Chapter 857: No More Purity
The Buddha said: "This is why there is, this is why there is, this is why there is no reason, this is extinguished, this is destroyed!" ”
Someone once asked me, "What scares you the most on this shijie?" ”
"People!" My answer was puzzled, and I explained, "Because where there are people, there will be desires, and where there are desires, there will be fights, and where there will be bloodshed, where there will be bloodshed, there will be casualties, and where there are casualties, there will be sorrow." In the final analysis, talent is the most terrifying on this shijie! ”
They still didn't understand what I meant, so I told a little story: "There was once a man who was poor and had a family surrounded by walls. There is only one bench in the entire room for resting. For this reason, she often prayed to heaven that she could get out of this predicament at the moment.
Heaven saw that she was pitiful, so the apparition gave her a bag and said to her, "This bag contains a minot, and when you take it out of the bag, a minot will reappear in the bag." But when you want to spend money, you have to throw the bag away before you can spend the money you have taken out. ”
After thanking the gods for her kindness, she began to play with her life and kept taking out silver from the bag, and took out the silver for a whole day and one night, and the ground in the house was full of silver. This money is enough for her to buy a house and land to live a happy life, the problem is that every time she is ready to throw away the money bag, she is very reluctant, she thinks about taking more money, wouldn't it be better to take out the money of her future children?
So she didn't sleep, ate or drink, and took out the silver from the bag. Within a few days, the entire house was filled with silver ingots.
Looking at the room full of silver ingots, she was overjoyed, but when she thought that she was not rich for three generations, she once again made up her mind to make up enough money for her grandchildren and daughters. So she starved, mustered her spirits, and pulled out the silver ingots out of her bag again.
I don't know how many days have passed, until Zuihou, she is so weak that she no longer has the strength to take out the silver in the bag, but she is still reluctant to throw the bag away. Eventually, she starved to death next to the money bag, guarding a room full of silver ingots. ”
After listening to me, the other party suddenly realized that he left with great gratitude, leaving me with great emotion.
It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift! Human desires can never be satisfied, especially when you go from nothing to a house full of gold and silver, and then let you go back to the old days, I believe that few people can bear it.
The reason why I wrote the above little story is because I understood the meaning of the phrase endless desire in Jiang Xiaohan, and the two of us went from ordinary friends to a night of joy, and then to all the things that happened later, which verified this old saying!
Maybe Jiang Xiaohan doesn't see people through like me, and she is free and easy, but she understands that the road to vanity needs to be paved bit by bit.
From the day of the fight, I will often send some gadgets to Jiang Xiaohan. When I found that the other party didn't have a handbag, I gave the other party one, which is not expensive anyway, a few hundred yuan, and I can play with it; I found that the other party didn't know how to make up, and I happened to open a photography studio with a friend at that time, and took advantage of the convenience of work, so I often bought some Korean and Japanese cosmetics to give to each other. found out what Jiang Xiaohan likes to eat, so he took her to eat at least twice a week to satisfy the pleasure on the tip of his tongue; I found that she lingered in front of a certain piece of women's clothing and refused to leave, as long as it wasn't too much, I usually bought it for her on the spot...
The first time we started was a bit of a curse, after we broke up, she once sent me a message that read: "In the days I spent with you, I went from the initial inferiority, to the despise for my own incompetence, and then to the peace of mind of receiving gifts, to the greed of zuihou, and I didn't know it at every step. When I passively accept your gifts, I will take the initiative to think about what I should give back to you. Every time I get the result, I will use the bed to exchange with you. The relationship between the two of us is composed of one exchange after another. Because of my greed, this pure aiqing has changed its taste! ”
In the early days of my relationship with Jiang Xiaohan, I still had plenty of funds. After all, when I came back from the imperial capital, I sold a house in the second ring road, as well as the money given to me by my boss and sister-in-law, and the gray income I saved in those years, the total could reach almost seven figures. Even though the cost of a lawsuit with Nan Nan is huge, with this money, he still lives the drunken life he once lived in the imperial capital.
But in the middle of the relationship with Jiang Xiaohan, the lawsuit came to an end. I have to say here that Nan Nan's family has a very good background, otherwise she wouldn't have looked for my family. Her grandfather was a retired high-ranking official from the provincial department, and the relatives in the family were basically officials at the yamen. Although my father used to be the second-in-command of a state-owned enterprise, he has retired after all, so I suffered a lot from the lawsuit, and I can only say that the judiciary of that era was very corrupt.
In the three years of the lawsuit, I wandered around the ** courtyards in Liaoyang City, Baita, Taizihe, Wensheng and Hongwei, and I was sent to the Intermediate Court. A small civil dispute can be fought for three years, and the more you fight, the stronger the smell of gunpowder becomes, and the more you beat me, the thinner the relationship between me and Nan Nan becomes, and when it hits zuihou, both families are red-eyed.
The other party relied on the convenience of his civil servant and kept looking for someone to entrust him in order to win the lawsuit. It's just that I deeply believe in the boss's sentence: "In this shijie, there is no one who does not pursue his own interests." Therefore, in order to win this simple lawsuit, I spent all the copper plates in my passbook, and I went from a promising young man with a net worth of millions to a poor egg. In the end, I won and defended my rights and interests, but I exhausted all my net worth and my youth. And at that time, it was the middle of my relationship with Jiang Xiaohan.
At that time, Jiang Xiaohan, like most women in the city, began to work hard in the direction of marriage. She wanted me to buy a house, a car, three golds, and a bride price.
Although I have no money, it doesn't mean that my parents don't have money, it's just that I have a strong nature and don't like to open my mouth with my family. But under pressure, I still had a conversation with my parents that day about Jiang Xiaohan and me. I remember talking from the time we finished dinner until two o'clock in the morning.
Jiang Xiaohan has been looking forward to my good news, but what I brought to the other party was another answer: my parents did not support or oppose it!
At first, Jiang Xiaohan thought I was joking with her, after all, I am a person who laughs all day long, and no one knows what I am thinking in my heart, and they all think I am very happy. But more than a week later, Jiang Xiaohan found out that I hadn't lied.
For some of the little things she requested, I began to procrastinate, not as happy as at the beginning, and the meal returned to the original street food level, which made Jiang Xiaohan lose for a long time.
