Chapter 5 Lottery - Back to 18, I became rich by spending money
When I woke up in the morning, before I was fully awake, I heard the system's voice in my head.
"According to the system's evaluation, the host's happiness index yesterday was B. Current disposable points are: 4. Yesterday's rebate: 1415."
Wen Yan heard the cold voice of the system in her head, and her mind suddenly cleared up. She sat up immediately and called up the personal attribute screen. She saw that the disposable points at the bottom had changed to 4, and there was a 1415 yuan waiting to be withdrawn. Seeing the 1415 appear on it, Wen Yan was truly happy. For her rebirth, she now had nothing but the sense of security that money gave her.
I immediately clicked the withdrawal button and saw the text message alert sound on my phone.
"【Huaxia Industrial and Commercial Bank of China】Your account ending in **** received 1415 yuan on May 22nd, and the balance is 1615 yuan."
It’s actually possible to withdraw cash!
Wen Yan looked at the message and smiled foolishly, then burst into tears. Her eyes were red from crying. Money isn't everything, but it's absolutely essential. In her past life, it was because of it that she had ruined her family.
After finally calming down, Wen Yan put away her phone and continued to look at her stats panel. After some thought, she decided to add all the attribute points she had received before the college entrance examination to her intelligence. After all, the initial score of 34 had really shocked her. She had never imagined that her IQ, which had always been praised for its intelligence, would be so low.
The key points of the Gaokao were clearly marked, and even though I didn't remember most of the papers I'd taken in my previous life, I would still remember them if I encountered the same type of questions. I could attribute all my points to my intelligence, and I would feel more confident about the Gaokao.
She turned around and looked at her phone again. Looking at the payment on the phone, she was still smiling foolishly. Oh, right, she suddenly thought of it.
"System, is the source of funds received by the bank card reasonable? I hope that one day I will be taken away by the country for slicing." Wen Yan suddenly asked.
"No, the source of the rebate funds will not be traced to anyone, so you can use it without worry!"
Hearing the system's answer, Wen Yan nodded thoughtfully. That's good, but because the amount received now is relatively small, when the amount is larger, I still have to find a reasonable channel to pay it. Otherwise, I won't know how to buy things and I won't be able to use them.
After washing up and while eating, Dad Wen came out of the room wearing shorts and looking sleepy.
Wen Mingxiu saw his precious daughter sitting there eating breakfast obediently, and then thought of the meal she had left for him yesterday. Hmm, it smelled so good!
"Yanyan, eat quickly. Dad will take you to school after you finish eating." He was going to take his daughter to school today. That's right! He decided to take his daughter to school every day before the college entrance examination. His daughter was about to take the exam, so he couldn't waste time on the road.
Wen Yan looked at her father with tears in her eyes. Her father's hair was still white, and he hadn't been bent by gambling debts. Feeling guilty about having implicated his children, he went to work at a construction site to move bricks to pay off his debts. His health deteriorated, and he passed away early. Although her mother was extremely disappointed with her father, she also became depressed after he passed away, and she would often say, "Your damn father never did anything good in his life, and he didn't leave anything for you. But he just walked away, leaving a huge mess for his children." If it weren't for the burden of the family, her parents' relationship would have always been good.
"Hmm," Wen Yan replied, blinking and covering her eyes. She had considered getting her parents to divorce, but now she thought it was unrealistic. If they did, neither of them would want to, and as their children, she couldn't make the decision for them. She had to find another way.

Sitting in the car, Wen Mingxiu looked at his daughter who was reading a book in the back seat and said, "Yanyan, the college entrance examination is coming soon. Don't feel stressed. We will go to whichever school we get into. Keep a good attitude."
"Don't worry, I got it, Dad." Wen Yan replied, rolled his eyes, and suddenly asked, "Dad, are you still going to play the lottery with Uncle Li these two days?"
"Well, speaking of this, your dad and I looked at another set of numbers with your Uncle Li yesterday, and they were really good. Who knew that when the numbers were announced in the evening, they were off by one digit. Sigh." Wen Mingxiu slapped the steering wheel angrily when he thought of this.
