He Yan returned home with the money.

Qingmei didn't notice, He Yan fumbled to turn the small box containing rouge and powder on the table over, emptied it out, and threw all the silver and jewelry he won tonight into it, then went to bed in the dark.

Perhaps she was in a good mood because she won the money and solved her worries. She slept very soundly that night. In her dream, she was playing gambling with her brothers in the tent. The soldiers shouted at the top of their lungs: "Open! Open!" He Yan looked embarrassed, and someone laughed: "General, why did you lose again?"

"Did the general win once this evening?" The deputy general shook his head in a pretentious manner, "Alas, the general is not good at this."

"You idiot, what's wrong with you? Haven't you heard that failure in love can lead to success in gambling? The general failed in gambling, but was invincible in the human relationship field. You old bachelor, you don't know shit!"

He Yan laughed loudly upon hearing this.

As she was laughing, she felt someone pushing her. She opened her eyes and saw Qingmei's face: "What good dream did you have? Why are you laughing so happily?"

The sun was already shining through the windowsill, brightening the room. She stretched out her hand to block the glare, feeling a little surprised that she had gotten up so late.

It is indeed a good time to sleep in spring.

I thought of the dream I had last night and couldn't help sighing. The men back then said that she was successful in love because she was bad at gambling, but that was completely wrong. But in a way, it was true. Now she was able to win big in Le Tong Manor. She was successful in gambling, but naturally she was unsuccessful in love, which was why she was so defeated.

He Yunsheng's unhappy voice came from outside the door: "He Yan, it's already noon, are you going today?"

It didn't seem to take long for He Yunsheng to go from being strongly opposed in the beginning to being accustomed to chopping wood with him now. He Yunsheng couldn't understand how he and He Yan ended up in the current situation.

"Wait for me." He Yan quickly changed into clean clothes.

Qingmei went out with the basin of clean water, and He Yunsheng walked in, saying as he walked, "Why are you dawdling today... He Yan?!"

"What's going on?" He Yan was tying a sandbag. When she looked up, she saw He Yunsheng's angry expression. She asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

He Yunsheng pointed at the chair and said, "What's wrong? Look at what's wrong?!"

The boy's tone was extremely angry. If there was a fire on his head right now, it would have set the whole house on fire. He Yan looked in the direction of his finger. On the chair was the chestnut long coat that He Yan "borrowed" from He Yunsheng last night. After she returned to the house, she casually took it off and threw it on the chair. She hadn't remembered it since she woke up in the morning.

Without waiting for He Yan to react, He Yunsheng stepped forward and shook the long gown open. The gown was originally crumpled into a ball by He Yan, and was stained all over. Now that it was shaken, the tear was revealed in bits and pieces, as if someone had cut a hole in the middle of the gown, which was very tragic.

"Is this the clothes you mended for me?" He Yunsheng was furious. He felt sorry for being moved last night and thinking that this sister really loved him, her brother. But now it seems...she was really sent by God to punish him!

"This is a misunderstanding, I can explain it." He Yan tried to calm the child down.

"Explain, how to explain? Do you know..." He Yunsheng was originally very angry and accusing, but when he said this, his voice suddenly choked and his eyes became red. He said, "This is my only long dress... You cut it into pieces, what should I do?"

He Yan's head is as big as a bucket.

She was really, really, really afraid of seeing people cry, especially when a boy who looked as imposing as a calf suddenly shed tears of grievance.

He Yunsheng also felt very aggrieved.

Young people all love to save face. Even if they are poor, as long as they are filial, polite, and upright, they are good sons. Although they say so, everyone has vanity. This chestnut long coat was given to him by a senior brother. He has been wearing it for many years, sewing and patching it up, because his own clothes are all short-sleeved trousers that are convenient for work. This long coat makes him look like a "young master" anyway.

Although He Yan's clothes were not as good as those of the ladies from wealthy families, she would buy one or two pieces of fashionable styles every year. He Sui doted on her, and He Yunsheng couldn't say anything. Girls love beauty, so how could boys pay attention to these material things?

But at this moment, He Yunsheng suddenly felt aggrieved.

He Yan stammered, "This dress is broken. Let's buy another one. Let's find the most famous tailor in Beijing to make you a brand new one with embroidered patterns? The material must be good too. Don't cry. I didn't mean it... Okay? Yun, Yunsheng?"

He Yan had never coaxed him so kindly before. For some reason, He Yunsheng's anger suddenly dissipated, but he still had some resentment. He said, "We don't have any money!"

"Who said that?" He Yan opened the makeup box and showed it to him, "We have plenty of money."

He Yunsheng was just taking a casual glance at first, but when he looked closely, he was stunned and asked, "Where did you get the money?"

"Um?"

The next moment, He Yunsheng suddenly rushed forward and exclaimed: "Your face..."

Face? He Yan was shocked, thinking, could her face change? No, she washed her face twice in the water tank at the door before going home last night, so all the makeup should have been washed off, right?

As soon as she rushed to the mirror, she heard He Yunsheng's angry voice beside her, "Who hit you?"

But the girl in the mirror had elegant features and a pair of bright eyes, which had not changed. However... He Yan's gaze moved downwards, and he saw a shallow bruise on the girl's lips, which was particularly conspicuous on her fair skin.

Just now Qingmei asked her to get up, but she covered her face with her hands to block the sun, so Qingmei didn't see it. But now He Yunsheng saw it.

Miss He's skin is delicate and can't stand any abuse. She seemed to have been punched by someone last night, but it didn't hurt or itch, so she didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, she would have a mark on her face today.

He Yunsheng was still asking: "What's going on with you? This money... this dress..." He suddenly became horrified, his eyes filled with sorrow: "You..."

Seeing that the boy was getting more and more outrageous, He Yan tapped his head gently, "What are you thinking about? Last night I wore your clothes and went to the casino. I gambled two rounds and won some money. Someone was causing trouble for me, so I gave them a lesson. I just accidentally got hurt. It's okay. It will heal tomorrow."

She said it lightly, but she had no idea how these words shocked the young man in front of her.

"You...I..."

He Yan went to the casino? He Yan went to the casino and won money? After He Yan won money, he was troubled by someone and gave the other person a lesson?

No matter which one, He Yunsheng couldn't accept it. He even suspected that his sister had been switched. How could she do such unbelievable things?

"Yes," He Yan explained calmly, "Because we are so poor, I wanted to try my luck in the casino. Who knew that I was so lucky? It must be God's blessing. I was afraid of those troublemakers, but I went to the mountains with you to chop wood recently, and I became much stronger. Fortunately, I beat them." Seeing that He Yunsheng was still stunned, He Yan continued, "If you don't believe it, go to Le Tong Manor and ask if there was a young man in a maroon robe who won a lot of money last night. I didn't lie to you."

He Yunsheng's mind was a mess, but when he saw He Yan's confident look, it seemed like what he said was true.

"cocoa……"

"Oh, by the way," He Yan smiled, "Now that we have money, we won't sell Danai cakes from today on."

"Then what to do?" He Yunsheng murmured.

"Of course, we're going to the training ground. Do you want to go to school, Yunsheng?" she asked.
