"Hey! What's the point of just playing cards, especially since you're so lucky!"
Without saying a word, Zhang Laosan shoved the money into Jia Dongxu's arms: "We're all brothers here, take it!"
Looking at the real coins in his hand, Jia Dongxu felt a surge of excitement.
Now the Jia family has no jobs, no source of income, and has even sold their house; the three of them are living off their savings.
Since he had no ability to earn money, it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted by winning several dollars.
But while he was tempted, Jia Dongxu was also wary.
He might win money this time, but he might lose money next time.
no!
You can't lose too much; once you've given away all your winnings, you have to go home.
Jia Dongxu swallowed hard, stuffed the money into his pocket, and grinned: "Keep playing, keep playing. I'm so bored staying at home for so long."
Seeing this, Zhang Laosan exchanged a glance with the bald man, and then began to shuffle the cards.
The second game!
Jia Dongxu's luck seemed to be on fire, even better than the previous round, and unsurprisingly, he won another three yuan.
The third game!
Fourth game!
Jia Dongxu won money every time, which made the bald man so angry that he kept slapping his head. The others also sighed and said that Jia Dongxu was too lucky.
In just over an hour, Jia Dongxu won eighteen yuan in one go.
That's eighteen yuan! That's more than half a month's salary for him at the steel rolling mill.
Moreover, he has an exceptionally smooth run in every round; every card he draws becomes a tool for winning money.
"I can't take it anymore, Brother Dongxu, you're too good. We've almost lost all our money."
"Hey Zhang Laosan, you scoundrel, are you holding a grudge against me for winning a few bucks from you last month, and deliberately hiring a pro to deal with me?"
Zhang Laosan clicked his tongue and said irritably, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. My brother Dongxu is lucky because the God of Wealth is helping him. If you have any objections, go talk to the God of Wealth."
Hahahaha.
Zhang Laosan's words drew laughter from the others, and Jia Dongxu couldn't help but raise his chin.
Could it be that I really have the help of the God of Wealth?
Otherwise, how could he win money every single time?
good!
This place is really nice!
Not only can it relieve boredom and make you laugh, but it can also make you money.
The key point is that the speed at which he was making money made him incredibly excited.
Earning over ten yuan in just over an hour means that if you're ever short of money, you can just come here and play a few rounds and make money in no time.
What a load of bullshit! Yi Zhonghai, the so-called senior fitter.
What is this? Chen Jun, the canteen director.
Even if two people have high salaries, can they earn money as quickly as you do?
Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu couldn't wait to share the news with Qin Huairu and then have her spread it.
With the God of Wealth's help, I'll still be the most dazzling guy in the courtyard!
"Brother Dongxu, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and get your cards!" The bald man patted his big, hard-boiled egg and urged him on.
Jia Dongxu counted the dozen or so yuan he had won, grinned, and said, "I'll play again another day. I have to go home now."
Um??
Upon hearing that Jia Dongxu was leaving, the expressions of the people present immediately changed.
"No, why do we have to leave when we're having so much fun!"
"Yeah, you've got such good luck, you've made so much money off us, how can you just leave like that? No, no, let's play a few more rounds."
“That’s right, let’s play a few more rounds. We usually play all night long.”
Generally speaking, people who win money right away shouldn't just leave, because that would make the losers feel really bad.
So when these people heard that Jia Dongxu wanted to go home, they were unhappy.
Zhang Laosan put his hand on Jia Dongxu's shoulder: "Brother Dongxu, we've won so much money, there's no rush to go home. I'll treat you to steamed buns later, how about that?"
Want some steamed buns?
Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu pursed his lips; it had been quite a while since he had eaten steamed buns.
But where can I buy steamed buns at this hour?
Seeing that Jia Dongxu remained silent, the bald man laughed heartily: "We don't have any messy rules here. Brother Dongxu can go home whenever he wants, and no one can stop him."
"We're all buddies, we'll have to play cards together again in the future!"
After the bald man finished speaking, he glanced at the others, and those who had been complaining immediately shut up.
Seeing that the bald man was so easy to talk to, Jia Dongxu quickly nodded: "That's right, that's right, I'll have to come again in the future."
Jia Dongxu was certainly reluctant to give up such a great opportunity to make money.
The bald man grunted in agreement, stood up, and said, "Just call me Brother Guang. If you want to come visit in the future, just look for me."
"Zhang Laosan, take Brother Dongxu home."
"Light......"
Zhang Laosan opened his mouth as if something was stuck in his throat, but due to the bald man's authority in the area, he swallowed the words that were about to come out.
After Zhang Laosan pushed Jia Dongxu out of the courtyard, the group of people who had just left couldn't sit still any longer.
"Brother Guang, why did you let that fat sheep go? That kid was crippled at the steel rolling mill. The factory will have to pay at least several hundred yuan in compensation."
"Yes, you couldn't find a turnip like this even with a lantern."
"Look at his smug look, he must think he's a master. We shouldn't let him go."
"If I don't come next time, I'll lose a lot of money. Five yuan, a whole five yuan!"
These guys are all seasoned veterans here, and their favorite thing to do is gang up on newbies.
Zhang Laosan was one of them, but unfortunately, he was addicted to gambling. Whenever he had a little money, he would go into the house to play games that were much more exciting than playing cards.
Guang gave them a disdainful look, slowly took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and then said slowly, "What's the rush? He took advantage of us, he'll definitely get his revenge tomorrow."
"When you're fishing for big fish, you can't be impatient. Don't treat people like fools. The fact that Jia Dongxu remembered to go home in time means he's not mentally unstable."
What if he doesn't come tomorrow?
"Heh, isn't there still Zhang Laosan?" Guang Ge leisurely exhaled a smoke ring, then squinted at the direction of the gate, a smile playing on his lips.
On the other side, a courtyard house.
As soon as Jia Dongxu got home, he shouted at Qin Huairu.
"Qin Huairu, wake up and quickly fetch me some water to wash my feet."
Um?
Qin Huairu, who was already asleep, sat up in bed groggily, glanced at Jia Dongxu, and shook her head somewhat reluctantly: "Dongxu, just go to sleep, don't wake up Banggeng."
After being out having fun for so long, all I want to do when I get home is soak my feet?
Do you really need to soak your feet?
"Whoosh~"
Jia Dongxu reached into his pocket and then threw a wad of small bills at Qin Huairu's face.
"I want to soak my feet now!"
Qin Huairu stared blankly at the money, and subconsciously asked, "Is this money for me to buy something tomorrow?"
"Buy my ass! This is money I just earned!"
