Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

After saying goodbye to Director Zhang, Liu Guozheng and Lou Xiao'e were no longer in the mood to walk around, so they decided to walk back slowly.

Originally, Chen Xiaolan was going to go out today, but the third brother didn't want to and insisted on having a good rest at home for a day. Chen Xiaolan had no choice but to stay at home with the third brother.

"Brother Zheng, the children from the welfare home are so pitiful. They lost their parents at a young age. It is said that they don't have enough to eat every day."

Lou Xiao'e was not interested. She used to go to the welfare home frequently and often donated food and clothes. After all, she had never lacked money since she was a child.

"Ugh!"

Liu Guozheng sighed.

"what happened?"

"Nothing, let's wait and see tomorrow. We can go there from time to time when we have time. It will be considered as our best intention."

"Uh-huh."

The two walked in silence like this until they came to an intersection. There were a lot of people gathered at the intersection. It was almost time to get off work. No matter which factory it was, there would always be some people who left work early.

"I guess one."

"One is definitely wrong. What I saw clearly is two. If you listen to me, it is definitely two."

"Get lost, stop making a fuss, you have the money to play it yourself."

"I don't like gambling."

"If you don't like gambling, then hold it back for now."

"Yes, yes, those who don't want to gamble, don't make a sound."

"That's it, damn it, it affects my mood."

"..."

It sounds lively, as if someone is gambling.

"Brother Zheng, let's go take a look."

Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up. She had only heard of gambling before but had never had the chance to see it. Today, she encountered it, so of course she had to take a look. There were quite a few female comrades surrounding them.

"What's there to see when a bunch of gamblers are here?"

Whether in his past life or in this life, Liu Guozheng has no interest in gambling. Of course, every Chinese New Year when he returns to his hometown, he and his brothers play Landlord and Bull Fight together, but this does not count as gambling.

“I haven’t seen this before.”

Liu Guozheng couldn't persuade Lou Xiaoe, so they both walked over.

"Liu Guozheng?"

Jia Dongxu's eyes lit up. He really didn't expect that Liu Guozheng would be so curious when he went shopping with his wife. He just wanted to be curious and try to win some money from Liu Guozheng. So, Jia Dongxu challenged him, "Liu Guozheng, do you dare to try?"

When he saw the two bowls and Jia Dongxu on the ground, Liu Guozheng understood. This must have been Jia Dongxu's idea. This thing was used to take away all of Jia Dongxu and his friends' money.

"Hehe, how much do you play?"

"piece."

"I don't play with poor people. I can't afford to lose face."

"you.."

What else could Jia Dongxu say? He was just here to show his support. Even though there were several hundred dollars in the bag, that was not something he could use.

Liu Guozheng offended everyone around him with just one sentence.

"Who are you? Who can't brag?"

"That's right, show off your money."

"Yes, yes, yes, let us poor devils open our eyes."

"Come on, make way for the rich man."

"..."

Seeing that she had aroused public anger, Lou Xiao'e pulled Liu Guozheng and prepared to leave. She couldn't let Liu Guozheng fight with others.

Liu Guozheng, who is usually very steady, didn't know what was wrong with him today. He said something offensive as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Friend, how about the ten-dollar one? If it's too small, how about the fifty-dollar one?"

Hou Si was unwilling to do so. He already had 200 yuan in his hand. After deducting 100 yuan as capital, the remaining 100 yuan was earned this afternoon.

"What do you call a friend?"

"Hou Si, people on the street call him Fourth Brother."

"I have a question."

"Then you ask?"

"How much money do you have in that bag?"

"Two hundred and twenty dollars."

"If I win everything, will you let me go?"

"My friend, if you have the ability, I'm afraid you don't have the money."

Hou Si looked at Liu Guozheng with a provocative look.

"I have no money? How could I have no money?"

