Chapter 296: The Gambler

Pingjing saw Su Liu's handling of Zhuangzi, so he obediently sent over the general ledger of the business he was in charge of, and assisted her in checking the accounts and carefully explaining the personnel of each shop.

Su Liu was like a sponge, constantly absorbing Pingjing's information, recording, and investigating. As soon as her brain digested one piece of information, it was occupied by another, and she had to make corresponding countermeasures.

Day by day, as time goes by, it is getting colder and colder in Beijing. Several heavy snowfalls have fallen one after another. When I open the window, the cold air hits me. The outside is covered with snow. Breathing out a breath of hot breath, it will instantly

Dissipates in the air.

Su Liu rubbed his forehead, trying to let the cold air clear his turbid head.

"Oh, my girl, you should be careful to freeze your body." Mrs. Cui walked in with a bowl of hot bird's nest. Seeing Su Liu standing in front of the window, she couldn't help but exclaimed, and quickly put the tray in her hand on the table.

He went up, took the cloak on the side and put it on her shoulders, and said: "It's very cold here in Beijing. Girl, don't worry about it just because you are young. It will be very serious if this woman catches the cold."

Su Liu smiled and said: "I have only stood for a while to wake up, so it is so serious?"

"Anyway, you should listen to Mrs. Cui's advice and take care of yourself. Otherwise, if you go back home, your wife will blame the old slave." Mrs. Cui said angrily: "Quickly, drink this bowl of bird's nest while it's hot. I think you're crazy, girl."

I’ve lost a lot of weight.” Then he went to close the window again.

Su Liu shook his head with a smile, walked to the table obediently, picked up the spoon and drank.

These days, she was busy with Zhuangzi, making plans for several shops, and taking two girls to do the accounting. She was really busier than ever, and it was difficult to sort out the account books handed over by Pingjing.

, Su Liu was able to take a breath and waited for shopkeepers from all over the country to come to Beijing.

"Mommy, how long have we been in Beijing?" Su Liu took a few sips and took the time to ask.

Mrs. Cui counted with her fingers and said: "In two days, it will be a month."

"It's been a month." Su Liu felt a little confused and frowned: "I don't know if we can go back in time to celebrate the New Year."

They came in October, and now it is already November. It takes a month to travel from Beijing to Changping. If things are not finished here, they may not be able to go back in time for the New Year.

Su Liu was a little depressed, stirring the bird's nests in the bowl out of boredom. He missed flying in his heart very much. If there were planes, he would be there in two hours.

Hey, it seems that the pace needs to be accelerated!

"I wonder how my mother and the others are doing?" Su Liu felt that she was homesick.

How are Chen and the others? Compared with Su Liu's busy life, it is naturally extremely leisurely. Of course, it would be better if there were no troublemakers.

"Madam, Uncle Su is here again." Iced Tea reported with a frown.

Mrs. Chen was doing needlework with her head down. When she heard this, the tip of the needle tilted and pricked her white fingertips, exuding a little bright red blood droplet.

"Leave him alone, don't let him come in." Chen couldn't help but feel disgust in his words.

After Su Liu went to Beijing, Su Changsheng often sneaked over. Once or twice, she asked him to come in. What he heard was nothing more than Su Changsheng's regretful words, hoping that she would go back to Su's house with him and say that he would definitely change his past.

How to say this.

How could Mrs. Chen foolishly listen to him again, not to mention that there was already a vague shadow of another man in her heart now, and it was even more impossible for her to refuse Su Changsheng countless times.

Su Changsheng was a shameless person, so he still sneaked over. Later, Su Xiao bumped into him and beat him out.

Later, he didn't dare to come when Su Xiao was at home. When Su Xiao went to town, he scurried out like a mouse and asked for money from her several times.

"Mei Niang, Mei Niang!"

Su Changsheng's voice lingered in the distance. Chen put down her needle and thread, walked out of the room, and found that it was coming from outside the wall.

"Mei Niang, help me, Mei Niang."

"Hey, boss of the Su family, what are you doing here? You're screaming!" A strange voice sounded outside.

"Go, go, let me find my mother-in-law." Su Changsheng looked impatient.

Mrs. Chen's face turned dark and she was so angry that she called for ice tea and opened the door.

As soon as Su Changsheng entered the door, he saw Mrs. Chen standing not far from the door and rushed towards her.

"Mei Niang, I know you still have mine in your heart." Su Changsheng wanted to grab her hand, but Ice Tea hurriedly stood in front of Chen. He was a little angry, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only laugh and laugh.

.

Mrs. Chen patted Bingcha on the shoulder and said coldly: "What are you doing here again? Leave quickly, Xiaoxiao will be back soon."

"Hehe, you lied to me again. I just saw that girl go to town." Su Changsheng came as if he had made preparations and immediately exposed Chen's lies.

Chen's face sank slightly and said, "So what?"

"Good Miss Mei, let's not talk about that. I came here to see you for something." Su Changsheng rubbed his hands together.

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she became wary and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's like this. I know a big business guy these days. There is a business that wants me to be a partner. As you know, I have... Hehe, I don't want more, so just lend me a hundred taels.

