Lin Shiqi and her estranged CEO husband transmigrated together into an ancient farming family during a famine year.
The CEO husband became the old Zhou family's silly son, while Lin Shiqi...
Chapter 38 Zhou Lang, can you do it?
He put all the blame on Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou could still breathe a sigh of relief, but after hearing his words, she died with her eyes open.
Lin Shiqi’s idea was very simple.
As long as Mrs. Zhou doesn't die, the protagonist Zhou Qinan's inner demon will always be there, and he will not be able to take off.
As long as the male protagonist is not in power, the people in the Zhou family will have a way to survive.
Of course, the people in the Zhou family are really disappointing. They are all weirdos, and Mrs. Zhou is also biased. From the perspective of the male protagonist Zhou Qinan, this family deserves to die.
But think about it from another angle, every family has its own problems. The Zhou family really has no intention of harming the eldest wife. At most, it's just that Mrs. Zhou likes to scold people. The male protagonist Zhou Qinan makes up his own story. In addition, he feels that the Zhou family is not capable of leading him, will only hold him back, and will be detrimental to his future official career, so he is hostile to the whole family.
The Zhou family is all very good, but even the best have the right to survive.
Besides, the four wives, Zhou Sisha and the child bride are completely innocent people. What's wrong with them wanting to protect themselves?
If her and Zhou Lang's way of survival conflicts with Zhou Dalang, then she can only protect their own survival first.
She can't deal with Zhou Qinan alone.
Now that she has her dog Zhou Lang here, she is confident that she can fight.
Of course, it would be even better if we could get along well with Zhou Dalang.
They are now inseparable from Old Zhou's family. They are from the lineage of Old Zhou and are tightly bound to them. So they can only protect their friendly staff, Old Zhou, so that she cannot die.
In addition, they have been living together for several days, and Mrs. Zhou has been genuinely good to Zhou Lang, and she is also very good to her now.
Mrs. Zhou's character is not as bad as described in the book. She is just an evil mother-in-law with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
There's nothing wrong with saving her.
At dinner time, Liu went to serve the meal while holding her noodles half-covered.
Lin Shiqi saw that her face was red and swollen, with clear finger marks, and asked her what was wrong.
Liu said that she bumped into it accidentally.
He looked like he didn't want to say more.
Lin Shiqi didn't ask any more questions.
After dinner, Mrs. Liu took the two children over.
The two children slept in Lin Shiqi's room for the whole afternoon. They were very quiet and well behaved.
As soon as he returned to the third bedroom, he started crying again.
Lin Shiqi and the others can’t do anything about this.
It was getting dark, and she and Zhou Lang still had something secretive to do. No, something important to do.
After nightfall, Zhou's family went to bed early.
Lin Shiqi and Zhou Lang returned home again. They now use the same-heart lock to buy things on Pinduoduo, and it is particularly effective.
Try once and succeed once.
After they went back, they didn't stay long. They just took whatever they needed.
Save energy.
This time I went back and brought some cosmetics, and simply put on makeup for the two of them so that even their parents wouldn't recognize them.
Zhou Lang was transformed into a man with a full beard and a scar at the corner of his eyebrow, making him look extremely ferocious.
She also painted herself as a servant, with a few big moles and pockmarks on her face.
Both of them saw the word "disdain" in each other's eyes.
That's success.
Set off.
The gambling house in the north of Longquan Town does better business at night.
There were bright oil lamps lit inside and there were a lot of people inside. There were people surrounding each table.
Zhou Lang and his wife entered pretending to be master and servant.
In order to act more realistically, I went to the town's clothing store and bought two sets of clothes. The store was closed, so I knocked on the door and bought them.
This is considered an upfront investment.
When they arrived at the gambling house, the doorman took a look at the two men's attire.
"Hey, gentlemen, please come in, please come in..."
Very enthusiastic.
Lin Shiqi raised his voice and said, "Our master is a businessman. He passed by your Longquan Town and heard that there is a place for fun here, so he came to play."
"Then you have come to the right place. Longquan Town is the best place to have fun. You can choose what kind of games you want to play. We have dice, cards, cricket fighting, King Kong racing, and everything else..."
Zhou Lang said in a muffled voice, "Play whatever has the most people."
Lin Shiqi added, "Our master just loves to have fun."
Those who play the most also win and lose the most.
As he spoke, he took out a tael of silver and gave it as a reward to the doorman who was leading the way.
Now Menzi was overjoyed.
I thought to myself, I’m lucky today, a big fat sheep came to my door!
If I don't dig out a few hundred taels of silver, I would feel sorry for such a good opportunity.
The peasants in the countryside would get greedy for a few taels of silver at a time, and if they got dozens of taels, their parents would chase them and beat them.
Look at these truly rich people, their tips start at two taels.
With a smile on his face, he took them to the hottest table.
He also cleared out the best seat for Zhou Lang to sit down.
This table is for playing dice, which is the most popular and simplest.
At first they played normally, and Zhou Lang was generous, losing thirty taels of silver in one go.
The more the banker looked at him, the more he liked him.
He lost thirty taels of silver without even blinking an eye.
Continuing to play, Zhou Lang lost another twenty taels.
Lin Shiqi couldn't help but gently pull his sleeve. They didn't have much capital, only eighty taels of silver in total. They had spent more than ten taels on buying clothes and another tael as a tip, leaving only more than sixty taels.
In just a short while, he lost fifty taels.
"No, Zhou Lang, can you do it? If not, let's retreat..."
If I lose all my money, I will suffer a huge loss tonight.
Zhou Lang didn't move at all and continued to press.
He directly pledged the remaining ten taels of silver.
The simplest bet on size.
Zhou Lang bet small. Seeing this, the other gamblers hurriedly said, "Let's open big, big, bet big. This kid always loses. Let's bet the opposite of him and he will be right..."
Everyone bet on the big number.
This time something unexpected happened.
As soon as the box is opened!
big!
Zhou Lang won.
This time, Zhou Lang won back the fifty taels of silver he had lost before.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The dealer was also surprised.
The gambling game continued, and Zhou Lang remained expressionless, as steady as a mountain.
He yawned and said, "I'm a little sleepy. I won't play two more games."
After that, he casually deposited thirty taels of silver...
Longquan Town is just a small place, and there are only a few people who make so many moves at once.
Everyone gambled by the number of coppers. One tael of silver was equivalent to one string of coins, and one string of coins had thousands of coppers. The minimum bet for a game was one hundred coppers.
Those who play two games are all big players.
Because Zhou Lang had lost a lot before, no one took this win seriously and thought he was just lucky.
They kept a wait-and-see attitude, some tried to bet with him, some didn't, and some simply gave up playing and stopped to watch the fun.
This time, Zhou Lang won again!
He bet thirty taels, and the dealer had confidence in himself and followed suit with sixty taels, and there was also the scattered silver from retail investors...
Zhou Lang won more than eighty taels.
Lin Shiqi was watching on the side, stunned.
