However, today Chen Jiu was following soone’s instructions to get Zhang Laojiu’s daughter, so he couldn’t make trouble over another woman. Therefore, he quickly averted his gaze.
He did not know that his IOU had been altered by ngyu.
He turned his head, smiling amiably at Zhang Laojiu, “Ninth, you’re not being fair, are you? Why didn’t you invite to drink your daughter’s top-scorer wine? We’re good brothers, after all.”
Seeing Chen Jiu, Zhang Laojiu was even more terrified than when he saw Old Man Wai.
Zhang Laojiu would never forget the incident from three days ago.
Three days earlier, he had been dragged by Old Man Wai to “see the world” on a bed at a reservoir. He said he had no money, and Old Man Wai generously lent him two hundred yuan, then took him onto a boat.
The boat at the reservoir was actually a floating gambling den. He quickly gambled away all two hundred yuan.
He wanted to leave, but Old Man Wai grabbed him and wouldn’t let him: “It’s a rare visit, don’t go. I know a place where you can borrow money. We can go borrow so to play, and once we recoup our losses, we can pay it back.”
Zhang Laojiu had already borrowed two hundred yuan from Old Man Wai and was wondering how he could repay him. Hearing that there was a place to borrow money, he followed Old Man Wai there.
Sure enough, there was a place to borrow money there.
But to borrow money, you had to have collateral. Ninth had nothing of value, so what could he use as collateral?
He wanted to leave again, but Old Man Wai pulled him back: “Are you dumb? Your daughter is about to beco a university student, her worth increases a hundredfold. Just use your daughter as collateral and you’ll definitely be able to borrow money.”
Elder Zhang felt this was wrong: “How can I use my daughter as collateral? If I lose, wouldn’t I be losing my daughter too? No, no, let’s just leave.”
Seeing that he really wanted to leave, Old Man Wai suddenly turned hostile, took off his crooked hat, and slamd it on the table: “You can leave, but pay back the two hundred yuan first.”
Where did Ninth get the money to pay him back?
“I’ll get the money from my wife when I go back and pay you!”
But Old Man Wai wouldn’t agree: “I rarely co here, how can I leave without satisfying my urge? What use is your money to tomorrow? I need money today, I want to place bets, I want to win it back!”
Zhang Laojiu was forced by Old Man Wai and had no choice but to write an IOU to borrow money. When it ca to how much money to write, the lender said: “Leave this space empty for now, we’ll write ‘over five hundred yuan’ on the blackboard first. When we borrow again, we’ll add it on top, and when we decide not to borrow anymore, we’ll add up the numbers on the blackboard and fill in the final amount here. Don’t worry, this number will be left for you to fill in yourself. Others’ writings won’t count.”
Zhang Laojiu looked at Old Man Wai.
Old Man Wai hastily nodded: “Those are the rules. Look at that blackboard outside, the numbers behind those nas are how much they borrowed. Just register every loan on the blackboard and it’s all good. Everyone is treated the sa, no one will cheat you alone.”
Zhang Laojiu saw that it was indeed the sa for everyone, so he felt relieved, signed the blank IOU, stamped it, and took five hundred yuan to gamble.
This ti it seed his luck had improved; he took that five hundred yuan and actually won over two thousand yuan.
He wanted to go and repay the money he owed first.
But Old Man Wai grabbed him: “Why repay it now, there’s still plenty of ti. Why not take advantage of your good luck and win more while you can? A man can only stand tall when he has money in his pocket, brother.”
Just like that, Ninth started gambling again, but this ti his luck was not so good, and he quickly lost all two thousand yuan clean.
