Chapter 1752: He’d Definitely Be Delighted

However, since they had the money from selling ginseng, the Chen family did not need to panic.

There was no problem with their livelihood, so Li Gouzi and Bai Yiqiao could be properly dealt with.

Now, Li Gouzi and Bai Yiqiao were in a physical relationship. With Li Gouzi’s rogue temperament, he would definitely implicate Bai Yiqiao.

Bai Yiqiao was the owner of a restaurant. If Li Gouzi found out, he’d definitely be delighted.

In the middle of the night, Ning Shu went to Li Gouzi’s house and found that he was not at home. Who knew where he went?

If her guess was right, now that he had a relationship with Bai Yiqiao, he would already be extorting Bai Yiqiao for money.

Li Gouzi, just like Ning Shu guessed, was now at the gambling parlor, holding the money given to him by Bai Yiqiao.

He had a hundred taels of silver in his hands. Li Gouzi hadn’t gone to repay the loan shark. He first visited the bank to exchange for silver, then went to eat exotic delicacies and play with two brothel girls.

Ah! When he noticed that there was not much money left in his hands, he wanted to gamble to win it all back. There were no surprises, though. He lost it all.

Once he ran out of money, Li Gouzi went to get another high-interest loan and continued to gamble. In the end, he was thrown out of the gambling parlor.

Li Gouzi, who had no money, instantly remembered that he had not yet repaid the loan shark. On top of that, he owed another one hundred taels. He couldn’t help scratching his head, and then he remembered that his hands and feet were about to be chopped off. Imagine how much that would hurt.

Early the following day, Li Gouzi returned to the village like a bat out of hell and ran over to Bai Yiqiao.

Bai Yiqiao was very anxious now because she had done something unworthy of Fang Yong. As a result, she treated Fang Yong more gently and tenderly.

She was afraid of being abandoned, afraid that she would repeat her last life, afraid that Fang Yong would find out the truth and that he would be unhappy. Before, Bai Yiqiao had a little temperament and attitude, a playful delight between husband and wife. Now, she didn’t know how to act in front of him anymore.

She could only stay humble, very, very humble.

Fang Yong couldn’t help but feel that Bai Yiqiao was acting strange. Finally, he asked, “What’s the matter with you?”

Bai Yiqiao trembled when she heard his voice. She said with a smile, “Nothing.”

Fang Yong just furrowed his brows and shook his head. “You’ve lost weight recently, and your face has also lost all its color. I’ll do the chores at home. Are you not feeling well?”

Bai Yiqiao touched her face while suppressing the panic in her heart. She said with a smile, “It’s okay. It’s probably too hot, and so I have no energy.”

Fang Yong assumed that Bai Yiqiao couldn’t stand the hot weather. He urged her like a caring husband. “Don’t stand under the sun. If you can’t do any more work, just wait for me to do it. Once I kill the white tiger, I’ll buy you some breathable fabric to make clothes.”

It was too hot to wear clothes made of coarse linen.

Bai Yiqiao looked at Fang Yong. Everything was afraid of comparison, and people were no exceptions. Li Gouzi blackmailed her, as if to suck her blood dry, but Fang Yong was really good to her.

She definitely could not lose Fang Yong.

“Tigers are very dangerous. If you can’t kill it, just run away,” said Bai Yiqiao with concern to Fang Yong.

After Fang Yong left, Bai Yiqiao saw that Li Gouzi had come to find her again. She felt scared of what he would do next. Upon learning that he was asking for another two hundred taels, Bai Yiqiao felt murderous intent arise in her heart.

“Didn’t I give you a hundred taels to repay the loan sharks?” A metallic taste appeared at the back of Bai Yiqiao’s throat, she felt like she was on the brink of spitting blood.

Li Gouzi said, “One hundred taels were not enough at all. There is interest on top of interest. I wanted to use the one hundred taels to gamble and pay the interest.”

Bai Yiqiao was dizzy with anger.

Li Gouzi was a scum, a complete piece of trash!

“Sister-in-law Bai, can you help me pay back the money?” Li Gouzi said, “As long as you help me repay it, I’ll help you deal with Chen Ermei. Chen Ermei will be scorned by everyone.”

“Why should I believe you?” Bai Yiqiao’s heart was filled with all kinds of emotions. She was teeming with anger, resentment, fear, and sorrow.
