As for whether it makes sense or not, he's lived to this age, and in his eyes, reason is no match for loyalty. He will undoubtedly side with his family, not with what is right.
The Zhao family arrived, bringing quite a few people with them.
Liu Xiaohua nodded to Zhou Chunmei with a serious expression.
Zhou Chunmei stepped forward and opened the door.
She gave the Zhao family a cold look and said, "What are you doing here? You're not welcome here!"
"Hey seniors, what brings you here? Didn't we agree last night? I said I wouldn't gamble anymore."
Su Chengguo looked at Zhao Jixue with a surprised expression.
Zhao Jixue felt a headache coming on. He had been completely drunk last night and naturally couldn't remember what he had said.
Looking at Su Chengguo's appearance, he began to doubt whether he had really said something last night.
"Brother, gambling may make you money quickly, but luck doesn't last forever. I've thought about it for a long time, and I still feel that I'm not suited for that path. I'd rather just stay home and fish with my dad and older brother. I also advise you to quit gambling and give it up..."
Su Chengguo said loudly, looking as if she had put a lot of thought into it.
The onlookers immediately understood that Zhao Jixue was making money through gambling.
"Su Chengguo, stop pretending! You stole over 20,000 yuan from our family. Hand it over right now!"
Zhao Jifa glared at Su Chengguo and roared.
Zhao Jixue's mouth was stuck shut as if glued shut, and he couldn't utter a single fart for a long time. Listening to Su Chengguo's nonsense, his face turned red and then pale. Zhao Jifa couldn't stand it anymore.
He didn't care whether Su Chengguo would become a fisherman or a gambler in the future; he just wanted money.
Zhao Jixue glared at Su Chengguo and said through gritted teeth, "Chengguo, whether you gamble or not is your business, but now give me back my treasure!"
Looking at Su Chengguo's innocent appearance, Zhao Jixue really couldn't tell what was going on. He felt a chill in his heart and thought Su Chengguo was too terrifying.
Still pretending at this point.
Su Chengguo scratched his head and grinned foolishly: "Senior, Brother Zhao, I don't understand what you're talking about. What money? I didn't take any of your money. In fact, I even shared half of what I won with you before."
"Senior, I'm very grateful to you for helping me make money. I was lucky too, and I won over 40,000 in one go. I, Su Chengguo, am a grateful person. I gave you half of it yesterday. You can't slander me like this just because I stopped gambling with you! And you even said I stole your treasure, that's even more unfair!"
After Su Chengguo finished speaking, she looked helpless and disappointed as she looked at Zhao Jixue.
He could never admit to stealing money.
Zhao Jixue insists he did it, but how can you prove it?
"Su Chengguo, if you dare not pay back the money today, I'll crack your skull open!"
Zhao Jifa roared angrily, clenching his fists as if he were about to make a move.
Zhao Jixue looked coldly at Su Chengguo.
Su Dahai shouted angrily, "Enough! Don't you know what happens to gamblers? You've been bewitching my son these past few days, causing chaos in our family. He finally sobered up and now you want to cause trouble again! Do you think I'm a pushover? If you want to fight, we're ready!"
Su Chenggong stood silently in front, gesturing with the carrying pole in his hand, his arms flexing, his strong muscles bulging – a silent warning.
Zhao Jifa was intimidated by Su Chenggong's imposing manner and couldn't help but take a step back.
Su Chengguo looked helplessly at Zhao Jixue and explained again in a gentle tone: "Brother Xue, I really won't gamble anymore. I dreamt last night that I kept losing and that I had nothing left. I advise you not to gamble either. The money I won from gambling is too hot to handle. I plan to donate it to the village for the repair of the Mazu Temple and the rescue of orphans."
Su Chengguo's words undoubtedly caused a great stir.
Someone immediately asked excitedly, "Is the result really over 20,000 yuan? Are you really willing to donate it?"
Su Chengguo nodded solemnly: "Yes, it's exactly 23,500. I plan to donate it all, as a way to do good deeds and accumulate merit. I can't sleep well if I keep this money. You can tell by my dark circles. I really can't sleep!"
Su Chengguo spoke without batting an eye, and people gave him a thumbs up, praising his courage.
Zhou Chunmei felt her cheeks burning slightly, but thankfully everyone's attention wasn't on her.
"Su Chengguo, who else could it be but you? Who else could it be but you???"
Zhao Jixue was going crazy, yet he felt utterly powerless, unable to explain himself even with a thousand mouths.
He was going crazy, but Su Chengguo remained very calm.
"Senior, I really didn't know. I've always been a good kid. I would never do anything like stealing. Besides, you've been helping me make money, how could I possibly steal from you..."
Su Chengguo is completely innocent. He is an upright person, and has been so since childhood, which is evident to everyone in the village.
"Zhao Jixue, could it be that you lost it? The results are so genuine, it definitely wasn't him!"
"That's right, we know exactly what kind of person Su Chengguo is. Zhao Jixue hasn't been back for years, and when he came back, he started inciting people to gamble. We don't know what he's up to. Su Chengguo is nowhere near as cunning as him..."
When Su Chengguo announced his intention to donate the money, people's hearts turned to him.
The renovation of the Mazu Temple was naturally funded by the entire village. Su Chengguo contributed more, while the others contributed less, which meant that Su Chengguo helped them pay a large sum of money.
Zhao Jixue hasn't expressed his opinion yet, and with his stingy, resentful, and scheming appearance, it goes without saying who he's leaning towards.
"Oh my god, the thief won't admit it... I'm going to hang myself right here at your doorstep!"
The more Zhao's mother listened, the more uneasy she felt, and she started slapping her thigh.
Zhao's father stammered, his face flushed, and roared, "Give me back the money! Give me back my son's precious treasure!"
Zhao Jifa, with his neck stiff, said to Zhao Jixue, "Axue, what's the point of arguing with him? Su Chengguo is obviously framing you. If he won't admit it, just beat him until he does!"
Faced with a large sum of money, Zhao Jifa disregarded everything else.
After saying that, he made his move, intending to catch Su Chenggong off guard. However, Su Chenggong reacted quickly and grabbed his outstretched fist.
Zhao Jixue's face also turned sinister, and he attacked Su Chengguo.
Su Chengguo looked hurt and pretended to dodge: "Senior, how could you hit me? Didn't you say you treated me like your own brother?"
"If you don't treat me like a younger brother, then I won't acknowledge you as my older brother either!"
Now that the show was over, Su Chengguo naturally wouldn't hold back.
He's been eating all these years, and it wasn't for nothing.
Gao Feng looked down on him, thinking he was foolish and prone to violence. He had been holding back his anger for a long time, and now he was taking it out on Zhao Jixue.
Everyone thought he was the easiest to fool, but he was surprisingly good at it. These people had poor eyesight, so he took pity on them and treated their eyes!
"I'll fight you to the death..."
Seeing her son being beaten, Zhao's mother immediately got up to help, but Zhou Chunmei grabbed her. Liu Xiaohua stepped in and pressed her down, giving Zhao's mother a cold glare: "You're bullying my son? Do you think I'm dead?"
