Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Bai Xiuying didn't think highly of Jia Dongxu, whom her husband mentioned. She shook her head and said, "Jia Dongxu, I think Jia Dongxu is even less reliable than Sha Zhu. Zhonghai, I think we should just adopt a child. We can adopt a child who doesn't remember anything. We can educate him from a young age, and he will definitely be able to provide for us in our old age when he grows up."

Yi Zhonghai frowned. Sometimes he really wanted to adopt a child from an orphanage. But when he thought of the adopted child, he remembered the old man who was abused to death in the yard next door. And he thought that it would take a lot of effort to raise a child from childhood. Yi Zhonghai just wanted to pick up a ready-made child and didn't want to spend his own money and then let it go.

Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, he dare not bet on human heart. After all, human heart is hard to predict, and Yi Zhonghai agrees with this statement the most. Yi Zhonghai closed his eyes and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "We are both over 40 years old now, and raising a child is not something that can be done easily. The money spent, plus the experience. Thinking about these gives me a headache, and whether the child will be filial to us when he grows up is also an unknown."

Bai Xiuying knew that her husband would never agree, so she could only sigh. Old Lady Long often said that she would exchange sincerity for sincerity, and Bai Xiuying actually agreed with this statement. Bai Xiuying didn't believe that she would adopt a child from an orphanage and exchange sincerity for sincerity. How could she not provide for them in their old age?

But my wife is the mainstay of the family and the head of the household, and I can't go against her wishes. I sighed helplessly and sat on a chair beside me, not knowing what to say. The couple each thought about their own thoughts and sighed from time to time.

Jia Dongxu was very angry at the door of He Yuzhu's house, and was ridiculed again when he returned home. In addition, Yi Zhonghai had just scolded him in the yard, which made him feel really depressed. He put on his coat and prepared to go outside to relax. Seeing this scene, Jia Zhang and her mother-in-law did not care much and each did their own thing.

Seeing this scene, Jia Dongxu felt his heart was even heavier. His mother and wife didn't even comfort him, and shook their heads helplessly. He secretly took out two big unity notes from his small treasury, which were bought with the scraps he stole from the factory. He was going to try his luck at the casino tonight. Isn't there a saying? Failure in love, success in the casino.

Although this statement is a bit inappropriate, it does make sense. It has only been a few years since the liberation of the city of Beijing. Although the government has banned gambling, there are still many small underground casinos. The one Jia Dongxu went to before has long been closed down, so he plans to try his luck in a newly opened casino.

This casino was also brought to him by his coworker, which illustrates the truth that if you keep company with a good person, you will be good; if you keep company with a bad person, you will be bad. None of Jia Dongxu's friends are ambitious, they are all useless. But Jia Dongxu doesn't think it's a big deal. Instead, he feels that he has a very good relationship with people in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, and those people are all his brothers.

The casino was not far from the courtyard, and it was easy to get there after a few detours. When he was almost there, he ran into a fellow card player. Jia Dongxu smiled and said to the person in front of him, "Hey, Old Zhou Zhoujin, I didn't expect to run into you here."

Zhou Jin turned his head and glanced at Jia Dongxu, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "It turns out to be you, Old Jia. You also want to come here to try your luck tonight." Jia Dongxu nodded with a smile and said, "Yeah, I plan to come here to have some fun tonight. Old Zhou, what about you? Doesn't your wife forbid you to come to this kind of place?"

Zhou Jin curled his lips and said, "How can a man's affairs be influenced by a woman? I have the final say at home. If anyone dares to say something against my will, he will be obedient after a few slaps. But you, Old Jia, I heard that you have to hand over your salary every month to your mother. Where did you make your money?"

Jia Dongxu's old face turned red, and he said in a somewhat unpleasant tone, "Old Zhou, don't talk nonsense. I keep most of my monthly salary. Why should my mother keep it for me?" Zhou Jin looked at Jia Dongxu, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Old Jia, do you think you believe what you said in your heart? Come on, buddy, I'm just very curious. I think if you have any way to make a fortune, you have to think about me."

Jia Dongxu sighed, but in his heart he thought that he had such a good way to make money, how could he tell others about it? Jia Dongxu shook his head and said, "What way to make money? I'm not in a good mood today. Let's go in and kill everyone. If we can win some money, let's go to the Eight Great Hutongs for a stroll."

Zhou Jin smiled and said, "I heard that you married a beautiful wife. Your wife at home is so beautiful, why do you still go out to hunt for food?" Jia Dongxu curled his lips and said, "Isn't it natural for us men to find a few women? Besides, domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers. Let's go later, I seem to have heard that there are a few beautiful girls in the Eight Great Hutongs, you..."

Zhou Jin showed a lewd expression and said, "Since you have invited me so enthusiastically, I, Old Zhou, will definitely risk my life to accompany you. Let's go, let's go in and kill everyone first." The two of them walked into a small courtyard arm in arm. Because they were familiar faces, the thugs from the casino did not ask too many questions.

The room was quite lively, even though it looked deserted from the outside. A scarred man came over with a smile and said to Jia Dongxu, "Hey, you were introduced by Qian Jin, what's your name?" Jia Dongxu quickly said with a smile, "Hey, Dahu. My name is Jia Dongxu, Dahu is here today."

According to Qian Jin, who introduced himself last time, this ferocious-looking man is called Cao Dali. It is said that he was a real gangster in the past, and he seemed to have killed someone.
