Before heading home for New Year's, I casually bought a lottery ticket and won ten million yuan.
Afraid of attracting unwanted attention, I put the money away and told my parents I'd only won one million.
Unexpectedly, my younger brother came home with his girlfriend that very night.
My parents told me to give him the whole million for the bride price.
I said I could only give him another fifty thousand, since I needed to save the rest for an appendectomy.
To my surprise, that night they killed me by blasting me with firecrackers.
After I died, they discovered the real balance in my account. Enraged, they had me cremated and scattered my ashes.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the moment my parents found out I'd won the lottery.
Looking at their delighted faces,
I smirked and said, "What's there to be happy about? I only won a hundred yuan."
