"It's not good for him?" Qin Wanru was stunned and subconsciously replied, "What is there about him that is worthy of being targeted? Instead of thinking about these things, it is better to think about the battle against the Yuan family tomorrow."
Chu Chuyan hesitated to speak, but Chu Huanzhao on the side couldn't help it: "Mom, my brother-in-law and Yuan Wendong have had issues before. This time, in order to ensure that Yuan Wendong chooses him tomorrow, he went out of his way to provoke him again. He has already threatened I want to destroy him tomorrow; and I have offended Shi Kun again today. That guy is a petty person at first glance and will definitely take revenge."
Qin Wanru replied: "Provoking Yuan Wendong is the plan we made for Xiasi to fight against Shangsi. Wouldn't it be just right if Yuan Wendong really fell into the trap? As for safety issues, don't worry about it. Firstly, he probably doesn't need to actually play. Secondly, right? Your father and I are watching, are you going to sit back and watch someone named Yuan do it?"
Chu Chuyan also spoke at this time: "I'm just afraid that the Yuan family has some trump card that we don't know about. I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy in my heart."
"It's better to be careful. Hong Xingying will be the first one to play tomorrow. He is also a leader among his peers and is not the strongest in our Chu family. He is just suitable to take the lead and test the Yuan family." Chu Zhong Tian said in a deep voice, "I have called this group of people back for special training these days. I feel that dealing with the Yuan family or even the Wu family will not be a big problem."
Zu An, who was on the side, thought that it was no wonder that he didn't see Hong Xingying in the classroom today. At that time, he was quite regretful that he missed the opportunity. It turned out that he was recalled to the family for special training.
At this time, Qin Wanru suddenly looked at Zu An and said: "I know you and Hong Xingying had some disagreements before. I don't care what happens to you two on weekdays, but you are not allowed to provoke him tomorrow, so as not to affect his mood and make us miserable. The family has a bad start."
Chu Huazhao on the side suddenly gave up: "Mom, won't he have to go out to fight tomorrow? Why don't you care about his mood."
Qin Wanru rolled his eyes: "He was just trying to hold Yuan Wendong back, so there was no need to actually fight."
Chu Zhongtian beside him also laughed dumbly: "Xiao An, don't be nervous. If it is your turn to fight tomorrow, you can just admit defeat."
Apparently even a good old man like him has the same view as his wife.
Zu An was used to it, and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, if I really need to go out to fight tomorrow, and it proves that the Chu family has reached an extremely dangerous time, I will definitely come out to turn the tide."
He felt that it was God's will, otherwise why would he be placed at the end? Aren't the protagonists always the finale?
"Bah, crow's mouth, say something unpleasant!" Qin Wanru glared at him, obviously very dissatisfied. This guy never said a few good words.
She just felt upset and turned to her daughter: "Xiaozhao, you'd better not worry about others, worry about yourself first. You have been playing and having fun all day long, but now you are only ranked third. Tomorrow you will be ranked bottom Secondly, your sister and the others will probably be able to solve the problem in the first few games, and you won’t have to play by then to avoid injury.”
"Oh~" Chu pouted, obviously a little dissatisfied, but thinking about being next to his brother-in-law, he felt a lot better.
Chu Zhongtian said to Chu Chuyan at this time: "Tomorrow there will be you, Hong Xingying, Yue Shan, Chu Hongcai, and Chu Yucheng. These five games should be stable, and winning another one should not be a big problem. "
Zu An quietly pulled Chu Huanzhao's sleeve under the table and asked in a low voice: "Who are Chu Hongcai and Chu Yucheng?"
Chu Huanzhao's face was slightly red, and she looked up at her mother and sister. She felt like she was making small moves in class. She quickly explained: "Chu Hong is the son of his second uncle. He is the deputy captain of the Chu family's guard. He was originally responsible for guarding the family. Lingquan, it turned out that something happened that night and the Lingquan was polluted, so he has been blaming himself, and he has been thinking about you behind closed doors during this time, so he didn’t see you.”
"In addition, Chu Yucheng is the son of the third uncle's family. He is a chubby little boy. He was quite cute when he was a child. But he has become fatter and fatter as he grows up, which is not interesting at all."
Zu An couldn't help but secretly glanced at Chu Zhongtian and saw that the second and third bedrooms all gave birth to sons. As a result, you gave birth to a bunch of beautiful daughters. He felt that this father-in-law was a bit incompetent.
This is not because he favors sons over daughters, but in this society, heirs are related to the issue of family inheritance. If Chu Zhongtian had several worthy sons, I am afraid that Chu Chuyan would not have to recruit him as his son-in-law before.
Hey, after saying this, I still want to thank my father-in-law for his incompetence!
At this time, Qin Wanru noticed the little movements of the two people, and his face suddenly became unhappy: "A little tip, go back and rest early after eating, don't affect tomorrow's competition."
What's going on with my two daughters? They all have bad tastes. The eldest daughter is just a mediocre person. What's going on with the second daughter? Why is her relationship with that kid Zu An getting better and better?
Chu Huizhao muttered: "Didn't you say you don't need me to play tomorrow?"
But when she saw her mother's angry eyes, she reluctantly went back to her room.
