Chapter 191 2 years
Two years is neither long nor short.
Some things were put on hold due to uncontrollable factors, while some things progressed rapidly.
After the two of them had a heart-to-heart talk that day, Xu Shu immediately sent someone to send Du Wanbai and his family away, and let Mu Jinghua go before he could open his eyes.
However, Du Xiaocao was reluctant to leave, and even said to Du Wanbai, who was dying, in a rare move: "I don't recognize you as my brother."
Aunt Du was in a dilemma, so Xu Shu gave Du Xiaocao a chance to go to Muyi Tower.
Later, Mu Jinghua found out that Du Xiaocao had not left, so he immediately took Du Xiaocao home, saying that he wanted him and Caidie to take care of the household affairs together.
Xu Shu didn't care. He was busy with the opening of Muyi Building during that time and even forgot about Qiao Jianhong who was locked up in the cellar by him.
Although he didn't mean to do it, he was actually very happy to see Qiao Jianhong in such a state of disgrace.
His original plan was to cut off whichever hand was holding Mu Jinghua.
But when I saw Qiao Jianhong's face that day, pale and almost fainted because he hadn't had a drop of water for three days, I suddenly had a better idea.
He specially asked Xu Shi, who was still studying how to make a pot, to make a pair of heavy anklets for Qiao Jianhong. After giving them to Qiao Jianhong, he sent him to work in the fields with Qu Xiu.
Although Qiao Jianhong was a bad boy, he was still a nobleman after all. Making him do farm work like a prisoner was really an insult to his personality.
But he was not the kind of warrior who was willing to sacrifice his life for justice. After Xu Shu starved him for two more days, he changed his mind and agreed. However, he always liked to secretly find Mu Jinghua to say bad things about Xu Shu.
Xu Shu didn't care about these things at all.
But Mu Jinghua cared a lot. At the beginning, he didn't bother with him because Qiao Jianhong knew his father.
But after hearing him say it twice, he could no longer control his temper and threatened to cut off his tongue and soak it in wine. He did it right away and immediately asked several other workers to pin Qiao Jianhong to the ground.
Qiao Jianhong was lucky as he happened to run into Qi Huairen passing by.
Although Qi Huairen and him were not close, they had some friendship after all. Moreover, Qi Huairen was always soft-hearted, so he persuaded Mu Jinghua to let Qiao Jianhong go this time.
Qiao Jianhong never said bad things about Xu Shu again. However, every time he saw Mu Jinghua, he couldn't help but sigh, looking hurt: "Little ancestor, your temper has been getting worse and worse recently."
Xu Shu didn't like what he heard again. How could his little Mu Jin deserve other people's guidance?
And Xu Shu is really good at bullying people.
Since Qi Huairen, a doctor who couldn't stand seeing people get injured, lived at home, Xu Shu found a widower in Shiqiao Village, gave him a large sum of money, and asked Qiao Jianhong to marry him.
It seems that because there are men in this world, people are particularly unacceptable to men marrying each other.
The widower was not surprised. He was blinded by the money and immediately nodded in agreement.
This made Qiao Jianhong very depressed. After learning about Xu Shu's plan, he scolded Xu Shu for three days and three nights.
He is a man of some knowledge, and his insults are never repeated.
Xu Shu just treated it as listening to a song, but it was a little troublesome when he went to sleep at night, as he had to cover Qiao Jianhong's mouth.
On the wedding day, Xu Shu didn't need to invite anyone, as villagers from all over the country would come rushing over after smelling the scent.
On that day, Qiao Jianhong was wearing a wedding dress and was escorted by the people hired by Xu Shu to circle Shiqiao Village three times.
Anyway, there is no face at all.
As for the people Xu Shu found, they were all dug out from the bankrupt gambling houses.
Ever since Jing Yang told him about the current situation of the gambling house that day, he later took the time to visit Li Ziguang.
Although this guy likes to gamble, he is not stupid.
