After the marriage was broken off, the husband's family regretted it

This time Luo Jiang tasted the sweetness and won fifty taels of silver in one go.

Li Peng happily patted Luo Jiang on the shoulder and said, "How is it, brother? Is it a quick money-making game? I also won dozens of taels of silver in my first game. I'm not afraid to know that the first time I ran out of money, I embezzled the money on the books."

"At that time, I was timid and embezzled a small amount, just five taels of silver. I heard that the money in their gambling house was not only fast, but also very exciting. I thought I would give it a try, so I embezzled five taels of silver. At that time, the idea was simple. Five taels, even if I lost, I could still pay it back."

"Good boy, I won fifty taels on my first try."

"Luo Jianli immediately asked, what about the back, how are you doing?"

"Of course there will be winners and losers in the end. Anyway, this kind of thing is unpredictable. Sometimes it depends on luck."

The two exchanged greetings for a while and then went back.

As soon as Luo Jiang got home, he immediately found Lihua and said, "Mom, I'm back. Look what these are."

"Silver, son, where did you get so much silver? There must be at least several dozen taels here."

"Mother, here is fifty taels of silver. Fifty taels, if we are a little more frugal and don't spend money recklessly, it will be enough to cover our expenses in the capital this year. I can save all the money I earn this year."

“Yes, you can save them all.”

Lihua said happily.

Lihua thought something was wrong, "Son, your job as an accountant doesn't pay that much money. Isn't it one or two taels of silver? How come you brought back so much? Where did you get the money?"

"You are not robbing people, or stealing their money."

"Mother, this is the money I won from the gambling house. I borrowed five taels from someone to gamble, and I almost forgot to return the five taels to him. You take the forty-five taels, and I'll take the two taels. I'll return it to him."

Lihua was stunned. "Son, what did your cheap father tell you before? Didn't he tell you not to go to the gambling house? But you ignored my words, didn't you? What I said doesn't work anymore, right?"

Luo Jiang felt very aggrieved. "Mom, isn't this for the sake of our family? Look at our little family, we have nothing, and you are now as thin as a paper man. I just want to make more money."

"Who took you to the gambling house? It couldn't be the young man Li Peng who helped you move."

"Mother, you are really amazing. Even he lent me five taels of silver."

Lihua was also helpless. Her son used to be a rich young man, but now he would do anything for a few taels of silver.

After carrying heavy bags and doing odd jobs, he now works as an accountant in an accounting office, which is a very good job. It still costs a lot of money to get into this kind of job.

"Alright, I'll let bygones be bygones for what happened today. You're not allowed to go to the gambling house anymore. Li Peng, stay away from me. You can't make close friends with this guy. Now that we have no money, we can find other ways to earn it."

"Son, if we have money, we should spend more, if we don't have money, we should spend less. Mother won't suffer. It's okay to suffer a little, but you can't gamble."

Luo Jiang felt very aggrieved, but he was afraid of suffering. He couldn't bear the suffering anymore and was afraid of poverty. He wanted to go back to the life he had lived in the county government.

I just want to live a better life. What have I done wrong?

Luo Jiang didn't dare to say anything. He agreed in front of Lihua that he would never go there again.

Luo Jiang was indeed quiet for many days, but Li Peng, who was beside him, often went in and out of the gambling house. Although he won and lost, he really won in general. Every time he came back, you could tell from his expression whether he won or lost money.

Every time I win, I treat myself out to some snacks and some drinks.

"Brother, to be honest with you, I won 100 taels of silver this month, which is enough for me to marry a wife."

"My mother has already arranged a marriage for me. I will be getting married next month. You can come to my wedding. I am so excited just thinking about it. I can win so much money. If I save it all my life, how long will it take me?"

Li Peng became more and more excited as he spoke. Luo Jiang, who was watching from the side, felt his teeth and hands itching, and he really wanted to go again.

After a few days, Luo Jiang could no longer control his emotions and went to see Li Peng again.

"Li Peng, lend me some money and take me with you. Go and give me courage. What do you think? I also want to make some money. I want to buy a house in the city and find a wife for myself."

"This way my mother can also live a good life. My mother has suffered so much."

Li Peng looked at Luo Jiang, "Didn't you say your mother wouldn't allow you to go to that kind of place?"

"Yes, my mother won't allow me to do that. If I win money, what can she say? She's just afraid that I'll lose money. You know that our family doesn't have money right now. When I make money, my mother won't say anything."

"Think it over carefully and don't regret it. You will blame me later and say that I took you there."

"Don't worry, I don't blame you."

After work, the two went to the gambling house together again.

It was fine at the beginning, Luo Jiang kept winning, and when he won fifty taels of silver, he was planning to stop, but when he thought about the fact that Li Peng had won 100 taels of silver, he felt that he was still doing well.

As a result, he started gambling again. Within an hour, after losing 100 taels of silver, he borrowed another taels of silver from the gambling house to continue gambling.

Li Peng saw that Luo Jiang was in a trance and quickly pulled Luo Jiang away. "Hurry up and stop gambling. You have already borrowed 200 taels of silver from the gambling house. Stop gambling."

Luo Jiang was so frustrated at this time that he didn't stop until he was utterly disoriented after being slapped several times by Li Peng.
