After everyone worked together to successfully haul the mountain of plates, bowls, and chopsticks home and arrange them properly, the men who had been listening took the high table to play cards.
The large round tables that Wang Hu brought back were not suitable for playing mahjong, so the group had no choice but to search around and take out a relatively short table from the kitchen, which could also be used to play cards.
The pervasive smell of cigarette smoke in the air was unbearable. The ladies present quickly moved to Wang Hu's room to watch them play mahjong.
At this moment, Zhang Haili felt a little happy, because the noisy and chaotic environment made it impossible for her to get close to Wang Hu. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but pout slightly, revealing a hint of resentment. Then she kept a straight face, as if someone owed her eight hundred strings of cash.
Coincidentally, Luan Ying also had a gloomy expression at this moment. It turned out that she was still not over the scene of witnessing Wang Hu and Zhang Haili passionately kissing, and the jealousy in her heart had not subsided.
Looking at Wang Hu, who is a full 1.8 meters tall, he was cramped and huddled in front of the small table. Because the table and chair were too low, his long legs had nowhere to stretch out and were bent uncomfortably. In desperation, he had no choice but to quietly stretch his feet under the table in order to stretch his body a little.
Unexpectedly, this action plunged him into a strange situation—he felt completely different sensations from both sides. On one side was Zhang Haili opposite him, her delicate high-heeled boots moving back and forth on Wang Hu's legs like nimble little fish, gently brushing against him.
On the other side, Luan Ying was stomping on his feet without any mercy. Fortunately, it was the dead of winter, and everyone was wearing thick shoes, otherwise Wang Hu would probably have been in great pain.
A low table was covered tightly with a tablecloth, so the two of them weren't afraid of being seen by onlookers!
When they were at Luan Ying's house, they were planning to give her an extra 50 cents, but now Luan Ying insisted on giving her five dollars!
She was secretly plotting, thinking that if she could make Shi Yan and Zhang Haili lose more money, they probably wouldn't dare to come looking for Wang Hu again.
Luan Ying could tell that Shi Yan seemed to have some unusual feelings for Wang Hu!
But who could have predicted that Wang Hu was in such an extremely awkward situation at this moment? One of his legs felt like it was being gently massaged, sending shivers of pleasure through him!
His other foot was firmly pinned down, unable to move. Under such circumstances, how could he possibly have the courage to win the game?
Time flew by, and in less than an hour, Wang Hu voluntarily gave them two thousand yuan. As they won more and more, Shi Yan and Zhang Haili's smiles grew brighter and brighter, their excitement overflowing.
In contrast, Luan Ying maintained a gloomy expression throughout, her anger rising as her plan thwarted. Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, she quietly reached under the table and began to pinch Wang Hu hard.
Wang Hu was somewhat bewildered by the sudden pain, but then he thought that perhaps Luan Ying was retaliating for kissing him the night before. So, he decided to go with the flow and deliberately make himself lose even more miserably.
Before they knew it, the clock struck five in the afternoon. By this time, Wang Hu had already given away a staggering ten thousand yuan! The people watching Wang Hu play mahjong were all stunned, as ten thousand yuan was a considerable sum for a family.
Just as this thrilling mahjong game was about to reach a stalemate, someone finally stepped forward to call a halt—it turned out to be the person in charge of the village's weddings and funerals.
He shouted loudly in the courtyard, "Dinner is ready! Let's eat!" Hearing this, everyone got up as if they had been granted a pardon, and the fierce mahjong game finally came to a temporary end.
The number of people eating wasn't as large as expected; they were mostly people who had come to help earlier. Those who were sitting together playing cards dispersed before five o'clock, each returning home to enjoy their dinner.
However, Luan Ying, Zhang Haili, and Shi Ying were kept behind by Feng Fenfen.
Luan Ying had originally planned to leave, but since her house was next to the Feng family's and Shi Jun had just been playing cards there, and considering that no one might be home to cook, Feng Fenfen called Luan Ying's children over early in the morning.
After everyone had finished their meal, Zhang Haili suggested continuing to play cards. At this point, you tried to decline, saying you needed to spend time with your child, but Shi Jun intervened.
He knew perfectly well that Luan Ying had an exceptionally good day and had won a fortune. For Shi Jun, who was burdened with a mountain of debt, this money was enough for him to have a decent New Year.
After all, he had worked hard for a year and had just returned to his hometown when he lost all the money he had worked so hard to earn at the card table. Now that he finally had a chance to win back his losses, how could he be willing to let Luan Ying go so easily?
However, the game didn't go smoothly from there. After only a few rounds, Wang Hu kept losing money. Luan Ying, being perceptive, quickly realized that Wang Hu seemed to be doing this on purpose.
So, on a whim, she made up an excuse about having a stomachache and hurriedly left the card table. Seeing this, Shi Jun took Luan Ying's place without hesitation and continued to immerse himself in the intense game.
Wang Hu deliberately lost to Luan Ying and the others, but how could he possibly lose to one of the men? He lost and won, and ended up with two hundred yuan!
The game didn't end until 11 o'clock. Zhang Haili said she wanted to treat Wang Hu to dinner, as she felt bad not to treat him after winning so much money. However, Feng Fenfen stopped her, saying that there was food and wine at home, so they should just stay there.
Then all the card players left, leaving only Wang Hu's family, Shi Yan, Zhang Haili, and Luan Ying and her husband. After sending the child back, she came back!
