271: Unfilial son! Scoundrel!

"It's about dignity!"

"It's because they don't treat us like people at all! We absolutely cannot bow down to people like this! Not even once!"

"If we bow our heads today, we'll never be able to look them in the eye again! We cannot bow! We must fight for this pride!"

After speaking, she didn't wait for Su Cha to say anything else, and directly pulled out a brand new deed from the small bag she carried.

With a "smack," she slammed it heavily onto the center of the gambling table!

The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a clap of thunder, making everyone's heart seize up.

The crowd in the courtyard was stunned.

"Oh my god! A house deed?! She really brought it out?!"

"Su Cha's wife... she's too... too fierce, isn't she?! Isn't she afraid of losing everything?!"

"Cannot bow down! Well said! Damn it, I've long been annoyed by Atapong's face! Relying on a bit of dirty money, his tail is practically scraping the sky! You can't indulge people like that!"

"What kind of luck did Su Cha have to marry a wife like this? At a time like this, she can still support him unconditionally and stand firm with him?!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm jealous! Where can you find a wife like that? She has such guts! If it were my wife, she would have already raised hell with me!"

"Jealous my ass! She's purely a spendthrift woman! Is her brain filled with water? Is this what you do when you're trying to live a life? Putting up the marital home—if they lose, how are they going to live?! This is outrageous!"

"Exactly! Impulse is the devil! Now look, they might have only lost the three golds before, but now they're going to lose their home too!"

Lei Jun was somewhat surprised.

She really hadn't expected that Su Cha's newlywed wife, who appeared gentle and even somewhat timid, would possess such great courage and decisiveness deep down.

When everyone thought Su Cha was at his wits' end, and even his father only wanted to smooth things over or even blame him, she chose to step forward, using their most important asset to give her husband the most direct and unreserved support.

This made Lei Jun look at the new bride with fresh eyes.

But at the same time, she felt the situation was even more tricky and urgent.

Now that the house deed had been slammed down, the stakes and significance of the wager were completely different.

This was no longer just a matter of money; it concerned the foundation of a new family.

If Su Cha won, he would certainly be able to strike a heavy blow against Atapong and win everything back; but what if he lost?

Moreover, according to her judgment, the probability of Su Cha losing was extremely high.

The consequences... were unimaginable.

Seeing that their Older Brother's Wife had actually taken out the house deed, Su Qing and Su Ya were scared out of their wits!

"Older Brother's Wife! Don't!" Su Qing cried out.

"You can't bet the house! Brother!" Su Ya stamped her foot in frustration.

They had clearly heard Lei Jun's assessment just now.

Their Older Brother Su Cha had a 4-5-6 Straight Flush, while their Older Male Cousin Atapong most likely had three Queens (Triples)!

No matter how big a Straight Flush is, it can't beat Triples!

Older Brother's Wife betting the three golds was already a huge risk, but now betting the marital home too? Wouldn't that be handing all their assets directly to Atapong?!

They were burning with anxiety, wishing they could rush up immediately and snatch the deed back.

But Older Brother's Wife's actions were too fast, her attitude too resolute, and Older Brother Su Cha seemed to have his fighting spirit ignited by her support—they had no time to stop them!

Su Qing's tears welled up again in frustration. She tightly grabbed Lei Jun's arm, silently pleading.

Miss Lei, quickly think of something! Hurry!

His wife's actions and words were like a shot of adrenaline and a spark of fire, completely igniting the flame that was almost extinguished in Su Cha's chest.

He looked at the brand new deed on the table, then at his wife's firm and trusting eyes. A warmth and power unlike anything before flooded his body. True feelings are revealed in times of trouble!

How could he, Su Cha, be worthy enough to marry a wife who could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him and face the storm together at such a critical moment!

With the support of a wife like this, what did he have to fear?

What reason did he have to back down?

The panic, fear, and helplessness from moments ago were instantly replaced by a tragic heroism and a determination to burn all bridges.

His wife was right! He absolutely could not bow down to people like Atapong!

If he chickened out today, he would never be able to rise up in front of them again! He had to fight for this pride!

This insult must be returned!

As for winning or losing... he tightly squeezed his wife's hand, seeing the same determination in her eyes.

He took a deep breath, turned to look at Atapong, and the hesitation and struggle in his eyes vanished completely, replaced by a fierce resolve.

He grabbed the house deed from the table, raised it high, and then slammed it down heavily next to the pile of cash, shouting at Atapong:

"The marital home! Market price eight hundred thousand! I'm calling you! And I'm raising the stakes by three hundred thousand more than you!"

He glared at Atapong, asking word by word.

"Now, it's my turn to ask you! Do! You! Want! To! Raise! The! Stakes! Again?!"

"Unfilial Son!!! You Wicked Child!!!"

When Wenchalong saw his son actually slam down the house deed and shout "eight hundred thousand," his last shred of sanity snapped.

He felt his vision go dark, the world spinning, and his chest felt like it had been violently struck by a thousand-pound boulder.

Spendthrift!

What a true spendthrift!

What sin did he commit in his previous life to give birth to such an ignorant fool?

The three golds were one thing, but the marital home!

That was the new house they had bought after the elderly couple saved diligently and their son worked hard to save enough for the down payment!

It was the hope that allowed their family to stand tall in the village!

And just like that... he casually put it up as a bet?

All because of a slight he couldn't swallow?!

He couldn't hold back anymore. He rushed forward and grabbed Su Cha's arm tightly.

"You... you, you, you... Su Cha! You wicked child! You animal! Are you trying to anger me to death?! Huh?! This is the marital home we just bought this year! It's the culmination of our whole family's efforts! You just... just bet it away?! Are you crazy?! What a sin! This is truly sinful!!!"

The more he spoke, the angrier and more desperate he became.

"Just... just for a hand of cards! A hand where you don't even know if you'll win or lose! You're going to lose everything?! Bankrupt the family?! How did I raise such a scoundrel! You animal! You unfilial son!!!"

He was so angry that his vision went dark, and he nearly fainted.

Watching the farce of father and son turning against each other, especially seeing how close Uncle Wenchalong was to dying from anger, Atapong was ecstatic inside and almost couldn't stop himself from laughing out loud.

Hahaha!

This is too wonderful!

Su Cha, that idiot, is truly hopeless!

And his brainless wife, they are a match made in heaven! He originally thought he would only win the three golds and a broken-down car, but the surprise came so suddenly!

A brand new marital home! And one bought just this year!
