On the night of the third day of junior high school, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were not idle, they went to the vegetable market to visit the "old ghost" and "little thunder" again.

There were four bottles of Moutai as gifts, which were both face-saving and sincere, and the other party admitted their affection and entertained them very warmly.

During the banquet, they learned that the "old ghost" had really listened to Hong Yanwu's advice, or bought it with money, or destroyed evidence, or spread rumors, and basically dealt with the tail left by the old grudges.

The old guy has almost become a "submarine" now, just making plans behind the scenes, and fully supporting the "little thunder" in front.

As for "Little Leizi", he did not embarrass the "old ghost", he has already "suppressed" the "spies" who used to occupy the vegetable market, and his power has been initially established. In other words, there is only the banner of "old ghost" left in today's vegetable market.

Hong Yanwu couldn't help but feel emotional when he saw that "Little Leizi" looked high-spirited and ready to go, and when he thought of his previous life when he entered the new century, Hong Kong had done an exclusive interview for "Little Leizi" on the front page.

He knew that the rise of this "big name" in the north and south of the capital probably started at this time!

Suddenly, his mind moved, and he took the opportunity to say that "Momiji" was admitted to university and had already retired. I want to ask if "Little Leizi" has taken over the territory of "Red Leaves" and the meaning of his subordinates.

Needless to say, his purpose is to sell his favor again, and by the way, he can also solve some practical problems, after all, the "Momiji" brothers don't all want to wash their hands, so they can be regarded as providing these people with one more choice.

Of course, the letter obtained by the police was also put on the surface, and let "Little Leizi" decide for himself.

But this matter is not an immediate decision. "Old Ghost" and "Little Leizi" said that they would sum it up and give it to Zhun Xin'er in a few days. But obviously, it can be seen that "Little Leizi" is very moved.

It's just that after this matter was said, what Hong Yanwu didn't expect was that "Little Leizi" then told him a not-so-good news, that is, the "little daughter-in-law" was addicted to gambling, and she didn't listen to it, and now she has taken the initiative to leave and don't follow "Little Leizi".

"Xiao Leizi" also said that when he broke up, he gave his "little daughter-in-law" 300 yuan as a breakup fee. I heard that this kid is now in debt, and he seems to be messing up with whoever borrowed money from whom, and he will find Hong Yanwu's head soon.

Hong Yanwu knows very well that there is nothing wrong with the matter of "Little Leizi", people have already done their best, and this is also a kind reminder not to get involved, lest he take money in vain to fill the bottomless pit.

But the "little daughter-in-law" has helped herself too much after all, and she has no regrets, and she has been desperate. If you really ignore it, this is a little unbearable......

Not to mention, "Little Leizi" was indeed prescient, and this reminder was soon fulfilled.

On the morning of February 11, the day after the Spring Festival, before Hong Yanwu had time to figure out a general outline of the many matters in his hands, the "little daughter-in-law" took the initiative to come to the door and asked him to borrow money.

I haven't seen her for more than half a year, and the appearance of the "little daughter-in-law" is already miserable. The clothes are shabby, the spirit is sluggish, and he looks down. The gift brought two "fragrant mountains", which were not even ten yuan, which was already very indicative of his economic situation.

As soon as he entered the Chen family in the West Courtyard, Hong Yanwu asked knowingly, "Why did you get mixed up like this?"

The "little daughter-in-law" blushed immediately, and quickly said vaguely that he was not angry and took the initiative to not want to do it. Now that he is in an emergency, he wants to ask Hong Yanwu to look at the convenience in his hand, help him respond to emergencies, and send it when he has money when he comes back.

Hong Yanwu saw his sloppy appearance, naturally angry and ridiculous, so he deliberately disgusted him, took out ten yuan and put it on the table. He also said that there was no need to rush, and he could pay it back slowly.

This made the "little daughter-in-law" so embarrassed that he couldn't sit still, he stood up and was stunned for a while, not knowing what to do. Finally, he sighed, silently picked up the money and turned around and left.

But when he walked to the door, Hong Yanwu stopped him.

"Get back! Don't tell you the truth, do you! You want to flip through the book with these ten dollars?"

Yes, now the "little daughter-in-law" finally understood. He honestly turned around, and told how he had fallen to this point with a face full of shame, and told it one by one.

Since the end of the "movement", all walks of life in society have gradually moved towards order. Some units took the lead in reinstating the bonus system, and the state also raised wages once in October last year. Then the life of the common people is much better, and naturally the income of the "playing master" and "Buddha" will also increase.

However, the people in this circle do not have any peace of mind. Since there is a surplus in the smelly food and smell, many people are idle because of the money in their pockets. As a result, gambling spread in society, and gambling began to rise in various parts of the capital.

During this period, there are few "poker" games, most people play cards that is, "knock on the three", "compete for the top", "upgrade", "arch pig" and the like, the game scoring rules are simple, as a regular gambling game win or lose is limited, everyone feels that it is not exciting enough and does not quench their thirst. So gradually, "pulling rats" gradually became popular and became a regular game in the gambling game.

But this is still too monotonous, and I don't know who played the head, from the end of last year, the "mahjong tiles" that disappeared for decades reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and soon became a means of playing money that everyone was keen on.

As for the "little daughter-in-law", no matter whether he "pulls a mouse" or "plays mahjong", he is not addicted to it at first, that is, he plays casually when he catches up with his acquaintances, and his wins and losses are quite limited.

Unexpectedly, his "little cheese" Nian Chunyan is quite talented in "mahjong". After the first contact, I started very quickly, and gradually learned to count cards and keep cards, and since then I have won more and lost less.

