Half an hour later.
They played a dozen or so rounds, but Ye Beiping never picked up a card; all his hands were either small bulls or no bulls at all.
This made everyone extremely happy.
Ye Beiping was also furious: "If someone else runs this estate, I'm not doing it anymore."
It's not about the money; I only lost a little over two hundred yuan in total. But I can't continue playing this game anymore. If I keep playing, I'm afraid I'll become depressed.
A card game is only interesting when there's a back-and-forth exchange; it's definitely not fun if you always lose.
Just as Ye Beiping was about to suggest changing the dealer, Hou Baolin, the seasoned veteran, seized the opportunity, pulled out a wad of uncountable ten-yuan bills from his pocket, and roared:
"The banker has money, so bet on him relentlessly."
After shouting, Ye Beiping speechlessly tossed a large sum of money onto the table.
The others were playing with one or two yuan at a time, but when they suddenly saw a ten-yuan note on the table, they glanced down at their own money and decisively chose to throw in the ten-yuan note as well.
Hou Baolin was dumbfounded: "No...you didn't do it like this just now, how come in Beiping..."
"Stop arguing and hurry up. You're the dealer, so who cares how much others bet? You'll keep paying until everyone on the table has lost all their money, and you won't have to pay anything out of your pocket," Ye Beiping said casually.
He still didn't believe it; he figured he should at least play a big hand.
Hou Baolin could only reluctantly begin dealing the cards.
While everyone was still looking at their cards, suddenly there was a loud 'bang' as Hou Baolin slammed the cards onto the table and burst into laughter, shouting, "Bull Bull! Bull Bull triple! Triple for everyone! Hahaha!"
Now that's great, everyone's stopped looking at their cards.
Because the card Hou Baolin revealed was the King of Spades, and there was no card higher than that.
Ye Beiping immediately shut up and could only obediently pay up two more large bills. He was a little puzzled as to why his luck in gambling was so bad after being reborn.
It wasn't like this before.
Su Xinyi, who had walked over out of curiosity, patted Ye Beiping's arm and revealed a sly smile.
"I'll play a couple of rounds."
"Alright then." Ye Beiping readily stepped aside, giving his seat to Su Xinyi.
When the others saw Su Xinyi take the stage, they curled their lips. Sure enough, the old saying was true: "When husband and wife fight together, they will grow old together."
Hou Baolin, who had been smiling and reaching for the table in his arms, was dumbfounded. But as a member of the Zhuang family, he couldn't say anything if someone else took his place.
Early that morning, the noisy sounds from Ye Beiping's house attracted the curiosity of the surrounding neighbors.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that everyone was shouting around an eight-immortal table in the main room.
Some men went up to take a look out of curiosity, discovered the novel way to play, and immediately joined the battle.
Some people even asked, "Baolin, can I bet 50 cents?"
Hou Baolin, of course, welcomed all comers: "Come on, there's no upper limit, no lower limit, as long as you have money."
With that shout, everyone who wanted to watch the show came from the surrounding area.
Seeing the novel way to play, they asked about the rules and quickly understood.
People who play cards often will naturally understand it immediately.
Seeing so many large denominations of RMB on the table, everyone would be envious.
The experienced bettor could see that he had already won all the money on the table into his pocket.
More and more people arrived, some even bringing cigarettes with them. Ye Beiping frowned and pulled Su Xinyi aside.
Su Xinyi hadn't had enough fun yet, and pouted, "What are you doing? They're all still playing, why are you dragging me away?"
"Ahem." Ye Beiping couldn't resist Su Xinyi's cute expression and kissed her on the lips, whispering, "Didn't you see they were smoking? It's not good for the baby."
After being kissed by Ye Beiping, Su Xinyi, who was initially embarrassed, immediately went to her room when she heard that it wasn't good for the baby.
Ye Beiping then took a brazier to the room.
With so many people in the living room, they'll have plenty to do, so why worry about it being cold?
My wife is important!
Ye Beiping never went to the living room again; he just stayed in the room, holding Su Xinyi's hand and offering her warmth.
Feeling the warmth, Su Xinyi suddenly asked, "Jiang Hai and the others came today, so are we still going to Hangzhou tomorrow?"
This was her first thought upon seeing the Jiang Hai brothers.
"Go, why not go?" Ye Beiping agreed without hesitation, and even reassured him, "Don't worry, I can tell what's important. They can see each other every day from now on, and paying New Year's respects to my father-in-law is definitely the most important thing."
"Okay." Su Xinyi was happy.
It's not that Ye Beiping absolutely has to go and wish his parents a Happy New Year, since it's so far away.
It's just a matter of attitude.
Sometimes, what girls want isn't expensive things, but simply an attitude.
Various noisy sounds came from outside the room.
“Niu Niu, I’m Niu Niu hahaha.”
"What's your rush? I haven't even looked at the cards. Fatty, come over here and keep an eye on the money for me. Don't let it get stolen later. I'm going to dominate today."
Soon after, Hou Baolin's voice came through.
Immediately afterwards... a loud 'bang' was heard, and the sound of Hou Baolin slamming the table could be heard.
"I'm awesome too, three times the bet for everyone, three times the bet, hahaha, I'll make sure you lose everything, not even your underwear."
All that remained were sighs.
There were also sounds of blame.
"I was only supposed to lose 1.5 yuan for the 50 cents, but now you've made me lose 3 yuan instead of 1 yuan."
"Who knew Baolin was so good? He won a bull in the last game, and he won a bull in this game too."
...
Hearing the noise outside, Ye Beiping shook his head and chuckled helplessly.
