Chapter 100 Chapter 100
Gao Jihui is not an orphan. He lives in his hometown, the county, with parents and two sisters of similar age.
He is the youngest son in the family. His parents risked forced abortion and fines to give birth to him. From then on, he became the most popular and precious thing in the family, and the whole family revolved around him.
Gao Jihui's smooth sailing days came to an end the day he entered elementary school.
When he returned home with his grades, he realized for the first time that his parents had other expressions on their faces besides smiles. They were shock, disappointment, anger, and finally turned into punishment for him.
He failed the exam and was beaten by his parents for the first time in his life.
At that time, he knew that other things could be tolerated, but he could not be careless in terms of grades.
After that, most of the family's money was used to hire a tutor for him and buy supplementary materials.
He didn't have to do anything at home, just lie down on the desk, and his parents and sister didn't dare to disturb him.
He was also the only one in the family who could get pocket money.
Every time his sister saw the pocket money his parents gave him, she couldn't stop the envy in her eyes. Every time he received this look, he felt comfortable and justified.
He was the hope of the family, the pillar of the future. When he studied hard and became successful in the future, everyone in the family would rely on him, so he didn't feel guilty at all for taking the money.
In addition, his parents always gave him good things without hesitation, such as new clothes, new stationery, new shoes... When his sister's clothes were too small, they were enlarged and continued to wear them. Some sets of clothes were not changed for three or four years, but his parents bought him new clothes every year.
Of course, it was not always smooth sailing. He was terrified every time he got good grades.
Once his grades were not good, he would be beaten.
After each beating, his mother hugged him and cried, his father smoked beside him, and his two sisters would persuade him: "Ah Hui, the hope of the whole family is on you, you have to do well!"
Gao Jihui, who was beaten and hurt, did not nod or shake his head, and his heart was empty.
One day, Gao Jihui went to the supermarket to buy something. Looking at the goods on the shelf, he had an unspeakable impulse in his heart - steal it.
Although he had pocket money just given by his parents in his pocket, he still had an irresistible feeling, and his hand reached out to that thing almost uncontrollably.
When he left the supermarket, he put his hand in his pocket and touched the bag of candy worth one dollar, and an indescribable sense of satisfaction rose in his heart.
He began to steal.
After many times, he was finally caught one day.
When the boss caught him and took him to his parents, the shock and embarrassment on his parents' faces made him feel happy.
After his parents paid the boss to leave, they were prepared to give him a good beating. But when he showed his top ten test scores, the planned mixed doubles competition of bamboo shoots and fried pork turned into endless praise and a sumptuous dinner.
He was caught on purpose this time, just to test his parents' reaction.
He figured it out.
After this, he seemed to have suddenly become enlightened. His grades were among the best in the school and he never fell out of the top ten. His
treatment at home also went up sharply, and he never ate bamboo shoots and fried pork again.
But he still stole.
He went to places farther away from home to steal, and he was not afraid of being caught. As long as he paid enough compensation, the other party would not continue to pursue the matter.
From then on, he realized that besides grades, money is also a good thing.
His grades were good enough to get him into a key high school in the city, but his two sisters went to work in factories after completing nine years of compulsory education. His parents said it was to support his education.
After the college entrance examination, he entered a good key university, and his major was not very popular at the time, which was the computer department.
His parents originally wanted him to apply for accounting, thinking that he would not be easily unemployed in the future if he had a skill, but out of rebelliousness, he applied for the computer department himself.
Now it seems that it was a good thing.
Gao Jihui's tuition and living expenses for four years of university were almost all paid by his sisters.
The two elder sisters went to work in factories in other provinces. Factories in big cities offer much higher salaries than those in small towns. They give a lot of money to their parents every year, and they can also take care of their younger brother's tuition and living expenses.
The parents who had always ignored the two elder sisters began to pay attention to the sisters after the elder sister left the family. Occasionally, they would praise his elder sister for her ability in front of Gao Jihui.
Gao Jihui was disdainful.
So what if they are capable? For those who have not received education for a few years and can barely read a few words, the bottom line of life is obvious at a glance. Unlike him, the future is promising.
But just when he graduated and found a decent job, when he was carrying a lot of things home during the Chinese New Year, he found a car parked at the door of his house.
A Mercedes-Benz.
Daben was a very rare thing at the time, a car that only the boss could drive.
Gao Jihui stood in front of the car and stared blankly, while bursts of laughter came from his home not far away.
"Zhaodi has always been very capable. She helps us at home and takes care of her younger brother. Even when she goes out to work, she never forgets about home. Even her brother's tuition is borne by her and Pandi!"
In the yard, his eldest sister, Gao Zhaodi, was dressed fashionably. Sitting beside her was a man with slicked-back hair and a long black cloak. He looked very dignified at first sight.
