Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 16 Winning the Prize
After the second brother asked someone to fix the wiring in the house, the eldest brother, the second brother and A Yao's family basically went back to their rooms to watch TV after dinner. A Zu had a show every night, and now only Kang Qirui accompanied the two elders to watch TV in the living room.

Zhu Wanling was on the afternoon shift that day. After get off work, she came to Kang's house and watched TV with her boyfriend. Wang Yulian smiled and said, "Wanling, come to our house every day in the future." Wang Yulian likes the lively family life the most. Zhu Wanling has been coming to watch TV with her these days. She doesn't know how happy she is. Now she doesn't mind that Zhu Wanling is older than the fifth child. Instead, she thinks that she is more sensible because she is older.

Kang Qirui winked at Zhu Wanling, indicating that his conciliatory policy was indeed effective. A few days ago, Kang Qirui saw that his parents were not happy watching TV, so he immediately asked Zhu Wanling to come home every day to watch TV with them, and the effect came.

Zhu Wanling smiled gently and said to Wang Yulian, "Aunt Kang, from now on, as long as I don't have to work the night shift, I will come over to accompany you and Uncle Kang." These words made the two elders smile.

Wang Yulian stood up and said, "I've cooked some sugar water. I'll serve it to you." Zhu Wanling also stood up quickly and said, "Aunt Kang, I'll go."

"No, no, you are a guest, how can I ask you to work?"

Kang Qirui rolled his eyes. These two kept fighting to let go. When would they get the sugar water? He had no choice but to stand up and say, "Mom, Sister Wanling, you all sit down. I'll go." After that, he ignored them and walked to the kitchen.

As soon as he walked into the dining room, he saw the boss sitting alone at the dining table. Kang Qirui asked in confusion: "Boss, why are you sitting here alone?"

Logically speaking, Big Boss Guang should be watching TV in his room now. Why is he sitting here alone like an idiot?

"It's nothing. Xianglan closed the door and wouldn't let me in." Da Lao Guang said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Kicked out by the sister-in-law?" Kang Qirui was stunned when he heard this. His sister-in-law was usually so kind, gentle and virtuous, why would she kick the boss out and not let him in?
"I was joking with her and she got mad?"

"Are you kidding me? How could a good-tempered sister-in-law get angry?"

"It's like this, I said I wanted to watch Guangdong TV, and Xianglan wanted to watch Southern Henan TV because the male host of Southern Henan TV is her idol. Then I said the female host of Guangdong TV is my dream lover, and then she got angry." Big Brother Guang said unhappily.

"Ha ha ha ha"

"A'Rui, what are you laughing at? It takes you so long to serve bowls of sugar water." Wang Yulian also walked in. Her youngest son had been serving sugar water for more than 10 minutes and had not come out yet. She was worried so she came in to check, and she heard Kang Qirui laughing.

"Madame, let me tell you." When Kang Qirui saw the old lady come in, he told Wang Yulian what Da Lao Guang had just said, which made her laugh.

"Silly boy, even if it's true, you can't say that." Wang Yulian touched Lao Guang's head and said.

"Oh, I'm going to tell grandpa and grandma."

While they were talking, Tianxiu's voice was heard immediately.

"Still making noise? Shut up." The second brother's voice also came over.

After a while, Tianxiu ran out with the remote control in his hand broken.

"What's wrong with Tianxiu?" Kang Ershou looked at Tianxiu and asked.

"Grandpa, Dad hit me and the remote control was broken." Tianxiu complained immediately.

"Why did you throw the remote control?" Kang Ershou asked.

"He won't let me watch Jingle Bell, and always wants me to watch those scary zombie movies." Tianxiu explained.

Kang Ershou got angry when he heard this. There were already four TVs at home, but they were still arguing. He decided to cancel the cable network the next day to see if these people would still argue.

After dinner the next day, everyone went back to their rooms to watch TV as usual. "Dad, why is there no signal on TV?" Everyone found that there was no signal on TV and came out to ask the reason.

"Oh, I cancelled the cable channel, so there is no signal." Dad put down the teapot and replied lightly.

"What? You cancelled it? That means we can't watch TV anymore." Everyone was also very surprised and complained about their dissatisfaction.

"What do you mean I can't let you watch TV? It's fine to use the old antenna again. It's just that there are fewer channels." My dad didn't care at all.

"Dad, why are you going backwards as you get older?" Sachiko was thinking about 930, so she started to blame him.

"That's right." Others were also dissatisfied with their father's behavior.

“What’s so good about these channels?”

"Ding ding ding." While they were talking, the phone rang.

"Hello, A Guan? What? The interview was broadcast? On the cable channel?" When the old man answered the phone, he immediately became excited and asked A Yao to switch to the city cable channel.

