When she got to this part, Zhang Qin was already overwhelmed with grief. Tears gushed out of her eyes like a broken string of pearls.

Zhou Yun looked at her, unable to bear it, and turned her questioning gaze toward Ling Zhenfei once more.

"Here, Sister Qin, wipe your tears!"

Ling Zhenfei sighed, handed a tissue to Zhang Qin, and gently comforted her, saying, "Sister Qin, I can lend you this money, but have you thought about what happens after you pay off the debt? Are you going to divorce Zhao Shuang? If you divorce him, are you going to take on this debt alone? If you have to raise the child, won't it only make your life even harder?"

"Zhenfei, thank you for your concern!"

Hearing Ling Zhenfei's words, Zhang Qin felt even more sorrowful. She sighed and said, "I've thought it through. Once the debt is repaid, I'll leave Zhao Shuang and go out to work. Believe me, I'll definitely repay you the money I borrow, and I'll calculate the interest for you too."

"Sister Qin, don't misunderstand me. That's not what I meant."

Seeing the determination on Zhang Qin's face, Ling Zhenfei realized she had misunderstood his intentions, so he explained, "Sister Qin, we are family. I won't refuse to help, but please reconsider your decisions afterward..."

After thinking for a moment, Ling Zhenfei stood up and said, "Who is the creditor? Come, I'll go see him with you!"

"Zhenfei, you really... are willing to help me?"

Zhang Qin had little hope when she came here, but hearing that Ling Zhenfei intended to help, she couldn't help feeling overjoyed. Although her eyes were still wet with tears, there was a gleam of surprise and gratitude deep in them.

"Yes, I happen to be free this afternoon. I'll go with you to repay the debt!"

Ling Zhenfei understood the gambler's mindset well. He knew that merely lending money to pay off Zhao Shuang's gambling debts wouldn't solve the core problem.

To save this near-broken family, the only way was to pull Zhao Shuang out of the abyss of gambling, to make him realize his errors and start anew.

Ling Zhenfei made this decision because he could see that although Zhang Qin talked about leaving Zhao Shuang and divorcing him, there was still love between them. Otherwise, Zhang Qin could have left by now without shouldering this fifty-thousand-dollar debt.

It's better to destroy ten temples than to ruin one marriage. Ling Zhenfei understood this principle well.

Therefore, his task now was not to destroy Zhang Qin and Zhao Shuang's marriage but to eliminate those gamblers dragging Zhao Shuang into the abyss.

"Zhenfei, Xiao Qin, do you need me to go with you?"

Seeing Ling Zhenfei willing to help Zhang Qin, Zhou Yun was both happy and relieved. She stood up and said, "Even though I never asked Zhenfei to do anything, it would be a source of pride for me to help my family through this crisis."

"No need. I'll just go with Sister Xiao Qin."

Ling Zhenfei smiled at his sister-in-law and said, "Sister-in-law, there are a lot of new projects on the farm recently, and Brother Meng Zi can't handle everything alone. Take care of things here. Don't worry. I'll handle things on Sister Xiao Qin's side."

"Alright! Alright!" Seeing how confident Ling Zhenfei was, Zhou Yun felt at ease and personally saw them off at the door.

After confirming with Zhang Qin that the creditor was in town, Ling Zhenfei wasted no time pushing the electric tricycle to head to town with Zhang Qin.

"Zhenfei, did you bring the money?" Seeing Ling Zhenfei going to meet the creditor empty-handed, Zhang Qin couldn't help feeling a bit embarrassed and asked hesitantly.

"It's okay, Sister Xiao Qin. Now is the age of the internet. I brought my phone, and I can transfer the money online." Ling Zhenfei waved his phone at Zhang Qin with a smile.

Indeed, Ling Zhenfei was right. Nowadays, no matter how large the transaction, online transfers are both safe and fast.

However, although Ling Zhenfei had a few million in his online bank account, he didn't intend to pay off the creditor's money just like that.

As a former con artist, Ling Zhenfei knew that in town's gambling circles, even with the worst luck, losing fifty thousand overnight was implausible. Clearly, Zhao Shuang had been scammed!

Knowing this, Ling Zhenfei's rebellious nature wouldn't let him repay without seeking justice.

Zhang Qin, seeing how serious Ling Zhenfei was, didn't think much and followed him straight to town.

It has been mentioned earlier that the entire Binyang Area was rife with gambling. Various gambling activities could be found everywhere, and even in this tiny town, groups of gamblers were a common sight.

Ling Zhenfei thought Zhang Qin would take him to a casino in town to redeem her husband but was surprised when she led him to the town's farmer's market.

What's going on? Could there be a hidden casino in the farmer's market?

Following Zhang Qin, Ling Zhenfei felt puzzled.

Although he hadn't been to the town much lately, he knew quite well about the few casinos there. He didn't recall ever hearing about gambling happening at the farmer's market.

Zhang Qin wasn't a gambler and knew nothing about this. All her thoughts were on how to redeem her husband, and she didn't think to explain it to Ling Zhenfei.

The town's farmer's market wasn't like the ones in the city—it might be crowded in the morning, but by the afternoon, it was nearly deserted.

Zhang Qin led Ling Zhenfei through the market hall, through a small side door, and to the backyard of the market.

Entering the backyard, Ling Zhenfei was taken aback by what he saw.

Wow, it was lively here!

In the backyard against a row of walls, a few independent small platforms surrounded by fences had been built. At each platform, crowds of people were gathered, shouting and cheering.

Seeing the scene, Ling Zhenfei felt a bit confused.

What is this? It doesn't look like a casino setup.

With questions in mind, merely guessing wouldn't provide answers. Curiously, Ling Zhenfei squeezed into the crowd. When he saw what was happening on the platform, he was speechless...

It turned out that inside the fenced platforms, two imposing roosters were fiercely fighting.

The roosters fought intensely, feathers flying everywhere, and the spectators, with bloodshot eyes, cheered loudly as they placed bets.

Damn! Is this... a cockfight?

Seeing such a heated scene, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but feel speechless as he pushed his way to other platforms, finding the same situation.
