Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

The money at home absolutely cannot be used to buy Liucun lottery tickets anymore.

This time he managed to muddle through with Li Xiulan, but next time it might not work.

The money in the passbook definitely cannot be withdrawn for use either, because every withdrawal leaves a record, and Li Xiulan would spot it at a glance.

Fortunately, Wang Zhanggen has his own bank card, and there are eight thousand yuan in that card.

That was when he previously went down to the county town to help Second Brother supervise a renovation; Second Brother helped him open a salary card.

He didn't work a full month before he voluntarily let Liang Xinghua take over his job.

But Wang Erhai still deposited eight thousand yuan into his card.

He never used those eight thousand yuan, and never told Li Xiulan.

In other words, he can now freely dispose of it!

So the next day, he found an excuse and rode his motorcycle to the town.

He withdrew three hundred yuan from the bank card.

He thought: after spending these three hundred, if he still doesn't win, he'll stop playing.

That thing is a scam, a deception, very hard to win!

He knows this perfectly well in his heart!

But because he had already put some money in, he was unwilling to just stop now!

He had to win at least once!

In a flash, the draw day arrived again.

Wang Zhanggen wolfed down a few mouthfuls of dinner and hurried out the door.

"Why aren't you eating? There's still plenty of rice and dishes!"

Seeing Wang Zhanggen leave in such a rush, Li Xiulan was quite speechless.

"I'm full, you eat yourself!"

Wang Zhanggen was anxious to go place a bet at the bald man's house.

This time he felt it should be his turn to hit the number.

Even Zhong Jianguo has hit the number before; it's impossible for him not to!

"Where are you going in the middle of the night!"

Li Xiulan shouted at Wang Zhanggen's retreating back.

"I'm going to visit a neighbor!"

Wang Zhanggen left just that one sentence, then disappeared into the dark night outside.

Li Xiulan felt even more that something was off with Wang Zhanggen.

She felt Wang Zhanggen might really have another woman outside!

Don't look at this stinky man being old, riddled with illness, but his heart is still wild!

For a moment, Li Xiulan even wondered in her heart whether to secretly follow and catch him cheating.

But then she thought better of it.

Even if she caught him cheating, what could she do?

She's already old enough to lose her teeth; could she really make a fuss and divorce Wang Zhanggen over such trivial little matters?

Turn a blind eye and let it be.

Out of sight, out of mind!

Let him play; the more he plays, the faster he'll die!

His health is bad to begin with; he can't take the overexertion!

Li Xiulan thought resentfully in her heart.

Then after finishing her meal, she went to wash the dishes.

After washing the dishes, she returned alone to the living room, turned on the TV to watch an Anti-Japanese Divine Drama.

Turned the volume up to max.

Not because her ears couldn't hear, but because louder noise made it feel less quiet, less lonely.

Wang Zhanggen arrived at the bald man's house; this time he didn't bet so heavily, he was calmer, using only one hundred yuan to buy four numbers, twenty-five yuan per number; if he won, he'd get one thousand yuan, which would break even, not just break even but make a little profit!

Zhong Jianguo also came to buy numbers; this time he spent twenty yuan on ten numbers.

In a flash it was nine thirty, the draw began.

As expected, Wang Zhanggen didn't win, and Zhong Jianguo didn't win either.

For the following period, every draw day, Wang Zhanggen sneaked off to the bald man's house to buy numbers.

Until near Spring Festival, Wang Zhanggen still hadn't won once.

By this time he had already lost over a thousand yuan.

"Damn it, if I don't hit the number tonight, I'm never buying again; this is absolutely the last time!"

Wang Zhanggen cursed and grumbled, resolving firmly in his heart.

"I said long ago this thing is a scam; how did I still muddle-headedly come buy it?"

Wang Zhanggen blamed himself endlessly, yet could not pull himself away.

"How come Doctor Zhong didn't come today?"

Wang Zhanggen discovered that Zhong Jianguo was nowhere to be seen at the scene.