"Dad, you've cancelled the cable network, so where can I get it?" A Yao spread his hands helplessly.

"Then I'll ask Uncle Guan to help me record it first, or you can call the city cable TV station and ask them to give the signal immediately." Lao Dou wanted to watch his own interview, and first planned to ask Uncle Guan to help record it, but then he thought it would be better to watch it immediately, so he wanted to ask A Yao to help him get it out.

"Dad, let's catch some bugs." Kang Qirui laughed. Dad was really asking for trouble.

Dad's face turned dark.

"Dad, call Uncle Guan right away and record it so we can still see it." Kang Qirui reminded again.

Lao Dou immediately picked up the phone and called Uncle Guan to ask him to help record the program, and he would pick it up to watch tomorrow.

"Dad, I think cable internet is still necessary. There's no need to cancel it."

"Yeah, Dad, how can we watch it when there are only a few channels?"

"Do you think I want to? Look at you guys, you run back to your rooms as soon as you finish your meal. In the past, we were a family happily watching TV in the living room." Dad also wanted to watch other channels, but he didn't like the feeling of being alone after dinner.

"Dad, how about this? From now on, we promise not to go back to the room to watch TV before nine o'clock. How about we stay in the living room?" Kang Qirui said after thinking for a while.

The others were a little bit dissatisfied, so Kang Qirui said, "The Henan opera that the eldest sister-in-law wants to watch and the 930 that the third sister-in-law wants to watch are both after 9 o'clock. Tianxiu has to do his homework in his room. The second brother and the second sister-in-law's room can only turn on the TV after Tianxiu finishes his homework. You don't want Xiuzi to have bad grades, right?"

Everyone agreed with Kang Qirui's words.

"Really?" The old man looked at them and they nodded in unison.

"Okay, then A Yao, you go and set up the cable network tomorrow." The old man agreed and then gave instructions to A Yao.

"Okay, dad, leave it to me." A Yao was happy to do so.

He doesn't want to go back to the old days when there were only a few channels to watch, and he also wants to watch the football games.

"I won the prize!!" Tianxiu shouted happily when he came home from school the next day.

"Won a prize. What big prize did you win?" Kang Ershou put down the newspaper, glanced at Tianxiu who was shouting and asked.

"Just now when I passed by the computer city, they were having a dance machine lottery game. They chose my body shape, so I went on and started dancing, and I've been dancing ever since," Kang Tianxiu said happily.

"Really? Then what prize did you win?" Kang Ershou said with a smile.

"Look, I won a ballpoint pen." Tianxiu put down his schoolbag, took out a pen and said proudly.

"Oh, it turns out to be a ballpoint pen." Kang Ershou lost interest when he saw it was a ballpoint pen. Kang Qirui came back from work and saw Tianxiu and Laodou talking about winning a prize, so he asked, "Who won the prize?"

"Oh, Tianxiu was playing the dance machine in the computer city and won a ballpoint pen."

"Xiuzi, no wonder you are so sweaty. Go take a shower quickly, otherwise your parents will scold you when they come back." Kang Qirui looked at Kang Tianxiu who was sweating profusely, smelled the sweat in the air, and spoke.

"Okay, uncle, I'm going to take a shower." Tianxiu skipped and went to take a shower.

As soon as Tianxiu went in, Sachiko came back.

Seeing Sachiko, Kang Qirui greeted her politely, "Sister-in-law, why did you get off work so early today?"

"Xingzi, it's time to get off work." Old Dou Kang Ershou also spoke up.

"Dad, Xiao Rui, you are all here." The third sister-in-law Sachiko also greeted them. After greeting the two, Sachiko came to the altar in the living room, bowed, and murmured to herself: "Bless..."

Seeing Sachiko's strange look, the old man couldn't help but ask, "Third sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Did you offend someone?"

"No, today is the day for the lottery." Sachiko replied to Kang Qirui, snatched the newspaper from her father Kang Ershou, and took out a few lottery tickets from her bag.

"What kind of prize is this? There is a high probability that you won't win this kind of thing. If it were so easy to win, everyone would be rich." The old man said dissatisfiedly when he saw Sachiko snatch the newspaper without saying hello.

"Dad, please don't say such unlucky words." After taking the newspaper, Sachiko didn't read it yet, and she wasn't angry. She was still dreaming about how she would spend the money if she won.

"Okay, okay, I won't tell anyone. It would be best if you win 1970,000. Then I'll get a commission." Kang Ershou said with a smile after hearing this.

"That's right." Sachiko said happily, and then began to check them one by one. Her face, which was originally full of smiles, gradually turned darker.

"Ouch!" He threw the newspaper away.

"Dad, I told you, don't say unlucky things." Sachiko stood up and walked away angrily.

