070, life has six desires, seven emotions and eight sufferings (medium)
On the other end of the phone, the voice was indeed my high school classmate Luo Lin's, but he came to ask for a debt, saying that I borrowed him 3,000 yuan almost a year ago, and he needs money now, and wants me to pay him back first, when I asked him if he had an IOU, his tone was very bad, obviously thinking that I didn't want to pay back the money, and said some ugly things, I took the phone away from my ear, until I heard that it almost stopped, and I said lightly to Luo Lin that if he was in Jiangcheng, let him come to me at the barbecue stall, and I will return the money to him!
Hanging up the phone, my mood became worse, I just felt that everything in this world was too cheesy, why can't I do without the word money?
The fat man and Yin Jin looked at me strangely, but they didn't ask anything, probably they had heard from the phone, some things would be more embarrassing to ask, at this time Mengmeng took the wine again, and the fat man directly opened the wine and put it in front of me.
I was in a bad mood, raised my bottle and said a word of congratulations to them, then looked up and walked away!
Young people have no sorrow, my sorrow with this whole bottle of wine after fermentation in my blood and finally completely raged in the body, the churning of the stomach did not make me feel pain, but brought a trace of tyrannical pleasure, is this why men need wine?
I stretched out my hand to the fat man and said, "Give me a cigarette!" ”
The fat man stared at me in surprise, as if he was stunned, and asked me for a while, what's wrong with you, won't you be reluctant to give up this red envelope, right?
I was amused by the fat man's joke, and waved my hand impatiently and insisted on asking him to give me a cigarette, but he couldn't help it, so he had to take out a cigarette case from his pocket and hand it to me, and then lit one myself, but it was quickly snuffed out by Yin Jin's displeased eyes!
I took a sharp puff of my lit cigarette, choking on the smoke that poured into my nose, and the coughing sound of my raw hand came out of my mouth, and the fat man stopped with a worried look on his face and asked me if something was wrong and if he could help......
I smiled wryly and continued to smoke the cigarette, getting used to the feeling of smoke oppressing my breath, almost when a cigarette was almost at the end, I gradually got used to this feeling, facing the fat man's worried eyes, I just shook my hand and said that I was fine, I just wanted to try it!
But even Yin Jin heard what I said, and there seemed to be a hint of worry in her eyes.
In fact, they don't understand, just now at that moment I suddenly had an epiphany of things, a lot of human sophistication, and the coldness and reality of this society! From Liu Manrong's departure, I realized that she was disappointed in me again, and this phone call to ask me for a debt reminded me once again of my badness!
There are many times in life that I don't have a choice, what I'm afraid of is choosing the wrong life and path, but I seem to have just slept and have no choice, Liu Manrong just tested me slightly, but I don't even have the ability to disguise.
I poured a sip of wine, the fat man and Yin Jin looked at me blankly as if they had become a foil, Yin Jin wanted to persuade me, but the fat man stopped her, and the fat man had an understanding and tolerance ability beyond ordinary friends at a critical time, which made me feel more and more too young!
Not long after, a taxi stopped at the intersection, and a man in a white shirt came over and glanced around the store, then looked at me with a displeased expression and said, Yang Ming, don't you just transfer the money to me, why do you let me run so far?
I raised my head and looked at him coldly, not that I was ruthless, but I was simply in a very unhappy mood and looked at this former classmate and sneered and said, aren't you just afraid that I will not pay back the money, but you don't have an IOU, am I not also afraid that you will not admit it after receiving the money, isn't it just right that someone here testifies?
After speaking, I found a wad of money and slapped it on the table and said coldly: "Count the three thousand yuan yourself and take it, don't say that I am ruthless, whether I owe you in the past or not, I will not owe you in the future!" ”
Luo Lin's face became very strange, looking at the money on the table, it seemed that he wanted to be angry, but his hand reached over very honestly and picked up the money to count thirty and held it in his hand, and then put the rest back, then stared at me indifferently and sneered and said, I don't know what kind of strength you have, your face wife has divorced you, and you are embarrassed to give the person who lent you the money in the first place...... If I didn't really want money, I would feed the dog with this money, hum!
