Chapter 323
She held Tangyuaner and talked to the guests for a while. Before the sky was getting dark, Mangye put in a basin of hot water to bathe Tangyuan in the room. As soon as she took off Tangyuaner's clothes, Zheng Lin came back.
Sang Ye looked at her and was about to ask about Zheng Shuiqing, but his eyes were suddenly attracted by Zheng Lin's hand: "What's going on with your hand? Have you done it?" As he asked, he walked up to hold up the man's hand, and saw a small hole in the back of his hand, which seemed to be cut open by something sharp.
Zheng Lin didn't feel the pain. He glanced at him casually and said indifferently: "I beat someone up, maybe I accidentally got somewhere, it's okay!"
Seeing that the bloodstains of the wound were already frozen and not a big wound, Mang Ye didn't take it seriously and continued to ask: "Why did he come here this time? Could it be that he was in trouble again?"
Zheng Lin frowned slightly and told him what Zheng Shuiqing had messed with.
It turned out that Meng's man who was asking for debt was defeated. Zheng Shuiqing was unwilling to try another one and wanted to pay for the money, so he borrowed ten taels of silver from the gambling house. Unexpectedly, he lost several consecutive games and ten taels of silver and turned into five taels of silver.
Zheng Shuiqing felt that he was not lucky, so he temporarily stopped and left the gambling house with five taels of silver. By chance, he learned to draw fraud from a one-armed old beggar.
He thought he was proficient in the art of cheating and would win a lot of money in the gambling house. Yesterday, Zheng Shuqing used the remaining five taels of silver as a book to enter the gambling house again. But what he didn't expect was that the people in the gambling house were seen through as soon as he made a move.
It was a violation of the rules of the gambling house, which made the gambling house appear, so Zheng Shuiqing naturally couldn't get it. The gambling house wanted to leave Zheng Shuiqing with one arm to kill a warning to him. Zheng Shuiqing was greedy for life and feared death and wanted to use silver to redeem it.
When the gambling house opened the door to do business, he naturally didn't want to let go of it. So he agreed to Zheng Shuiqing's begging, and he only had 200 taels of silver, which did not include the capital and interest of the ten taels of silver that Zheng Shuiqing had borrowed before. In addition, Zheng Shuiqing had to kneel at the entrance of the gambling house for three days, otherwise his arms would have to be left behind.
Zheng Shuiqing was poor and could not take out the money to redeem his two arms. Seeing that the time given by the gambling house was about to come, he had to use the same trick to find the help of old man Zheng Meng, and even asked a group of friends to prepare to use a trick to make a trick. As a result, he met Sang Ye and Zheng Lin and his wife.
Hearing this, Sang Ye blushed with anger: "What do you do with this kind of person? You should ask the people in the gambling house to teach him a lesson to see what else he uses to bet."
Seeing his wife being so angry, Zheng Lin was not so angry. He put his shoulder on her and comforted her: "I really let him get his arm cut off by the people in the gambling house. At that time, he will run back and stay at our house. This time, he will help him for the last time and teach him that he will never dare to step into Taoyuan Town again."
People in the world sympathize with the weak. Although Zheng Shuiqing has a reputation of being unfilial and unkind in the village, once his arms are detained, he will ignore it if he is able to support him. Over time, there will inevitably be gossip in the village, even if his parents can't stand it, and come to beg the couple to take Zheng Shuiqing in.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to think of a perfect way to completely isolate Zheng Shuiqing from Taoyuan Town, solve all the problems at once, and prevent Zheng Shuiqing from having the chance to come back and disturb their family's life.
Besides, Zheng Shuiqing is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If he doesn't completely solve him or is held a grudge by him, it is hard to guarantee that he will become the second Niu family, thinking about murdering their family all day long.
Upon hearing this, Sang Ye calmed down and looked at Zheng Lin and asked, "How do you want to help him? Can he never step into Taoyuan Town again?"
Zheng Lin smiled, but did not say explicitly: "I will go to the town for my husband tomorrow. I will tell you when the matter is resolved."
Being irritated is by no means a pleasant thing. Sang Ye gave Zheng Lin a blank look and stabbed the person with his elbow: "If you don't say it, just go there. Don't stand here and delay me taking a bath for Tangyuaner!"
"Uh, madam, are you going to murder your husband?" Zheng Lin covered her stomach in pain, and his eyes looked at Sang Ye became particularly painful.
Sang Ye was speechless and found it funny again, so he pushed him: "Stop pretending, if you have time to play tricks, why not help me take a bath for Tangyuaner."
Zheng Lin would naturally not refuse when he bathed his daughter with his wife. He responded excitedly, and saw that the hot water was a little cold, so he ran to the kitchen to get the hot water.
The next day, Zheng Lin took Zheng Shuiqing, who had a bruised nose and a swollen face to the gambling house in Taoyuan Town. I don’t know how he negotiated with the people in the gambling house, so he solved everything without spending a penny, but Zheng Shuiqing was ugly.
Zheng Lin didn't care about Zheng Shuiqing's face at all. Looking at this brother who was unrepentant and was only in blood, he said coldly: "For the sake of his parents, this is the last time I will help you. No one will help you again in the future. You, please do your own thing!"
After saying that, he walked towards the direction outside the town without looking back at Zheng Shuiqing.
This time, Zheng Shuiqing's face finally changed. He subconsciously reached out to hold something, but only a hot breeze blew by his fingertips, but he could not warm his cold hands.
