…
Another hour passed, and the gambling in the bedroom at 1105 was still going on.
Liu Jie stood up and added a few pieces of coal into the stove. The flames suddenly rose up, making crackling sounds, as if it was a carnival.
On the square gambling table, Xia Ziqi wrote a new IOU with trembling hands.
Then Xia Ziqi threw the IOU in front of Zhang Sheng fiercely. His eyes were bloodshot and he shouted in a slightly hoarse voice: "Here's the IOU! Another round!"
Zhang Sheng held Xia Ziqi's newly signed IOU in his hand. He looked at the handwriting on it, snorted coldly, and said, "Another round? What are you going to do? You've given us two thousand kilograms of rice and five thousand kilograms of coal. What are you going to pay us back with?"
Xia Ziqi scratched his messy hair in annoyance. He stared at Zhang Sheng with red eyes and said, "Let's play another round. Double the stakes this time! I will definitely make it back!"
Zhang Sheng sneered when he heard this. He folded up the IOU and said to Zhang Sheng, "You should pay back the two thousand kilograms of rice and five thousand kilograms of coal first!"
Seeing that Zhang Sheng was unwilling to gamble again, Xia Ziqi became anxious and said without thinking: "You don't dare to gamble with me? Can't you afford it?!"
Zhang Sheng's face darkened when he heard this.
This kid is really a jerk!
Without saying a word, he stood up from the chair, strode to Xia Ziqi, raised his foot, and kicked Xia Ziqi hard, kicking Xia Ziqi off the chair!
Xia Ziqi fell to the ground defenselessly, letting out a scream of "Ah".
Zhang Sheng leaned over and slapped Xia Ziqi's face twice. He said to Xia Ziqi with a gloomy face: "Grandson, you dare to say that I can't afford the gamble? Are you looking for death?"
Xia Ziqi's rationality was knocked out by Zhang Sheng's two slaps, and his brain, which had been obsessed with the gambling game, gradually came to its senses.
After his rationality was overwhelmed, Xia Ziqi felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head in the snow and ice. Even his heart was chilled - he only then realized that he had actually stored 2,000 kilograms of rice and 5,000 kilograms of coal!
He was suddenly completely stunned!
——How could this happen! What did he do!
Even if I sell him, I can't afford the compensation!
At this time Liu Jie also came over. When he saw Xia Ziqi's dazed look, he frowned slightly.
Liu Jie stretched out one hand to grab Xia Ziqi's collar, and patted his face with the other hand, mocking him: "Little beast, stop playing dead. Have you thought about it? How are you going to return all these things of ours?"
Xia Ziqi was filled with despair. He shook his head subconsciously and murmured, "I... I don't have so many things..."
He really couldn't afford to pay for these things.
When Liu Jie heard this, a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
He grabbed Xia Ziqi's collar and said in a deep voice: "You dare to say no? Do you want to die?!"
Feeling the murderous intent in Liu Jie's eyes, Xia Ziqi quickly begged for mercy: "Yes! Yes! Don't kill me! I, my relative has it!"
Xia Ziqi was in a panic. He repeatedly assured Liu Jie, "My grandma has a lot of supplies! I'm her grandson! She will definitely give me the supplies! I'll go get them right away!"
Hearing Xia Ziqi's words, Liu Jie loosened his collar, frowned and said, "You have two days to bring all the supplies here, otherwise... you don't know what will happen next!"
Looking at Liu Jie's gloomy face, Xia Ziqi felt cold all over and wanted to cry but had no tears!
