Shen Heng, the village bully of Shili Village, has a fierce and intimidating persona.
To everyone's surprise, his newly wedded little wife is not afraid of him at all. In fact, she keeps ...
"What are you doing? Trying to leave? You still owe Brother Cheng thirty yuan."
The man was not tall, but his face was full of fleshy muscles, and there was a dark scar at the corner of his eye, which made him look somewhat fierce.
Thirty yuan was a small amount of money for Yang Fenglin, but now all he had left was the clothes on his back.
He felt somewhat embarrassed in front of Bai Jiaojiao and Shen Heng.
Seeing this, Bai Jiaojiao quickly pulled Shen Heng over: "What money do you owe? Feng Lin, what's going on here? Did someone scam you?"
"Hey, hey, hey, the girl is pretty, why are you talking so rudely? What do you mean by lying? We didn't lie to him. He made the bet, he was the one who agreed to it."
The man sitting opposite Yang Fenglin was fairly presentable, but under the dim light, his gaze made Bai Jiaojiao uncomfortable.
His words made Bai Jiaojiao frown. She asked Yang Fenglin, "What exactly happened?"
Yang Fenglin pointed to the table, on which were three small bowls placed upside down, neatly arranged in a row.
"This guy had a small ball in his hand. He put the ball in one of the bowls, then moved the bowl around and let me guess. It was five yuan a round, and if I guessed correctly, he would give me ten yuan. I played here all afternoon and only won two rounds."
Yang Fenglin became more and more aggrieved as he spoke. He couldn't understand it. He had played at least forty or fifty rounds. Even if he was just guessing, there were only three bowls in total. Even if he didn't look, he could still guess one-third of the time correctly with his eyes closed.
Bai Jiaojiao saw that Yang Fenglin was still calling him "Big Brother," which clearly showed that she had been deceived.
"This is a scam."
Yang Fenglin's family is wealthy and powerful. Although he is a playboy, he never does anything bad. He is simple-minded and has no sense of caution towards others because he can do whatever he wants in Yancheng.
Those who come to Zhuzhou to seek their fortune these days are all shrewd and calculating. This business has low costs, but if you run into someone like Yang Fenglin, you'll make a killing.
The watch that Yang Fenglin just bought this morning is already in someone else's hands.
Bai Jiaojiao's words angered the short man standing to the side: "If you keep talking nonsense, believe me, I'll tear your mouth apart."
Shen Heng slammed his hand on the table with a loud bang: "You better keep quiet!"
That short guy wasn't even as tall as Bai Jiaojiao, and in front of Shen Heng, he looked like he'd been cut in half.
He shuddered as he looked at Shen Heng, then glanced at Cheng Ge, who was sitting down.
Shen Heng threatened, "This is gambling. Give him all his money back right now, or we'll call the police."
"Call the police? Go ahead and call them. We're just earning a living here with our skills. I've been here for over six months, and I'm not afraid of you! We earn our money through our skills. If he thinks I'm cheating him, he can stop right now. He's already had his fun, and now he wants a refund? What, isn't my afternoon's work worth money?"
Brother Cheng isn't someone who can be easily intimidated. He has his own skills to be able to set up a stall here.
Bai Jiaojiao said, "Alright, then let's do it your way."
She patted Yang Fenglin, signaling him to stand up, and then sat down opposite Brother Cheng.
"Feng Lin, how much money did he ask for from you?"
"I had eighty dollars on me, and I paid for the watch with it as two hundred dollars."
The watch had only been on the counter for half a day, costing 240 yuan, and Yang Fenglin hadn't even had a chance to enjoy it before the price dropped by 40 yuan.
"So, adding the thirty you just mentioned you owe, it's three hundred and one, right?"
Yang Fenglin couldn't even count anymore, so he just nodded randomly whenever Bai Jiaojiao told him how many there were.
Bai Jiaojiao took off her gold bracelet: "Can this be used as a discount of 310?"
This bracelet isn't thick, but it's solid; its design is simple, yet it's made of pure gold.
Cheng Ge wanted to take it to check its quality, but Bai Jiaojiao took the gold bracelet back: "Are you going to gamble? If you win, you can have it. If I win, you give me double the amount of 310."
"Alright, let's play a round then. Little girl, we're all about honesty here. If you have good judgment, we're willing to accept the consequences. But if you lose, please don't cry."
Brother Cheng is making money without any investment; Bai Jiaojiao is practically throwing money away. He's overjoyed.
"Then watch closely, the rules are very simple. I'll put the ball in this bowl, and you just have to guess where it is. If you guess right, you win."
Cheng Ge smiled and lifted the bowl in the middle.
Bai Jiaojiao looked at him calmly without saying a word.
After moving the three bowls around for a while, Cheng Ge stopped and looked at Bai Jiaojiao: "Okay, guess now."
As he spoke, his gaze fell on the bracelet beside Bai Jiaojiao, his greed suggesting that the gold bracelet was already his.
Bai Jiaojiao pointed to the one in the middle and said casually, "This one."
Brother Cheng said, "Little sister, have you thought it through?"
"I'll guess this."
Bai Jiaojiao said.
Yang Fenglin said anxiously from the side, "No, sister, I've been staring at it the whole time, it's the one on the left, it must be the one on the left!"
He was afraid that Bai Jiaojiao would lose her gold bracelet because of this, so he clenched his fists and urged Bai Jiaojiao to change her answer.
Then Brother Cheng laughed and said, "Do you want to listen to him? Give a different answer?"
Bai Jiaojiao said, "The one in the middle."
"Then I'll start it."
Cheng Ge reached out his hand to the bowl, about to lift it, but Bai Jiaojiao stopped him, saying, "Wait."
"Little sister, what do you mean by this?"
When her slender, white fingers touched the back of his hand, Cheng Ge felt a little distracted.
"Little sister, if you're good to me, I don't need this gold bracelet."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Heng kicked him under the stool.
