During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
Ge Yurong blushed at what he said, but he no longer cared about it at this moment.
He is in urgent need of money to make up for his losses.
The little money my mother-in-law scrapes out of her teeth every month is barely enough for him to pay the high-interest loan interest.
Only by winning a big sum can he completely fill the hole of debt.
So when he heard Mrs. Ye say that Lin Yumei was now preparing banquets for dignitaries and earned more than Wang Ge, he immediately started to have evil thoughts.
If he could get some money from Lin Yumei, he could go to the casino again.
So even though the other party was a poor relative from the countryside whom he usually looked down upon, Ge Yurong still had the audacity to ask for it.
Wang Ge didn't expect Ge Yurong to have the nerve to ask for money, so he shouted, "Go ahead, don't you think I'm afraid of you? You're just a gambler and you still have the nerve to extort money!"
"I'll go there and ask the officials to judge the situation and calculate how much money you cheated from my mother so that you can return it to me without losing a penny!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Who cheated me of the money? Your mother gave it to me on her own initiative!" Ge Yurong wanted to save face because there were outsiders present.
"When your sister married me, she was definitely marrying above her station. After all these years, she still couldn't even give birth to a son. I didn't despise her and sent her back home. I've already given your family a lot of face by not abandoning her.
"I'm in a bit of trouble right now, and my mother-in-law feels sorry for me, so what's wrong with giving me some money?
"I'm afraid I'll scare you guys if I tell you this, but as long as I can win big, let alone ten taels of silver, a hundred or even a thousand taels would be no problem.
"By then, even if you want to curry favor with me and give me money, I won't care!"
These words left everyone present speechless.
Maybe this is the mentality of taking chances that all those who are deeply addicted to gambling cannot extricate themselves?
"You've been gambling for so long, how many times have you won? Aren't you almost bankrupt?"
"That's just bad luck. If I were lucky, I'd just win once and I wouldn't have to worry about anything!"
"Wake up! If you could win, you would have done it long ago. Look at all the people who have lost everything because of gambling. Who has actually made their money back?"
Seeing that he was unmoved, Wang Ge could only say, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your wife and children, right?
"It's a good thing you have the house left by your parents, otherwise your wife and children would have to sleep on the street with you."
When talking about the house, Ge Yurong's originally righteous expression suddenly flashed with a trace of guilt.
When Xiao Wang saw that he avoided her gaze, a bad premonition suddenly came to her mind.
"Ge Yurong, you didn't mortgage the house, did you?"
No wonder those debt collectors didn't mention the house at all when they came, but only said they wanted to use her and the child to pay off the debt!
It turned out that the house was mortgaged to someone else.
If her mother hadn't scraped together a little money every month to help them pay the interest, the family would have been kicked out of the house long ago.
The more Xiao Wang thought about it, the more desperate she became. Her eyes went dark and her body went limp.
Wang Ge quickly stepped forward to support his sister.
Although Lin Yumei was angry, she didn't care about anything else when she saw this situation. She hurried over to help, first helped Xiao Wang into the house and put her on the bed.
Wang Ge walked up to Ge Yurong and asked sternly, "Did you really mortgage the house as well?"
For the first time, Ge Yurong lowered his head in front of Wang Ge.
Wang Ge's heart sank when he saw this.
This is a house in Beijing! Although it is not big, it is enough for the whole family to have a place to stay.
If his ancestors had not always lived in Beijing, Ge Yurong would not be able to afford such a house even if he worked his whole life.
If he couldn't pay back the money and the house was taken away by someone to pay off the debt, then this family would be completely finished.
Besides, a house in Beijing is not cheap, so how much money does Ge Yurong owe?
The more Wang Ge thought about it, the more frightened he became. When he looked at Ge Yurong, his own thoughts inevitably came out in his eyes.
Seeing this, Ge Yurong became a little angry and said, "Don't look at me like that. Even if I am down and out, I am still better than you!
"After I turn over..."
"You're still thinking about turning things around after all this? Besides the casino owners, who else can get rich gambling? There are so many people whose families have been ruined!
"If you continue to be so stubborn, there's no need for you to divorce your wife. I'll have to let my sister divorce you. At worst, I can take them both home.
"If you save the money my mother gives you every month, it will be enough to support them both!"
Ge Yurong widened his eyes when he heard this. He didn't expect that the Wang family would dare to take the initiative to ask for a divorce from him.
You have to know that the reason he was willing to marry Xiao Wang was not because he couldn't find a wife of equal status, but because Xiao Wang was pretty and he fell in love with her at first sight.
But after being married for so many years, he had long been tired of seeing any beautiful appearance. In addition, Xiao Wang couldn't even give birth to a son, so Ge Yurong had long begun to find fault with her.
Ge Yurong had also thought about divorcing his wife and remarrying.
However, because I now owe too much debt and need to rely on my mother-in-law for help, I temporarily suppressed this idea.
He originally thought that after he won a lot of money, if Xiao Wang was willing to be obedient and allow him to take a concubine, he would force her to stay.
But if Xiao Wang is not sensible, he will divorce her and take her home, and marry a young and beautiful woman to give birth to a son.
Who would have thought that before he even took any action, Wang Ge actually dared to say that he wanted Xiao Wang to divorce him.
No matter what he thought in his heart, Ge Yurong remained very tough in his words.
