Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

Third brother's luck was really bad today. Zheng Jun won four or five times in a row, and each time he only bet a dime or two. He played for about an hour and won more than he lost. Zheng Jun looked at the time and said to Third brother, "Third brother, that's all for today. Your luck is really bad. I'll come back another day."

"Pah, pah, pah, you crow mouth, if you want to leave, just leave, why are you nagging?"

Zheng Jun smiled, grabbed the money on the table, handed over a cigarette, and said, "Third brother, come and light a cigarette."

"Well, Junzi is sensible. He gave up the place after playing. There are people waiting for us."

Others at the table were unhappy and started to curse: "Junzi, do you know the rules? If you don't want to play, get out. It's not easy for the third brother to be the money-giving boy, why are you so angry?"

"Fuck, whose belt is not tied tightly and you are exposed, do you think it's your fault that I don't like it?"

When the third brother saw something was wrong, he pulled Zheng Jun and said to the man, "Binzi, give the third brother a favor. Junzi, if you want to leave, leave quickly. The third brother appreciates your kindness." After saying that, he put out the cigarette in his mouth, and the man stopped talking.

Zheng Jun raised his eyebrows and walked out with a few people. When they were out of the alley, they found a place where they could hide from others. He took out cigarettes and scattered them around. Then he took out the money and counted it: "3 yuan in total, 8 yuan per person, and the rest will be used for the company account."

Liu Gao and Liu Xing took the money and smiled. It was a day's salary in just a short time. Who wouldn't be happy? Zheng Jun turned to Bang Geng and said, "Jia Geng, what do you think? This is your first time here, so I didn't ask you to contribute. If you are interested, I'll give you a share next time."

Banggeng thought to himself, it looks easy to understand, not difficult, it all depends on luck, he said: "Brother Jun, this is not nice of you, how come you missed me out of such a good thing, I have never seen you bring me to see it before."

"Look at your ass. Every time you finish drinking, you go to Lingjie's crotch. You don't care where we go. It's not that you don't want to go to Lingjie's place, so I bring you here to play when I have time.

Okay, it's getting late, let's go back early. If you're interested, we can continue tomorrow. But I have to say this first, this game depends on luck, it's not guaranteed to win every time, if you have that kind of ability, why would you go to work?"

"Of course, there are winners and losers. Who dares to say that they are guaranteed to win? If you go to do these things, you are a loser. I know, I know."

Zheng Jun waved his hand, and the others dispersed. Bang Geng walked towards the courtyard alone. Zheng Jun and his friends made a circle and returned to the place where they had just gambled. This time, they did not go to the front, but went directly to another room.

As soon as the three of them entered the house, they saw the third brother sitting inside. The third brother's surname was Zhao, and he was the third child in the family. Those older than him were called Zhao San. Gradually, he became famous in the neighborhood, and some people started to call him the third brother.

Seeing the few people coming in, the third brother threw a few cigarettes over and asked, "What's up? Did you find out where they came from?"

"Of course. We dare not provoke those of us with powerful families. This kid is just a rookie and knows nothing. We had planned to bring him here a long time ago, but this kid is fascinated by Sister Ling. He always wants to go after drinking. Young people are still hot-tempered. We can't just wait here, that would be too blatant."

"Yeah, that's right. We have to bring him here unnoticed and let him decide whether to do it or not. After all, you are still working in the factory. Don't run into a fool who might make you lose your job."

"I always remember what Third Brother said. It's up to you whether you want to play or not. As long as you make the move, we won't care. If that kid is willing to participate, I'll bring him over the next day or the day after tomorrow. It's still the same old rules."

"Well, as usual, give me some sweet treats first."

"Third brother, this is the money I won tonight. It's not right to use the money you won."

"Junzi, you are here to slap me in the face. Third brother, save these little things and give them to the brothers to drink."

"Thank you, Third Brother, but this is also the rule. This is just for show. This is the reward from Third Brother. Come, thank you, Third Brother."

Liu Gao and Liu Xing also hurried to join in the fun, saying thank you to the third brother. The third brother waved his hand and said, "Go home early, you still have to go to work, I'll go to the front to take a look."

Zheng Jun and his companions quickly stood up and said goodbye. They went out the door and this time they really went back to their own homes. In the following time, Qin Huairu asked someone to find a girl for a blind date. Banggeng would always come home late two or three days a week, and go out to play on weekends. Qin Huairu didn't smell any scent on Banggeng later, so she ignored him.

But they didn't know that this month's profit would be much more valuable than going out to find the half-open door. In the first half month, Banggeng's luck was extremely good. He won more and lost less. Every time they came out, they laughed out loud. The most they got at one time was seven or eight pieces per person. Banggeng became more and more ambitious and felt that he was the king of gambling.

Zheng Jun held him back, saying that it couldn't be such a big deal. Everyone was paying a few cents for entertainment, but who could stand paying fifty or a dollar? As a result, when they came, Banggeng just followed the crowd and looked a little listless. However, sometimes he would come by himself on weekends, and Banggeng would bring a huge sum of more than ten yuan when he went out.