The eldest sister and the man held hands and smiled sweetly.
For the first time, he discovered that the eldest sister was not ugly when dressed up, but quite beautiful.
People in the yard noticed Gao Jihui. He raised an unnatural smile and entered the house carrying his things.
That night, Gao Jihui turned over and left the bedroom to go to the stove to drink water. Passing by his parents' room, he saw that the light in the room was still on. He was about to go see his parents, but as soon as he walked to the door, he heard his parents' whispered discussion in the room.
Gao's mother: "I felt that I had neglected Zhaodi and Pandi too much. Look at the prospective son-in-law Zhaodi brought back. His clothes were so elegant and his car was also elegant. He took me for a ride and everyone in the town looked back at the car. I was so proud of him."
Gao's father: "The cigarettes he gave me were good and pure. He also gave me a box of cigars. I heard that they were high-end foreign goods that only the godfathers and big bosses could afford!"
Gao's mother: "Oh, when will Ah Hui achieve such success? We tried our best to make him study hard, but in the end he is not as promising as his sister. What did we gain?"
Father Gao: "Long hair makes short-sighted! Ah Hui is the sole heirloom of our Gao family. Even if he has no future, his sister will help him. Zhaodi and Pandi are daughters. A married daughter will throw away the water, no matter how promising he is." You can’t be considered a member of the Gao family!”
Gao’s mother smacked her lips, feeling that these words sounded awkward. : "I wonder why your words are contradictory. After Zhao Di and Pandi got married, she became an outsider, so why should they help A Hui? If they help A Hui, even if they get married, they will still be the children of our Gao family. Huh?"
Father Gao's face turned red at her words, and he couldn't think of anything to say in reply.
Gao's mother pushed him and said, "I now think my daughter is pretty good. Don't keep saying those irrelevant words. If our future son-in-law hears them, he might label our family as the remnants of feudalism!" It’s not easy for Zhaodi to find such a marriage. If you dare to ruin it, I will divorce you!”
After that, Gao Jihui didn’t listen to what his parents said.
He only knew that in his parents’ eyes, In the past, he was not considered successful. His sister came out on top and found a rich husband, which made him look better than her!
This time, Gao Jihui did not stay at home until the end of the holiday, but left with the excuse that the company had something to do. He bought a ticket and left in a hurry on the third day of junior high school.
Since then, Gao Jihui has developed the habit of buying lottery tickets.
His salary was originally divided into three parts: one for himself, one for his parents, and one for saving.
Now, the part that was originally used for savings has all been invested in lottery tickets.
Scratch lottery, sports lottery, welfare lottery, double color ball... With several thousand bets every month, almost everyone in the lottery shops near his rental house and company knew him.
And that person was someone he met outside the lottery shop.
On this day, he didn't win the 100-yuan scratch-off lottery again, so he followed the As usual, I bought lottery tickets for a few hundred yuan and left the lottery shop with the money in my pocket.
Before I walked far, I was stopped by a man.
The man was wearing strange clothes, with a black hood covering half of his face. He stood at the door of a closed shop and said, "Young man, do you want to win the lottery?"
Gao Jihui didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but after hearing this, After that, he took a step back and turned to look at the strange man and asked him, "Do you want me to give you ten dollars to buy the winning numbers you predicted?"
Unexpectedly, the man shook his head and said "It's free, and you can win the prize right now."
Gao Jihui frowned.
The man took out a strange yellow talisman, handed it to Gao Jihui, and said, "Go buy it."
Gao Jihui was skeptical, so he simply This thing is free, so why not give it a try? So I took the yellow talisman and went back to the nearby lottery shop and bought another scratch ticket.
He bought the most expensive one, and the prize money after winning was also high, NT$300,000.
When he scratched the winning number, he couldn't believe his eyes. After checking it again and again, he was so excited that his whole body was numb. , and it took a long time before he could move.
He didn't have time to claim the prize, and hurried to find the hooded man.
But the hooded man had already left, leaving only a note.
[The promise has been fulfilled, we'll meet at midnight. After he finished reading the note
, it flew away with the wind, as if it had never existed.
Gao Jihui stood there excitedly for a long time, knowing that he had met a master.
Suppressing his excitement, he went to find the store owner. Redeemed the prize.
After deducting taxes, the amount of 300,000 yuan was more than 200,000 yuan, which was almost his annual salary. That night
, he waited excitedly at home, counting the clock on the wall restlessly.
When he pointed to twelve o'clock, there was a knock on the door.
He trembled and went to open the door.
Outside the door was the strange man in the cloak.
The man smiled, showing his white teeth, and asked, "You, do you still want to Make more money? "
