Li Yuzhu tore open the packaging box. The new cards were very regular, with four identical cards in a row. She took out all the A, 2, and 3 cards from one side, then took out all the J, Q, and K suit cards from the other side, and threw the rest of the cards on the ground.
Li Yuzhu turned around, her back to Yi Xiaofan, and shuffled the cards. This kind of person might not be good at other things, but he has the best eyesight when it comes to cards. He can cheat by just a whiff of something. You can't let him see you shuffling the cards.
After shuffling the cards, Li Yuzhu turned around and said, "I've finished shuffling the cards. Now, can you take out the IOU?"
Yi Xiaofan took out the IOU and placed it on the ground behind him. He said, "If I lose the bet, the IOU is yours. What if you lose the bet?"
Li Yuzhu said defiantly, "Stop talking nonsense. If I lose the bet, I'll be yours. I also have a 50% chance of winning, so you're not guaranteed to beat me. Draw a card; whoever draws a character wins!"
Li Yuzhu was really afraid he would cheat, so she squatted down, lowered her hands, and covered them with her skirt. Through the fabric of her skirt, Yi Xiaofan would have no chance of cheating; Li Yuzhu wouldn't let him see the cards.
He's a real scoundrel; he actually touched places Li Yuzhu shouldn't have.
Enraged, Li Yuzhu raised her hand and slapped his right hand away, shouting, "What are you doing? If you continue to molest me like this, I'll call the police!"
Yi Xiaofan shamelessly retorted, "You're covering yourself so tightly with your skirt, how could I know where your hands are? Isn't it normal for my hands to touch the wrong place?"
Even if Dong Qing was stupid, he knew that Yi Xiaofan was touching his wife. In anger, he raised his right foot and kicked Yi Xiaofan to the ground.
Dong Qing kicked him three times. When he kicked him a fourth time, Li Yuzhu said, "Don't be impulsive, okay? Let him get up and draw the card."
Dong Qing really wanted to kick the kid to death. After hearing his wife's words, he kicked him twice more to suppress his anger.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Yi Xiaofan didn't dare say anything. He stood up, drew a card from the middle, and pulled his hand out from under Li Yuzhu's skirt. This kind of gambling was all about luck.
After Yi Xiaofan drew his cards, Li Yuzhu stood up and stood in front of him, waiting for the result.
If Li Yuzhu said she wasn't scared, she wouldn't believe it herself. She was really afraid of losing the bet, and her heart was in her throat, as if it was about to jump out of her mouth.
Under normal circumstances, Yi Xiaofan should have revealed his cards immediately, and the outcome would have been clear in an instant.
He didn't reveal his cards immediately; instead, he covered them with both hands, making it even more intriguing. Li Yuzhu said angrily, "Hey, Yi, hurry up and reveal your cards!"
Yi Xiaofan said, "What's the rush? Are you in such a hurry to marry me?"
After hearing this, Li Yuzhu really wanted to kick her man and cripple his manhood.
Just as Yi Xiaofan was about to reveal his cards, Dong Qing suddenly grabbed his hands and said, "Wait?"
The sudden turn of events startled Yi Xiaofan. He hugged his hands even tighter, but Dong Qing pried them open and pulled out two playing cards from between his palms: a King of Hearts and a Two of Spades. Both cards were of the same brand and had identical patterns on the back.
What is cheating? Yi Xiaofan's method is cheating. He prepares a two of spades in advance. No matter what card he draws, he will not keep it. He will reveal the two of spades and hide the drawn card. His method is too fast for Dong Qing and his wife to detect.
Dong Qing grabbed his hands and angrily said, "Yi Xiaofan, are you even a man? You dare to lie to a woman! Yuzhu, he lost, pick up the IOU and tear it up!"
Li Yuzhu didn't need to be polite. She walked behind Yi Xiaofan, bent down to pick up the IOU from the ground, tore it to shreds with both hands, and then threw the pieces of paper on the ground.
Dong Qing picked up the King of Hearts from the ground and said, "Yu Zhu, if you're going to lose, make sure he accepts it gracefully. Check all your cards and see if you're missing a King of Hearts or a Two of Spades."
Li Yuzhu spread the cards on the ground and checked them. Indeed, one King of Hearts was missing, but all four 2s were still there.
Dong Qing said, "Yi Xiaofan, if you're a man, admit defeat. Even if you drew a face card, or even a two of spades, you'd still lose if you cheated. If you want to cheat, I'll play along. I, Dong Qing, may not cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of it either."
Faced with the evidence, Yi Xiaofan's attempts to deny it were futile. He said, "You two just wait, I'll settle this score with you sooner or later."
Yi Xiaofan lost both his wife and his army. He left behind a harsh remark, rode off on his bicycle, and actually just used that as a cover-up. After all, cheating wasn't exactly honorable.
Some might ask, "Yi Xiaofan must be very rich, since he gambles every day."
In reality, he was just a thief. How many thieves in those days were actually wealthy? They stole more than he threw away. No matter how much money he had, it wouldn't be enough for him to eat, drink, gamble, and whore. No amount of money was enough for him to throw away in that area.
Actually, he gambles by cheating. If he were to gamble by luck, he wouldn't win every time. Every night, he would let Dongqing win a few rounds at the beginning, and then make him lose money. If he didn't let him win even once, he would have stopped gambling long ago.
In short, he will lose money every night, but he won't lose too much. He will lose a few dozen yuan a day, and occasionally he will win a few dozen yuan or even over a hundred yuan in one night. If he is not allowed to win even once, Dong Qing, no matter how stupid he is, will know that Yi Xiaofan is cheating. If that happens, can this game continue?
Yi Xiaofan wouldn't let Dong Qing lose so much every day. His goal was to use gambling to break up their marriage and entice him to continue gambling. As long as he could gamble with him often, that would be enough. His ultimate aim was to make Li Yuzhu unable to accept her husband's gambling and to file for divorce on her own.
The gambling debt of 3,600 yuan was accumulated over more than a year, little by little. Yi Xiaofan's real intention was not to let him lose several thousand yuan at once, as that would not achieve the result he wanted.
Yi Xiaofan's goal was to get him to gamble every day, so that Li Yuzhu would automatically file for divorce because she couldn't stand her husband's gambling.
But he never dreamed that Dong Qing was a reincarnation and would never fall into his trap or follow his planned path.
If Dong Qing continues to gamble, Yi Xiaofan will not come to his house to collect debts, because coming to his house to collect debts is not part of his plan; he is playing the long game.
Four people were playing mahjong, two of whom were shills. No matter how much money Yi Xiaofan won, he would return it to them, and they would also receive some benefits from Yi Xiaofan. Their goal was to scheme against Dong Qing, and their target for revenge was Li Yuzhu, hoping that she would not be able to stand her husband's gambling and would automatically divorce him. In the end, Yi Xiaofan's scheme failed.
After Dong Qing lost all his money, Yi Xiaofan would lend it to him, and then return it to him shortly afterward. This kind of gambling had nothing to do with whether Yi Xiaofan was rich or poor; the purpose was to deceive Dong Qing alone, or more precisely, to trick Li Yuzhu into divorcing her husband.
