Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Chapter 1130:1129 Playing Mahjong Together

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After dinner, the sky was already dark, but there were still a few hours before midnight. While others were watching the Spring Festival Gala, some were playing indoor games.

Grandma Tao liked to play mahjong. Every year, she would play a few rounds of mahjong, but her playing skills were not good. She basically lost every round. However, she didn’t mind. The money she lost would be given to the younger generation as lucky money.

“It’s boring to always play Mahjong with you guys.” Grandma Tao didn’t want to play with her daughters-in-law anymore. “How about this? Tiantian and Xiao Zhuang will play Mahjong with me this year.”

Tian Tian didn’t know how to play cards, but she didn’t want to disappoint her grandmother, so she could only ask her husband for help.

Tao Zhi received her distress signal, so he said to Grandma Tao, “Grandma, Tiantian isn’t good at this game, so I’ll sit next to her. We’ll play as a team.”

“Alright.” Grandma Tao agreed. “But you have to promise not to peek at our cards.”

“Grandma, don’t worry. I won’t leave my seat,” Tao Zhi promised.

Anyway, it was just family fun, so there was no need to be so serious.

Zhuang Liu didn’t know how to play Mahjong either. He had only seen his mother play cards with other madams a few times, but he had never learned it seriously. “Grandma, I don’t know how to play either, so can I let Rourou sit next to me?”

Zhuang Liu knew that Tan Rou was very good at playing this game. One year during the Chinese New Year, Tan Rou won a lot of money for the first time. She showed the money she won to Zhuang Liu and even gave him a big red packet.

As soon as he spoke, he was met with the opposition of everyone in the Tao family.

Mrs. Tao was the first to object. “No, no, Rourou is too good at it. She always wins without any suspense. It’s too boring to play Mahjong like this.” Afraid that her daughter would be sad, she added, “Rourou, perhaps you can sit out of this game? Mommy will give you a big red packet later.”

Tan Rou smiled. “Mom, I won’t be joining the game tonight. I’ll just watch from the side.” She moved a chair and sat behind Zhuang Liu.

“Don’t worry, I won’t help him.”

Grandma Tao heaved a sigh of relief. Although she didn’t care about money, she cared about winning or losing. If Tan Rou played, she would be the only one who would win. That would be meaningless.

“Rourou, I’ll give you a big red packet when I win some money,” Grandma Tao said to Tan Rou with a smile.

“Thankyou, Grandma. I hope you can win more money.” Tan Rou agreed.

Grandma Tao’s face was red with laughter. “Just watch me win money.”

Grandma Tao, Zhuang Liu, and Tian Tian were only three people, so Grandma Tao let Shen Jing play in the end. The four of them just happened to form a mahjong table.

Shen Jing was very good at Mahjong. Usually, when she played cards with the rich madam, she would only win, so she felt that she would still be the biggest winner tonight.

“If I win money tonight, I’ll give everyone a watch.” Shen Jing said.

Grandma Tao also raised the stakes. “If I win the most money tonight, let me give everyone here a good white jade token.”

Tian Tian and Tao Zhi discussed for a while and decided to give everyone a piece of ginseng.

Three out of the four of them were planning to give something, and Zhuang Liu was no exception. He was giving calligraphy and paintings.

Second Aunt Tao smiled and said, “I regretted that I didn’t participate in the game. Now, I don’t regret it at all. No matter who wins, I will get the treasure. That is much more interesting than playing cards.”

Mrs. Tao continued, “Let’s place a bet too. Let’s see who wins the most tonight. The loser will have to give a red packet to the winner. One person against one. Each red packet must not be less than 10,000 yuan.”

“That’s a good idea.” Aunt Tao agreed. “I’ll bet first. I bet that Madam Zhuang will definitely win.”

“Then I’ll bet that my daughter-in-law will win,” said Mother Tao.

Everyone placed their bets, but no one guessed that Zhuang Liu would win because Zhuang Liu had said from the beginning that he did not know how to play Mahjong.

Seeing that no one was betting on him, Zhuang Liu turned to his wife for comfort. “Rourou, you’ll bet on me, right?”

“Of course I’ll bet on you!” Tan Rou smiled.

“Even if you lose without a doubt, I will still vote for you.”

Zhuang Liu was very touched. He rolled up his sleeves. “Just you wait. I’ll definitely let you win.”
