Chapter 104: A Fundantal Solution 1
Everyone else was also eager to try gambling with Qi Qingyao.
“Zhang Tieyuan, your luck is soaring sky high today.” Voices of envy, jealousy, and hate sounded.
“Qi Qingyao, do you still want to gamble more after this? Once you’re done with Zhang Tieyuan, why don’t you bet one round with , what do you say?” soone asked excitedly.
Qi Qingyao threw a glance at the excited and lively villagers and said with a smile, “Sure, but you’ll have to bet with the deed to your farms and lands.”
Everyone had blood rushing to their heads at the mont and agreed without even thinking about it further, “Fine by ! You can just bet with one hundred taels then and I’ll bet with the deed to my farm and land.”
“Then, we’ve co to an agreent.”
Qi Qingyao also replied easily.
Realizing that his golden pig was about to be snatched away by the others, Zhang Tieyuan snapped his fingers compulsively to regain Qi Qingyao’s attention.
“Qi Qingyao, how dare you make an appointnt with the others? We’re still not done with our gambling session.”
Qi Qingyao turned her head to look at him. Pretending to be angry, she said helplessly, “Well then, I’ll bet 50 taels this round!”
“Hahahahaha, that’s great!” Zhang Tieyuan had just taken a glance at his gamble pile before muttering, “But I don’t have 50 taels…”
Qi Qingyao said unhurriedly, “You can just put the entire twenty-two taels up for the bet. If you win, you can take my fifty taels; if you lose, you can just return the twenty-two taels to .”
“Okay! I’ll bet you.” Zhang Tieyuan smiled happily.
He had won 22 taels without even sacrificing anything today and if he won this round, he would have won 72 taels.
How could he not be excited?
Zhang Cuiyun had wanted to say sothing again but Zhang Tieyuan beat her to it, “Oh Cuiyun, stop making such a fuss. I have great fortune today, it’s as if lady luck is helping out! I won’t lose at all.”
Zhang Cuiyun could only gulp, not uttering a single word. She stared at the dice cup nervously.
She felt as if she were even more nervous than her father.
If they won, their family would truly be rich.
However, if they lost…
No, they would not lose.
Lady luck was really by her father’s side today.
She stood behind her father, hands folded together as she prayed vigorously.
Si Jin looked at her gesture and sohow felt like laughing.
Zhang Tieyuan asked as usual, “Do you want to go first again for this round?”
“Yes, I’ll go first,” Qi Qingyao said.
When Zhang Tieyuan opened the dice cup this ti, he had cald down a bit but still, 52 taels were on the line. He still felt a trace of nervousness, but the result was as expected. “One, two, three, six on the low. Hahahaha, this is absolutely amazing. Qi Qingyao, you’re a little unlucky today, you keep getting lows.”
“There’s nothing I can do about it. I’m just out of luck. ” Qi Qingyao laughed lightly, playing down her situation.
Zhang Tieyuan shook the dice cup quickly and opened it imdiately after putting it down.
“Four, five, five, fourteen on the high!” The incredulous expression on Zhang Tieyuan face was as if he did not want to win but just could not help himself. “I won again,” he exclaid.
“…” Qi Qingyao smiled but said nothing.
“You let win!”
Zhang Tieyuan laughed out loud and brought all the 72 taels in the middle of the table to his side.
Ma Sanye and the other onlookers looked at the 72 taels in Zhang Tieyuan’s arms and felt envious all of a sudden.
They began discussing amongst themselves.
“Her luck is just atrocious. She’d gotten six on the low three tis in a row.”
“Exactly, it’s as if God has dictated it.”
“She’d lost seventy-two taels in one shot.”
“Seventy-two taels… my god…”
“The old Zhang family is going to strike it rich.”
Everyone wished that Old Man Zhang would leave his seat imdiately so that they could switch themselves in and go up against Qi Qingyao. Who knows, maybe the 72 taels would be theirs too.
After the round ended, Zhang Tieyuan very excitedly took the lead in asking Qi Qingyao, “Do you still want to gamble?”
…
When Jiang Yeqian heard what the middle-aged man said, he knew that this person was already high on gambling and had completely fallen into the woman’s trap.
He still had not noticed.
However, Jiang Yeqian did not bla him either.
He had first been suspicious about where her money ca from and now there was this gambling session.
Every ti a new round started, it was this man nad Zhang Tieyuan who initiated it. He was trying to empty her pockets…
Nobody had yet to realize that as he was here gambling, he was also a frog in boiling water!
‘This was also fine, however. Mayhaps this man will be able to quit his gambling addiction completely after this round?’ he thought.
