Hu Xueyan, the running street of Kaitai Qianzhuang, went out to ask for an account at the end of the year, met Wang Youling, who was talented in the middle of the family road, and rescued Wang Youling, who jumped into the river and committed suicide, with the help of Qingmei Bamboo Horse Snail.
Later, in order to get Wang Youling to enter Beijing to seek an official position, Hu Xueyan managed to get the dead account in the shop back, and Luo Shi sold himself to Wang Youling to collect money while hiding hu Xueyan.
Hu Xueyan violated the rules of the shop, was expelled from the treasurer, and was later disciplined by his mother's family law. Stimulated by multiple factors, Hu Xueyan ran away from home and finally settled in a brothel and worked as a miscellaneous servant. At this time, Wang Youling successfully sought an official and became the zhejiang grain station. At a banquet, the two met at a brothel.
When Hu Xueyan and his wife Su Juan discussed to collect five hundred taels of silver to give to Wang Youling, Su Juan did not agree, and Hu Xueyan said this:
This is actually the same as doing business and gambling, and I want to take a risk in this matter. In our eight lifetimes, there has not been a single relative or friend who has been an official.
I grew up reading too little, to take a meritorious name is simply a pipe dream, now, in front of me there is such a friend as Wang Youling, only one step away from becoming an official, if I can really help him become a zhi county, a prefect, then I will have a backer in this life.
Logically, this also makes sense. After all, At that time, Hu Xueyan was a person with a family, with an elderly mother on the top and a swaddling child below.
The conditions at home are also very difficult, in addition to running the streets for people, the wife and mother also have to do needlework to supplement the family. The five hundred taels of silver needed by Wang Youling to enter Beijing was not a small amount, which was simply a fantasy for Hu Xueyan's family.
On the other hand, Hu Xueyan and Wang Youling have not known each other for a long time, and the corresponding brotherly feelings between the two are not so deep. And although Wang Youling is only eight buckets high, the reality is that the family is surrounded by disciples, and they are forced by the debt collectors to have no way out, so that the river is cut off by itself.
Under such circumstances, Hu Xueyan also had to persuade his wife to lend him money and tell her that this was also a business. The reason why he did this, in addition to his brotherly feelings with Wang Youling, he valued wang Youling more.
He hoped that after Wang Youling obtained an official position, he would be able to remember his kindness and become his patron. This is Hu Xueyan's investment in Wang Youling, and he hopes to get a corresponding return. It's just that this investment requires a lot of capital, the risk is very large, and the return is far away, but he is Hu Xueyan, he dares to do this, and later the facts have proved that his approach is worth it.
And what I want to say is, if such a thing is put in front of you, do you dare?
I'm sure we've all had similar experiences, and I believe that a lot of people end up prevaricating with all sorts of reasons. Why? Since when have we stopped lending money to others, and why are we reluctant to help those around us?
No matter what purpose Hu Xueyan had and what methods he had used, the result was that he had gathered enough five hundred taels of silver to help Wang Youling. But what about ourselves? On the contrary, no matter what purpose and method others use, in the end there are two words, "no.".
Does this mean that we modern people are not as good as before? As some people say, the world is getting worse and the people's hearts are not ancient. No, we've been cheated too many times.
Once we were also generous and helpful. At that time, we saw that the person who came to borrow money had a sour face, and as a friend, he couldn't bear it, so he borrowed it.
The result is "meat bun beats the dog - there is no return", it does not matter, the first time we treat people as unladylike, a long lesson. But there is a second, a third... Until the end, our kindness was exhausted, exhausted, and we secretly swore in our hearts that we would never lend money to anyone else again.
The price paid by the borrower is too high, and after a long time, he no longer easily shows his goodness; the borrower's sense of morality and guilt is very light, so light that he can abandon his friendship for the sake of profit.
So, despite the money we don't lend easily anymore, who knows if he will become the next old lai. It doesn't matter, we don't care anymore, in short, it is "not borrowed".