So as soon as the two of them combined, they felt that the money came very quickly, and it was faster than the safety of "grabbing points" outside, so they simply relied on gambling to prosper their families. In this way, they began to take the initiative to look around for mahjong games to participate, and the game became bigger and bigger.

Not to mention, for a period of time, they won consecutive battles, and it didn't take long for them to have more than 2,000 results.

At this time, they are full of yearning for a better future, and they have set an ultimate goal. That is, if you win enough 5,000 yuan, you will get married, and when the time comes, not only will you not gamble, but you will also let the "little daughter-in-law" wash her hands and live a good life at home in the future.

didn't expect that from this time on, their luck would turn for the worse and fall throughout.

Nian Chunyan began to lose more and win less, and because the amount of gambling was also large at this time, soon, not only did the first win money spit out, but the more than 1,000 savings that the "little daughter-in-law" had saved over the years also went in.

People are like this, it's good to draw when you win, but it's hard to get out when you lose.

The more they lose, the more red-eyed they become, and no one can listen to them, so the "little daughter-in-law" and "little cheese" borrow money everywhere in a vain attempt to turn over the book. As a result, the famine became bigger and bigger, and people became "ghosts and sorrows" that acquaintances could not avoid.

Speaking of this, the "little daughter-in-law" has completely lowered her head and apologized to Hong Yanwu a bit like a confession.

"Master Hong, I'm sorry for you, you arranged such a good place for me in vain, and the people's 'altars' are now in charge of twenty people, but I ......"

Who knew that Hong Yanwu didn't allow him to say any more, so he stopped him with a word.

"Why are you sorry for me? I don't feel any pain or itching. You're not sorry for me. I'm just asking, you've been making two dollars in the face of thunder! You ask yourself, can you be right? You're full!"

This kind of run makes the "little daughter-in-law" eager to find a crack to get into. But this kid is still a little obsessed.

"Who's to say no, I regret it now. Alas, that's right! This man memorizes words when he leaves, stuffs his teeth when he drinks cold water, and farts and hits his heels! But I can't always be unlucky, can I? If you can lend me a thousand or eight hundred, I can hope to turn over. To tell you the truth, I have a game at home this afternoon, and we are all friends who have been playing together for a long time, so we should have won. Don't worry, as soon as we turn our luck, we will send your money back first......"

Hong Yanwu was even more annoyed and disdainful, and he simply scolded!

"You're not stupid! You're still thinking about winning it back on your own! You're daydreaming! You haven't thought about how you keep losing? Have you always won with your master who plays cards a lot? You just see other people win a lot of money, have you ever counted how many people often win, and how many often lose......

"I'm telling you, there's a truth in gambling that never breaks. The so-called ten gambles and nine cheats, the only time that you don't deceive you is to lure you into the bait! If you want to gamble again, you will count the money with ordinary people and the 'Buddha', and there is no play. In the end, the money is in people's pockets......"

"You're really out of luck! You even led the game to your own house! Do you know that the sin of organizing gambling is greater than participating in gambling! You have to let your neighbors report it and let the police catch you! You kid has to be sentenced for several years more than others! Your grandfather only left you a small courtyard, and you are so bad!"

After a continuous reprimand, seeing the "little daughter-in-law" being scolded by himself, he cowered and was speechless, Hong Yanwu didn't feel relieved at all, he was really pitiful for this kid's ignorance.

No way, Chinese people are good at gambling is universally recognized. But for gambling, the Chinese people know too little and too little.

In contrast, most Westerners are still able to study probability and science in gambling, and relatively rationally define gambling as a kind of entertainment speculation.

However, more Chinese people are always confused by the excitement of gambling and the possibility of getting rich, driven by the inferiority of leisure and hard work, they are completely indulged in the appearance of this behavior, ignorant and superstitious to gamble as a simple gambling luck behavior.

This makes it difficult to avoid them becoming a flock of lambs to the slaughter.

Of course, this is not to say how smart Hong Yanwu himself is. In the 90s of his last life, he was also "set up" by someone, and he lost 1.5 million overnight.

For this matter, he was almost given up by the "big guys". But it was also a blessing in disguise, and he quit gambling because he didn't want to lose his golden job.

And many years later, when he met a domestic "old man" through acquaintances on vacation abroad, he really knew how deep the quagmire of gambling was. It can be said that from the countryside to the city, even the ordinary entertainment games between friends, none of them are completely clean. It's more or less "fishy".

This naturally made him embarrassed, and he was even more glad that he was on the precipice back then.

Naturally, this experience is just right to educate the "little daughter-in-law". followed Hong Yanwu as if the "old Qian" woke him up, asking in detail little by little, pulling and pulling, and teaching the "little daughter-in-law" a good lesson.

At the beginning, the "little daughter-in-law" was afraid of Hong Yanwu, although she didn't dare to talk back, but she didn't believe it very much. But slowly, Hong Yanwu explained the truth clearly, and what he said was a little bit, which became more and more in line with his own feelings. In the end, he had to admit that most of the games were problematic.

And the main suspicion is focused on the regulars in the game, Xidan's "boiler" and Xisi's "big nest".

Because in his impression, these two "players" in Beicheng played extremely well at the beginning and lost a lot of money. But then I don't know when I turned over, almost every time I played cards, I never lost, and Nian Chunyan almost started to lose at that time, and basically the money was sent to their pockets.

What does it feel like to wake up?

The "little daughter-in-law" waved her hand and gave herself two ear stickers!

For him, unwillingness, regret, anger, self-pity...... Maybe it's all there!
