Shi Xiaoen rubbed his face in distress and didn't intend to pay attention to these two people anymore. Unexpectedly, the little girl sat down next to him and let out a sigh of relief.
Shi Xiaoen couldn't help but look at her, and then he recognized her, "Oh, it's Friday's Yaomei."
Man Bao nodded and asked, "Is your father okay?"
Shi Xiaoen was stunned for a while before he understood what she meant. He replied slowly: "What can happen to him?"
"Your father has such a big heart."
Zhou Lang also sat down next to Man Bao and said, "Your father has such a good temper."
Shi Xiaoen:......
Man Bao said "Alas" again and said: "Brother Shi, you should quit gambling. In this world, nine out of ten gamblers lose more than they win and end up bankrupt. The other one quits gambling."
Yes, I hope you can be the one who quits."
Shi Xiaoen frowned. He didn't expect that a little kid would dare to teach him. He had been running casinos for many years, and it was only in the past two years that he lost more and won less. As long as he was given enough money, he could naturally make back his money, and even make a fortune.
Make a fortune...
One look at his face and the two brothers and sisters knew that he didn't listen.
Manbao stopped trying to persuade him and stood up to leave.
Zhou Lang reached out and patted his shoulder and said: "Uncle Shi, I have also gambled, and not only did I lose my entire family, but I also owed foreign debts. Although my sister's words are not very nice, they are reasonable. In this casino
There are not many good people, and few people who gamble have a good ending, so you might as well quit."
Zhou Lang saved his own life and said: "If it's not for yourself, it's also for your family. Judging from your age, you already have a wife and children. My father is definitely not young anymore. Your family is not short of money, so why bother to go there?"
Where’s the casino hangout?”
Zhou Lang came to the county town to pay grain taxes. When he was carrying around his own private money, he wandered into the casino and saw the people inside winning a lot of money.
In addition, after being persuaded by the casino clerk outside who was soliciting business, he went in.
Looking back now, he still finds it incredible. He just wanted to make a fortune and buy a lot of meat...
He was lucky at first and won several times. He originally wanted to leave, but he couldn't move his feet, so he continued to gamble. As a result, he not only lost the money he won, but also lost his previous money.
He was even more reluctant to leave. As soon as someone from the casino approached him and was willing to lend him some money temporarily, he did so.
Then before I knew it, I didn't even see any money. I won and lost, so I spent fifteen taels in one go.
Thinking back on it, Zhou Lang couldn't help but swallowed his saliva at this moment, and said seriously again: "Uncle Shi, your family is not short of money. If you quit gambling and work hard, you can earn it back. But if you lose your family
If you lose all your karma, it will be difficult to earn it back."
Shi Xiaoen was very unhappy, so he glanced sideways at Zhou Lang, who is this person?
Can just anyone come and teach him a lesson?
The shopkeeper who had been paying attention here saw this and immediately stepped forward to stop Shi Xiaoen, smiling gratefully at Zhou Lang.
Zhou Lang has always been smart, so naturally he would not be unable to understand Shi Xiaoen's emotions.
Originally, he was also trying to save others by himself, thinking that the two of them had the same experience, so he said these simple and profound words.
Now it seems that it really shouldn’t be said.
Zhou Lang nodded to the shopkeeper, and regardless of whether Shi Xiaoen could hear it or not, he took Man Bao and left.
However, after taking a few steps, Zhou Lang still couldn't help but turn around and said: "Uncle Shi, if you still want to sell a shop in the future, you can come to our family. You also know my family, Lao Wu. Although our family doesn't have much money, we don't do that kind of business."
It’s a matter of going back on one’s word.”
Shi Xiaoen was so angry that his eyes stood up. With his ability, luck might turn out tomorrow. How could he still sell the shop?
This person was clearly cursing him!
When the Zhou Lang brothers and sisters walked away, the shopkeeper who pulled Shi Xiaoen could not help but shed tears and persuaded, "Master, they say that bystanders know the best. I think what this gentleman said is very good. Just listen to my advice.
"
Shi Xiaoen pushed his hand away and said: "Don't be verbose, do you need some money at home for me to play? It's because dad is not willing to give me the money..."
The shopkeeper was speechless. Although the landlord had a surplus of grain, he could use up all the surplus grain by gambling like this.
Obviously, Shi Xiaoen didn't realize this, especially when he was going to sell the shop today, wouldn't his father still send someone to get money to help him pay off his debt?
Obviously the family didn't have money, they just didn't give him money.
Zhou Lang shook his head and sighed as he walked.
Man Bao has already forgotten about Shi Xiaoen. In her opinion, Uncle Shi is just a familiar stranger, who is just a pity for gambling.
In terms of familiarity, it is not as good as their next door neighbor Lezi.
If she had to feel sad for every person she knew who gambled, she would have to feel sad many times.
So not long after leaving the shop, Man Bao looked around excitedly, and then pulled Zhou Lang into a shop.
She saw someone selling bronze mirrors inside.
Seeing her spending money to buy three mirrors, Zhou Lang couldn't help but said: "Actually, it's quite good to be born a girl. There are always gifts."
Man Bao thought about it, yes, she seemed to be busy buying gifts for her sister-in-law and Daya, and forgot to buy them for her brothers and nephews.
But what does the boy want to give?
Manbao thought for a while, then his eyes lit up and he said, "Fourth brother, let's go buy some meat, buy another iron pot, and go back and ask my sister-in-law to cook something delicious for us."
She said: "Because you don't have any gifts, I am willing to buy an extra piece of meat and let my sister-in-law cook it for you."
Thursday Lang:......
However, he was speechless for a moment and immediately hugged the things she bought, turned around and left, "Come on, let's go see the iron pot first."
Thanks to Manbao, Zhou Lang not only ate the dishes fried in the iron pot, but also saw the big iron pot in the Bai family's kitchen. It was really...
None of his farm tools dared to put so much iron on them.
When they arrived at the blacksmith shop and asked, they found out that the iron pots were not all made of iron, but they were still very expensive, even more expensive than their farm tools.
Only then did Zhou Lang ask the price, then turned around and grabbed Manbao and left.
But Man Bao thought of all the delicious dishes at Bai Shanbao's house, and thought that if they bought an iron pot, then his sister-in-law would be able to cook them, so he was unwilling to leave.
When the blacksmith saw the little girl hugging the pillar and not walking away, he couldn't help but become happy. He wiped the sweat on his neck with a towel and said with a smile: "Boy, if your sister wants to buy it, just buy her a bite."
Zhou Lang said in a low voice: "This is too expensive."
"You don't have to look at how much iron there is here," the blacksmith said: "It's cheap now. Eight or nine years ago, there were still wars at the border. At that time, you had nowhere to buy it."
Manbao looked up at her fourth brother, hugging the pillar and not wanting to leave, "Fourth brother, buy it, buy it."
Zhou Lang said depressedly: "I'm afraid my father will beat me if I buy it."
"No, let's buy some big meat and ask my sister-in-law to make it more delicious, so dad won't be angry."
