To save face
The twelfth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar
Xie Han is fond of playing cards, taking playing cards as his main business, taking part-time work as a side business, taking care of eating, drinking and having fun, and his function is to eat inside and out. Initially, he invited fox friends to come to the house to play, no matter day or night, as long as he was on the table, he played in the dark, did not eat or drink to gamble, gambled without sleeping, no matter what happened, as long as the number of people was enough, the table was on the spot, hot and sweaty, cold and shivering to fight, a few days and nights without getting off the table.
He didn't go to the store to help, he also played with the majesty of a man, played with his husband's power, shouted at him from time to time, ordered Yuan Qiuhua to run home, come to serve them full-time, hungry, wine and hot dishes were delivered to his hand, thirsty, tea and drinks were brought to the corner of the table, and the mouth was empty, and pastries and fruits were placed around. When he wins, he treats him and takes him out to eat and drink, and when he loses, he recognizes it, goes to the store to get the money, and goes back to continue the fight.
Don't go to work to earn money during the day, waste time playing cards all day long, save money and gamble, steal money and cheat money just to gamble, men don't look like men, her husband does not live up to her husband's responsibility, she was bored with Yuan Qiuhua, and she was asked to entertain her for free, pay for free, and even dislike her, especially at night, so noisy that Yuan Qiuhua couldn't sleep, and she was pitiful that she had to be like a long-term worker of the landlord's old rich family, the bell rang in the middle of the night, and she worked hard to earn money to support her family.
In the past, Yuan Qiuhua had been holding back, but now she is depressed, and when she sees him playing cards, she is angry, and she feels that she can't bear it anymore. She secretly persuaded Xie Han to fail, noisy and noisy, and it didn't work out after a few fights, "You don't want to lose face, I still have to be cheeky", bad words, I can't stop it after a few battles, "If you don't make money, I still have to support my family" simply lost his temper fiercely, "You are noble, you want face, you don't have rare money, my mother still has to sleep well and live a stable life", he lifted his card table with a cold face.
Card friends know the fun, transfer the venue, "Your wife is spicy, you really dare to lift the card table, neither give you face, nor give us face, why bother to humiliate yourself? We can't afford to provoke, can we hide", never go to the house again. Xie Han was bored, he was addicted to cards, his hands were itchy, his heart was even more itchy, but he couldn't find anyone to play, he rushed to hear that others were gambling, and others didn't let him participate, and he was pushed away, "You are a bad spirit, don't join in the fun, visit here, you are not afraid that your wife will come to smash the field, I am also afraid that she will call the police, where is it lonely, where to stay."
Offended a card friend, no card to play, ruined the gambling relationship, was banned, he thought that his wife did not give him face, it was his wife who made him a loner, so he was passive and slack, he could not do the work, dodge not to do, what must be done, but also procrastinated, the fire burned his eyebrows, but also grinding, not only the work at home, even the work is no exception. From beginning to end, he thinks that the family belongs to his wife, and the children are also his wife's, and it has nothing to do with him to raise a family and raise children for the elderly. He lived to the point of being dispensable, but he asked for clothes to stretch out his hand, food to open his mouth, money to pay off debts, and used his wife as a slave and maid, shouting, scolding, saving face in front of people, and enjoying in the future, and the emperor's majesty.
Xie Han people do not distinguish between relatives and relatives, far and near, priority and priority, good or bad, do not know the importance of things, urgency, depth, honor and disgrace, not only can not shoulder the responsibility for the family, but aggravate the fatigue of relatives, blindly only care about their own fun, regardless of the life or death of the family, become a burden on the family, of course Yuan Qiuhua can not save face for him, besides, the face is given by others, the face is lost by yourself, you ignore your reputation, do something embarrassing, the face is hateful, people can't tolerate dirty, you can't help but despise, of course, you won't save face for you. Besides, if you don't have the ability or strength, you can't get a good face if you twist your head and stiffen your neck to find someone to save face. Whether it is high in the temple, or far away from the rivers and lakes, or the dispute over the property of the family, the people's hearts are sinister, all snobbish, all are not generous, all are not humble, those thick black methods, vicious schemes, people are talking about weighing the interests and disadvantages, interests are contaminated, you have the strength, people will take the generals, share a piece of cake for you, you have the ability, people will recruit troops, give you a job, you have no strength, while waiting to watch the excitement, you are not capable, obediently dodge, avoid not appearing, to avoid unforeseen disasters.
Xie Han didn't understand, didn't listen, and didn't believe in these, relying on the identity of "husband" to suppress his wife, and relying on the affection of "brother" to favor Xie Xiong, just like the two armies were facing each other, both sides were tense, he wanted to jump out to dissuade, but unfortunately he had neither Zhuge Liang's literary talent, nor Zhao Zilong's martial arts, his words were equivalent to farting, naturally no one would listen, and jumped out as an arrow target, the result was of course ten thousand arrows piercing the heart.
