Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 254: Prodigal Noble Yuan
"In, in, in, ah!"

As the home team player kicked the ball away in the last minute of the extra time on the live TV, the referee finally blew the whistle to end the game. The sports lottery bought by Azu and Guiyuan also failed, with no wins. "Hey, hey, hey, we bought more than ten games, and we really didn't win any of them?" the second sister-in-law asked unwillingly.

Guiyuan and Azu shook their heads, feeling very depressed. But Laodou seemed to be getting braver and braver. He encouraged everyone, saying, "This is what happens when you buy lottery tickets for the first time. What if you win every time? Wouldn't the betting station lose money? How can we have money for charity?"

"I told you not to buy if you don't understand. Now you're fine, right? You lost, right?" They watched the game and claimed the prizes with such fanfare that it was hard for Kang Qirui not to know that they had bought lottery tickets. He said to everyone with a speechless face, "It's fine if you bought them, but you all bought those ridiculous scores. Yes, it's so easy to get odds of dozens of times. Do you think the betting station is an ATM and you can withdraw as much as you want?"

Gui Yuan was not angry after being ridiculed. He sat next to Kang Qirui with a playful smile and said, "Brother Rui, I heard from my sister that you won a lot of money by buying sports lottery. Didn't you say that we don't understand? Then can you teach us? It will also help us not to lose so much money."

Gui Yuan's words attracted everyone's attention to Kang Qirui. Kang Qirui thought briefly, sighed and said, "Although lottery is a public welfare project, it cannot be considered gambling. But when lottery players alienate it into a tool for 'getting rich overnight', they turn from lottery players into gamblers. Just like you, you pursue extreme odds and try to win 20 million with 300 yuan. You lack rational decision-making ability, have the fantasy of getting rich overnight, and find it difficult to resist the temptation of lottery."

"Okay, okay, Brother Rui, we want you to teach us the secrets. We don't want your students to listen to your long-winded lecture." Gui Yuan became more and more annoyed as he listened, and finally couldn't help but interrupt Kang Qirui.

After being interrupted, Kang Qirui smiled and pointed at Gui Yuan and said to everyone: "Look, this is a typical gambler's mentality. Impatience, greed, wanting to get something for nothing, and overconfidence." Then he turned to Gui Yuan and continued: "If I'm not wrong, you only have one idea in your mind right now, which is to make a comeback."

Gui Yuan was speechless. He really wanted to make a quick comeback, otherwise he wouldn't have pestered Kang Qirui to teach him the secret. Seeing that Gui Yuan agreed, Kang Qirui continued to preach: "As the saying goes, nine out of ten gambling will lead to losses, so you must get rid of the mentality of winning the lottery or getting rich overnight. Don't treat it as a gamble, just treat it as a charity. Just treat it with a normal mind."

"So, if you really want to buy, I recommend you buy the Super Lotto or the Any 9. The first prize is five million. If no one wins for several rounds, the accumulated prize can be tens of millions. Just buy one ticket at a time, two dollars. If you don't win, just take it easy. If you win."

"What if I won?" asked the second sister-in-law stupidly.

"If you win, prepare your ID card and bank card to claim the prize." Er Lao patted the back of Er Shao's head and said speechlessly. Er Shao also laughed at her stupidity and rarely refuted Er Lao.

Kang Qirui wants to guide everyone to look at lottery correctly. Don't think that just because someone won the first prize, you can get rich overnight. Buying lottery tickets is legal, but it can't control your desire. Some people can't help buying lottery tickets, and they lose more and more. Finally, the dream of winning the lottery turns into a nightmare.

In the past, Kang Qirui always refused to let people buy lottery tickets. But after everyone secretly bought lottery tickets without telling him today, he also realized a truth, that is, this thing is like Dayu's flood control, it is better to dredge than to block. When dealing with problems, we should follow the nature and laws of things, solve problems through guidance and dredging, and avoid the rebound and more serious problems that may be caused by direct blocking.

Buying one ticket each time not only satisfies everyone's desire to buy lottery tickets, but also prevents everyone from getting addicted to buying lottery tickets. Therefore, Kang Qirui looked at his father and said, "Father, what do you think? If you buy tickets every time like you did today, I'm afraid it won't be long before our whole family has to live on nothing."

The old man nodded. He had listened carefully to what Kang Qirui said just now and agreed with the logic in it, so he announced directly: "Then do as Arui said. From now on, anyone who wants to buy lottery tickets can only buy one. If I find out that anyone does not follow this rule and buys too many, he will be punished according to the family rules. Do you understand?" Everyone in the Kang family nodded to show that they understood, but Gui Yuan hesitated inwardly and said: I am not from the Kang family, what does the Kang family rules have to do with me.

Therefore, in the next few days, everyone in the Kang family calmed down and stopped talking about buying lottery tickets. Even though A Zu was still buying, he only bought one ticket at a time. The warning from his father and the supervision from Diana made A Zu no longer want to raise money to buy lottery tickets. However, Gui Yuan was still buying tickets secretly by himself, and soon spent all the money he brought from his hometown, but he did not stop.

"Brother, come here for a moment." That night, after Er Lao came home, he pulled Er Shao to one side and said a few words to her. Er Shao called Gui Yuan to the courtyard garden with an angry look on her face, stared into Gui Yuan's eyes and asked, "Tell me, did you take the money from the tea restaurant?"

"No." Gui Yuan denied it immediately and tried to sow discord: "Did my brother-in-law say something? Does he want to kick me out? If he didn't want me to work in the tea restaurant, he should just say so directly. Why are you accusing me?"

No one knows a brother better than his sister. Second sister-in-law has watched Guiyuan grow up, and she can tell whether Guiyuan is lying or not. If she was a little bit unconvinced when Second Brother told her just now, now she completely believes it. She twisted Guiyuan's ear and said angrily: "You want to continue to lie to me, right? You won't say it, right? Do you believe me or not, I will call the police and let them investigate?"

"Sister, sister..." Gui Yuan knew that he could no longer hide the truth, so he begged for mercy: "It's just a few hundred dollars, just think of it as lending it to me. Do you need to fight and kill me?"

"If you don't have money, you can ask me for money or borrow it, but you can't take money from the company, understand?" The second sister-in-law said unhappily. She calmed down for a while and asked again, "Tell me, what did you do with the money?"

"There is no lottery ticket." Gui Yuan said, "Don't be angry. As the saying goes, a dragon will marry a phoenix one day, and you won't wear pants all your life."

The second sister-in-law slapped him directly, "You bought so many tickets, but have you ever won? No, then what's the difference between these lottery tickets and waste paper? It's fine if you use your own money to buy them, but you use public funds to buy them. Believe it or not, I will beat you to death like I slapped Jiang."

"At most, I'll leave these lottery tickets I bought today with you, but you must keep them safe. You can win the prize in any minute. The first prize today is 20 million." Gui Yuan took out a stack of lottery tickets bought with public funds today and handed them to his second sister-in-law with a painful look on his face, as if he could pretend that this incident had never happened by doing this.

The second sister-in-law was so angry that she laughed. She put her hands on her hips and cursed, "Hit, hit, hit, a stroke? You're lucky. No wonder Fa Da said all day that the money you bought from the lottery could build a house. If you were going to win, you would have won long ago. Why wait until now? I tell you, the money this time will be deducted from your salary, and if it happens again, you'll get the hell back to the countryside. Do you hear me?"

"Oh." Gui Yuan responded dejectedly.