As he spoke, Liu Guozheng took out a wad of money from his pocket, patted it on his palm, and continued, "This is two hundred yuan. I was in a hurry to leave today, so I brought two hundred yuan with me."

"Brother Zheng, let's not gamble. Let's go."

Lou Xiao'e tried hard to persuade Liu Guozheng, but now she regretted that she shouldn't have been curious and wanted to come and take a look.

Hou Si looked at Liu Guozheng with a smile: "My friend, you'd better leave. I don't think you are capable of being the head of a family."

Jia Dongxu cooperated: "Liu Guozheng, do you dare to play? Give me a straight answer, don't let me look down on you."

"Come on, fifty. Do you dare?"

As he spoke, Liu Guozheng squatted in front of several people.

"Okay, my friend is so domineering. Today, I, Hou Si, will make you my friend and let you try it."

"Keep your word."

"Of course, I, Hou Si, will defend myself. Besides, so many friends are watching here. How dare I cheat?"

"Um"

Liu Guozheng nodded.

This made Lou Xiao'e very anxious. She really didn't expect that Liu Guozheng would change so much today. Could it be that he was pretending before? Was he, Liu Guozheng, a gambler in the past?

"Look, my friend, I'm about to start."

After saying that, Hou Si threw a black bean into the bowl, then covered the other bowl and said, "Guess it, my friend."

"one."

Hou Si opened the bowl and saw that it was indeed one.

"Haha, this is too easy, right?"

The people around looked at Liu Guozheng like a fool. Could he be some rich second-generation rich man? Hou Si obviously slowed down his pace. Anyone with eyesight could see clearly that it was a star.

"Friends, shall we officially begin?"

"Okay, let's get started quickly. I'll show you how I kill everyone."

Seeing Liu Guozheng getting so angry, Lou Xiao'e was almost in tears. What should she do in the future when there is a gambler in the family?

In the first fight, Hou Si's speed was obviously much faster.

Someone nearby said, "Friend, listen to me, it's definitely two."

Liu Guozheng pretended to be disdainful and said, "Who are you? If you don't have money, don't say anything."

"Yes, yes, my friend is right. If you don't have money, you'd better keep quiet, otherwise... humph!"

Hou Si glared fiercely at the person who had just spoken, with a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

Liu Guozheng spoke up: "I guess it's one."

"Haha, sorry, friend, you lose."

Jia Dongxu and Hou Si smiled at each other. They deserved to get rich. As long as they could win the money from Liu Guozheng, they could get an extra 20 yuan each.

"Come again."

Liu Guozheng refused to admit defeat.

"Haha, friend, sorry, you lost again."

Liu Guozheng said fiercely: "Come again, this time I guess it's three."

"Haha, my friend, this time it's two."

"Come again"

"..."

After four consecutive bets, Liu Guozheng lost all his two hundred yuan.

"I brought less money today. Do you dare to gamble big tomorrow?"

"How big?"

"Five thousand, do you dare?"

Liu Guozheng whispered in Hou Si's ear.

There are many people talking now, so I can’t let the people around me hear it, otherwise I don’t know what will be spread tomorrow. If the police are called, that would be bad.

Hou Si also wanted to take over, but he needed to go back and discuss with Ma Liu to see if he could raise the money.

Besides, they are all small-time guys and they can’t raise 5,000 yuan a day.

But he didn't want to give up Liu Guozheng, his financial sponsor, and wanted to take the opportunity to earn more from Liu Guozheng. Thinking of this, Hou Si stretched out a finger and looked at Liu Guozheng with an inquiring look.

"Okay, we can't stay here tomorrow. Jia Dongxu knows where I live. Once you find a place, have Jia Dongxu notify me this afternoon."

"My friend is happy, so it's settled."

"A gentleman's word."

"It's hard to chase a horse."

Liu Guozheng stood up and left with Lou Xiaoe.

Hou Si and Jia Dongxu are not in the mood to continue this petty fight now. They should go back and discuss it with others and make a big profit.
