But how could Chen Baobao leave so easily?

Seeing that his boss kept urging him to leave, he was even more certain that his boss would never see him make a comeback.

Chen Baobao could not help but get angry: "How can you do business like this? I'm lucky today, I'm sure I can make a profit, get out of here, even if the king of heaven comes today, I won't leave!"

Having said that, he turned around and continued gambling.

The boss' kindness was taken as an insult. Seeing many customers in the casino looking at him with suspicious eyes, the boss almost vomited blood in anger.

It's rare that I want to be a good person, but I didn't expect to be bitten by Chen Baobao, who doesn't appreciate good people's kindness.

Chen Baobao's luck went downhill after that.

In a short while, he lost all his capital.

Looking at the silver on the dealer's side, Chen Baobao was full of dissatisfaction. He wanted to give it another gamble, but none of the gamblers around him were willing to lend him money.

Chen Baobao still didn't give up and went to his boss to borrow money.

The boss glared at him angrily and said, "You still want to borrow money to gamble? The money I have here is not that easy to borrow. The interest rate for one tael of silver is ten cents!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Baobao was also shocked by the high interest rate: "Isn't this interest rate too high?"

Even if he was stupid, he knew how scary a 10% interest rate was.

Chen Baobao was scared away.

He immediately walked out of the casino. The boss breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, but he didn't expect that a short while later, he saw Chen Baobao again in the casino.

"Why is that guy back again? Where did he get the money?" the boss wondered in his heart.

But a gambler passed by him and advised him with a smile: "Boss, this is your fault. You should welcome people to come to the casino to play. Why do you always persuade them to leave?"

The boss thought that this was indeed the truth. If no one came to the casino, how would he support his brothers?

Chen Baobao took the one hundred taels of silver he had just borrowed and continued gambling.

The one hundred taels of silver were all lost in less than a quarter of an hour.

He didn't believe it and went to the back alley to borrow 100 taels from someone...

After losing all his money again, Chen Baobao was asked to leave by the casino thugs: "Come back when you have money!"

Chen Baobao walked home dejectedly. Whenever he thought of the thousands of taels he won yesterday, he felt a little regretful.

After returning home, Chen Baobao went to ask the second wife for money again.

The second lady was somewhat displeased when she saw this.

Although her dowry was returned by the Feng family, most of it had been spent over the years.

In the future she will have to rely on her dowry to make a living, so how can she withstand Chen Baobao asking for it every few days?

However, considering that she would need Chen Baobao to take care of her in her old age and till the end of her life, the second wife still took out some silver coins.

"Baobao, you should be frugal with this money! You are not a child anymore, it is time to find a legitimate way to make a living..."

But before she could finish her words, Chen Baobao ran away with the silver.

He felt that the Second Madam was too nagging: "She only gave me two taels of silver and she dared to lecture me! She didn't even think about the fact that now all the food and accommodation are provided by the Chen family. How dare a married daughter put on airs in front of me!"

Chen Baobao turned around and found Old Lady Chen, and exaggerated the complaint against the Second Lady.

That night, the second wife was so hungry that no one called her to eat, so she went over by herself.

But when we got there, we found that the Chen family had already finished eating, and there was only a bowl of vegetable soup with a few leaves floating in it on the table.

The second wife was unhappy, and pointed at the soup and asked her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, why didn't you call me when you were eating? I'm hungry now, go get me something to eat."

Seeing that she ordered her to prepare the meal, Chen Huang was not happy: "Sister-in-law, where did you come from? Do you need to be treated to a meal? You think you are still in the Feng family and the second wife of Feng!"

"If you want someone to serve you, go back to the Feng family! Why are you crowding in this small courtyard with us?"

In the past, when the second wife came back, she could give money, but now she comes back and all the food and drink are provided by them.

As a result, when her son asked her for some silver, the second wife started lecturing him endlessly. Naturally, Mrs. Chen Huang was very annoyed when she heard her son's complaints.

She deliberately didn't invite the second wife to dinner.

If it were before, Chen Huang would naturally not dare to do so, but now, since the second wife was divorced, she has not given out a penny.

Mrs. Chen Huang had been unhappy for a long time.

Even with the old lady's pressure, Chen Huangshi had long disliked her divorced sister-in-law. Now she heard her son complaining about the second lady lecturing him, so naturally she would not be nice to the second lady.

Since she got married, the Second Lady had never suffered such humiliation. Even in the Feng family, from the old lady to the servants, no one dared to disrespect her.

But what he never expected was that after only a few days of returning, Mrs. Chen Huang already disliked him.

Thinking about the money I give to my sister-in-law every month to support her family's expenses, she and her family must be extremely grateful to me.

This is also the reason why the second wife would rather be divorced and sent back to her parents' home than stay in the Feng family.

But reality slapped her in the face.

But the Second Madam was not one to take a loss, she retorted on the spot: "Sister-in-law, you have to be conscientious! Who has paid for all your expenses since you came to Yangzhou? Even the courtyard you live in now was bought by me with real money. What, are you going to burn your bridges now?"

When Chen Huangshi heard this, she was about to argue with the Second Madam, but then Old Madam Chen came out and glared at her fiercely.

Chen Huang was most afraid of her mother-in-law, so she immediately stood there with her head shrunk.

Old Madam Chen hurriedly comforted the Second Madam: "Don't bother with her! She is just a shallow-minded person! Come, let's have a private talk."

So Old Madam Chen brought the Second Madam into the house.

Mrs. Chen Huang curled her lips, pouted towards the main house, and then looked at her precious son.

"Son, is the Miss Xie you mentioned last time really willing to marry here?"

When Chen Baobao heard this, he knew that the matter was long over, but his mother still brought it up from time to time.

When he thought of Xie Liuzheng, Chen Baobao felt a dull pain in his lower body. He couldn't help but curse inwardly: "That little bitch was so cruel!"

"Son, did that thing succeed? I was dreaming of living in a big house and having servants to serve me!" Mrs. Chen Huang's eyes showed greed.

She never thought about how a wealthy lady like Xie Liuzheng could be interested in her son.

Seeing that Chen Huangshi was talking about things that were not related to the topic, Chen Baobao immediately frowned and scolded his mother.

"Mom, it's not time yet, please stop bothering me. Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry, go get me something to eat!"

After gambling for a whole day and night, Chen Baobao did not eat anything and went to sleep as soon as he came back.

He had just fallen asleep for a short while when his mother came to ask him all kinds of questions, which made him very annoyed.

But Chen Baobao then revealed a lewd smile: "Mom, you reminded me where to get the money!"
