1013: Chapter 1013: Betting (20) 1013: Chapter 1013: Betting (20) A sign was set up at that place, with several papers pasted on it, listing the number of each eagle, the names of the participants, and the betting odds.
Since not everyone was literate, there was a lad constantly explaining by the side.
âWhat are the odds for Fatso Hao?â Yang Ruxin poked Gu Qingheng, unable to help it because there were too many people in front, and she was too short to see clearly.
âXiaohei is number six, currently at three to one.â
âThat low?â Yang Ruxin frowned, even if she bet just one piece of silver, she would only win three pieces, oh, and she wouldnât even get the full three; sheâd still have to give the gambling house a 20 percent commission.
âThat beast hasnât even joined in.â Gu Qingheng chuckled.
Yang Ruxin lightly arched her eyebrows, that person wasnât dumb at all.
At this moment, some people who had made their bets left, freeing up space, and finally, Yang Ruxin made her way to the front and could clearly see the content on the sign.
The most popular was number eight, with odds of ten to one, and then there was number three, at eight to one, who was actually last yearâs eagle-fighting champion, and the ownerâs name wasâŠ
Jiang Lilei?
All three beauties had such good names, Jiang Lilei Beast is so cheap!
Pfft!
She couldnât help but want to burst into laughter.
âHere, Iâll bet on number six with ten thousand pieces of silver.â Just then, a fat man pushed his way in and slapped a silver note for ten thousand pieces on the table.
Yang Ruxin gave the fat man a surprised glance, he has such good taste?
âYoung Master Qin?
Are you sure?â The old man taking the bets smiled and glanced at Qin Shou, âLast year, Young Master Hao was knocked out in the first roundâŠâ
Young Master Qin?
Beast?
This kid was not only not dumb but quite clever, knowing Xiaohei was formidable.
He not only opted out but also wanted to capitalize on Xiaohei to make silver.
âSure, surely sure,â Qin Shou said, waving his hand, âIâm in such good relations with Fatso Hao, alright?
Since Iâm not participating this year, I have to support him.
Even if I lose, Iâm willing toâŠâ
âAlright!â The old man happily accepted the silver note, then handed a receipt to Qin Shou, âYoung Master Qin, take good care of this, and may you make a fortune!â
Qin Shou then happily ran off with his servant.
Yang Ruxin smiled and then squeezed out of the crowd, handing a stack of silver notes to Wengweng, âYou go and bet on number six too.â
Without asking anything, Wengweng turned around and went back in.
The folks in the gambling house were now stunned.
Last year, Fatso Hao was scrubbed in the first round.
The people who bet on him almost cursed him to death, but what was happening this year?
Young Master Qin might be understandable, but who was this stranger who has a relationship with Young Master Hao?
âI am a relative of the Hao Family,â Wengweng said with a grin, sweeping a glance over everyone, âIf no one bets, wouldnât my young master lose face?
Letâs have an unspoken understandingâŠâ
People heaved a sigh of relief; heâs just betting on his own, right?
Perfect, thatâs what the gambling house loves: after all, itâs the gambling house that makes the silver.
Meanwhile, Yang Ruxin was looking at the other gambling tables around, most of them were betting big or small, each one bursting with excitement, making her shake her head.
Everyone wanted to get rich overnight without working for it, but alas, where in the world would there be such good things?
Sadly, many people just didnât understand, and in the end, they could only end up bankrupt.
âWanna give it a try?â Gu Qingheng noticed Yang Ruxin was fascinated and couldnât resist suggesting.
Yang Ruxin shook her head, âNine out of ten gamblers lose, why should I give my silver to the gambling house?â
Gu Qingheng laughed, âI have silver.â
âYours is also mine,â Yang Ruxin glared, âIâm telling you, to stay far away from viceâŠâ
âVice?â
âYou know, visiting prostitutes, gambling, that sort of thing,â Yang Ruxin slightly raised her eyebrows, âotherwiseâŠâ