"If you can't poop, it's because the ground is hard. Why aren't those people who worship Buddha every day among them?" Dad said speechlessly after seeing Sachiko leave in anger. Then he took the newspaper and read it again.

Kang Qirui smiled speechlessly upon seeing this, and said, "Dad, people are like this, they always think it's someone else's fault."

Just as Kang Qirui finished speaking, Da Lao Guang and his sister-in-law Xianglan came back, and Xianglan was still crying.

"Xianglan, don't cry." Da Laoguang said to his sister-in-law comfortingly.

"What are you doing, sister-in-law?" Kang Ershou asked his sister-in-law Xianglan, who was crying.

"Dad, others bought two dollars and won the first prize, but I bought five hundred dollars and won nothing." Xianglan cried. Why is she so unlucky?

"Sister-in-law, those lotteries are all scams. The winners are all agents of the merchants, who are specifically trying to stimulate your consumption." Kang Qirui spoke out the truth. This is not bad luck, this is being cheated.

These methods were used by many people in the previous life. These bosses took advantage of people's greed and complacent mentality and set up their conspiracies.

Even people in later generations will still be deceived, let alone people in the millennium.

"Ah!! So that's how it is." Big Brother Guang said in surprise.

After hearing this, the eldest sister-in-law Xianglan cried even harder. Her monthly salary was only 900 yuan. She saw that others had won, so she bought it on impulse. That was half a month's salary for her, and it was gone just like that. Xianglan couldn't accept it for a while and cried back to her room.

Da Lao Guang quickly followed and said comfortingly: "Xianglan, please stop crying, okay?" Looking at the Da Lao Guang and his wife disappearing before his eyes, Kang Qirui smiled helplessly.

At this time, the second brother and his wife walked in with a dejected look on their faces. Kang Qirui looked concerned and asked, "What happened to the second brother and his wife?"

"This time I really won't pick up the money even if I have it." The second sister-in-law was very discouraged.

Kang Ershou didn't understand what was going on, so he asked the second brother, "A Zong, what's the matter?"

"You go ask her." The second brother said unhappily, waving his hand.

"We bought a welfare lottery ticket and won the first prize." The second sister-in-law's words did not match her tone.

Hearing this, Kang Qirui asked curiously, "You both won the first prize, so why are you two still so listless?" After all, you should be happy after winning the prize, why don't you look like this.

"The problem is that I can't find the lottery ticket." The second sister-in-law said tearfully. It's rare to win the lottery, but something like this happened. It's strange to be happy.

"You just do all the crying. I told you to be quiet. You have been so confused all your life, and now you still have the nerve to cry." The second brother got angry when he heard this. He immediately stood up and yelled at his second sister-in-law.

The second brother ignored his second sister-in-law who went back to her room, and walked around the living room, looking at this and that, and said with some complaints: "There must be something wrong with the Feng Shui of our house, otherwise how could the swan leg that was about to be in our mouth fly away."

Hearing this, Old Dou Kang Ershou was not happy. He rolled his eyes at him and said, "Why is it not good? Our family's Feng Shui is so good. We gave birth to five of you, the Bone Dragons, and Rui is going to study in Hong Kong. Isn't this good?"

"Dad, I worked hard to go to Hong Kong to study. What does Feng Shui have to do with it?" Kang Qirui firmly opposed feudal superstition.

"You little brat, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb." Dad Kang Ershou glared at Kang Qirui and said.

Wang Yulian came out of the dining room and said, "What kind of prize did you win?"

At this time, the voice of the fourth brother Kang Qizu sounded.

"Dad, you always look down on me. Let me tell you, I won the lottery today." A-Zu said as he walked in.

"Grandpa, you won a prize. What did you win?" asked the old maid Wang Yulian excitedly.

"Haha~ Fourth brother, you didn't win a consolation prize, did you?" Kang Qirui said with a smile.

"Well...anyway, I won. You don't know how lucky I was today. I won with the first draw." Although he was said to have won, A Zu still said it exaggeratedly.

"Everyone, come out quickly, A-Zu won the jackpot." The old lady didn't seem to notice anything unusual about A-Zu, and shouted happily.

All of a sudden, everyone who was in the room ran out.

"Uncle Four, what prize did you win?" Sachiko asked happily.

The others also looked at the prize in A-Zu's hand with anticipation.

"Well...it seems to be a consolation prize." Seeing this, A-Zu couldn't hide it anymore and said a little embarrassedly.

"I told you, Fourth Brother will win a consolation prize at most. But doesn't everyone who participate get Fourth Brother's consolation prize?" Kang Qirui said with a smile.

"It's just a consolation prize. Let's see what the prize is first and open it to have a look."

"Oh!! Oh!! Diapers???" The second sister-in-law didn't care and just opened it to see what the prize was. But after opening it, the whole family was confused, with a lot of question marks in their minds.
