Chapter 433: Stay with me to the end
Cheng Kun was watching coldly from the side. He brought a lot of silver from home today and borrowed some from Cheng Yun'er, just to prepare for these two idiots.
Have fun, have fun as much as you can. The happier you laugh now, the uglier you will cry later.
The table was surrounded by people watching the fun, bustling about and talking non-stop, most of them envious of the two brothers.
"These two gentlemen are really lucky today. They won so much in one night."
"That's right. Look at the pile of silver on the table. Who wouldn't be jealous?"
"Do you have their luck? We can only watch and don't even think about it."
"These two gentlemen look unfamiliar, but they are really lucky."
Everyone was talking at the same time, praising the two brothers as the best that anyone could say.
Listening to the compliments from the crowd, Si Chengren and Si Chengyi felt as if they had suddenly become the most powerful people in the entire casino, and became even more complacent.
The casino is unpredictable. I don’t know if it’s because Si Chengyi’s luck has run out, but he actually starts to slowly take out gold.
I didn’t feel anything when I was winning, but when I started losing, I immediately felt bad, and the more I lost, the bigger I bet.
They always feel that they can win it back in the next round, so they still play the game of shaking the dice, but their attitude becomes more and more cautious. After the dealer shakes the dice, the two of them will always discuss for a long time.
The young man opposite didn't take winning or losing seriously at all, as if he was losing someone else's money, and would make provocative remarks from time to time.
Because Cheng Kun came specifically to gamble, he brought more than 1,000 taels of silver, which he lent to the two brothers in the end, but it was still not enough.
Si Chengren and Si Chengyi were already obsessed with gambling. Si Chengren's initial caution was thrown out of the window. If he didn't have money, he would borrow it from the gambling house. He could win it back soon anyway.
With this mentality, he first borrowed 1,000 taels from the gambling house. He knew that the interest rate of the gambling house was very high, but the gambling house also had its own rules. If the money was borrowed and returned on the same night, there would be no interest to pay.
So, just like borrowing from Cheng Kun, didn’t I return the money I borrowed just now? Anyway, I’m lucky tonight. If I miss this opportunity, I don’t know when the next time will be.
They were lucky and, as expected, they soon earned one thousand taels of silver. However, they did not rush to pay the silver back, but continued to use it as principal.
Then they earned another two thousand taels. Faced with the huge sum of three thousand taels, the two brothers' eyes were filled with enthusiasm. They had already started thinking about how to spend the money.
After paying back one thousand taels, he still had two thousand taels of silver in his hand. At this moment, Si Chengren's mind became clear for a moment. He tugged at Si Chengyi's sleeve and said in a low voice.
"It's getting late today, why don't we go back? This silver is enough for the two of us brothers to squander for a long time."
"If you want to go back, go back. Don't you see that I'm lucky now? I finally met a sucker. You'll never get it again if you miss this opportunity." Si Chengyi refused without thinking.
Is he mentally ill? If he doesn't play at this time, he would just be throwing his money away. Others can't even ask for this luck, so he can't waste it.
Si Chengren actually didn't really want to go back, but there was too much money and he felt uneasy. In the end, desire overcame reason.
Who doesn't like money? Of course, the more the better.
Before they knew it, the two of them were betting bigger and bigger, and in the end, they were betting five hundred taels each time. Because they had won so many times before, even if they lost money later, they would always think that they could win it back later.
Cheng Kun only brought more than one thousand taels, which was obviously not enough for their current needs. Cheng Kun didn't have it, but the gambling house did.
He borrowed another 5,000 taels of silver from the gambling house. They made quite a bit of noise here, attracting everyone's attention.
Everyone stopped playing and crowded over to their side, surrounding them in three layers inside and three layers outside, all coming to watch the fun.
"It's been a while since I've seen such a generous man. I'm really lucky today. Fortunately, I'm here."
"Who said it wasn't? This must be the young master of a big family, otherwise how could he have so much money?"
"You don't even need to tell me that. If it were an ordinary family, who would dare to ask to borrow five thousand taels of silver? That's five thousand taels, not fifty taels. They wouldn't even blink an eye."
"These two gentlemen are really lucky today. I see they won a lot. If I had their luck, I would also dare to lend money to the gambling house."
"You just know how to brag. I think you should go home and sleep. Dreams become reality faster."
"Hahaha, hahaha." Several people laughed at the same time?
The person who had just spoken touched his nose awkwardly and said nothing more.
Si Chengren and Si Chengyi suddenly became the focus of the whole audience. They straightened their bodies and pretended to be rich young masters. They casually took out a silver note worth five hundred taels and placed it on the bet position.
The young man opposite raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and looked at them with disdain with his eyes squinted. Then he reached into his arms, and the next moment, a thick stack of silver bills appeared in front of everyone.
After slapping the banknotes on the table, the young man stood up from his seat, supported himself on the table with both hands, and raised his head proudly.
"I have a lot of banknotes with me today. If you have the ability, just use it. I will accompany you to the end."
"Okay, since you think the money is too much, we two brothers will help you." Si Chengren's pupils shrank. How much money would it take to get such a thick banknote? He swallowed unconsciously.
I have already begun to imagine how glorious his future life will be with this money.
He could buy a house and some land outside, so why would he need to stay in the mansion and live on the fifty taels of silver every month?
Not only Si Chengren, but everyone who saw the stack of banknotes was shocked. It really proved the saying that comparison makes one feel dreadful.
We are all the same people, why do they have so much money? Then I look at myself and find that I can't even take out ten taels of silver from my body. I am so angry that I want to bang my head.
The young man seemed to be accustomed to this kind of scene. Listening to the sour words from others, he became even more arrogant.
With these five thousand taels of silver in their hands, Si Chengren and Si Chengyi could be said to have no fear at all. Although they had less silver than the other party, sooner or later those banknotes would become theirs.
With this beautiful dream in mind, the two started again with full confidence.
The whole gambling house was in an uproar, and the owner of the gambling house also came over in person. A small gambling house like theirs usually doesn't have many people.
Occasionally, there are two rich young men, but this is the first time that they are as grand as today.
We must keep a close eye on it and make sure nothing goes wrong.
