Chapter 549: The Name of the Wallet

Yang Dongxu does not support the end-of-year gambling trend in rural areas, but he will not oppose it either. Because opposition is useless, drug trafficking is still in the law and clearly stipulates shooting, but in the end it is not completely banned. Gambling is something like this. At the end of the year, people in the same village, with relatives and friends coming over, will inevitably get together to play a few games. How can you prohibit it?

Therefore, such things can only be controlled and controlled within a reasonable range. Don't let the money you worked so hard to earn all year round end up being lost and the whole family can't live on. At the same time, the severe crackdown on those who make money by gambling and loan sharks is basically in place. If we want to go further and eliminate it, it is impossible to do so.

Although Yangjiacun has become richer in recent years, it has basically done well in this regard. Although there are many people who count money one night and quarrel with their wives the next day.

But completely losing everything and having no way of living, such as selling children and daughters, has never happened in Yangjiacun. It was the people from the same village who ruined the family, and I couldn't afford to lose that person.

So if you encounter someone who really has no money in his hand, just kick him out of the game and stay there. There's no such thing as borrowing money to gamble. If you don't rush to sit down at the table, the card players won't let you play anymore, and you won't be able to raise your head in the village.

It is precisely with this underlying concept that although the amount of cards played in the granary has been getting bigger and bigger in the past two years, the most I can do is go home and have a few quarrels. Then after the New Year, money will be tight for a while, but when the new year starts Once you start making money, everything goes away.

But it would be different if someone specially set up a gambling venue in the granary. Gambling was originally difficult to control, but now because Yangjiacun has a good concept, it is still within a reasonable range.

But if someone tries to seduce it, this concept will be subtly eliminated, and then playing cards, which was originally just an exciting end-of-year card game, is likely to turn into real gambling.

"No one is here to help?" Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment by Yang Dongxu's words, and then thought of something, "After the top three came back, they would make tea there and sell some snacks and tea money. No one dared to put it in our village. Make money. Anyone who does this would have their legs broken and kicked out."

"That's good." Yang Dongxu breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked casually: "When did the top three come back?"

After Da Laoliu was shot, the three strongmen went out to wander around for a few years, and then returned to the village less often than Yang Dongxu. They didn't necessarily see anyone once in several years, even during the Spring Festival at the end of the year. Their house collapsed two years ago, almost burying his wife alive. The villagers exchanged money to repair it, but no one else was found.

"I came back earlier than you, a month earlier. It is said that he slept with his boss's wife while he was out there. He was afraid of being hacked to death and ran back to the village to hide." The general was a little mysterious. He said with a slightly obscene smile, obviously sleeping with other people's wives is the key point, these young people are most interested in things like broken shoes.

"Shit, he slept with his boss's wife. Is there any woman among his bunch who is willing to sleep with him? It's impossible even if he's blind. I think he can't survive outside, or he owes too much money. It's true if you dare to go out." Daliang said with some disdain.

This guess is more reliable. The top three can't change their shit-eating character. If they can't survive outside, it would be strange if they can return to the village. Even if I come back, it won't be as silent as it is now. I can achieve a little bit outside, but now there will definitely be a fight between five and six people.

"Let's go and take a look at the granary." Yang Dongxu wrapped his coat around him and said.

With Yang Dongxu taking the lead, Xiaowu and the others were naturally not unwilling. After all, if he took the lead, he would not be beaten even if his father, uncle or the like saw him.

The windows on the granary side were blocked tightly with straw and nylon bags, so Yang Dongxu almost turned somersaults as soon as he entered the house.

However, card players obviously only pay attention to the cards in their hands, and no one cares about the air. However, although the air was dirty, the room was still warm.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a few tea bottles and a small stall on one side of the door. The stall sold some cigarettes, instant noodles and so on. There was a lot of change thrown in the paper box with money next to it, including dimes and fifty cents. The old lady Sanqiang looked at it happily while eating melon seeds.

"Hey, Xuzi is here, eat some melon seeds." No one noticed when a few people came in, but San Qiang's wife glanced over and saw that it was Yang Dongxu who quickly stood up to greet them.

"No, you don't have to come here after dinner, just take a look." Yang Dongxu smiled and waved his hand, "Where are the top three, aren't they here?"

Seeing Yang Dongxu mentioning the Sanqiang, Sanqiang's wife looked a little unnatural, but finally she said, "I'm watching someone refilling the water inside. Are you looking for something to do with him?"

Although it has been a long time, everyone knows that the top three must have had a hand in being cheated by Shengli back then. Therefore, the higher the prestige of the Yang family in the village, the harder it is for the top three to get along in the village, otherwise they would not have not come back for so many years.

"It's nothing, just asking casually." Yang Dongxu smiled.

He really has no intention of pursuing the matter back then, otherwise he would have pursued it long ago and wouldn't have waited until now. After saying hello, Yang Dongxu walked towards a table where Pai Gow was being pushed.

