These four people were all idle and unemployed hooligans in the town. In the past, Wencai had been under the protection of the old ladies and rarely came into contact with such people, so he had no idea how dangerous these people were.
"Jianwaer, come here and teach our Young Master Li a lesson. Xiaowei and I will go buy some bottles of water."
Zhaoyang winked at Xiaowei and handed Wencai to Jianwaer.
"Hey everyone, I'm not going to fight anymore. I'm in a hurry to get out, and I don't have much money on me."
Wencai said this and was about to leave in unison, but was forced back by Zhaoyang.
"Brother, we're just playing small, with small wins and losses. We're just having fun and killing time. If you're a man, sit down. Don't be so shy like a woman. I'll buy some water and be back soon."
Wencai, who has always been very concerned about his reputation, could not stand others saying that he was not a man, so he stayed with gritted teeth.
Zhaoyang and Xiaowei got up and left together, walked to the department store across the street and bought a few bottles of soda.
The two of them lit a cigarette together and leaned against the plane tree at the entrance of the department store, smoking and discussing.
"Xiao Wei! You said we don't make much money just getting some rebar at the construction site. Didn't you just say that guy's family is very rich? Why don't we play the long game and make a killing from him?"
Zhaoyang took two puffs, blew out a round smoke ring in the air, and began to tell Xiaowei his own thoughts. Zhaoyang seemed to see the shadow of money in his eyes.
"Slaughter? How? Are they cheating together?"
"How much money can you make from cheating? Didn't I say, play the long game and catch the big fish? Let him have a taste of the sweetness today. You know him, of course you know where he lives. From now on, you will be responsible for calling him out every day and giving him a few sweet treats. Once he's addicted, we'll make a killing. That way, none of us brothers will have to be single. We'll have enough money to eat, drink, and play with women."
Xiaowei looked at Zhaoyang with an incredulous expression, sizing him up and down as if it were his first day meeting him. He finished the cigarette in his hand in one gulp and threw it to the ground.
"I didn't realize you were so scheming. I'll have to be careful of you from now on. Otherwise, I'll be sold out by you one day, and I'll still be counting your money with a smile!"
"What are you talking about! We are brothers. I won't cheat you even if I cheat anyone! What do you think? Do you think my idea is feasible?"
Zhaoyang patted Xiaowei on the shoulder and asked him with a smile whether his idea was feasible.
Normally, they would team up to cheat people out of small amounts of money, but this time they were going to let others win their money. For them, it was as easy as pie.
"Who are we? What can possibly trouble us? Let's go! Send money to the God of Wealth."
Xiaowei said this confidently, and the two of them walked back to the other side of the street, shoulders linked, carrying sodas.
"Come on, Li Wencai, right? Drink a bottle of water, and I'll call you Wencai from now on. How's it going? Have you learned it?"
As soon as Zhaoyang came back, he first handed a bottle of soda to Wencai and tried to get close to Wencai.
"How easy is this? How can it be difficult for me?"
Wencai was still the same, always overestimating himself and thinking he was omnipotent. He also spoke with an air of condescension.
"Alright! I can tell from the looks of it that Brother Wencai is no ordinary person. He will definitely achieve great success in the future."
“That’s it!”
"Well, let's try a couple of them first?"
Zhaoyang skillfully shuffled the poker cards on the stone, and winked at Xiaowei, indicating that he should tell the strategy to the other two card players, Jianwaer and Jiaan.
Xiaowei understood what he meant and told Wencai and Zhaoyang the plan while they were chatting.
"Okay! Let's try it. But let me tell you first, I really don't have much money with me today."
"Don't worry, maybe the money in your pocket will double! You're a capable person, we may not be able to beat you!"
Zhaoyang started dealing cards as he spoke. Wencai was lucky, getting a pair of tens and a king in the first hand. He sat down next to Zhaoyang and, according to the rules, was the first to speak.
"How much does this cost?"
"One cent, two cents, fifty cents, it's all fine. You're the first one, so the decision on how much to sell is up to you."
"Okay, one piece then."
Wencai generously took out a dollar and threw it on the table. What a rich man! He just threw a dollar. These hooligans who usually played small cards were really shocked.
The four of them looked at each other. Given the situation, if they really let the game go, they wouldn't have enough money to compensate!
"Xiaowei, speak up! Once the arrow is shot, there's no turning back. Wencai isn't afraid, so why should you be afraid? Don't let me down."
Seeing that everyone was stunned, Zhaoyang quickly reminded Xiaowei in a veiled manner.
Xiaowei carefully examined the cards in his hand. He had a good hand, a decent straight flush. In the past, this hand would have surely won him a lot of money, so he was reluctant to throw it away.
Seeing that Xiaowei was reluctant to give up the money but also reluctant to put down the cards in his hand, Zhaoyang immediately understood that Xiaowei must have got good cards. He quickly coughed twice to remind Xiaowei again.
Xiao Wei looked at him helplessly and reluctantly put down the cards in his hand, "Ouch! What kind of luck is this? I don't want it."
Jianwaer had a bad hand, and when he heard Xiaowei say that he wanted to give in, he gritted his teeth and bet money.
In this way, Wencai easily won the first battle and reaped rich rewards.
True and false, false and true, Wencai became more and more excited in the play, and Zhaoyang and the other three accompanied him in the play until sunset.
…
"Brother Wencai, the sun is already setting. We have to leave. How about we meet again tomorrow?"
