six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 231 Gamblers
Ping Jing saw Su Liu's way of handling 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 explained the personnel affairs of each shop.

Su Liu is like a sponge, continuously absorbing Ping Jing's information, recording, investigating and dealing with it. As soon as one piece of information is digested in her mind, another information is occupied by her, and she has to make corresponding countermeasures.

The days went by day by day, and as time went by, it became colder and colder in Shangjing. There were several heavy snowfalls one after another. When the window was opened, the cold air hit, and the outside was covered in silver. With a breath of hot air, it would instantly Dissipates in air.

Su Liu rubbed her forehead, trying to let the cold air clear her muddy head.

"Oh, my girl, I've froze carefully." Granny Cui came in with a bowl of hot bird's nest, and seeing Su Liu standing in front of the window, she couldn't help but exclaimed, and swiftly put the tray in her hand on the table Going up, took the cloak on the side and put it on her shoulders, said: "It's very cold in Shangjing here, girl, don't just rely on your young age to have no scruples, if this woman catches the cold, it will be terrible."

Su Liu smiled and said, "I just stood there for a while to wake up, so it's so serious?"

"Anyway, just listen to Mrs. Cui's advice and take care of yourself carefully. Otherwise, when you go home, the wife will blame the old slave." I've lost a lot of weight." Then he went to close the window again.

Su Liu smiled and shook her head, walked obediently to the table, picked up the spoon and drank.

These days, she is busy with Zhuangzi's business again, making plans for several shops, and taking two maids to do the accounts. She is really busier than ever, and it is very difficult for her to sort out the accounts that Ping Jing handed over. , Su Liu was able to take a breath, just waiting for the shopkeepers from all over the country to come to Beijing.

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

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

"It's been a month." Su Liu was stunned, frowned and said, "I don't know if we can make it back to celebrate the New Year."

Those who came in October, now it's November, and it will take a month's journey to go to Beijing to Changping. If there is no end to things here, they may not be able to go back to celebrate the New Year.

Su Liu was a little depressed, stirring the bird's nest in the bowl boredly, thinking of the plane very much in her heart, if there was a plane, it would take two hours to arrive.

Hey, it seems that the pace has to be quickened!

"I don't know how Mother and the others are doing?" Su Liu felt homesick.

How about Chen and the others?Compared with Su Liu's busy life, it is naturally incomparably leisurely. Of course, it would be better if there are no bad things to make trouble.

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

Mrs. Chen was bowing her head and doing her needlework when she heard that the tip of the needle was tilted, piercing her white and tender fingertips, and a little bright red blood dripped out.

"Leave him alone, don't let him in." The disgust in Chen's words couldn't be stopped.

Ever since Su Liu went to Shangjing, Su Changsheng often sneaked over. Once or twice, she let him in, and only heard what Su Changsheng regretted. She hoped that she would go back to Su's house with him, and what she said would definitely change her past. How such words.

How could Mrs. Chen listen to him so stupidly, let alone that she already had the shadow of another man in her heart, and it was even more impossible for her to refuse Su Changsheng countless times.

Su Changsheng was thick-skinned, so he slipped over anyway, but Su Xiao bumped into him later and beat him straight away.

Later, when Su Xiao was at home, he didn't dare to come. As soon as Su Xiao went to the town, he ran out like a mouse, and even 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 fence.

"Mei Niang, help me, Mei Niang."

"Hey, boss of the Su family, what are you doing here? You're calling yourself a soul!" A strange voice sounded from outside

"Go, go, I'll look for my wife." Su Changsheng looked impatient.

Chen's face was darkened, and he was very angry, so he called for iced tea and opened the door.

As soon as Su Changsheng came in, he saw Mrs. Chen standing not far from the door, and rushed forward.

"Mei Niang, I knew that I still have mine in my heart." Su Changsheng wanted to grab her hand, but the iced tea hurriedly stood in front of Chen Shi. He was a little angry, but he didn't dare to explode, so he could only smile and laugh .

Mrs. Chen patted Bingcha's shoulder, and said indifferently: "What are you doing here again? Hurry up, Xiaoxiao will be back soon."

"Hee hee, you lied to me again. I just saw that girl go to town." Su Changsheng came as if he had prepared himself, and immediately exposed Chen's lie.

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

"Good Mei Niang, let's not talk about those things, I am here to find you." Su Changsheng rubbed his hands together.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen became vigilant and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's like this. I know someone who is in a big business recently. There is a business that wants me to be a partner. You know, I have it on hand... Hehe, I don't want too much, just lend me 100 taels. I'll pay you back when I earn money, do you like it?"

