Chapter 277 Going to the Casino
The letter was written quickly.
"May I have your name?"
"Uh, my name is Shen Wanniang."
After a few strokes, Lu Moyan put the pen away and waited for the ink to dry.
At this time, Shen Wanniang stood up and walked around the room a few steps.
Because she smelled the bitter medicinal soup.
There was only a patchwork curtain between the room and the next room. When the wind blew by, Shen Wanniang vaguely saw someone lying on the bed inside.
"Mr. Lu, are there any patients at home?" Shen Wanniang asked softly.
Lu Moyan did not answer her, "It's time to leave."
"How much silver?"
"Five articles." Lu Moyan was still cold, his expression even showing boredom.
When Shen Wanniang was counting the coins, she couldn't help but said: "Mr. Lu, I am actually a medical student. If necessary, can I come and help your family to see a doctor?"
Lu Moyan raised his eyes, but without answering, he folded the written letter and handed it over.
Then it was like seeing off guests.
This old man really has a weird temper, and his whole person exudes a scary aura.
Shen Wanniang knew it and was afraid that she would make the old man feel annoyed if she stayed there, which would leave a bad first impression.
"Then I'll take my leave first. It would be disrespectful to give a little snack to your husband."
After saying that, he took the letter and hurried out.
And when she came out, the door behind her was closed immediately.
Shen Wanniang just became less nervous and patted herself.
At this time, Huo Junan and Huo Chen came out, and Huo Chen couldn't wait to ask, "Mom, how are you doing with your work? Did the old gentleman agree..."
"It's so easy to agree to. I just went in to get to know you a little bit first."
After Shen Wanniang finished speaking, she looked outside the alley and said, "Hey, where is the big brother Jun An just met."
"They left long ago," Huo Chen said.
"Did you see something?" Huo Junan looked at Shen Wanniang and concluded that she would not find anything when she went in this time.
They walked out of the alley together and got into the carriage.
Shen Wanniang said: "I saw a patient inside."
"What disease?"
"So how can I see it from so far away? I was wondering if anyone who knows could ask."
Shen Wanniang sat in the carriage and looked around, and suddenly she felt that this street looked familiar, as if she had come here often before.
oh……
Remembered.
It's my original self. I used to like gambling. I often came to the town's gambling house to gamble, and the town's gambling house should be on this street.
"Jun'an Jun'an, I want to go to the gambling house." She said suddenly.
This shocked Huo Chen.
"Mom, what do you want to do? How long have you stopped gambling? Are you addicted to gambling again? If you are like this, won't you lose all the family wealth again?"
Huo Junan was also stunned for a moment, but turned around and thought about it, and smiled.
"Dad, why are you laughing?"
"Stupid Xiaochen, do you think your mother wants to go in and gamble?"
"Then what does she want to do?"
"She wants to go in and inquire about Mr. Lu."
"He who knows me is safe." Shen Wanniang raised her eyebrows, "Huo Chen, you are much younger."
"..." Huo Chen didn't expect this level.
If you think about it carefully, the gambling house is very close to here and there are many people inside. Someone must know about Lu Moyan's situation.
Huo Junan followed Shen Wanniang, "Then Xiaochen is waiting here, your mother and I will go in and take a look."
"I want to go too."
"You are not allowed to go. The children will be waiting in the car."
Although Huo Chen was unhappy, he still obeyed.
The gambling house was nearby, and they quickly walked to the door. Outside the gambling house, there was an old flag with the word "GAMING" in flying colors on it.
As soon as the door was opened, the sound of clattering dice and shouting could be heard inside.
There are seven or eight gaming tables inside, and there are many people around each gaming table. The lively people are usually betting on the big and the small. There are also horse players nearby, drinking tea and playing horse games.
This mahjong is similar to modern mahjong. Four people gather around and play happily.
"Hey, why does this lady look so familiar?" A middle-aged man holding a cigarette pipe came out and looked around Shen Wanniang.
Shen Wanniang smiled slightly and said, "Master Fang, it's been so long since we last met, and you don't recognize me so quickly."
"It's you!"
"Ms. Shen...Ms. Shen..." Mr. Fang was surprised.
Isn't this Shen Wanniang an ugly and fat woman? When did she lose weight and she still looks so beautiful?
But the facial features were still the same, and the voice was still the same. Besides, Huo Junan was following behind, and he had seen them all before.
She had heard Feng Luzi and others say before that Shen Wanniang was now the boss's wife, but she still didn't believe it. Looking at it this way, Feng Luzi really didn't lie to him.
He immediately laughed and said, "Ms. Shen is a rare visitor. We are all old friends. You haven't been here for so long. We all miss you."
That's...
Of course I miss her, and I want to defraud her of the money in her pocket.
Mr. Fang bought the low-quality hormone ointment sold by Shen Wanniang for five taels last time. He originally thought he would come to the door again. Unexpectedly, it looks good now. It seems that her hormones unexpectedly cured Mr. Fang's tinea versicolor. Yes. Although hormones have serious side effects, it is not impossible to kill the fungus in one go if the drug is administered so violently.
Shen Wanniang asked.
"Master Fang, I wonder how your legs are doing."
"Hey, thanks to your ointment, it's really miraculous. I use it every day, and now I'm cured and never have a recurrence." For this, Mr. Fang was quite grateful to Shen Wanniang.
"That's good."
"Haha, Mrs. Shen, you're here already, or else you can have a good time with two at night."
"Oh, I thought about it, but something happened recently and I don't have time to play."
"What's the matter?" Mr. Fang asked with his ears pricked up.
Shen Wanniang then told Lu Moyan about the patient at home.
"Master Fang, I wonder if you know the situation in Mr. Lu's family."
"It's him..." Mr. Fang folded his arms and sneered, "I'm a fool for studying. If I were him, I would be a high official in Beizhou City now."
"Why do you say that?"
"I was not even born when he studied and became famous. When I remember, he had already won the imperial examination and went to work as an errand in the Yamen. At that time, he encountered some kind of case, and the rich man gave him money. I asked him to help me with a small favor, but he refused to help, and instead helped those poor people."
Shen Wanniang didn't like Master Fang's posture when he spoke. He also smoked leaves with yellow teeth that smelled disgusting.
But in order to understand her and Huo Junan clearly, they had to endure it.
"Anyway, I lost my errand in the yamen and came back in despair. Now I am living with his old man who is paralyzed in bed. It seems a bit pitiful if you call me pitiful."
"But let me tell you, there must be something hateful about a poor person. We asked him to be a bookkeeper earlier this morning, but he didn't even pay attention to us. You said he read a few sentences and was arrogant?
