Five million?
The man stood there dumbfounded.
After realizing what had happened, he couldn't catch his breath and almost fainted.
He bought over a hundred tickets, but didn't win a single one.
The woman only bought one ticket, and she actually won... a whole five million!
That wasn't all; what he found most unacceptable was...
He bought the entire stack of lottery tickets on the right, except for... the one she took.
And it was precisely that one ticket she casually picked up... that won five million.
In other words, if it weren't for her incredible lucky draw, she would be the one who won five million right now.
It's impossible for anyone to remain calm when they're just one step away from getting rich, only to have someone else snatch it away halfway through.
The man's breathing became heavier, and his eyes gradually turned fierce and terrifying.
Qi An ignored his reaction and could only smile as he helped the old lady, whose legs were weak.
The mother still looked dazed: "Five...five million? Good heavens, in broad daylight, why am I dreaming?"
Qi An pinched her: "You're not dreaming, it's real. See? I told you so, today is auspicious for making money."
After a long while, the shop owner finally snapped out of his daze and roared, "Holy crap, I actually won five million, and I only bought one ticket? Just one!"
What kind of luck is this?
Even the God of Wealth's own daughter couldn't be more virtuous than this.
The man finally couldn't hold back any longer, his eyes red as he rushed up to Qi An and roared:
"It's all your fault. If you hadn't taken that ticket, I would have been the one to win. It's all your fault."
Seeing this, Tong's mother snapped back to reality, rushed in front of Qi An to block her, and shouted angrily:
"Who are you calling a little punk? Get out of my way!"
The shop owner advised, "Brother, calm down."
The man was furious and reached out to push the child's mother.
The mother did not back down an inch, protecting her daughter tightly behind her.
Qi An pulled Tong's mother away and slapped the man to the ground.
The man clutched his face in pain, but the bloodshot in his eyes subsided considerably. Once his reason returned, he reverted to his cowardly demeanor.
He was a coward at heart, living a timid and pathetic life, never daring to get into conflict with anyone.
He was so provoked by what had just happened that he finally mustered up the courage to act, only to be slapped back down by Qi An, and he could no longer muster the courage to act.
The shop owner swallowed hard; this girl was really fierce.
Qi An said coldly, "Are you awake? If you're not, say something. I just killed one last month, and I'm quite skilled at it."
Shopkeeper: "..."
man:"……"
Looking at the man who was cowering in fear, Qi An said meaningfully, "Feeling resentful? You'll regret it even more once you get something."
The man was confused.
If he wins the lottery, he can give his wife and children a good life. How could he possibly regret it?
The shop owner quickly helped the man up and advised, "Brother, what are you doing? Whether you win the lottery or not is up to fate. I can only say that you're not destined for it."
"Going back to your wife and kids, living a stable life, is better than anything else. So many people buy lottery tickets, how many actually win? Are all the people who don't win going to give up?"
The man wiped his eyes, drooped his head, and walked out of the store dejectedly.
Thinking of his gentle wife and lovely daughter, he finally felt a little better.
Forget it, I'm never buying lottery tickets again. He's just not destined to get rich; he'd better just earn money honestly with his own hands.
The two hundred-plus yuan wasted today could have been enough to take the mother and daughter out for a nice meal.
Sigh, I'll bring my wife a cup of milk tea and my daughter a small cake later.
Actually, he hadn't planned to buy lottery tickets today, but for some reason, he had a strong feeling that he was going to get rich, so he went in as if possessed.
Even now, he still feels that he should be the one to win the lottery.
The man shook his head with a self-deprecating laugh; he must be obsessed with money.
He exhaled deeply, forcibly erasing his unrealistic fantasies and reverting to his usual honest and down-to-earth demeanor.
Watching the man walk towards the bubble tea shop, Qi Anxin said, "Fool, I'm saving you."
Actually, the man's intuition was right; he should have been the one to win the lottery today.
But this is not a good thing for him; on the contrary, it will bring him utter disaster.
Some men appear honest, hardworking, and family-oriented, treating their wives and children very well.
Even if he doesn't have any great abilities or make a lot of money, he can still be considered a decent man.
But that was when he had no money.
On this day in his past life, the man won five million and was almost ecstatic.
However, instead of providing a good life for his wife and children, he abandoned them.
Sudden wealth awakens the worst aspects of a man's nature, and he quickly becomes unrecognizable.
With his wealth, how could his overweight, plain-looking wife be worthy of him?
With so much money, of course he needs a son to inherit the family business. His daughter will get married someday, so wouldn't his money just benefit someone else?
Less than three months later, he had an affair with a beautiful woman who was also very sweet-talking.
The woman said she was pregnant with his child, and it turned out to be a boy.
So, without hesitation, he abandoned his wife and daughter and got completely involved with his mistress.
The mistress tricked him into transferring the house to her name by promising to give birth to his son.
Then, he met a group of "rich people" who, at their urging, led him to gamble and patronize prostitutes, living a life of debauchery and extravagance.
Not long after, he was tricked by a conspirator at the casino.
He lost every last penny in his account and even owed millions.
Unable to repay the debt, he had one hand chopped off. In desperation, he thought of selling his house to pay off the debt.
When he got home, he discovered that the house had already been sold, and the mistress had run off with all the money she could.
Only after reporting it to the police did they realize that the mistress was a professional con artist who specifically targeted idiots like them who suddenly became rich, tailoring scams specifically for them.
She was in cahoots with those "rich people" and the casinos who set him up, so the child wasn't his.
The fraud gang vanished without a trace, leaving the man penniless. Only then did he realize what had happened and broke down in tears.
Less than a year after winning the lottery and becoming rich, he fell from heaven to hell.
He was filled with remorse and wanted to find his wife and daughter and go back to the way things were before.
He didn't have much money before, but his home was filled with laughter every day. He missed those simple and happy days so much.
But his father-in-law and mother-in-law beat him whenever they saw him, and no matter how much he kowtowed and begged for forgiveness, he could not get any information about his wife and daughter.
He never recovered and eventually committed suicide in despair.
A perfectly happy and warm family was torn apart because he made a fortune.
On his deathbed, he thought to himself, "If only I hadn't won that five million."
How wonderful it would be if he could just stay home with his wife and children and live a peaceful and happy life.
When Qi An saw him at the entrance of the lottery shop, the flashback in his mind was the tragic state of his past life.
Some men don't turn bad simply because they're broke.
By taking the money, Qi An not only saved a family but also saved his own life.
In the middle of the night, the man woke up from a nightmare, sat there in a cold sweat for a long time, and finally trembled as he hugged his sleeping wife.
Qi Laoda was unwilling to admit it; she simply didn't want to go to work.
With this money, she could lie down with a clear conscience.
The mother will no longer have to set up a stall or collect garbage to "raise" her.
Because of the tax deductions and procedures, and because the prize redemption would take some time, Qi An took the dizzy Tong's mother home first.
Next, we'll send that old bastard to his grave, and then...
Let's lie down!
