Chapter 123: Chapter 110: Brother Tongzi Catches One and Keeps Plucking!

Ping County, Room 1003, Building 12, Jindi Garden District.

Inside the room, thick smoke swirled like a fairyland.

Four men and two women were playing poker on a large coffee table in the living room.

The marble surface of the coffee table was covered with bright red hundred-yuan bills.

The sensory thrill of playing poker with cash is far more intense than using cards and game chips as substitutes.

This place was a property Yan Ping bought for investment purposes, which she turned into a secret gambling den.

Every few days, she would invite a group of poker buddies to come and play.

"I’ll call with 5000, let’s see what you’ve got!"

Yan Ping flung a handful of hundred-yuan bills onto the small pile of money on the table, revealing her cards with a slap.

QKA Flush!

This was the best hand Yan Ping had gotten tonight.

In this round, she kept following the bets, totaling over 20,000 yuan.

"Hurry up, hurry up, stop wasting time, not even as straightforward as a woman like Yanzi."

"Old Wang, can you do it or not? Stop dawdling, hurry up."

"Hahaha, sorry Yanzi, it seems my luck is quite good tonight, just a little better than yours."

A short, skinny, bald middle-aged man sitting opposite Yan Ping said as he threw his cards onto the table.

"Damn! Three eights! Old Wang, you’re on fire this round!"

"Damn it, Old Wang is winning big tonight!"

"Luckily, I ran fast! A Flush and three-of-a-kind, it’s a battle between gods, my Aces are nothing!"

"What bad luck! My mother-in-law always tells me to go to the hospital, she must be affecting my fortune with her bad luck!"

Yan Ping lost over 20,000 yuan in one go, cursing and blaming her loss on her mother-in-law.

"Keep going, don’t worry about temporary losses, the one who laughs last is the winner."

The man everyone called Old Wang swept the pile of cash on the table in front of him and urged everyone to continue playing.

"Yanzi, your husband..."

"Don’t mention him, better if he’s dead, then life insurance can pay out some money."

"Hahaha, when your husband is gone, let’s pair up and live together."

"Get lost, with your little thing, living with you wouldn’t be much better than being a widow."

"Old Wang, stop dreaming about Yanzi. Her man is a tall guy over six feet and handsome, you’re nowhere near."

As everyone laughed and joked, they started the next round.

Suddenly, the door was forcefully pushed open from the outside with a bang.

A group of policemen in uniforms with batons rushed into the room.

"Nobody move!"

"Hands on your head, squat down!!"

"Stay put!!!"

Listening to the policeman’s angry shouts, Yan Ping and her group were all stunned.

At this point, Yan Ping was still angrily cursing in her heart.

It must be her husband’s family’s bad luck affecting her!

Losing money all night was one thing.

Now being caught on the spot, this was the worst luck ever!!!

Facing a well-armed group of policemen, no one dared to resist. They all obediently squatted to the ground.

What followed was taking photos for evidence and confiscating gambling funds.

Finally, they put handcuffs on everyone and took them away.

...

The temperature was still very low on the morning of the fourth day of the new year.

Early in the morning, there were few vehicles and pedestrians on the street.

Tian Mingrong, having nothing to do after breakfast at home, walked to the store to open for business.

Even though the Double Color Ball doesn’t draw during the New Year holiday.

There are still plenty who come to buy lottery tickets or scratch cards.

Like yesterday, in one day, the store sold over 2,000 yuan in scratch cards, earning her more than 140 yuan.

Plus, some sporadic lottery customers, she could earn about 200 yuan a day.

For a woman in her fifties who is divorced.

She is quite satisfied with this income.

Every day, selling lottery tickets and watching short dramas in the store, the work is pretty laid-back.

Having run the lottery store for a long time, accumulating regular customers, it’s a job that can support her in old age.

After all, the world is never short of people dreaming of getting rich overnight.

One batch after another, they never stop coming.

Casual buyers randomly bet two or three entries, these are just small fry.

Some veteran lottery players bet hundreds or even thousands of entries each time.

These are the true spendthrifts and the main source of the lottery store’s income.

Especially those lucky enough to have won big, they become even more convinced there’s a pattern to lotteries.

They study hot and cold numbers, different sections, big and small, odd and even.

Their expertise would make them lottery experts.

They’re convinced that if their number-picking skills are good enough, they’ll definitely win the jackpot!

If a lottery store can get a regular compulsive player, it could see several hundred more in monthly profits.

Tian Mingrong’s store has such a "Top Brother."

This "Top Brother" has nearly twenty years of lottery-buying experience, purchasing every draw without fail.

Sometimes spends forty or fifty, sometimes four or five hundred, even over a thousand.

This "Top Brother" buys several thousand yuan’s worth of tickets from Tian Mingrong’s store each month.

Before the new year, for some unknown reason, this "Top Brother" bought a mega-compound ticket from Tian Mingrong’s store totaling nearly 20,000 yuan.

Perhaps it was intuition, or he felt like he could hit the jackpot?

However, when "Top Brother" sobered up the next day, he regretted it a bit.

These days, the regret has only been growing day by day.

After running his tickets through the popular AI "DeepSeek," the winning rate was so low even dogs would shake their heads!
