After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes
Chapter 495: Daughter Reborn After Mother's Divorce (Part 10)
Everyone says that nine out of ten gamblers lose, but as long as you control your greed, know when to quit while you're ahead, and don't stubbornly persist when you're losing, you're unlikely to lose.
That's exactly what Zhang Chengrong is doing now. She has to support her family, so she has to plan things out carefully.
After winning over a thousand yuan in a row, and then losing two more hands, Zhang Chengrong looked at the cards in her hand and started to have some doubts.
"Two...80,000..."
As she watched her opponent dwindle the cards on the table, Zhang Chengrong kicked the man next to her furiously from under the table.
"Help! Brother Yang, hurry up and draw a card to let us draw, otherwise all my work tonight will have been for nothing!"
Yang Wenjie felt the pain in his shin from the kick, and felt utterly helpless. "No matter how much you kick me, I don't know which card you want," he thought. Sigh...
Ah Rong always wants to cheat like others, but she doesn't know how. Could you at least give her a gesture or a hint?
To get the cards Zhang Chengrong wanted, Yang Wenjie looked at his scattered hand and secretly groaned, knowing he was going to lose again today.
They had already bid, but now they've ruined it all themselves.
"Nine of Bamboo!" He gritted his teeth and played one of the two tiles. If it wasn't this one, he would have no choice but to admit defeat.
Seeing the long-awaited and much-anticipated Nine of Bamboo, Zhang Chengrong excitedly shouted, "Pong! Discard the Five of Characters! I'm calling! Hahaha..."
"Pong! I called too, but you didn't. Your hand looks pretty intimidating."
"Cheng Rong, you've been having a really good run of luck at cards lately," Zhang Cheng Rong's opponent said, beaming with joy.
"We got divorced. Before we got divorced, Li Nangu had me completely under his thumb. But now that we're divorced, my luck has turned around, hasn't it?"
Looking at the cards in her hand, Zhang Chengrong was so excited that she danced around, shouting that she had won and that she had to quit after this round.
"Touch 20,000~ It looks like Li Nan is about to turn things around, it's not worth it for you to divorce him now."
"Exactly, exactly. You stood by him when he was dirt poor, and now he's doing incredibly well in this county town, but you've divorced him. Aren't you just giving the opportunity to another woman?"
"Alright, alright, you're all just making a fuss. Even if they hadn't divorced before, look at how well Arong has fared." Yang Wenjie quickly came to her rescue when he saw that Zhang Chengrong was so upset that she couldn't even be happy when she got a good hand.
"Hu! A big pair! Those who owe money, hurry up and pay up, I have change." Zhang Chengrong pushed the cards aside and urged everyone to pay up with a smile.
"Just play one more game and then pay. I'll pay you back regardless of whether I win or lose the next game. What's the rush?"
"That won't do. I'm already heartbroken in love, and the casino can't let me suffer the same fate."
After hearing Zhang Chengrong's words, everyone felt a little embarrassed to keep trying to cheat, so they had no choice but to obediently pay up.
Zhang Chengrong counted the money in her hand, made way for him and said, "I'm not in the mood to play now. Who wants to play? Come and fill in for me."
"Seriously? You think you can just leave after winning money? We losers haven't even said anything yet."
"Who told you to bring up my divorce? I'm not in the mood right now, and besides, I have two daughters at home, so I need to go back and take care of them."
Seeing that she was using the joke she had just made to shut them up, no one dared to ask her to stay any longer.
When Yang Wenjie saw that Arong was about to leave, he also said that he would stop fighting.
As they walked out one after the other, the people behind them began to gossip about the two of them.
"Is Wenjie perhaps interested in Zhang Chengrong?"
"Isn't that obvious?"
"He's divorced?"
"I heard they divorced a long time ago. His ex-girlfriend couldn't stand his idle ways, so she found someone else," someone who knew the inside story explained to everyone.
"I don't think Lao Yang likes his ex-wife either, otherwise why would she always be out and about and never come home?"
"He must have his eye on Zhang Chengrong. Ever since he found out that Zhang Chengrong was getting a divorce, look how eager he's been in front of her."
Some people expressed doubt, saying, "Really? I remember Old Yang is quite a bit younger than Zhang Chengrong."
"Why is that impossible? Zhang Chengrong is already thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, but she still looks like she's in her twenties. Good-looking people always get preferential treatment."
One man was surprised by Zhang Chengrong's age, and then said with great certainty, "Zhang Chengrong is 38? Old Yang definitely wouldn't be interested in her. No matter what, Old Yang is a city person, and his family is quite well-off in the county. How could he possibly be interested in someone five years older than him?"
Yang Wenjie is handsome and has good qualities, so how could he possibly be interested in a woman who has given birth to four children?
His family is rich and powerful, why wouldn't he go after a young and beautiful woman? What could he possibly gain from an older woman?
The two of them left the scene. I wonder what people will say about them afterward?
As she walked, Zhang Chengrong put the money into her pocket, planning to count it slowly when she got home. She dared not openly carry money in her hand on the street now.
Zhang Chengrong looked at the man following behind her. The man was not tall, about 1.78 meters, and walked with a slight sway.
Cheng Rong stopped and asked Yang Wenjie curiously, "What's wrong? You don't want to fight anymore either?"
Yang Wenjie casually said, "I'm not playing anymore. I'm tired of playing mahjong every day. I had my fun today and I don't want to play anymore."
Although Yang Wenjie is an adult, his voice is very clear and crisp. If you didn't see his face, you would think he was a teenager.
Cheng Rong casually asked, "Do you want to go home now? Or do you have other plans?" Most of these people like to have fun, and since they have family members to support them, they don't have the pressure of supporting their families when they have fun.
"And you? Where are you going? To a karaoke bar or home?" Yang Wenjie didn't answer, but instead asked in return.
"I can't be willful anymore. Going out costs a lot of money. I have to support my family now, so I can't afford to play around." Cheng Rong didn't feel that there was any difference between being divorced and not being divorced.
But when she thought about how the future of her two children would be in her hands, Cheng Rong dared not indulge her playful nature.
Cheng Rong's ability to associate with these gambling and gambling enthusiasts is quite an achievement.
The fact that they're all mixed together actually shows that they have something in common; it's just a matter of where their bottom line is.
"If you go out with me, would I let you spend money? Don't worry, it's on me." His main reason was that he wanted to spend more time with Arong.
Free? That's a tempting offer! Cheng Rong thought to herself, if she didn't go, wouldn't she be wasting this great opportunity? Wasting it would be a loss!
So, she deliberately feigned nonchalance, glanced at her watch, and said, "Hmm... it's still quite early~"
Actually, she had been eagerly wanting to agree for a long time.
Then, Cheng Rong changed the subject, pretending to be relaxed, and said, "However, I recently got divorced and I'm not in a good mood. This is a good opportunity to go out and have some fun, just to clear my head."
Her tone revealed a hint of helplessness and sadness, but also a touch of expectation.
After speaking, Cheng Rong smiled and looked at Yang Wenjie, nodding slightly to signal him to lead the way.
Since he was the one treating, he naturally had to decide where to go.
