C1 Transmigration Is a Technical Job
The spring of the twenty-third year of Shenwu.
In the early spring, the willow tree had just germinated. The cold wind was still biting when it hit her body, and the first thing Su Yunchuan did when she was woken up by the chaos of crying and shouting was to cover her lower abdomen.
The next second, she opened her eyes. The rough linen clothes in her palm woke her up. Did it hurt?
Didn't she get stabbed in the stomach when she was catching robbers? Why didn't she feel anything?
"My poor son!"
Mrs Su's thin and weak body laid on Su Yunchuan's body as she wailed, "Your father's corpse hasn't even turned cold yet, and this pack of jackals has already set their eyes on us orphans and widows. How do you expect your mother to live!"
Only then did Su Yunchuan realize that she was lying on the ground. She blinked, and a pile of memories that did not belong to her suddenly surged into her mind.
She was now the daughter of an ordinary family in the Shen Wu year, and her father was a bailiff who lived on public food. Three months ago, she was wrongly killed because of a corruption case.
There was also a married brother, Su Tunan, and a five-year-old brother below Su Yunchuan. Because they were poor, the family of seven had never split up.
Unexpectedly, after yamen runner Su's death, Mrs Su fell ill from excessive sorrow. Her originally not-so-rich family became even worse, and Su Tunan was taken to the casino in order to earn money to treat his mother's illness.
In the previous few times, Su Tunan had won more than he lost, and his desire had grown stronger and stronger. Today, he was even more desperate.
Right now, these bullies in the family were driving their family away, and even wanted to take away his sister-in-law, Liu Mulan, and her three-year-old daughter!
Seven or eight burly men squeezed into the small courtyard. There were even people leaning against the door to watch the show.
Su Yunchuan had fainted because she had stopped them from taking away her sister-in-law and niece.
Su Yunchuan frowned as she tried to figure out what had happened. She had often met gamblers in the modern world.
Su Tunan was sitting on the ground with his clothes all over the place, and Mrs Su was crying while hugging her three-year-old daughter. His eyes were glazed, and suddenly he jumped up from the ground and roared fiercely in front of the bully:
"You guys cheated! You definitely cheated! I want to report this to the authorities! You scoundrels!"
"Oh my, the son of the bailiff Su is really good. Why didn't he say that we were cheating when he won the money? He doesn't want to admit that he lost the money and call us rascals. Go to the neighbors and ask them when did our casino do such a rascally thing?"
The leader of the bullies was called Ma San, an orphan without parents. He had been adopted by the casino since he was young.
He glared fiercely at Su Tunan, stretched out his leg and kicked Su Tunan's thigh, and ordered: "Hurry up and chase these old ladies out, leave Su Da's bet behind!"
The Su family members cried again, and the onlookers pointed at them.
"This Su Da is really useless. How could he go to that kind of place? This time, even his wife and daughter lost their lives. I think if yamen runner Su is still alive, he will be angered to death. "
" Let's not talk about anything else - even Yunchuan wouldn't be able to find a good family now, would she? Just as Xiang Wan was about to die, something like this happened - how could any good family be willing to marry her? What a pity... "
Surrounding the small courtyard of the Su family, the neighbors talked to each other. It was very lively.
Mrs Su's body softened under this change of events, her eyes rolled back and she fainted. Su Tunan crawled over on his knees again and hugged her, crying.
"Ah! Someone died!"
A sharp shout pierced her eardrums. Perhaps the commotion here had finally attracted the attention of the government, and a few bailiffs finally rushed over.
"Make way, make way. What is going on?"
When Ma San saw who it was, he bowed and moved closer, "Your Highness, you see, we are doing things according to the rules. This Su Da lost a thousand taels of silver at our place."
The bailiff who was called Prince was obviously dissatisfied with Ma San. He frowned and pushed Ma San a little further away, "Get lost, I know you!"
"Hey, Prince, look, I have a contract here. This signing and signing was voluntary by Su Da. We didn't bet with him!"
Ma San took out a paper from his pocket and handed it to yamen runner Wang. Yamen runner Wang looked at it and shook the paper in front of Su Tunan, "Did you sign this yourself?"
There was a moment of silence as everyone stared at Su Tunan. He stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly reached out his hand to take the note back. Ma San quickly took it back and gave him a kick.
"Look at this man, he doesn't even want to admit his own words." Ma San changed his smile to yamen runner Wang, "Look, can we take him away?"
"No! I didn't want to mortgage my wife! It's them! They lied to me! The Zhuang family clearly told me that I had a 90% chance of winning! They cheated me! Otherwise, I wouldn't have gambled! " Su Tunan's eyes were bloodshot as he roared at the top of his lungs.
Su Yunchuan secretly shook her head. Her brother still did not understand how she fell into the trap.
After watching such a big show, she finally understood some things. No matter what time it was, casinos were always in the dark. As long as there was no evidence that the casino had cheated, the government couldn't do anything to them.
Sure enough, yamen runner Wang only shook his head and waved his hand to signal his subordinates to leave.
"Wait."
Su Yunchuan let her big brother carry the unconscious Mrs Su. She patted the dirt off her body and stood up like a flower facing the wind.
"My big brother is not as skilled as the others, and our Su family has always been open and aboveboard. This time, we were deliberately set up, and it's all our fault. But now I want to bet with you again. I don't know if you dare to accept."
Su Yunchuan's expression was indifferent and neither servile nor overbearing. Her words caused an uproar.
"They are really blinded by ghosts. They still dare to continue gambling? I think they really don't want to live anymore!"
"Still gambling? What else do you want to bet on? " Ma San sneered: "Little lady, although your brother gambled without your sister-in-law, your brother has a conscience and did not use you as a bet. Since it has come to this, you should take your mother and brother and leave quickly. Even if you want to gamble, what else do you have to gamble with?"
"Just take me."
There was a reason why Su Yunchuan dared to say this.
Long ago, when Yamen runner Su was still alive, he had already betrothed Su Yunchuan to a family. That person was the only son of the Suzhou Fortune Gang. The two of them were betrothed before they were born.
However, the Su family knew about these things. Originally, when Mrs Su was seriously ill, Su Yunchuan had suggested that Big Brother bring the engagement token to Suzhou, but Su Tunan was afraid that the other party would want to break off the engagement, so he refused to joke about his sister's innocence.
The only thing to blame was that the man had never walked around here. Yamen runner Su could only assume that his brother did not want to keep his promise, but he was too embarrassed to mention it, so the two families gradually lost contact.
But now, this would become Su Yunchuan's biggest trump card.
She took out the half piece of jade shaped like a parasol tree that hung around her neck. The symbol of the Xie family's fortune was the parasol tree flower.
"This token is the engagement token that my father gave me."
