Early the next morning, Lu Chen got up early.
It's not that he is very diligent, it's just that living in a thatched house is too uncomfortable.
Few modern people can bear the dryness of the house and mosquito bites.
"There are still two days left before the time agreed by Mr. Hong. According to the mahjong revenue of the restaurant, I will be able to collect ten taels of silver tomorrow!"
Muttering to himself, Lu Chen walked out the door.
The Dafeng Dynasty emphasized martial arts over literature.
If conditions permit, children will be sent to private schools to obtain academic honors in the future.
Ordinary people live in poverty and get up early to work in order to make ends meet.
At Mao hour, there are vendors selling goods on the streets. Those who go to the early market, those who go up to the mountains to cut firewood, butchers and butchers, and breakfast shops are very busy.
Jiang Yingyue's natal family is in the south of the city, and they are a dutiful farmer.
If Lu Chen hadn't fallen in love with her beauty, he would have been taken by a wealthy family and taken back as a concubine.
Lu Chen digested the memories in his mind and walked to the middle of the street before he knew it.
When I looked up, I saw it was a pawn shop.
"Hey, Mr. Lu, I got up early today. I'm afraid the gambling house hasn't opened yet. Where are you going to have fun?"
"Hahaha!"
The pawnshop owner is a middle-aged man with a goatee and a very wretched appearance.
When Lu Chen heard this, he was not angry and actually walked towards the pawn shop.
"Why, Mr. Lu still has some treasures at home that he plans to pawn and go back to the gambling house to avenge his shame?"
The boss and Lu Chen were also old acquaintances, and they had often collected items from Lu Chen before.
He despised this kind of gambler.
But if you don’t do the business delivered to your door, it won’t be done in vain!
"It's not a good day to redeem some items!"
Lu Chen spoke calmly, looking particularly confident.
"oh?"
The goatee boss stood up in surprise, looked at Lu Chen's poor appearance, and felt a burst of contempt in his heart.
"Master Lu, is he getting rich?"
"Could it be that the fortunes at the gambling table turned around and I became the master?"
Knowing that Goatee had always looked down on him, Lu Chen didn't quarrel with him.
He took out three taels of silver from his pocket and slapped it on the counter. He looked at him calmly and asked, "Does my wife still have those pieces of jewelry from before?"
"Let's redeem them all today!"
Goatee's eyes widened. In addition to being shocked that Lu Chen could take out the money, he was more shocked by his words.
The sun is rising in the west.
The famous big gambler in Jinchuan City didn't gamble even if he had money, but he actually came to him to redeem his belongings?
"Mr. Lu, do you know the rules here?"
Goatee narrowed his eyes, not believing that Lu Chen was really here to redeem the jewelry.
"Take it all out, don't talk nonsense, I'm in a hurry!"
Lu Chen was in no mood to argue with him and spoke directly.
"OK!"
Seeing that Lu Chen was determined to redeem himself, Goatee stopped teasing.
He immediately took out a pair of bracelets and a hairpin from the counter, put them on the table and said.
"I paid you two taels of silver for this pair of bracelets and one tael of silver for the hairpin. Now if you want to redeem it, you will have to pay an additional two hundred coins."
Looking at the pair of bracelets and hairpins on the table, Lu Chen felt heartbroken for no reason.
When Lu Chen married Jiang Yingyue, he didn't buy her any good jewelry.
This pair of bracelets only cost two taels of silver, so they were given away.
"know!"
After leaving another two hundred coins, Lu Chen picked up the bracelet and hairpin and put them in his arms, then turned around and left without saying a word.
The goatee's sharp eyes were shocked when he saw the sparkle in Lu Chen's eyes when he turned around.
"Has this kid really changed his ways?!"
In front of the restaurant, Lu Chen looked up at the signboard, feeling dazed for a while.
Before yesterday, I was still a stinky beggar covered in rags.
Full of gambling debts, his wife and children were separated.
"Mr. Lu, you are here!"
