Originality is not easy, please do not copy.

My name is Chen Gui, I am 42 years old, and I have worked for most of my life and am now just a manager of a company.
Just the day before national day, I blocked my best brother from college. It's not that I forgot our friendship, but I can't stand what he did. But after my wife knew about this, she said that I was cold-blooded, was it really me who did something wrong?
Here's the thing, when I was in college, I had a very good brother named Appin. He is not my relative, but he is more like my relative. He has always had a very business mind, and when he graduated from college, he saved 2,000 yuan and said he wanted to go to Guangzhou to develop.
Although I don't know much about Guangzhou, I still support his dream. He also gave him all his little savings to start a business.
02
In the years after graduation, that was the focus of our classmates' reunions. He often says that he has succeeded in starting his business and is now the big boss of several companies.
After the class reunion that day, he secretly pulled me aside. He said that his business in Guangzhou was short of someone to help take care of it, and he trusted me, so he wanted me to assist him.
At this time, I felt that he was really thinking about me, because I was working in a job that was not very well paid. My girlfriend also dislikes me for not having money to argue with me every day. So when Appin said it, I was really moved.
But Ah Ping also said that if he wanted me to take care of his business, he would have to pay a deposit of 50,000 yuan first.
50,000 yuan was a sky-high number for me at the time, so I hesitated for two days and still refused.
03
I thought I had missed this opportunity to make money in vain, but later when I chatted with other classmates, they also said that Ah Ping had mentioned it to them.
Ah Ping promised them that as long as he paid a deposit of 50,000 yuan, he would be able to take over half of his company's business.
After careful consideration, we felt that Appin might be doing something deceitful now. They knew he had the best relationship with me in college, so they reminded me not to be fooled.
Later, when I heard that Appin had gone to jail for fraud, I was glad I didn't choose to work with him. At that time, I secretly swore that I would never contact him again.
I have always felt a pity about his things, when he was in college, his mind was very smart, how can he do this kind of thing without thinking about it now.

The next time I heard from him, it was my classmates who said that he now had a disease that was difficult to cure, and that he had not yet married his wife in his 40s because he had gone to prison.
I still couldn't resist calling him and asking him out to meet him. He was much thinner than before, and he had no spirit at all. He pulled out his medical records and talked about what had happened since he got out of prison.
He said that he had done something unforgivable because he was young, but he was awake now. Just as he was trying to live, he found himself suffering from a disease that was difficult to cure.
When people reach middle age, the most unbearable thing is to watch their former friends end up in such a situation. So I didn't hesitate to give him 5,000 bucks, and I told him that life went on and never give up.
05
Later, he borrowed more than 20,000 yuan from me one after another, and he never returned the money to me, knowing that I could not refuse someone as sick as him.
If I hadn't discovered the truth, maybe I would have been kept in the dark.
On that day, the company was built, and we came to a farmhouse in the countryside, planning to go back after a meal. When I went to untie his hands, I saw him gambling with a group of people.
Maybe something really has a definite number, it's true that he's sick, but it's also true that he gambled with the money I borrowed.
I looked at the door for a while, and none of them noticed me. I just feel particularly sad, I treat my good brother with sincerity, why should he deceive me again and again?
06
Two days later he called and said he was now in the hospital waiting for money to treat his illness. Looking back at the scene where I saw him gambling at the farm, I couldn't believe this man anymore.
So after a few perfunctory remarks, I hung up the phone, thought about it for a while, and then I decided to block his WeChat. For such people who repeatedly betray brotherhood and do not take your intentions seriously at all, there is no need to continue to be friends.
I am a middle-aged man, and now it is the most difficult time in my life. If I don't become general manager next year, there will be a bunch of people who will take my place. My children are now spending money everywhere in school, so why should I let such a person consume my money?
Unexpectedly, after my wife knew that I had blocked him, she blamed me for being too cold. She felt that everyone was already sick and needed to help if they had difficulties.
I really don't know how to tell my wife about these things, alas.