I took a moment to the ground, glared at him angrily, and shouted, "What are you talking about? Say it again? ”
The fat man also stood up, stared at Luo Lin with a displeased face and sneered and said, I have seen a lot of friends, I don't see many people who are drunk and drunk, and I don't see many people who fall into the well, saying that others are dogs, I don't think you are a good thing, take your money and get out!
Rollin looked at the two of us, snorted coldly with a cloudy face, and quickly turned to leave.
I looked at the figure of Luo Lin walking away in embarrassment, and felt more and more that I was too sad, how could I be shameless to be cheeky and borrow 3,000 yuan from such a person? How many embarrassing memories and debts did this former Yang Ming leave me?
I sat down and continued to drink in a very bad mood, the fat man vaguely understood my troubles, and also picked up the wine bottle to drink with me, but Yin Jin became a little overwhelmed and didn't know whether to persuade or not.
A dozen of the wine was finished by me and the fat man, and I muttered to Mengmeng to bring another dozen, but Mengmeng was a little angry and carried two bottles of ice water over and slammed them on the table and snorted at me: "Drink, drink...... Drink you to death, do you know that Sister Xiaoru is about to be annoyed to death by that Jiang Hao now, if you don't cheer up, Sister Xiaoru will probably lose her job! ”
"Huh?" I looked at Mengmeng strangely, and asked with a tongue that was not very flexible, "You, you...... Say what? Xiaoru ...... How could she lose her job? ”
Mengmeng stood in front of me and said to me with an angry expression, she has now turned positive, it is Sister Xiaoru who helps, and she is in the same office as Sister Xiaoru, but recently Jiang Hao is looking for an excuse to work every day to annoy Liang Xiaoru, Liang Xiaoru has refused Jiang Hao's invitation to invite her to dinner many times, just today, the boss of the company asked Liang Xiaoru to cooperate with Jiang Hao's work, and took the opportunity to put forward the temptation of promotion, Liang Xiaoru did not agree, the boss said that if this project is not done well, let Liang Xiaoru resign by himself......
I was even more irritable when I heard it, and said to Mengmeng with a complicated face, Liang Xiaoru's matter has nothing to do with me, don't you know that we are divorced?
The next moment, Mengmeng picked up a cup of tea on the table and poured it on my face, even the fat man and Yin Jin only had time to let out an exclamation, I was poured unkempt by her, the coolness of the water made me can't help but snort, when I was about to get angry, Brother Hong grabbed it and scolded Mengmeng with a smile and asked her to go back to the house to read, my anger could only be suppressed!
Mengmeng stomped his feet and turned around unwillingly, Brother Hong took some skewers and sat with me a little embarrassed, and then opened a bottle of wine and smiled at me: "Young people will inevitably encounter such and such troubles, although Mengmeng did not do it right, but I will be fair...... A hundred years of repairing the same boat and spending a thousand years of repairing and sleeping together, no matter how you and your ex-wife divorced, but now that she is in trouble, as a man, even an ordinary friend who knows will find a way to help, do you understand? ”
I smiled wryly, thinking that if I were an ordinary friend, I might be able to help, but in what capacity should I go? And just today at dusk, I didn't even dare to answer Liu Manrong's hypothetical temptation, I didn't dare to promise, what could I do to help her?
Last night, I was still greedily enjoying the sweetness and happiness that Liu Manrong brought me, but at dusk, I felt Liu Manrong's real regret and confusion very clearly, and the root of all this lies in my uncertain future............
In the final analysis, I am still the man who can't give anyone to rely on and fantasize, Liu Manrong is disappointed that I dare not promise, and I regret that she made the same choice under impulse, but what I feel painful is that I have gradually understood the truth of many adults, but I still have the ability to survive as an adult!
