Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass - Chapter 106

Chapter 106: A Fundamental Solution 3

“Perhaps, hehe.”

Qi Qingyao was not even a bit upset about this. Her mood was still warm like a spring’s breeze.

She stared at the man in front of her who was practically enthusing over the dice cup and it reminded her of when she used to be a bookie in a casino, of how she saw the gamblers, coming and going as they sat at the gambling table with excitement. They had stared at the dice cup enthusiastically, looking forward to the instant of turning it over during the gambling session. Most of the time, however, the gamblers would win once and lose nine times while the banker took all.

Those who won money from the casino were only one in a million.

While she might look like a gambler today, she was in fact, the banker.

Zhang Tieyuan opened the dice cup, gaze feverish, after shaking the dice cup.

Then, he slapped the table excitedly.

“Two, four, six, twelve on the high. I can’t even lose if I wanted to!”

He dragged all the silver to his side of the table. Holding onto so much silver, Zhang Tieyuan could not help smiling deviously. The corners of his mouth were almost reaching his ears.

Zhang Cuiyun stood in front of her father and said frantically for Qi Qingyao to hear, “Father, no more, we will gamble no more.”

Qi Qingyao shrugged as she spoke carelessly, “Is that it? What a shame.”

“You still want to go? If you do, then I’ll join you~!” Zhang Tieyuan, who had just won consecutive games, was full of excitement. He had no intention of stopping at all.

“What’s a shame?” Zhang Cuiyun asked suspiciously.

Qi Qingyao drew ten pieces from the stack of paper money and placed them in front of him, while she said, “I wanted to continue betting, but I had planned to make a bigger bet this time, one thousand taels!”

“Huh?” The silver and banknotes in Zhang Tieyuan’s arm fell to the ground and Zhang Cuiyun hurriedly crouched down under the table as she began to pick them up nervously.

The others were also in disbelief.

“Eleventh Daughter, have you lost your mind?”

“Qi Qingyao, you’ve definitely lost your mind.”

“One thousand taels… you must be joking. You could buy the entire village with that.”

“You could buy a two-doored house with a small yard in Qingzhou City with one thousand taels.”

One hundred taels was quite an insane amount for ordinary folk, let alone one thousand. The ordinary people in these small rural villages had never seen so much money. Yongchang Bank was the most well-known bank in Northern Liang! They also allowed money exchange nationwide!

They were too poor.

They at most only had a string, or two, or three of mace at home. They were not even eligible to exchange them for paper money…

Zhang Cuiyun also felt a rush of blood to her head today and could not completely quell her desire for the one thousand taels. However, she was still a little calmer and persuaded, “Father, we really shouldn’t gamble anymore. Let’s call it a day! Let’s not gamble anymore.”

Zhang Tieyuan looked at the ten pieces of paper money and his head was filled with the thought of the one thousand taels. He said, “Cuiyun, I will bet this last round! Just this last one. Once I win the thousand taels, I’ll call it quits. What do you say?”

“But…” Zhang Cuiyun felt that this was a bottomless pit, but she also thought about how there was a mountain of gold before them, and how it would be foolish for them to let such an opportunity slip past their fingers.

On the left, there were 172 taels and on the right, there were 1172 taels.

If they won, they would have 1172 taels.

If they lost, it would be as if they had never gambled at all…

It seemed worth it.

Zhang Tieyuan was experiencing an adrenaline rush as if he had been injected with chicken blood, “What’s the ‘but’ to this? Look at how I’m going to defeat this little girl until she has nothing left.”

Saying this, he pushed the 172 taels into the center.

He exclaimed boldly, “I’m all in for this bet.”

Qi Qingyao smiled innocently. She glanced at Zhang Cuiyun, who seemed to have some doubts about this, and then back at Zhang Tieyuan who had gone mad from gambling. She raised her eyebrows, “Uncle Zhang, you aren’t kind at all. I’ve bet a thousand taels but you’re only betting the 172 taels that I lost to you. This bet is not fair at all. No way, no, I won’t bet with you.”
