This made Zhong Yunxiao breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that Achi is not a foolishly filial person. Moreover, he is also very smart. He can see that something is wrong between the two of them, but he did not expose them at all.
"Brother, you are awesome."
Bai Chi looked at Zhong Yunxiao with admiration.
"No one will believe that my eldest brother went there in person and actually delivered all the empty boxes that were not used at home. Now they are speechless and can't say anything about their suffering."
My heart was warmed by that burning gaze.
"you……"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was very hoarse. Facing Bai Chi's puzzled eyes, he swallowed calmly to moisten his throat.
"Achi, don't you think I'm going too far?"
Even though I saw it, I still wanted to confirm it.
Bai Chi shook his head: "No, they didn't treat me as a son anyway, they only treated me as a cash cow. If they didn't have me, their ending would not be any better than it is now."
"Um,"
Zhong Yunxiao resisted the urge to go to the carriage to comfort Bai Chi, and just nodded calmly.
"Achi, don't worry about them. Just be yourself in the future. I will help you take care of the rest and won't let their affairs affect you."
Bai Chi responded with a smile. At this time, the carriage entered the city and there were many people around, so Bai Chi didn't say much to him.
However, Zhong Yunxiao, who was outside the carriage, kept his eyes fixed on the carriage. Even passers-by could see his focused look.
This little episode did not affect Bai Chi's mood.
Especially for the Zhong family, they are just a pair of gamblers and cannot cause any big waves.
Even those casinos, knowing that Bai Chi was the second young master's wife of the Zhong family, did not dare to come to the Zhong family to look for her, let alone cause trouble.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, Zhong Yunxiao finally took Bai Chi out to see the lanterns. However, the two of them disguised themselves slightly, and the light was dim at night, so no one recognized them as being from the Zhong family.
The next morning, Bai Chi received news from Xiao Hei.
After being caught by the casino staff, his brother and sister couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide by jumping into the river last night.
After the bodies were recovered, the couple, either because they finally came to their senses or because they knew they could not pay off their casino debts, committed suicide by banging their heads against the wall.
It happened so fast and so suddenly that Bai Chi was stunned for a moment.
"Alas, it's what they deserve. The original owner was forced to commit suicide by them, and now they have suffered the same fate!"
Xiao Hei looked very relieved.
Bai Chi nodded: "In fact, after the original owner died, their fate would not be any different from what it is now."
They were already heavily in debt, relying entirely on the few taels of silver the original owner received from the Zhong family every month. The casino also wanted to take more money from the Zhong family, which gave them time.
Once the original owner died, those people would completely lose all ties with the Zhong family, and within three days, they would all be taken away by the casino staff.
Either they are sold to brothels or slaughtered alive, in any case, gamblers will be squeezed out of every last bit of their usefulness.
'The plot ends. Please choose whether to leave this world.'
"Achi, something happened!"
The system's reminder and Zhong Yunxiao's voice came at the same time.
'no.'
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Bai Chi also answered at the same time.
'The host stays and can choose to leave at a later time.'
"I just received news from the casino that your parents and two younger brothers and sisters have committed suicide."
After Zhong Yunxiao finished speaking, he looked at Bai Chi with concern.
Although we already know that Bai Chi no longer has any feelings for her mother's family, it must not be an easy thing for family members to pass away on the same day.
Bai Chi was stunned for a moment, the smile on his face faded, and he showed a bit of disbelief.
"Why, why so suddenly?"
Zhong Yunxiao stepped forward to support him: "He said he owed the casino nearly three thousand taels of silver, and all the land in his family was sold. He couldn't pay it back, so he was captured by the casino people."
Bai Chi naturally knew what would happen after being captured.
"Three thousand taels, how can it be so much!"
Bai Chi was shocked, his face full of disbelief.
Zhong Yunxiao sighed, "After they received the betrothal gifts from the Zhong family, they kept going to the casino. Nine times out of ten, they lost money. After losing all the betrothal gifts, they borrowed money from the casino."
Obviously, they relied on the Zhong family as their in-laws and borrowed money without any fear.
You completely forgot that the Zhong family is just in-laws. Why should they fill your gambling hole?
What's more, with their character, this hole can never be filled. It will only get bigger and bigger until the entire Zhong family is filled with it.
Fortunately, Bai Chi knew what was going on and did not ask Zhong Yunxiao to support the gambling couple.
Bai Chi was silent, as if he was really scared.
Zhong Yunxiao hugged the man in his arms and patted his back to comfort him.
Bai Chi quickly adjusted his mood, and then with a heavy heart, with the help of Zhong Yunxiao, he handled the funeral affairs of the family of four.
But in this case, it would be difficult to put the matter of remarriage on the agenda so soon.
He didn't know what Zhong Yunxiao was thinking, but Bai Chi had privately scolded those who were holding him back.
He knew what happened to the original owner, and felt no guilt in scolding these people.
Why did he have to die at this time instead of earlier? He was simply trying to ruin his plans!
Not long after this matter was dealt with, people from Fuzhou kept urging Zhong Yunxiao to come over, saying that the Royal Merchants had a medicinal materials business and wanted to discuss it with the Zhong family.
This time, the other party took the initiative to discuss cooperation. If Zhong Yunxiao refused, there would be no second chance.
Faced with this rare opportunity, Bai Chi directly let him go. Anyway, the two of them were not suitable for marriage now, so it would be better for them to separate, so as to avoid seeing each other every day without being able to eat, which would be even more uncomfortable.
