Li Shao touched his chin and said, "So they were pretty nice to you. They didn't beat you before you ran back..."

Looking at Zhao Xiuwen at this time, he was fiddling with the corners of his clothes with his hands, his eyes flickering, and his lips moving slightly, as if he was struggling over whether to speak or not.

Seeing this, Li Shao sneered: "It seems that Third Brother is not that anxious. He is still hesitating now. In this case, I will not keep you here."

Father Zhao slammed the table in anxiety, "You beast, why don't you just tell me what you have to say!"

Mother Zhao also cried and said, "Xiu Wen! It's already this late, what are you still hiding from us?"

"You don't want your father and I to live! What sin have I committed?"

At this time, Zhao Xiuwen took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "When I realized that I owed five hundred taels, I felt that my life was over. Where can I get so much money? My father will beat me to death when I go home."

"At this time, Li Si from the gambling house came to me and said that his eldest daughter had taken a fancy to me. If I was willing to marry her, the gambling debt of 500 taels would be written off and I could live a rich life in the future."

At this point, Zhao Xiuwen couldn't help but close his eyes, his face full of sadness.

"What?!" The other four people in the room said almost in unison, and their expressions were more interesting than each other.

The development of this matter is too bizarre, just like what is written in a storybook, it is hard to believe.

Zhao's mother looked like she was crazy, "Really?! You didn't agree?!"

Seeing that Zhao Xiuwen didn't say anything, Zhao's mother stepped forward and slapped him on the back of the head, scolding: "You are out of your mind! A rich lady likes you, why don't you agree to it!"

"If we were a family, there wouldn't be any need for the five hundred taels! You had to make the debt collectors come to our house, beat us up and smashed things, and even made your father and I run to your brother's house and cry and beg for mercy. You are such an unfilial son!"

But on second thought, his son is indeed capable enough to be favored by this rich lady.

If Xiu Wen really married that rich lady, her mother would also be able to enjoy the good life.

Zhao's father thought Zhao Xiuwen's brain was damaged, but the debt collectors didn't even touch his face. "Xiuwen, don't scare dad. Why did this young lady like you?"

Hearing what his father said, Zhao Xiuwen said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, do you think I'm crazy? Is this all fantasy? It's just that his eldest daughter Ma Qiaoyun from Xingsheng Casino has taken a fancy to me."

Seeing that he was so decisive, Zhao Ye asked curiously, "Third brother, why don't you agree? Men of your age are all married, and the lady has forgiven your gambling debts, why don't you agree?"

His third brother was ambitious but had no ability to earn money. Now that a rich lady had taken a fancy to him, he did not agree immediately.

Zhao's father and mother also began to criticize Zhao Xiuwen bitterly, saying that he didn't know what was good for him, couldn't tell good from bad, and only knew how to make his parents worry...

Mother Zhao stopped crying and said to Li Shao and his wife, "Oh, Brother Ye, my dear son-in-law, if I had known this would happen, I would not have come to your house. You have disturbed the whole family. His father and I will teach Xiuwen a lesson when we go back."

Father Zhao echoed, "Yes, brother and son-in-law, don't take today's events to heart. When Xiuwen gets married, I will definitely drink a few more glasses, hahahaha."

Li Shao laughed, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law are too polite. We are one family, so why are we talking about different things?"

Seeing that they were talking as if the matter was settled, Zhao Xiuwen's face turned pale, "Dad and Mom, who said I want to marry her? I won't!"

He turned to look at Li Shao and said, "Brother-in-law, please lend me five hundred taels. I will definitely pay you back in the future."

Mother Zhao's face darkened immediately, and she scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about! We should be very grateful that the young lady likes you, and you are still standing here and not wanting to marry her."

Father Zhao also looked disgusted, "Yes, you have to know your own weight..."

Zhao Ye couldn't help but admire how quickly his parents' expressions changed.

