Chapter 444: Good Words Can't Persuade a Damned Ghost

It turned out that after Yougen rented a house for his parents that day, things were quiet for a few days.

Zhaodi went to the street to sell barbecue as usual, and her brother went there a few days later to ask her for money.

Zhaodi didn't give it at first, and insisted for a few days. When she saw her brother said he was hungry, she quietly gave him ten copper coins.

When she came back to give the account to her aunt, her aunt didn't notice it, just thinking that the weather was hot and the business was slow.

Then, Zhaodi gave her brother ten copper coins every day. As time went by, her brother Jinbao's appetite became bigger and bigger. He said that the money was not enough to eat, and he wanted at least fifty copper coins a day.

Zhaodi refused to give fifty, fearing that her mother-in-law would find out, so she thought about it and added some more, giving twenty copper coins a day.

Jinbao was not a quiet person with copper coins in his hand, so he started to gamble in the small gambling houses around the slums where he lived.

Not only did he lose all the remaining copper coins that day, he also owed more than one or two taels of silver.

The gambling house owner asked him for money, so Jinbao took him to Zhaodi. Zhaodi had no choice but to give him all the half tael of silver he earned that day, but it was still not enough. He went to Jinbao's parents and got half a tael of silver, and then he paid off his gambling debt.

Zhaodi didn't have a copper coin when he returned home, so he naturally couldn't give up.

The eldest aunt found out the whole story, and without saying anything, Taozhi took over the barbecue stall and didn't let Zhaodi get involved anymore.

The rice, flour and rapeseed in the house were all locked up to prevent her from stealing them to her parents' home.

The eldest aunt didn't tell Yougen about this matter, just thinking that she would keep a close eye on him in the future.

Yougen just thought that his wife had done something wrong to make his mother dislike her, and he didn't dare to ask, for fear that his mother would think he was dissatisfied.

Who knew that when Yougen woke up this morning, the ten taels of silver that his eldest aunt gave him to buy bricks and tiles yesterday were all gone.

He couldn't find it at home.

Finding Zhaodi not at home, Yougen hurried to his father-in-law's house. Sure enough, Zhaodi was there. He asked her if she had seen the silver, but Zhaodi hesitated.

Yougen didn't understand, so he forced Zhaodi to take out the silver.

Zhaodi knelt on the ground and cried. It turned out that the ten taels of silver were used by Zhaodi to pay off Jinbao's gambling debts.

Yougen said, "You live with your parents and brother." Then he went home.

Zhaodi hurried home in a panic, but didn't see Yougen. Yougen went to pull the cart.

When Yougen came back just now, he handed her a divorce letter, saying that he had asked someone to write it and had already gone to the government office for filing.

Yougen took a roll of bedding and luggage and the divorce letter and threw it out, and drove Zhaodi out.

In other words, Zhaodi had been divorced at the moment.

Chen was speechless for a long time after listening.

Gu Fei looked at Zhaodi coldly, but admired her cousin Yougen for cutting the Gordian knot.

If Zhaodi continues like this, Yougen's family will be dragged into the bottomless pit of Jinbao sooner or later.

Gu Fei stood up, "Cousin, if that's the case, you should go back to your parents' home first. The divorce letter has been written, and my mother's words are useless."

Chen also said indifferently: "Then I won't keep you for dinner."

She raised her voice and shouted, "Aunt Qin--"

Aunt Qin hurried over from the front yard, "Madam, what's the matter?"

Chen pursed her lips at Zhaodi, "Send the guests away--"

Zhaodi was stunned, "Second aunt, you, why don't you say something for me?"

Chen rolled her eyes, "What do you say? It's good that I don't scold you. Your family Tieniu works hard from morning till night and can only earn five or six taels of silver a year. If I were you, I would rather give the money to my son. Giving it to a gambler is a brain flood!"

Zhaodi's face flushed, "Jinbao, Jinbao was not like this before. He suddenly came to a strange place and had no playmates. He was coaxed by those people to gamble. He promised me that he would not gamble in the future."
