Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2245: Chapter 2242: Winning It Back

The demeanor was intimate when speaking to the gambler beside him, as if they were acquainted.

It was evident that this person had been frequenting the gambling den for quite some time.

Although slightly surprised to see Chu Heng’s subordinate, since they were colleagues and not her own men, she merely glanced at him before retracting her gaze.

Tang Dongfeng had already commenced gambling.

Ye Muyu and Liuye quietly stood by his side.

An hour later.

The casino on the second floor was rather quiet.

Only Tang Dongfeng remained, laughing triumphantly, holding a stack of banknotes in his hand, "Today is indeed my lucky day, I shall gladly accept these one thousand taels."

"Thank you all for your company."

"However, enjoying alone isn’t as good as sharing joy together, so, each of you gets a hundred taels. If you lose money, don’t mind it, come back and play again tomorrow."

The few merchants who had lost money, losing at least two hundred taels each, were initially infuriated by his triumphant laughter. Unexpectedly, Tang Dongfeng was so generous, they exchanged puzzled looks but quickly accepted the reality, as having more friends on the same path is better than having more enemies.

Moreover, he had made his intention clear. Although a hundred taels didn’t compensate for the loss, in the casino, being able to give away money showed magnanimity.

The few of them stood up, smiling and complimenting, "Master Tang, you’re too kind. How can we accept these silver taels, but we’ll definitely be friends."

Those quicker to react, smilingly, established connections with Tang Dongfeng.

Tang Dongfeng smiled and shook hands with them, appearing amiable. Of course, his crafty demeanor didn’t escape the crowd’s notice, yet his straightforward behavior indeed earned their favor.

In the business world, what people fear most is someone without credibility.

They departed.

Tang Dongfeng put away the banknotes.

Patted the shoulder of the steward who had just come over, "Mr. Steward, you’ve worked hard today, I’ll be back tomorrow."

Saying this, without waiting for the steward to ask him to stay, he turned and left the casino.

Fifteen minutes later.

The three returned to the Chu family.

Ye Muyu didn’t rush to change clothes.

Sitting in the living room, she picked up the tea brought by Su Mei, slowly drinking to quench her thirst.

"Lady, the banknotes." Tang Dongfeng handed the banknotes to her.

Ye Muyu only took six hundred taels, leaving the remaining four hundred to be recorded by Su Mei.

"Thank you for your hard work, why not stay for dinner tonight." Ye Muyu was in a good mood as the money lost at the casino was returned.

However, most were from the gamblers’ hands.

The casino barely took out a hundred taels.

This was not what Ye Muyu wished to see.

Tang Dongfeng readily agreed, "Then I won’t stand on ceremony, are you going with me again tomorrow, Lady?"

"Yes." Ye Muyu uttered a word, her face unchanged, only the corner of her eye slightly lifted, "Such a good opportunity, wouldn’t it be a waste not to seize it."

"Haha, exactly, who knows what’s hiding behind this casino, it’s certainly not anything good, we might as well win more silver taels, I’ll certainly take this money, besides, with your good fortune, Lady, I won two hundred taels today as well."

Tang Dongfeng truly admired Ye Muyu, not caring much about silver taels.

Since he started working for the Chu family, he never lacked money for spending.

In fact, his work went more smoothly than ever; compared to silver, he found more satisfaction in his current life.

"Hmm, if you’re willing to learn, I can teach you the techniques." Ye Muyu said.

Tang Dongfeng was somewhat surprised, "Lady, if you teach me, wouldn’t it starve the teacher?"

"How could it?" Ye Muyu raised an eyebrow.
