Teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him to fish.
It is better to persuade people to stop gambling than to make them hate gambling. After all thoughts are lost, break and then build.
It sounds a bit radical, but that's what Wang Tao thought and did.
It's raining.
The summer rain came fiercely, and the raindrops fell like free chocolate beans.
A curtain of rain formed outside the coffee shop, and passers-by screamed and ran away to avoid the sudden heavy rain.
When the siren sounded again, the heavy rain had already poured down indiscriminately, and the entire gorgeous Yunhai City lacked the catharsis of the past. It was all shrouded in a white curtain of water.
Watching the police car drive out of the alley through the rain curtain, Qiao Mei Mei couldn't help but stand up. Her eyes looked anxiously at the police car convoy dimly in the water curtain.
"It's okay." Wang Tao comforted: "Your mother will be fine. The most she can do is get a good beating."
A beating and you still call it okay?
Looking at Qiao Rose's worried face, Wang Tao said: "If Sabre-Tooth Tiger dared to kill your mother, he would have killed her just now. To put it bluntly, he is just a second-rate gangster. Judging from the scale and layout of his underground casino, you can tell
You can see it. The big casinos where rich people play are all located in high-end nightclubs. They have backstages. They are not afraid of police raids at all. This kind of small casino is just childish."
"I hope she's okay." Qiao Meigui watched the police car convoy go away, let out a sigh of relief, and slowly sat back on the chair.
"If you are worried about your mother, I can make a call." Wang Tao said.
"-------------"
Qiao Meigui didn't speak, nodded, or shook her head. She just held the coffee cup tightly and absorbed the warmth from the cup. Her current mood was like leaves in a storm. Swaying and helpless.
Wang Tao took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. The call was quickly connected, and a woman's voice came, clear and powerful, "Is something wrong?"
"I want to ask, have you ever taken away a middle-aged aunt from the casino owner's room?"
"It turns out you were the one who called the police. I knew no one would be so kind as to report a gathering of people engaged in gambling, which made us conduct a surprise inspection in the rain. We were all soaked like drowned rats." The woman's voice was indignant.
Wang Tao said: "I'm sorry, I really didn't know it would rain today, and you also know that I am not a weather forecaster. Did you find a middle-aged aunt in the saber-toothed tiger's room?"
"-----I can tell you, but there are conditions." The woman said.
Wang Tao found it a bit puzzling. When did Scarlett Hao become smart and learn to negotiate terms with others?
"I can promise you anything except giving me my life."
Scarlett Hao's disdainful snort came from the receiver. "Promise me with your body? If you want to be beautiful, you are afraid that the woman around you will not agree. If I am not wrong, there must be a beautiful woman by your side at this moment?"
Wang Tao curled up his lips, this busty woman not only became smarter, but also learned to be jealous.
"If Officer Hao doesn't mind, I'll treat you to coffee another day." Now he was asking for help from Scarlett Hao, so Wang Tao said what he wanted to say later: "Drinking coffee is good for refreshing one's mind. It also moisturizes the liver, which is connected with the breast glands."
, so the words "drinking coffee can enlarge breasts" are omitted.
"There is no need to drink coffee. I have long passed the ignorant stage of youth. Let's get down to business. Can you go see a doctor for a friend of mine tomorrow?"
Wang Tao scratched his head and said: "Sorry, I really don't have time tomorrow. You also know that Yunhai will hold a medical fighting conference tomorrow. I really can't get out of it."
"Just you----" Scarlett Hao said: "Isn't your Xinglin Clinic closed down? You should not be qualified to participate in the medical fighting conference."
Wang Tao said: "If I am not qualified, then no one is qualified."
"That's not a bad tone. Forget it, let's talk about it in a few days. There's no rush for my friend's illness. It's more important for you to attend to your medical conference first. By the way, you just asked if there was a middle-aged aunt, right?
We did find a middle-aged aunt in the underground casino owner's office. She is behind me now, but she is in a very depressed mood. There are injuries on her body and face. Why are you asking about her?" Scarlett Hao asked.
"It's nothing. She just needs to be safe. I hope you won't make it difficult for her. I think after today, she won't gamble anymore. Okay, I'm done with Officer Hao. I'll buy you some coffee when you have time."
"Inexplicable." Qiao Meigui hung up the phone without knowing why.
Smiling at Qiao Rose, Wang Tao said: "That's it, your mother is safe. She is now returning to the police station with the police uncles."
"Am I being cruel?" Qiao Meigui asked.
"Are you saying you didn't take your mother out of the casino? It's true, but it's all over. You are a good daughter, but she is not a good mother."
Qiao Rose took a sip of coffee with an elegant expression, and the coffee stains left a soft outline on her sexy and red lips. "Actually, my mother is a very kind woman."
"A kind woman would take her daughter as a bet?"
Looking at Wang Tao's black and white eyes, Qiao Meigui did not explain, but continued: "I am a Scorpio, my father died when I was nine years old, and my grandfather died when I was ten years old. People say I have a tough life.
Like a poisonous scorpion, it killed my father and my grandfather. In our family, only my mother and I were left to depend on each other."
"My mother loves me very much. She has to wash clothes for others every day after get off work at the factory. She has washed almost everyone's clothes in our compound. She pays 20 cents for a piece of clothing. The salary income supports our family's livelihood. Washing clothes All the money I earned paid for my tuition."
"Those who have never been poor will never know what it is like to live in poverty. I remember one day, our family had no money left, and there was only one steamed bun and a piece of pickled vegetables left in the house. My mother pushed the steamed buns and pickled vegetables to me
She said she had already eaten it in the factory - that night, in the middle of the night, I suddenly heard my mother put on her clothes, opened the door and walked out."
"I was curious, so I followed her out." Qiao Meigui's pretty eyes were filled with tears, and she raised her head slightly to prevent tears from falling.
"I will never forget that night. It was that night when I saw my mother picking out the hairy, moldy steamed buns discarded by others from the garbage pool and eating them-------"
The crystal tears rolled down from Qiao Rose's eyes like broken beads, leaving two tear marks on her smooth jade cheeks.
Wang Tao didn't move, didn't reach out to wipe the tears of the woman with the story in front of him.
It is not a sin for a woman to cry.
Women should sometimes cry aloud to relieve stress and moisturize their cheeks.
"In the darkness, I covered my mouth to prevent myself from crying. Just like that, I looked at her silently in the darkness. I couldn't bear to hurt her self-esteem."
"Since then, I vowed to let my mother live a rich life. Now I have done it."
