Yang Donghu had never heard of such a thing and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
After all, this was a matter concerning the girl's reputation, so Ning Can briefly mentioned it in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Anyway, it's enough for you to know these things. The more you know, the better you'll be on guard. If Ruyue had found a good family when she was young, perhaps she could have grown up to be a good person, but she grew up under the influence of Zheng Lan, so I'm afraid that won't be the case."
Yang Donghu had a plan in mind and thanked her, "Thanks to Sister Can for reminding us, otherwise we would still be in the dark. Don't worry, sister, we will definitely not say that we got it from you."
"These are all trivial matters. I had already broken up with her when I moved out. I'm not afraid of her." Ning Can said indifferently.
"Thank you, sister. We won't bother you anymore and will visit you another day."
"Okay, come and play often."
Ning Can had told almost everything he knew, and Yang Donghu said goodbye. Zhao Luochuan went in and said hello to Ning Yang, and the two of them returned to the town.
It was the same lady who sold wontons from last time. Yang Donghu remembered her after eating there once. He walked out of Ning's house without turning around and went straight to the wonton stall.
He ordered two bowls of meat wontons to fill their stomachs first. He got up early in the morning and left without eating.
The delicious wonton soup immediately dispelled the coldness in his body. Zhao Luochuan slurped the soup and asked, "What are you going to tell Auntie?"
Yang Donghu took a bite of the plump wonton, the rich juice filling his lips and teeth. He said with a hint of satisfaction, "To be honest, my aunt has her own considerations. This marriage will definitely not be possible. Zheng Lan sounds like a sinister and venomous snake. She will definitely not give up easily if she sets her sights on our family. Who knows what she might do. We must prepare in advance. We have already suffered such a loss once, and we must not let it happen again."
"It would be better if it was a venomous snake. Hit the snake at its weakest point, which is its fatal weakness."
Yang Donghu nodded: "Actually, there is one thing I don't understand. If my son's leg injury is really unbearable, why doesn't he borrow money from others to treat it first? She pretends to be so good in the village, so it shouldn't be difficult for her to borrow some money. It's really strange."
"Zheng Lan doesn't seem to be telling the truth. It's not certain whether her leg is injured or not."
There was no market in town today, and it was already past lunchtime. Not many people came to eat wontons at noon. Apart from the two of them, there was only an old lady at the stall wrapping wontons with her fingers flying.
"Zheng Lan? Are you talking about Zheng Lan from Xiaoli Village?" The old lady put down the wontons in her hand and suddenly spoke.
Yang Donghu and Zhao Luochuan didn't react to this question for a while, but nodded first.
The old lady gave them a slightly apologetic smile and said, "I wasn't eavesdropping on your conversation. I just heard a familiar name and overheard a little."
"It's okay, Auntie, do you know Zheng Lan?" Yang Donghu made room on the bench for the auntie to sit over and ask.
The old lady turned off the fire and sat over. "It really is that Zheng Lan. I have a younger sister who married into Xiaoli Village. She used to be a neighbor of Zheng Lan. She got sick last year and died without recovery. I heard about this from my younger sister."
It turned out that the lady who was talking to Ning Can was the sister of the lady selling wontons. It was such a coincidence that they met each other.
Yang Donghu said, "Do you know about Zheng Lan's family situation?"
"I'm not very clear about this. I just know that her family is not a good family. My sister hates them every time she mentions them. I heard you say that Zheng Lan's son has a leg injury? That shouldn't be the case." The aunt asked curiously.
"What shouldn't be? Shouldn't the leg injury be?"
The old lady's stall has been here for many years. As long as she tells me one or two things she has heard or seen, she can always find something.
"Zheng Lan's son, what's his name? He's...oh, Li Xiang. He owed money to the gambling house in town. The thugs from the gambling house are looking for him. I heard he still owes a lot. Could he have been beaten by the thugs? That shouldn't be the case. The gambling house only wants money when it comes to debt collection. And the last time I saw him, his legs were still fine. He was begging the thugs to give him a few days to raise the money."
Yang Donghu perked up instantly. He was just dozing off when someone handed him a pillow. It was a lucky coincidence that someone came early. He asked, "When did this happen?"
"About half a month ago. Although my stall is small, it happens to be on the way to the gambling house. I could see him every day a few days ago, but I rarely see him these days." The old lady thought for a while and said.
So that's what it is. What's the point of having to rest at home because of a broken leg? I'm afraid he's trying to avoid gambling debts. Zheng Lan is really good at finding excuses.
No wonder she was in such a hurry to settle down. She must have been warned by the thugs in the gambling house that her son would be ruined if she couldn't pay the money.
"Auntie, you have helped us a lot." Yang Donghu expressed his gratitude.
The old lady waved her hand cheerfully: "Why are you being so polite? It was just a few words."
Yang Donghu paid the money and thanked the old lady again.
Zhao Luochuan gently took Yang Donghu's hand and said with a smile, "Let's go and hit the snake where it's weakest."
The two of them held hands blatantly, attracting the attention of passers-by, but neither of them let go and walked to the front of the gambling house.
All casinos are similar to each other. Lively and chaotic scenes can be seen everywhere. Gamblers roll the dice with confidence, dreaming of getting rich overnight.
When you win, you always think you can win more. When you lose, you want to make back the money you lost. But in the end, without exception, you lose everything.
Zhao Luochuan asked for a small private room in the teahouse and placed Yang Donghu there. It would be too conspicuous for a guy to go in and out of the casino and it would easily cause unnecessary trouble.
