Baozi Xishi's Struggle

Chapter 225: Little Tiger, I have met you, Master.

"A three-year-old child will only cry when things don't go well. But she is not my sister, who will endure everything and do everything by herself."

Ever since her son married his wife, Li Changgen's mother became a mother-in-law and started acting like a mother-in-law.

He just stretches out his hand for clothes and opens his mouth for food, but he doesn't even help when the oil bottle falls over.

Zheng Sanniang served a large family every day and complained to Mrs. Liu in private, so Mrs. Liu knew that the old woman was lazy.

She said nice things and wanted to stay because she cherished her grandson, but if she really had to take care of a three-year-old child, she would not necessarily be willing to do these chores because she is used to being lazy.

As expected, Mrs. Liu's prediction came true. After saying this, Li Changgen's mother became silent. She moved her lips, but was unwilling to say another word about keeping the child.

Li Changgen refused to give in. "You can let me divorce you, but just give me the money and I'll write you a divorce letter right away. Xiao Zhuzi, forget it."

Zheng Sanniang's face was full of tears, and she knelt on the ground with a plop: "My husband, for so many years, I have been a good wife, serving the whole family in your house, and I have never asked you for anything."

"Please be kind and give me the small pillar for the sake of our marriage." After saying this, he was about to touch the ground with his head and kowtowed desperately.

Shen Yu and Mrs. Liu held her on either side, trying to help her up, but she just cried and refused to get up.

When Li Changgen saw his wife kneeling on the ground crying, he remembered Zheng Sanniang's gentleness and thoughtfulness in the past, and his heart softened a little.

But when he thought about the tempting piles of silver in the casino, that trace of softness in his heart immediately disappeared.

He made up his mind and said, "If you add another twenty taels of silver, I will give you the child. With the silver, I can make a comeback, and you will regret it then."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Sanniang looked in disbelief at her husband, who had changed beyond all recognition and only cared about money. She even forgot to cry and just knelt on the ground and looked at Li Changgen in a daze.

Shen Yu felt even more disgusted with this man. He didn't even want to look at him. He just tried his best to help Zheng Sanniang up from the ground.

Sister Liu spat at Li Changgen in hatred, and then helped Zheng Sanniang to support her, saying, "Sanniang, wake up. You have seen clearly what kind of person Li Changgen is now. You are still kneeling down to beg him. Hurry up and stand up. Can you have some backbone?"

At this time, the people around also started shouting.

"This man is really a piece of shit. Not only does he want his wife to pay off her gambling debts, but he also wants to exchange his son for money. He only wants to gamble and make a profit."

"Alas, this family is finished. People who are addicted to gambling will never be good. Let's stop watching and just go our separate ways."

"Hey, hey, don't go, wait a little longer and see if this man can sell his son for a good price."

"You are such a heartless person. The twenty taels of silver that my wife gave me were all borrowed. Where did she get the extra twenty taels? You don't help to persuade her, but just stand here to watch the fun. I think you are not a good person either."

A few idle guys who were watching the fun started quarreling while talking.

Just as the place was in chaos, three big men came out of the yard. The leader said, "Li Changgen, we have cleared out all the junk in your house. Bring me the title deed."

Li Changgen, who had just been so aggressive towards Zheng Sanniang, immediately changed his expression, smiled and said carefully: "Second Master Hu, please wait a moment, I will have the money soon."

He turned to Zheng Sanniang and said viciously: "Hurry up and take out the silver. Can't you see that the Second Master is waiting there?"

Zheng Sanniang shuddered a bit, and said in a low but insistent voice: "I only have twenty taels. I want a divorce, and I also want Xiao Zhuzi."

Li Changgen looked at the big man standing next to him and urged him impatiently: "Forty taels, forty taels, I will agree to give Xiaozhuzi to you."

The leading man was full of impatience: "What do you mean by forty or twenty taels? We don't have time to listen to your nagging."

"I still say that today we must take one of the following: money, people, and property deeds."

Shen Yu saw that Li Changgen was indeed predicted by Lu Lang, but he didn't expect that he would be even more ruthless than expected. He actually asked for twice the amount as soon as he opened his mouth.

If he really wanted to give him the full amount, not only would he have to borrow Lu Lang's money, but he would also lose his own small gold ingot.

Shen Yu looked at Lu Lang with a headache. Lu Lang frowned and looked over here. He probably didn't expect that in Li Changgen's mind, the little pillar had already been clearly priced.

After saying this, Mr. Tiger looked at Li Changgen, then at Zheng Sanniang, and his eyes set on Shen Yu. He immediately became very interested and looked at her with ill intent.

Shen Yu was so focused on thinking of a solution that he didn't notice the big man looking at him, but Lu Lang caught a glimpse of it.

He walked out of the crowd unhappily, walked to Shen Yu's side, and calmly turned his body to block the big man's sight.

The big man was watching intently and didn't notice someone blocking his view. He looked up at Lu Lang impatiently, but unexpectedly his expression changed immediately.

He walked over with a smile on his face, bowed to Lu Lang and said, "Mr. Lu, how are you? I am Erhu, nice to meet you."

Lu Lang turned around, not understanding how this big man recognized him.

Er Huzi smiled and said, "You may not recognize me, but I am a servant of Mr. Song. When you went to the canal with my young master, I was temporarily transferred there. I helped him move tables and chairs, and I met you."

Lu Lang thought about it and realized that it was Song Xin who hosted the party that day and he was the one who arranged all the utensils. It seemed that several burly men came to carry them.

But at that time he didn't pay any attention to whether there was this person in front of him.

At this time, he just nodded lightly: "Oh, why are you here today?"

Er Huzi nodded and bowed, "The gambling house is owned by the Song family. I usually work there. Today I came here to collect the debt."

After listening to this, Lu Lang thought for a moment, then nodded calmly and said, "Come with me."

As he said this, he took the lead and walked out of the crowd.

Erhuzi told his two men not to act rashly and followed the direction Lu Lang went.

Shen Yu heard that this man seemed to be a subordinate of Lu Lang's classmate, and he was delighted. He calmed down and waited for Lu Lang to come back.

Zheng Sanniang's face was full of despair. Forty taels of silver was really too much.

She had been hiding in Li's room for the past two days, and had listened to Yutao talk about some family matters.

I know that Shen Yu did borrow a lot of money to buy the shop, and he has no money on hand, but where can he borrow so much money at this time?

Li Changgen's father remained silent, as if he had given up on his son.

At this time, he just said: "Da Lang, Sanniang can help you pay off your gambling debts, so just agree to her. I will feel more at ease if Xiao Zhuzi follows her."

"If you can stop gambling from now on, we will find you a wife in the future."
