Movie World I am King

Chapter 2237

Chapter two hundred and thirty-seven

In the middle of the city of Yangzhou in the middle of the night... it was dark.

Isn't this a city in the electrified era of later generations...

Although Yangzhou is already a large and prosperous city in this era...

However, once night falls, the city is still pitch black...

Of course, it's not completely black. Looking from the sky, occasionally there are a lot of dots of light dotting it.

It was a long-light guide lamp lit at the door of a wealthy family.

And among the sparse lights, one light is especially bright...

That light was not a guide light at the door of a wealthy family, but a house light in a small courtyard.

This courtyard is not very big, that is, it looks like both inside and outside. It can be said to be extremely petite compared to those rich and wealthy mansions occupying more than ten acres of land...

In the room of the back house, a bright oil lamp is emitting its own light.

It stands to reason that even the wealthy, if not necessary, would not turn the oil lamp so bright.

You know, in this era, the brighter the oil lamp, the more lamp oil is consumed.

With such a bright oil lamp, the oil consumed in one night is enough to make some wealthy families heartache.

And the owner in this room obviously didn't care about the loss of lamp oil, she only cared about whether the ever-bright lamp she had ignited could really make her benefactor find herself in the dark.

"My dear, why aren't you here..." Wei Zhenzhen lay down on the round table, looking at the shining flame in front of her, and muttered: "Does Zhenzhen just make you dismissive?"

At this moment, a soft knock on the door sounded...

"Is it Yu'er?" Wei Zhenzhen asked in a low voice after hearing the sound.

"Madam, it's late at night...you better have a rest earlier... the master won't come at this time, I'm afraid it's delayed by mundane affairs again, so don't wait..." the maid outside persuaded softly.

"It's okay, I can't sleep on either side, so let me wait a little longer!" Wei Zhenzhen's tone even contained a hint of pleading...

Hearing Wei Zhenzhen’s words, the maid named Yu'er outside the door couldn’t help but sighed slightly... "Well, since Madam wants to wait any longer, just follow Madam... But don’t be bothered. If the body is broken, otherwise, the master will blame the servant..."

"...Do you still remember Zhenzhen?" Hearing the maid's words, Wei Zhenzhen's expression was intertwined with joy and sadness... "Yu'er, have you received any news from your friend?"

"This... The slave and maid just know that maybe the master will come to Yangzhou in the next few days, but when exactly will it arrive, I don't know..." Yuer said, sighed quietly, and slandered secretly-badass The master can really torture people...

Obviously, she had already stolen Madam Wei's heart, but she refused to say that she had taken it away... It is also aptly named, love is like old wine, the more brewing, the stronger.

Alas, it’s just suffering from Mrs. Wei in the room...

Thinking of this, Yu'er said to Wei Zhenzhen in the house through the door panel: "Mrs. Wei, please take care of your body. For you and for the master... the slave and maid quit!"

While talking, Yu'er's figure disappeared in the same place instantly...

That seemingly beautiful maid is actually a martial arts master... If this scene is seen, I am afraid that I will drop my jaw...

"Yu'er?"

Wei Zhenzhen in the room heard the maid's farewell and hurriedly shouted... After a while, she gave up after receiving no response.

She just wanted to chat with Yu'er for a while, talk about a conversation... it would be best to talk more about her mysterious master.

Unfortunately, Yu'er is obviously sleepy...

Thinking of this, Wei Zhenzhen couldn't help but sigh deeply...

She put her chin on her arms and lay on the table, looking at the oil lamp in front of her, her thoughts couldn't help returning to that day more than a year ago...

Wei Zhenzhen was born in a small family in Yangzhou. Her father was originally a wandering merchant who lived in the countryside. Although his life was tight, he was still happy.

But the moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have misfortunes and blessings...

I don’t know when, her father got to know a few friends of Hupengou. The so-called Hupengou friends, of course, would not teach people to be kind...

Under the leadership of those friends, Wei Zhenzhen's father got into the bad habit of gambling.

In this case, his business was naturally abandoned...

The family is becoming more and more desperate. Even Wei Zhenzhen’s father owes a large gambling debt to the casino.

Even so, Wei Zhenzhen's father still refused to stop, but continued to borrow money to gamble...

In fact, everyone knows what the psychology of a gambler is like.

The more I lose, the more I want to make money. The more I lose, the more I want to bet. I hope that one day I can turn over in one fell swoop and make a lot of money.

A gambler with such a mentality will never win money.

In this way, all the valuables in the family were sold out by Wei Zhenzhen's father and used to gamble.

It's not over yet...

After being unreliable and selling nothing to sell... Wei Zhenzhen's father was blocked at home by people collecting money in the casino.

That day, the people in the casino would take Wei Zhenzhen to pay off the gambling debt.

Fortunately, on weekdays, the neighborhoods get along pretty well, so with the help of the neighborhoods, the guys who collect the numbers didn't dare to be presumptuous, but when they left, they left their ruthless words and didn't pay off the gambling within three days. Debt, the Wei family will be destroyed...

Ordinarily, after this tragedy, Wei Zhenzhen's father should also take care of him, first find a way to pay off his gambling debts, and then regain his previous business and support his family, right?

However, things were not as simple as he imagined... what is said?Helping the emergency does not save the poor... What's more, Wei Zhenzhen's father is a gambler. To a certain extent, it is destined that he will not be able to borrow money...

After all, no one would lend money to a gambler, just like a meat bun hitting a dog, there is no return.

In the end, Wei Zhenzhen's father returned home empty-handed two days after begging grandpa to tell her grandma.

Just when a family was at a loss, someone walked through his door...

It’s not someone else, it’s Lao Feng who opened the food stall at the South Gate...

That old Feng, forty out of eight this year, is a person who stepped halfway into the coffin board.

However, he is not old and not old. For the well-known Wei Zhenzhen, Lao Feng has long coveted...

In the past, Lao Feng also knew that he had come to propose marriage, and he was afraid that he would be beaten out, because not only was he older, but he had already married a wife. With such conditions, how could the Wei family treat himself like a flower? Will Yu's daughter marry him as a child?

However, the day before yesterday, when Lao Feng passed by Wei's house, he saw the scene of Wei's being forced into debt by the casino thugs. This let Lao Feng know that the opportunity was here.
