Mr. Ning stood up in shock! Mrs. Ning, Mrs. Ning, Ning Ruyu and Mrs. Ning all looked at Mr. Ning in shock.
He also borrowed money from the gambling house?
Why would he borrow money from a gambling house?
If he wants to borrow money, he should borrow it from a money bank! There is only one reason why he will borrow money from a gambling house, and that is because he goes to gamble.
Mr. Ning lowered his head even lower. He didn't expect that people from this gambling house would come to his door.
Although he knew that this paper could not cover the fire, and his family would know about it sooner or later, he didn't want his family to know about it at this time.
"Second brother, did you go gambling?"
Mrs. Ning squeezed the handle of the chair tightly and asked in a trembling voice.
The Ning family has family rules. Gambling will ruin the family. Any descendant of the Ning family who is not allowed to gamble will be punished with twenty canes.
For nearly a hundred years, the descendants of the Ning family have always abided by this family rule, and no one has ever violated it.
Ning Erye did not deny it, but defended himself in a low voice: "I also want to make up for the fifty thousand taels of silver."
"So, the business that my second brother mentioned that I don't understand is gambling?"
Master Ning laughed angrily, "If this is the case, then I really don't understand."
He said, what kind of business can make fifty thousand taels a month? It turned out to be gambling.
Mrs. Ning looked at her second son and pressed her hand on her throbbing head.
She thought that the second child could really start a business with that capital and earn back the fifty thousand taels of silver she lost.
Unexpectedly, he used the money not for business, but for gambling.
Nine times out of ten you lose when you gamble, how can you get so much! "Everyone, come and take a look! The second master of the Ning family borrowed money from our gambling house and won't pay it back..." The people who came to the gambling house to ask for money saw the concierge coming in and kept talking.
Before he came out, he waved the IOU in his hand and shouted loudly.
This shout attracted nearby neighbors and spread into the main hall.
The Ning family is a scholarly family and is well-known in Jiangzhou City, so it is natural that they want to be respected.
The second master of their family gambled and refused to pay back the money he owed. If this matter became a big deal and spread throughout the city, the Ning family would not only lose their face, but their reputation would also be ruined.
Master Ning heard the shouting and hurriedly shouted to the concierge: "Go quickly and invite the people in. Don't let them yell outside."
He will be an official in the future. If this matter spreads and ruins the family tradition, it will naturally have an impact on his career.
The concierge hurriedly ran out to invite someone in. Mr. Ning asked Ning Ruyu to step aside. As a girl who had not yet left the palace, it was naturally not easy for her to meet such a person of different religions.
Ning Ruyu stood up and left, but instead of going back to the backyard, she went to the side hall.
After a while, the people from the gambling house were invited in by the concierge.
There are three of them in total, all of them are tall and thick men.
Although the people in the gambling house were used to being arrogant, they did not make any mistakes in the Ning family. After entering the main hall, they even cupped their fists and saluted.
The eldest son of the Ning family is a civil servant, and he will be an official in the future, so they still have to be careful.
"Master Ning Er, I haven't seen you for a few days. Are you okay?"
Zhao Ba held a stack of IOUs in his hand and raised his hand to Mr. Ning.
Ning Erye ignored him and kept his head down. In this family, he couldn't raise his head now.
Seeing that Mr. Ning ignored him, Zhao Ba was not annoyed. He shook off the IOU and said, "You said last time in our gambling house that you should pay back the money within three days. It's been three days and three days.
Mr. Ning Er, you didn’t even go to the gambling house to pay back the money, so we had to come to you.”
Master Ning looked at the vulgar Zhao Ba and others, and he hated this prodigal brother in his heart. The Ning family, a scholarly family with a century-old family, had never had such a despicable person.
But today, these people entered the main hall of their Ning family openly, all thanks to his prodigal brother.
