Mark Knight quickly finished the honey water Wendy gave him, and then told them:
"The young man joined the card game and Mahjong at the shop! I played with Jeffrey Parker and the others, then the young man joined, saying that betting one yuan wasn't enough, and he wanted to bet more..."
At this point, Mark Knight showed a mocking expression:
"He really thinks we're fools! He even invited us to drink beer and eat barbecue—I saw right through him. Those guys have bad intentions!"
"You didn't bet big, did you?" Nancy Knight asked anxiously.
"Of course not. Dad always said not to gamble at home. One yuan betting is just for fun, not for big stakes." Mark replied, "I know how many families in our village have been ruined by that."
In the village, indeed, there were several young people who had made money by contracting land and raising cattle and sheep, but then they were trapped by others, and as they started to gamble in their leisure time during the winter, they lost everything.
