"Master, this is it."

There was a big sign hanging at the door with the word "Gamble" written on it. This was the casino. Cao Xiangnan looked up.

"Come in."

After he gave his name outside, he was taken inside by the thugs. There was a small room with a square table. Cao Xiangnan went in and found a seat to sit down. Someone served him tea.

As soon as he sat down, he heard footsteps coming. Several people came over.

"Haha... Mr. Cao's name has long been heard by Chen. I didn't expect that today I would have the opportunity to witness Mr. Cao's demeanor. He is indeed a handsome man." Mr. Zhao was the boss of the casino. As soon as he came in, he looked up and down at the boy waiting in the room.

He had heard a little about Caojia Village. A young man from Caojia Village opened a shop in this town and started a business. It was said that he had a good relationship with the shopkeeper of Yipinzhai, and his business was booming. As a casino owner, he opened a casino to make a little money and didn't interfere with anyone else.

It was natural to pay back debts, and Zhao Tian didn't steal or rob.

He didn't expect that the one who owed several hundred taels in their casino this time was Cao Xiangnan's brother. This was really unexpected.

"Boss Zhao." Cao Xiangnan stood up, knowing that this man was the owner of this casino, and scanned the people in the room. Boss Zhao understood and waved his hand to let the people following him go out first.

Cao Xiangnan did not beat around the bush and took out three silver bills from his sleeve, not more, not less, exactly three hundred taels, and said, "Here are three hundred taels, I hope Boss Zhao can release my second brother."

"Of course, of course." Boss Zhao smiled.

"Before that, Xiangnan has another unwelcome request, I hope Boss Zhao can do me a small favor." Cao Xiangnan's smile was a little cold, and he said to Boss Zhao with a smile.

"Okay, as long as Zhao can help me." Boss Zhao was also straightforward. For the sake of the three hundred taels, it was just a small favor, a small matter.

Three hundred taels, buy a finger of your second brother, Cao, it's not a loss!

His second brother has always loved gambling, and what he wants to do is to make Cao second never dare to go to the gambling table again. He can wipe Cao second's ass once, but it doesn't mean he is willing to wipe his ass for his whole life! If he dares to gamble again in the future, I will cut off one finger each time I catch him. I will cut off all ten of his fingers one by one!

When Cao Xiangnan gets cold-hearted, no one is more ruthless than him.

When Cao Laoer went back, he was carried back by someone. His hands were wrapped in sackcloth, and one of his ten fingers was missing. In addition, he was locked up in the casino for two days, hungry for two days, and beaten several times. His face was bruised and purple, and he looked very miserable.

"Oh, my poor son..." Chen Zhu howled when she saw her son being carried back. A closer look revealed that she didn't even have a tear. It was just thunder without rain.

At the door were people from the village who were watching the excitement. Chen Zhu's face changed and he drove them away and closed the gate of the yard. Seeing the noisy people leave with curses, who would want to see the trivial things in your Cao family compound? But there are also many people gossiping afterwards.

Cao Laoer was able to come back, probably because Cao Silang took three hundred taels of silver to redeem him. That's three hundred taels, not thirty or thirty taels. They can't earn so much silver in their lifetime.

Only Cao Silang was willing to take out three hundred taels of silver to bring the person back because of his brotherly love. If it were any of them, they would definitely not be willing to take out so much silver to get such a person back. It would be better to keep it for themselves to build a yard and buy dozens of acres of land, so that several generations will not have to worry about food and clothing!

As soon as Wang Yan saw her husband coming back, she wanted to make a fuss about divorcing Cao Laoer.

Chen Zhu cursed in the yard, saying all sorts of things, and the curses were very unpleasant. People outside heard the noises in the Cao family compound, and later they didn't know why she stopped cursing, and they were also scolded by Cao's father.

There were not many sensible people in this family, but Cao's father was a sensible one. He understood better than anyone else. If Wang Yan stayed, the younger ones would have someone to rely on, and Erlang would have someone to take care of him in the future. People's hearts are selfish, and he, as a father, lowered his posture and spoke to Wang Yan in a gentle voice, asking Wang Yan to stay.

The children in the house were crying, and the crying was deafening.

Several children surrounded their mother, and their mother was going to leave them, and their mother didn't want them anymore.

"Father, I beg you, please let Erlang and I divorce, please let me live." Wang Yan knelt down and begged her father. If her husband had not been lying in bed, she would have gotten up and beaten him when she heard that he was going to divorce her.

Unfortunately, the man was lying in bed and couldn't get up, so she couldn't do anything to him. She knew that she couldn't live with her husband anymore.

"Father, the youngest boy is still young, and the second and third brothers are both brothers, so I will take them away. Tianbao is the eldest son and a boy, so he will stay here with his father, so that he can take care of his father in the future. I will pay for the second and third brothers' dowries myself, and you don't have to give me a penny. The youngest boy is still young, and I will raise him myself in the future, and you don't have to pay a penny."

