In a daze, he felt as if he had won several times, but when he reached into his pocket again to take out the money, he found that his pocket was empty at some point.
There was originally 500 yuan in it.
When I started winning cards, there were even more than 500.
The joy of winning money seemed to be just one second, but the next second, the cruel fact was that not only did he lose all the money he won, but he also lost his capital.
500 yuan! If he were to save this on his own, he wouldn't be able to save so much money in a few years.
Chen Fu couldn't remember how he lost like this. He only vaguely remembered that after Rutang went to the card table, he saw the legendary Big Four, the Nine Lotus Lantern...
I lost everything in a daze.
Rutang received the canned food that Yu Yaoyang handed over. He didn't know when he brought a canned peach over, opened the can, and fed it to Rutang.
The two younger brothers who accompanied me throughout the whole process were convinced by my sister-in-law's poker skills. No wonder my boss has liked her for so many years and is still a top student at playing cards!
"Are you still playing?" Rutang ate two canned peaches, feeling sweeter than the canned ones.
She felt so comfortable at this moment. The resentment that had been suppressed in her heart for two lifetimes was let out, and her whole body felt relaxed.
"Play!" Chen Fu squeezed out the word "play" from between his teeth, his eyes full of unwillingness.
He didn't believe that he would lose to Rutang who was gambling for the "first time". The gambler's competitive spirit made him eager to make a comeback.
"Do you still have money?" Yu Yaoyang asked.
"..." Chen Fu touched his pocket and stopped talking. He looked at Thursday for help and wanted to ask Thursday to borrow some.
Thursday shook his head like a rattle. He had been watching for so long and understood everything.
Not to mention Chen Fu, even if he was put to death, he couldn't beat Rutang. This girl's card skills were so superb that she could compete with her man.
"I won't embarrass you when it comes to a father-daughter game. It doesn't matter if you don't have cash. Let's bet on something else. This." Rutang took out a hundred-yuan bill from the thick pile of money in front of her and slapped it on the table.
"We will win or lose in one round. If you can beat me in the next round, this hundred will be yours. If you can't win, tomorrow you will go to the village radio station and broadcast with a loudspeaker to apologize to Brother Yaoyang."
"Should I apologize to him? No!" Chen Fu refused.
He is legally illiterate and is afraid that if he publicly apologizes, he will be punished.
"Add another 100." Rutang took out a few more ten-dollar bills and stacked them on top of the money just now.
Chen Fu swallowed his saliva and was already a little shaken.
He is now addicted to gambling, and it is too painful for him to stop, so he just wants to make a comeback.
"You have to think about it, you only have one chance." Rutang ate three petals of the peach and passed the rest to Yu Yaoyang.
Yu Yaoyang took a few bites of the canned peach and finished the rest. The young couple interacted with each other so well that they looked like a family at first sight.
"Okay, what can he do if he doesn't apologize? He won't play anymore." Yu Yaoyang put down the empty cans and bottles, pretending to take Rutang away.
"I bet! Just bet and apologize!" Chen Fu hurriedly stopped him.
"You have no proof, Fourth Uncle, go get some paper and pen." Seeing that he had taken the bait, Rutang tugged at the corner of her mouth.
On Thursday, I couldn't speak at all. Looking at Chen Fu's obsessive virtue, he wouldn't listen to advice even if he knew it. He could only sigh and go back to the house to get paper, pen, and red ink pad.
Rutang wrote a few lines of words, but Chen Fu couldn't read either. He didn't know what she wrote, so he pressed his fingerprints in confusion.
The sound of shuffling the cards sounded, and Chen Fu was fully focused on this round, thinking about making a comeback.
But how is it possible.
Rutang won the game easily. Chen Fu subconsciously wanted to grab the piece of paper. Yu Yaoyang raised the paper high with quick hands and eyes, not giving him a chance.
"Tomorrow, we will wait for you." Yu Yaoyang waved the paper in front of Chen Fu a few times. Seeing the young couple about to leave, Chen Fu suddenly shouted.
"One more game! I win this game, give me the 500 gift!"
"Pfft! It's not dark yet, and you're talking in your sleep?" Yu Yaoyang looked at him with disdain.
"You no longer have any chips, and your reputation has been ruined. What else are you betting on?" Rutang asked.
The purpose of her visit today was to make Chen Fu willingly apologize on the radio. This was also her promise to her mother-in-law.
When Yu Yaoyang was framed, Rutang once told her mother-in-law that no matter who spread the rumor, he would ask him to apologize through the loudspeaker in the village, and she did it.
"Bet - bet with one of my fingers!" Chen Fu was determined and risked his life.
There was a sound of gasping in the room, and Thursday stepped forward to pull Chen Fu.
"Forget it, stop scaring the children like this. We are all a family. Can Rutang really want a finger from you?"
When these gamblers get to a certain level, they will really bet hands and feet with others, but everyone in Dali Village is acquaintances, and so far, no one has bet that big.
"Stop trying to persuade me, I will fight her to the end today!" A cunning light flashed in Chen Fu's eyes.
As Thursday said, Rutang is his daughter. Even if he loses, Rutang cannot chop off his fingers. If she really dares to chop off, how can she still hang out in the village in the future?
To put it bluntly, Chen Fu just wants to be a free wolf, and he is obsessed with Rutang's betrothal gift, so he just takes advantage of it if he can't afford to lose.
"Oh? Are you serious?" Rutang broke free from Yu Yaoyang's hand, sat back on the card table, and folded her legs gracefully.
At this time, it was already close to midnight, and the village was completely silent. The villagers had gone to bed long ago, and only the small underground gambling room on Thursday was still lit.
In such a strange environment, Rutang is like a white orchid in the valley, blooming quietly.
"Seriously! You have to bet this game with me!" Chen Fu didn't want to miss the opportunity.
"Uncle Fourth, bring me pen and paper."
Rutang took the pen and paper and scribbled a few lines on it. This time he was serious about it.
Chen Fu was confident, he was sure that Rutang would not dare to chop him. Compared with the previous gambling with real money, Chen Fu felt a little more relaxed at this time.
After Rutang finished writing, Chen Fu pressed his fingerprint.
The crucial round officially started. Perhaps Chen Fu had been unlucky for a night, but his luck came back, and he started playing this deck of cards.
The wrinkles on Chen Fu's face were all smiles, and he felt that the god of luck was on his side.
The two remaining people at the same table were so sleepy that they could hardly keep their eyes open. Today they really spent time studying with the prince. They themselves had almost no chance of winning or losing. They had to watch the sister-in-law’s unilateral output throughout the whole process. At this point, everyone was also sleepy.
Chen Fushang heard it early, but after a few rounds, he just couldn't get it right.
Rutang kept all the cards and closed his eyes without even looking at the cards. He could tell which cards he had picked up by touching them.
By this time, no matter how stupid Chen Fu was, he realized that his daughter not only knew how to play cards, but also played cards extremely well.
Chen Fu gradually became a little anxious, praying repeatedly in his heart that the next card would be a bad one, but unfortunately it was a useless card and was thrown out.
"What a fool." Rutang opened his eyes.
Yu Yaoyang turned over the card she was holding. It was just a piece of shit. If calculated according to normal multiples, it would be a 2 cent win or loss.
But unfortunately, this game is not calculated according to the normal multiple.
"Tell me, which finger should I chop?" Rutang looked at Chen Fu, whose face was earthy.
