Chapter 52 51. The panic after the madness

Gambling is indeed very exciting. I have seen many ups and downs, great joys and sorrows at the gambling table that others may never see in a lifetime, and I have also seen many joys and sorrows that are more dramatic than the serials on TV.The miserable fate of a gambler is not just his or her misfortune alone. A person who is addicted to gambling often makes a family fall into a hellish life.The angry, regretful, pitiful, and sad expressions of those family members towards the gamblers will suddenly appear in my mind.Gamblers who win money will take the money as money because it comes too easily, and take it casually; those who lose money always want to make money, can't stop, and don't regret it until they lose completely.All gamblers who fall into madness are like this. Almost none of the good gamblers I have come into contact with have ended well.

There was a gambler named Zhang Jian who used to drive a black car for short-distance transportation.Black cars were just fashionable at that time, so he borrowed money to buy an Audi sedan for short-distance work, mainly to send people to the port near his home.There is a port two hours' drive away from the city where he lives, and passenger ships usually enter and leave the port in the morning.So he gets up early in the morning to work until 1:00 in the afternoon, and there is basically nothing to do after 1:00.After working for a long time, I saved a little money in my hand, and when I was free in the afternoon, I played mahjong with my friends and fought chickens worth 10 yuan.At the beginning, I won a small amount of money, and then gradually participated in bigger games, and gradually became addicted.At the beginning, after running the car, I was in a hurry to catch up with the game, and then occasionally I didn't go to the sports car in the morning, and went directly to the game.In the end, the car stopped running at all, and came every day to catch up with the game.He got deeper and deeper, and lost all his family fortune.However, he did not wake up, but pinned his hopes on the lottery.When there is a game, go to the game, and when there is no game, buy a lottery ticket, and buy a thousand or eight hundred at a time.People who play with him often joke and ask him if he has won the lottery.Sometimes at the gaming table, he never forgot to call the betting shop to help him play the number of lottery tickets, and then go to get them after the game is over.Soon he lost all his savings and owed a lot of foreign debts.His wife made a few troubles, mobilizing all relatives and friends to come forward to persuade him, but to no avail, his wife completely gave up and divorced him.After the divorce, he also stopped for a while, racing cars every day.But he summed up the sports car to make money too slowly, and earning three to five hundred a day didn't seem to solve any problems.So he pinned his hopes on the game of gambling again, hoping to earn back from the gambling.No one lent him money, so he sold the car, and with the money from selling the car, he gambled a lot for a few days, and made some scammers join forces to deal with him.In the end, don't even think about it, you lost.The house was awarded to his wife by the court during the divorce, and he rented a house outside.After losing no money, he sublet the house he rented to others and lived on the poor rent.He hasn't woken up yet, and pinned all his hopes on the lottery.One day, he spent tens of dollars to live in a small hotel, studied the lottery for a day, selected a lot of numbers, and spent the rest of the money on the various numbers he chose.That night, he waited in front of the TV for the lottery, but he didn't even see the last prize.I don't know what he thinks in his heart, but I understand how desolate he is.He was also desperate, so he took a lot of sleeping pills that night and died in that hotel.He was cheated out of all his money in gambling, and he still owed a lot of foreign debts when he died.He usually looks very shrewd, and when he gambles, he looks calm and relaxed. He can even read through the sequence of some of the cards collected and edited by some scammers, and some people have pointed him out. There are a lot of tricks in the game.But he continued to gamble until he was penniless, his wife and children were separated, and his debts were high, but he didn't realize that gambling was cheating.I don't know why, once a person is addicted to gambling, he can't listen to anything.Many netizens asked me: My relatives are gambling like this, how can I get them to quit?There's really no way, I think.Maybe when he loses so much that he has nothing more to lose, he will naturally quit.At least that's what I've seen.

The other gambler is called Guizi, and he is a very clever person just by his nickname.He is now a fugitive from his hometown, and his family is often harassed by a group of debtors.He used to live in the suburbs of a county seat, where he was the first person to get rich.He led some villagers out to do bricklaying work earlier, and they lived and ate at the construction site.Eating steamed buns every day and struggling under the scorching sun, I was very tired from work.When the villagers are free, they play with the meal tickets on the construction site, and have fun by winning or losing a few yuan at a time.In the next few years, he became a small contractor by relying on his own hard work, bought a car, and built a three-story small western-style building in his own village.Because he has a full range of technical skills and good craftsmanship, many people are willing to entrust him with work.He was a bit overwhelmed with too much work, so he asked his younger brother to help take care of it.Every New Year's Eve is the most leisure time in the Northeast countryside, because he is the wealthiest in the village, so there are many relatives and friends who come to pay New Year's greetings, and most of them come to congratulate him on his career success.In the rural areas of Northeast China, there are almost no other recreational activities during Chinese New Year, just gambling and playing Pai Gow is popular.At the beginning, he was encouraged by others to play a few times. Unfortunately, he didn't even know which dot was big and which dot was small in Pai Gow, so he lost more than 10,000 yuan.

He was an unconvinced person, and he called people to his house early the next day to continue playing.After a Spring Festival, I lost more than 50,000 yuan.That is to say, he used the 50,000 yuan as a tuition fee, and he learned how to play Pai Gow.After work, he went around looking for Pai Gow games to play when he had nothing to do, and he became obsessed with it after going back and forth. He often didn't go home and played outside all night.To make a fool of my family, I said that it was too busy outside, so I couldn't go back to live.This situation lasted for half a year, and the engineering team was disbanded.He was in a hurry to lose, so he sold his car at a discounted price, and it looked like it was sold for tens of thousands of yuan, and continued to gamble. Unfortunately, this little money was useless in the game.He was obsessed with ghosts and started borrowing usury.Even the loan sharks dared to lend him 70,000 yuan on the spot, with a daily interest of 500 yuan, and they didn't know how to calculate it.The money lasted only a few days before it was gone.So he found another loan shark to continue borrowing, borrowing 60,000 yuan, and repaying 70,000 yuan with interest a month.The result can be imagined, anyway, I borrowed from several usury companies, and borrowed more than 600,000 yuan one after another.People who are due to usury will naturally come to him to ask for money.What can he use to pay back the money?Those people beat him and forced him to pay back the money.He was probably beaten badly and was taken to the hospital.He was hospitalized in the hospital because he had no money, and was kicked out by the hospital again.He dared not go home and wandered outside all day.When he was not at home, there were a group of vicious people waiting for money every day at home.All the valuable things in the house were removed, and all the windows were smashed.

So he fled, leaving his parents, wife, and children to face those vicious debt collectors all day long.When he fled, the usury had reached more than 1 million.It is estimated that it will be difficult for him to come back in this life. His parents and wife have no financial resources, so they don't know what life will be like.He doesn't know the consequences of borrowing usury?I think he knew it, so why did he still borrow it even though he knew it wasn't paid?I guess, it may be that all hopes are pinned on the gamble, and I hope to make a comeback.Or... I don't know, but he definitely knows the consequences of not repaying the usury loan.Anyone who dares to lend usury is not a fun thing.Knowing that there will be such consequences and still borrowing it, I can only say that he was dazed and his heart was blinded by something.A few days ago, I heard a song called "Are you okay in a foreign country", and I suddenly thought of him. I wonder if he is okay?