, I will return it to you when I make money, do you like it?"

"What? One hundred taels?" Mrs. Chen screamed and said, "Where did I get so much money?"

"Hehe, I didn't believe you before when you said you didn't have it, but now who doesn't know that you are the richest? The gold hairpin on your head is worth dozens of taels." Su Changsheng smiled mischievously.

Staring at the golden hairpin on her head, he narrowed his eyes and said: "Besides, your new lover, Mr. Cao, also gave you a lot of good things, right? It's only a hundred taels, you can't get it out of here.

?”

After hearing these insulting words, Mrs. Chen's face turned red with anger and said angrily: "Su Changsheng, what are you spewing here, about an old lover and a new lover? Stop spitting blood and insulting others' reputations."

Seeing that she was annoyed, Su Changsheng hurriedly slapped his mouth twice and said: "Yes, yes, I just have a bad mouth. Mei Niang, don't be upset. I accept the punishment." He slapped his mouth twice more.

, with a rogue look on his face: "Look, it's done, right? What about the money?"

"No! Let alone a hundred taels, I don't even have ten taels." Mrs. Chen was completely disgusted with the man in front of her, and said coldly: "Get out of here, get out of my house, I won't give you any more money.

"

"Mei Niang, are you so heartless?" Su Changsheng's expression immediately changed.

"Should I have feelings for someone like you? Su Changsheng, don't forget, we have no relationship a long time ago. How much money did you take from me one after another? You can tell yourself." Chen said coldly.

: "Everything that does business is fake. You can't even try to lie to me. You obviously want to take money from me and go to the gambling house to make money. Don't say I don't have it. Even if I have it, I won't give it to you."

The water is floating, get out of here."

Don't think that she doesn't know that Su Changsheng got into the bad habit of gambling. She didn't tell her because she didn't want to embarrass her daughter. Now it seems that this person has no chance of being saved.

Gambling, is that something you can get into? Her father will know it just by looking at the ice tea. His hand was disabled, and now it is difficult to live, so why not rely on ice tea for relief?

"Chen Meiniang, don't be so shameless. You are cheating on me behind my back, and I admit it. Now I am in trouble, asking you for two pieces of silver, and you are making irresponsible remarks here.

Do you really think I have no temper?" Su Changsheng's face suddenly became ferocious, and he was full of obscene words.

Mrs. Chen was so angry that she was shaking all over and pointed towards the door: "Get out of here!"

"This is my daughter's home. What if I don't get out?" Su Changsheng also acted stubbornly and rushed in without saying a word. That direction was still Su Liu's inner house.

Mrs. Chen's expression changed, and she hurriedly ran forward to pull him, and shouted to the ice tea: "Quick, go call Ye Ping and the others."

Over the past year or so, Mrs. Chen has been considered pampered and her strength is not as strong as that of Su Changsheng. He fell to the ground after being thrown away by him.

Su Changsheng was furious, and he wanted to force his way in. There must be valuable money in Chen's room, and as long as he grabbed one or two, he could make a fortune.

Thinking of the money he lost in the gambling house, Su Changsheng's eyes turned redder, and he just wanted to get it back.

This is a typical gambler's mentality. If you lose, you want to make up your losses and don't admit defeat.

"Su Changsheng, what do you want to do?"

Mrs. Chen staggered up and chased her to the main room. Su Changsheng barged straight into the room. Seeing her dressing table, his eyes lit up. He rushed over and opened the jewelry box on the table.

Seeing that there were some silver jewelry and bracelets inside, he didn't care, just poured them out and put them in his arms.

Mrs. Chen was shocked and rushed over: "You are crazy! Put it down, put it down for me, someone is coming, someone is coming quickly!"

"Go away, where is the money?" Su Changsheng waved her away, rummaging around while saying, "Give me the money, and I don't care who you marry. Otherwise, you have no way to marry that pickpocket!"

"You're crazy, you robber, give me back my things." Ms. Chen pounced on me again.

Su Changsheng didn't look back, and pushed hard without thinking. He didn't pay attention to the bang, and just said loudly: "Silver, I just want the silver, where is it?"

Even after saying several times, there was no response from behind. Su Changsheng finally felt that something was wrong. When he looked back, his face turned pale.

He saw Ms. Chen lying down by the table, with a hole in her head and blood oozing out. He was so frightened that he went up and kicked her: "Hey, don't pretend to be dead. Get up."

.”

Chen didn't move. He finally panicked and stretched his trembling hand to the tip of her nose. She was still breathing. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he heard the sound of footsteps outside. He stood up hurriedly and reached out to pull out Chen's hand.

With the gold hairpin on his head, he ran out the door and even bumped into someone.

"Madam, God, madam, what's wrong with you? Someone, come quickly!" Ya'er screamed.

As for Bingcha, when he returned with two long-term workers, Ye Ping, Su Changsheng just escaped out of the door. Hearing the screams in the inner courtyard, Bingcha's heart sank, and he ignored Su Changsheng and ran away quickly.
