Chapter 258: Riding a Tiger



More than twelve yuan!

Not more than two dollars!

Tian Youcai's eyes were almost popping out of his head.

He never lost much money before, so why is it that he lost such a huge amount now?

"I, this can't be blamed on me, it's all that Manshu's wife's fault! She's the one behind all this!"

Old Mrs. Tian frowned, her skinny face full of resentment towards Old Mrs. Ling.

Old Mrs. Ling is really good at playing cards!

But she was the only one who won, leaving Old Mrs. Tian with no chance to fight back at all!

The result is what it is now!

Mrs. Tian said with a bitter face, "I still owe her more than two yuan... I have to send it to her tomorrow..."

Tian Youcai, who was just telling Old Man Tian how powerful his mother was, is now furious.

"What are you giving me? I won't give it to her! She won so much money and you still have the nerve to ask for this little bit!"

"So many people saw it, how can I not give it to you!" Old Man Tian was so angry that he almost wanted to beat the prodigal woman out. "I've told you so many times, don't just think about playing cards every day, don't you know the principle of quitting when you're ahead! Now you're fine, right? You've lost so much!"

Mrs. Tian said: "That's all..."

"Even if she wasn't there, wouldn't it be possible for someone else to beat you?" Old Man Tian said, "I told you it would be a disaster sooner or later, but you didn't believe me. And now what happened? A dozen yuan! My family can't even earn that much in half a month! Is this whole family going to starve to death if we follow you?"

As Old Man Tian spoke, his face turned a little red, and he looked obviously very angry.

Just over ten dollars!

That’s not a small number!

Tian Youcai was not a good worker and could not make much money. The only thing his family earned was some crops from farming. Tian Youcai's wife He Juan worked as a waitress in a restaurant in town, making only 17 or 18 yuan a month.

Now Mrs. Tian has actually spent He Juan's entire month's salary.

Who wouldn’t be angry about this!

As he was talking, Old Man Tian suddenly thought: "By the way, where did you get so much money?"

Most of their family's money is managed by their daughter-in-law He Juan. After all, she earns the most money, and this capable daughter-in-law is qualified to be the head of the family.

It is impossible for Old Mrs. Tian to have so much money in her pocket on a normal day.

But Mrs. Tian just said that she still owed Mrs. Ling more than two yuan, which means she had already given her ten yuan.

Where does this money come from?

Tian Youcai also followed up by asking, "Mom, do you still have so much private money hidden away?"

Old Mrs. Tian said with a pale face:

"No, no, that money...was given by Yulian."

"Yu Lian? Why did she suddenly give you so much money?" Tian Youcai asked.

He didn't believe that his sister could be so filial. Usually, Tian Yulian came over to bring him some eggs and snacks, and it was impossible for her to give him money.

Old Mrs. Tian hesitated and said, "That's right, it's the money that Yulian asked me to go to town to buy cloth for her clothes. If there is no change, I will give it to you in full..."

Tian Yulian usually asked Old Lady Tian to buy things for her. This time, since she didn't have change, she just paid for it because Tian Yulian felt that Old Lady Tian didn't have the courage to spend the money herself.

But Tian Yulian never thought that once her mother sat at the card table, her brain would be useless.

Once someone gets provoked, I completely forget what the money in my pocket is for.

When I think about it, I am in a dilemma...