"The shopkeeper came home last night and hasn't come over yet. Please sit down and I'll make you a pot of tea!"
When the waiter saw Lu Chen coming over, he immediately felt like he was seeing his own mother, his flattering attitude was disgusting.
But no one despised him anymore.
Everyone in the restaurant didn't know that yesterday, shopkeeper Xu offered half of the profit, but Mr. Lu refused.
If it weren't for him, would the restaurant ever be overcrowded?
So now it is not an exaggeration to say that Lu Chen is the second shopkeeper of the restaurant.
"No, I'll buy some food and wine to visit my relatives!"
Lu Chen didn't pause and directly stated his purpose.
Last time he asked for money, he injured his father-in-law and never visited him. When he thought of this, his heart felt as uncomfortable as a knife.
"Okay, just wait!"
The waiter responded, turned around and entered the kitchen.
When giving money, the accountant didn't accept anything he said.
Xu Youcai said when he left last night that Lu Chen would eat and drink for free in the future.
This is a money-spinner, and he naturally knows which is more important.
Lu Chen didn't care, asked him to write down the account, and walked out of the restaurant.
Finally, we came to the herbal medicine shop, grabbed a few traditional Chinese medicines for stimulating vitality and blood circulation and treating bruises, and walked towards the south of the city carrying large and small bags.
…
South of the city, Jiang family!
In a small adobe house.
"Yue'er, don't leave when you come back this time!"
"Lu Chen is addicted to gambling and is very romantic. How could he ever care about the feelings of your mother and daughter?"
"Poor little Tiantian is only five years old, and the soup is watery and the child is starving!"
Sobbing came from the house. An old woman was sitting at the table, looking at the little girl holding rice porridge and swallowing it crazily, hiding her face in tears.
Opposite her sat a beautiful woman with an excellent appearance.
Although she is said to be a beautiful woman, her appearance is very young, but she looks like she is in her early twenties, so she has a unique look.
"Mom, I know!"
"It's a sweet life but a bitter one. She threw herself into the Lu family. I'm going to keep her here this time. If she can get through this, I'll pick her up again!"
"Can't make it through..."
At this point, Jiang Yingyue's voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes were filled with despair.
"Ahem!"
"Yue'er, why are you so stupid!"
In the back room, an old cough sounded.
Jiang Yingyue and her mother wiped their tears at the same time.
"Dad, your body..."
As soon as she saw her father's miserable appearance, Jiang Yingyue's newly aroused desire to return disappeared again.
"Yue'er, listen to dad and don't go back!"
"That's a dragon's den and a tiger's den. It's an abyss. Neither you nor Tiantian will end well!"
"Just pretend that Lu Chen is dead!"
Jiang's father has always been kind and righteous. Although he was born in poverty, he is full of passion.
The Lu family was pretty good to them back then, but since Lu Chen's parents passed away, everything has changed.
Jiang Yingyue was able to live with Lu Chen for so long because of the guidance of Jiang's parents.
But this time, Jiang's father finally became disheartened and didn't want his daughter to go back and suffer any more!
"Dad, Mom, are you at home?"
"I'm here to take Yingyue back!"
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
When Xiao Tiantian, who was devouring the bowl, heard this, her little eyes lit up immediately, she looked at the door and shouted with joy: "Daddy, it's daddy who's back!"
"Mom, daddy is back!"
Jiang's mother looked at the delighted Xiao Tiantian and couldn't hold back her tears any longer.
"What a sin!"
"What a sin!"
Father Jiang was also angry and coughed violently: "This beast... why did he come to my house again? This time I have to fight with him... cough cough."
"Dad, don't be angry. I will make it clear to him and we will have nothing to do with him in the future!"
Jiang Yingyue seemed to have made up her mind, and finally glanced at her father's weak face, clenching her fists.
"Squeak!"
The door opens.
Lu Chen looked at Jiang Yingyue with joy on his face, and before he could say anything, there was a bolt from the blue.
"Lu Chen, please divorce me!"
