My Husband Lost 25K on New Year; I Let Him Play OnChapter 1
During the New Year, my husband lost 25,000 dollars playing cards in one night.
That was the hard-earned money we saved by living frugally while working outside for a year.
It was also my daughter’s tuition, my father’s surgery fees and our family’s living expenses for the coming year.
My husband knelt at the door of the room all night, begging for my forgiveness.
I cried all night.
Finally, I took out my daughter's 150 dollars New Year's gift money and handed it to my husband while saying in an angry tone, “You can continue to gamble tonight.”
——
“Honey, I was wrong. I was really wrong! Please forgive me this time. I will never gamble again!”
When I took out my daughter's New Year's money and asked my husband to continue gambling, he slapped himself madly and assured me.
Obviously, my husband not only knew that he was wrong, but he was also afraid.
But I grabbed my husband's wrist and told him seriously that we had to continue gambling tonight.
The husband excitedly went to the kitchen and picked up a kitchen knife, then stared at his swollen face and said, “Honey, I really do not want to gamble anymore, I'll prove it to you now!”
As he said this, he raised the kitchen knife and was about to chop off his hand.
I quickly snatched the kitchen knife from my husband's hand and threw it far away, then I put my hands on her shoulders and said, “I believe you and I forgive you.”
It was not that I was soft-hearted.
But my husband was called to a party by his so-called friends last night.
Among friends, playing cards for three or five pounds was just harmless fun—it was normal to win or lose a few quid.
But losing twenty-five thousand in a single night?
There was only one explanation, my husband had been set up!
When he heard me say I forgave him, a glimmer of light finally appeared in my husband's eyes.
He wiped his tears and said, “Honey, I'm going to pack my bags now and go to work in the factory.”
Seeing that my husband's eyes were filled with remorse, I stopped him again and said, “After the New Year, our daughter has to pay tuition and our father also needs surgery. Even if we go to work overnight, it will not solve the problem at all.”
My husband's face suddenly turned pale and he regretted his decision even more. He opened his lips but did not know what to say to me.