Qin Wanru looked at Zu An again: "You should go back too, we have to discuss the details of tomorrow's competition."
Obviously she didn't think Zu An was qualified to have relevant discussions, and she originally planned to use him as cannon fodder to contain Yuan Wendong. There was really no need for him to participate too much.
Zu An shrugged. There was no point in staying here. It was better to go back early.
When I closed the door, I could faintly hear the sound of discussion coming from inside:
"The most powerful member of the Yuan family should be Yuan Wendong. The others are not a big concern. As for the Wu family, the younger generation is not as good as ours, so it shouldn't be a big problem..."
After leaving the door, Cheng Shouping had already greeted him with a flattering smile: "Uncle, have you finished your meal?"
Zu An suddenly felt that it was quite good to have such a loser. He suddenly thought of something, put his arms around his shoulders and pulled him aside: "There will be a family competition tomorrow. Is there any opening in the city?"
Cheng Shouping nodded subconsciously: "Yes, most people are still optimistic about our Chu family, like buying the odds of the eldest lady winning..."
Zu An interrupted directly: "Let's not talk about other people first, what are my odds?"
Cheng Shouping looked strange and quietly stretched out a finger.
"10 for 1?" Zu An frowned, "It's a bit low, but it's not bad."
He was about to take the banknote from his arms, but Cheng Shouping hurriedly interrupted him: "Uncle, it's not 10 for 1, but 100 for 1."
I thought that my good-looking uncle would be furious when he heard the news, but who knew that he was ecstatic instead: "Hahaha, 1 for 100? God is helping me, I'm going to make it."
Cheng Shouping blinked his eyes, thinking that his uncle couldn't bear the stimulation and went crazy?
Zu An suddenly realized something and asked hurriedly: "Who made the handicap? It couldn't be Silver Hook Casino again, right?"
Last time Silver Hook Casino lost 7.5 million taels of silver and he couldn't even pay it back. If it happened again this time, he wouldn't be able to pay it back if he sold them.
Cheng Shouping shook his head: "No, you won the silver hook gambling house last time, and your vitality was greatly damaged. At the same time, the reputation was also ruined a lot. The business became increasingly deserted. Other families and forces in the city also quietly launched gambling workshop business.”
Zu An's eyes lit up: "That's the best, here, there are 20,000 taels here, you go out and buy and I win!"
As soon as he took it out, he felt something was wrong. After thinking about it, he took back another ten thousand taels: "Forget it, just buy ten thousand taels."
The level of arithmetic in this world is really bad. It can be seen from the odds in the gambling houses that the risk control of each one is really bad. It is really bad enough to make them bankrupt. For example, the last time I gambled with Silver Hook Fangyi lost 7.5 million taels is an example.
So he was worried that the same problem would happen again this time. No matter how much he won, it would be in vain if the other party could not pay compensation. It would be better to win less, within the tolerance of the other party, so that he could still get cash, so he thought about it and just decided Ten thousand taels.
But Cheng Shouping hurriedly said: "Uncle, if we have too much money, we can't make it like this. Isn't it just a waste of money to bet like this?"
"You know nothing, just do as I say. It's not convenient for me to go out now, so go and place your bet for me." Zu An snorted.
Cheng Shouping muttered secretly, why do you really have so much confidence and suddenly took back 10,000 taels? Some people would think it was too much money to win. In the final analysis, it was because he had no confidence and just wanted to lose less money.
"What did you say?" Zu An glared at him angrily.
"It's nothing," Cheng Shouping smiled and said seriously, "Uncle, the Chu family strictly prohibits gambling, and I don't dare to violate it."
"Can't you just not let others know?" Zu An stuffed a one-hundred-tael silver note into his clothes, "Okay, okay, this is your errand fee, and I will give you dividends after you win."
Cheng Shouping's eyes lit up and he immediately changed his face: "Okay, I'll do it for you, little one!" After saying that, he ran out quickly.
Zu An was stunned for a moment, wouldn't this guy take his money and run away? But considering that all slaves in this world are under contract and the outside world is dangerous everywhere, where can he go?
At this time, Cheng Shouping was walking towards the gambling house, thinking secretly. He heard that everyone was not optimistic about his odds, and he was a little embarrassed, so he deliberately invested 10,000 taels for himself. Anyway, he had 750 in his hand. Ten thousand taels, ten thousand taels is nothing to him, and it is worth buying to save face.
It's just that as my uncle's book boy, I must solve my uncle's problems. How can I watch my uncle lose money? Hum hum, I decided to buy his opponent to win, so that even if my uncle loses, he will still have money, and he will definitely praise me for being smart.
Haha, I'm such a clever little guy.
Let's say that when Zu An returned to his yard, he was suddenly startled because Old Man Mi was already waiting there.
"Senior, are you here?" Zu An was as well-behaved as he wanted at this time, and he didn't look like he was causing trouble at all.
Old Man Mi hummed and said: "Last time, your progress was too fast. I was so shocked that I forgot to remind you that the 'Sunflower Phantom' that I taught you before will never be used during the competition tomorrow unless it is a matter of life and death." Don't use it, otherwise it will easily bring you death."
"Ah?" Zu An was dumbfounded. Was all the evil-fighting swordsmanship he had practiced so hard in vain?
