"Don't be discouraged, you're a novice, you have to pay some tuition fees." A fellow poker player consoled him, but there was a sly look in his eyes. They didn't actually go all out, worried that winning too much would make Banggeng suspicious.

As time went by, Banggeng's retirement money flowed into the poker table little by little. His face became more and more solemn, but the cards in his hand never showed any signs of improvement.

"Five hundred dollars, all gone." Bang Geng watched the last bill in his hand being taken away, and felt unwilling. He looked up at the time, it was already eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening.

"How about we stop here today?" a fellow player suggested, but Banggeng shook his head.

"No, I have to win it back!" His voice was trembling, but his eyes were extremely firm.

The three poker players looked at each other and saw the hesitation in each other's eyes. They knew that if they continued, Banggeng might lose even more miserably. But looking at his determined eyes, they felt a little reluctant.

"We really can't play anymore." One of the poker players stood up and prepared to leave, but Banggeng suddenly stood up and blocked their way.

"You can't leave! I haven't won it back yet!" His voice was a little hoarse, and there was a crazy light in his eyes.

The three poker players looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not expected Banggeng to be so persistent. One of them sighed and said, "You will lose even more miserably if you continue like this."

"I'm not afraid!" Bangteng roared, "I have a way to win it back!"

He took a deep breath and then said slowly: "I'll use my next three months' salary as collateral to continue gambling!"

The three poker players were stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect Banggeng to be so crazy that he was willing to use his salary as collateral. But they also knew that if they agreed to Banggeng's request, the gambling game might not end.

"Are you sure?" asked one of the players.

"I'm sure!" Bang Geng answered decisively.

The three poker players looked at each other and finally nodded. They knew that this gambling game was unavoidable. So they asked Banggeng to write an IOU and then sat back at the poker table.

"Banggeng, come and play?" One of them looked up and saw Banggeng and invited him enthusiastically.

Bang Geng hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the money in their hands, he couldn't help but feel an impulse. He nodded and sat in the empty seat.

"Hey, brother Banggeng, you're lucky today!" one of them joked, but there was a sly look in his eyes.

黠。

Banggeng smiled and didn't care. He picked up a card and secretly thought about how to win money. However, he soon found that his luck didn't seem to be very good. One round, two rounds, three rounds... He lost more and more, and the money in his hand became less and less.

"One more time, I will definitely win back!" Banggeng said unwillingly, picking up another card. However, he still lost this time.

"Brother Banggeng, you have bad luck!" one of them laughed and put the money in his hand into his pocket.

Bang Geng was upset, but he didn't want to give up. He looked at his wallet and saw that there was not much money left. He gritted his teeth and decided to write a promissory note and mortgage his salary.

"Brother Banggeng, why are you doing this?" one person advised, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes.

Banggeng ignored him and continued playing. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. He forgot about being tired and time, and just wanted to win back his money. However, he got deeper and deeper into the trap, and his debts increased.

The card game finally ended when the sky was already bright. The three of them began to collect the banknotes and IOUs on the table, while Bang Geng sat aside with a pale face. He looked at the numbers on the IOUs and felt a surge of despair in his heart.

"Brother Banggeng, it's time to settle the accounts." A man handed the IOU to Banggeng and said.

Bang Geng took the IOU and looked at the number on it. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He couldn't believe his eyes. The total amount of these IOUs turned out to be a huge sum of money!

"`You...are you lying to me?" Bang Geng asked in a trembling voice.

"Laughing at you? Look at these IOUs for yourself. They all have your signature." One person sneered.

Bang Geng looked at the signatures on the IOUs and felt a surge of regret. He regretted why he participated in this card game, and regretted his impulsiveness and credulity. He knew that he had fallen into a desperate situation, and these debts would be a burden for his whole life.

"I...I..." Banggeng stammered, unable to speak. He felt as if his heart was being tightly squeezed by a big hand, and he couldn't breathe.

"Brother Banggeng, you should accept the loss!" One of them patted Banggeng on the shoulder and said, "We will not return the money."

Bang Geng nodded, knowing that this was the punishment he deserved. He stood up and staggered away from this place full of greed and desire. He knew that his life had changed completely and he would face a lifetime of debt and hardship.

However, he did not give up. He knew he had to face reality and find a way to solve his debts. He began to work hard and save money, hoping to pay off the debts as soon as possible. Although the road was difficult and tortuous, he believed that as long as he did not give up, he would get out of the predicament one day.

Banggeng used to be able to get some pension money from Jia Zhang to fill this hole, but now, that money has been lost and he is still in debt. The trio discovered Banggeng's debts and pounced on him like hungry wolves, forcing Banggeng to pay back the money.

"Bang Geng, when are you going to pay me back?" the leader of the trio asked viciously. Bang Geng looked at them helplessly, his voice trembling: "I...I really don't know."

"Don't know? Then ask your family!" the trio threatened.

Under tremendous pressure, Bang Geng could only promise to pay off the debt within a month. The trio forced him to rewrite the IOU and asked him to sign and seal it, and even put his bloody handprint as a guarantee.

Banggeng was released back to the courtyard in despair. He didn't know how to face this predicament, let alone how to repay this huge debt.

At the same time, He Wenyuan's life has undergone earth-shaking changes. She met Yang Ming, a "gold master" who was willing to provide her with financial support. With Yang Ming's help, He Wenyuan turned from Cinderella into a princess, and her life became colorful.

"Wenyuan, how about this dress?" Yang Ming asked, pointing to a high-end clothing store. He Wenyuan smiled and nodded: "It looks good, I like it very much."

Yang Ming bought the dress without saying anything. Although he only gave He Wenyuan 50 yuan pocket money every month, he almost never restricted her when it came to shopping.
