Chapter 334 Good Things Come in Pairs
337. Good things come in pairs
After Tang Wen left, Zhou Qi had no intention of continuing the conversation with Xu San. He simply found an excuse to say that he had something to do at work and left alone, leaving Xu San alone in the wind.
Actually, it’s not Xu San’s fault that he is not good enough, but the difference in their “status” is a bit too big. A woman like Zhou Qi is not someone he can control.
To put it bluntly, a woman like Zhou Qi would rather be a concubine to a rich man than be Xu San’s legal wife. That’s the difference.
After leaving the house, Tang Wen really received Zhou Qi’s active “greetings”, and after a few perfunctory words, Tang Wen planned to drive away, after all, fish still need to be raised for a while.
Just as Tang Wen was about to leave, a short-haired young woman with a minimum height of 180cm entered Tang Wen’s field of vision. She was wearing a leather miniskirt, flesh-colored stockings on her legs, a pair of high boots, and a black knitted sweater on top.
Oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, delicate red lips, light makeup on her face, what a perfect young woman. Tang Wen's eyes lit up and he stopped.
She was carrying a small bag and walked past Tang Wen and went directly to a mahjong hall next to her.
"Interesting, very good posture." Tang Wen said with a smile.
Tang Wen didn't think much and followed her.
After entering the mahjong hall, Tang Wen saw the young woman's location at a glance. There were three people missing one, so Tang Wen pretended to walk to her opposite side casually.
After seeing Tang Wen, the other two (old ladies) asked enthusiastically.
"Handsome guys, do you want to play? 5 yuan."
Tang Wen nodded, and then sat down opposite the short-haired young woman.
"Kotoko, are you the banker?"
The young woman called Kotoko nodded and said, "Today I will win back everything I lost yesterday."
After sitting down, Tang Wen was dumbfounded. He didn't know how to play mahjong at all. However, after a few rounds, Tang Wen had lost hundreds of dollars. The two aunts next to him were all smiling, only the young woman opposite Tang Wen had a gloomy face.
After a few rounds, she and Tang Wen lost, but a few hundred dollars was just a drop in the bucket for Tang Wen. Tang Wen, who gradually understood the rules, began to deliberately let the young woman opposite him win.
After letting her win a few rounds, Tang Wen gradually learned that the young woman opposite him was called Li Qin, a cosmetics salesperson at RT-Mart Supermarket. She usually came here to play mahjong when she was not at work.
The two aunts next to him were "old-timers" nearby who spent the whole day in the mahjong hall. After several people "fought" until the evening, Tang Wen yawned and said, "I don't want to play anymore. It's boring to go home for dinner."
Seeing that Tang Wen, the fat sheep, was about to leave, several people tried their best to "keep him". Jokingly, the two aunts had won more than two thousand dollars from Tang Wen in the afternoon, and even Li Qin won more than a hundred.
How could he let this "fat sheep" go? Tang Wen deliberately yawned and said, "The last round, go home and eat after playing."
"Okay, Xiao Tang, don't worry, it's the last round."
"Yes, yes."
Li Qin also nodded and said, "Then let's do the last round."
In the last round, Tang Wen deliberately let the two aunts next to him go, and as a result, one of them fished for the moon in the bottom of the sea and the other made Li Qin lose hundreds of dollars in an instant. Tang Wen, the "culprit", also lost a lot.
For Tang Wen, this is just a small amount of money, but for Li Qin, this is her weekly food allowance. Although her face was not good, she saw that Tang Wen had lost so much, so she didn't say much.
When Tang Wen decided to leave, the three of them added each other to MQ and discussed to play together next time when they were free. After Tang Wen got MQ from Li Qin's workplace, he didn't want to continue playing here, so he returned to his parking place and planned to leave.
The two aunts felt that Tang Wen felt a little "sorry" for losing so much today, so they insisted on treating Tang Wen to a hot pot. In fact, they were afraid that Tang Wen would not play with them in the future. They were joking about where to find such a good "card partner".
At the dinner table, Tang Wen, who had something to hide, found out Li Qin's "family background" in one sentence after another. Li Qin is 32 years old this year, and because she takes good care of herself, she looks like she is in her 20s.
Her husband is a business owner, and she has a son, but her parents-in-law have always taken care of him in their hometown. She usually works the day shift, but recently the supermarket is expanding, and their cosmetics department is on break, so she has been in the mahjong hall during this period.
Although Li Qin's clothes are "generous and decent" on the surface, in fact, her life is quite "bad".
The aunt who won the most today was called Wang Sufang. She sighed and said, "Qinzi's husband hates her playing mahjong. The couple has quarreled countless times."
Another aunt Liu Ru said, "That's right. She has to eat steamed buns and pickles at home, but she still comes out to play mahjong all day long and the minimum bet is more than 5 yuan."
Although these two aunts have some "sympathy" for Li Qin, they are merciless at the card table.
Tang Wen pretended to be surprised and said, "That's the case. I thought Sister Qin's family was quite rich."
Wang Sufang said disdainfully, "Rich? What kind of money? Her house is still rented. Although our family is not rich, at least the house is ours."
"That's right, her family is still renting a residential area behind the Fuli Building. It seems to be on the second floor. I heard it's a small single room." Liu Ru also interrupted.
After eating and drinking, the two aunts "repeatedly told" Tang Wen to come to join a "game" next time before reluctantly leaving.
A hot pot meal cost more than 200 yuan, and they won at least 2,000 yuan from Tang Wen today.
There is an unwritten rule in Xiangfu. After the card game, the one who wins the most will usually take care of the meal. If they play cards in a hotel, the room fee will be paid by the one who wins the most money.
Tang Wen did not expect that such a "rule" would allow him to understand Li Qin's "family background" clearly. Now that there is a place, it will be easy, right?
"Hehe, kill two birds with one stone." Tang Wen smiled with narrowed eyes.
After driving back to school, Zhou Qi still sent messages to Tang Wen. Tang Wen took a photo of the steering wheel and said to her: "Driving."
Sure enough, Zhou Qi immediately cared: "Okay, you pay attention to safety."
Tang Wen smiled. Sure enough, licking dogs is not gender-specific.
Looking at the two "prey" on the phone, Tang Wen smiled. It seems that he will not be lonely during this long vacation. After all, people still have to find some fun for themselves.
"Ring, ring, ring" the phone rang.
"Old Tang, log in. I found a team to take you to the King level."
Tang Wen: "Oh my god, principal, can you find something to do?"
Xiao Wang: "??? Is it not enough to be the King level?"
"Damn, that's irresponsible." Tang Wen was speechless. In the end, Tang Wen went on the live broadcast to give Xiao Wang a gift of 500,000 yuan, and then Xiao Wang and Qin Feng went to the ranking happily.
