All he cared about was gambling but kept stammering whenever he lost. It wasn't even his own money—just winnings from the last time—so why couldn't it be used?
"You really have the nerve to say that. Oh, it's me who lost money and wants to use Tiantian to gamble again, huh?" Chen Guilan shot Tian Guogui a sideways glance, beginning to hatch her own plan. "Let me ask you, who was playing cards with you?"
"Who else could it be? The same old lot from our area who love gambling. Li Xiaoqin's father, some of her relatives from the village—it used to include her uncle, but her uncle's gone off to Dongzhen to work now."
Chen Guilan lowered her head, deep in thought.
"Dad, Mom, what's going on?" Tian Tian's soft voice came from the doorway.
