Chapter 389 Confused, Sober
To fish, one must be willing to put down the bait, especially since Jia Dongxu is still thinking of not coming back after losing all the money in his hand.
So although Jia Dongxu won and lost in that week, he won more than seventy dollars with the five dollars given to him by the gambler.
Jia Dongxu's mentality has changed. According to his thinking, if he wins enough 100, he will not come again.
Jia Dongxu was in great luck today. He had gone from following others in rowing the boat to rowing directly himself.
There was a pile of money in front of him. Jia Dongxu didn't count it, but there were at least more than a hundred dollars.
The woman who grabbed his crotch that day is now nestled in Jia Dongxu's arms.
Jia Dongxu tasted several cups of leather cup, they were very smooth and sweet.
The woman also let Jia Dongxu experience other comforts.
Jia Dongxu asked the woman to take the money herself in front of him. The woman took out a big black ten and wished she could rub herself into Jia Dongxu's body.
When awake, he holds the power of the world; when drunk, he lies on the lap of a beauty. Jia Dongxu feels that this is the life he should live.
"Master Jia, if you win a few more times, you can win a car and a house today." The woman's delicate voice seduced Jia Dongxu's ears.
Jia Dongxu, who had originally thought of stopping, was tempted by this and pushed the money in front of him back to the chip area.
Lose, win, win, lose...
Jia Dongxu didn't even count the money in front of him. He felt that maybe his luck would come soon and he would win a few times in a row, double his money, and become rich overnight.
Until he was left with nothing, all the money he had won and all his savings were gone.
It even contains his salary for this month.
Jia Dongxu rolled his eyes woodenly, and he didn't notice that his eyes were bloodshot, his face was ferocious, and the veins on his neck were bulging.
He turned his head and looked around, thinking of borrowing some money from an acquaintance to make up for his losses.
The woman who had just flattered him was not here.
The drunkard who used to take care of him is also gone!
The man who was the banker tapped his fingers in front of him and said, "Do you want to play or not? If not, get out."
Jia Dongxu looked at the money in front of the banker, which contained his family's food rations for next month.
He wanted to beg the dealer to return the money to him. If he lost the other money, it was lost. If he didn't have this money, the Jia family would have to starve next month.
But Jia Dongxu knew that this wouldn't work. He had also seen how gambling dens dealt with those scoundrels, and they would beat them to death.
Jia Dongxu stood up and walked out stiffly. He didn't know how to explain himself when he got home, or where to borrow some money to fill the hole next month.
He thought that he was unlucky and that he should quit while he was ahead, but he never considered that all this might be a setup.
"Brother, how much did you win?"
Jia Dongxu pushed open the curtain that blocked the light and heard a familiar voice. When he looked closely, he saw that it was the guy who called himself Master Fu.
Jia Dongxu looked delighted and thought about asking someone to borrow money.
But when the words came to his lips, Jia Dongxu remembered that he was not familiar with Fu Ye.
When Fu Ye saw Jia Dongxu's hesitant look, he naturally knew what he was thinking. People like Fu Ye are masters at manipulating people's hearts.
What he was best at was guessing other people's thoughts by looking at their expressions. Fu Ye understood too well Jia Dongxu, who wanted to borrow money to make a comeback but still had some rationality left.
For example, before liberation, when they encountered this situation, they would definitely take out money and lend it to Jia Dongxu in an act of generosity.
Because at that time, what we played was short, flat and fast.
But now, Fu Ye and the others are playing differently.
Although they are fishing, they want the one who is willing to take the bait.
So Mr. Fu pretended to be concerned and said, "Looks like you're unlucky? Did you lose?"
Jia Dongxu nodded in despair.
Master Fu smiled and said, "Brother, let me teach you a lesson.
If it’s easy to make money here, wouldn’t everyone be rich?
If you want to make money, you have to treat money as something other than money. The more you care about it, the less likely it is to come.
Do you think this is the truth?
If you lose ten times, as long as you are still alive, you still have a chance.
But as long as you find a chance to win once, your life will stand up.
If you lose, just admit defeat and never dare to gamble again, then you will lose your life.
As long as you don't admit defeat and hope that you'll get lucky once, you'll be able to turn things around.
Everyone has three years of good fortune. Brother, go home and have a good sleep, and come back next time."
It was certainly not merciful for Mr. Fu to advise Jia Dongxu in this way.
But now the whole society does not allow their existence.
So if you want people like Jia Dongxu to accept defeat, you can't be too impatient.
Otherwise, even if he lent the money to Jia Dongxu today and asked Jia Dongxu to write a note to mortgage his work position, as long as Jia Dongxu was willing to take the risk and report to the office, it would still be them who would be in trouble.
Things like this can't be rushed.
When Jia Dongxu heard this, he really thought he had met a good person. His expression became better and he began to thank Mr. Fu.
The next day, Jia Dongxu borrowed 40 yuan from Xin San to make up for the deficit in his family.
According to Jia Dongxu's idea, he would wait until next month's salary is paid and then pay it back to Xin San bit by bit.
However, Jia Dongxu never noticed that since Xin San became addicted to gambling, he had never been to a place like a gambling den again.
But he was very generous to Jia Dongxu. As long as Jia Dongxu asked, he would find a way to lend him money, and of course an IOU had to be written.
Of course, now that we have little money, we have little collateral.
It was easy to borrow money, and he wanted to win again to make a comeback, so Jia Dongxu did not quit his gambling addiction.
I go there several times every month, with some wins and some losses, but I win small and lose big.
It is very likely that you win a few dollars several times, but suddenly lose dozens of dollars.
Jia Dongxu attributed all those things to his own luck.
From the beginning to the end, Yi Zhonghai saw that something was wrong, but he didn't think of caring about Jia Dongxu anymore.
When the rice was ripe, things started happening in the countryside.
Not to mention He Yuzhu and his friends, even Yu Shui and her friends organized an insect extermination team and spontaneously went down to eliminate insects in the fields.
This is hard work, and the key is that manual pest control like He Yuzhu and others do is very inefficient.
Even some old farmers who speak frankly pointed out the problems.
That is, all the birds that eat insects have been wiped out this year.
Of course, such words will be criticized by leaders.
At the same time, news of increased production in various places came one after another.
The yield per mu has reached an incredible level.
There are many wise people, both educated and uneducated, but no one dares to tell the truth.
For example, He Yuzhu has a gloomy face during this period, and even gave up the voluntary labor that he was most willing to participate in in the past.
The reasons are all ready, he has to prepare to get married.
Although we say we are preparing, there is actually nothing to prepare.
He Yuzhu discussed this with Liu Ting, and Liu Ting took the initiative to suggest things like hosting a wedding banquet, but they decided to skip it.
The previous chapter was put in a small dark room, and no chapter was reviewed before the 25th. It’s still like this at the end of the month. It’s really disgusting.