Sanqiang's wife was relieved when she saw that Yang Dongxu really seemed to be here to join in the fun, and didn't care about her son at all.

"Hey, Xuzi, come here, do you want to sit down and play a few rounds?"

"Xuzi, why didn't your uncle come?"

Seeing that many people greeted Yang Dongxu, Yang Dongxu also hurriedly took out cigarettes from his pocket and distributed them to the surroundings.

"Hey, it's Zhonghua, you have to taste this cigarette slowly."

Seeing that the cigarette Yang Dongxu offered was Zhonghua, many people put the cigarettes directly behind their ears and continued to smoke their own cheap cigarettes.

"You guys play yours, I won't join in the fun. They are all uncles and aunts, there is no place for me. My uncle drank a little too much today, and he probably went home to sleep." Yang Dongxu said with a smile while distributing cigarettes.

Raising the big gambler in Yangjia Village, uncle Shengli dared to admit second place, and no one dared to admit first place. However, the Yang family has become rich in recent years. Although Shengli lost a lot of money in gambling, he never blushed. In addition, many villagers now eat with him, so naturally no one regards him as a second-rate gambler.

This is just like what people say online in the future, rich people eat green vegetables to maintain health, poor people eat green vegetables to be really poor. Before, Shengli had no money to gamble, so he was called a fool. Now that he has money, he loses more than before, so he is just having fun.

"Really don't come up and try your luck? I have some luck here, how about coming to help uncle change his luck? If you lose, it's my loss." A man from another village who looked familiar but couldn't remember his name said half-jokingly.

"If you have bad luck, bet less first, don't lose too much, or you won't have enough meat to sell tomorrow, and your aunt won't let you go to bed when you go home." Yang Dongxu responded with a smile.

"She dares!" The man glared, and many people laughed.

While laughing and playing, Yang Dongxu watched a few hands from the side, and couldn't stand the air in the room and was ready to turn around and go home. As soon as he turned around, he saw the three strong men holding a tea bottle.

Sanqiang had obviously spotted Yang Dongxu a long time ago. He was holding a tea bottle and wanted to go around, but Yang Dongxu turned around and saw him. He had to try his best to force a smile on his face: "Xuzi, when did you come back?"

"I've been back for two days." Yang Dongxu reached out his hand and took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over.

"No, I have one here, I have one here." Sanqiang waved his hand quickly. Seeing that Yang Dongxu had no intention of taking it back, he quickly put down the tea bottle in his hand and took the cigarette with both hands.

"Is life okay?" Yang Dongxu asked casually.

"It's okay, it's okay. The main thing is that the old and young men in the village feel sorry for my family and give us a meal." Sanqiang had a smile on his face.

Selling tea and snacks at the granary really makes a lot of money. After all, no one who plays cards cares about those little things. People who win money every day will throw a dollar or two to the small stall to ask for a good start, hoping to continue to win next time.

So on average, he can make at least a few dozen dollars a day. But he didn't have much to do. His mother would watch the stall and boil water, and he would carry a tea bottle to add hot water for people. If anyone was hungry, he would help to deliver some food. At most, he would clean up in the morning when no one was around.

Anyone could do such a job, but the reason why Sanqiang was asked to do it was because the villagers saw that his family was too poor, so they gave him a meal. Let him make some money so that he could have a more relaxed time during the Chinese New Year. Or, it was because his mother was old and pitiful. Otherwise, why would anyone give this second-rate guy a job that anyone could do it for free?

"Then do it well, and don't bring those messy people to the village."

"That's for sure. I've been busy here since I came back, and I haven't even been to the market in the town." Sanqiang promised quickly.

Although Yang Dongxu didn't come back for many years, his voice in the village did not decrease but increased, even though he was only 20 years old and hadn't married yet.

The Yang family is now the most powerful family in the village. If the Yang family still holds a grudge against him for what happened in the past, he really can't stay in the village.

"That's fine. You go ahead. I'll go back first." Yang Dongxu nodded and said nothing.

"How about staying for a while and drinking some tea before leaving?"

"No, I'm tired. Go home and sleep." Yang Dongxu waved his hand, said hello to Xiaowu and a few others who were in the mood to play cards, and turned to leave the granary.

After leaving the granary, he didn't go home, but went to the pig farm outside the village. There were many people from other villages playing cards in the granary. Excluding those who really came to play, it is estimated that many came to sell meat tomorrow.

This does not count those who didn't come home today and waited to slaughter the pigs tomorrow. So he went to see if there was anything he needed help with at the pig farm.

Although the pigs would be slaughtered tomorrow morning, some preparations must be made the night before. Then they would get up in the middle of the night to tie up the selected pigs and start slaughtering them. Only when people came early the next day to buy meat would they have the processed pork for sale.
