"Uncle Chu, you know that I have always had a good eye." Yuan Buwei said this very well, making both Chu Batian and Lu Sui happy.
"I'll have someone find you two sets of clothes to change into, and then I'll take you for a walk in the front yard." Chu Batian looked at the two of them with emotion, "Looking back half a year ago, I, an outsider, thought that you two had it so hard, but I didn't expect that you two would really make it. I'm really happy for you. Tonight you should relax and vent all the unhappiness in your hearts."
"Uncle Chu, that won't work. We can't gamble."
"Yes, Uncle Chu, we appreciate your kindness, but let's forget about the gambling." Lu Sui echoed Yuan Buwei's words.
"Who told you that gambling was my only activity this month?"
"what?"
Yuan Buwei glanced at Lu Sui before asking, "Do you want to go?"
"Uncle Chu invited us so warmly, so let's go and take a look. Since we are here now, Lu Sui smiled and looked at Uncle Chu. "Uncle Chu, don't you agree?"
"Right, right, now that we're here, I'll take you to the pot-tossing game first. Oh, and there's also the ring-tossing game and the riddle-guessing game... As long as you can make it all the way to the end, the prizes will be very generous."
"Pottery? Ring toss? Isn't this something that can only be found at night markets?"
"Xiao Wei'er, you don't understand this. As long as it's a project that can make money, I, Chu Batian, will not let go of any of them. Let's go!"
It was not until she arrived at the site that Yuan Buwei realized that the attractions here were very different from what she had imagined.
Take the game of pitching a pot for example. With each level, the container will become smaller and smaller. It not only tests one's reaction ability, but sometimes also depends on luck.
Yuan Buwei and Lu Sui both played it several times, but both stopped at the fifth level.
Then they played ring toss.
It turns out that the things in the ring are not just random things, there are not only objects, but even people.
"Uncle Chu, why... why is there someone here?" Yuan Buwei was shocked.
"These people all owed me huge gambling debts, and because they couldn't pay them back, they volunteered to become trap objects." Chu Batian spread his hands, "Xiao Wei'er, you know my character. Although I run a gambling business, I don't like to bully the weak, and I don't like to use these gamblers' families as collateral. By the way, speaking of gambling, Jiang Yuheng came again later, and when Yuan Duo found out, he kicked him out. Later I heard that he went to another gambling house to play. Those black gambling houses will not let people go unless they squeeze them dry. It seems that Jiang Yuheng deceived his sister to pay off his gambling debts."
"what?"
Lu Sui frowned when he heard this.
"What? You want to save someone? Have you forgotten that the Jiang family treats you as a cash cow?" Seeing that Lu Sui looked unhappy, Chu Batian regretted speaking too quickly.
"Uncle Chu, he is not going to save people, but the Jiang family is the young marquis's biological mother's family after all. Moreover, the young marquis just showed up at the palace banquet a few days ago. Those who don't want him to have an easy life, are they trying to find a way to discredit him?"
"Oh, right. Why didn't I think of this question? How about I ask Yuan Duo to find out?"
"Of course we have to find out. Even if we don't save them, we have to know the situation of the Jiang family, so that we won't be picked on by others. If we don't know anything, won't we be at a loss?"
"Hey, Xiao Wei'er, your husband isn't in a hurry at all..."
"Uncle Chu!" Yuan Buwei stomped her feet unhappily.
"Okay, okay, I'll let Yuan Duo check it out now. Hey, tell me, I'm not afraid of anything, but why should I be afraid of a little girl like you?" Chu Batian said this with a smile in his eyes. In fact, he quite enjoyed Yuan Buwei acting coquettishly with him, because he knew that Yuan Buwei truly respected and loved him as an elder.
"Lu Sui, do you want to play again?"
Yuan Buwei looked down at Lu Sui who was in deep thought.
Lu Sui came back to his senses, raised his head and met Yuan Buwei's concerned eyes, smiled bitterly and said: "Awei, I feel like I'm being entangled by the God of Bad Luck. After I pass one hurdle, there is another one waiting for me."
"Then why don't you feel that you are God's favorite? Only by constantly testing you and tempering your will can you become stronger and stronger and use your own strength to protect those who need protection."
"Avi, to be honest, this is the first time I've heard someone explain it this way."
"Because I used to have the same idea as you, and then the senior sister enlightened me that God will give people one test after another. After passing one, another one will be thrown at them. I don't know if you have noticed that if you have overcome the hurdle, you will not encounter it again next time. On the contrary, if you have not overcome the hurdle, you will always encounter it again and again."
Lu Sui lowered his head and thought about it carefully: "It seems to be true, Awei, after hearing what you said, God is really testing me?"
"Well, if thinking this way can make you feel better, that's fine. If you don't believe it, then let's go play something else and let off some steam?"
“I believe it, but I want to play.”
"Then let's go." Yuan Buwei walked behind Lu Sui's wheelchair and pushed him towards the crowd with cheers.
Chu Batian was so scared that he screamed in the back: "Slow down, hey, I said, walk slowly, I have short arms and legs, I can't keep up with you."
As a result of the crazy play, the two were so tired that they collapsed in the rest room.
"I never thought that playing something this fun would be so physically demanding."
"But we did gain something." Yuan Buwei pointed to the pile of spoils on the ground, "Next time, let's bring our second brother over to play."
"Knock down."
There was a knock at the door: "Young Madam, it's me, Jinzhi. I was in the front hall and saw Jiang Weiyu's figure."
Jiang Weiyu?
After Yuan Buwei and Lu Sui looked at each other, they immediately stood up, opened the door, and welcomed Jinzhi in.
"Are you sure it's Jiang Weiyu?"
"To be honest, Madam, this is not the first time he has come here. He came with friends the last few times, but today he came alone. I asked the waiter to keep an eye on him and found that he had bad luck tonight and lost nearly five thousand taels."
"Five thousand?"
Yuan Buwei had some understanding of the Jiang family's financial situation in her previous life, so when she did things outside, she used her own dowry and sometimes even had to give money to the Jiang family.
The most ridiculous thing is that Jiang Weiming always thought that after she married him, she would be his and her dowry would naturally be his too. He also accused her of not knowing how to do business because the profit from running the shop was too little.
And in the current situation, if the Jiang family did not use Yuan Jinse's dowry, then five thousand should be the total amount that the Jiang family can take out from their accounts.
"Since he lost so much money, what does he need to pay it back?"
"Madam, you think too highly of him. He thought five thousand was a small sum, so he borrowed twenty thousand from Yue Shangshao, with a thirty percent interest rate."
