After listening to the explanation of No. 1105, Sun Yuegui finally got the answer to her doubts. She murmured, "So that's how it is..."
At this time, Xia Guozhang also said, "Sister-in-law, you have heard it all, right? The things we brought back were all earned by Ziqi and I. I really didn't gamble! I know gambling is harmful, and I will never touch it again, even if you kill me!"
Xia Guozhang looked sincere, and Sun Yuegui could not see any sign of lying on his face, so her doubts were gradually dispelled.
After resolving the doubts in her heart, Sun Yuegui realized that her behavior was a bit abrupt. If she hadn't insisted on verifying it, there would be no need for Hu Yu from 1105 to reveal his scar and show his severed hand to strangers like them.
Thinking of this, Sun Yuegui felt a little embarrassed. She apologized to the account number 1105: "So that's how it is. I see... I'm so sorry for disturbing you!"
Hearing this, Hu Yu from 1105 waved his hands indifferently and said magnanimously, "It's okay, as long as you can explain it clearly! Old Xia has helped us so much, and I don't want to see him being misunderstood by his family."
The man thought for a moment, then said to Sun Yuegui: "Sister, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but these days, supplies are as important as life! No one will gamble with supplies, so don't worry about it!"

After seeing off Xia Guozhang and the other two, the doorman at room 1105 silently retracted his broken right arm into his sleeve and closed the door with his left hand.
At this moment, a man in his forties walked out of the bedroom, holding a dice cup in his hand. He asked the person in Room 1105, "Lao Zhang, who came just now? Why did you talk to them for so long? Could it be that someone from the emergency office came to check on us?"
Zhang Sheng sneered when he heard this and replied, "No, it was that old Xia from 1101. He was almost caught by his family and came to me to collude with them."
The man holding the dice cup understood what he said. He sneered and said with some disdain: "This old Xia, he has to be sneaky when he comes out to gamble. He is really not like a man!"
He paused, frowned and said, "But then again... we have laid a lot of bait on Old Xia during this period. We asked him to bring back so much coal and cotton clothes, and we don't know how much we can get back."
Zhang Sheng touched the broken hand of the gambler and replied in a deep voice: "Why are you in such a hurry? If you want to catch a big fish, you must give enough bait. After all, the more you win, the deeper you will be trapped. Only when he has tasted the sweetness of winning the bet, will he be wholeheartedly involved!"
"This old Xia can produce rare goods such as ham and chocolate before. He is probably a rare fat sheep! We have let him win so many times, and the reward will definitely be great in the future..."

On the way home, Sun Yuegui climbed the stairs while sighing to Xia Shige: "I was scared to death when I saw those supplies just now. I thought your third uncle won them by gambling... Fortunately, he didn't gamble again, otherwise I don't know how to explain to your grandma..."
Xia Shige listened at the side, remaining silent. Her expression had been solemn from the beginning, and no one knew what she was thinking.
As soon as the two returned to 1606, the grandmother came forward. She took Sun Yuegui's hand and asked with a worried look on her face: "What's going on? Is the third brother... is the third brother gambling again?"
Sun Yuegui smiled when she heard that. She patted her grandmother's hand and comforted her, "Mom, the third child didn't gamble. I've seen it all. Besides, there's a snowstorm and a power outage now. The third child can't go to the casino or the gambling website. Even if he wants to gamble, he can't. Don't worry!"
Hearing this, grandma seemed relieved and sat back on the sofa quietly.
