"They set me up and lured me into a trap."
"If it weren't for this..."
"Then you wouldn't have lost so much, would you?" Wang Tianxiao sneered. "Even now, you're still thinking about this kind of thing. It seems you haven't completely woken up yet."
"That's how it is. If it weren't for that, how could I have lost so much money? And if I hadn't lost so much, how could I have borrowed so much money..."
“Alright, you have a point,” Wang Tianxiao sighed, knowing that this person was completely beyond redemption. “However, none of this concerns us. If you’re willing to sell your shop, then sell it to me. If not, then I’ll leave now. As for what happens next, you can handle it yourself. I ran into you today and shielded you, but I won’t stay here forever, you understand.”
"You...aren't you in cahoots? You just want to use them to buy my shop, right? That must be it, you...you..."
As the shop owner continued speaking, he couldn't go on and started crying, burying his face in his hands.
"How did I end up like this? I was doing pretty well, so why couldn't I control myself? I deserve to die."
Wang Tianxiao sighed.
People who gamble don't deserve sympathy.
In his words, gambling addicts deserve a terrible death.
In his previous life, his sister-in-law Li Yamei's husband was a complete gambler.
At that time, Li Yamei's family grew flue-cured tobacco, covering more than ten acres.
Flue-cured tobacco is a very difficult cash crop to grow, as anyone who has grown it knows.
They climbed to the sky and knelt on the ground, enduring countless hardships from planting seedlings to curing tobacco leaves.
But flue-cured tobacco can indeed be sold for money.
In the mid-1990s, if you cultivated it properly, a dozen mu (approximately 0.67 hectares) of flue-cured tobacco could sell for more than 10,000 yuan.
But that damned gambler, every time he sold his tobacco, he wouldn't go home. He would take the money and gamble until he lost it all before returning.
It's the same every year.
This left Li Yamei and her two children in a truly pitiful situation, beyond words.
She was a hardworking and resilient person, but because she met such a scumbag man, she never had a good life.
In this lifetime, Wang Tianxiao will definitely find a way to prevent her from seeing that bastard again.
Right now, this shop owner is facing the same problem.
Therefore, Wang Tianxiao felt no sympathy, but rather a sense of disgust.
"You said before that the shop would sell for 30,000, right?"
"Yes, 30,000. I owe them 30,000 yuan. They won't let me go without it." The shop owner's eyes lit up when he heard about the money.
Wang Tianxiao nodded. "But you know, your shop isn't actually worth 30,000 yuan, is it?"
The shop owner wanted to deny it, but ultimately nodded.
The market price is there, and there's no point in denying it; he's not the only shop around.
"How about this? I'll give you 30,000 yuan, and all the matches and other items in the shop will be included in that amount as compensation for the price difference. According to the market price, your shop is probably worth a little over 20,000 yuan. I'll compensate you for everything in the shop, including the goods in the warehouse."
"I see..." The shopkeeper pondered for a moment, then his eyes dimmed. Perhaps he had calculated that even with everything included, it seemed he really couldn't beat the price. "Alright then, I'll give you everything."
"You agreed?"
“Well,” the shopkeeper sighed, “what can I do if I don’t agree? They’re pressuring me so hard; if I don’t give it to them, they definitely won’t let me off the hook.”
“Okay, since you have no problem, then get the property certificate ready. Tomorrow and the day after are the weekend, so we’ll go and process the transfer on Monday.”
"good."
Wang Tianxiao glanced at the sky; it wasn't very early. He said to the shop owner, "You can continue selling some of the items in the shop to earn some living expenses, but don't move them out. That's my bottom line. I don't like dishonest people."
The shop owner was taken aback, then stood up and nodded. This was the first time he had ever been polite to Wang Tianxiao.
In that instant, Wang Tianxiao realized that the shop owner wasn't actually hopelessly bad.
.
Three days later, Wang Tianxiao successfully completed the transfer of the shop.
He held onto the money until the two thugs arrived, then handed it over to the shop owner, making him pay in full on the spot. He also warned them again not to provoke the shop owner, saying he had already squeezed enough out of him.
Don't take advantage of just one person.
When the thugs saw that Wang Tianxiao could actually come up with so much money, and after they secretly investigated Wang Tianzhong and discovered that Wang Tianxiao was indeed the younger brother of the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, they became much more polite to Wang Tianxiao and promised that they would never cause trouble for the shop owner again.
This was Wang Tianxiao's last bit of concern for the shop owner.
He was worried that the shop manager wouldn't be able to control him; if he gave the money to him, he would gamble it away, and if he lost it all, he would really have nothing left.
That's how gamblers are; they always think they can turn things around in the next round.
I think it's just bad luck.
In reality, winning and losing are equal odds, and over a longer timeframe, you simply can't win money.
What's even more serious is that those who set up these schemes have already set traps; how could they possibly let others make money off them?
Therefore, the saying "nine out of ten gamblers lose" applies here.
Now that the money has been paid back, although I lost a shop, at least I've regained my freedom.
If you really want to live a good life, there is still a chance to make a comeback.
As for dealing with thugs, that's not his job; that's a professional matter and should be handled by professionals.
In Qingcheng, he was just an ordinary businessman.
After taking over the shop, he asked Zhang Wenyuan to find someone to help him obtain the relevant licenses and permits, and a fresh milk supply store named "Nuanyangyang" was thus ready.
