Chapter 17: Thanks to my friend for the TV
In one's life, one will pass through countless alleys and enter countless doors.
Not a living thing in the physical sense.
But Zhai Da had to admit that he had not expected what would happen tonight.
He originally thought that Lu Wei came to this old Damao community to deliver some information to a co-worker.
But after winding around and arriving at the innermost bungalow area, this is the scene.
There were suddenly lights on the edge of the old community. Electric wires were pulled out from the house and wrapped around the tree, with a huge light bulb tied to it.
A group of men, some shirtless and some wearing black short-sleeved shirts, were playing cards in a smoky atmosphere.
Many people have tattoos.
The surrounding bungalows seemed to have been bought or rented, forming a relatively closed space. Several greasy tables were set up in the middle of the open space, surrounded by smoke, like fairy air.
"Straight Flush! Big or small, take it all. Money, money!"
A tattooed burly man laughed and gathered the fifty and one hundred dollar bills on the table in front of him.
This is a hidden gambling den, and it looks like it is not temporary but long-term.
A skinny middle-aged man in his forties threw his cards on the table in frustration, opened his cigarette box irritably, but found it was empty. Turning around, he saw two people who seemed to have walked in here by mistake.
One of them was wearing a school uniform, which looked out of place here.
The skinny middle-aged man waved, but Lu Wei shook her head.
So he could only stand up and walk over: "Where's the cigarette?"
Lu Wei handed over the gray group in her palm.
While unpacking and lighting the cigarette, the skinny middle-aged man looked at Zhai Da with scrutiny in his eyes, but in the end he said nothing.
After taking a sip, he said:
"Aren't you getting paid today? Where's the money?"
Lu Wei took out a thin envelope from her pocket and handed it to the other party.
The skinny middle-aged man opened the envelope, took a look, and spat, "Why is it only 500? Isn't it 1300 a month?"
Lu Wei's voice remained calm. "Only 80% was paid during the probation period. I made a bad version and was fined a bit. I kept 300 for myself."
The skinny middle-aged man snorted and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go, let's go. Women are unlucky. All your luck is gone."
Lu Wei stood there without moving until Zhai Da took her hand and turned around.
He already felt some scrutiny.
The skinny middle-aged man looked at Lu Wei and walked back into the darkness.
He looked at the two people holding hands, thoughtfully.
Only after they had completely left the area of light did Zhai Da ask, "Is that your father?"
Lu Wei nodded.
Zhai Da sighed
Angrily, the tone was very serious.
"You shouldn't be like this?"
"What?"
"You could have told me in advance, even if it was almost there, and asked me to wait a little, instead of making me see it with my own eyes. This would have made it difficult for me, and it's not safe either."
Lu Wei was silent for a long time and only responded with one sentence.
"sorry."
Why do we always forget... that people can only show their good side...
The way back seemed even darker, but Zhai Da did not hold Lu Wei's hand again.
Lu Wei's footsteps also silently lagged behind Zhai Da by a few steps.
Until I heard Zhai Da say:
"If I report them like this, they'll start to suspect that a high school student did it tonight..."
Lu Wei: ...
Zhai Da pulled out his phone and said, "Let me make it clear to you first. I have always been sworn enemies of gambling and drugs, and I hate evil as much as I can. Even if it's your dad, I won't miss this opportunity to make money... I mean, the chance to eradicate this evil."
Lu Wei stood there blankly, as if her little brain had gone crazy.
"You're okay with that, right? After all, you don't want your dad to gamble anymore, right? I'll help you get him in for a few days to sober up. It's for your own good!"
If it were an ordinary student, he would probably be scared to death when he saw the tattoo.
But Zhai Da is not like that. He only knows that the waiters in restaurants in big cities, the delivery guys, Tony in the barber shop, and the pure love warriors in the blind date club all have tattoos.
And their service attitude is very good, and their smiles are very sweet.
Tattoos are not a sign of ferocity, they are just a sign of loneliness.
Of course, this is not the point.
According to the rules of rewarding those who report gambling in Bulk Province, he can get a reward of 3-6% of the seized gambling funds with just one phone call, with a minimum of 500 yuan.
I don't know how much money this small place has...
The only regret is that he accidentally revealed his face just now. If he was reported immediately, he would probably be implicated.
In Zhai Da's eyes, this wasn't a gambling den, it was his own little treasury...
Thanks to my friends for giving me the TV.
Zhai Da pulled Lu Wei aside and whispered, "How about this, I'll wait a couple of days before making my move. Don't let the news leak out."
Lu Wei finally returned to normal, and Zhai Da also saw the shocked expression for the first time.
As if to say: Is this still possible?
"Remember, keep it secret."
Lu Wei nodded heavily:
"I will never tell anyone else. Dad, it's time to...calm down."
Zhai Da nodded and said: "This place may not be open every day, let's keep in touch, when your father comes again,
Come find me, either at my home or at the school gate, and I'll give you two-fifths of your money, and you'll definitely get some benefits."
Lu Wei shook her head: "I don't want money..."
Zhai Da said, "Stop pretending, you poor bastard!"
As for the "support" relationship between Lu Wei and his father, Zhai Da didn't say much.
It's nothing more than a cowardly mother, a gambling father, and a broken her.
He has seen too many people like this and heard too many stories like this.
Adults are indifferent because they know that reasoning cannot save anyone, and actual action requires too much cost.
If Lu Wei still uses her salary to gamble with her father...
Just report it again!
As long as I keep in touch with Lu Wei, I can pull Lu Wei's elbow towards me...
The small treasury is directly transformed into a mobile ATM.
I finally found a TV. I was almost going to start a low-quality business...
The corner of the alley was too dark, and Zhai Da couldn't see Lu Wei's expression.
Nor could he see the icy smile melting on Lu Wei's lips.
On the way back, Zhai Da gave some precautions to his "partner". As for the darkness, he was no longer afraid of it.
His heart is now filled with the light of righteousness.
Before I knew it, my right hand was being held by a slender, slightly cold hand.
Zhai Da: "Why? Are you afraid of the dark now?"
Lu Wei held it in for a long time before blurting out, "You're so lustful..."
Zhai Da: "...You know that sense of humor can't be copied, right?"
"Now I know..."
This girl who lacks emotional fluctuations is sometimes a little off-line~
The way back is much faster than the way here.
At the entrance of the community, Yu Xiaoli was still there, but there was a taxi parked in front of her and she was bargaining with the driver.
"Why does Sunmazhuang cost 20? 15 is about right. Go to Xintian Road and turn right at Xingfu Road..."
Seeing the two people coming out, Yu Xiaoli smiled, while Zhai Da silently broke free from Lu Wei's hand.
"Xiao Lu, there's a taxi going to Sunma Village. Don't wait for the bus so late. It's not safe."
Lu Wei shook her head: "Taxi is too expensive."
Yu Xiaoli: "It's okay, I've already negotiated it, it's only ten yuan, no meter."
The taxi driver tried to communicate on the microphone, but finally gave up.
In the end, Lu Wei couldn't refuse and got into a taxi.
Yu Xiaoli added, "Master, please be careful on the road. I've already written down your license plate number. Don't raise the price halfway."
Zhai Da silently raised a thumbs up.
