Chen Fu secretly exhaled in his heart and nodded, "I heard the dealer say this - there is no one else in our gambling house with the last name Huo, right?"
The skinny monkey quickly shook his head, "No, no, no! This is the only one! Make sure you pick this tooth!"
Chen Fu: Your tooth is indeed difficult to replicate.
Chen Fu confirmed the look in his eyes and realized that he had met the right person. He then relaxed and let the two skinny monkeys carry him to the inner room to get the money and sign the contract.
"How much do you want?"

Chen Fu patted his chest as if he had just survived a disaster. "Gambling is not something that humans do! Who has the energy and spirit to do it for four or five days straight? Those people don't sleep! They don't eat!"
Xianjin smiled.
Considering how lazy and indolent her cheap father is, gambling is indeed a bit tiring.
"Did you get the banknotes?"
Xianjin asked softly.
Chen Fu nodded vigorously, took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, and said expectantly, "What should we do now? When will we pay back the banknotes? The interest will increase after ten days!"
Xianjin absentmindedly lifted the curtain, looked at the crowd outside the window, and uttered a few words, "Repay? We won't pay this money back."
