shen Qingqian didn't rely entirely on luck, but was really capable.

Shen Qingqian winked at him and whispered, "Brother, you're right to follow my bet. When we win, how about we go to the next door to have a drink?"

After hearing what she said, Niu San decided to give it a try. He followed Shen Qingqian and placed bets five or six times, and he won every time.

Niu San counted the silver in his hand. In addition to getting back what he had won before, he also had more than ten taels of silver left.
