Because of Zhao Ningsong's greed, he was once back to the time before liberation. Only he himself can understand the feeling.
After all, he has been in the casino for such a long time, so he is naturally familiar with the rules of the casino. If he doesn't hand over the money today, there will probably be no peace.
No matter what Zhao Ningsong's expression was, the servant, who had gained power because his master won the bet, raised his head and forcibly took all the silver from Zhao Ningsong's arms and put it into his own cloth bag, not even letting go of the small piece of silver that Zhao Ningsong secretly held in his hand.
Seeing Zhao Ningsong's enthusiasm for gambling, the people around him thought he was some tough guy! But they didn't expect him to be so unwilling to lose. For a moment, the surroundings were filled with voices belittling him and compliments to the man.
"Tsk tsk tsk, he didn't even frown when he won money from others, but now he looks so gloomy after losing such a big loss."
"That's right. When that gentleman lost all his money just now, he didn't do anything! In the end, he even had the audacity to use the money he had originally intended to use to buy goods to make up for his losses."
"That's right, it seems that God still favors the brave!"
…
"God favors the brave." Zhao Ningsong silently repeated this sentence in his heart.
Then, his eyes lit up, as if something had dawned on him.
Seeing the man take the silver and try to leave, he immediately stopped him and said, "It's not good for you to leave just because you won the silver!"
The man stopped and looked at him provocatively, "What? Brother, do you want to continue gambling? Do you still have the money?"
Zhao Ningsong suddenly felt ashamed and embarrassed, but for the sake of money, face was nothing.
"I don't have much money on me today. Wait a minute, I'll go borrow some money from the gambling house and we can continue gambling."
The man was easy to talk to. "Sure! I'll wait for you here. As long as you can borrow the money, I'll accompany you to the end."
Upon hearing this, the servant beside him hurriedly advised him to stop, but unfortunately the man had a huge sum of money at the moment and was full of confidence, and was just about to go all out to win more.
Zhao Ningsong was afraid that the man would go back on his word, so after telling him to wait for him, he hurried off to find the people from the gambling house.
Anyone who runs a gambling house and gambles big will come to the gambling house to borrow money, and the people in the gambling house have long been accustomed to this.
After Zhao Ningsong registered his information, he casually glanced at the loan document, signed his name, pressed his fingerprint, and then quickly returned to find the man with the silver.
The interest rate on the money loaned by the gambling house was very high. Zhao Ningsong thought it was simple. As long as he made a profit and paid the money back, nothing would happen.
It’s a pity that dreams are full of hope, but reality is so cruel.
It seemed as if his luck had run out in the past few days. Ever since he borrowed money from the gambling house, his luck has been very bad. It can be said that he loses everything he gambles on.
Seeing that the borrowed 100 taels were already used up, he gritted his teeth and borrowed another 100 taels, as if he would not give up until he made up for his losses.
Unfortunately, the god of luck no longer favored him, and he soon lost all the hundred taels.
He seemed to be possessed by a demon, falling deeper and deeper into depravity. Whenever he lost, he would borrow from the gambling house again. He did this five times in a row, and lost everything in less than two hours. It was not until the gambling house was unwilling to lend him any more money and warned him to pay back the 500 taels he had borrowed today, including principal and interest, within three days that he finally woke up from his dream.
His first reaction after coming to his senses was that he was finished. Not only was he penniless, he also owed a huge debt of five hundred taels.
Thinking of the scene where he had seen the people in the gambling house teach those who owed money and couldn't pay it back a lesson, he shuddered all over.
He casually said a few words, promised to pay back the money, and hurriedly walked out of the gambling house with his legs starting to become weak and trembling.
After walking a long way in one breath, he squatted on the ground limply as if he had survived a disaster.
He was filled with regret at this moment. Why had he been so impulsive before? Why couldn't he just calm down for a while?
Now, let alone five hundred taels, he doesn’t even have five taels! What should he do? What should he do?
He almost broke down and cried. That night, it was almost curfew when he finally dragged his heavy body back.
After returning home, no matter how Old Lady Cao called him to have dinner, he ignored her and went straight back to his room and locked himself in it.
The next day, before Old Lady Cao and the others woke up, he got up and waited outside Old Lady Cao's door.
Poor old lady Cao hadn't recovered from her illness yet, and she was almost frightened to death by her own son.
"What are you doing standing here silently, kid? You almost scared your mother to death." Old Mrs. Cao said in fear, holding her chest and gasping for air.
However, this time, Zhao Ningsong not only did not comfort her first, but instead asked her to give him the silver he had given her before.
Seeing Zhao Ningsong asking for money right away, Old Lady Cao's still groggy head suddenly cleared up a lot. She asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What do you want the money for?"
Zhao Ningsong did not mention that he owed the gambling house 500 taels of silver. He just said that he had an urgent need for the money and asked Mrs. Cao to give it to him quickly.
Although the silver was already in her pocket, Old Lady Cao was extremely reluctant to take it out. But he was her son after all. Seeing that he was really anxious, Old Lady Cao had no choice but to go into the house and take out the silver no matter how reluctant she was.
As soon as Zhao Ningsong got the silver, he turned around and left without saying a word.
That's right, he thought about it all night and decided to get up from where he fell. Yesterday was just bad luck.
I think he also relied on a few coins to turn his life around. If he could do it then, he can certainly do it today.
Even if he sold his entire family, he still couldn't pay back the five hundred taels of silver. But as long as he could make a comeback, let alone the mere five hundred taels of silver, even returning to his yesterday's glory would be a piece of cake.
Didn't the gambling house give him three days? Now he plans to use this one or two taels of silver to pay back the five hundred taels he owes in three days.
Zhao Ningsong's calculations were quite good, but unfortunately his luck was not very good after all, and his silver was soon gone.
The money was gone and the gambling house would not lend him any more, so he could only go back in disgrace. Before leaving, the gambling house's thugs reminded him to be prepared to pay back the money.
Zhao Ningsong said a few perfunctory words, went back hungry, found some cold soup and cold rice from the kitchen and ate them, then locked himself in the room again.
The next day, he blocked Zhao Shenghao's door again and asked him to return the silver he had given him earlier.
However, the time interval was quite long, and Zhao Shenghao finally only gave him two hundred coins.
It is a little less, but for Zhao Ningsong who is eager to make a comeback, two hundred coins is also a huge sum of money.
He said perfunctorily, "I'll give you more money when Dad makes money in a few days." Then he walked towards the gambling house again.
