You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

When Zhao Laosan met Su Chen's gaze, he immediately looked away.

He scratched his neck.

"Nonsense, I'm definitely not cheating!"

"I, I'm just lucky."

"And if I really were to cheat, how could I only make a few hundred? Others make thousands or even tens of thousands every day!"

……

Xu Lin and the others nodded subconsciously when they heard this.

But Su Xiaoyan did not express her opinion.

She looked at Su Chen carefully and saw him folding the hundred yuan slowly. He looked at Zhao Laosan with a playful look and narrowed his eyes.

I am different now.

He wouldn't ask such a question.

I’m afraid... this scam is real.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaoyan looked at Zhao Laosan in surprise.

Zhao Laosan is a well-known lazy man in the town. He is in his forties and unmarried. It is said that he has a good relationship with the two widows in the town. He usually hangs out in the chess and card room. It turns out that Su Xiaoyan thinks he is comparable to Lin Chen before.

but now……

Pooh!

Even though my younger brother is a lazy guy and doesn't care about his family, he never cheats!

That is moral corruption!

Su Chen folded the money again: "Are you sure?"

Zhao Laosan coughed lightly and said loudly: "Nonsense, of course!"

"You know I've been researching talismans recently. There's a kind of talisman called the Mantra Talisman. If you use it, that person will only tell the truth." Su Chen said, looking at Lao Xue, "Do you think we should give it to Zhao Lao San?"

Old Xue nodded repeatedly: "Use it, you must use it!"

After realizing what was happening, he whispered, "Is there really such a talisman?"

After being glared at by Xu Lin, he shrank his neck and dared not say a word.

He didn't dare to speak, but the people around him did.

But he asked Su Xiaoyan: "Xiaoyan, does your brother really have this kind of talisman?"

Su Xiaoyan put her hands on her hips and snorted softly: "Our Ah Chen said yes, so yes, he may be impatient now!"

"If there really is such a talisman, then use it quickly. Didn't Zhao Laosan say he wasn't cheating? Even if he's telling the truth, it's not true. Doesn't this clear up the misunderstanding?"

"Right, right, right. If Zhao Laosan really wants to cheat, we won't play cards with him anymore, so we don't get cheated too."

Someone else asked cautiously:

"Is this talisman... expensive?"

Su Chen raised the corner of his mouth: "Part of today's bill is for my sister, so you don't have to pay for it."

"for me?"

Su Chen nodded: "Sister, the only time you can play cards all year round is during the Chinese New Year. It's okay to win and lose normally, but if someone cheats and always makes you lose, wouldn't you be happy?"

"That's definitely not fun!"

Su Xiaoyan grinned as she spoke: "Achen, you still love me the most."

When she looked at Zhao Laosan, her eyes were full of disgust.

Su Chen raised his hand, drew a talisman in the air, and injected the mantra talisman into Zhao Laosan's body.

"Zhao Laosan, did you cheat?"

As soon as this question was asked, the people who had been hiding at the door to watch the excitement came in in twos and threes, and gathered around curiously to watch.

Now there was no need for Su Chen to stop him, and Zhao Laosan could not sneak away even if he wanted to.

He scratched his head and cheeks, but his mouth remained open.

"Have."

Zhao Laosan: “!!!”

He almost jumped.

This is not!

Not what I said!

He covered his mouth in horror.

Old Xue on the other end of the line suddenly became excited: "Did you hear that? Did you hear that? He admitted it himself. He's cheating. I've lost money playing against him every day these days. I've lost over three thousand. I even lost my child's registration fee! Yesterday, I couldn't believe it, and today I discovered something fishy..."

"what?!"

Xu Lin listened and nodded at first, but then he became furious and grabbed Lao Xue's ear.

"How much did you lose? Over three thousand?!"

Seeing this, Su Xiaoyan shrank her neck.

Although everyone subconsciously plays big during the New Year, she had won and lost over the past few days, and she had only lost fifty or sixty yuan. If it had really been over three thousand...

The sky is falling!

Nowadays, people who work in the city only earn one or two hundred or more than three thousand yuan a month. It takes nearly two years of not eating or drinking to save up that much.

Old Xue is confused!

No wonder, no wonder he brought a kitchen knife to play cards today.

If it were me... I would probably jump into the river.

Su Chen reminded: "Okay, let's solve the problem of Zhao Laosan cheating first."

Upon hearing this, Xu Lin angrily let go of Lao Xue's ear and said viciously, "I'll deal with you when we get back!"

Su Chen continued to ask: "Zhao Laosan, when did you start cheating?"

Zhao Laosan covered his mouth, but found that his hands were not obedient, as if something was pulling his hands down little by little.

"Two years ago."

The crowd was in an uproar.

"so early?"

"So, I played cards with him a few times a year ago, and all the money I lost was ripped off by him?"

"Don't say anything, hold him down, I won't kill him today! He even dares to trick me!"

……

Zhao Laosan retreated repeatedly and returned to the corner again.

But this time, it wasn't just Lao Xue who surrounded him, but also a group of his fellow card players.

"Listen to me, listen to me. I haven't been cheating all along. Really, I'm afraid of being discovered."

"I, I only show up when I encounter someone with bad eyesight, a bad temper, or a stupid brain."

Lao Xue: “!!!”

"He also called us stupid, beat him up!"

Everyone rushed forward.

"Ahhh~"

Zhao Laosan's screams were endless.

Su Xiaoyan cursed inwardly: "Serves you right!"

Then he blinked and touched his chin: "Ah Chen, your sister's eyesight isn't that bad, right? She's not stupid either, is she? Her temper..."

Su Chen knew what she wanted to ask and smiled: "Even if you are not the target, as long as you have money, there are ways to set up a trap to take your money."

“…Ah? Is this true?”

Su Chen stood up and said, "Why do you think those who came back from working during the Spring Festival, with their wallets bulging before the New Year, left in disgrace after the New Year?"

"Oh, yeah. Many people in this town used to work and lost everything gambling."

"Fortunately, your brother-in-law doesn't like playing cards or gambling, he just likes drinking, otherwise his little belongings would probably have been ripped off."

Su Chen glanced at the corner of the wall.

Zhao Laosan's screams were much quieter now.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

However, they had no intention of letting Zhao Laosan go, so two strong men dragged him to the police station.

Su Chen and Su Xiaoyan followed him out. Seeing that Su Xiaoyan wanted to follow to watch the fun, Su Chen stopped her.

"Sister, don't go. Have you eaten yet?"

"I'm not hungry." Su Xiaoyan said this, but still pulled Su Chen towards her home. During the walk, she couldn't help but turned her head and looked twice, sighing: "I think we should not play cards in the future. It's really hard to guard against cheating."

"Don't worry, just don't play too big. Two or five points. Even if you lose big, it's only ten or twenty."

Su Xiaoyan smiled and said, "That's right."

Then he asked, "By the way, Ah Chen, what are you talking about with me? Are you talking about the birthday party the day after tomorrow?"

"Don't worry, your brother-in-law has already told everyone about the ingredients."

Su Chen nodded: "Sister, I think we need to prepare more ingredients..."

"Don't worry, there are plenty."

"No, I mean, add five more tables."

Su Xiaoyan stopped and asked: "So many?"

"Well, a few friends I know found out and wanted to come join in the fun."

"But there aren't fifty people, right? We don't need five tables..."

"Be prepared. It's better to be prepared."

"Okay then. I'll go find your brother-in-law later and ask him to tell someone."

"it is good."

After entering the house, Su Xiaoyan rolled up her sleeves and started to cook instant noodles for Su Chen: "Achen, eat this noodles, it's so fragrant and delicious."