When Wen Yan heard this, he knew that he had probably beaten a lot last night. His face darkened and he asked, "Dad, how many times did you beat him yesterday?"
"Hehe, your uncle Li and I bet 200 times in total," Wen Mingxiu said, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed and rubbing his head as he smiled at his daughter.
Wen Yan knew it, and she was so angry that she held the book tightly, not knowing what to say.
Wen Mingxiu, looking at his daughter's expression, felt a little inexplicably guilty for some reason.
"Dad, let me tell you, I had a classmate in junior high school whose family got into trouble because of gambling. The more they gambled, the more money they had. Later, they owed loan sharks and their family was ruined. My classmate dropped out of school because of this and had to work to pay off his gambling debts. Later, the whole family couldn't even afford to eat." Wen Yan gave her father an example, looked at her father seriously and said, "Dad, you are addicted to the lottery. If you keep playing, maybe your daughter won't even be able to go to school in the future. She will have to work to pay off your debts. No one may want her in the future."
When Wen Mingxiu heard his daughter say this, he quickly explained, "Nonsense! My daughter is so delicate and pretty, how could no one want her? Besides, Dad doesn't beat her that often, so why would she borrow money from a loan shark?"
Seeing that her father didn't take it seriously, Wen Yan said to him, "Think about it, if you play a lot, Mom won't give you money to buy lottery tickets, and you'll end up owing the lottery money. The more you play, the more money you'll owe. What if the lottery asks you to pay it back and you can't? If someone tells you to take out a loan with low interest rates and monthly installments, wouldn't you think, 'Wow, that's not bad. It won't put too much pressure on you every month, so you'll take out a loan?'"
Seeing his daughter's seriousness, Wen Mingxiu pondered the possibilities she was suggesting. The more he thought about it, the more he broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing that he had taken her at heart, Wen Yan felt a sense of urgency and asked, "Dad, do you already owe the lottery shop owner some money? If he asks you to pay it off tomorrow, and Mom gets angry about you owing her so much and refuses to pay it, will you get so angry that you'll fight with Mom?"
"Nonsense, the more you talk, the more outrageous it gets. How could I fight with your mother?" Wen Mingxiu immediately retorted when he heard this. How could it be possible? He is a good Chinese man in the new century. How could he fight with his wife?
Seeing his rebuttal, Wen Yan asked, "How much do you owe now?"
Wen Mingxiu fell silent. He thought about how, when he was buying lottery tickets yesterday, Old Wu at the lottery station had told him he already owed over 5,300 yuan, which, including yesterday's, made 5,500 yuan. He'd been told to settle it in the next two days. He didn't know how to approach his wife about it. A hundred or two hundred yuan wouldn't bother her, but with so much money, she'd definitely argue with him.
Seeing her father remained silent, Wen Yan continued, "By the way, Dad, no one can ask you to go out for a drink before my college entrance exam. If you drink and act crazy, the whole family will have to take care of you, which might affect my state of mind for the exam. If that happens, I might get a few points less on the exam."
After hearing his daughter's words, Wen Mingxiu replied, "Don't worry, I promise not to go out drinking before your college entrance examination. Our baby's college entrance examination is the most important thing for the whole family right now."
After dropping his daughter off at school, Wen Mingxiu drove to the shop, opened the door, and sat down on a chair. He began to think about what his daughter had said. He then looked at yesterday's sales: only 753 yuan. Sales this month were low, meaning he was spending a third of his daily sales on lottery tickets. The more he thought about it, the more frightening it became. No way. His daughter was about to go to college, and she needed money. He also wanted to buy her a new phone and a laptop before she went off. Mr. Wang, the neighbor, bought his son a laptop last year; I heard it cost nearly 20,000 yuan. His daughter had to have one too! But what was he going to do with all the money he'd spent on lottery tickets?
The more I think about it, the more headache I get. How should I tell my wife to give me more than 5,000 yuan to pay off the lottery? It's such a headache.
No, I can’t play this lottery anymore. I need to save money to buy a computer for my baby daughter.
