Chapter 440 Okay, Master
Shen Zhao's tone was full of disbelief. He wondered how Li Ping'an could make so much money from gambling?
What is your identity? How much money is there in your family? Don’t you have an idea?
Do you really think that no matter what mistakes you make, someone will cover you?
On second thought, wasn't Li Zhou betraying his master just for his son?
Gua Gua: [Host, you think too simply.
Once you become addicted to gambling, it is not easy to quit.
What's more, Li Ping'an is a spoiled person.
If you lose one thousand taels, you will only want to win it back twice as much.
Naturally, the gambling house would not let this big victim go.
Lend him the money as long as he wants to continue.
Naturally, it reached five thousand taels.
To be honest, if the gambling house hadn't asked Li Ping'an to pay back the five thousand taels first, Li Ping'an would really have ignored the huge amount of money and continued gambling. 】
Shen Zhao: [No wonder people say you shouldn’t marry a man who gambles.
I have to add that you must never raise a son who likes gambling.
Over the centuries, countless families have lost their fortunes due to gambling.
Li Pingan met a good pair of parents, but he himself would not repay his parents and only brought them trouble. 】
Guagua: [Indeed, the people from the gambling house took Li Pingan and the IOU to find Li Zhou.
When Li Zhou and Mrs. Jiang heard that they actually owed five thousand taels, their eyes were red with anger.
But he was the only son, and he begged his parents to save him.
Li Zhou and his wife naturally could not bear to watch Li Ping'an's hands and feet being cut off, so they promised the gambling house to return the five thousand taels within ten days.
However, the Li family could only come up with a few hundred taels at most.
Even if we sell both of them, we still can't get the five thousand taels! 】
Shen Zhao: [Grandfather Chen is at least a captain of a hundred guards, so he has some influence.
Didn’t Li Zhou ever think of asking Grandpa Chen for help in solving this dilemma?
After all, five thousand taels, some of it must have been caused by the gambling house to become such a high amount of silver. 】
Gua Gua: [Host, do you think that a gambling house that can take out five thousand taels of silver in one breath can be a small gambling house that can be manipulated by anyone?
This 'Yongtai Casino' is the largest casino in the city, and there is a mysterious master behind it.
No one knew who the master was, but the reputation of Yongtai Casino as being difficult to mess with had spread.
Anyone who has been to a gambling house knows that if someone comes to the gambling house to cause trouble, they will end up losing miserably.
Therefore, the few people Grandfather Chen had were really unable to take over Yongtai Casino.
He also didn't have the face to ask the gambling house to waive the IOU. 】
Shen Zhao: [So that’s what happened.]
Yes, according to the position Li Zhou holds in Grandfather Chen’s heart.
If Grandfather Chen really had the ability, he would risk his reputation to plead for his son. 】
Guagua: [That’s exactly the truth.]
He couldn't ask for help from Chen's grandfather, and Li Zhou didn't know any powerful people.
He gritted his teeth and thought for three days, but still couldn't find a good solution.
But when he returned home and saw his son's bruised face, he couldn't bear to do it.
By chance, Grandfather Chen received an inkstone as a reward from his superiors.
It is generally expensive, but also worth one hundred taels.
Several grandsons of the Chen family wanted it, and Grandfather Chen was hesitant about which one to give it to.
In the end, in order not to hurt his grandchildren's feelings, Grandfather Chen put it in the warehouse. 】
In the video, Grandfather Chen was in his study, watching his last grandson come to ask for the inkstone and leave unhappily after being rejected by him. Finally, he told Li Zhou, who was bending over, and said in a deep voice,
"Li Zhou, you personally deliver this inkstone to the warehouse and put it away!"
Li Zhou remained respectful in front of his master and replied,
"Yes, sir."
I will go right away."
