"I don't know! Third brother, you stay and have dinner with Shengbao. I'll go out with your second brother and take a look!" Rong Hua said coldly.
Rong Mu nodded: "Don't worry, I'll protect Sheng Bao!" He won't let that old man take Sheng Bao away!
Rong Sheng blinked, taking in the expressions of her three older brothers one by one. Watching her eldest and second brothers leave the house, she silently turned her head and looked through the window towards the front door. "That old gambler?"
No wonder the three older brothers reacted so strongly; it turns out the old gambler has arrived!
Wait a minute, why does the person on the old gambler's back look so familiar?
Gu Sanniu? Her future husband?!
Rong Sheng quickly put down her chopsticks and got off the kang (heated brick bed).
Rong Mu quickly stopped Rong Sheng, "Sheng Bao, don't worry about that old gambler or the jinx on his back. Just stay home and eat! With your brothers here, that old gambler won't dare to do anything to you. As for that jinx... we'll send him home since he's been poisoned. Can you sit down and eat your meal quietly?"
But Rong Sheng wouldn't listen to Rong Mu. She didn't care about the old gambler; the important thing was her future husband. Her future husband had been carried here by the old gambler and hadn't reacted at all, so something must have happened. She had to go and check on him. So, ignoring Rong Mu's advice, Rong Sheng rushed out the door.
As soon as they stepped outside, they heard Rong Zheng angrily yelling at the old gambler: "You old gambler, what are you doing in our house, bringing this jinx with you? Get out! Get out of my house right now, or I'll beat you to death!"
The old gambler seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, losing his usual arrogance and speaking in a humble voice: "Rong Zheng, I'm not here to cause you trouble. I want you to save Gu Sanniu! Gu Sanniu was beaten by his mother until he vomited blood, black blood! I was worried that Gu Sanniu would be beaten to death, so I brought him here to have Doctor Rong Dong'an take a look."
Gu Sanniu was beaten by the Du family?
Rong Zheng was very curious: "Why would the Du family hit Gu Sanniu for no reason?"
Rong Sheng's heart tightened, and he stared intently at the old gambler, waiting for his answer.
The old gambler raised his head in fear and glanced at the Rong brothers, but when he saw Rong Sheng, he immediately lowered his head, as if Rong Sheng were a murderous demon.
"You old gambler, I'm asking you a question! Speak up!" Rong Zheng shouted.
The old gambler was so startled that he almost dropped Gu Beiyi from his back.
He quickly said, "This morning, just as dawn broke, Madam Du got up and fell hard. She found the entire east wing floor covered in chicken blood, piles of oil stains, chicken feathers, and chicken offal!"
Upon seeing this, Du quickly called Gu Changqing to check on the chickens in the coop. As soon as he stepped outside, he saw the entire yard filled with chicken feathers, not even missing a corner. Gu Changqing rushed over and discovered that three roosters, two hens, and thirty eggs were missing!
So, Madam Du suspected Gu San Niu was responsible and came to cause him trouble early in the morning! Gu San Niu wasn't home, so they tore down his thatched hut and stole all his belongings! When Gu San Niu returned, he wanted to confront Madam Du, but without a word, she ordered Gu Daniu and his brothers to beat him severely. The beating caused Gu San Niu to vomit black blood and lose consciousness!
If it weren't for Rong Sheng being busy rescuing people, and the village head and clansmen being worried that something might have happened to Rong Yu, so they were constantly watching over the Rong family, they would have come to the village head and clan chief to speak up for Gu San Niu long ago.
“I, the old gambler, used to be a scoundrel who often beat and scolded the little girl, but I am not a heartless person. When I saw that Gu Sanniu was beaten so badly by Du Shi and her two sons, I carried Gu Sanniu to your house and asked Rong Dong'an or the little girl to help take a look at him!”
Upon hearing this, Rong Sheng immediately understood what her future husband had done last night.
But the Gu family lost five chickens? Thirty eggs? That's unlikely, isn't it? My future husband said he only stole three roosters!
"No matter what, neither you, you old gambler, nor Gu Sanniu, you jinx, are allowed to set foot in our Rong family!" Fourth Brother had just undergone surgery. Even if they had no taboos, for his sake, they had to be careful and not allow Gu Sanniu, that jinx, to step into the house!
What if Gu Sanniu really is evil? Wouldn't Fourth Brother be...?
The old gambler knew that Gu Sanniu was a jinx, and he didn't want to touch him. But the men in black said that if he didn't help Gu Sanniu, he would surely die!
The people at the gambling den would beat him up badly, then release him and make him figure out how to pay back the money.
But they won't give him that chance!
He'd rather die a more peaceful death than be killed by someone who brings misfortune upon him.
Rong Sheng stared at the old gambler for a moment, carefully considering what her future husband had said earlier. She walked up to the old gambler and said coldly, "Put down Gu Sanniu, and you can get out!"
"Shengbao!" Rong Zheng rushed to Rong Sheng's side, looking at her with displeasure. "Shengbao, this Gu Sanniu is a jinx. How could you leave him here? What if he... brings bad luck to Fourth Brother?"
Rong Sheng smiled faintly: "Second brother, I have never believed in ghosts and gods. What do you mean by 'cursing' or 'cursing'? If Gu San Niu's fate could really kill people, I'm afraid the entire Zhonggui Village and the soldiers in his army camp would have been cursed to death long ago!"
But aren't we all alive and well? We haven't heard of any Qingluan Kingdom troops dying, have we? Since nothing has happened, it must be hearsay. We can't risk a life for these so-called jinxes!
"But……"
