Chapter 961: Human affection is as cold and warm as water
Ma Ruikang sat in the office, since he heard the words "conservative treatment" in Ma Ruilin's mouth, his mind was blank for a while, and he didn't hear Ma Ruilin's next words, Ma Ruikang's parents did not have any medical security and social security, and the identity of the five insurance households was also lost at this moment, so the medical expenses were completely self-paying.
In his memory, his family has always been relatively poor, Ma Ruikang's parents, both suffering from severe hepatitis B and hepatitis C, are weak, and can't do too heavy physical work, since Ma Ruikang can remember, he has never bought any new clothes, the clothes he wears are given by relatives at home, and the shoes he wears are also sent by relatives at home, when children of the same age are playing with four-wheel drive cars and yo-yos, Ma Ruikang gets up before dawn and follows his parents to work in the field.
The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the edge of the sword comes from the sharpening.
In our lives, there are many stories of noble sons from poor families, and the protagonists of those poor families in the story have worked hard since childhood and finally become masters.
But in fact, the probability of a noble son from a poor family is actually very small, many children from poor backgrounds, growing up in cold eyes and ridicule since childhood, not only have a strong inferiority complex, but most people, because they have not received the correct introduction and good education, are more likely to go astray.
Especially in today's society where money paves the way and interests are paramount, more than eighty percent of teachers will not put their energy on a child who can't even pay tuition and miscellaneous fees, and even in many places, even the ranking of class seats is determined by the number of gifts.
It can be seen that a person's success does have a lot to do with the family environment, children from wealthy families must get more resources, and poor families are definitely not linked to success, let alone a condition tied together, he is just an incentive for people to adversity, so if poor teenagers want to succeed, they must not only redouble their efforts, but also have a stronger heart.
Ma Ruikang is lucky, because he is a strong heart, he was born in a broken family at the bottom of society, and on the road to growth, he suffered all kinds of ridicule and cold eyes, but he succeeded.
Today, Ma Ruikang has not only successfully established himself in a giant enterprise like Hongge Group, but also served as the project manager of the second phase of the construction site and enjoyed the treatment of middle-level leaders.
All this makes Ma Ruikang, who has been looked down upon since he was a child, extremely satisfied, at least now he can live with dignity.
Therefore, Ma Ruikang was extremely cautious step by step, for fear that if he missed one step, he would fall back into the fire pit that he had managed to climb out of and make him feel tormented.
Originally, according to Ma Ruikang's plan, as long as he moved forward steadily, he would definitely let his parents live a good life and let the whole family move away from the small mountain village that had been ridiculed all his life.
He once made a great ambition to change the living status of the entire Ma family in five years, but his father's sudden serious illness was like a slap in the face, which made Ma Ruikang sober up again.
He could afford to wait five years, but his elderly and sick parents didn't have so many five years.
Ma Ruikang finally knew that he was not the savior of the Ma family, he was reluctant to eat or wear on weekdays, and the money he saved from his mouth was so vulnerable in the face of disaster.
Ten years of cold window, Ma Ruikang in order to let his parents and brothers live a good life, but his road has just been paved, but his father is seriously ill, this sudden blow easily penetrated Ma Ruikang's hard shell, so that he, who has always been strong and never admits defeat, feels a strong panic, and his heart is full of hesitation and helplessness.
Ma Ruikang sat in the office for nearly half an hour, and then picked up the mobile phone with empty eyes and rummaged through the phone book, but judging from Ma Ruikang's ordinary personality, he actually didn't have any friends in society, he stared at the phone book for a long time, and finally dialed the phone to one of his college classmates, Ma Ruikang's classmate is called Liu Ran, who used to be a roommate in a dormitory with him, and he is also the best family in their class.
"Hello, who is it?" Soon, Liu Ran's voice came down the other end of the phone.
"Liu Ran, hello, I'm Ma Ruikang. Ma Ruikang saw that Liu Ran had even deleted his own number, and his face was very embarrassed.
"Ma Ruikang, why are you calling me?" Liu Ran saw Ma Ruikang calling him, and did not show the enthusiasm of his classmates, but asked puzzled.
"Liu Ran, can you, lend me some money......" Ma Ruikang said with a red face.
"Okay, you can add me to WeChat, and I'll transfer you a few hundred yuan. "Liu Ran's family runs a factory, and the conditions are quite good, although he has no feelings with Ma Ruikang, but the old classmate opened his mouth and agreed happily, after all, it is not money for him.
"The money I'm going to borrow, maybe a bit too much. Ma Ruikang's old face flushed.
"How much?" Liu Ran smiled.
"Three hundred thousand ......!" Ma Ruikang said stiffly.
"You're fucking stupid!
"Duh... Toot ......"
After listening to Ma Ruikang's answer, Liu Ran opened his mouth to scold, and then hung up the phone directly.
Ma Ruikang sat in the office, listening to the scolding on the phone, and the busy sound that followed, there was no expression on his face, but his heart was like dripping blood, from childhood to adulthood, Ma Ruikang was most afraid of being looked down upon, and was extremely sensitive to the attitude of others, even if anyone was a little better to him, he thought that others sympathized with him, he was not afraid of hardship, not afraid of tiredness, but most afraid of others looking down on him.