After signing the contract with Xu Shu, Wu Yong told him in the afternoon that his gambling debt had been paid off, so he regained his confidence and returned to the gambling house again.
The people in the gambling house had obviously been waiting for him for a long time, and of course they gave him a lot of benefits in the early stage.
But on the first day Li Ziguang won money, he found someone following him before he even reached his doorstep. Then he thought of his extraordinary talent and immediately realized that it was the people from the gambling house who were secretly observing him.
He considered himself a man of loyalty and righteousness, and Xu Shu was his mentor, so he certainly would not betray Xu Shu. He had originally planned to tell those who had followed him that he had already gone somewhere.
But I didn't expect to run into those people in the gambling house whispering.
It was nothing more than some words calling him stupid, and also explaining the gambling house's future plans - when he got addicted to gambling in the future, they would be able to cheat the land deed from Xu Shu.
Li Ziguang was immediately furious, but after weighing the pros and cons, he knew that he was not good at fighting, so he kept his troops in place and stayed up all night to develop a plan.
Li Ziguang's plan was to prolong the initial "benefits" offered to him by the major gambling houses as long as possible.
He moved around various gambling houses in a confusing manner, making some money in one gambling house today and going to another one tomorrow. No matter how much money he made, he would say that the other gambling house was not as generous as the one next door.
The gambling house he owes more money for land, the more confident that gambling house will be in asking Xu Shu for the land deed.
But if he is not willing to gamble in this casino, then he will have no chance at all.
So upon hearing this, the first reaction of the various gambling houses was naturally to give Li Ziguang more benefits immediately.
But no matter how much money Li Ziguang got, he would always say that it was not as good as the one next door.
Later, when Xu Shu listened to his story, he couldn't help but admire Li Ziguang. This was the man who single-handedly caused all the major gambling houses to start to fold inward.
In short, under Li Ziguang's secret manipulation, all the gambling houses became crazy and lost everything in the end.
Although Li Ziguang later lost all his money in a gambling game, he ran away with the money.
And it would be very easy for Xu Shu to bring down the major gambling houses that have been in danger for a long time.
He didn't even have to wait for Muyi Building to open to publicize the popularity of mahjong. He could just open a gambling house next door and easily bring down the gambling house that had already run out of funds.
However, Xu Shu was not willing to open a gambling house because it was full of smoke and dust.
So he gave those gambling houses some time to be thankful, and only after Muyi Building opened did he open a number of mahjong parlors with lightning speed.
There is no need to say much about the success of Mahjong Hall and Muyi Building. After all, they are modern marketing concepts and marketing methods, and it is difficult not to succeed.
Naturally, there is a lot of money.
When Muyilou first opened, there were some short-sighted guests who wanted to try out whether it was still doing the same things as before.
After Xu Shu broke his legs without saying a word, his strength decreased a lot.
After Xu Shu took over the gambling house, he arranged the gambling house's thugs to work in Muyi Building, and the public security was even better.
Wu Yong and Jiang Xiao both got married, and even Xiao Ran followed suit and held another wedding ceremony with Qin Lianxi.
After running into Qin Lianxi in the carriage, Xiao Ran seemed to have gone to the other extreme.
However, Xu Shu didn't care how he treated Qin Lianxi. He just hoped that Qin Lianxi would stop trying to make his presence known in front of him.
Xiao Ran was obviously very happy about it. On the wedding day, he didn't even invite Xu Shu, but only Wu Yong.
But Wu Yong thought that something good had happened to him, and enthusiastically took Li Zile to attend the county magistrate's wedding. However, when he saw the bride's lifeless eyes and being forced into the wedding sedan like a rag doll, he immediately said that he had something to do at home and left first.
Afterwards, he ran to Shiqiao Village to find Xu Shu, intending to continue his vacation which was interrupted last time.
But when he heard that Jiang Xiao was going to settle down in Shiqiao Village, he immediately shouted, "Why don't I buy a piece of land here, too, so that I can honor my father-in-law."
