"My dad and Wu Jie's dad have indeed been friends for more than ten years. When Tian Fu spoke, the word "friend" was fiercely accentuated.

"Do you remember the trip to Hong Kong and Macao during the winter vacation of your freshman year, I told you about it. Tian Fu looked at Liu Yun and asked.

"I remember that trip you had been looking forward to for a long time. Liu Yun nodded and said.

Tian Fu stroked his hair and said faintly: "I've been looking forward to it for a long time, but I didn't expect that this Hong Kong and Macao tour has changed and completely changed our family." ”

Facing Liu Yun, she opened her heart and slowly talked about this journey.

It turned out to be just a trip for a family of three. On that day, Wu Jie's father and friend Wu Jiongjiong, who was also Tian's father Tian Xudong for more than ten years, met their family at the airport. On that day, he happened to go to Xiangjiang to do some errands, and he happened to be on the same plane as Tian Fu's family.

Tian Fu has always disliked Wu Jiongjiong, and felt that this person was good at words and clever words. She has always been disgusted with this kind of person who is too good at talking, because she can't guess which sentence of the other party is true and which sentence is false.

But after all, he was a good friend of his father, and he couldn't just leave him alone. As a result, the original three-person tour abruptly became a four-person tour.

When he was in Xiangjiang, everything was still normal, Tian Fu's father had been very patient to accompany the mother and daughter around shopping, while Wu Jiongjiong was very low-key and kept a distance from their family.

It's just that this situation has completely changed after arriving in Macau, and her father no longer accompanies his wife and daughter, but shuttles between the major casinos here with Wu Jiongjiong, having fun.

Every day, when he returned, he showed off his achievements to his wife and daughter with great interest: today he won a few thousand yuan.

But Tian Fu was not happy at all, their family came here to travel, not to let his father come here to gamble. What if you win?

But from that moment on, her father seemed to be enchanted, and even when he returned to Donghai City, he still went to those underground casinos with Wu Jiongjiong to gamble.

After Liu Yun heard this, he already understood the general situation in his heart, and said, "Since then, your father has been losing money?"

Tian Fu shook his head slightly, and replied: "It's not, he won nearly 1,000 yuan the first few times, and then he won and lost, and in the end, the more he gambled, the more he lost." ”

Liu Yun understood that Tian Fu's father was most likely cheated by that friend. In previous lives, gambling syndicates would often use this kind of fraud to make you taste a little sweetness first, and then let you spit it out with interest.

There is a good saying: the dealer is not afraid of you winning, he is afraid that you will not play after you win.

It's a pity that when many people in this world understand this truth, they have exhausted their family property and fallen into the abyss.

"Didn't your mother stop him?" asked Liu Yun with a frown.

"My mother is stupid too!" Tian Fu said with some anger. This tone also made Liu Yun cry out in surprise.

She continued: "My dad was winning and losing for a while. According to my mother, one day my dad kept losing money, losing almost 5,000 yuan, and he still had 5,000 yuan left in his pocket. In order to recover the cost, he pressed 5,000 yuan at one time. ”

"And then continue to lose?" a thought flashed in Liu Yun's heart, but he didn't speak.

"I won!" Tian Fu said, "I lost 5,000 yuan in one night, and I won it back, and I earned more than 100 yuan." ”

Liu Yun shook his head and sighed: "It's such a deep routine." ”

In his previous life, Liu Yun also gambled on ball, and knew that there was a word called stud, which was to press all the chips on his body at one time, and decide whether heaven or hell in one breath.

If Tian's father loses this 5,000 yuan bet, it is possible to learn from the pain and quit gambling completely. However, he won, like a drowning man who clutches at a life-saving straw when he walks into despair, which is a feeling for the rest of his life.

The flame that was about to be extinguished was rekindled like a spring breeze, and it became more and more intense.

Tian's father put together a bet with all the remaining funds in his pocket and won. also stimulated all the gambling addiction in his body, and since then it has been out of control.

Liu Yun suddenly thought that Tian Fu had just accused Mu Mu of his mother, so he asked, "What does that have to do with your mother?"

She sighed slightly and continued: "Because my dad won the 5,000 yuan hand, my mom actually thinks that my dad's gambling luck is not bad." ”

Liu Yun's face showed a sudden expression, people's mentality is sometimes so subtle.

Gambling is to capture people's mentality that those who win want to win more, and those who lose want to get their money back. As the saying goes, nine out of ten bets lose, and most of the results are that the person who wins will lose even more of the money they won, and the person who loses will lose more and more.

He had gambled in his previous life and understood the suffocating, tense atmosphere of re-betting, and many gamblers seemed to enjoy the moment and the feeling of deciding whether to go to heaven or hell.

When Tian Fu spoke, his bright eyes couldn't help but look at the sky, and his eyes were already moist.

"In the beginning, because I won that big bet. My mother had the illusion that the money she exported could be won back. But the end result was that my dad lost more and more, like a bottomless pit. By the time my mom reacted, it was too late. ”

"Even if your mom tries to stop it, she probably won't. Because your dad has lost his eyes. Liu Yun sighed and gave his own judgment.

"Yes, my mom can't persuade my dad anymore, even if I rush home during the summer vacation, it's useless. These words have been glanced at in Tian Fu's heart for too long, and now he poured them all out in front of Liu Yun, "My father lost more than 600,000 yuan in total, and after the house was mortgaged, the debt was still close to 200,000 yuan." Nowadays they can only rent a house outside. ”

"Your parents' jobs?" asked Liu Yun tentatively. He remembered that on the bus to Ningda, he had met Tian Fu's parents, who had a clear appearance.

"My parents are both civil servants. It's just that my dad was fired because of a gambling problem, and now he can only do a little odd job. Tian Fu replied.

Looking at Tian Fu's heartbroken expression, Liu Yun's chest couldn't help but feel a feeling of heartache. He wanted to go up and hug her and say, "Don't be sad, I'm here." ”

But such thoughts only flashed through his mind. They were nothing but friends, high school classmates. He knew that if he took that step, he might find himself in a dilemma.

Tian Fu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand and said, "I know that your YOYO milk tea generally doesn't hire part-time jobs, but I want to go to work." I need money, but I can't drop out of school. ”

She lowered her head and whispered, "I'll tell you the truth, my mother borrowed the tuition for this semester, and I want to rely on my own ability to repay the money." ”

As a key university, Ningjiang University needs 6,000 yuan for one academic year, plus 1,000 yuan for accommodation, a total of 7,000 yuan.

Liu Yun really wanted to say that I can pay for this tuition, and even your family's debts I will find a way for you. But he knew that this stubborn and strong girl would probably not agree.

These words came to the mouth, but there was no mouth after all. He said: "No problem, there is a YOYO bubble tea shop near Ningda, you go there to work and enter the dormitory, and you will also be arranged to avoid class time." ”

Small gambling is pleasant, big gambling hurts the body, all book friends should remember.