Yuan Qiuhua becomes stronger when he is strong, softer when he is weak, sometimes he eats soft but not hard, and sometimes he does not eat oil and salt, he is by no means a good bodhisattva, and he is also a powerful character. She has been lurking in the depths of the water, has suffered hardships and struggles, has endured life and death, surfaced and fried, betrayed and betrayed, loved and hated and abandoned, she has read the world and people, calm and calm, rigorous and self-disciplined, proficient in doorways and routines, senior in actual combat experience, has long understood that this battle must be fought, but she is not sure what will become the fuse. Generally speaking, no one can judge in advance what the future will bring, but a keen intuition can be transformed into a "sixth" premonition, and the ability to hone the ability of unpredictable prophets in patterns and laws with potential. In other words, she has been holding back, that is, patiently waiting for the opportunity to light the bomb, she needs an "extraordinary" event to happen, to give a teacher a reason to be famous, no matter in morality, reason, morality, she also needs time to prepare, whether in speech, economy, timing, can not act hastily, recklessly.
Xie Xiong's move to grab the foundation of the house, Xie Han was short-sighted and thought that it was accidental, Yuan Qiuhua planned for a long time to calculate the inevitable trend, how much foreshadowing she secretly made, and how many waves she pushed away from him, only she knew that things were man-made, everything was already doomed, "emergencies" must appear, and "embezzlement must be vomited" is a foregone conclusion. Now, she is still quietly dispatching troops and making arrangements, Confucianism, Legalism, and soldiers are all in battle, officialdom, shopping malls, and civilian fields are out together, and she has already seen through Xie Han's fate in her heart, but she is lucky, and still hopes that he will not be stupid enough to be a target.
Xie Han is ignorant and incompetent, has no rules, has no etiquette, and thinks that the world revolves around him, he is fearless and shameless, accumulates small evils into big evils, and commits a family taboo, but he is greedy and does not change, he wants to "unjust" money, but also "honorable" face, the double-faced spy should be clumsy, the two ends are untrustworthy, the two sides fall into the well, fall into the whirlpool and cannot extricate themselves, and also want to gain fame and fortune, pitiful and hateful. Yuan Qiuhua didn't bother to talk to him in detail, and only gave him a choice: either get money and lose face, or lose money and gain face, do you want to be a good husband or a big man?
Xie Han speculated that Yuan Qiuhua grabbed his pigtails and didn't let go, I was afraid that he was going to take advantage of the situation to sweep him out of the house, and his wife was going to divorce her husband. She is capable, without him, she can live a good life, he is incompetent, without her, life will not fall, from rich to poor, from noble to poor, from white eyes to cold, he can't stand it, from bright clothes to down-and-out, from bustling cities to depressed villages, the neighbors despise his brothers and dislike him, he can't get used to it, from worry-free food and clothing to worrying about three meals, from having money to spend to not having money to earn, begging for mercy, low three or four, he can't adapt more. He is unwilling: you want money and shame, profit and fame, you want power and not husband, you are ruthless and ruthless, you are really bad out of the level, you do a good job!
Yuan Qiuhua said: The reason why you can't have both fish and bear's paws is because you are not smart or excellent, not upright and not upright, not responsible and not practiced, I only give you a choice, you must make a decision immediately!
Xie Han said: You are flexible and sleek, exquisite, and have a soft spot, why did you marry me in the first place?
Yuan Qiuhua said: You are disloyal and shameless, selfish and deceitful, and you still say that I am treacherous? I broke off my love and amputated my limbs to survive, not for myself!
Xie Han said: For the sake of the child, you can't drive me away.
Yuan Qiuhua said: Now that you have moved the children out as rescuers, have you ever thought about the children when you give up the new house and the foundation of the house? After we die, not only the new house and the foundation of the house are children, but also the buildings that have been built are also children! You have joined forces with them to bully me, and your mouth is "surnamed Yuan", so I may not be able to put this new house, this foundation, this building, I can put it in my pocket and bring it into a coffin and bury it with the soil?
Xie Han said: You can leave it to your children after you die, why can't you give it to me when you live?
Yuan Qiuhua said: I gave it to you, and you gave it to them again, and finally said that it was exposed! If you give it to them, it will be their children in the future, do you understand? If you really think about your own children, how can I be unwilling? You can compete with anyone, but you can't compete with your own flesh and blood! Why haven't you thought about what you have left for your children?
Xie Han said: Their children are also my nephews. My children are clothed and fed, and my nephews are hungry and cold, and they do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and give them some to save them.
Yuan Qiuhua said: Did you give us the clothes and food? You still have the face to be the masters of our house! Hunger and cold, whoever gives birth is responsible, and if you need relief, you should apply to the government, eat a subsistence allowance, live in a low-rent house, and ask for education subsidies. When they saw the money, they started to rob it? The bank has the most money, so why don't they rob it?
Xie Han said: They have both parents, they have a house and land, they are not sick or disabled, they can't apply, and their lives are difficult only because the child has been born for many miles. Guanyin Bodhisattva is watching, it is not suitable to obey but only to steal, you are not gracious for the rich, reluctant to save people, people only have to rob and deceive, three thieves are better than one robbery.
