Chapter 2199 It's all Yan Bugui's fault
Jia Zhangshi had just refuted several groups of people who were mocking her, and Xu Damao and the others were in a good mood since they had won money. They didn't bother arguing with Jia Zhangshi, so after a few jokes, they all went home.
But now that Lin Chen has reprimanded her, this woman runs faster than a rabbit. She dares to argue with others, but she wouldn't dare to argue with an old man.
"Alright, alright, I'll be going now. Sister-in-law, I admit defeat. Brother Lin, who should we arrange for the next round? I want to try again... I don't believe I can lose again."
Lin Chen thought to himself, "You really are a gambling addict, still thinking about making a quick buck."
"Nothing for now. How about you challenge someone you don't like? I can arrange it for you, so everyone can have some fun tomorrow..."
Startled, Jia Zhangshi quickly took a step back, waving her hands as she ran home. Having fought in the ring once, she really didn't want to go a second time. Unless the opponent was very weak, she wouldn't go.
"No, no, no, my sister-in-law has been feeling dizzy these past few days... No, no! You go and change the baby's diaper right away!"
After driving away Jia Zhangshi, Lin Chen also left the courtyard. As soon as he reached the gate, he ran into Fan Xiaoer and his group who were returning from get off work.
Seeing the three guys panting heavily, you could tell they had run all the way back to the courtyard house.
"Uncle Lin, how did it go? Who won? And no one fell down?"
Lin Chen has just arranged for Qiangzi and Cai Quanwu to take Yang Weimin to the hospital first thing tomorrow morning. He'll definitely be bedridden for a few days...
"Ji Cheng won! Jin You and Yong Qiang, you two families made a fortune! But Comrade Liao Yucheng, you lost! Jia Zhangshi bet on Yang Weimin for you..."
Upon hearing this, Liao Shaoji was so angry that he slapped his thigh on the spot.
"Damn it, I'm going to find her!"
Liao Yucheng lost another dollar for no reason, and he was furious!
As soon as the young man arrived at the front yard, Madam Jia came to greet him. Not only was Liao Yucheng looking for her, but Madam Jia was now also looking for the other party to settle scores.
"Brother Liao, you're finally back! Today, your wife pawned two yuan of Yang Weimin's money for you, but you only gave me one yuan. So now you need to give your wife another yuan. Don't doubt it, the whole courtyard knows about this. You can go and ask around to see if it's true..."
Liao Shaoji originally came to ask Jia Zhangshi for a dollar, but before he could even open his mouth, he found himself owing her another dollar. This was truly the most ridiculous thing imaginable.
Everyone else is winning money, but you fucking made me lose, you know that? And now you actually have the nerve to come asking me for money? What were you thinking?
Jia Zhangshi had to plead with Liao Shaoji a lot in the morning to get his spot, and she repeatedly assured him that she was sure to win this time.
Before the competition, Master Wang agreed to add more weight, so Jia Zhangshi thought she would add another dollar to Liao's roast chicken. If they won, it was theirs; if they lost, it was Liao's.
In terms of accounting, Jia Zhangshi is no less capable than Yan Bugui; the question now is whether the young man will agree.
Sure enough, just as Jia Zhangshi was about to explain the situation again, Liao Shaoji could no longer hold back.
"I'm asking you, what did I say before I left for work? Didn't I say I'd go with the flow and bet on the least popular stock? Why the hell did you bet on a less popular stock? You owe me your two dollars..."
Liao Shaoji was absolutely furious. He'd worked a whole day, only to lose a dollar and then owe her a dollar! It was like he'd worked for nothing! Was she even letting him live anymore?!
Madam Jia didn't care about all that; if she dared to ask for it, she must have a reason. Paying back debts is a matter of course, and Liao Shaoji couldn't shirk his responsibility.
"Wait a minute, you can't blame me for this. If you want to blame someone, go find that jinx Yan Bugui. Originally, the two sides were about evenly matched. But that jinx jumped around, and after he got home, he smuggled in another dollar and switched sides, betting on Yang Weimin. His switch caused all of Yang Weimin's people to go to the other side... And that's not all, he also bet an extra dime. That's what made everyone increase their bets..."
Madam Jia spoke with great conviction, shifting all the blame. Now all the blame is being placed on the miser, since it has nothing to do with her mother.
Upon hearing this, Liao Shaoji immediately looked towards the direction of the Yan family, where the fighting and cursing were still going on...
The young man heard that the three women were still dealing with Old Yan, so it seemed that what happened was true.
"Then...then why the hell didn't you jump over to Ji Cheng's side for me? If others jumped, I would have jumped over too!"
Jia Zhangshi immediately quoted Wang Baye's original words again.
"By the time my mother found out, it was already after dinner. I wanted to change it for you, but Uncle Wang disagreed. He said he could only increase the weight, not change the betting odds. What could I, sister-in-law, do?"
Now, Jia Zhangshi is speaking with great conviction, and the general facts of the matter are indeed as described. However, she has altered quite a few details!
For example, she didn't change her betting odds with the Yan brothers at first... but Liao Shaoji didn't know that.
The young man was furious. Everyone else was at home counting their money and having fun, while he had lost everything, even his underwear. He felt like he had the worst luck in the world to have met Jia Zhangshi.
"Don't try that on me. I'll find out more tomorrow. I'm not asking you for money now, and you shouldn't ask me for any money either. We're even..."
When Jia Zhangshi saw that the other party wanted to settle the score, she immediately became unhappy. "You owe me money, you must pay it back..."
"Hey! I'll teach you a lesson! Pay me back the money I gave you for adding weight... or you won't be sleeping tonight."
Liao Shaoji was about to open the door and go home when Jia Zhangshi, of course, refused to agree. She grabbed Liao Yucheng's clothes and started tearing at them...
In the front yard, three families are now happy while three families are sad. The happy ones are naturally Cui Dake, Nan Yi, and the Bald Chicken couple. The sad ones are Yan Bugui, Jia Zhangshi, and Liao Yucheng.
The grand third tournament in the courtyard house ended with most people winning money, but a small minority lost. For example, the Jinling faction...
Chen Junliang's house is packed with people now; Song Tiemei was so angry she smashed her teacup, denting it! After all, the whole courtyard is mocking them...
"This is infuriating! Everyone else has already broken even! But our Jinling Gang has lost three games in a row. No, this is all Ma Dapeng's fault."
At this moment, Ma Banjie, who was squatting in the corner, was also dejected and dared not speak.
"Dapeng, don't stay silent. Tell me what you've done?"
The Jinling faction originally intended to take Ji Cheng hostage, but Wang Baye, considering his good relationship with Ma Dapeng, decided to help him out. So he secretly told Ma Banjie that he had taught Yang Gaozi his secret technique, and that's how things ended up like this…
"I didn't know it would turn out like this. It's all that old bastard's fault. He told me that the side with fewer votes would definitely win... and he even secretly taught Yanggao a few tricks. Let's go find him now."
Now everyone thinks that Uncle Wang did it on purpose so that he could pay less than ten yuan in compensation.
Just as a group of guys were about to go and settle accounts with Master Wang, Chen Junliang called out to them.
"Come back, come back. If you go out like this, people will say we can't take a joke."
Da Sha Chun stomped his foot angrily: "Then what should we do?"
