My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

Chapter 549: 549, your wife lost money!

The automatic mahjong table was quickly set up, creating a particularly festive “whoosh” sound.

Huo Jingshen glanced at it, then went upstairs with his cellphone in hand.

He remembered that during his last visit home, the old lady promised to replace the bed and the furniture in his room.

…

The automatic mahjong table was bustling with activity, and the first round ended quickly with the old lady’s winning hand.

A hand adorned with a gold ring pushed the tiles forward. It was a bold move indeed.

“I won! Hahaha! Come on now, 1000 yuan from each of you, quickly transfer it via WeChat!”

Huo Zhexi rolled his eyes, “Grandma, can’t we play higher stakes? 100 yuan per set is too low, don’t you think?”

He was hoping to win a little more money from the bratty girl, but ended up winning only 1000 yuan from the old lady in that round? That’s not right.

The old lady pretended to be angry and glanced at her grandson, “Alright, your sister-in-law is still studying, so let’s play it low key.”

Su Wanwan felt awkward.

1000 yuan is considered a small sum?

Isn’t that a lot?

Her monthly living expenses are only about 3000 yuan, and now, a third of it is already gone.

She’s actually quite poor.

After transferring the money, the second round quickly began.

This time, Huo Zhexi was determined to play a big hand. He racked his brain, calculating the best move.

“Could you hurry up, Xiaosan?” Su Wanwan couldn’t help but knock on the table.

Huo Zhexi gave her a glare.

Xiaosan?

Which bitch is she calling that?

If Grandma and mom weren’t present, he would have slapped her already.

“Why are you glaring at me? Hurry up and play your hand!” Su Wanwan was impatient.

Huo Zhexi quickly threw out a five of bamboo pang.

Su Wanwan hurriedly checked her own tiles.

“Peng!” The old lady couldn’t stop laughing, “I win again, hahaha.”

“Damn, Grandma, how can you win again? Are you cheating?” Huo Zhexi asked what Su Wanwan had been wanting to ask.

The old lady slapped him, “You cheeky boy, who said I’m cheating? It’s just my lucky day, hahaha. Hurry up, each of you transfer 500 yuan over!”

Huo Zhexi reluctantly picked up his cellphone, transferring 500 yuan.

Everyone else transferred the money quickly as well.

Su Wanwan checked the balance in her cellphone and felt a pang of pain before transferring the money reluctantly.

She initially thought that her mahjong skills were quite good.

During her first half year in Los Angeles, she’d often hang out in casinos and bars, and got to know Ye Qitian and her master, and she learned a thing or two about poker.

Considering that Huo Zhexi was a bit foolish and Mingzhu probably was mediocre at the game, Su Wanwan thought she’d make a considerable profit, but…

Experience makes a difference!

The old lady was still sharp as ever!

Within this time, she had won 1500 yuan from her.

Bad move, bad move.

Could she quit now?

“Hurry up, Wanwan, shuffle the tiles!” the old lady urged her on.

Apparently, the old lady was enjoying her winning streak and had no intention of stopping.

Su Wanwan could only pep herself up in silence.

What goes around comes around.

It couldn’t be that the old lady was going to have all the luck today, right?

As though answering her own question, she had some good luck in the third round.

After just a few rounds, she had gathered big pairs, consisting entirely of three-of-a-kind pairs. She was just a chick short of winning.

Seeing Huo Zhexi’s slow moves, Su Wanwan once again lost her patience and urged, “Hurry up and play, Xiaosan. You’re the only man at the table, and you’re always so slow.”

“…” Huo Zhexi huffed in anger.

She called him Xiaosan again.

That’s the second time he was called that by this bratty girl today!

Feeling resentful, he threw out an eight of characters, only for the old lady’s excited voice to rise again, “Peng! Hahaha!”

Everyone: “…”

“I won, I won! Look at these dragon seven pairs. Each of you owes me 1000 yuan! Hurry up and transfer the money!”

Su Wanwan once again: “…”

This has to be rigged!

She was just one chick short of winning herself!

With a heavy heart, she picked up her cellphone to check her balance, “Err, Grandma, I am out of money on WeChat.”

Huo Zhexi burst out laughing, “What a miser! Want to deny your debt after losing, huh? Don’t play if you can’t afford it, stingy. Plus, it’s not like you’re shy about losing.”

“Mind your own business!” Su Wanwan glared at him. “Granny, I’ll chalk it up for now, I’ll definitely win in the next round!”

“Alright, alright, Wanwan, you can make a tab. You two, start transferring money to me, 1000 yuan each person, not a cent less.” Mrs. Huo’s eyes were squinting with laughter.

