CHAPTER 81: 81: OLD LADY QUITS PLAYING (PART 3)_1

Zhou Dachun was taken aback and subconsciously nodded.

Upon seeing this, Dong Huiying laughed even more joyously. She turned to look at the dealer, whose face had turned ghostly pale. "What a coincidence, Dong here has had quite the lucky hand today and won a big sum of money. After deducting those two taels of silver, there’s still a hundred and two taels left. Not bad, not bad, my purse is swelling up! However, considering that those two taels of silver have been overdue for quite a while, it is only right to pay some extra interest. So, let’s round it off and skip the change, making it a neat sum," she said.

Then, she extended her dark little paw and raised a finger in a peculiar and spirited gesture. "Make sure you listen well, okay? A hundred taels, not a bit more, and certainly not a bit less, or else I might get really angry, and even I would be scared of my own temper."

After that, she spread her hands and said, "Alright, give me the money!!"

Zhou Dachun was dumbfounded.

"What??? A—a hundred taels??"

Dong Huiying slightly stiffened her face, playing with her fingers nonchalantly. "What, does Madame Zhou intend to walk away from her debt? You should know, honesty is the key to being a good person. Moreover, your gambling house is a business open to the public. Are you saying that you only allow customers to lose money, but not to win? How does that make any sense? If bullying and dominating is the style of your gambling house, then perhaps it would be better not to do business at all, to avoid being a den of thieves preying on the locals."

Zhou Dachun looked questioningly at the dealer, "What exactly happened here?"

This so-called ’dealer’ was also known as a croupier in Dong Huiying’s era, primarily responsible for dealing cards and collecting chips from the gamblers.

A good croupier could help a gambling house make a fortune, but if they were not skilled, it all came down to luck.

Seeing Zhou Dachun staring at her with wide eyes, the dealer shivered and was nearly in tears. "S-Sister Dachun, I really don’t know! Dong Miss just now bet with a piece of Small Ginseng, going for thirteen times the odds, and then, then..." the dealer glanced at Dong Huiying... and she really hit it!!

With a whoosh, Zhou Dachun looked towards the gambling table and saw that three dice showed one, four, and six, while Dong Huiying’s Small Ginseng was indeed on the thirteen-times multiplier.

She had won, she actually won!!

In an instant, everything went dark.

Zhou Dachun wobbled, nearly fainting from the shock.

"How is this possible?" She looked at Dong Huiying in disbelief.

Dong Huiying shrugged her shoulders, "Why is it impossible? Perhaps the Goddess of the Mountain blessed me. Ever since that mudslide, my mind has become sharper. See, I just bet randomly and won."

This, this, she was simply asking for resentment, looking smugly self-assured. It was truly infuriating.

But the atmosphere stiffened.

After all, a hundred taels was no small sum.

Just then, a discordant voice burst out: "I don’t believe it!!!"

The person was Zhu Xingfang, who had been at Taihang Gambling House and hadn’t left yet. She had already reached an agreement with Master Hong, and her reason for staying was to see how he would help her deal with Dong Huiying.

But!

This clown unexpectedly won over a hundred taels??

As soon as Dong Huiying saw Zhu Xingfang, her face immediately turned cold.

She remembered that day on the cliff...

Zhu Xingfang? Ha, what a Zhu Xingfang!
