Zheng Jiaxing smiled when he saw Wang Qingzhi. Li Na was a little unhappy. Wang Qingzhi was a famous scoundrel in the village. Although he had never done anything evil, he had never done anything good either. Of course, they were all from the same village. They often met, so their relationship was not that bad. Li Na simply did not like the person. She could not figure out why the fellow was at their house. They did not have much interaction.
"Brother Wang, why are you here? Is there something? "Zheng Jiaxing asked despite knowing the answer.
"I don't come without a reason. I came because I have a favor to ask of you," said Wang Qingzhi.
Li Na immediately turned wary. "Brother Wang, we have only been married for two years. We don't have any savings to lend you."
"What are you talking about? Am I the kind of person who comes to borrow money? My cousin has prepared the money for me and asked me to go and get it. However, it's quite a distance. Sister-in-law is worried about me going alone, so I came to Jiaxing to get him to accompany me. Once I get the money, I'll be back, "said Wang Qingzhi with an unhappy look.
Li Na heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that he was not borrowing money. Anything was negotiable as long as it was not about money. She asked, "Your cousin's house? Where is it? "
"Yuling. It's a round trip. It'll take six hours on a motorcycle. I have no choice. My cousin's family will be going to Dajin tomorrow. It's an early morning train. If I don't go now, how am I to get the money? "
"Make a bank transfer," said Li Na immediately.
"Would I go through the trouble if I could make a bank transfer?" asked Wang Qingzhi.
Li Na was just about to say something when Zheng Jiaxing immediately interrupted, "We are all from the same village. It's nothing much, so I'll follow. The two of us can take care of each other. Also, take the child to bed early. There's no need to wait for me. "
With that said, Zheng Jiaxing got up and prepared to leave.
With Wang Qingzhi around, Li Na did not want to reject her man, so she tacitly agreed.
Zheng Jiaxing and Wang Qingzhi left the house. After turning a corner, Zheng Jiaxing immediately heaved a sigh of relief …
Wang Qingzhi said with a look of disdain, "Jiaxing, it's not that I want to criticize you, but for a man to live like you … Tsk tsk … Aggrieved!"
Zheng Jiaxing smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm not afraid of my wife, I love my wife …"
"Come on, that's what all henpecked men say. Take my family for example. If I say one, it means one. If I say two, it means two. Fourth Sister's family is the same. You brat, you have to carry the family in the future. What's the point of always being suppressed? What's wrong with playing a few rounds of cards? I didn't steal or rob anything … "Wang Qingzhi said as he walked. Zheng Jiaxing just laughed dryly and responded. As for what he was thinking, only he knew.
It was still the same house that was emitting smoke. A large group of people gathered inside, smoking, playing cards, and shouting. With the addition of spectators, the atmosphere of the whole house could not be said to be not lively. The moment Zheng Jiaxing entered, he was infected by the atmosphere. He even turned a little excited.
Wang Laosi was still standing on the high stool. When he saw Zheng Jiaxing and Wang Qingzhi, his fierce-looking face cracked into a smile. The light bulb was right above his head, preventing the light from shining on his face. He looked gloomy and hideous, but his laughter was extremely hearty. He said with a hearty laugh, "Aiyah, isn't this our King of Gamblers?"
This shout attracted the gazes of many people. When they saw Zheng Jiaxing, all of them shouted.
"The Son of Providence is here!"
"Jiaxing, I heard you got a big one yesterday! Kid, you are going to be a tyrant at the gambling table. "
"King of Gamblers Zheng Jiaxing. Haha …"
"Jiaxing, don't come to our table. Our stinky hands can't beat you."
With a group of people flattering him, Zheng Jiaxing's head turned hot. He actually believed that he had talent in gambling and that his luck was heaven-defying. He, who had always been a little cowardly, seemed to find the feeling of a man here. He immediately straightened his back and his voice turned a lot louder. He exclaimed, "I'm just lucky. I don't know how to play at all. Well, let's continue today. I'll treat tomorrow. Let's go to town for a drink! "
"Alright!" Everyone cheered as their praises increased. Zheng Jiaxing also smiled even more happily. Unknowingly, he was immersed in the hypocritical praise, unable to extricate himself.
Zheng Jiaxing did not realize that the gloomy face that was standing under the light bulb had cracked open. It was as though it was about to devour someone …
Zheng Jiaxing took his seat as the so-called croupier began handing out the cards. There were four people at the table. Three of them played, while the last one dealt. This was a local form of gambling. The locals called it Pit Stuffing. Basically, it was to throw handfuls of money onto the table. It resembled the gamblers in movies. However, compared to others, the environment was like night and day.
But to these gamblers, such an environment was already very good. As long as the police did not come to arrest them, they would be satisfied with a place to play!
Zheng Jiaxing won more than a thousand in his first round. He continued winning the second round, lost the third round, and won the fourth round …
Amidst the wins and losses, Zheng Jiaxing's overall wins were slightly higher.
The moon in the sky quickly rose and soon, it reached the middle of the sky. Then, it sank into the depths of the night.
Just as Zheng Jiaxing was rejoicing, his cell phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and was surprised to see Li Na calling.
Zheng Jiaxing immediately turned flustered as he hurriedly said, "I can't make the call now. I need to take this call. Brother Wang, do me a favor … "
Wang Qingzhi was playing cards when he heard Zheng Jiaxing call him. He was a little displeased, but after some thought, he forced a smile. "Alright, I'll go with you."
Zheng Jiaxing was in a rush to leave when he heard a group of people shout behind him. "Gambling King Zheng, with your skills, you earn a few thousand a day. That's a hundred thousand a month! With such an income and such ability, you're still being managed by a woman? Heh heh … "
"That's right. Whoever's more capable in the family has the final say."
"How can there be such a thing? A man needs to be managed by a woman while playing cards. What's more, she won every day. If I had the luck and ability to do so, I would have divorced her immediately and found two young girls who were only seventeen or eighteen years old! Haha … "
"Go ahead. Don't lead him astray. But if I had money, I would definitely be in power … "
"Me too …"
…
Although Zheng Jiaxing had left the house, he could still hear the voices in the house clearly. He stood at the door and watched as the number on his cell phone kept flashing. His eyes flickered, but finally, they fixed on the word "wife." Then, he took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.
"Wife, what's the matter?" Zheng Jiaxing picked up the phone. He, who was in high spirits just a moment ago, immediately turned into a newly married man. He was a little timid and shy. His eyes also turned a lot clearer.
