Some people say that the more a person lacks something, the more he likes to show off something.
That's true. Liu Gang (pseudonym) is a poor and habitual person from childhood, his family is in the countryside, his parents are farmers with their feet on the loess soil and their backs to the sky, they have worked hard all their lives, and they have not stepped out of the yellow land.
But Liu Gang was more contentious, worked hard when he went to school, and was admitted to key colleges and universities. He has seen the prosperity of the big city, and when he graduated, he chose to stay in the city.
A poor boy who has only been in the workplace for a few years, but has won the favor of urban women, Li Mei (pseudonym) did not dislike Liu Gang's rural origin, and he became a boyfriend and girlfriend.
Although Li Mei's parents strongly opposed it, they could not resist her liking. Fortunately, although Liu Gang was born poor, his mouth was very sweet, and he took gifts to his future parents-in-law's house on the weekend, and they tacitly agreed to the relationship between the two.
Working in a big city, and marrying an only daughter in the city, not only did not spend money when getting married, but his parents-in-law also accompanied the marriage room, and Liu Gang's life was reversed after graduation, becoming the envy of many people.
In the face of everything he has, Liu Gang swore to his daughter-in-law: "I will redouble my efforts to make you live a happier life." ”
Liu Gang's words are not empty, at the beginning of the year, his salary was transferred to an annual salary of 500,000 yuan, which is indeed a lot among his peers.
However, before preparing to return to her hometown for the New Year, Li Mei repeatedly told Liu Gang to "not show off your wealth, but keep a low profile." But he said yes, and as soon as he arrived at home, he forgot all about it.
He excitedly told his parents that his annual income was 500,000 yuan, and made a promise to build them a small two-story building. When the parents saw that their eldest son was angry, they immediately called and invited their relatives and friends to come to the house to reunite.
Liu Gang's younger brother was about to enter the university, and his parents said: "You are out of work, and your brother's tuition and living expenses will be handed over to you in the future." The younger brother quickly answered, "My brother will not ignore me." ”
Relatives and friends came to Liu Gang's house and listened to him talk about his life in the city, the big house he lived in, and he drove a private car to commute to work... It's all a look of envy.
Next, there are people who open their mouths to ask Liu Gang to help introduce jobs, there are people who want Liu Gang to borrow money to start a business, and there are wives who lack money to build a house...
When Liu Gang's box was opened, his daughter-in-law Li Mei did not have time to stop it, and he had already cashed out all the empty checks.
Probably because the wine was strong, Li Mei was about to interrupt him, but he threw her hand and said, "Go and go, women go to the kitchen to stay." ”
Looking at Liu Gang, who was full of wine and was there to socialize with relatives and friends, Li Mei's heart suddenly cooled to the freezing point.
Liu Gang's annual salary of 500,000 yuan has only just been proposed, and even the temperature of the 500,000 yuan has not yet been touched, and the money he promised to lend out has already exceeded this figure.
She understands that a poor man wants to earn his face in front of his relatives, but they can have today's life, not all by their own income, most of them are supported by their parents.
Among the same age, those who have not bought a house abound, and those who buy a house are saddled with mortgages and want to have a baby. However, Liu Gang got all this effortlessly, but it became the capital he used to show off.
Li Mei was very angry when she thought about it, and when Li Gang woke up drunk the next day and remembered the promise he had made to his relatives and friends yesterday, he was dumbfounded.
In the New Year, most people choose to return to their hometowns to reunite with their relatives.
Everyone sat around and talked about the experience of this year, listened to whose income has increased, whose life is better, and brought more good news to relatives.
But even close relatives together, try not to make their true income as clear as possible. Because not all relatives have the same heart as you.
You are poor and may be looked down upon by others. If you have money, others may find ways to get benefits from you.
Some people may really want to ask for help because of a momentary difficulty, and it is enough to stretch out within their ability.
Some people may be rushing to your money, and you are vain and snake-like.
Liu Gang showed off his wealth in front of his relatives because he did not know the importance, and as a result, he pushed himself into a very embarrassing situation.
He still lives in the house given by his in-laws, and has not yet given it back, but he promises to tear down the house where his parents live well and build a two-storey small Western-style building, and more importantly, he does not have money.
Then he took the cost of raising his brother to go to college for his parents, and took over hundreds of thousands of loans from relatives and friends, and where did he take this money?
Before drinking, he was still a rich man with millions of assets, and after he was drunk, he had to take a debt from the sky for his show off his wealth.
It can only be said that Liu Gang can't control his mouth and provokes himself for no reason. In the future, if he refuses to borrow money from his relatives and friends to help, I am afraid that his face will not be put away.
Man, learn to keep a low profile, it's necessary.
There is no need to publicize that there is really money, after all, when it comes to money, everyone is very sensitive.
You don't have money, and others look down on you. But when you have money, you may attract envy and jealousy, because not everyone likes you and expects you to live better than him.
In particular, some people know that you can make money, but everything will find you, and if you don't agree, you will offend them and bring some senseless disasters to yourself.
As the saying goes, money is not exposed, no matter how much money is, it really can't be all displayed. How much you earn, you have a number in your heart, there is no need to spread the world.
Others do not know your details, naturally will not open their mouths to find you any trouble, nor will they bring contradictions to your family.
Come to think of it, which of the faces you get from showing off is more important than the benefits you actually have?
END.
