why do you like me

035 Past ③

Jiang Guodong lost everything, and he was still a little dazed when he got off the gambling table.Xi Yun called him to him and said, "Leave your son with me, and I'll lend you one hundred thousand."

Jiang Chuan: "My son... still has to go to school."

Xi Yun smiled: "No delay. There is no interest on the [-], you can pay it back anytime."

Jiang Guodong is not afraid of Jin Min, but he is a little afraid of Jiang Li.If Jiang Chuan is lost again, Jiang Li probably can chop him up in the street.He said: "Chuanzi's mother checks Chuanzi's homework every day."

Xi Yun glanced at him: "You tell your wife to enroll your son in a cram school, and it's fine for someone to send him back at night."

At that time, Jiang Chuan was six years old and was in the first grade of elementary school in the second half of the year.For the 10 yuan, Jiang Guodong lied to Jin Min that he sent Jiang Chuan to learn English.

Jiang Chuan was thrown to Xi Yun that day, Jiang Guodong didn't follow him, but he didn't go back either, he found an excuse to hide it from Jin Min on the phone.

Jiang Chuan didn't know about the 10 yuan, and he was still defending Jiang Guodong.After the game is over, Xi Yun usually doesn't stay in Z City, but this time he wants to take Jiang Chuan to Nan Xiangjun's house.Jiang Chuan was swearing at him all the way: "You cheated on my father, I'll kill you every day!"

When Nan Xiangjun was driving, Xi Yun slapped Jiang Chuan directly, and said coldly, "If you say another word, who will die every day, I will throw you into the latrine."

Xiao Jiangchuan's tears flowed out, and he huddled pitifully in the back seat of the car.When they got home, Nan Xiangjun opened the door and said "hey": "Little brat fell asleep!"

He made dinner for Xi Yun and Nan Xichi, and Jiang Chuan continued to sleep soundly on the sofa.Nanxi Pool was left unattended, and had been playing after school, and now it was time to catch up with homework.Xi Yun was bored by himself, so he woke up Jiang Chuan directly.

He rubbed Jiang Chuan's cheek and said, "Honey, let's play cards, and if you win, I'll buy you chicken legs."

Jiang Chuan pouted: "I won't bully my father after I win you."

Xi Yun looked down at him, smiled, took out a deck of cards from his pocket, and said in a calm voice, "We'll talk about terms when you can beat me."

Jiang Chuan didn't know how much money Xi Yun had.During the years when he played cards with Xi Yun, Jiang Guodong got far more than [-] from Xi Yun.Jiang Chuan has never figured out this muddled account.When he was just sensible, he felt that Xi Yun was an idiot who lent money to a scum like Jiang Guodong who had no ability to repay.Later, his understanding of people was no longer just good or bad, and he understood why Xi Yun didn't care about money so much.

Xi Yun only likes to play cards.

He carries a deck of cards with him. The back has a simple but chic pattern, which is hand-made.Ordinary playing cards are extraordinarily smooth to the touch, but his pair is not.Looking carefully from the side against the light, you can see a layer of soft fleece.Such an old card, but there is no damage to the corners.

It seemed to be a treasure, but I didn't see how precious Xi Yun was.Outside of sleep, he spent most of his time playing cards, either at the table or by himself.

Jiang Chuan, who is six years old, has just smoothed out the numbers within one hundred. Following Xi Yun, he has been exposed to many tricks that are only played at the gambling table without knowing it.He could see through Xi Yun's tricks when dealing the cards, and he could calculate the size of the cards with his fingers.

After following Xi Yun for a long time, Jiang Chuan felt that it was quite boring when he looked back at Dou Di Zhu, winning three cards and so on.Once the cards are in hand, he can know the probability of winning this round, and after a round, it is clear who has the greater chance of winning.That's another story.When Jiang Chuan was six years old, he was just a toy for Xi Yun when he was playing cards.

Xi Yun is not a local, nor will he have any personal contact with any gamblers. The "principal" has a special person in charge of the opening, he just needs to pass the time according to the day.Before the start, even Nan Xiangjun didn't have many chances to see him.

Picking up such an interesting toy as Jiang Chuan, Xi Yun stayed in Z City.Nan Xiangjun didn't say anything on the surface, but he cooperated with Jiang Guodong's lies and rented a room in the town of Xitangkou, next door was a cram school.When Jin Min came over, Jiang Chuan was obediently writing in the cram school, next to a depressed Nan Xichi.

Nan Xichi didn't study at Xitangkou's school, and Nan Xiangjun made such a fuss that he had to change buses to Xitangkou every day after school.Although he didn't like it, he didn't dare to protest. Slowly, he often skipped classes. Anyway, Xitangkou was much more interesting than the neighborhood near his home.Jiang Chuan followed suit, and often slipped out of school, following Nan Xichi all over the world.

You can get money from Xi Yun. Jiang Guodong still has the image of a rich man outside, but he has become more and more messy, and he is not only addicted to gambling.However, Jin Min is not good at thinking of anyone on the bad side, and from the beginning to the end, he feels that Jiang Chuan is really in a cram school.

The beginning of all the changes was when Jin Min found out that she was unexpectedly pregnant.

At that time, the one-child policy was still in place, and Jin Min worked in a public institution, so she had only two choices when she became pregnant with a second child, either losing her salary or having an abortion.

Everyone around her advised her to get rid of the child, but Jin Min was still hesitant.She went to the cram school to pick Jiang Chuan home, and on the way she couldn't help asking, "Chuan Zi, do you want a brother or sister?"