Mingzhu couldn’t stop giggling, while Huo Zhexi and Su Wanwan spurred each other on. They simply refused to believe that Mrs. Huo was going to win all the games today.

To their surprise…

This round ended even faster. After only two or three turns, Mrs. Huo dominated again with a clear-cut straight win.

Su Wanwan was simply dumbfounded.

God, this old lady was so freaking amazing?

She is a living, breathing gambling god!

“Hurry up and pay up, 500 yuan each!” The face of Mrs. Huo was flushed with excitement.

Another 500 yuan.

Su Wanwan silently counted.

Until now, she’d lost a total of 3000 yuan, which meant her monthly living expenses were now completely depleted.

Woe is me.

Her heart ached so much.

Huo Zhexi didn’t care, it was just a few thousand yuan, not even enough for one of his meals. But it was a bit annoying that he couldn’t win Wanwan’s money.

However, seeing Su Wanwan’s grievous expression, he couldn’t help but taunt, “Out of money already? You can always ask your big brother for some money. Whisper sweet nothings in his ear, and you’ll see the money pouring in, right?”

“None of your business!” Su Wanwan pushed her cards away, rolled up her sleeves, and tucked her hair back behind her ears, “Let’s continue!”

She simply refused to believe she couldn’t win one game today.

Watching Su Wanwan’s enthusiastic demeanor, Mrs. Huo couldn’t help but laugh, “I like my daughter-in-law’s character! Spend money like water, yet it always comes back to you! She doesn’t even care about money! Zhexi, learn a thing or two from your sister-in-law, did you get that?”

Su Wanwan: “…”

Granny, I’m not careless about money. In fact, I’m so deep in it I can’t see a way out.

But Huo Zhexi, for once, remained silent.

Because he saw some people were coming downstairs. He quickly straightened his clothes and began drawing cards again.

Su Wanwan was touching a card, memorizing it intensely. Just as she was about to play one of her tiles, a large hand abruptly gripped her shoulder.

Immediately following that, a man’s sinister voice whispered into her ear, “Baby, having fun?”

Su Wanwan made a grunting sound, “Stop bothering me! I’m memorizing the cards!”

Everyone at the table struggled to hold back their laughter.

Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, his tone threatening, “Baby, who are you telling to stop bothering you, hmm?”

The grip on her shoulder tightened, causing Su Wanwan to wince with pain. She hurriedly looked up.

Huo Jingshen was beside her, bending slightly over her with one hand around her shoulders and the other on the card table.

Fu Qi who had just risen to full height, saw this sight as she walked over.

The man was bending slightly over the table, from her perspective, his tall and upright frame seemed to engulf the woman, chair and all.

In front of all the elders in the room, he didn’t hold back at all. At first glance, there was an indescribable intimacy and naturalness between them.

Fu Qi bit her lip lightly and clutched the fruit plate in her hand, sharply turning around to sit back on the couch.

…

On the other end, Su Wanwan froze for a moment before suddenly throwing her arms around Huo Jingshen’s arm. “Husband, you’re finally here!”

The stern look on Huo Jingshen’s face instantly softened. “What’s the matter?” he asked.

“I lost money!” Su Wanwan pouted, looking quite aggrieved.

“How much did you lose?” Huo Jingshen spoke, glancing at the three people at the table.

Those eyes seemed to be saying:

As elders, are you shameless to make profits off youngsters?

Especially you, Huo Zhexi. As a man, aren’t you ashamed of winning money off a woman?

Su Wanwan pouted even more and said grievously, “I lost 3000 yuan and owe granny another 1500 yuan. I’m so unlucky.”

Mrs. Huo burst out laughing.

Mingzhu also couldn’t help laughing.

Huo Zhexi had a cold expression.

Huo Jingshen curled his thin lips, “Really weak, is 3000 yuan so much money?”

Making it appear as if he was mistreating her.

She’d lost just 3000 yuan, as if she’d lost her entire fortune.

Su Wanwan shot back immediately, “The living expenses you give me every month total 3000 yuan, and I’ve lost it all.”

Huo Jingshen: “…”

As expected, after hearing this, Mrs. Huo clicked her tongue, “Ashen, that’s where you’re wrong. What’s going on? How can your wife’s living expenses be so low? What can 3000 yuan do? As a man, be more generous! From now on, make it 30,000!”

Thirty thousand?

Su Wanwan’s eyes turned red, “Thirty thousand is good, thirty thousand is so good. Granny is right! We should listen to granny!”

Mrs. Huo and her daughter-in-law shared a look and giggled, acting like a pair of cunning foxes.
