Chapter 58 Making Money from Money
As a result, he was surrounded by a group of bad friends who were good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Every time Lu Yunshu went out with them, he was the one who paid.
He knew very well that others were flattering him and taking advantage of him, but he didn't care at all because he was spending his stepmother's money anyway.
He knew what he could do and what he couldn't do, and he always pretended, with three parts truth and seven parts falsehood. He actually fooled his stepmother and allowed him to live a peaceful life for a few years.
Often hanging out with that group of playboys, Lu Yunshu had learned about the twists and turns of the gambling house through osmosis.
It's an exaggeration to say that he understands it very thoroughly, but he does understand about 70% to 80% out of 10.
Every time he participated in a gambling game, he could always control the outcome in his own hands through observation and calculation. However, in front of others, he often lost more than he won, and was often called a prodigal son behind his back.
In response to this, Lu Yunshu always smiled and said nothing. This moment when everyone else was drunk but he was the only one sober always brought him a strong sense of pleasure.
But he knew that he couldn't indulge in such emotions, as it would be easy to lose himself.
Originally, after leaving the Lu Mansion, he had planned to never set foot in a gambling house again in his life. Unexpectedly, he broke his promise only half a year after he came out. He felt a little embarrassed now.
However, special cases require special treatment. For long-term considerations, he should make an exception this time.
After making up his mind, Lu Yunshu kept paying attention to Old Man Yu's condition. Seeing that Old Man Yu was no longer moving, he guessed that he must have passed away, so he got up and walked towards the county.
When passing by the river, he washed all the exposed parts of his face, arms, and feet.
After entering the county town, he found a clothing store, bought a set of ordinary cloth clothes, styled his hair and tied it up with a headband, making himself look no different from ordinary people in the county.
He entered a gambling house in the county with the only one or two taels of silver he had left.
The size and decoration of gambling houses in different places are different, but the playing methods are basically the same.
Lu Yunshu entered the gambling house and wandered around the various gambling tables. After understanding the rules of the game, he began to gamble. He won and lost every time. When he earned the desired amount of money at each table, he would leave and go to another table and do the same.
Making a little money from each table like this would not attract attention. After earning ten taels of silver, Lu Yunshu left. After making sure that no one was following him, he asked passers-by about the location of the coffin shop.
After finding a coffin shop with the help of passers-by, Lu Yunshu spent two taels of silver to buy a coffin for Old Man Yu, and also bought him a lot of paper money out of his own pocket.
After that, he spent another fifty cents to hire a shop assistant to help carry the coffin up the mountain. The two of them dug a hole together and put the coffin in together.
After doing all this, the guy drove back, Lu Yunshu changed back into his previous clothes and returned to the temple, carrying Old Man Yu's body up the mountain.
After Lu Yunshu finished building the tombstone for Old Man Yu and placed it in front of the grave, he began to burn paper money for Old Man Yu.
"Old man, I just borrowed your coffin book and made a little money. I bought you these paper money as repayment for your interest. These paper money should be enough for you to buy a house in the underworld..."
Lu Yunshu was muttering to himself while burning paper money. It was his first time doing such a thing and he still felt a little uncomfortable.
Although he did not live a happy life in the Lu family, he never worried about money.
Now that I have left the Lu Mansion, I understand what it means that a penny can make a hero fall, and I have deeply realized the importance of money.
If this had happened in the past, if someone had told him that one day he would embezzle other people's money to gamble, he would have definitely kicked that person out, thinking that the person was talking nonsense.
How could he do such a tasteless thing? In the end, he bowed his noble head to reality today.
After burning the paper money, Lu Yunshu did not choose to return to the City God Temple. Instead, he changed into the new clothes he had bought before and returned to the county town.
Since he had money on him and was not worried, he went to the best clinic in the county and asked a doctor to treat his leg.
After that, the other beggars who had lived under the same roof never saw Lu Yunshu again.
Hou San and Fatty learned about what happened today from other people. Their main focus was that Lin Chuyi actually came to them on his own initiative. They didn't care much about the fact that the newcomer Lu Yunshu collected the body for Old Yutou.
Monkey Three and Fatty got together to discuss.
"He took the initiative to come and find someone, and even took them to stay at the inn. Could he be a relative of those two people? In that case, should we continue with our plan?"
The fat man didn't believe that someone would be so nice to a stranger for no reason. He felt that his guess was reasonable.
Monkey Three didn't want to believe Fatty's guess, but he had to admit that what Fatty said made sense.
"No matter what the truth is, I have to try it. Otherwise, I really won't be reconciled."
"Okay, let's try it."
The fat man no longer had any hope for tomorrow's action, but he didn't want to say much about attacking Monkey Three. As long as he could earn the same amount of money tomorrow as he did today, he would be satisfied.
After discussing it, the two of them went their separate ways to rest.
The next day, before dawn, Hou San woke up Fatty. Fatty rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at the sky outside, and wanted to hit him, but he endured it because Hou San was his brother.
The two men waited at the city gate. As soon as the gate opened, they couldn't wait to enter the city.
This abnormal behavior aroused the suspicion of the soldiers guarding the city gate, who stopped them and conducted a routine inspection.
Monkey Three was anxious and helpless. As the saying goes, the people should not fight against the officials, so they could only stand aside and wait for inspection.
By the time they were allowed to enter the city, two quarters of an hour had passed. Monkey Three hurriedly pulled Fatty to the place where they had squatted yesterday.
The inn was already open, but Lin Chuyi and her friends were still nowhere to be seen inside, because they had already left for the car rental company before Hou San and his friends arrived.
Another quarter of an hour later, the carriage passed in front of Hou San and his friends. Jin Bao and Yin Bao even lifted the curtain to look at the various stalls on the street.
Neither Monkey Three nor Fatty recognized the two clean little girls in the carriage. They were Jin Bao and Yin Bao who once lived under the same roof with them. Their eyes were still staring at the door of the inn.
Their waiting was destined to be in vain. After ten days of waiting without anyone coming out, Hou San had to admit that the other party had left.
Compared to Monkey Three's dejection, Fatty's mood has always been good. There will be no disappointment if there is no expectation.
His eyes were always on the daily revenue, which these days brought in more than the previous months combined.
If this trend continues, he feels that the two of them can buy a house and land with the money they earn from begging and reach the peak of their lives.
