The bungalow in front of the family compound belonged to a young widow. Her husband also worked at a textile factory.
Later, her husband died of illness. She didn't like working anymore, so she bought some Pai Gow, Chang Pai, and Mahjong, and started a business of providing people with cards to play.
She had a bad reputation, and the women in the family compound hated it most when their men went there to play cards.
But how can we control it
As soon as Chuxia approached the bungalow, she could smell the strong smell of cigarette smoke coming from inside, as well as the voices of various men talking excitedly.
The door was not locked, so Chuxia pushed it open and went in.
She hasn't recovered yet, and she looks pale and thin, which is a bit scary. When people first see her, the first thing they notice is not her appearance, but whether she has some serious illness.
People who play cards have a hobby of playing cards. They are so engrossed in it that they don’t care who comes in. When they look up and see that it is not their wife, they lower their heads and continue to play happily.
There were only five or six tables of people in the yard. Chu Xia saw her eldest brother at a glance. He had lost all his cowardly look at home. He was smoking a cigarette and staring at the cards in his hand with red eyes. He looked crazy, just like a gambler.
If this were a big casino, he would definitely be the type who gambled irrationally and lost everything.
Chu Xia walked over and patted Brother Luo on the shoulder: "Brother."
When Brother Luo heard Luo Chuxia's voice, he was startled and looked up in fear and asked, "Chuxia? Why are you here?"
He quickly looked towards the door and breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see his mother and wife.
Then he said impatiently: "What are you doing here? Go find mom if you have something to ask."
"Brother, the house."
Chuxia just said this, and Brother Luo couldn't play the card anymore.
He scratched his head irritably: "Second sister, what on earth do you want to do?"
"Are you sure you want me to say this here?"
Chu Xia looked at him with a half-smile, then looked at the expressions of the men at the surrounding table who were ready to read the gossip. Brother Luo waved his hand and stood up.
"I have something to do today so I won't fight. Let's settle the money. Go wait for me outside."
Making sure he would come out, Chu Xia nodded and walked out, but she didn't go far, she just stood at the door and watched.
Just then, Widow Yang was seen coming out carrying a thermos bottle. She walked gracefully with a gentle smile on her face, which was the look most popular among men.
Chu Xia thought: No wonder her business is so successful and no one bothers her. Widow Yang is obviously not an ordinary woman.
But this has nothing to do with her.
But the next second, Chuxia took back her thoughts.
Widow Yang walked up to Brother Luo and asked with a smile, "Why did you leave so early today, Brother Luo?"
Brother Luo suddenly calmed down and said with a simple smile, "My second sister has something to ask me."
"Then have a cup of tea before you go. It's just been cooled down and has tea leaves in it."
When Brother Luo took the tea from Widow Yang, he held her hand and touched it, which earned him a seductive glare from Widow Yang.
Brother Luo drank the tea in one gulp, and the smile on his face never faded.
Chu Xia: This Brother Luo is a two-faced person. He is cowardly and weak at home, and looks like he has no idea what to do. But when he goes out, he even flirts with the young widow.
