Chapter 12 The Sky Is Falling
Liu Hua's eyes were full of doubts. Six hundred thousand was not a small number for their family.
He had no job and was idle all day. Although Liu Mei worked in the neighborhood committee, her monthly salary was only three thousand yuan.
Chen Hu was a loan shark. Liu Mei borrowed six hundred thousand in one go. Her salary was not even enough to pay the loan shark's interest every month.
Listening to Liu Hua's words, Liu Mei's face showed excitement.
"Ahua, our family is going to get rich. When we make money tomorrow, you can buy a house." Liu Mei was very excited.
What?
Liu Hua was shocked. He was surprised and didn't understand what Liu Mei meant by this.
Liu Mei smiled. She told her deal with Meng Ren, and then took out the lottery ticket she bought with pride.
"I bet one hundred thousand in one go. We can get ten million tomorrow. This is ten million." Liu Mei has begun to imagine how to spend the ten million tomorrow.
Liu Hua was overjoyed when he heard this: "There is such a good thing?"
"Hahaha, Meng Ren is so stupid that he actually told us such a thing."
"Mom, can you really get 10 million tomorrow?"
Liu Mei said proudly: "How can this be false? Don't worry, when we get 10 million tomorrow, we will go buy a new house."
"Okay, okay!"
Three good words in a row were enough to show how excited Liu Hua was.
Liu Hua's eyes turned, and a sinister smile appeared on his face: "Mom, I think this is a way to make money."
"Meng Ren must have done this in a shameful way. When we win the lottery tomorrow, we can use this to threaten him."
"If he doesn't want to expose the matter, then he must keep providing us with information. In this way, won't we get rich?"
Liu Mei's eyes lit up, and the mother and son looked at each other, and they saw excitement and excitement in each other's eyes.
Time quickly came to the next day. Early in the morning, Liu Mei and her son had already set out to the lottery center.
At this time, the lottery center was not open yet, and the two could only wait outside, watching the time pass by minute by minute. The days of waiting were really tormenting, especially at this time.
They were not the only ones waiting for the prize draw, there were also many other people, but compared with Liu Mei and her son, the expressions of the others seemed uneasy.
Liu Mei glanced at the people around her, and a sense of superiority rose in her heart, and her face was smug.
Time unknowingly came to twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and it was finally time to draw the prize.
"The prize draw, the prize draw!" Someone shouted excitedly.
Liu Mei jumped up from her chair in an instant, and rushed directly to the counter for redemption and claiming the prize without saying a word.
"I won 10 million, redeem the prize for me immediately!"
Wow!
When Liu Mei said this, the eyes of the people in the entire lottery center fell on her.
"No way, someone won the first prize so soon?" The people around were talking about it.
Some people were envious, and some were jealous.
Feeling the eyes of the people around them, both Liu Mei and Liu Hua were very proud in their hearts.
Hahaha!
Ten million!
The staff took the lottery ticket handed over by Liu Mei, she swiped the machine, and then let out a light exclamation.
"Sorry, ma'am, your lottery ticket didn't win the prize!"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Liu Mei's face froze instantly, and Liu Hua on the side was also shocked and angry.
"What nonsense are you talking about? My mother won 10 million with this lottery ticket. Are you trying to cheat us out of our money?"
"Don't just stand there, quickly exchange the prize money." Liu Hua yelled.
The staff showed a helpless expression and returned the lottery ticket.
"You two, you really didn't win the prize. If you don't believe it, you can compare the winning numbers yourself. It's a world of difference." The staff said.
"How is this possible!" Liu Hua was shocked and angry. He quickly picked up the lottery ticket and compared it with the winning numbers announced on the big screen.
This comparison showed that the staff was right. The string of numbers didn't match at all, and they were even completely different.
"Impossible!" Liu Hua exclaimed.
Liu Mei came over tremblingly: "Ahua, how is it? Did we win?"
"No... No, not a single number was correct!" Liu Hua's voice trembled.
Hearing this, Liu Mei's eyes went dark and she almost fainted on the spot.
"Ouch!"
Liu Mei screamed and her face turned pale instantly.
In the lottery hall, people around looked at Liu Mei and her son with strange eyes, and their expressions were teasing.
"Hahaha, it's so funny, I thought they really won the lottery, but it turned out to be a daydream!"
Someone suddenly laughed out loud, and the laughter of that person caused everyone in the lottery hall to burst into laughter instantly.
"How could we not win the lottery? Didn't we agree to win 10 million?" Liu Mei's face was full of disbelief.
Liu Hua still couldn't accept it. He rushed to the counter and asked: "How could we not win the lottery? Did you secretly choose the number?"
"We spent 500,000 to buy this number, saying that we would definitely win the prize."
This made the staff shake their heads: "Sir, we can't sell the winning numbers. You must have been cheated."
Cheated...
These three words seemed like a thunder, exploding directly in Liu Mei's mind.
She couldn't believe her ears, and felt dizzy.
Six hundred thousand, gone!
"Meng Ren..."
"Ah!"
Liu Mei was panting heavily, her eyes were about to burst, and her eyes were full of anger.
Suddenly, Liu Mei screamed and fell to the ground.
"Mom!"
Liu Hua was panicked and hurriedly helped Liu Mei up from the ground.
He finally realized what happened at this time, and the expression on his face was instantly hideous.
"Meng Ren, I won't let you go." Liu Hua gritted his teeth, his tone full of hatred.
At this moment, Meng Ren was waiting leisurely at home. He was lying on the sofa in the posture of Ge You, and the TV not far away was playing the lottery winning information of this issue.
"Liu Mei and her son should have gone to the lottery center!"
"Hahaha!"
Meng Ren laughed out loud. He could already imagine what kind of expression the mother and son would show when they found out that the winning number was fake.
600,000 is not a small number for them.
"Liu Mei, Liu Mei, don't get angry on the spot. The game has just begun. If you end it like this, I will be very disappointed!" Meng Ren smiled.
