Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 391 Unreliable Father
From a distance, he could see the banners hanging high in the football betting shop, celebrating his winning three 10,000+ jackpots. Wu Dong was speechless for a while.

Of course, the three 10,000+ at this time is not a small sum no matter where it is placed.

I remember when I was a sophomore in high school, someone won a lottery worth 10,000+, and the whole betting shop looked beaming, and it was easy to understand the thoughts of the betting shop owner.

It's just to promote their own betting shop, hoping to attract more lottery players to buy lottery tickets.

At this moment, he was quite thankful for his caution.

If he bets all the more than 1 yuan in his hand, even if he can win several million, he will never have a peaceful life after he can.

No matter what you do in the future, it will be carefully observed and studied by parents and caring people under a magnifying glass.

Although he was not afraid, he didn't mean to ask for trouble.

Besides, in the county town of [-], betting [-] football lottery was already considered a big deal, and if the amount was even larger, it would be difficult to explain.

I can't explain it to the outside world. I dreamed that a certain team would start a shocking reversal mode, right?
The situation at home is such that anyone with a heart will not believe it.

In addition, he was unwilling to use money to test how low his father's bottom line was.

Today happened to be Saturday, and the school was on a monthly holiday, so Wu Dong had free time to come to receive the award.

Ignoring the owner of the football betting shop and the enthusiastic temptation of some caring people, after obtaining the tax certificate, the money I finally got was about 25 yuan.

The parents were so happy that they took a taxi back home, just like the two door gods.

"What are you going to do with your money?"

Back home, my father couldn't wait to ask, his eyes wandered and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Pay the [-] project fee first, and the rest will be settled after the college entrance examination, and the family's debts will be cleared, and that's about it!"

Never giving his father a chance to ask for money, Wu Dong made a straightforward decision and immediately invited the contractor who had heard the news.

Speaking of which, this contractor is still very 'kind-hearted'.

Deep in my memory, after the commercial housing for employees was built, my father owed him almost [-] yuan, and it took ten years before he began to pay it back slowly.

During this period, the contractor did not force them too much, and even let them live in the rough house that nominally belonged to their father after the family suffered a flood.

This can be regarded as a favor, so Wu Dong naturally couldn't ignore it directly.

After the contractor wrote the receipt and happily took the money and left, the father was quite dissatisfied and said, "Why are you joining in with the public affairs?"

"Then let the government settle the money owed to the contractor!"

Wu Dong rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "If you don't pay back the money, what will people think?"

After finishing speaking, he didn't continue to talk nonsense. After eating a hearty lunch, he took the money and followed his mother to the credit union where he worked.

After seeing my mother wipe out the embezzled funds and confirming that there were no other omissions, the winning money in hand was less than 11.

To be honest, the jobs of both parents are not bad.

In the 90s, it belongs to an enviable dual-career family.

It's a pity that my father doesn't have much sense of responsibility for the family. I heard from my mother that I haven't seen my father's salary since I got married, and all the expenses of the family are borne by my mother.

I have lost a lot of money in business, and I am a little vain. I have to buy one of the new gadgets that appear on the market, such as BP cameras and mobile phones. Coupled with other reasons, the family’s finances have been constantly falling. All quite nervous.

I don't know if it's because the economic pressure is too great, and I just want to get rich overnight.

The social atmosphere at that time was not very good. Since around 2000, an underground gambling game called "buy code" was introduced, and it quickly became popular in the entire county, regardless of whether it was urban or rural.

Both father and mother have become standard coders. The odds of [-] to [-] are too tempting. They must buy almost every issue in the hope of getting rich overnight.

This is also the main reason why he believes that parents are gamblers in disguise.

The mother still had some restraint, but the father was completely caught up.

Deep in my memory, until 17 years later, my father was still secretly buying codes, even at one point borrowing online loans to buy them, and the whole person went crazy.

Regardless of gossip, when he got home, he told his parents not to spread the word outside, and the football lottery winning thing had better be rotten in the stomach.

It's not that I'm worried about anything else, but I'm afraid that some bad people in society will come together, and my father may not be able to withstand their bad methods.

As for the rest of the money, he left [-] to his mother, and kept the rest in the bank.

The family has a lot of foreign debts, and after he passes the college entrance examination, he will come directly to pay back the money.

He really can't trust his father, but he has a criminal record before.

He actually withheld the money that was supposed to be paid back, either buying chips or playing cards and losing everything.

It wasn't until later that someone came to collect the debt that he realized that he had never paid back the money that was given to his father.

After this time, any repayment of the family's foreign debts basically did not go through my father's hands.

"Hey bro, have you bought the football lottery yet?"

When he was sleeping at night, Wu Dong picked up the landline at home and called his younger brother who was working in Guangdong Province.

That's right, when he bought the football lottery for the UEFA Champions League final, he specifically reminded his brother.

"I bought it, but it's a pity I only bought it for 20 yuan, and I won more than 1000 yuan!"

On the phone, the regretful voice of the younger brother came: "If I had known that I was making so much money, I would have bought more!"

Without waiting for him to reply, he said directly: "If you have such an opportunity in the future, you must not forget me!"

"rest assured!"

Wu Dong chuckled and said, "I need your help with running errands for some things here, so come back quickly!"

"what's up?"

The younger brother was puzzled: "I just quit my job here, and I'm planning to find another factory to enter!"

"Didn't I win the lottery and get a lot of money? My father is like that. I hope you will come back and help me take care of it!"

Wu Dong said in a deep voice: "Also, for some foreign debts at home, it's best for you to repay the money in person, so I can rest assured!"

"Okay, I'm going to buy a ticket to go home tomorrow!"

The younger brother didn't hesitate and agreed directly.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Dong felt a little complicated.

I shouldn't have guarded against my father like a thief, but some things my father did were really chilling.

Deep in my memory, my brother was also dragged down by his father.

I went out to work before graduating from junior high school, and almost all the salary I saved was used by my family to pay off my debts.

It was not until the age of 31 that with the help of Wu Dongyuan who made money through the Internet, he married a wife and had a child.

When my brother was talking about his girlfriend, he remembered something his father said very deeply: no matter whether the family has money or not, marry him first and then talk about it!

My mind was a little impure, but luckily the situation didn't develop to that point...
