Chapter 95 This Time We're Serious
After a few rounds of shooting, Chen Fu's mind went blank.
In a trance, he felt as if he had won a few times, but when he put his hand into his pocket again to take out money, he found that his pocket was empty without him knowing when.
There was originally 500 yuan in it.
When I first started winning, I even had more than 500.
The joy of winning money seemed to be just there in the previous second, but in the next second, the cruel reality was that he not only lost all the money he had won, but even his original capital was gone.
500 yuan! If he were to save on his own, it would take him several years to save that much money.
Chen Fu couldn't remember how he lost so much, he only vaguely remembered that after Rutang came to the table, he saw the legendary Big Four Happiness, Nine Lotus Treasure Lantern...
I lost everything without knowing why.
Rutang took the can handed to her by Yu Yaoyang. He took out a can of peaches at some point, opened the can, and fed it to Rutang.
The two younger brothers who played with the eldest sister-in-law throughout the whole process were convinced by her card skills. No wonder the old man liked her for so many years, and she was actually a top student who could play cards!
"Still playing?" Rutang ate two canned peaches and felt sweeter than the cans.
She felt so comfortable at this moment. She let out the resentment that had been suppressed in her heart for two lifetimes, and she felt relaxed.
"Play!" Chen Fu squeezed out the word "play" from between his teeth, his eyes full of unwillingness.
He didn’t believe that he would lose to Rutang who was gambling for the “first time”. The gambler’s competitive spirit made him eager to turn the tables.
"Do you still have money?" Yu Yaoyang asked.
"..." Chen Fu touched his pocket and stopped talking. He looked at Zhou Si beside him for help, wanting to borrow some money from him.
Zhou Si shook his head like a rattle. He had been watching for so long that he understood everything.
Not to mention Chen Fu, even if he were to take the field, he would not be able to beat Rutang. This girl's card skills are simply superb, comparable to her man's.
"We are father and daughter, so I won't make things difficult for you. It doesn't matter if you don't have cash. We can bet on something else. This." Rutang took out a hundred-dollar bill from the thick pile of money in front of her and slapped it on the table.
"We'll decide the outcome in one round. If you can beat me in the next round, this hundred will be yours. If you can't win, you have to go to the village radio station tomorrow and use the loud speaker to apologize to Brother Yaoyang."
"I apologize to him? No!" Chen Fu refused.
He is ignorant of the law and is afraid that he will go to jail if he makes a public apology.
"Add another 100." Rutang took out a few more ten-dollar bills and stacked them on top of the previous money.
Chen Fu swallowed his saliva and was already a little shaken.
He is now addicted to gambling, and it would be too painful for him to stop, so he just wants to make a comeback.
"Think it over carefully. You only have one chance." Rutang ate three peach petals and pushed the rest to Yu Yaoyang.
Yu Yaoyang took the canned peaches and finished the rest in a few bites. The interaction between the young couple was so tacit that they looked like a family.
"Okay, what can we do if he doesn't apologize? We don't want to play anymore." Yu Yaoyang put down the empty can and pretended to take Rutang away.
"Let's bet! Let's bet on an apology!" Chen Fu hurriedly stopped him.
"Words are not enough, Fourth Uncle, go get some paper and a pen." Seeing that he had taken the bait, Rutang curled the corners of her mouth slightly.
Zhou Si was speechless at this moment. Looking at Chen Fu's obsessed behavior, he knew that he would not listen to his advice. He could only sigh and go back to the house to get paper, pen, and red ink.
Rutang wrote a few lines quickly. Chen Fu couldn't read, so he didn't know what she wrote and pressed his fingerprints in a daze.
The sound of shuffling cards rang out, and Chen Fu was concentrating fully on this round, hoping to make a comeback with this round.
But how is that possible?
Rutang won the game easily. Chen Fu subconsciously wanted to grab the paper, but Yu Yaoyang quickly raised the paper high, leaving him no chance.
"We'll be waiting for you tomorrow." Yu Yaoyang waved the paper in front of Chen Fu a few times. Seeing that the couple was about to leave, Chen Fu suddenly shouted.
"Let's play another round! If I win this round, I will get the 500 yuan prize!"
"Pfft! It's not even dark yet, and you're already talking in your sleep?" Yu Yaoyang looked at him with contempt.
"You no longer have any chips and your reputation is ruined. What else do you want to bet on?" Ru Tang asked.
The purpose of her visit today was to make Chen Fu apologize willingly on the radio, which was also her promise to her mother-in-law.
Yu Yaoyang was framed. Rutang once told her mother-in-law that no matter who spread the rumors, she would make him apologize through the village loudspeaker, and she did it.
"Bet...bet one of my fingers!" Chen Fu made up his mind and went for it.
There was a collective gasp in the room, and Zhou Si stepped forward to pull Chen Fu.
"Forget it, don't scare the child like this. We are all family. Can Rutang really take a finger from you?"
When these gamblers get too excited, they will really gamble with others. However, everyone in Dali Village is an acquaintance, and so far, no one has gambled that big.
"Don't try to persuade me. I will fight her to the death today!" A cunning light flashed in Chen Fu's eyes.
As Zhou Si said, Ru Tang is his daughter. Even if he lost, Ru Tang would never cut off his fingers. If she really dared to do so, how could she survive in the village in the future?
To put it bluntly, Chen Fu just wanted to get something for nothing. He was still greedy for Rutang's betrothal gift, and he was cheating because he couldn't afford to lose.
"Oh? Are you serious?" Rutang broke free from Yu Yaoyang's grasp, sat back on the card table, and folded her legs elegantly.
At this time, it was almost midnight. The village was silent and the villagers had gone to bed long ago. Only Thursday's underground gambling house still had the lights on.
In such a strange environment, Rutang is like a white orchid in a valley, blooming quietly.
"Seriously! You have to bet with me on this game!" Chen Fu didn't want to miss the opportunity.
"Uncle, bring me some paper and pen."
Rutang took the paper and pen and quickly wrote a few lines on it. This time he was serious.
Chen Fu, however, was confident. He was certain that Rutang would not dare to chop him. Compared to the previous gambling with real money, Chen Fu now felt a little more relaxed.
Rutang finished writing and Chen Fu put his fingerprint on it.
The crucial round officially began. Maybe Chen Fu had been unlucky all night, but his luck returned and he had a winning hand from the start.
The wrinkles on Chen Fu's face were all smiling, and he felt that the god of luck was on his side.
The remaining two people at the same table were so sleepy that they could hardly open their eyes. Today they were truly accompanying the prince to study, and there was almost no winning or losing for them. They just watched their sister-in-law perform unilaterally throughout the whole process, and everyone was getting sleepy by this point.
Chen Fushang heard it early, but after a few rounds, he still couldn't win.
Rutang held all the cards up, closed his eyes and didn't even look at them. He could tell what cards he had just by touching them.
At this point, no matter how dumb Chen Fu was, he could tell that his daughter not only knew how to play cards, but was also an extremely good player.
Chen Fu gradually became anxious, and prayed repeatedly in his heart that the next card would be a win, but unfortunately it was a useless card, so he threw it away.
"Oh." Rutang opened his eyes.
Yu Yaoyang turned over the cards she was holding, and it was just a small win. If calculated according to the normal multiples, it would be a win or loss of 2 cents.
But unfortunately, this game is not calculated according to the normal multiples.
"Tell me, which finger should you chop off?" Rutang looked at Chen Fu, whose face turned pale.
