"No, not many..."

"How much is 'not much'?!"

"Dongzi, I, I..."

As Qin Min spoke, he picked up his wine glass and drank.

I wanted to use alcohol to bolster my courage, but the alcohol in my glass kept trembling.

"Hey, brother-in-law, why are you so nervous?"

"It's just the two of us men drinking here, is it really necessary for you to act like this?"

Chen Dong relaxed his body and looked at Qin Min with a half-smile.

Qin Min chuckled twice, trying to relax like Chen Dong.

Little did he know how stiff his expression looked to Chen Dong!

"Dongzi, I..."

"Brother-in-law, we're family, what can't we talk about?"

"Don't you know who I am?"

"We're all men, I understand what you're thinking."

"You only took this risk because you wanted my sister to have a better life."

"Everyone has some pressure, right?"

Chen Dong poured himself and Qin Min a full glass of wine and clinked glasses again.

Qin Min looked at Chen Dong, as if searching for something.

Searching for the truth in his words is like making a decision.

He downed a glass of wine, and after a long while, he let out a heavy sigh.

"Dongzi, I'm sorry to your sister, and I'm sorry to you too!"

Qin Min's eyes were red.

"Two months later, I owe a full 60,000!"

When Qin Min said the number, he felt a great sense of relief.

Chen Dong squinted and didn't say anything more.

Sixty thousand is a huge sum of money for an ordinary family!

Even in the 21st century, many migrant workers who work hard all year round may not be able to save 60,000 yuan.

Besides, it's still the early 1990s.

That's an astronomical figure.

No wonder this guy would risk his life to smuggle tobacco.

"You borrowed eight thousand yuan from my dad just to pay off your gambling debts, right?"

"Um…"

Qin Min continued drinking in silence, having nothing more to hide.

How much time are they giving you?

"Three, three days. If I can't pay back the first sum of money, they're going to cripple me..."

The more Qin Min talked, the more frightened he became.

Chen Dong listened quietly, thinking to himself, "Wouldn't it be better to cripple you?"

He certainly had no intention of helping Qin Min.

I was just thinking about how to avoid involving my family...

Finally, Chen Dong decided to wait a little longer.

We'll dig out the mistress he's keeping, and then punish her for all her crimes, forcing her to divorce him.

As for what happens to him afterward, that's none of my business!

"Brother-in-law, I'm not trying to be mean, but..."

Do you think you can hide all of this?

"We're both men, so there are some things I can't say."

"But my sister is with you, she can't suffer!"

"Do you know how heartbroken my sister would be if she found out?"

"Do you know how much your dad values ​​you?!"

"If he found out, he'd be so angry he'd be hospitalized!"

"You, what can I even say to you!"

Chen Dong spoke with righteous indignation; anyone unaware of the situation would probably applaud him.

Whether it was from drinking too much or from being moved by what Chen Dong said, Qin Min burst into tears.

"Dongzi, I...I'm an animal! I'm not human!"

"I'm so sorry to your sister, so sorry to our family!"

Qin Min became more and more agitated as he spoke, and slapped himself twice.

"I swear, I'll never gamble again!"

"If you gamble again, I'll chop off my own hand!"

Qin Min raised his right hand and swore a solemn oath.

Chen Dong didn't stop him; for someone like him, this punishment was hardly enough to quell his anger.

"Brother-in-law, swearing an oath is useless."

"It depends on whether you have the will to quit."

"How about this, I'll keep the money you won today."

"Consider it as me keeping it safe for my eldest sister."

"I'll help you figure out a way to solve your debts."

"This..." Qin Min hesitated.

You want to help me figure something out? You're just a high school student who hasn't even started working yet, what kind of solutions do you have?!

He's really lucky today.

In less than half an hour, I won more than two thousand.

This was also the luckiest he'd had in the last two months.

I originally planned to use this money to make a profit.

But unexpectedly, he ran into Chen Dong.

Qin Min was extremely unwilling to have his money taken away now.

"What, brother-in-law, are you going back on your word?"

Chen Dong's face darkened.

"You still want to use this money to gamble?"

"If that's really the case, then we'll part ways, and you can pretend I was never here."

Upon hearing this, Qin Min's heart skipped a beat.

He knew that if he didn't give Chen Dong the money today, Chen Dong might actually expose his gambling.

Aside from the divorce, the most important thing is that his job at the tobacco bureau is in jeopardy!

"No, no, no, Dongzi, what are you talking about? Why would I gamble again!"

After weighing the pros and cons, Qin Min quickly pulled out a thick wad of banknotes from his pocket, with varying denominations, and piled them all in front of Chen Dong.

Chen Dong didn't stand on ceremony and stuffed it into his pocket.

Hehe, I got two thousand yuan for free!

"Dongzi, do you have any way to help your brother-in-law?"

"You only have three days. If you don't pay back the money, they'll come knocking on your door."

"I don't care if I get hit or scolded, but if your sister or our parents are gossiped about, then... then what will we do!"

Qin Min gripped Chen Dong's hand tightly, his heart filled with increasing fear.

But he didn't expect Chen Dong to have any way to help him pay off the 60,000 yuan.

As long as we can help him get through this period without his family finding out or his workplace knowing.

As for the future, we'll figure out a solution later.

Chen Dong let out a cold laugh.

How could he not know Qin Min's ulterior motives?

"Brother-in-law, you're in such a state, and you're still thinking about your family?"

"How about this, I'll give you an idea."

Qin Min looked at him suspiciously: "What idea?"

"Aren't you the deputy head of the sales department?"

"Use some tricks to get the tobacco out and sell it to those big bosses."

Upon hearing this, Qin Min's pupils dilated and he shook his head violently.

"No, no!"

"This...this is going to cost you your head! Dongzi, you..."

Qin Min was rambling incoherently, but Chen Dong could tell that he was somewhat tempted.

"Hey, where were we? I don't remember anything."

"Oh dear, I drank a bit too much and forgot about it."

Chen Dong's lips curled up slightly as he stood up from his seat.

"I have to go home, I still have homework to do."

Watching Chen Dong's departing figure, Qin Min felt as if he had been manipulated.

This feeling made him very uncomfortable!

But I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong.

As he got up to leave, the waiter immediately came over and gave him a bill.

"Hello, please settle the bill. The total is 125 yuan."

"How much...how much?!"

Qin Min was startled; could the food here really be this expensive?!

"You ordered braised pork, king coriander, black-boned chicken and turtle soup, sweet and sour pork ribs, and steamed fish..."

Qin Min instinctively wanted to run out the door and call out to Chen Dong, but was immediately blocked by two or three waiters.

Left with no other option, Qin Min had to search his person thoroughly.

It took a lot of effort to gather enough people before we could leave the store.

But this money was obtained by him and his mistress!

I was planning to win a little and leave, but who would have thought I'd run into this little rascal Chen Dong!

What a bad luck!
