Chapter 110 Routine
The gambling lasted from afternoon to dusk.
Feng Chuan didn't stop until he lost 1,200 taels of silver.
It wasn't that he stopped on his own initiative, but Gu Dashu felt that it was enough and didn't want to continue betting.
Feng Chuan only had 100 taels on him, so he asked the casino owner to borrow 200 taels. He had 700 taels left, but the casino owner was unwilling to lend him the money at the instigation of Gu Jingzhe.
In Yanguan Town, this is the biggest gamble the casino has held in all these years.
Even though Feng Chuan was a VIP customer, the casino owner didn't dare to lend him money anymore.
Feng Chuan couldn't afford to pay back so much money, and Manager Feng probably found it difficult to pay so much at once.
Feng Chuan was forced to write an IOU to Gu Dashu, agreeing to pay it back in ten days. If he didn't, the interest accruing every day would be enough for him to bear.
"What about the other pair of hands?" Gu Dashu pulled out a knife, gestured twice, and asked with a smile.
Feng Chuan, who was only wearing a pair of shorts, was trembling with fear. He found that Gu Dashu was nothing like the poor little brother who followed him around and flattered him a few days ago.
Gu Dashu, holding a knife, looked like a vicious monster, and the way he looked at Feng Chuan was no different from that of a chicken waiting to be slaughtered.
"Dashu, we are brothers..." Feng Chuan said shivering.
"What kind of brothers are we?" Gu Dashu repeated Feng Chuan's original words to him.
"Can I redeem it with silver?" Feng Chuan pleaded.
"How much are you willing to pay to redeem your hand?" Gu Dashu looked at Feng Chuan with interest while playing with the knife.
Feng Chuan was so scared that he dared not speak.
He felt that it would be as easy for Gu Dashu to crush him as it would for an ant.
He didn't know what Digital Valley Dashu could say to let him go.
"I'll make it an even number for you, three hundred taels. Add the seven hundred taels you owe me, and it will be exactly one thousand taels."
Gu Dashu smiled brightly, took out the contract that had already been written in his arms, and asked Feng Chuan to press his fingerprint with his right hand.
"Return it together in ten days. Otherwise, the hand with your fingerprint will belong to me." Gu Dashu said as he stuffed the contract into his arms.
After Gu Dashu walked out of the casino, Feng Chuan sat down on the ground despite everyone's pointing and criticizing.
When he came to his senses and realized that he owed 1,220 taels of silver, he was so scared that he trembled all over.
Today's bet broke the previous record. The most he had ever owed was five hundred taels.
In order to help him fill the hole of 500 taels, his uncle, who was the owner of the Meng family's herbal medicine shop and was highly respected, stole the shop's money to help him fill the hole, and his uncle was expelled from the Meng family for this.
Now one thousand two!
He didn't dare to think about the outcome.
My uncle's monthly salary at Sushi Garden is not low, plus the dividends, he makes nearly three hundred taels of silver a year. I can afford to pay him thirty or forty taels of gambling debts, but one thousand taels is beyond my uncle's ability.
If his uncle doesn't pay it back for him, he will lose his hand.
Feng Chuan didn't know how to talk to his uncle for a moment.
"This Great Heat is so cruel..." Feng Chuan muttered to himself.
Suddenly I thought that this man named Dashu didn’t even know where the other person lived, but he still owed him one thousand and two taels of silver.
......
Gu Dashu put away his knife, and pretended to be a thief, carrying the IOU and the money he won, through a secluded alley to avoid everyone, and reunited with Gu Jingzhe.
"Oh my god, I'm so scared." Gu Dashu patted his chest.
Even though he acted as calm as the boss when he asked Feng Chuan to write the IOU, he was actually very nervous.
I will never do this kind of work of threatening to chop off someone's palm again. It makes me nervous!
"Second brother, you really have a talent for gambling. How about going in and giving it a try?" Gu Jingzhe asked with a smile.
Gu Dashu leaned against the wall and said, "You are trying to trick me. I will never dare to enter this casino again."
Feng Chuan's crazy look stimulated him.
He put himself in Feng Chuan's shoes and thought he would go crazy if he couldn't pay the money back because his hands would be chopped off.
Too scary!
