Chapter 655
The smell of rice porridge in the air made Ruan Siyi hungry.
How long has it been since he ate?
It was a day before I fell asleep. Now I don't know how many days I have slept.
Qiao fed him spoonful by spoonful. He was in a hurry and choked. Qiao quickly put down the bowl, took a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and patted him on the back.
Ruan Siyi saw that she touched him and wanted to break away, but she held back.
When he was angry with him, Qiao took it and fed him. Ruan Siyi ate silently without saying anything.
"I went to the kitchen and saw that there was only white rice at home, so I cooked porridge and wronged my husband. But it doesn't matter. I asked Chuntao to go to the pawnshop with jewelry and have better food at home when I changed the silver." Qiao whispered with low eyebrows and eyes, turning a blind eye to Ruan Siyi's complex spirit.
After eating, Ruan Siyi said the first sentence when he woke up, "go out, I want to sleep."
Ruan Siyi slept for several days, and Qiao brought him every meal.
On the fifth day, Ruan Siyi finally stepped out of the door and went to the yard. The oncoming sun was dazzling, so he couldn't help blocking it with his hand.
It was a while before he could see the situation around him.
Qiaoshi is sitting there choosing vegetable leaves. Chen's mother is washing clothes and Chuntao is drawing water from the well.
Ruan Siyi has never seen Qiao sitting on the small table, or he may have never seriously seen Qiao before. This is the first time he took the initiative to see Qiao.
A woman he used to hate, a Joe who sat there doing rough work in a silk shirt.
Suddenly there was a violent knock on the door. Mother Xu put down her clothes and wiped her hands to open the door.
"Who are you?"
"Get out of the way, old lady. Let's find Ruan Siyi, fourth master Ruan!"
As he spoke, several big men rushed in.
Qiao was surprised and hid behind Ruan Siyi.
"Fourth master Ruan, when will the money owed to our gambling house be repaid? This day is coming!"
Ruan Siyi was stunned. In a trance, he remembered that he was upset a few days ago, so he went to the gambling house he was used to. Finally, he lost his red eyes and borrowed money from the owner of the gambling house.
"Husband, did you borrow money from the gambling house?"
A small voice came from behind.
Ruan Siyi blushed.
He gambled, but not many times, and never borrowed money, only that time
"How much did my husband lend you?" the woman behind him came out and asked.
"Not much, not much. It's 1500 taels of silver."
"So many?" Qiao's surprised.
Ruan Siyi suddenly realized, "I only borrowed a thousand Liang."
The leading man smiled, "don't forget that this is a rolling profit. If you have exceeded it for so many days, it will naturally be 1500 taels."
"You are bullies!"
"Don't say that, fourth master Ruan. We are just ordinary people. We can't compare with you. You are the famous fourth master Ruan and the son of marquis Jinyang."
"You --"
Qiao said, "come back in two days. We don't have so much silver now. We'll pay you back when we have enough."
"Madam, you don't lie to us?" the big man looked suspicious.
"My wife needs to lie to you? This house alone is more than 1500 Liang!"
"Well, we'll come back in three days. Don't let our brothers return empty handed."
"OK."
The group of big men turned and left. One of them spit on the ground as he walked, "return fourth master Ruan! Let a woman speak, even Lao Tzu!"
Ruan Siyi immediately rushed to his head with blood, glared at Qiao, brushed his sleeve and entered the room.
No matter how angry you are, you should still eat.
