Chapter 10: Shame and Shame (10)
Wu Lei has some silver taels in his hand, after all, he is a man, and sometimes he still has to spend some silver when he goes out, and he is a literati. At this point, Jiang Xiaoling still has to give him face.
After being pulled in, Wu Lei naturally had itchy hands and began to gamble.
After a while, he actually won a lot of silver.
But the one who pulled him in lost a lot.
The man had no money, so he stopped gambling.
Wu Lei had the silver in his hand, and he was in a better mood, but he was still thinking about his family, so he didn't gamble anymore, and took the man to have a few drinks.
Back home, drunk.
Jiang Xiaoling was very annoyed.
Who knew that Wu Lei directly gave her thirty taels of silver and fell asleep.
Jiang Xiaoling was stunned for a moment, and then checked Wu Lei's sachet, which was still sewn by her.
When I looked, there were still seven or eight taels of silver in it.
I only went out for a while, and I was still drunk, why did I have so much more silver?
Could it be that you have found something to live?
Jiang Xiaoling was puzzled, but she still helped take off Wu Lei's shoes and socks, wiped his face for him, and let him sleep more comfortably.
At dawn, Wu Lei woke up, Jiang Xiaoling asked Wu Lei, Wu Lei said that he met an acquaintance and helped the other party, so he got the silver, and said that he would go to find a job.
Jiang Xiaoling didn't ask again, but when Wu Lei went out again, Jiang Xiaoling went out with him.
She saw that Wu Lei really went to some stores to ask the shopkeeper if he hired someone.
With a sigh, she turned and went home.
She didn't know that Wu Lei had been looking for a long time, but he didn't find a job, and when he was about to go home, he passed by the gambling house again, and looking at the gambling house, he couldn't help but walk in again.
Ten bets and nine losses, people, when they win, they are happy for a while, and when they lose, they feel that it is impossible and want to return to their roots.
Wu Lei didn't dare to tell Jiang Xiaoling, and borrowed money from the gambling house.
After that, it was a little out of control.
It wasn't until the people from the gambling house came to the door that Jiang Xiaoling knew what Wu Lei had done.
Jiang Xiaoling only felt that her heart was cold.
It's just that the gambling house at this time is very tough.
If you don't pay back the money, it is possible to take Jiang Xiaoling away and sell her into Goolan Courtyard at that time.
The teaching workshop is not the same as the Goolan Academy.
Jiang Xiaoling was half dead in anger, crying, and went to find Wu Lei's friend.
Wu Lei's friend has a good family background, but he was shocked when he heard that his friend actually owed 300 taels of silver to the gambling house.
Obviously it was fine before, why did it become like this all of a sudden?
Wu Lei looked depressed and told the matter as it was.
His friend was also angry and scolded him fiercely.
"You said you, why are you so unlucky, you said to study hard, I will help you, it's just a failure, you can't hold on, there is no money at home, no income, you tell me, the result, you are good, you can't control yourself."
"Now that you're going to take your wife to pay off your debts, are you happy that your family is ruined? Three hundred taels of silver, not three taels of silver, even I can't take out that much. ”
Even so, his friend still scraped together some silver for him, after all, he himself wanted to live, and he made up more than ninety taels of silver.
However, there are still more than two hundred taels left.
You must know that the gambling house has given a deadline.
Wu Lei and Jiang Xiaoling went home a little depressed.
There are seven days left in the deadline given by the casino.
The small home that used to be warm is cold at this time.
The two sat separately and said nothing.
Jiang Xiaoling sat and cried, she couldn't understand why she became what she is today.
Wu Lei also frowned, and his heart was also very entangled.
After a long time, Jiang Xiaoling suddenly stopped crying and stood up.
She cleaned herself up, put on her best clothes, and carefully powdered them.
Wu Lei saw her dressed up like this, and it looked like she was going out, so he hurriedly asked, "Xiaoling, where are you going?" ”
Jiang Xiaoling looked at Wu Lei and sneered: "Are you sitting here, waiting to be sold?" I'm going to find a way to save myself, Wu Lei, I'll tell you, this time is the last time, if you still gamble, then we'll leave. ”
Wu Lei hurriedly said: "No, I won't gamble anymore." ”
Jiang Xiaoling had no choice, she was going to find Li Shuning.
She wore a veil and went to the back of the workshop.
After waiting for a long time, she finally stopped someone, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Li Shuning came down.
Seeing Jiang Xiaoling, she was stunned.
"Xiaoling, why are you here? Did something happen? ”
Jiang Xiaoling suddenly hugged Li Shuning and cried bitterly.
Li Shuning saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Don't cry, let's go in and talk about it, right?" ”
Jiang Xiaoling naturally agreed.
took Jiang Xiaoling to his room, and Li Shuning asked a little solemnly, "What's wrong?" Is Wu Lei bad for you? ”
Jiang Xiaoling shook her head: "Shu Ning, he treated me very well, but he was recently taken into the fire pit, and someone lured him to the gambling house, woo, Shu Ning, what kind of place do you say, he was deceived into borrowing money from the gambling house, and now he owes the gambling house three hundred taels of silver." ”
"Shu Ning, what do you say I should do? The money in my hand was lost to you for helping me clean it up and bring it over, but during this time, I have to live with him, he has to study, and there is no income at home, so the money is almost spent. ”
Li Shuning hurriedly stood up, went to the dresser to look for it, and finally found a hairpin, as well as a few pieces of loose silver, and handed it to Jiang Xiaoling.
"Xiaoling, I'm sorry, I don't have anything, I only have these here, and I may not be able to help you."
Jiang Xiaoling's eyes widened, the hairpin looked good, but even if it did, it was estimated that it would be able to sell for a few taels of silver, right?
How could she just be so penny?
Jiang Xiaoling pretended to be sad, clutched her chest and said, "Shu Ning, you 。。。。。。 If you don't want to help me, I have nothing to say, after all, we are friends, you have no obligation to help me, but you don't need to be so cold to me. ”
Jiang Xiaoling cried even louder.
Li Shuning was also speechless, this woman is really shameless.
At this time, the maid who originally served them tea walked in, and Xiao Tao put the tea heavily in front of Jiang Xiaoling in a huff.
"Miss Jiang, you are really amazing, although my young lady is in the workshop, but she has never received guests, how can you be like you before, there is a reward for receiving customers, and even Master Wu gives you silver, in order to let you be with your sweetheart, Miss paid a lot of money, and gave away the treasures in her house, all the things hidden before, otherwise why do you think the workshop let you go?"
That's right, Li Shuning specially went out for a spin before, and he still took the maid with him, and he sent things out, and he also took the maid, so Xiao Tao is really clear.
