Chapter 433: 433
Zheng Jiaxing smiled wryly . "What can I do? I'm at my wit's end . I feel like… There's only a cliff in front of me . Perhaps I can exonerate myself if I jump down it . "
Fangzheng smiled . "If you have no plans, This Penniless Monk does have one . This Penniless Monk just wonders if you would be willing to help him . "
"Oh?" Zheng Jiaxing was stunned .
Fangzheng smiled . "This Penniless Monk wishes to go to Wang Laosi's place and gamble a few rounds . "
"Ah!?" Zheng Jiaxing was stunned . Despite knowing that it was a trap, the monk was still flinging himself into it? Was he mad?
Fangzheng smiled . "This Penniless Monk is protected by Buddha, so This Penniless Monk has great luck . "
"Fangzheng, I'm serious . Gambling is not child's play . You must not touch it . There's no way to escape it once you do so . Look at me . My family was quite alright originally . Although life was tiring, I didn't have problems with my meals . Our family lived happily, but now, look at me… My family is just one step short of being in ruins . " Zheng Jiaxing squatted down while hugging his head . He looked miserable .
Fangzheng smiled . "Patron, for you to realize this means that you have already climbed out of the hole . A prodigal who returns is more precious than gold . Repent and ye shall be saved . Patron, it's already very precious that you can repent . This Penniless Monk remembered that you were a pauper when you just got married?"
Zheng Jiaxing was stunned for a moment before he said with some nostalgia in his tone, "That's right . Back then, I had nothing . It was only that silly lass, Li Na, who was willing to follow a silly lad like me . After two years of hard work, our lives have been turning for the better . To be honest, I have always wished for Li Na to lead a better life, even in my dreams . I feel like I owe her greatly in this life of mine . What she has done for me is not something I can repay in this life . "
"Then slowly repay it . You still have a long life ahead of you," said Fangzheng with a smile .
"But… What about Wang Laosi? I really don't have the money to pay him . " Zheng Jiaxing cringed the moment he thought of Wang Laosi .
Fangzheng patted him on the shoulder . "There's always hope when you are alive . If you aren't around, your despair will be left to the wife you married, as well as your children and parents . Do you really want that to happen?"
Upon recalling Wang Laosi's character, one that didn't show any mercy, and then his wife, son, and elderly parents, Zheng Jiaxing suddenly looked up and exclaimed, "No! I absolutely cannot let that Wang Laosi get to them! Even at the cost of my life!"
"Since you aren't afraid of death, follow This Penniless Monk for a visit to Wang Laosi's place . "
"Fangzheng, are you really going?" Zheng Jiaxing stared at Fangzheng . He could not figure out why Fangzheng was being so obsessed about it . However Zheng Jiaxing also knew that there was no way he could evade Wang Laosi . They were all from the same village, and he could hide, but he could not run . They would ultimately meet . Now that Li Na was hospitalized, if he was unable to resolve the problem before Li Na was discharged, it was up in the air what would happen if Li Na ended up being harassed . He did not dare, nor could he afford, to bet on it . Therefore Zheng Jiaxing wanted to risk it . He secretly pondered as a fierce look flashed in his eyes . "At most, I'll just pay him with my life . "
With this in mind, Zheng Jiaxing agreed .
Not long later, Zheng Jiaxing's parents came . When they met, Zheng Jiaxing hung his head low . He did not dare raise it .
The fuming Zheng Huo repressed his anger when he saw Fangzheng . He could not show his fury in front of Fangzheng since Fangzheng's One Finger Monastery was known to be an efficacious monastery among the surrounding villagers . And together with the reputation of the monastery, Fangzheng was also held in high esteem .