So he casually asked this one sentence.

Yang Xiaocai beside him replied:

"You don't know? Doctor Zhong's son has returned!"

Wang Zhanggen was stunned:

"Is that so?"

Recently he had been putting all his attention on Liucun, and hadn't noticed that Zhong Jianguo's son had returned.

Yang Xiaocai then said:

"I saw Doctor Zhong arguing with his son this morning."

"Why were they arguing?" Wang Zhanggen was stunned and surprised, "He finally came back for a visit, shouldn't they get along properly?"

Yang Xiaocai then said:

"I'm not too clear on the Za Hui Er either, it seems it's because Doctor Zhong bought Liucun, and his son discovered it, his son scolded him for being confused, and he retorted his son, saying he doesn't come back once a year, what's wrong with him going to join in the fun out of boredom?"

Hearing this, Wang Zhanggen didn't know what to say for a moment.

Because he thought of his three sons.

If his three sons found out he secretly went to buy Liucun, would they also scold him as a confused fool like Zhong Jianguo's son did?

Just as he was absorbed in thought, at this moment, Yang Xiaocai suddenly leaned over:

"Changgen, can you lend me 20 yuan? I'll pay you back immediately when I have money!"

Wang Zhanggen was scared, and hurriedly pulled himself back from his thoughts:

"Why are you borrowing money again!"

Yang Xiaocai grinned:

"Well, I'm out of money! I have a strong premonition that I'll definitely hit the number tonight! Just lend me 20!"

Wang Zhanggen didn't really want to lend, but Yang Xiaocai persisted shamelessly:

"Tonight I really can hit the number, just like last time you lent me 10 yuan, didn't I hit the number too?"

In the end Wang Zhanggen still lent Yang Xiaocai 20 yuan, and then asked him:

"What number are you buying tonight?"

Yang Xiaocai then said:

"I'm betting on a single number tonight, number 9!"

Wang Zhanggen then said:

"Then I'll bet on single 9 too! Damn it, putting two hundred yuan straight down, if it doesn't hit, I'll never play again!"

Wang Zhanggen was ruthless this time, the words he spoke were firm.

Yang Xiaocai couldn't help but exclaim:

"Brother, you really have money!"

Wang Zhanggen's face was full of pride, and he said coldly:

"It's not that I have money, it's that my son has money, all my money is given by them!"

This made Yang Xiaocai feel even worse.

Because his son not only had no promise, couldn't give him much money all year, but couldn't even find a partner!

In a blink it was nine thirty, the time for the draw.

The number drawn turned out to be 36.

Yang Xiaocai didn't hit, Wang Zhanggen didn't hit either.

This made Wang Zhanggen so angry he was furious.

He directly questioned Yang Xiaocai:

"Didn't you say you'd definitely hit tonight? You made me lose another two hundred!"

Yang Xiaocai smiled without sincerity:

"Didn't I lose 20 too? You can't blame me, I'm a victim too! Rest assured, the 20 I borrowed from you, I'll pay back later!"

Wang Zhanggen was speechless.

Carrying a heart full of depression, he left from the baldy's home.

He'll keep buying next phase, he just doesn't believe it, that he'll keep not hitting!

Before when he didn't buy, a number casually mentioned could hit!

Now that he buys, why does he keep not hitting!

Wang Zhanggen, carrying a heart full of unwillingness, walked on the road home, when nearing his home's door, he happened to pass Zhong Jianguo's Home, and discovered an ambulance was actually stopped at Zhong Jianguo's Home's door.

Looking from afar, several medical personnel were carrying Zhong Jianguo out from inside the house.

Seeing this, Wang Zhanggen was somewhat stunned, and hurriedly ran over to ask:

"What happened?"

Zhong Jianguo's son Zhong Zhiming, seeing Wang Zhanggen walk over, coldly humphed:

"It's all your fault, taking my dad to play Liucun, if anything happens to my dad, you all have to take responsibility!"