Xi Yun, Nan Xiangjun, and even Nan Xichi called "little boy" and "little boy" all day long, but Jiang Chuan was already impatient, and said, "I want to, I want a younger brother to be my younger brother!"

Jin Min couldn't help laughing: "If it's my sister, do you want more?"

"Also, I will play with my sister and teach her how to play poker, it's so cool!" Jiang Chuan was full of nonsense, completely forgetting Xi Yun's advice.

Jin Min couldn't think of any other place to go, only Jiang Guodong took Jiang Chuan to the chess and card room.She frowned slightly, dissatisfied with Jiang Guodong.But when Jin Min returned home, he talked to Jiang Guodong about the child. When Jiang Guodong heard that Jiang Chuan was going to keep the child, he said, "Then you resign and give birth to the child. Our family is not short of money now. How many more children can I have?"

At that time, Jiang Guodong was well-known for being rich, and he loved showing off his wealth.Jin Min quit her job to raise a baby at home. Everyone said that she married a good man who would make money and take care of her family.When the child was five months old, the inspection found some problems.It was not a common genetic defect, and the fetus' limbs were sound.

Taking the cleft lip as an example, the doctor deduced that this defect would not cause intellectual defects in the baby, and Jin Min gave up the idea of ​​abortion again.

When she was about to give birth, she only heard about Jiang Guodong gambling and taking drugs.

People with no family background can go bankrupt instantly if they get involved in gambling and drug abuse.Jiang Guodong owed a huge amount of gambling debts, and even Xi Yun couldn't afford that much money.When the debt collector came to the door, Jin Min was so frightened that he gave birth prematurely.Jiang Guodong concealed the fact that he took drugs, and the pregnancy test in ordinary hospitals is a routine routine. It was not until this premature baby was born that everyone realized that it was not as simple as a cleft lip.

Jiang Guodong, who owed a lot of debt, had long forgotten his promise to support a family, and quietly threw away the premature baby.After school, Jiang Chuan didn't bother to go to Xi Yun's place to play cards, and ran directly to the hospital, but saw Jin Min crying and begging Jiang Guodong to pick up the child.

Jiang Guodong cursed: "That kind of sick seedling can't be kept alive! If you pick it up, you have to make offerings like your ancestors. If I have money, I might as well offer it to the God of Wealth!"

Jin Min was weak, and was about to faint from crying: "You promised to give birth, and I lost my job to give birth... Throw it away if you say so, are you still human... Where did you throw the baby, don't you want it?" I want……"

Jiang Guodong didn't waver in the slightest: "I threw it into the trash can at the door, there are so many broken wine bottles, I'm either suffocated or smashed to death, don't bother me anymore!"

Jiang Chuan took off his schoolbag, threw a brick on Jiang Guodong's body, and shouted: "Jiang Guodong, you dare to throw my sister, I'll kill you!"

He turned his head and ran, ran to the street, rummaged through one trash can after another, and finally found his sister, who was covered in garbage and was barely breathing.He carried his sister back to the hospital and put his arms around the doctor's thigh for help.Jiang Guodong couldn't come up with the money, and Jiang Chuan didn't bother him, and asked someone else to borrow the phone to call Xi Yun.

At night, Jiang Chuan went to look for Xi Yun, and Xi Yun said, "Your father owes me more than 50 yuan, and I don't know how much he owes others. Now, you owe me too."

This year, Jiang Chuan was already seven years old. After counting with his fingers for a long time, he said, "I don't have any money yet. I can make money and return it to you when I grow up, okay?"

"Not good." Xi Yun looked at him indifferently, "You can make money and pay it back now."

The 50 ten years ago is not a small amount, plus the previous 2 to [-] that was given to Jiang Guodong for nothing, Xi Yun's waste of money made Nan Xiangjun feel very uncomfortable, and directly took all the banks. Card.Jiang Guodong had already become a pit of dissatisfaction, and Xi Yun didn't bother to lend him any more money, so he directly discussed the terms with Jiang Chuan.

He never seemed to think that Jiang Chuan was just a child, but another interesting existence on the gaming table next to poker.

It was the first time Jiang Chuan actually went to the gambling table, and he was very uneasy.

Under the rendering of the environment, people often have an instinctive reaction to "right or wrong".In the past two years with Xi Yun, although he played cards in different ways all day long, Xi Yun never instilled the concept of "gambling" in Jiang Chuan.At home, whenever he heard that Jiang Guodong was at the poker table, whether it was mahjong or poker, Jin Min couldn't help but say a few words.Therefore, Jiang Chuan has an instinctive reaction—playing cards is fine, but money cannot be involved.

The chips were exchanged for money and placed in front of Jiang Chuan, Jiang Chuan cried instantly.

He was seldom afraid, and he seldom cried, but now he cried pitifully because of fear.Xi Yun pinched his face, and said softly: "Do you know that there is a place where children, when they were your age, were all vying to be on the gambling table. Otherwise, they would not make any money and would be trampled on for the rest of their lives." .”

His voice was colder than usual, Jiang Chuan couldn't understand, wept and wiped away his tears, and asked with red eyes: "Is this money enough to pay you back?"

"Enough." Xi Yun took some of the banknotes in front of Jiang Chuan, "There is still some left, do you want to hide it?"

Jiang Chuan stopped crying, and the sobs hadn't subsided yet. He squeezed the money and said, "I want to buy some delicious food for my sister... The doctor said that my sister is sick... I want my sister to recover soon..."

Xi Yun's heart trembled slightly, he looked at this savage child, but didn't speak.
