Chapter 153 I'll Bet With You
"You clearly know that I can't come up with twenty taels, so you're forcing me!" Sang Xinyue said sadly.
Wei Xing glanced at her and said, "I can't take it out. For the sake of being married for so many years, you can just write me an IOU and pay it back to me slowly. I can agree to it."
Sang Xinyue bit her lips and hugged Jia'er tightly in her arms. Her mind was filled with muddy water now, and she couldn't let go of Jia'er.
She knew Wei Xing very well. If she left Jia'er to him, within a few days, he would exchange Jia'er for his gambling money!
At this critical moment, she looked at Su Eli as if asking for help. At this moment, the only person she could trust was Su Eli.
Su Eli was silent for a moment, and then she asked: "If I write you a twenty-tael IOU, will you really agree to reconcile with Sister Sang and let her take Jia'er away?"
"A true man keeps his word! As long as I see the twenty taels of IOU, I will let him go!"
Wei Xing thought this way. Jia'er is still young. Even if he keeps it, he won't be able to sell it for much money. But Sang Xinyue is different. For Jia'er, she will definitely work hard to make money for herself. For twenty taels, with
The two of them exchanged twenty taels, which was enough for him to gamble for many days!
Su Eli raised her lips sarcastically. It was not shameful for such a gambler to have the nerve to claim that he was a man.
She glanced at Wei Xing and then at the people around her, "Okay, now there are so many people who can serve as witnesses. You said it yourself. As long as I give you twenty taels of IOU, you are willing to let them go."
"Yes! What's going on!" Wei Xing snorted.
"Okay, I'll write you the twenty taels of IOUs." Su Eli said calmly.
"Girl Li!" Sang Xinyue was shocked. She didn't expect Su Eli to say this at all, "You can't help it, Girl Li!"
The village chief's wife also tugged on Su'eri's sleeve and said worriedly: "This is twenty taels, Li girl, you have to think clearly."
"I've thought about it clearly." Su Eli said, "Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If Sister Sang lives with him again, her life will be in danger sooner or later. Spend twenty taels to save the two of them."
I am willing to be a free man from now on."
"Justice!" Wei Xing didn't care who took the money for the twenty taels, and said to the neighbor who came to watch the fun, "Uncle, let me lend you a pen and ink, so that it won't be too late and this little girl won't admit it!"
His neighbor looked at Su Eli hesitantly. It was not that he had never seen someone who spoke uprightly, but he had never seen such a stupid person!
Sang Xinyue's eyes were filled with tears, "Girl Li, for our sake, you don't have to do this! I, I will write this IOU myself!"
"Can you come up with twenty taels?" Su Eli said calmly, "If you can't, he will still blackmail you in the future. I have a shop and a business, and I will be able to get the twenty taels together sooner or later."
Wei Xing clapped his hands hard, "That's what happened! I'm telling you, the surname is Sang. If you don't sign this little girl today, it won't count!"
The people around him looked a little aggrieved. Wei Xing was clearly trying to bully others.
Seeing Wei Xing's arrogant look, the corners of Su'eri's mouth turned up slightly. She just wanted twenty taels of silver from her. Go ahead and dream!
"Did I really go get it?" The neighbor looked at Su Eli and asked.
"Sorry to trouble you, uncle."
Now that Su Eli had said so, the neighbor had no room to help her. So he returned home and brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Spreading the paper flat on the ground, Su Eli wrote the IOU on it with a swipe of her pen. In addition to the borrowed money, she also specifically wrote clearly on it that from now on, Wei Xing and Sang Xinyue will be together.
There is no relationship between mother and daughter.
Wei Xing didn't know much about literacy, so he could barely understand what was written on the IOU. He snorted from his nostrils, "Young ladies are very careful, please sign it."
Everyone around was looking at Su Eli worriedly, and Su Eli signed and stamped it without saying a word.
"Pear girl!" Sang Xinyue grabbed her tightly and refused to let go, shaking her head desperately, "You can't!"
"It's okay, no big deal, you can return it to me slowly in the future." Su Eli gave her a look of affirmation.
She couldn't explain why, but Su'eri's look in her eyes made people instantly feel reassured. Sang Xinyue was stunned and involuntarily let go of her hand.
Without saying a word, Su Eli signed and pledged the IOU.
She handed it to Wei Xing, "Come and take a closer look to see if it's right. I won't recognize it after today."
"Yes, yes!" Wei Xing looked at the IOU, nodded repeatedly, and smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. "I don't see that you are quite generous. When are you going to give me these twenty taels?"
"I not only have twenty taels, but also forty taels." Su Eli said lightly.
Her opening made people a little confused. Why did she mention how much money she had? Was it not enough to give Wei Xing twenty taels for free, but she had to give him forty taels?!
The village chief's wife quickly winked at Su Eli and told her to stop talking.
But Su Eli seemed not to notice and smiled at Wei Xing, "Do you want these twenty taels to become forty taels?"
When Wei Xing heard this, he said, "Is there such a good thing?!"
But soon, he realized something was wrong and shook his head, "Don't try to lie to me. You can't give it to me."
He held the IOU tightly, fearing that Su Eli would snatch it away.
"I'm not lying to you. Of course, I can't give it to you for free, but I want to bet with you, so I'll bet twenty taels. If you win, you take forty taels and go. If you lose, you return the IOU.
I will write it off from now on." Su Eli looked into his eyes, "Do you dare?"
Wei Xing is a gambling addict. When he heard about the bet, he couldn't help itching his hands, but he was a little afraid to agree. Who knows what kind of medicine this little girl is selling in her gourd?
"Why, you don't dare anymore? Aren't you very comfortable gambling? I'll give you the twenty taels, and sooner or later you will take it away to gamble. Why don't you just bet a big one with me today?" Su Eli sneered.
She looked at him calmly, narrowed her eyes slightly, "Oh, I know, you just don't dare!"
In the gambling game, the most unbearable thing for gamblers is words like this. Wei Xing's eyes turned red. Once the gambling addiction comes up, he can't suppress it no matter what.
He spat on the ground, "What don't I dare to do, little girl? I'm afraid that you don't dare! If you lose the bet and act like a fool, wouldn't my bet with you be in vain?"
Su Eli looked calm, "That's absolutely impossible. With so many people here, everyone can testify that I will never cheat when I lose."
"But what if you can't come up with forty taels?" Wei Xing rubbed his nose, his gambling addiction had already developed.
