Chapter 14 The huge prize was washed away

Su Rong was scolded by her sister, and she was also very depressed and couldn't vent it.

Meng Hao was clearly just a laborer at their construction site, how could he suddenly become the God of Wealth?

Could there be something fishy going on?

Could it be that everyone else is blind and is just waiting for her, a person with a discerning eye, to expose the scam?

So she cheered herself up and walked into the shop opposite.

Zhao the Mason approached Meng Hao and asked, "How could you, a laborer, spend so much money on clothes? Did you rob a bank?"

"Do you have the guts to try and rob a bank?"

Meng Hao glanced at him and said, "By the way, I also wanted to ask about the lottery ticket I gave you yesterday? I was so unlucky that I gave you the first prize lottery ticket, and the lottery ticket I kept for myself only won the second prize..."

"second prize?"

Zhao Qijiang blurted out, "You mean, you spent so much money buying clothes for your sister today because... you won the lottery ticket you bought yesterday?"

"Yes! The lottery ticket I kept for myself only won the second prize, with a prize of just over 200,000 yuan! The one I gave to Brother Zhao actually won the first prize! The first prize is worth more than 8 million yuan..."

"More than eight million, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Su Rong screamed and rushed to Meng Hao.

"What nonsense am I talking about? Didn't you see the lottery results last night? It's over 8 million. Why was I so stupid to give you that lottery ticket? If I had kept it for myself, I would be a millionaire now!"

Meng Hao beat his chest and stamped his feet in frustration, but then he put on a smile towards Zhao the Mason .

"By the way, Brother Zhao, why didn't you go to claim the prize? How about you claim the prize and give me one million? After all, it's my lottery ticket that I gave to you!"

"More than eight million. This, this, this ... is impossible?"

Zhao the bricklayer murmured and couldn't help looking at his wife.

Su Rong took a long time to take a deep breath and asked, "You didn't lie to us, did you? How do you prove that you won more than 6 million yuan with that lottery ticket?"

"What proof do you need? Just take the lottery ticket to claim the prize! Oh, I still have half a lottery ticket here. Brother Zhao and I tore it up last night. Only the last number was torn off. If you don't believe me, you can check it online now!"

He took out the half lottery ticket that was torn last night.

Zhao Qijiang snatched it away, took out his cell phone and quickly checked last night's lottery results.

Indeed, all six numbers matched.

"The last number was torn off, but I remember the last number on the torn one was 3, so it was also a second prize! But the last number on the one that Brother Zhao grabbed was 5, which was the first prize. Do you remember it, Brother Zhao?"

"That's right, I said it at that time, the first six numbers are the same, except for the one in my hand, the seventh number is 5!" Zhao the Mason said to himself.

"So, Brother Zhao really won the first prize. Brother Zhao, go and claim the prize quickly. After claiming the prize, remember to give me one million..."

Meng Hao kept on nagging, but Zhao the Mason didn't care about him at all. He reached out and grabbed his wife.

"My wife really won the lottery, it's over 8 million! Where's my lottery ticket? Hurry up and find it so we can claim the prize!"

He was shaking with excitement.

His wife Su Rong, however, was completely confused .

"Honey, what's wrong with you? Where is my lottery ticket?"

Su Rong was confused and thought about it again and again , and suddenly she burst into tears.

"I remember... you seemed to have put it in your trouser pocket! But... I washed your trousers and your shirt as soon as I got home yesterday. I don't know... whether I can still redeem the lottery ticket!"

"What did you say?"

Zhao the Mason suddenly screamed, "You said you washed the lottery ticket? Why didn't you take it out before washing the clothes?"

"I was careless for a moment. We didn't buy the ticket with our own money. How could we have thought that a poor guy like him could win the lottery?"

"You loser , I'm going to slap you to death!"

Zhao the Mason raised his hand, but he was always a softie in front of his wife, so he retracted his hand in hatred, "You can cry to death, but you have to give me the lottery ticket back!"

He immediately ran out of the women's clothing store, and Su Rong followed him crying .

Meng Hao felt extremely happy.

the lottery ticket he gave to Zhao Qijiang had been washed away , so even if they found it and took it to the Sports Lottery Center, they would not be able to claim the prize.

On the contrary, the huge psychological gap will inevitably lead to endless quarrels between the couple and make it difficult for them to have peace.

But that was all his and his wife's own fault. Who allowed them to bully him, Meng Hao, so unscrupulously in the past?

