"Who is a monkey? The whole family of the person who called you a monkey are monkeys!" Xie Yunjiao said in pretended anger.
What she said was true. Our ancestors were monkeys. That is an indisputable fact.
The person who said Yang Shengshan was a monkey now wanted to rush out and slap Xie Yunjiao twice, but she didn't dare.
Because as long as she goes out, wouldn't it be like admitting that their whole family are monkeys?
"I think this chess game is a scam. It's impossible to solve it. The people behind this kid just made it up to cheat people out of money," someone said.
In fact, he was jealous of the money he received. Who wouldn't be jealous when he could earn so much money from just one game of chess?
If he could take advantage of the chaos to grab some, he would be making a killing!
Just as he was about to take action, a tall figure blocked his way and said in a cold voice, "If you don't have the ability, don't blame others."
It was Gu Huai. He saw that something was wrong with that man, so he deliberately stood in front of him to prevent him from causing trouble.
The man took one look at the scar on Gu Huai's face and was shocked. He didn't dare to say anything and quickly slipped away.
Xie Yunjiao looked at the man's back and snorted coldly. Want to make trouble? She should ask her husband first!
But the man's words were like a seed, planted in everyone's heart. As time passed, everyone's doubts grew louder and louder.
It seems that someone is about to sabotage us.
Xie Yunjiao looked in Wu Mingde's direction, and Wu Mingde immediately understood what Xie Yunjiao meant.
But he was a little nervous, and the copper coins in his hands were made sticky by the sweat on his palms.
"Can I try it?" Wu Mingde said.
Seeing that he was poorly dressed and looked honest, everyone was afraid that he would be cheated, so they advised him: "Brother, this chess game is a scam. You don't need to spend so much money to be cheated."
"That's not just five hundred coins, it can buy almost twenty pounds of pork. Wouldn't it be better to use it for other things than to waste it?
It's not easy for a poor scholar like you to have five hundred coins."
Wu Mingde smiled awkwardly. It was not easy at all, it was simply impossible.
He had never been able to hold five hundred coins in his hand at once; it felt so heavy.
"But I won fifty taels, so I want to give it a try," said Wu Mingde.
Xie Yunjiao winked at the craftsman Xiao Zhao, who understood her meaning: "Brother, let me be frank with you. If you can't break the deadlock, you can't cheat.
I see you are so poor, so don't waste your money. Many people have tried and failed."
"Hey, kid, how can you talk like that? Aren't you looking down on others? Brother Doudou, you have to solve this broken chess game and earn his fifty taels." Xie Yunjiao said.
Doudou found it interesting and joined in the fun: "Yeah, come on, senior brother, you can do it."
"Xiao Doudou, it's wrong for you to do this. Your senior brother is so poor, and those five hundred coins are not a small amount of money. It's not like me, where a sneeze is a piece of cake." Yang Shengshan said.
"You are the only one who knows how to criticize others. Can't you say something nice?" Xie Yunjiao glanced at Yang Shengshan.
Yang Shengshan made a face at Xie Yunjiao: "I'm doing this for his own good."
After a few people came and went, no one tried to persuade Wu Mingde anymore.
Wu Mingde threw down the money, stood in front of the chessboard and began to pretend to be lost in thought.
"Brother, let's go this way. I think it's feasible." Yang Shengshan said in a disruptive manner.
"Go away, go away. You can't even solve the problem yet you're still making trouble here." Xie Yunjiao said, as if she was really afraid that Yang Shengshan would disturb Wu Mingde's train of thought.
One wrong move and the whole game is ruined.
Everyone started to get nervous under the atmosphere created by Xie Yunjiao. Even Yang Shengshan became quiet because Wu Mingde had already taken the first step.
Xie Yunjiao was stunned for a moment. Wu Mingde's method of breaking the deadlock was not the one she taught him!
He was hiding in the corner by himself and yet he came up with another way to solve the problem. He is really amazing!
She wasn't really that good, she just had read a broken book of chess endgames before and she had a good memory, that's all.
"I admire you!" Yang Shengshan put away the nonchalant look on his face and looked at Wu Mingde with admiration.
He originally thought that Wu Mingde was just a stupid scholar who studied hard and talked about propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame all day long, but he didn't expect that he was actually quite capable.
There were exclamations from the crowd because Wu Mingde had really broken through.
Ma Jun, who was standing not far away and was reluctant to leave, watched every move of Wu Mingde with shock on his face.
He didn't expect that there was someone with such high chess skills.
"Go and find out the man's name."
"Yes, sir."
Craftsman Xiao Zhao pretended to be reluctant as he handed the fifty-liang silver note to Wu Mingde. Wu Mingde's hands were shaking when he took the note, which made everyone jealous.
"I don't think you've ever seen so much money in your life!"
"Hey, you talk like you've seen it."
"Neither have I."
The conversation between the two caused everyone to laugh, but as they laughed, they felt unhappy.
My God, a poor scholar won fifty taels, he never dreamed that.
Xu Min stared at Wu Mingde intently, wishing she could stick her eyes on him.
It’s incredible! Wu Mingde actually earned fifty taels!
She had never seen so much money in her life. If she could get close to Wu Mingde and marry her, wouldn't fifty taels be in her hands?
"I have to go back and tell my parents about this." Xu Min ran away quickly.
Wu Mingde shuddered all over, feeling as if he was being watched.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Wu Xiaomei and Wu Xiaodi came over happily. Just now, their eldest brother asked them to go out and play, but they were unwilling to do so and stayed in the corner with Wu Mingde.
Seeing my elder brother in a daze, I thought this thing would not succeed, but I didn’t expect it to actually succeed!
"Since all the money has been won, I'm going to close the stall." Xiao Zhao put the full copper coins on the wheelbarrow and pushed it away.
Xie Yunjiao exchanged glances with Gu Huai, who immediately took the opportunity to say he needed to go to the bathroom and left.
He had to escort Xiao Zhao all the way back to Qinyuanfang to prevent him from being spotted and robbed of his money by jealous people on the way.
"No matter how I calculate it, I think the stall owner made more money. Even though he gave 50 taels, there must be more than 50 taels in the basket."
"This money is really easy to earn. Apart from the fifty taels he was given, he must have earned several dozen taels in one night."
"I'm going to create a chess game like this next year," someone muttered.
Xie Yunjiao couldn't help laughing. There was still a year left. It depended on who could rack their brains to come up with a more difficult chess game.
"Go to hell! With your pig brain, how can you figure it out? Don't lose both the wife and the army."
"That's true."
Yang Shengshan looked around. People were slowly dispersing. Why hadn't he seen Gu Huai come back from the toilet?
This Gu Huai is really too much. He actually abandoned his wife and child and disappeared!
