Chapter 080: Rich and Capricious
Jia Youwei raised his right index finger and pointed to the things Tang Weiwei bought and said, "The cosmetics, skin care products and so on used by your women are all consumables, and they are not cheap.
Those who sell their kidneys for money to buy an Apple phone can still take it out and show it off and use it for a long time, and this kind of thing will not be available for long!
I believe that not every girl has a similar family background as yours. Could it be that they bought a set just to support their faces?"
Tang shook his head slightly and said, "There is really still a generation gap between our two generations. Even those girls from poor families will compare themselves with each other. It's just that it saves a lot more than us.
This is not just a matter of a girl's face, but a matter of dignity. As for your question, I once asked a girl from a bad family euphemistically.
She told me personally that in the eyes of rich people, she was considered ridiculous and even vain. However, this has reached the lowest line of her dignity. She couldn't stand the undisguised disdain and even cynicism that others gave her.
Girls from poor families generally have either an inferiority complex, a gloomy personality, a submissive personality, and no assertiveness, or a long-term inferiority complex leads to the other extreme, excessive self-esteem, and then accompanied by pride, particularly sensitive, narrow-minded, scheming, showing an aggressive rooster-like character. ”
Jia Youwei picked up the wine glass in his right hand and drank the aperitif in the cup with his head up. At this time, although he didn't speak, he couldn't help but think of his ex-wife Qin Qing who had borrowed Jia Baoyu to say a lot about himself.
Jia Baoyu was said by Xue Baochai to be a rich idler, but in fact, he never cared about the life and death of the people at the bottom, so he just said "why not eat minced meat".
He enjoyed all the social and economic privileges offered by his family, but he was unwilling to shoulder the mission of being the concubine of Jia Zheng of Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Baoyu is not a stupid person, but a person with a serious "partial talent", who knows a thing or two about the three religions and nine streams, and his poems are gorgeous, but he doesn't like the "Eight Strands" that can put him on the right path.
He is not interested in the knowledge of career economics, but he has a deep study of those side studies. There are many such characters in ancient society, many talented people in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, medicine and stars, all of them are proficient, all of them are proficient, but they frequently fall behind on the road to the imperial examination, and they are not good at scheming, and their lives are down.
Jia Baoyu didn't know how to weigh the joke of silver, once, Qingwen was infected with wind and cold, and Jia Baoyu asked Dr. Hu to come and see a doctor.
After Dr. Hu checked Qingwen's pulse, he prescribed a prescription, Jia Baoyu saw that there were medicines such as citrus aurantium and ephedra in the prescription, and used the same fierce medicine as treating men, and Jia Baoyu saw at a glance that it was "the medicine of the tiger and wolf".
So, Jia Baoyu planned to send her mother-in-law to ask Imperial Doctor Wang to come over and diagnose Qingwen's condition. One minute ago, Jia Baoyu was still a capable person who knew medical science, but the next minute Jia Baoyu encountered embarrassment.
It turned out that it would cost one or two silver to invite the imperial physician to pay for the sedan chair and horse, and the money and property expenses of Yihong Hospital were usually dispatched by the attacker, and the attacker went home to visit relatives during this time.
Musk Yue found a few pieces of silver from the cabinet, and didn't know how heavy each piece was, so she took the silver bar to weigh it, but she didn't know the scale mark on it, so she asked Jia Baoyu: "That's one or two stars." ”
Jia Baoyu didn't understand this kind of small weighing pole, so he made fun of Musk Yue as a newcomer. Jia Baoyu was embarrassed to ask others, so he asked Musk Yue to choose a big piece of silver, and would rather give others more silver than let people underestimate themselves.
The mother-in-law outside the door didn't look at the mother-in-law, and knew from the shape of the silver nugget that Musk Yue gave too much, she smiled and said: "That's half of the five taels of ingots, and there are at least two taels of this piece!"
Not to mention Jia Baoyu, even as one of the four big girls, Musk Yue can't tell the difference, and he has no concept of money. Musk Yue was originally from a humble background, and since she was a child, she has lived a good life in Jiafu for a long time, and she has also broken away from the original social class, or she has achieved a leap above the original class.
Tang Weiwei saw the thoughtful Jia Youwei, but he didn't know that he was thinking about other things, and mistakenly thought that he was interested: "Back then, the telecom fraud that caused a sensation in the whole country, the Xu Yuyu case, didn't it explain everything?"
Many people said that she was stupid and would be angry to death for the 9,900 yuan she lost. In fact, these people don't know what 9,900 yuan means for a poor rural family.
Not to mention a year, I'm afraid I won't be able to save such a sum of money for many years. The money they earn is really not easy, and it is really hard-earned money. really responded to that sentence, money is hard to make, and is hard to eat.
For rich people, he will transfer another 9,900 yuan to the scammer, come to one I know he is lying to me, I just want to see how he deceives me, rich and capricious. ”
Jia Youwei slowly came back to his senses, and while pouring wine into his cup, he hit the nail on the head and said: "People from different walks of life look at problems from completely different angles. It is not money that earns money, but money that is saved, and money that can maintain and increase its value is wealth. ”
Tang sighed slightly and heavily: "In the past, I still couldn't understand people, but now, I can more or less understand the helplessness and misfortune of others.
You and I are well aware that the cost of consumption or survival here in Beijing is not generally high for ordinary outsiders, especially for poor students who come out of remote areas.
A dinner like this is already the annual income of many people. And there are some people whose annual income is far from enough to pay for our meal tonight. ”
"Why does it make me feel that you are more mature than me when I suddenly talk about such a heavy topic with you?" Jia Youwei said in a self-deprecating tone.
Tang smiled slightly, shook his shoulders and said, "You picked up this topic." I'm just giving you a necessary explanation, and nowadays, the culture of girls' dormitories is not all filthy.
If there is a better choice, who is willing to be a lover to an old man, who is willing to take out a naked loan, and who is willing to sell himself for money? From a moral point of view, it is indeed wrong. However, there are two different things in practical life and morality. ”
"Wang" two dog barks, interrupting Tang Weiwei's words. She and Jia Youwei invariably focused their attention in the direction where the barking of the dog came.
"How can people bring dogs in such a high-class place?" complained a female guest, dissatisfied.
"I'll take it. What's wrong? If you're not satisfied, you can go! And no one has to ask you to eat here. Jia Qianqian's eyes looked at Tang Weiwei with unhappy eyes, and directly pushed back the words.
"Whose kid is this? The female guest stood up indignantly.
The lobby manager hurriedly trotted to the other party, not to explain and appease with kind words, but to say lightly: "She is the eldest lady of the Jia family." ”
The female guest's anger disappeared in an instant, and she changed her face faster than turning a book, and sat down with a smile and changed her words: "It's so cute and personal." I like this little Lori the most. ”