And today, it is the first time in so many years that Ma Ruikang has begged for someone, and it is also the first time that he has been rejected, and it is the first time that he has been scolded by his classmates.
In normal times, if Ma Ruikang encounters this kind of thing, he will definitely be stronger and more motivated.
But not today, because Liu Ran rejected him, which means that he has to continue to borrow money, he is very embarrassed, but he wants his father to live even more!
After Ma Ruikang was rejected by Liu Ran, he smoked two cigarettes in the office with trembling palms, and then flipped through the phone book and found the number of another classmate.
"Hey, Ruikang?" A hearty male voice soon came from the other side of the phone.
"Master Chen, what are you busy with?" Ma Ruikang is a character who is not good at being polite to others, so when he said this, he made himself feel very awkward, but he also knew in his heart that if he opened his mouth to borrow money directly, he would definitely encounter Liu Ran's attitude.
"Haha, we've all graduated, why do you still call me by the position of the student union, you still call me by my name!"
"You're older than me, so I'll call you Brother Chen!" Ma Ruikang paused: "Brother Chen, what have you been busy with lately?"
"I'm fine, I'm busy, after graduation, my dad opened a BMW 4S shop for me in my hometown, I usually take my girlfriend to travel everywhere, we both went to Yulong Snow Mountain yesterday, and today we are going to ski. Brother Chen explained with a smile, and then changed his words: "By the way, how are you now?"
"Ah, I'm okay, I recently worked in Shen Y Hongge Group. Ma Ruikang replied.
"Still interning?" asked Brother Chen with a smile.
"No, my internship has ended, and now I am assigned to the second phase of the Shengjing Mansion as a project manager!"
"That's okay, although it's hard and tiring, but at least it's a livelihood, with your family conditions, although it's very difficult to gain a foothold in Shen Y, but if you rent a house, it's enough to live." Brother Chen smiled: "When I go to Shen Y, let's get together." ”
"Okay, when you come, I'll entertain you. Ma Rikang took the words.
"Husband, you transfer me 20,000 yuan. Ma Ruikang finished speaking, and the voice of Brother Chen's daughter-in-law came from the other side of the phone.
"What are you doing?" Brother Chen asked his daughter-in-law.
"I'm charging the game and want to buy a new piece of equipment, you hurry up. Brother Chen's daughter-in-law urged.
"Okay, turn it around. After Brother Chen finished talking to his daughter-in-law, he continued to chat with Ma Ruikang: "By the way, you call me, is there something wrong?"
"Ah, something is true. Ma Ruikang felt that the greetings between the two people were almost over, and he changed his words and said, "Brother Chen, there is something, I want to ask you for a favor." ”
"What's the matter, you say. Brother Chen responded.
"In the last few days, my father has suddenly become seriously ill and urgently needs money for surgery, so I want to borrow some money from you, you see, can you help me?"
"Tsk!" Brother Chen pouted: "How much do you need?"
"Three hundred thousand. Ma Ruikang pursed his lips and spoke.
"Ruikang, it's not that I'm not busy with you in this matter, but I've been very tight lately, and I really can't get so much money. Brother Chen was silent for a few seconds and politely refused.
"Brother Chen, if you don't have 300,000, you can borrow me a little!" Ma Ruikang insisted unrelentingly.
"Dude, why don't you understand me. Brother Chen paused for a moment, and continued a little speechlessly: "Let me tell you the truth, I just don't want to lend you this money." ”
"Why?" Ma Ruikang was stunned.
"You know, the relationship between the two of us is just classmates, that's all, there has been no contact for so many years, and I haven't even seen you in the class reunion, and now you open your mouth to ask me for money, do you think it's appropriate?
"Brother Chen, my current job has a salary of 20,000 yuan per month, and when the project is over, the dividends will be hundreds of thousands, and I will definitely be able to return this money to you!" Ma Ruikang explained seriously.
"How much money you can make, that's your business, and whether I'm willing to lend you the money or not is my own business! If you come to me today for dinner and drink, and for a small gathering of classmates, then I'll settle the account and spend some money, there is no problem at all, but if you borrow money, I really feel that there is no such affection between the two of us, and you are not worth anything in my eyes...... Okay, I'm going skiing here, I'll talk when I have time, goodbye. After Brother Chen made his meaning clear, he didn't say a word of nonsense, and hung up the phone directly, not caring at all about the friendship between the two of them, which was lighter than water.
In the empty office, a ray of sunlight hit Ma Ruikang's face through the window, making two lines of crystal tears shine, Ma Ruikang couldn't figure out why God was so unfair to him.
He didn't understand why Brother Chen's daughter-in-law could rush in tens of thousands of dollars when she played a game, and she worked hard, but her elderly father was lying in bed waiting for death at this time because he couldn't afford to pay the huge medical bills.
An accident made Ma Ruikang, who was originally full of hope for life, drowned in the deep sea, and the self-confidence built up by gritting his teeth for several years collapsed in one day.
