The small peasant girl of the Wang family was reborn with space

Chapter 17 Why Don't You Hit Me
Ruan Jiaoyan has always been assertive and has a stubborn temper. When her temper comes up, Ruan Funian is a little bit guilty.

But Ruan Funian had never seen Ruan Jiaoyan who was so silent, so calm and a bit indifferent.

When his lips moved, Ruan Jiaoyan spoke.

"For one tael of silver, you can buy medicine for my mother for five days, a few stacks of paper and two pieces of ink for Wei'an, and rice grains to support our family for half a year."

Ruan Jiaoyan looked at him fixedly, and asked, "Father, do the math, what can you do with 50 taels?"

Ruan Funian felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat.

Ruan Jiaoyan didn't seem angry or irritable, she just said something so lightly, and then asked a question.But Ruan Funian felt that his heart seemed to be pinched severely, and then his face turned red.

One tael of silver can buy some rice grains, and their family can cook a pot of porridge for a day with a small handful of rice, and one tael of silver can feed their family for half a year.

But now he lost 50 taels.

Ruan Funian suddenly felt that he was really an asshole.

Ruan Huanhuan heard Ruan Jiaoyan's words and then looked at her father, her eyes turned red, and tears slowly accumulated. She felt that crying like this was a bit too useless, so she quickly wiped away the tears with her hands.

Ruan Funian's lips trembled, and after a long while, he choked out a sentence, "It's my father's mistake, and my father will not gamble in the future."

He had never said such a thing before. It used to mean that he gambled less, and just bet a few copper coins to enjoy himself——

Although not once.

But it was really the first time that he would no longer gamble after saying clearly.

As soon as Ruan Huanhuan's eyes lit up, he immediately became happy, "Father, is what you said true?"

"T-really."

"Great! Daddy, you're right if you can think so. Gambling is really not a good thing! Our family is so poor, if you continue to gamble, we really won't be able to survive!"

Ruan Huanhuan looked at Ruan Jiaoyan with bright eyes, the joy in those eyes couldn't be hidden.

This silly girl believed Ruan Funian's words so easily.

"Then what is Dad going to do with the 50 taels?" Ruan Jiaoyan still looked indifferent.

Ruan Funian's expression changed again.

He suddenly became panicked and nervous again, and shouted to Ruan Jiaoyan: "Jiaoyan, take Huanhuan out to escape!"

"Why are we avoiding it?"

Ruan Funian didn't dare to look at her at all. He clenched his hands and coughed twice, "I lost money three days ago, and the people in the gambling shop gave me two days to raise money to pay off the debt. If I don't pay back the money on time, they will I came to the door."

But now that he has finally come to his senses, it is impossible for their family to have 50 taels of silver.

Even if the house is worth 50 taels.

Ruan Funian's heart also kept sinking, sinking.He didn't even understand now, why was he so hot-headed when he was in the casino, and he wanted to make money?Why didn't he think of stopping when he lost five taels or ten taels?

Thinking about it now, he thinks he is crazy.

With a bang, Ruan Funian thumped his head hard, and said in a low voice with pain, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have disobeyed your words and ran to gamble again, I am ashamed to be your father, or else beat me up"

As he spoke, he continued to beat his head thump-thump-thump, his eyes were red.

Seeing him like this, Ruan Huanhuan couldn't help crying.
