"Xiang Jiuling, do you know what you are doing now?"

After dinner, Wen Xi stared at Xiang Jiuling, with a chill in his voice. He only found out about Xiang Jiuling's gambling house after he came back and overheard the conversations between his neighbors.

"I thought you were busy with serious business recently, but I didn't expect you to open a gambling shop behind my back. Do you know that gambling can be addictive? How many people are involved in this, you..."

"Why is this not serious? I didn't hold a knife to their necks and force them to gamble. Everyone was willing to do so. I just provided a venue."

Xiang Jiuling obviously disagrees with Wen Xi's view. In her opinion, this is just a way to make money quickly, so that they can make more money and the children don't have to suffer.

As soon as he finished speaking, the air became a little quiet for a moment.

Wen Xi's face was as dark as water: "Xiang Jiuling, it's true that I misunderstood you before. I thought you had changed now, but you are clearly doing stupid things now. Don't you know how many people have lost their lives because of gambling?

?There are people with broken arms and legs, but instead of avoiding them, you jump into the fire pit. What are you thinking in your heart?"

His voice was full of anger, his emotions were out of control, and his eyes became sharp.

Both of them had their own understandings and were stubborn in their opinions, and then they quarreled.

The three children had never seen such a fight before, so when they saw them arguing like this, they were all a little panicked, especially Sanni.

The little girl stepped forward and pulled Xiang Jiuling's sleeve, crying and saying, "Mother, please stop arguing, please stop arguing."

Erbao was also a little scared, but he quickly said: "Father, mother, let's stop talking. Stop arguing. Why can't we have a good discussion?"

Seeing his younger brothers and sisters crying together, although Dabao felt panicked, he also knew that he couldn't cry at this time, so he quickly helped to comfort his younger brothers and sisters, and then offered persuasion: "Mom, I don't think we should open a gambling house, either.

I heard before that someone had his arm chopped off because of gambling debts, why don’t we shut it down?”

Xiang Jiuling clenched her money bag tightly, obviously unwilling to agree. These were all the money she had earned by opening a gambling house during this period. This was just a way to make money. She didn't understand why Wen Xi was so opposed to it. Those gambling activities had ruined everything.

This person is just bringing the blame on herself and being greedy. Why does she care about opening a gambling house?

Moreover, even if she doesn't gamble, there are still so many people gambling, can those people stop gambling?

Xiang Jiuling and Wen Xi argued for a few more words, and finally the two broke up on bad terms, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

But Wen Xi didn't intend to bow his head. She didn't discuss this matter with him in the first place. What's more, it was a gambling house. There were countless tragedies caused by gambling these days, and he had seen many of them, so he couldn't let Xiang Jiuling

Keep this gambling den open.

But now that Xiang Jiuling has made a lot of money, how can he be willing to close it down?

There were more and more people in the gambling house, and Xiang Jiuling's business was getting better and better. Wen Xi had several conflicts with her, but still couldn't persuade her.

"Okay, you don't need to talk about this anymore, I have a sense of discretion."

Xiang Jiuling's tone was a little impatient. She was tired of hearing all those words and her ears were almost getting calluses.

Wen Xi's voice was low: "No, you don't know what propriety is at all, otherwise you wouldn't open a gambling shop. I told you so much, but you haven't heard a word."

His tone was full of disappointment. He thought she had changed before, but he didn't expect that she would go astray now and he couldn't pull her back.

"I understand what you mean, but I didn't ask anyone to cut off other people's hands and feet, I just took some money appropriately."

In previous lives, when others opened teahouses to play cards, they also had to pay for tea.

Seeing that Wen Xi wanted to speak, Xiang Jiuling simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Well, since she can't listen, let her go for now. Sooner or later she will wake up.

And this day came quickly.

Xiang Jiuling had just finished breakfast at home. Before she could clear away the dishes, several officers and soldiers suddenly burst into the yard and forcibly took her away.

The three children were frightened and cried by this sudden group of people. Wen Xi didn't stop him even if he wanted to, so he had to comfort the children first.

At this point, Xiang Jiuling was still a little confused, "What are you doing and why are you arresting me?"

The gambling house was running well and there were no major problems or disputes, so she couldn't figure out why the officers and soldiers would arrest her.

Soon an officer and soldier answered her question: "You know Zhang Liu, right?"

"He was hired by me to take charge of accounting. What happened to him?"

Xiang Jiuling asked confusedly.

The officers and soldiers told the truth. It turned out that this six-manager started to be dishonest when he was managing money. After all, he only worked for money. When he saw the money, he found an opportunity to take all the money away.

Others went to him to exchange money with casino items, only to realize that he was missing and quickly went to the government to report the case.

The government believed that Xiang Jiuling and Zhang Liu were colluding to deliberately defraud people of their money, so they arrested her.

Xiang Jiuling's face changed suddenly. She thought it would be calm this time, but she didn't expect bad luck to strike so soon. She still had some doubts in her heart. It wasn't until she was interrogated that she confirmed that Zhang Liu had really taken the money and ran away, and that he had run away without mercy.

There is no trace, and no one has been found so far.

For a moment she felt regretful.

The official stared at her and said in a deep voice: "I have been an official here for several years. I have seen many people lose their lives because of gambling, their wives and children were separated, and their families were destroyed. It can be said to be extremely miserable. You should never drive like this."

Gambling house."

Xiang Jiuling woke up suddenly, feeling as if she had had a hazy dream, and finally woke up.

That's right, she shouldn't have opened this gambling shop. It's also her fault that she was too utilitarian and only thought about making money. Unfortunately, in the end, it was ruined by her poor employment.

Xiang Jiuling here is still regretful after learning the truth, while Wen Xi and the three children on the other side are still worried.

Erbao sat on the chair with Sanni in his arms and looked at Wen Xi with some fear, "Dad, what's wrong with mother? When will mother come back?"

Hearing this, Sanni also stretched out her head from Erbao's arms and looked at Wen Xi with a pair of watery eyes, "Dad, I miss my mother!"

The two children were young and did not understand the seriousness of the crime. Wen Xi took a deep breath and showed a relaxed expression, "It's okay. You stay at home well. Dad will bring your mother back soon, okay?"

Wen Xitong told Dabao a few words to take good care of Erbao and Sanni and went out. After asking around, he found out the truth of the matter. He had already seen that Zhang Liuyi was not a trustworthy person.

, at that time, he was still a little angry because of Xiang Jiuling's opening of a gambling house, so he ignored it. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen.