When Third Brother saw that he came alone, he bet on him a few times, which made Bang Geng more confident. Later, his bets became bigger and bigger, throwing one or two dollars on the table. He also became familiar with Third Brother and could often smoke a cigarette from him when he came.

By the time they counted the accounts, they found that Banggeng had won almost one month's salary. The third brother saw that the time was right and began to close the net. In just half a month, Banggeng not only lost the money he had won, but also lost more than a hundred of his own money. The more he lost, the bigger he bet. Zheng Jun was a little worried watching this.

Now Banggeng doesn't just go there a few times a week, he goes there every day. He has been a little obsessed lately and has no appetite. Jia Zhang also noticed that something was wrong with Banggeng. She asked him several times but got no answer. He seemed to be fine, so she didn't take it seriously.

Later on, he lost more than he won, and he was always thinking about making up for his losses, but he got deeper and deeper into trouble. He went alone several times, and only when he had all the money on hand was gone did Banggeng come to his senses. In the past few years of work, except for the first few months' salary, which was deducted by the factory to pay off debts, all the money that came after that was in his hands.

Banggeng looked at his small treasury, which had only more than ten yuan left. He gritted his teeth and took out all the money, thinking that if he lost it all, he would go begging and never go again. He didn't know if it was because of his luck, but he actually won more than twenty yuan that day. In this way, he was able to save enough money for Jia Zhang's living expenses.

Now I owe my third brother more than 200 yuan. I always think that if I win this time, I won’t go there. I lost all the more than 200 yuan I had and still owed others money.

Zheng Jun pretended to be a good man and tried to pull Banggeng back several times, but he couldn't pull him back. Finally, he was about to quarrel with his brother and said to his third brother: "I will not take care of his affairs in the future. Don't drag me into it when you ask for money."

The third brother saw that it was almost done and Banggeng had no money left, so he started to collect debts. The first few times were fine, and Banggeng fooled them. When he paid his wages, he would find that the debtor would be waiting for him at the factory gate. As a result, he had a quarrel with Jia Zhang when he got home, and this time he didn't even have the money for food.

Finally, they provoked Qin Huairu to come over and ask him about it. Under the pressure of the two, Banggeng finally confessed what he had been doing during this period. When Qin Huairu heard that Banggeng had lost four or five hundred yuan in the past two months, and that he had borrowed money from others, she was also shocked. One or two years' salary was gone just like that.

He pointed at Bang Geng and cursed loudly. Although they were inside the house, people in the Central Courtyard heard some of it. The specific reason might not be clear, but everyone knew that there was a quarrel at home.

Banggeng got angry after being scolded, so he retorted: "It's just a loss, what's the big deal, I can pay it back slowly when I get a job, do you have the money to pay it back for me?"

"It's easy for you to say that. Will they give you a year's work to pay you back? You took all your salary today. How much do you still owe them?"

Banggeng didn't know the seriousness of the matter. He only knew that he had borrowed more than 200 yuan from somewhere and was told that there was some interest. He didn't look into it carefully at the time because he was in a hurry to gamble.

He couldn't even say how much he still owed, so Qin Huairu pulled the stick and went to find the owner. At least he had to ask how much he still owed, otherwise this would be a bottomless hole in the future.

Bang Geng struggled to not let her go, saying, "I'll go ask tomorrow. Is there any need to ask now? Give grandma some money first as living expenses, otherwise she won't have anything to eat this month."

Qin Huairu said angrily, "Now that you know you have no food to eat, why didn't you think about it before you went out to play? Now that you know you have to eat, how can you live like this? Tell me yourself, will you go again in the future? If you still go, Mom doesn't want to care about you this time."

"No, no, I can't control myself this time. I'm determined not to go. Please help me pay the money back."

Qin Huairu raised his hand but was reluctant to hit him. His heart felt like blood was dripping. His annual salary was not even enough. Although he had entered the factory and signed up for the exam, he had not worked for a year or two. His hands were not used to it, so he failed the exam and was still getting the salary of a temporary worker.

He took out ten yuan from his pocket, handed it to Jia Zhang, sighed and walked out the door. Jia Zhang took the money and put it in her own pocket. Bang Geng came to grandma and said, "Grandma, give me two yuan. I have no money to buy cigarettes."

"You don't need that much. One dollar is enough. You should spend it sparingly. You don't have a salary now and you still have to wait for a month. Remember to find out tomorrow and ask your mother to pay you back."

"I understand. Give me the money now. I have no cigarettes left."

Jia Zhang fished out a handful of loose bills from her pocket, counted out a dollar and handed it over. Jia Zhang didn't have much money now, with only more than ten dollars a month for food, and it all depended on Qin Huairu to prepare something good for Bang Geng from time to time. Jia Zhang could eat a little bit too, and she could also save some money on vegetables.