Looking at her husband who had a strange expression on his face just now, she suddenly remembered the Xingsheng Casino in the town. Wasn't it run by Ma Hao? Then could this rich lady be Brother Hao's daughter?

Then he asked, "Sir, this rich lady is not the daughter of Brother Hao, right?"

When he asked this, Li Shao almost laughed out loud. He had actually seen Ma Qiaoyun, the eldest daughter of the Ma family.

She is not a daughter, but Ma Hao's only sister. The brother and sister lost their parents when they were young, and they depended on each other to survive in the underworld.

She is a cheerful and generous person. As for her appearance, she has eyes like copper bells, dark skin, and a strong back. She looks very much like her brother.

His skills are also very good. It is no exaggeration to say that for a man like Zhao Xiuwen, it is easy for him to beat five people at once.

But how did she get to know Zhao Xiuwen and why did she fall in love with him?

Recalling Ma Hao's ambiguous words before, Li Shao guessed that Ma Qiaoyun must have already fallen in love with Zhao Xiuwen at that time. Ma Hao loved this sister the most, so naturally he had investigated his background thoroughly.

Li Shao smiled and said to Zhao Ye: "She is Brother Hao's sister. He loves her the most. Qiao Yun is a cheerful person. You should be able to get along with her."

He was not talking nonsense. Ma Qiaoyun's temperament was more generous than some men, and Ye Ge'er's temperament was also so good. The two of them would definitely get along well.

Looking at Zhao Xiuwen again, although he was just a pretty boy in Li Shao's eyes, but if you look closely, you can see that his facial features are quite good.

He looks like a typical scholar, with fair skin and a gentle manner. Although he is a fool inside, he still looks intimidating.

He is the type that many girls and boys like nowadays. No one in the village had married him before because the elders in the village looked down on his fancy. But in fact, girls and boys were willing to marry him because of his face.

Hearing Li Shao say that he knew this rich lady and her brother, Zhao's mother became excited, "Brother, son-in-law, please tell me, is the Ma family very rich?"

Li Shao smiled and said, "Of course. Ma Hao is a well-known figure in the town. He has more than just this gambling house. He is a truly wealthy man."

"He raised his sister since she was a child and he loves her very much. But she is not young anymore. She seems to be 25 this year."

The richer the Ma family is, the happier Mother Zhao is! She slapped her thigh fiercely, laughing so hard that she couldn't close her mouth, "That means he is six years older than our Xiu Wen. Great, great, a girl three years older than her husband is a gold brick! Our Xiu Wen has two gold bricks, old man, don't you think so!"

Father Zhao also smiled and nodded and said yes.

Seeing that they were so proud, Li Shao poured cold water on them, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, I'm not trying to stop you from being happy. The Ma family is a well-known family in town, and Brother Hao is a person who cares about his reputation."

"The young lady took the initiative to show her kindness, but the third brother didn't appreciate it and even stepped on her face like this. Do you think the siblings are now eager to chop him into pieces?"

"Ah?!" After hearing what he said, the blood in Zhao's father and mother's blood immediately cooled down. "Brother, son-in-law, what do you say we should do? This Boss Ma is not going to do anything to Xiuwen if his sister falls in love with him! Isn't he afraid that his sister will be distressed?"

Li Shao shook his head and said, "Today, those gambling guys beat him up. This was to vent his anger on his lady, but they didn't really chop off his hands, which shows that they still have some feelings for him. But I'm afraid that the more I think about it, the angrier I will get. I'll chop him off and find a better one for my sister."

Father Zhao said quickly, "Brother, son-in-law, what do you think we should do? How about his mother and I take him to apologize to Boss Ma and the young lady? And brother, son-in-law, you have a lot of connections and you know Boss Ma, so you should say a few good words for him."

"Yes, yes, brother-in-law, Xiuwen is ignorant. His father and I will make him apologize to Boss Ma and the young lady."

Zhao Xiuwen kept yelling that he didn't want to marry Ma Qiaoyun, but was ignored by everyone.
