Lu Laosan, with a bruised nose and swollen face, was kneeling in the courtyard with one arm hanging down.

The old lady closed her eyes and sat in a small hall that was obviously much empty. Lu Xiao walked up and down in front of her. After a while, he laughed angrily.

Pointing to the empty place that was supposed to be the literati's calligraphy, he asked: "Mom! You actually stole your wife's dowry and sold it for the sake of your third child?"

He seemed to be so angry that he was incoherent, "If people outside know this, how should the Hou Mansion treat me?"

Jiang Keyuan stood aside silently. She grew up in the capital and had also seen mother-in-law coveting her daughter-in-law's dowry and using various means to seize it.

But she had never seen a mother-in-law steal it blatantly and hang up dozens of calligraphy and paintings on the street. She laughed angrily.

The old lady felt a little guilty and insisted: "Isn't it just a broken painting? It's so obvious that you are arguing with your mother, so it will be nice if it is spread out?"

Lu Xiao's footsteps froze and he felt incredible: "Go out and ask, whose mother-in-law tampered with her daughter-in-law's dowry without being stabbed in the spine?"

"Mom! You are confused!"

The old lady rolled her eyes: "That sounds nice. Didn't you spend Ming Niang's dowry very easily?"

Ming Qingran, Lu Xiao's original wife, was called Ming Niang in the village.

When her father opened a martial arts gym in the county town, he made a lot of money. When she got married, the dowry... tsk tsk, the whole village was envious of her.

After marriage, she also tried to get involved, but unfortunately the boss took them all to the border, leaving her no hair.

Lu Xiao's face turned ugly when the old lady told him the past events that he least wanted to mention.

Angry and angry, he growled: "You didn't force me!"

"There are continuous wars on the border, and the court is imposing labor servitude. You are unwilling to fine me money and are unwilling to let go of your two younger brothers. You pushed me out in private. What else can I do if I don't take Qingran's dowry?"

The old lady didn't expect his reaction to be so big, and she looked innocent:

"That's right! As the eldest brother, the third brother owes money and you don't help. What else can my old lady do if she doesn't make up for it with her daughter-in-law's dowry?"

"You..." Lu Xiao's breathing was rapid, and he was blocked by his mother and couldn't say a word.

The old lady finally said: "It's all because of you!"

Lu Xiao really wanted to vomit blood, "Okay, okay!" He said "ok" three times in a row and ordered the guards to move away all the valuable things in the courtyard.

He turned and left without saying a word.

Let's see how long her mother can last without these!

"..."

After the incident, Lu Laosan did live in peace for a while. The old lady locked herself in the house and occasionally went out to relax, with a group of people watching her.

I thought my son had changed.

As a result, something happened again.

The old lady couldn't afford a single coin and fell ill in bed. Lu Mingjun stood by the bed and pursed his lips, "Hey! If it doesn't work, please ask your uncle for help!"

His father didn't know if he was obsessed with gambling, but he gambled more and more as if he had lost his mind.

This time, no one could match the amount except his uncle.

"Miscellaneous! My father was detained in a gambling house this time, and he was told... that he would not be released unless he paid back the money."

The old lady understood that saving the third child was only a matter of words from the boss, but her big boy was waiting for her to ask for help.

She had no idea what the idea was.

She was caught in a dilemma. She was unwilling to return to her hometown in despair after only two days of good times.

But he couldn't let his youngest son be detained and tortured all the time.

She let out a long sigh: "That's it! Ask your uncle for more money, let's go back..." Before she could finish the word "village", Lu Yinhua came in with a happy face:

"Milk! Good thing! Great thing!"

The old lady glanced sideways and said angrily: "Your third uncle is still being arrested, where is the good thing coming from?"

Lu Yinhua didn't hear it clearly at all. A piece of letter paper hit her face: "Luo Xi...it's Luo Xi's letter."

"Really?" The old lady's eyes lit up when she heard this. She wrote to Luo Xi half a month ago, asking if there was any way to quit gambling.

After waiting for half a month, she finally received a reply. She sat up in shock as she was dying of illness: "Open it quickly...Open it quickly and read it to me."

The uncle was a marquis of the current dynasty, and the two daughters of the Lu family were naturally literate. Lu Yinhua opened the letter and read ten lines at a glance.

The face first showed anger, then became weird... and finally the expression was hard to describe.

The old lady beside her was extremely anxious, "What did you write, you just read it!"

"Luo Xi said that the reason why the third uncle got involved in the gambling house was probably because he was lured by someone."

"How is this seduction?" The old lady didn't understand. She wasn't a brothel girl, so she could seduce a man who couldn't move after taking off her clothes.

If he is unwilling to gamble, how can others force him to put a knife to his neck?

Lu Yinhua shook her head, "Luo Xi said that gamblers will have great ups and downs between losing and winning. They secrete some amines, which is something that makes people happy."

Then he added, "It's the same as Five Stone Powder."

The old lady didn't understand it before, but when she heard about Wushi Powder, she understood that it was an addictive thing.

Once you are infected, you can't quit. You can get up without a headache or pain in your waist, and your whole body feels full of energy.

"Needless to say, it must be the second-hand worn-out shoes."

She just didn't understand that something like gambling could be brought up, otherwise she would have suspected Jiang Keyuan.

"What else did the letter say?" She climbed out of bed, and Damajindao sat on the chair and waited for the next sentence.

"Luo Xi also said that they have probably figured out how to deal with the methods they taught you before, and they have also taught you new ones."

Indeed, this time, she was controlled by the boss, and she didn't even dare to go out and make trouble, as if he had specially thought out a trick to deal with her.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Finally, she asked, "Does the letter say anything about how to quit gambling?"

Lu Yinhua nodded repeatedly: "Luo Xi said, let the uncle find a job for the third uncle to consume his energy. If he has something he likes more, he will naturally stop gambling."

After listening to Luo Xi's new tricks, despite the old lady's shamelessness... she fell into silence.

She hesitated and asked, "Is this really possible?"

Lu Yinhua, who had seen the prosperity of the capital city, did not want to go back to the village. Hearing this, she nodded solemnly: "Try it! If you don't break it, you won't build it."

The old lady gathered her children and grandchildren together, drove all the servants out, and conspired behind closed doors.

Finally decided to take action tomorrow morning and be done with it.

When Lu Xiao received the news, he just thought that his mother was trying to save the third child and did not go into details.

Also receiving the news was Jiang Keyuan. She was having her maid apply koudan on her hands. When she heard this, she raised her eyelids:

"Keep an eye on the person and don't touch the property in the house."

Ah! Can this old guy with no skills make a difference?

Thinking about sending the person away, Jiang Keyuan had a peaceful sleep.

The next day, before dawn, she woke up early to send her husband to court, and drank a bowl of beauty porridge in a good mood.

Guessing that it was time for Lu Xiao to go to court, she was about to go outside the house to greet... The informants who stayed with the best people crawled and rolled into the hospital:

"No... no, madam, your mother-in-law has brought people to the prime minister's house to make trouble."

"What?" When the bad news came suddenly, Jiang Keyuan felt dizzy, and the mung bean soup in her hand, which was used to relieve her husband's heat, fell to the ground with a clang.

He grabbed the boy by the collar and said in a trembling voice: "Where have they gone? Tell me again!"
