Chapter 200 Warning

It was New Year's Eve again, and Deng Shirong was busy with his sons, daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law.

In Shuangwang Territory, people still have a reunion dinner at noon.

Before the meal, Deng Shirong made a summary, saying, "This year has been a year of good things for our family. First, Yunheng was admitted to Peking University and became the pride of our Deng family. Not only is he eligible to have his name in the family tree, he even has the opportunity to have his own page. This is something to be happy about."

After hearing this, all the sons, daughters and daughters-in-law had smiles on their faces, feeling a sense of honor.

In a large family like Deng Shirong's, as long as the parents are capable and impartial, the children will tend to be united. On the contrary, if the parents are incompetent and partial, the family will be divided, and the brothers will basically marry their own wives and live separately.

After his rebirth, Deng Shirong is obviously a qualified patriarch. Under his leadership, brothers and sisters are united, and aunts and sisters-in-law are as close as sisters. The family lives in harmony, which is much better than the intrigues among other big families in the village.

Deng Shirong continued happily, "Secondly, the third generation of our Deng family was born. Not long after Xiao Dong'er was born, he received an extra piece of land for the family. It can be seen that he is also a blessed person."

Zhang Xiuping patted her daughter gently and said with a smile, "Xiaodong'er, did you hear that? Grandpa is praising you for being blessed!"

Deng Yunzhen smiled and continued, "Xiao Dong'er was born in our family, she was indeed blessed. The five daughters of Zhang Qi were born into their family but were unlucky. It makes me sad to see how they live. Although her mother-in-law became more restrained after being scolded by my father, her attitude towards those girls is still not much better."

Deng Shirong said: "This is someone else's family business. As long as they don't go too far, I won't say anything. Zhang Qi's life is indeed not easy now, but when those girls grow up, she may live better than most women in the village."

This is not just talk. In her previous life, after Zhang Qi's daughters grew up, her life did become better.

Deng Yunzhen said, "Now Zhang Qi is pregnant again. I don't know if this baby is a son or a daughter. If it's a son, she'll be happy after all the hardship. If it's a daughter, then I guess she'll have a long hard time!"

Deng Shirong picked up his glass and said with a smile: "It is not our turn to worry about other people's affairs. We just need to live our own lives well. Come, let's drink together. I hope our family will have more children and make more money next year, and our lives will get better and better."

The sons, daughters and daughters-in-law raised their glasses, the adults drank wine and the minors drank soda.

In order to take care of his daughter-in-law who was still breastfeeding, Deng Shirong specially cooked a pot of ginger wine for her to drink.

The reunion dinner lasted from around noon until two or three in the afternoon.

The next step is to give New Year red envelopes to the children, and then the family sits in the living room, warming themselves by the fire and chatting, not going anywhere.

During this time, a young man from the village came over and called Deng Yuntai to play cards, but was driven away by Deng Shirong with a stern face.

Just kidding, he finally got reborn and turned his second son, who had become a professional gambler in the future, into a Peking University student. Now someone comes to ask his eldest son to play cards and gamble. How can he be happy? Gambling is a bad habit left over from the old society. As the saying goes, nine out of ten gambling cases are scams. This is a disguised robbery and a decadent lifestyle.

In the early days of liberation, gambling was still very prevalent in the county due to the remnants of feudal society. It was not until March 1954 that the public security organs took four months to sweep away the gambling trend and arrested 19 gamblers. Only then did the gambling trend come under control.

In 1956, gambling was on the rise again. That year, there were 11 gambling cases that constituted criminal offenses. In 1957, the number rose to 19. Eleven of the 17 townships in Fengshan District had gambling. The number of people participating in gambling each time was no less than 30 and could reach several hundred.

The public security organs punished some gambling bosses and gamblers, but they only suppressed the gambling trend temporarily.

By 1979, gambling had resurfaced and public security authorities cracked down on it again.

The Bangjie Brigade was naturally not immune and a large number of gamblers appeared.

Deng Shirong could only watch helplessly. No matter how high his prestige was in the village, he had no way to stop such things. The only thing he could do was to strictly forbid his children from gambling. As for other people who wanted to gamble, that was their business and he had no right to interfere.

However, seeing that someone dared to come to his house today and ask his son to play cards, he had to be alert and find an opportunity to spread the word that no one was allowed to ask his children to participate in gambling, otherwise don't blame him for turning his back on them.

In this life, with him around, all of his children are guaranteed to be billionaires. He is not afraid of his children spending money lavishly, but he is afraid that they will get involved in gambling. Gambling is really terrible. Even if you are the richest man in the world, as long as you get involved in gambling, you may become a pauper overnight due to impulse.

As long as you gamble, no matter how much money you have, it will not be yours; sooner or later it will belong to someone else.

Deng Shirong saw this clearly.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, his second son became a professional gambler in his previous life. The money of such a person is always won, and no matter how much he loses, it is all profit. It is impossible for him to lose his capital. This is the difference between ordinary gamblers and professional gamblers.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In his previous life, there were countless young people in the village who envied the life of his second son.

Because his second son's life is just playing mahjong or poker every day, he lives a very carefree life, and he always has a lot of money. This kind of life is indeed what many young people in the village dream of.

However, Deng Shirong always believed that his second son had taken the wrong path. If he had not embarked on the road of no return of gambling, with his intelligence and talent, he would have become a multi-millionaire or even a billionaire long ago.

After chasing away the young man who came to ask his eldest son to play cards, Deng Shirong said seriously: "Yuntai, and the rest of you, I want to warn you today. I will not care what you do in this life, but you must not touch gambling and drugs. No matter who of you touches them, I will break your legs if I find out."

Seeing his father's unprecedented serious expression, Deng Yuntai quickly responded, "I know, Dad. I promise not to touch these things."

The other children, including the daughter-in-law, also spoke out and said that they would never touch these two things.
