Chapter 534: Returning to Hometown Part 3: Be Stupid If You Need to Be Stupid, Otherwise You Will Have No Friends

After lunch, a friend of Yifan came to pick him up and take him home.

I accompanied my parents to visit several relatives in the village. When we returned to the old house, the team leader and some childhood friends played cards with me.

I lost every game. Even Wan Xiaoyun said, "You're not a Master Wan, but your card skills are worse than an elementary school student."

I just smiled innocently. I thought, what's wrong with my skills? I just wanted to please everyone.

If we really want to play, I can steal a card without them knowing.

After playing for an afternoon, my reputation for being a terrible card player spread like wildfire out of the village.

There were actually a few young men in the town who made a living by playing cards. They heard that a rich man had returned from He Village.

He is stupid, has a lot of money, but has poor skills.

They came together. If they were from the same town, they would become relatives after just two or three visits.

Some knew Wan Xiaoyun, and some knew the team leader. They said they came to visit Master Wan.

Wan Xiaoyun adhered to the principle of "everyone who comes is a guest". Since there were still many dishes left over from lunch, she invited them to have dinner.

These three people were not polite either. They watched me play cards in the afternoon and laughed loudly, with a thousand percent contempt in their hearts.

With this level, they can beat me with their eyes closed.

At dinner, two tables were set up. Some relatives accompanied my parents, while Wan Xiaoyun, the team leader, and some childhood friends accompanied me and three guests from town.

During the meal, one of the guests said, "Master Wan, our level is not good enough. Let's learn from you later."

The team leader and Wan Xiaoyun were both kicking my feet under the table. One of the young men simply said:

"You three are experts. Shanhong doesn't usually play cards, so if you want to play, come play with us."

I said, "Since you are my guests, losing to you is a loss, and losing to my guests is also a loss.

We can’t let them make a wasted trip, we have to let them earn some money for the trip.”

The three of them laughed wildly. One of them, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, raised his glass and said:

"Master Wan is so generous. To be honest, I call you my uncle. Yifan and I are kind of close. Come, let's have a toast to my uncle."

I said, "In that case, let's make a rule: only play ten games."

The man with gold-rimmed glasses said, "Ten plates, that's ten plates."

After dinner, Wan Xiaoyun asked me to go outside and said, "Why are you giving them money for nothing? They make a living from this."

I said, "It's just entertainment, don't take it too seriously."

Back in the room, the three men had already helped clear the dishes, wiped the table, and placed the cards on the table. The man with gold-rimmed glasses said, "Master, shuffle the cards."

Everyone was worried for me.

I held the cards in my hand and said, "Don't play big. There's someone next door who has a problem with me. If I play big, he'll report me to the police. It won't be good for us."

The three of them had originally dreamed of winning, but my words poured cold water on them.

The man with gold-rimmed glasses stood up, and the other two also stood up, and walked out the door without saying a word.

Everyone followed him out, the team leader secretly pointed, and the three of them rushed to Liang Si's house. The others followed.

After a while, the team leader came back and said with a smile, “Those three men came in and showed the blue dragon embroidered on their arms to warn Liang Si.

Don’t worry about what’s happening next door to the Wan family. If he even looks at them for a second, I’ll cut his tendons.

They said they were Wan Shanhong's friends. True to their word, they came knocking on her door whenever Wan Xiaoyun complained.

I chuckled twice.

The team leader said, "Don't laugh. The bullies in the village are afraid of the bullies in the town, and the bullies in the town are afraid of the bullies in the county."

I entered the room and the three men returned. The man with gold-rimmed glasses said, "Master Wan, I've warned him not to leave the house tonight."

I nodded and said, "Let's play it small. I'm afraid you don't have that much money on your phone."

When these words came out, everyone was shocked.

The man with gold-rimmed glasses smiled cunningly: "Master, don't scare us. We are not afraid of fear."

I said, "Let's play ten games. If I lose, I won't lose a single point. If you lose, I won't take a single point."

Everyone looked at me.

One of them said, "No, we have to give it to you if we lose. Otherwise it wouldn't be fair."

I shook my head and said, "If you want to play, then that's it. If you don't want to, that's another matter. You wash five plates, and I'll wash five plates."

The man with gold-rimmed glasses said, "Just play, Master Wan has money."

They won all the first five games.

Everyone watching the cards shook their heads. Some even openly said, "It's not worth it for you to lose to them."

I didn't argue, took the cards and started shuffling them.

In each round, the three of them had no cards in their hands and could not win.

In the second game, the cards in his hand were even worse, and he was defeated by me again.

In the third round, I was asked to change positions, but I still had no cards and lost again.

The fourth game, lost again.

In the fifth round, I said, "Can you three combine your cards to make a hand, gather your bombs and go into battle together? I'll lay down my cards and play face-up."

As a result, the four of them put the cards on the table, and no matter how they dealt with them, the big cards were all in my hand.

The three of us were so embarrassed that we looked at each other.

Everyone watching had an egg stuffed in their mouths.

I threw my head back and laughed.

Everyone looked at each other.

I said, "This is the best. I'm just having some fun with some childhood friends, and the police won't arrest me.

I'll play something big with you guys, but there won't be any money involved and I won't arrest you.

As for this card technique, let me show you my hands.

I shuffled the cards and dealt them out like a fairy scattering flowers, and they were dazzled by the sight.

As soon as I stopped playing, everyone looked at the table and saw that all the big cards were in front of me.

The man with gold-rimmed glasses stood up and bowed with both hands: "Master, we are rude."

The team leader and my childhood friends then realized that I was pretending to be stupid when playing cards and deliberately let them win money.

The man with gold-rimmed glasses and the other three didn't dare to play anymore. After chatting for a while, they made excuses to leave.

The team leader laughed and said, "It turns out that Shanhong is here to make us happy."

I said, "Team leader, nine out of ten gambling losses are inevitable. That's an old saying. As for you, you should spend less time leading the way in playing cards and more time building roads."

In addition to building roads, you should build a vegetable garden for each household, using green bricks so that chickens and ducks cannot enter.

Gather everyone to plant some more flowers and plants. Build the group into a garden-style group. I'll give you 50,000 yuan first, and then another 50,000 yuan after it's built."

Everyone was jubilant, and someone said, if everyone were like you, Murakami would be a different person.

I said, "I don't care about other groups. You guys build a prototype first. I'll transfer 50,000 yuan to you in front of everyone. You guys supervise its use."

I added the team leader on WeChat and immediately transferred 50,000 yuan.

Everyone applauded, and then everyone started talking about how to build their group. The discussion was very lively.

The next day, my parents and I visited our ancestral graves and had lunch. Surprisingly, the entire group came to see us off.

In the morning, we went to the homes of my three uncles, and on the third day, we went to my aunt's home.

On the morning of April 6, Mr. Deng called and said the contract would be signed the next day and that he insisted I return. My mother was still reluctant to leave.

I coaxed her: "I will come back with you once a year from now on."

She agreed to return to Upstate.

On the evening of April 6, Yifan and I worked overtime and got home late at night.