A man who does not seek revenge is not a gentleman. Meng Hao would never do such foolish things as repaying evil with kindness.

People in the women's clothing store couldn't help but talk about it. They all said that Zhao Qijiang and his wife were very unlucky. They had won a jackpot of more than 8 million yuan, but their winning ticket was washed. If they had known this, they would rather not have won the prize.

Meng Hao ignored these people and helped Meng Xin carry the clothes she had just bought. He went to the supermarket downstairs to pick up the backpack that had been stored there, and then went out to take a bus to Nanjiang City.

Nanjiang City is the capital of Nanzhou Province, and Hongshan City is under the jurisdiction of Nanjiang City.

So it only takes one hour to get to Nanjiang from Hongshan by bus.

Meng Xin was studying in the Chinese Department of Nanjiang University. The house that Xiang Sisi helped her rent was in a community next to Nanjiang University.

It was still early, so Meng Xin went to school first, while Meng Hao went to a nearby antique street.

At this moment, Xiang Sisi called.

"Meng Hao, what's wrong with you? My mother said that Wang Jin owed a loan shark 6 million, and you took over 3 million. Is that true?"

"well!"

Meng Hao could not help but sigh, "Didn't your mother explain the whole story to you? Before, Wang Jin borrowed your mother's ID card, and he used your mother and your aunt's ID cards as collateral to borrow money from the loan shark. Now Wang Jin's entire company has collapsed, and he ca n't pay back the money. Naturally, the loan shark is going to ask your mother and your aunt for the debt! I happened to catch up and saw the loan sharks trying to drag your mother and your aunt away. Do you think I can just ignore it?"

"Even if you want to intervene, you should explain clearly to the loan shark that it is the money owed by Wang Jin and has nothing to do with our family!"

"Do you think loan sharks can reason with us? Are there any reasonable loan sharks in this world?"

"But my mother said that you beat them all by yourself... But this sounds a bit mysterious, I don't believe it at all! I guess my mother hates you for taking the three million, so she made up so many lies!" Xiang Sisi said.

Meng Hao knew this would be the outcome.

Because Chen Youlian had thrown dirty water on him and made up lies so many times in the past two years, even Xiang Sisi had gotten used to it.

"So, if I don't take up the three million, they will take your mother and your aunt away! Although your mother and your aunt are already in their forties and fifties, they are well maintained. If they are really taken away by loan sharks and locked up for a day or two, their reputation will be tarnished!"

Xiang Sisi probably thought that what Meng Hao said made sense, so she was quiet for a while before asking, "So what are you going to do? Three million, and you promised to pay it back tomorrow. Not to mention me, even if I risked making the old man angry, it would be difficult to get the money together in such a short time!"

"Don't worry, I'm sure!"

Meng Hao chuckled, "There's something I didn't tell you. A few days ago... before I fell from the building, I bought a lottery ticket. When I was discharged from the hospital this time, I checked the winning numbers and I didn't expect to win the first prize..."

"impossible?"

Xiang Sisi, who was always calm and composed, couldn't help but interrupt Meng Hao, "You ... you ...are you really that lucky?"

"I'm serious! Otherwise, even if I had the guts, I wouldn't dare to take on three million!" Meng Hao replied.

Xiang Sisi was quiet for a while before she let out a long sigh.

"My mother... treated you like this, yet you are willing to spend three million to save her. I really... don't know what to say!"

"Then don't say it. I've always remembered how good you have been to me in the past two years!"

"Don't say that I'm good to you and I'm not good to you. And...you have to remember one thing, we can only maintain this kind of relationship now!"

"I understand. I won't have any delusions about you just because of these three million!"

"It's good that you understand. Anyway, I will slowly save up the money to pay you back for the three million. I won't let you win the jackpot with great difficulty only to lose it all!"

"Okay, whatever you want!" Meng Hao answered seriously.

Xiang Sisi was quiet for a moment, then suddenly said, "My mom said you... broke a tree with one slap, and she also said you must have done something to put on a show for her. What's going on?"

"This...I don't know how to explain it!"

"Then don't explain! My mom keeps talking nonsense, and I don't bother to pay attention! You are unfamiliar with Nanjiang, so when you go to claim the prize... be careful!"

Xiang Sisi hung up the phone.

However, her last words, "Be careful," already made Meng Hao feel warm and comfortable.