Yuan Qiuhua said: I gave birth to four children, and I will give birth to five children, I am not afraid of being too many children, but I am afraid that I will not be able to conceive cubs, and now I can't raise them, so I sharpen my knife and slaughter me as a sheep.
Xie Han said: The law is nothing more than human affection, and it is your cold-blooded to see poverty.
Yuan Qiuhua said: Favors are courtesy, they have not helped me, why should I subsidize them? Favors are how they treat me, how I repay them, they have done me badly, not necessarily I have to repay the kindness? Well, thank them for bringing disaster to me?
Xie Han said: If you don't take care of them, they will make a trick, you are really hard-hearted, if you want their lives, you have to kill me first!
Yuan Qiuhua said: Cracking down on local tyrants and eating big households is an evil done by bandits, and it belongs to the target of the government's elimination of criminal syndicates and evil forces. Eat inside and crawl outside to be a traitor, you are the scourge, the root of bad things, I will prevent it before it happens, just because you can't believe it, you can't rely on it!
Xie Han said: You have a background and a backer, you call the police and ask the government to help you arrest them and send them to prison. You don't have to drive me away, I'm already separated from my wife, and everyone is betrayed!
Yuan Qiuhua said: If you do a lot of injustice, you will be angry and resentful, but it is not that you will not report it, and the time has not yet come. You want to help them block the bullets? As soon as the machine gun goes off, you're just dying with them, cannon fodder.
Xie Han said: My brother, you should live and die together! I just don't want my wife to be separated, so you want me to die?
Yuan Qiuhua explained: I didn't want you to die, nor did I drive you away, I just didn't want to support my family anymore, I didn't want to support you anymore! Should a good husband support his wife? Should a big man support his family? I am giving you the opportunity to be a good person!
Xie Han said: Pay the money, hand over the power, the company, and the store to me? You are a housewife!
Yuan Qiuhua said: I will leave it to you, and you will recruit them in again, and they will eat the whale in partnership, and you will think beautifully! I am a housewife and the housewife, and you earn money to support the family, so why should I pay out of my pocket?
Xie Han said: To make glutinous rice cakes, to make flour, to do business to be a capital, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, if you don't support some money, how can I support my family? No one can make a fortune by selling coolies, no investment or risk, doomed to poverty, I don't make money, what do you buy?
Yuan Qiuhua said: You can't get rich by working part-time, but you can support your family with hard work, and so many peasant workers in the country, as long as they can bear hardships and stand hard work, their living standards and living conditions are not lower than those of ordinary urban residents. Others can work and earn money, why can't you?
Xie Han said: Otherwise, you let me go to the company to manage logistics, or introduce me to the construction site to manage materials, drought and flood to ensure income, monthly salary, stable work, life is stable.
Yuan Qiuhua said: If you don't starve craftsmen in a famine year, aren't you a bricklayer?
Xie Han said: You are the general manager of the company, I am your husband, I will do a big job, you don't want to lose face, I still want face.
Yuan Qiuhua said: Earn money by labor, support yourself, and lose face? You don't do any work, you eat, drink, and have fun all day long, and you wander around, just to save face?
Xie Han said: Selling coolies, wind and sun, dirty and tired, I won't go.
Yuan Qiuhua said: Thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, you work well, your craftsmanship is outstanding, peers are admired, and there is no objection to the promotion, I will naturally be entrusted with important tasks. Even if it's a stepping stone, you have to pick up a brick and knock on the door, even if it's a springboard, you have to stand and jump again, so you don't hold your hands, your feet don't jump, what kind of reason do I use to explain to you?
Xie Han said: You are the general manager, you say something, who dares not to listen? If you don't obey, you will be fired!
Yuan Qiuhua said: In the long run, it is strange if I don't close the door, I use talents, not slaves, I want to make profits, not prestige, stress democracy, not hegemony.
Xie Han said: Speaking of the sky, you still want money and shamelessness, if you don't give me face, I won't support my family.
Yuan Qiuhua said: It's too lazy to do it, you have to get by, you are shameless to give face! You love face, I want to tear your face and peel off your inside!
Xie Han refused to go to work, Yuan Qiuhua was uncompromising, quarreling with each other, making trouble when making trouble, fighting when fighting, not afraid of bleeding from his head, ruthless and not afraid, anyway, he would not get used to his bad habits. She was tough to the end, cut off the economic supply, let the debt collector find the creditor, let the fee find the householder, let the invitation card find the parents, let the teacher find the child's father, and the cowardly Xie Han admitted, after all, money is human courage, and there is no money to eat shit.
Xie Han wanted to play cards, so he went to the mahjong parlor outside, played the small cards of the pentagonal one, made do with the old man, and made ends with the old lady. Playing for a day, winning or losing is only within 100 yuan, he is not excited, he can't lift his spirits, the more he plays, the more boring he is, and he is not interested in the mahjong parlor.