Holding his most beloved youngest child, who was his youngest child, the child he had always held in the palm of his hand and loved until he grew up, Wang Yan naturally couldn't bear to leave the child here. He gave birth to four children for the Cao family, the first one was a boy, and the middle two were brothers. Because he gave birth to two brothers in a row, he didn't know how many times he was looked down upon by his mother, so he tried his best to have another boy. Fortunately, the last one was a boy.

Wang Yan touched her belly, but she didn't know whether the child in her belly was a boy or a boy. There was a hint of sadness on her lips. She had made up her mind to leave.

Wang Yan's father and mother passed away a few years ago. Her family was poor in those years. She lived in a big tiled house with green bricks. Her two brothers thought she had married well. When they asked him for some rice and grain when they had nothing to eat, he never gave them a penny. Now she went back to ask her two brothers for help, but she was afraid it would be in vain.

Her husband refused to let her go. In desperation, Wang Yan went to Li Zheng and asked for a divorce.

For a moment, Li Zheng couldn't decide whether to give in or not. If he agreed to Wang Yan's request, what would Cao Laoer do if he went? Li Zheng was also very troubled by this matter, so he had to ask someone to find the village chief and ask him how to deal with it.

"Go find Deputy Village Chief Cao and Deputy Village Chief Sun." Cao Gang's wife had just given birth and was still in confinement. No one at home could take care of her. He was busy all day, so he didn't know how to deal with such a matter. He asked the two deputy village chiefs to go and take a look, but he didn't even show up.

Anyway, there was no need for the village chief if there was no major event in the village, so he threw all the small matters to the two deputy village chiefs to deal with. They formulated a new election system. In the future, the village chief will be selected from the two deputy village chiefs. If you want to be the village chief, you must first be the deputy village chief. As for the head of the village, it will be selected from the ten village representatives. The one with the highest prestige and fair and just will be selected.

With such a system, the two deputy village chiefs work hard, and the ten representatives also do their best to do a good job in the village.

Since ancient times, only husbands divorced their sons. How can a son ask for it? This has never happened before.

When this matter spread to the village, people said all kinds of things, but most of them were excited.

Cao Xiangnan also heard about the things in the village. He remembered that Wang Yan had promised him that she would help him.

They had been preparing to move to the town these days. There were still two or three days left before the date they had set, so they were ready to move. There was not much to pack at home. Everyone had to pack their clothes and take their daily things with them. They didn't need to take things that were there, so it was actually quite a lot to pack. There

was also the issue of the children going to school. They lived some distance from the academy. The academy was a long way outside Caojia Village, and they were just a little far from the town. It didn't matter much. It was up to them to let the children go by themselves or arrange a horse carriage to pick them up.

He ran around all day, Cao Xiangnan had a lot of things to do, and he couldn't take care of anything else for a while.

Everyone has a gossipy heart. Sun Bailian, who was in confinement, knew everything about the village. Someone came to see her husband that day and told him that Wang Yan was trying to divorce Cao Laoer. When he saw Wanfeng, he asked about it.

Qi Wanfeng was helpless. This was really a bad news that spread far and wide. Even people who didn't step out of the house knew about it. Seeing that Bailian had been locked in the room for so long and hadn't even left the door, he felt sorry for him, so he had to chat with him to relieve his boredom.

When Sun Bailian heard that Wanfeng took three taels of silver to redeem Cao Laoer, he looked at Qi Wanfeng as if he was a fool and asked, "Go out and ask outside, who is willing to take Cao Laoer away for three taels of silver?"

"Only you and Xiangnan are easy to bully, that's why they bully you all day long!" Sun Bailian was heartbroken to return three hundred taels of silver. How many people could he buy to work for the three hundred taels of silver!

"Let's not talk about it. It makes me upset when I talk

about it." "Yes, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you." Qi Wanfeng mentioned that he was going to move to the town in two days. Bailian had given birth to a child and was in confinement. He forgot to tell Bailian about it for a while, and only told him now that he remembered it.

"You want me to be alone in Caojia Village? You know that I am not close to anyone in the village except you. Once you leave, I will have no one to talk to." Sun Bailian refused to listen to this and held Qi Wanfeng's hand, intending to stop him from leaving.

Qi Wanfeng smiled helplessly and reminded him that his family's newly bought yard was also in the town, not far from his yard in the town. They would still be neighbors when they moved to the town and could visit each other anytime.

This reminded Sun Bailian, and he slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot."

His family also had a yard in the town. His husband told him about it, but he had never visited it after buying it. Ever since her belly started to grow, her husband wouldn't let her go far away, fearing the bumpy ride on the road, so naturally she hadn't been to the town for a long time.

Qi Wanfeng had no choice but to comfort Sun Bailian and ask her to ask her husband to wait for a good day, and then they could move there. By then, the baby would be out of confinement and old enough to see the wind, so they could move there together.

Their shop was in the town, and Aning was in charge of the shop in the town. It was convenient for them to help out in the shop in the town, and they could often see Aning. The more they talked, the more they felt that it would be nice to live in the town.

The house here was also kept, so if they wanted to come back and live here, they could come back. When winter came, they could still live comfortably in the village.
