"It was agreed when I came here that all the winnings, no matter how valuable or not, belong to him. People who come to your house to leak secrets can't be played in vain."
Li Yu was expressionless.
The elder brother of the Li family realized the seriousness at this time, and the aunt's dowry was gone.
They lost the Li family property.
The strings in my brain are broken...
Auntie is a widow, raising two children and working hard for half her life...
"Play, I press my hand, win or lose."
"Okay, if you win, I will return it to you. If you lose, I will cut off your hand. I want the right hand."
The man is calm and clear, with a smile on his face.
To decide whether to win or lose, it is still dice.
There is no doubt that Li Yong and the others lost again. The faces of the children were pale, sweating profusely, breathing heavily, like fish out of water, struggling to breathe. The entire back of the clothes was completely soaked, showing two shades of color.
"Brother, that is all the property of the family, it is mother's dowry..."
The younger sister grabbed her brother's hand and cried.
The father of the brothers and sisters died in the Northwest battlefield in the early years. They are really orphans and widows. This property was transferred by the boss.
At that time, the property of orphans, widows, and families of heroes and martyrs was first transferred, so that they would not suffer any loss.
Li Yong slowly turned his head to look at his crying sister, his eyes were straightened, like a fool.
"These industries are mine."
"yes."
"Come on, let me make you understand."
The man opened the Pai Gow and dice, explained the deceptions one by one, and personally demonstrated how he cheated.
Everyone was in an uproar.
After talking for a long time, everyone saw how powerful and tricky gambling is.
"Brother, you have to be willing to admit defeat, the price of this class is a bit high."
Xu Yang rushed out and knelt on the ground, "Uncle, please, please spare my brothers."
"Son, I gave you a chance. Last time I saw that General Li didn't let you get close to the poker table. I thought I did a good job. This time, it was agreed in advance. I will pay a price for leaking the secret."
Brother Xu also climbed off the chair and knelt at the man's feet.
"Uncle, please forgive me, it's my fault, it's my self-righteousness, it's my fault..."
The sisters of the Li family also knelt down one by one, "I beg you to spare my brothers."
"I would like to bet and admit defeat, the Li family has no cowards."
Li Yu raised his head and took a deep breath, raised his right leg, and drew out the dagger.
"Brothers, come on."
Li Yong and the others didn't say anything, and now their brains are awake.
"Sister, please forgive my brother, we know we were wrong..."
"I beg you…"
There was a lot of crying at the scene, and if I really chopped off my hand, the brothers would be useless.
"If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. Today is different. Do you really understand where you are?"
Li Yu smiled bitterly.
"Press 'em."
Li Yong and the others were pressed on the card table, and their hands were firmly pressed.
They didn't speak all the time, and at this moment, they had mixed feelings, fear and regret, sweat flowed down their foreheads, and their entire back was wet with sweat.
"don't want…"
The daughter of the Li family was crying.
The man raised his knife and dropped it.
"ah!"
The sisters screamed in fright, covering their faces and not daring to look.
Li Yong and the others also closed their eyes in fear. After all, they are young and nothing has happened.
Pain came from his hand, Li Yong opened his eyes and saw that the back of his hand was cut, but it was not cut off.
I was stunned for a while, and didn't react for a long time, as if I was alive after a catastrophe, but I couldn't believe it, so I just looked at the man of the Zhao family so stupidly.
"For the sake of the relationship between the two families, I will forgive you once, and I will punish you for a small punishment. I will not hold back next time."
"You don't want my hand anymore."
He panted violently, as if he returned to the water in an instant, regained his mind, and left death.
"You should save your hand for writing and holding a knife."
Li Yong didn't wake up until now, and his whole body became weak.
After a while, I stood up and saluted, apologizing: "I was wrong, I know I was wrong."
"Thank you brother Zhao for teaching me, the younger generation is very grateful."
"Well, don't get involved in this, I think you have all seen it today, you will never be able to play with me."
"My brother taught me that the younger generation will keep it in mind and never dare to forget it for the rest of their lives."
"Okay, I should go too."
The man from the Zhao family clasped his fists to bid farewell to his master and Li Yu.
"Brother, thank you for coming, please accept these gifts."
Li Yu held the box and offered it with both hands.
The man from the Zhao family shook his head, "I can't take things from orphans and widows. If you have a few jugs of good wine, that's fine. Look down on me. Let's make friends. My father is a general, and my mother is also a widow. I understand the suffering of widows."
Li Yu sighed, "Brother, I owe you a favor."
"Brother Zhao, the Li family owes you a favor. If there is a need, as long as it doesn't violate morality and conscience for us to rebel, the brothers will never refuse."
Brother Li stood up and clasped his fists to promise.
"It's easy to say."
The Zhao family man patted Li Yong a few times, "Don't disappoint the family's hard work, it's not easy for a widowed mother."
"I was wrong."
Li Yong lowered his head in shame, tears also fell.
The Zhao family man clasped his fists and left.
"Xiaoyu, go and get the good wine from the wine store, and put it on the brother of the Zhao family. I want the ten-year-old one, which tastes good."
"yes."
"Brother, I will come to thank you in person someday."
Li Yu thanked him repeatedly for sending the person to the door, and returned after giving the big red envelope prepared in advance.
A group of people stood there, unable to recover, and their faces were not very good-looking.
"I'm all awake, people don't want your things, so keep them by yourself."
This thing is hot to the touch again, and Li Yong can't lift his head.
Kneeling on the ground, "We made a mistake, and we are willing to be punished."
It’s true to be acting, but it’s true that they lost their bottom line when they played alone, and they fell into it.
"Come on, put the stools on, and let each of you hit the army ten times. Don't complain this time."
Li Yu pursed his lips.
The uncle of the clan took out the stools and lay down on them one by one to beat the army sticks. Anyone who played would be beaten, not just these few.
Xu Yang switched to playing with his left hand because his injury was not recovering, and kept copying the family rules with his right hand.
After beating a group of people, they went to kneel in the ancestral hall. This time, I really learned how powerful gambling is, and I guess I will never dare to do it again.
The girls didn’t play at all, they watched the excitement, and their legs and feet became weak from fright, so they helped each other back.
Master Xie is not educating everyone, let them go back and have a good taste, and talk about it tomorrow.
"Master, thank you for worrying about Li Jiaerlang, please be respected by Yuer."
"You're welcome, get up quickly, and leave the rest to me."
"thank you."
Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the pale faces of the brothers and sisters made me feel at ease.
From the second day onwards, everyone will be punished. Mr. Xie earnestly told about the cases and consequences of the Xie family’s children being addicted to gambling, and this time everyone took it into their hearts.
Brother Xu went back to the Royal Academy, and what he received was a new round of punishment and hand-beating.
Xu Yang is owed, there is no place to fight.
Everyone in the school watched them being beaten, and they really learned a lesson.
The advantage is that the children are more motivated and hardworking, and they understand the difficulty and hardship of making a living here for the Li family, and understand the bitterness and grievances of the elders, and they work harder and are more sensible than before.
Throughout the whole process, the aunts cooperated infinitely to tolerate Li Yu's troubles, and no one complained when the children were beaten.
Boss Li came back from his work and found out about Li Yu's beating. He went to see Brother Xu and the others. Instead of being too harsh, he told the children in the school about the situation outside in earnest, letting them know that it was difficult and what they should do What, this is much more effective than light punishment.
