The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

Today happened to be market day, so Yin Baicai got up very early.

After finishing breakfast, she covered the birthmark on her hand in the same way, picked up the bamboo woven football she had made for Li Mo, and went out.

He planned to go to the gambling den in town today to earn some money, and also to check on how Hongxilou's business was going.

Along the way, I saw villagers carrying things to sell in town.

These people set off early in order to grab a better stall; if they arrived late, the stalls would all be taken.

When it comes to selling things, the location of the stall is still very important.

Fearing that delivering the items to Li Mo would reveal Li Mo's intention to go to town, Yin Baicai left the items at the door and left.

On the way, they ran into Zhang Cui, whom they had met last time while fetching water. "Brother Cai, are you alright? I went back to my parents' house these past two days, and as soon as I got back, I heard about how your house was robbed by Tian Hunzi."

"Aunt Zhang, it's alright. Luckily, Uncle Maoshan caught the man at home, otherwise I would have been in danger on my own."

Zhang Cui said worriedly, "Yes, you should get your house repaired as soon as possible. That way, if anything happens to you, we can all help you. If you continue to live at the end of the village, it will be too late by the time we get there."

"Almost there, almost there. Aunt Zhang, what are you going to town to buy?"

"I'm going to buy some noodles. We've run out of food at home. My son eats two big steamed buns in one meal!"

The two chatted and laughed all the way, which made Yin Baicai feel that the journey to town was not so far.

The two separated as soon as they entered the town.

Yin Baicai originally wanted to try another gambling den, but to her surprise, there were only two gambling dens in town, and only the Yongsheng Gambling Den she had visited last time was open.

Regardless of the consequences, Yin Baicai braced herself and walked into Yongsheng Casino. Even though it was still early, the place was bustling with activity as usual.

Those who win are happy, those who lose are regretful, "Oh, it's all my fault, I wanted to bet big."

"I was lucky today, I won a few rounds."

Lai Mazi, with his sharp eyes, spotted Yin Baicai walking in. "That skinny, pale-faced guy has finally arrived! I've been looking for him at the gambling den for ages!"

Soon I'll be betting right after him, and I guarantee I'll win back all the losses from the previous two days.

The gatekeeper of the gambling den naturally knew about the commotion Yin Baicai had caused here last time. When Yin Baicai entered, he couldn't help but glance at him a few more times, which startled Yin Baicai, who thought his identity as a young master had been exposed.

He quickly looked down at his concealed wrist and thought to himself: Thank goodness, thank goodness, it was just a false alarm.

Some people in the gambling den hadn't witnessed Yin Baicai's gambling skills before, but they couldn't resist the praise he'd received. So, when Yin Baicai came in, they looked him up and down.

I was skeptical. Was he just bragging? Nobody would believe that this pretty boy could win every time.

This time, Yin Baicai thought that she couldn't be as flamboyant as last time. She would lose a few rounds appropriately, and as long as she won money, she could use it to pay for the house repairmen's food.

That's how you make money. It mainly comes from the commission you get from Manager Zhang.

Walking into the gambling table was Li Hao, who had been the one who set up the trap last time. When he saw Yin Baicai coming over, he broke out in a cold sweat. Why was this little devil coming to my table? He won a lot of money here last time, but he made the money share cut by making Brother Li take a big cut.

Yin Baicai smiled and said to Li Hao, "Hey buddy, I'm back again. You'd better go easy on me."

"You jest, young master. I hope you can go easy on me with your gambling skills." Li Hao paused for a moment before replying.

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Those unaware of the truth hastily concluded that Yin Baicai and the gambling den were in cahoots. They thought, "Look, how could he win every time? They must be working together to cheat people. If you follow this pretty boy, you'll lose everything."

Lai Mazi was now having some doubts. Could this pretty boy be in cahoots with the gambling den? What if he lost money if he bet with him?

Yin Baicai deliberately tried to get close to Li Hao. If all these people followed his lead, the gambling den would lose a fortune and come after me.

I came in together, and I don't want to leave piece by piece.

Yin Baicai took out his money and placed a bet on the table. He bet ten coins at first, and then doubled it to win twenty coins. He bet twenty coins again, and then doubled it again to win forty coins.

He put the thirty coins into his pocket, then bet the ten coins he had taken out at the beginning, deliberately losing them, and thus won twenty coins in one go.

Seeing Yin Baicai lose, the people at the gambling den couldn't believe it. Wasn't he supposed to be a gambling god? How could he lose money? Last time it must have been a rumor.

Lai Mazi didn't rush to place a bet; he waited for Yin Baicai to win first.

He had planned to place his bet after the skinny guy won the third round, but who would have thought that the kid would lose the third round.

Even Li Hao, seeing Yin Baicai lose, thought that this person must have been lucky last time, otherwise how could he have won every time?

Yin Baicai followed the same method and won two games and lost one.

No one followed his betting anymore. They thought that this guy must have been faking his win last time. Who wins every single time? He's been losing for several rounds now.

Li Hao, who was setting up the stakes, wasn't afraid that Yin Baicai would win money, since Yin Baicai had already lost quite a bit.

With more than five taels of silver in her pocket and feeling hungry, Yin Baicai sighed after losing the last round: "Sigh, I'm not playing anymore. My luck is bad today, I've lost so much."

He couldn't help but chuckle to himself; he had only taken ten coins to gamble, but unexpectedly, the interest compounded and he won quite a bit.

Yin Baicai walked out of the gambling den with his head down. The rumors that his gambling skills were superb after losing a few hands today were completely disproven.

Li Hao was overjoyed to see Yin Baicai lose so much. What kind of gambling god was he? Last time he was just lucky as a novice. Today he still lost a lot.

Li Hao, who is now feeling smug, will only realize he has lost a lot of money when he counts it that night.

After seeing Yin Baicai lose money, Lai Mazi naturally didn't bet with him. After losing all his money, he walked home and felt more and more uneasy.

That pretty boy lost several rounds, but he only lost a dozen or twenty coins. When he won, he bet hundreds of coins at a time.

After a quick mental calculation, he realized that his grandmother's pretty boy had tricked everyone. He lost small amounts of money but won big. Upon careful calculation, he realized that he had won quite a lot of money today.

That pretty boy has some tricks up his sleeve. He actually won so much with these little schemes. If I had followed his lead, I would have won too. And he won two rounds and lost one. He must have some gambling skills, otherwise how could he have won money?

Lai Mazi was filled with regret. He blamed himself for being so short-sighted and stopping when he saw that Lai Mazi had lost.

Yin Baicai randomly picked a noodle stall, ordered two bowls of noodles, and poured a cup of water from the kettle on the table.

After drinking a glass of water, the heat subsided.

Soon, two steaming bowls of noodles were served. The owner thought Yin Baicai had been ordered by someone else, but then he saw him finish both bowls of noodles in no time.

They have a lot of noodles. This man was full after eating two bowls, but this skinny young man can actually eat two bowls by himself. He's really amazing!

Yin Baicai paid the boss.

He also went to the pastry shop for a while. He was also planning to buy some gifts for the village chief's family, since the chief could go to town today to get the land deed documents for him.

The village chief refused the money he offered last time, so Yin Baicai bought four packs of pastries and two packs of maltose. He didn't forget to buy Li Mo's share as well.

Kids love to eat these, and the village chief's grandson will definitely like them too.

Carrying her purchases, Yin Baicai strolled leisurely back to the village.
