"Xiao Jiang?"
"Grandpa He?"
Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes, displeased with the way Old Man He addressed him.
You must understand.
In the Sunset Red Retirement Home, he and Old Man He were equals.
He was Grandpa Jiang.
Old Man He was Grandpa He.
Now that this old fellow had suddenly won the lottery, was he trying to take advantage of him?!
"Oh, Xiao Jiang!"
"Let's not worry about titles, what matters isn't what I call you, but whether you know what you've missed out on!"
Old Man He waved his lottery ticket in the crowd.
Although he was rich, 100,000 yuan wasn't a huge sum for him.
But this amount.
Was definitely the largest amount he had ever won in his lottery-buying history!
The old man was truly happy!
As the old man gesticulated wildly, a faint voice came from nearby.
"100,000 yuan is enough to require taxes."
"Old man, you mustn't evade taxes!"
Old Man He turned his head.
Staring at Jiang Yuan in disbelief.
Good kid!
You're really something!
I'm so old, and I finally win the lottery, but before I can even be happy.
You're already "blabbing" about it.
I've lived for so many years, would I evade taxes?
Do I need you to remind me?
The camera of the follow-up photographer clearly recorded Old Man He's petrified expression.
Live broadcast comments:
「Have you noticed that Jiang Yuan is overly sensitive about paying taxes?」
「Last time he won a million, the first thing he did was pay taxes. Before the money even arrived, he paid the tax first!」
「When he received the reward money from the police, Jiang Yuan seemed to say that reward money was tax-free.」
「Wait… is this dog so sensitive because he suffered a loss in this area before?」
「Not necessarily, how old is this dog? He couldn't have suffered a loss from tax evasion before he even graduated from college!」
「But what this guy said is right, paying taxes actively is what we should do.」
「…」
Seeing that Old Man He had won the grand prize.
The crowd dispersed.
Everyone had a sense of the odds of winning scratch-offs.
Old Man He's book of tickets had one worth 100,000.
There probably wouldn't be any more big prizes after that.
The crowd dispersed.
Old Man He himself knew what was going on.
He scratched off the remaining tickets.
Unexpectedly.
He also won two thousand yuan.
When the lottery shop owner helped Old Man He redeem the two thousand yuan.
He couldn't help but think to himself.
If he hadn't sold this book of tickets to Old Man He, and had scratched them himself.
Wouldn't he be the one who won the 100,000, instead of Old Man He?
Such thoughts appeared in the lottery shop owner's mind for a moment.
The owner shook his head.
Forcing himself to banish this thought from his mind.
Just kidding.
The last time that young man named Jiang Yuan won a million here, he had had such thoughts.
The day after that kid left.
He was alone in this small lottery shop, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Then…
The lottery shop owner blinked, silently recalling.
Then…
What did he do?
Oh!
He found two books of the same lottery tickets as Jiang Yuan.
Scratched them.
Lost more than a thousand…
Recalling this.
The lottery shop owner calmed down.
It was just that Jiang Yuan and this old man had good luck.
Someone else might not be able to win so much.
For example.
Old Man He's granddaughter.
Only two books of lottery tickets were left.
But what was the use?
More than 30,000 tickets.
The prize money barely exceeded 10,000.
A huge loss!
The amount of prize money won by Jiang Yuan and Old Man He.
Could be said to be a matter of luck.
With bad luck.
Like He Miao, she would only lose money.
Thinking of this, the lottery shop owner's mood completely calmed down.
Although he had missed out on a huge sum of money.
At least he didn't lose money!
He Miao, who was still scratching lottery tickets, suddenly felt a strange gaze on her.
She looked up.
And saw the lottery shop owner grinning at her.
He Miao was speechless.
Silently lowered her head and continued to scratch the lottery tickets.
Her movements were obviously much faster than before.
"Boss, give me a book of lottery tickets."
"Boss, I want a book too."
"Boss…"
The previous group of people in the lottery shop had retreated.
But more onlookers poured in.
Each of them waved the tickets in their hands, shouting for the lottery shop owner to give them new lottery tickets.
Seeing so many customers, the lottery shop owner was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
The enthusiastic Old Man He stuffed his winning 100,000 yuan lottery ticket into Jiang Yuan's hand.
Then he ran to the counter to help the lottery shop owner.
Jiang Yuan lowered his head, looking at the lottery ticket that had been suddenly stuffed into his hand, and was stunned for a moment.
After that.
He showed a helpless wry smile.
Good fellow…
What was he supposed to say?
Was it that Old Man He still trusted his character?
In the blink of an eye, more than an hour had passed.
The scratch-offs in the lottery shop were sold out.
He Miao, who had lost almost 20,000 yuan on more than 30,000 lottery tickets, was like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Sitting there with her head drooping.
Completely unable to cheer up.
Live broadcast comments:
「Help! Isn't He Miao acting out my mental state?!」
「You're not as miserable as He Miao, who lost 20,000 yuan in more than an hour because of a superstitious belief.」
「Yeah, what's wrong with doing something else with so much money? It's all lost in this broken place!」
「Counting the 100,000 that her grandfather won, isn't it still a profit?」
「Actually, they're not losing out. If He Miao hadn't insisted on coming to this place, Old Man He wouldn't have won so much money.」
「Speaking of which, I feel like this show isn't worth watching today since Jiang Yuan didn't buy a lottery ticket.」
「That's right, it's all that dog director's fault, he's too stingy, he didn't even buy a few lottery tickets for our Brother Jiang.」
「It's too late to buy now, there are no scratch-offs in the lottery shop at all.」
「…」
Old Man He, who was holding his 100,000 yuan winning scratch-off and preparing to redeem it, walked to the door of the shop and suddenly remembered something.
He turned his head and looked at Jiang Yuan: "Xiao Jiang, you haven't bought anything today, why don't you buy a Double Chromosphere or something?"
There were no more scratch-offs in the shop.
Jiang Yuan sneered, pointed to the live broadcast camera.
And then pointed to the lottery shop owner looking at him: "If I really bought a Double Chromosphere or Super Lotto, before I even walked out of this shop, this boss, and those in the live broadcast room, might buy the same numbers as me."
"If tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of tickets have the same numbers, do you think there's still a chance of winning?"
The lottery shop owner, who was pointed at by Jiang Yuan, lowered his head in embarrassment.
Suddenly, he saw that there was still a scratch-off that had slipped through the net on the ground.
The lottery shop owner rushed out of the counter and slapped the scratch-off into Jiang Yuan's hand: "Xiao Jiang, you brought me such a big wave of sales today, this ticket is a gift from your brother."