"What? 100 taels?" Chen exclaimed, "Where did I get so much money?"

"Hey, if you said you didn't believe me before, now who doesn't know that you are the richest, the gold hairpin on your head is worth a dozen taels." Su Changsheng laughed wickedly. She stared at the golden hairpin on her head, then narrowed her eyes and said, "Not to mention, your new lover, Mr. Cao, also gave you a lot of good things, right? It's only 100 taels, why can't you take it out? "

Hearing this insult, Chen's face flushed with anger, and he said angrily: "Su Changsheng, what kind of dung are you spouting here, old lovers and new lovers, you don't want to insult people's reputation by spouting blood."

Seeing that she was annoyed, Su Changsheng hastily slapped himself on the mouth twice, and said, "Yes, yes, I just have a bad mouth, Mei Niang, don't be annoyed, I accept the punishment." Then he slapped his mouth twice again , with a rascal face: "Look, it's done, right? The money?"

"No! Don't say 100 taels, I don't even have [-] taels." Chen was completely resolute and disgusted with the man in front of him, and said coldly: "Get out, get out of my house, I won't give you any more money."

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

"Should I be sympathetic to someone like you? Su Changsheng, don't forget, we have no relationship for a long time. How much money did you take away from me one after another? Tell me yourself." Chen said coldly : "Every business is fake, don't you 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 to play." The water is floating, get out."

Don't think she doesn't know that Su Changsheng has a bad habit of gambling. She didn't tell her because she didn't want to embarrass her daughter. Now it seems that there is no way for this person to be saved.

Bet, is that something you can touch?Her father knew just by looking at the iced tea. He was handicapped, and now even life is difficult, so why not rely on iced tea for relief?

"Chen Meiniang, don't be so fucking shameless. You are fucking stealing from me, and I admit it. Now that I'm in trouble, I'm looking for two silver coins from you. You're just making irresponsible remarks here. Do you really think that I have no temper?" Su Changsheng's face suddenly became ferocious, and his mouth was full of obscenities.

Chen was trembling with anger, and pointed at the door: "Get out, get out!"

"This is my daughter's house, why don't I leave?" Su Changsheng was also stubborn, and rushed in without saying a word, and the direction was still Su Liu and the others' inner house.

Chen's complexion changed, and hurriedly trotted forward to grab him, and then shouted at the iced tea: "Quick, call Ye Ping and the others."

For more than a year, the Chen family has been pampered, his strength is not as strong as that of Su Changsheng, and he fell to the ground after being thrown by him.

Su Changsheng's eyes were red, and he thought of breaking in. The Chen family must have valuable silver in their room, as long as he grabs one or two, he can make money.

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

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

"Su Changsheng, what are you doing?"

Mrs. Chen staggered up and chased to the main room. Su Changsheng broke into the room. When he saw 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 silver bracelets in it, he didn't care, just poured it out and put it in his bosom.

Chen was shocked and rushed over: "You are crazy! Put it down, let me down, come, come, come!"

"Go away, where is the silver?" Su Changsheng waved her away, rummaged around, and said, "Give me the silver, and I will care who you marry, otherwise, you want to marry that jerk, there is no way!"

"You're crazy, you robber, return the things to me." Mrs. Chen rushed forward again.

Su Changsheng didn't turn his head back, he pushed hard without even thinking about it, there was a bang, he didn't care, he just said loudly: "Silver, I just want silver, where is it?"

After saying a few times, there was no reaction from behind. Su Changsheng finally felt that something was wrong, and when he looked back, his face turned pale.

I saw Mrs. Chen lying on the edge of the table with a hole in her head, bleeding out continuously, he was so frightened that his soul flew away, he stepped forward and kicked her: "Hey, don't pretend to be dead, get up!" .”

Mrs. Chen didn't move. He finally panicked. He tremblingly stretched out his hand to the tip of her nose. He was still breathing. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he heard footsteps outside. The gold hairpin on Shi's head ran out of the door and even bumped into someone who came.

"Madam, oh my god, ma'am, what's wrong with you? Come on, come on!" Ya'er screamed.

As for Iced Tea, when Su Changsheng came back with Ye Ping's two long-term workers, Su Changsheng just escaped from the door. Hearing the screams in the inner courtyard, Iced Tea's heart sank. .
