At that time, there was no subway in Shenyang, and I was so dizzy when I took the bus, so I called a taxi. At about six o'clock that night, Ms. Ma's husband and I made an appointment to meet at a certain intersection and came to Ms. Ma's house together. Although her home is ordinary, it is very tidy, and it can be seen that both of them prefer to be clean. The dinner was not as rich as I expected, only three dishes, a small amount, like a five-star hotel. The content is two vegetarian and one meat, and that meat dish is also less meat and more vegetables. I thought to myself, even if you two are environmentally friendly, first-time guests can't be monks with you, right?

Ms. Ma may have seen my dissatisfaction, so she said: "My husband is a person who pays attention to health, and he said that people can't eat too much meat, otherwise they will die quickly." ”

I couldn't cry or laugh, but her husband was more direct and said to me: "Mr. Tian, this diet is the most healthy, you have to thank me for picking up a big bargain." ”

During the meal, the news broadcast began to play on the TV, and Ms. Ma put down her chopsticks and sat on the sofa to start watching. I'm embarrassed, how else can I eat this meal? Ms. Ma said: "It's okay for you to eat yours, this is our family's habit, in fact, it is his habit, and I have to abide by it." ”

Ms. Ma's husband said, "Don't say it, you let the guests eat by themselves, come here!" ”

That's it, the two of them started to watch the news broadcast while I was eating slowly, I sat next to me after eating, bored and watched, half an hour of the program, the two of them didn't say a word, I don't understand what this show has to offer. After the show, Ms. Ma's husband asked her, "Did you see it?" ”

Ms. Ma nodded vigorously: "Hmm." ”

Her husband asked, "Tell me what you've seen in there." ”

Ms. Ma began to talk about the content of the program just now, as well as her own feelings. I'm completely stupid, I don't know what this means, could it be that the two of them are making a show for me, but what is the purpose?

Finally, after the two finished speaking, they continued to eat, and sat together after the meal to talk about business. I asked Ms. Ma if her husband worked in a government, an enterprise or an institution, or if he was a businessman who often had to deal with the government. Ms. Ma's husband said: "No, I work as a logistics worker in a private company. ”

This surprised me, so why are you so concerned about news broadcasts? But I don't want to ask, what is good for each person, maybe people are born interested in national events.

It's finally time to get down to business. Ms. Ma's husband asked, "We don't know anything about this Thai amulet, Kuman Thong or anything, but we have friends and colleagues around us, and they say that it works and so on." You also know my wife's situation, we are all from Shenyang, so I don't have to hide it from you. Both of us have been relatively good since we were children, so it is inevitable that some people will be jealous and bad behind our backs. My wife was framed in college and is now staying at home. A colleague of mine traveled to Thailand a while ago, and came back with a Buddhist card, saying that he could help the peach blossoms, but this kid found a beautiful and rich girlfriend within half a month, and now he is about to get married, and he is decorating the house. What I want to ask is, is the Thai Buddha really so godly? ”

I smiled: "The Buddha Guman is not omnipotent, and it also has a great effect. You can't use them to do bad things, and you can't change what is rooted in you. ”

Ms. Ma asked, "What does this mean?" ”

I said, "Let's take an analogy, if you have a person who is always very poor and wants to use the amulet to make yourself rich, but you don't work hard, it's useless. Even if you get rich, you will eventually be unlucky. Or if the poor man thinks he works very hard, but he always has no money to earn, and if the truth is that this person's efforts are all sideways, or in the opposite direction, then it will not work. ”

Ms. Ma's husband said: "It's so complicated! But who knows if the reason is their own? ”

I said, "Demons and gods cannot be deceived, and the final result will always prove it." ”

Ms. Ma's husband pouted: "I think this is all a lie, if it works, if it doesn't work, you can put the blame on the customer himself, so how can you buy it with confidence?" ”

I said, "Your suspicions are not unfounded, but this thing just has this characteristic, and many times it doesn't work out well, but the changes that have happened before are obvious." For example, when I first started this business, I took a Chinese customer surnamed Hu who lived in Thailand, and he wanted to make a fortune, and after asking Kuman to make a strong wish, he won the Thai lottery jackpot with millions of baht, but in the end his whole family went crazy and went to a mental hospital. ”

Both of them were shocked and asked why, and I said, "Everyone's fortune is limited, and if you don't have a rich life in your life, but you have to make a windfall, the demons and gods will have to take something from you to offset it." ”

The couple looked at each other with a look of fear on their faces. I hurriedly added: "What I said is all about inviting evil yin cards, I suggest you ask for a genuine card, so you don't have to worry." ”

Ms. Ma nodded: "I also think that the genuine card is a little better, originally my popularity is good, and it is enough to have a genuine card." After all, someone else framed me, otherwise how could I be kicked out of school, husband, do you say no? ”

Her husband nodded: "No, my wife has been excellent since she was a child, she has never done anything wrong, of course she is inseparable from me, it is all my guidance, and we both do the right thing." If someone else is different from us, it must be someone else's fault. ”

This is big enough, and I object: "No one in this world has never done anything wrong, not even Sage Confucius, let alone ordinary people. I think you're a little too egotistical, and this shortcoming needs to be fixed. ”

Ms. Ma's husband was very unhappy: "Why are you so easily jealous like her colleagues at school?" ”

Ms. Ma played a round game: "Don't care, in fact, I can understand this kind of psychology very well, seeing that others are better than themselves, many people will go from envy and admiration to jealousy, everyone is not a saint, normal." ”

I'm about to throw up, where did these two people get their innate superiority? Ms. Ma added: "Growing up, there were many people who were jealous of me everywhere I went, and I gradually got used to it. I have a very good reputation in school, whether it is colleagues or classmates, they are very polite when talking to me, they come to me if they have anything, since it has nothing to do with me, it is the same, but it is inevitable that there will be villains, I was expelled from school because of villains, no way. ”

Before leaving, I asked why I had to come to the house for dinner, and Ms. Ma's husband said, "Actually, it's not to save money, but to see you with my own eyes." It's not that I don't believe you, it's that I want to know what the person I'm working with is like. ”

I asked, "What kind of person do you say I am?" ”

He said: "You are the kind of person who will never get rich in this life, and you don't have much money, but it doesn't matter, 99% of the people in the world are like this, and you don't have to worry too much." ”

I was speechless, and I probably guessed who this Ms. Ma was, she was extremely self-centered in general, presumably instilled by her parents since childhood. I hate this kind of person very much, and it seems that I won't buy too expensive Buddhist cards, and I don't think I'll make a lot of money, so I want to give up this business, mainly because I don't want to see this kind of person hold my breath.

After returning home, Ms. Ma called me two or three times in a week, constantly urging me when the goods would be available. I kept putting it off on the grounds that it would take time and opportunity for Master Azan to make the amulet plaques, and I didn't want to do her business at all.

During my time in Shenyang, I stayed at my parents' house, eating, drinking and having fun with my friends every day, and the blind date was completely put aside. My parents' house is an old community, nearly 20 years old, and almost all of my neighbors know that I am in the business of Buddhist cards in Thailand, and from time to time I meet some acquaintances who ask me about topics related to inviting Buddha.

There is a small store downstairs, the owner's surname is Qian, is a middle-aged man, and my family is very familiar, usually has two hobbies, one is to speculate on stocks, the other is to play a six-person combination of poker, Shenyang people call it "six punches". This uncle is very good at poker, and his poker friends like to be with him, but he is not so good at stock trading. Although he mixed the stock market earlier than I went to Thailand, and also went through the big bull market in 2006, like most retail investors, he was reluctant to sell during the bull market, and always felt that it could still rise.