He found that his mother and third brother had completely overturned his worldview. How could they be so cruel? They made a bet to cut off one of Feng Chuan's hands.
But thinking about how Manager Feng had put a knife to his neck and threatened his mother, Gu Dashu felt that Tong Huaqiong and Gu Jingzhe were merciful by not chopping off Feng Chuan's hands immediately.
"Second brother, just tell me, is gambling scary? You can only win because of Feng Chuan and my brilliant calculations. If you meet someone more powerful or Taohua Dessert sets a trap specifically for you, Feng Chuan's ending will be a sample for you." Gu Jingzhe said to Gu Dashu.
"Third brother, stop talking. It's too scary. Next time I come to town, I will have to go around the casino." Gu Dashu said.
If he was really tricked, his ending would be even worse than Feng Chuan's.
Feng Chuan has the support of Manager Feng, but he doesn't.
Tong Huaqiong would not even think about using money to redeem him, she would have to chop off his hands first.
Gu Dashu handed the IOU to Gu Jingzhe. The two brothers first went to Yanzhi Lane and found that Tong Huaqiong had already returned home. In order to report the results of the battle to Tong Huaqiong in time, the two of them got on Uncle Xu's ox cart and returned to Qinghe Bay.
"You two are really capable. You actually tricked Feng Chuan." Tong Huaqiong held the IOU and the silver in her hands, as if she had pinched the weak spot of Shopkeeper Feng. She was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
It turns out that these two bad bamboos are quite useful, and things went more smoothly than she expected.
Shopkeeper Feng, just wait until you leave Yanguan Town.
Unless you ignore Feng Chuan.
But Shopkeeper Feng couldn't just ignore Feng Chuan, especially in this era when people's fear of no one to continue the worship after death was stronger than death itself.
As Feng Chuan is the adopted son of Shopkeeper Feng, Shopkeeper Feng will definitely actively help Feng Chuan fill the gap.
Manager Feng would have to sell off the entire Sushi Garden to be able to pay off the one thousand taels of silver!
If he couldn't afford the compensation, he could only chop off one of Feng Chuan's hands, or accept Tong Huaqiong's conditions - leave Sushi Garden and leave Yanguan Town.
Tong Huaqiong doesn't think she is cruel.
Shopkeeper Feng would not let her go. What was originally a normal business war had turned into a life-and-death battle for survival. She had no choice but to take ruthless action first.
"But even though we have Feng Chuan's IOU, you two can't relax. Keep a close eye on Feng Chuan to prevent him from doing anything desperate," said Tong Huaqiong.
The two brothers Gu Dashu and Gu Jingzhe nodded repeatedly.
After tricking Feng Chuan, Tong Huaqiong was in a good mood. Every day she happily took Gu Taohua and Liu Yue'e to the town to set up a stall, and she also took time to participate in the progress of the shop's renovation.
The waiters at Su Shi Yuan saw that Tong Huaqiong was like a nail nailed to the opposite side of Su Shi Yuan, and was ready to snatch all the customers from Su Shi Yuan. They were very annoyed and went to Manager Feng for countermeasures.
Even the bosses in Pingchuan County knew that there was a peach blossom dessert in Yanguan Town that had taken away Sushiyuan's business.
Someone was also sent to ask Manager Feng to come up with a set of rules to expel Taohua Desserts.
Shopkeeper Feng was extremely annoyed. He was called over by his boss and scolded. He originally wanted to use the Zheng family to get rid of Tong Huaqiong, but before he could think of a plan, the owner of the casino came to collect the debt, saying that his adopted son Feng Chuan had lent him two hundred taels of silver.
He could still afford to pay back the two hundred taels of silver, so he held his anger and paid back the two hundred taels of silver, then called Feng Chuan into the room and scolded him.
Feng Chuan had been hiding from Shopkeeper Feng that he owed 1,000 taels of silver. He did not dare to tell Shopkeeper Feng because the amount was so huge, so he planned to find an opportunity to steal the contract and account book of Sushiyuan Shop to fill the hole himself. When Shopkeeper Feng called him over, he thought the matter was exposed, so he confessed everything about his debt to Shopkeeper Feng.
When Shopkeeper Feng heard that Feng Chuan owed one thousand two taels of silver, it was like a thunderclap above his head, and he vomited blood on the spot.
