At night, Wen Xi took care of things in the prison before delivering food and clothes.

Xiang Jiuling didn't expect that Wen Xi would come to see her. She insisted on opening a gambling house and ignored Wen Xi's advice. They didn't speak for a long time after they had a falling out. She thought he wouldn't care at all this time.

She did.

Seeing Xiang Jiuling's face turned pale and sitting in a daze in the dirty and messy cell, Wen Xi couldn't bear it. He wanted to blame her but swallowed it when he said it.

"I'm trying to find a way to raise money. If you just have to be patient for a few more days, you should be able to go out soon."

After saying that, before Xiang Jiuling could speak, Wen Xi stood up and left.

Looking at his figure, Xiang Jiuling felt more and more annoyed. She blamed her for being obsessed with money for a while, not listening to his words, and insisting on her own way. All the money was in vain, which was like trying to draw water from a bamboo basket.

After Wen Xi returned, he ran around to take care of things. Using the contacts he had made in recent times, he finally scraped together enough money.

After all the money was paid, the Yamen released the person. After all, Xiang Jiuling did not commit any serious crimes. As long as the money was repaid and the gambling room was closed, it would be considered a minor matter.

After staying in a dark and humid prison for several days, Xiang Jiuling returned to the familiar courtyard and suddenly felt that everything seemed a little hazy. She sat on the stool without saying a word, and she was lost in thought.

Wen Xi knew that this lesson was a big blow to Xiang Jiuling, so he didn't bother her and went to the kitchen to cook for the children.

As soon as Wen Xi finished cooking a dish, he turned around and met Xiang Jiuling's gaze.

"Sorry, I made a mistake this time. I shouldn't have gone my own way. I always thought about making money and didn't think about other things."

Xiang Jiuling's voice was stiff. She had never done business before and didn't understand many things: "I swear to you, I will never open a gambling shop again. If I think about it again, I will be struck by thunder...

…”

Wen Xi frowned and interrupted her without hesitation.

"You don't need to swear poison. I know you have woken up. This is also a long memory. You know what to do and what not to do."

At this moment, the two of them finally settled their differences and lost their estrangement.

If Xiang Jiuling said he wouldn't do it, then he really wouldn't do it. He never mentioned the word gambling again.

When the gangsters on the street came to look for her, she ignored them and wouldn't give them any unnecessary looks.

"Boss, this matter has been settled, why can't we continue? Besides, our gambling house makes a lot of money. Do you really want to see this money being made in vain by others?"

The gangster didn't quite understand. In his opinion, going to jail was an ordinary thing. As long as he could make money, these were just trivial matters. Moreover, he just didn't know people well before. Can't he just find someone he trusts to do it later?

Of course Xiang Jiuling knew what he was thinking. Opening a casino would bring in money quickly, and he didn't have to do hard work. He could feel comfortable however he wanted. He just had to pay attention and keep an eye on it.

However, she has seen the essence of the matter clearly through this incident. She only glanced at the other party lightly and said decisively: "I said, I will never open a casino again in the future, nor will I have anything to do with gambling. Don't bother me again."

I, I don’t have the time to tell you more.”

The unwilling ruffian was naturally scolded severely by Xiang Jiuling. The other party was extremely surprised. He thought she was just a little shrewd, but he didn't expect that she had something hidden. Seeing that he could no longer get any benefits from her,

The gangster then left.

There are no gangsters to disturb us, and life has become peaceful again.

The home had returned to its previous warmth and comfort, and Wen Xi had cheered up again. He was not the kind of person who would never recover after a setback, so he naturally tried his best to find a new way to survive.

With three children and a woman to support, he had to go out and find something to do. After all, if Xiang Jiuling was not allowed to open a gambling house to make money, then he would have to bear the income of the family expenses.

In fact, Wen Xi has been looking for something to do recently. He first deliberately got close to those people when he went to the tea shop to drink tea, and asked them about ways to make a living.

One of them, an elderly man, was the most kind. As soon as he saw Wen Xi's appearance, he knew that he was looking for work and wanted to support his family, so he smiled and pointed out a clear path for him: "Recently, a wealthy family in town is repairing a house.

, we need a lot of people. There is a foreman right at the south gate. If you have a scar on the root of your eyebrow, you can definitely go to him."

Wen Xi bowed his hands to him and kept thanking him. He had plenty of strength and could do anything as long as he could make money.

"It doesn't matter, it's not easy for anyone these days. There's nothing wrong with me. I just like to help others."

Hearing this, Wen Xi felt warm in his heart. If the pig butcher had been as sincere as him, he would not have stolen their things, but would have been severely punished by them.

Xiang Jiuling, who was at home, planned to take advantage of the time to recuperate to replenish the bodies of the children. They were running around with them and helping to find food. No one was idle, even the youngest Sanni.

Everyone is helping, but the bodies of several children are lacking in nutrients.

Looking at the three little carrot heads, Xiang Jiuling exchanged some ingredients in the space. Of course, she couldn't let them know this, so she lied that she got it by doing things for others.

She poured a piece of old tofu with hot oil and sprinkled it with some chopped green onions. The tangy fragrance made people's index fingers tickle.

She also fried a plate of fried meat with dried bamboo shoots and a salad of shredded lettuce, drizzled with a little spicy oil. The children were drooling. She also stewed a pot of white fish soup. As soon as the lid of the pot was opened, three

The child's eyes suddenly lit up.

These are the simplest dishes, and the three children ate them with gusto, wishing they could even eat their bowls.

Seeing how much they enjoyed eating the food she cooked, Xiang Jiuling felt happy and at the same time felt a little guilty. She blamed her for neglecting them because she was just making money. She would definitely cook more delicious food for them in the future.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the system prompt: "Congratulations to the host for winning the title of Little Chef God. Keep up the good work. The higher the growth value, the better and better the cooking skills will be."

Although it was a cold mechanical sound, Xiang Jiuling felt that the system was a little excited for some reason. Is it because she finally lit up a new skill?

The increase in survival points in the system originally gave her a lot of things, but she didn't expect to be able to unlock such skills. So... are there others?

After that, Xiang Jiuling cooked four more different dishes, which were recognized and praised by the children, and her growth points increased.

Xiang Jiuling's confidence suddenly soared. His previous depression was gone and he felt much more energetic.

Wen Xi came back from work and tasted the food left in the pot. He couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that Xiang Jiuling's cooking skills had improved a lot. If nothing else, just say that the fish soup was delicious and refreshing. It didn't taste good at all.

It was so fishy that he ate all the two fish left for him.
