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

Li Zi's cheerful appearance when he returned home made Chi Niang wonder, "Boss, have you made a fortune? Why are you so happy?"

"Chi Niang, you should go back to your mother's house right away and bring something back. Don't go empty-handed."

Chi Niang was very happy. The head of the family hated going back to her parents' home. Every time she went back to her parents' home to get something, she would be very unhappy. She always said that she always took everything to her parents' home and asked why she had changed her temper today.

"Boss, what's wrong with you today? What's wrong with you?"

Li Zi told Chi Niang what happened today.

"But I don't know anything about him. I'm a married woman, and you don't like me to go back to my parents' home, do you? I don't know much about what's going on in the village, so it's useless for you to ask me.

Li Zi said unhappily, "That's why I told you to go back to your parents' home right away. Your family must know about this."

"Chi Niang, go back and ask carefully, maybe we can make a fortune this time."

The more Li Zi thought about it, the happier he became.

Chi Niang said hesitantly, "Boss, then you give me five taels of silver."

Li Zi stood up immediately, "Wu Liang, what are you going to do?"

"My father is in poor health and has been taking medicine. Last time my brother came to me to borrow money, but you refused to let me and sent him away. I want to take some money back home."

Li Zi looked displeased. Although five taels of silver was not a lot, it was not a small sum either.

My monthly salary is only a little over one tael of silver, and sometimes I get two taels of silver a month. Five taels of silver is almost three months of my salary, and I still feel the pain when I think about it.

Seeing that Li Zi hadn't spoken, Chi Niang remained silent.

"Boss, please say something."

"Five taels of silver is too much. Just take 10 eggs and a pound of meat back with you. Don't even think about the silver."

Chi Niang felt very aggrieved. Although the head of the household was very generous in giving this amount of food compared to before, there were so many people in her mother's family that each person could not get much to eat.

Chi Niang sat on the stool and cried, feeling aggrieved.

Li Zi was upset. Women are troublesome. They can't make a penny, but they have to spend a lot of money. She was very upset and her good mood was gone.

Li Zi yelled, "Are you going or not? If you don't go, you will never be able to return to your parents' home for the rest of your life. When I have money, you will be the first person I will divorce. I'll see if your family will welcome you when you return home."

Chi Niang shuddered at Li Zi's yelling, "Boss, can you give me a little more? This is too little, and I am too embarrassed to go back."

Li Zi was also very angry. "You just want to get more money, but if you get more money, you will have less money at home. Money is so hard to earn now, can't you understand how hard it is for you to earn money?"

"Boss, I am considerate of you, but you are not considerate of me. I am really embarrassed to go back to my parents' home with those things. Why don't you go by yourself? I won't go back."

"Okay, don't regret it yourself, and don't blame me for not wanting to part with my things."

Chi Niang said angrily, "You were reluctant to part with me in the first place. You are a well-known miser. If I had known you were so stingy before I married you, I would have been unwilling to marry you even if I wanted to be your concubine. Look at what you are like."

Li Zi was so angry at Chi Niang that he slammed the door and left.

Chi Niang looked at Li Zi, who was so stingy, and knew that she would not tell you even if she knew the truth. It was your fault for not giving her a penny.

Although Wang Jieba no longer had his gold jewelry, he still had more than one hundred taels of silver on him, and he lived a very happy life.

Now I can eat meat and drink wine every day, and occasionally go to the gambling house to gamble a little.

"Hey, Wang Jieba, you're here again."

"Why, you made a fortune."

Wang Jieba looked at the person who was talking. Isn't this the scoundrel from the next village? He and I have the same name.

"You rascal, if I had money, why would I come here? I only have these five taels of silver. I came here to make a fortune. Do you want to come with me?"

The rascal took a look at the five taels of silver in Wang Jieba's hand.

"You only have five taels of silver and you have the nerve to come here. This is not a place for you. If I were you, I wouldn't even come here with this little silver in my hand."

Wang Jieba was curious. "You rascal, how much silver do you have?"

The scoundrel proudly showed the silver in his hand to Wang Jieba, "Look, do I have more than you?"

The rascal's boastful look made Wang Jieba laugh.

"Hahahahahahahahahaha, I thought you had a lot of silver, but what happened, hahahahahaha."

Wang Jieba laughed again.

"You don't even have 6 taels of silver. You only have 100 copper coins more than me. It's 100 copper coins, not 100 taels of silver. Where did you get the latest money? You are so shameless in front of me."

The rascal felt embarrassed by what Wang Jieba said.

Wang Jieba ignored the ruffian and went straight into the gambling house.

Wang Jieba was really lucky this time. Five taels of silver turned into ten taels of silver in just one afternoon.

Although it’s not much, I’m still very satisfied. It’s enough for me to eat for a few days.

Wang Jieba left with satisfaction.

When he reached the entrance of the alley, he was stopped by a scoundrel, "Where are you going? You only won five taels of silver. What's there to brag about? Let me tell you, I won 10 taels of silver, which is more than you."

Wang Jieba didn't want to deal with the ruffian at all.

However, he kept talking to Wang Jieba, "I heard that your gold jewelry was stolen. I saw you came to the gambling house. I wonder if your 200 taels of silver were stolen."

Wang Jieba's alarm bells went off, but he pretended to be calm and said, "If I still had the 200 taels of silver, I would only bring five taels of silver to the gambling house."

After Wang Jieba finished speaking, he walked over to the ruffian and said, "Didn't you win 10 taels of silver? You are so rich, why don't you lend me 10 taels? After all, we are old acquaintances. I am doing this for your own good. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even be interested in your 10 taels of silver."

When the ruffian heard that Wang Jieba wanted to borrow some silver, his heart trembled. This 15 taels of silver was all his belongings. He was hoping to win the silver and marry a woman.

"You're dreaming. You're so beautiful that I want to break your legs."

As soon as the rascal finished speaking, he ran away, running faster than a dog.

Wang Jieba saw the ruffian's back as he walked away and said, "Coward, I was just saying it casually."

Wang Jieba won the money and happily went to the brothel.

"Hey, Prince, you haven't been here for a long time. Our Xiao Cui misses you very much."

When the madam saw Wang Jieba coming, she seemed happy on the surface, but in fact she was secretly complaining about how poor he was.

"Today I was generous and won some money in Du's gambling house."

Wang Jieba was indeed generous and just threw a copper coin to the madam.

The madam took it happily, thinking it was a large amount of silver, but it turned out to be a copper coin. She was so angry that she ordered someone to throw Wang Jieba out.

Wang Jieba waved ten taels of silver in front of the madam.

The madam swallowed a mouthful of blood and said to Wang Jieba with a smile, "Xiao Cui is waiting for you in the room."

Wang Jieba was very proud. It was true that money makes the world go round.

The madam looked at Wang Jieba's back as he went upstairs and said, "When the day comes that you are left with no money, I will kick you out."

I'll drag you out and feed you to the dogs and see if you're still so proud.

The madam blew a kiss on Wang Jieba's back.
