    Her anxiety peaked when she heard Linda express her reluctance to continue ying. ine eximed, “How can we stop just because you want to quit? We agreed to y eight rounds, and so far, we’ve onlypleted three!”


    Linda responded with a sigh, “Sister ine, it’s not that I don’t want to y with you, but the reality is you don’t have the funds to keep going!”


    After finishing her statement, Linda suggested, “How about we take a step back? You can settle your ount first, and then we can y a smaller game. I’m happy to y, even if it’s for one thousand or one hundred dors. Does that work for you?”


    ine, feeling anxious, replied, “One thousand? One hundred? How can we do that? I won’t be able to win back my money with such small bets!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Linda exined, “If you want to keep betting ten thousand dors, you need to withdraw that amount first. Otherwise, I don’t want to y anymore, and we should just stop for today.”


    Hannah quickly intervened, saying, “Sister Linda, ine really doesn’t have that much money right now. Since we’re friends, can’t you give her a break?”


    Hannah then exchanged a knowing wink with Linda, who understood the implicit message.


    “Alright, I’ll give you a chance today because of Hannah,” Linda said. “If you don’t have cash, you can use something of equal value as coteral.”


    Feeling a glimmer of hope, ine responded, “I live in a small three-bedroom apartment. It should be worth at least two million dors. Can I put the house up as coteral?”


    “That works!” Linda smiled. “But you’ll need to bring me the house deed first, and we’ll also need a mortgage contract.”


    ine eagerly replied, “Okay! I’ll go get the house deed right now!” She jumped up to leave in a hurry.


    “Wait!” Linda called after her. “You haven’t paid me the five hundred sixty thousand dors you lost yet.”


    ine quickly checked her bank bnce and realized she only had two hundred sixty thousand dors left. “Sister Linda, I can transfer that amount to you now. Then I’ll go home for the house deed, and you can deduct the rest from my mortgage. How does that sound?”


    “That’s fine,” Linda replied. “But first, write me an IOU for three hundred thousand dors. I need some assurance that you’ll pay me back after you leave, right?”


    Desperate to secure her chance to continue ying mahjong, ine nodded without hesitation. “Alright, I’ll write you the IOU right now!”


    Linda quickly provided a piece of paper and a pen, and ine wrote the IOU for three hundred thousand dors. Linda finally allowed her to leave after ine pressed her fingerprint on the document.


    ine rushed home, knowing her daughter was likely still at work and her husband and son-inw would be out for a reunion. She was confident they wouldn’t discover her n to retrieve the house deed.


    With the deed in hand, ine returned to the vi at Thompson First shortly after.


    Once there, Linda checked the market value of homes in the same area on her phone and discovered that the lowest price for a simr house was only one million eight hundred thousand dors. She then turned to ine and said, “Sister ine, the bank usually epts only ny percent of the market value for mortgages. Given your house’s value, you’ll only receive one million six hundred twenty thousand dors.”


    Desperate to keep ying, ine said, “Okay, I’ll mortgage my house for one million six hundred twenty thousand dors. After paying off the three hundred thousand I owe you, you can transfer me the remaining one million three hundred twenty thousand dors. Can we do that?”


    “That’s eptable,” Linda agreed, “but we need to draft a mortgage contract first. I wouldn’t want you to deny it if you end up losing the house.”


    “Let’s hurry up and sign the contract so we can get back to ying!” ine urged.


    After signing the mortgage contract and pressing her fingerprint on it, Linda transferred one million three hundred twenty thousand dors to ine.


    Linda was unfazed by the transaction, knowing that even though she transferred that money to ine, it would soon find its way back to her.
