Chapter 465 Gambling
Upon hearing this, Song Hemao and Song Hewei couldn't help but stretch their necks a little further.
"What else can I do? Go to the gambling den, of course."
"Gambling house? My God, he's so bold."
"Hmph, what do you know? Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. Since ancient times, making money has always been dangerous. If you don't take a risk, who knows how capable you are? If you succeed, you will turn your life around and live a good life for the rest of your life."
"But what if it fails?"
"Failure? What's there to be afraid of? It's just a loss of some money. We are poor to begin with. Even if we lose some more money, we are still poor. We can still live a good life."
"You're right, but I don't have any capital. The gambling house will definitely not be willing to lend me money to gamble, right?"
"My friend had no capital at first, so he sold his family's valuables. His daughter was pretty, and he got five taels of silver from her. With that five taels of silver, his current fortune is probably worth several hundred taels."
"But what should I do if the women at home make trouble?"
"Let her make a fuss. There are other children anyway. They can't make a fuss forever. Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. Can she really kill you? It will be fine after a while."
"You're right."
…
Song Hemao and Song Hewei looked at each other in shock.
Several hundred taels?
If their family also had it, they would be able to hold their heads high in the village in the future.
The two stayed at the foot of the mountain for a while, but didn't hear any useful information, so they quickly returned home.
On the way, Song Hemao said excitedly: "You just heard it, I didn't expect that gambling could make so much money."
Song Hewei was also very excited: "That's right, we can go gamble, that way we can make money much faster."
Song Hemao suddenly stopped and said, "But we don't have any money now, and our family doesn't have any money either. We..."
Song Hewei knew what his second brother meant. "Are you asking which child we should sell for money?"
Song Hemao nodded uncomfortably, "Yeah, we don't have money, but we all have a money-losing product."
Song Hewei said tentatively: “Second brother, you are the older brother, why don’t you sell your Song Chumiao first this time?”
Song Hemao said unhappily, "Why?"
Song Hewei: "Just because your daughter is eight years old this year, she is older than my daughter. My daughter is only five years old, younger than Song Chuman. If she was sold, she would be older and could definitely survive. You might see her again one day in the future."
"No!" Song Hemao said firmly, "If you want to sell her, sell Song Chuyun. She's still young, and you can just make up a pretext to sell her. When your family has money, you can redeem her. She won't hold a grudge against you then."
It’s not that he loves his daughter so much, he just doesn’t want to suffer any loss.
Why should I sell his first?
Song Hewei also objected: "I don't agree either. My daughter is still young and she can't live without home."
Song Hemao thought for a moment, then suddenly said seriously, "Then we can only sell both daughters together. Then we can each take the money and gamble. The possibility of us winning is even higher."
Song Hewei's eyes lit up. "This is a fair method. Let's do it this way, but we can't leave the village now."
Song Hemao: "If the family needs to buy something recently, they can go out of the village to the city to buy it, as long as there are family members in the village."
Song Hewei smiled and said, "Okay, next time we'll take our daughter to the city to do some shopping."
