Chapter 1758: Didn’t Know How to Cherish People
There were even spider webs inside, and the broken closet was crammed with dirty clothes.
People like Li Gouzi could not get along with others. When Chen Ermei married a man like him, she had suffered so much. She was so worn out that it was hard to tell if she was a human or a ghost.
Li Gouzi didn’t know how to cherish people. Forget about cherishing people, he would beat women. He wouldn’t do any work and ask his woman to support him.
Scum or bastard was not enough to describe Li Gouzi.
After not finding Li Gouzi, Ning Shu turned around and left.
Early the next morning, Ning Shu told the Chen family that she was going shopping in the town.
Now that there was no money at home, Father Chen told Ning Shu to save up and not buy any ridiculous things.
Ning Shu carried the basket onto the ox cart and went to town.
She was going to find Li Gouzi. Since Bai Yiqiao had used Li Gouzi to ruin Chen Ermei’s life, she would deal with Bai Yiqiao by using Li Gouzi.
The Fang family was still peaceful, so she knew that Bai Yiqiao intended to keep her matters a secret. She even wanted to live with Fang Yong like nothing had happened.
Ning Shu wouldn’t blab to Fang Yong, telling him something like your wife cuckolded you. It was best to watch dogs eat dogs while her hands remained clean.
When Ning Shu arrived in town, she bought a little makeup from the costume shop. She disguised herself a bit and also made her face full of pockmarks. She planned to go to the gambling parlor to find Li Gouzi.
If Li Gouzi had money, he would definitely gamble.
In any case, Li Gouzi never did anything proper. If he wasn’t in the red light district, he’d be at a gambling parlor. If not there, he’d go to a restaurant to eat and drink his fill.
Ning Shu walked into a gambling parlor. The place had a foul atmosphere. It was noisy and crowded, and the men were naked from the waist up and were sweating profusely. In addition to the heat, the smell in the air was enough to send your soul out of your body. Ning Shu covered her nose with a handkerchief as she searched for Li Gouzi everywhere.
She soon spotted Li Gouzi at a gambling table. His eyes were glued to the croupier who was shaking the dice. His eyes were red, and his face was gloomy. He had obviously been gambling all night.
There was not much money in front of him, just two pieces of broken silver.
The croupier shook the three dice and revealed them as Big, but Li Gouzi had bet Small.
Li Gouzi was upset. His face turned blue with anger, and his eyes turned red. However, he continued to gamble and bet all the money in front of him.
Ning Shu covered her nose and went out, waiting for Li Gouzi at the gate of the gambling parlor. Anyway, he would come out naturally once he had no money.
While standing, Ning Shu fanned herself with her sleeves. It was really too hot today. The heat was practically distorting the air.
It didn’t take long for Li Gouzi to be thrown out by the gambling house’s hired thugs. Li Gouzi was tossed on the ground. He inhaled sharply from the pain.
Li Gouzi cursed as he got up and patted the dust on his clothes. He felt hungry, so he decided to go eat in a restaurant before thinking of a way to get money.
Speaking of money, Li Gouzi thought of Bai Yiqiao. He didn’t know where Bai Yiqiao got the money from.
Overall, she had given him four hundred taels of silver so far. He had repaid more than two hundred taels of his loan and squandered the rest.
Based on how effortlessly Bai Yiqiao had taken out that money, there must still be some on her.
Li Gouzi believed he had struck a jackpot. Bai Yiqiao was beautiful and had money, so he wouldn’t have to worry for the rest of his life.
Li Gouzi hummed a little song and went to a noodle restaurant for breakfast. Ning Shu followed behind him and saw him enter the noodle restaurant.
Ning Shu found two men, gave them some money, and asked them to enter the noodle shop and say some words a bit later.
