Lingzi called me again. On the phone, she hesitated and said: "An Xin, I need money urgently. Can you lend me another five thousand?"
This is the second time she has borrowed money from me this year. The amount is not much, each time it is five thousand. The problem is that she has not repaid the money she borrowed from me last time, but because of the favor of her classmates , I softened my heart and agreed.
After hanging up the phone, the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong, so I decided to ask Ziyan. Ziyan is a girl in our class who loves to gossip. She knows exactly what industries and positions her classmates will engage in after graduation, how many houses they have at home, what their relationship is like, and even the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
After listening to my narration, Ziyan said: "I am afraid of Lingzi. She has borrowed money everywhere in the past few years, and she has lent me money twice. She has not paid it back for several years. Every time she borrows money, she has no excuse." Same, let alone borrow her now, it's too late to hide from her. "
I asked Zi Yan: "Do you know Lingzi's life after marriage?" Zi Yan spread her hands and said, "This is what surprises me. As the PHS student in our class, I don’t know much about her situation. Every time I ask her, she is vague. I don’t know why?”
I thought for a moment and said, “Well, I’ll make an appointment with Reiko.” We met face to face and said that we would give her money in person, and then we would ask her what kind of difficulties she had encountered. "Zi Yan always liked to inquire about other people's business, so she agreed immediately.
Let me introduce Reiko first. She was in the same dormitory with me in high school. During our senior year of high school, we got very close and had meals together for a year. Reiko comes from an ordinary family, her father is a bus driver and her mother is a housewife.
Reiko looks average, is 16cm tall, and has average grades. She only went to a junior college, where she studied hotel management, and worked as a front desk clerk in a hotel after graduation.
Speaking of Lingzi, I have to mention a boy in our class. His name is Yang Fan. He had a crush on Lingzi back then. Yang Fan had good grades and good conduct. Later, he was admitted to a key university and confessed his love to Reiko in his sophomore year, but Reiko rejected him on the spot.
Reiko is a beauty addict and only likes handsome guys. The boyfriend or husband she is looking for must be handsome, and the height cannot be less than 180cm. These two are hard targets, and everything else is secondary. She said her husband must be handsome. , so that you can have face.
Yang Fan has an average appearance and is only 17cm tall. This obviously does not meet Lingzi's requirements and will not catch Lingzi's eyes at all. Yang Fan pursued Lingzi for a year, but Lingzi remained unmoved. Yang Fan had no choice but to give up. In his junior year, he focused all his energy on studying, and later was admitted to the graduate school of Xi'an Jiaotong University .
Yang Fan’s career path has been smooth since then. He has worked hard and worked hard, and has been promoted all the way. He is now the director of a large pharmaceutical factory in Shanghai with an annual salary of one million. His wife is a high school teacher. They have a son and live a happy life.
We made an appointment with Reiko to meet in a cafe. We haven’t seen each other for several years. Reiko, who used to be so radiant, now has a sallow complexion and her eyes are full of vicissitudes of life. She couldn't stand our questioning and talked about her situation over the years.
Reiko's current husband is her junior high school classmate, and he only has a high school education. This boy was really good-looking back then, and he was also the main player of the school basketball team. There were many fans in the school, and Reiko was one of them.
The boy did not get good grades, and of course he did not go to college. After graduating from high school, he worked in sales in a factory. He was in the same city as Reiko. The two of them connected in the class QQ group (WeChat was not popular back then).
Reiko's hidden feelings resurfaced, and she began to actively pursue boys. The two quickly established a relationship and began living together. It was not until Reiko became pregnant that the two hurriedly held a wedding.
Life is real and trivial. Two years after the marriage, the shortcomings of Reiko's husband were exposed. He has not received higher education and has no skills. He can only do ordinary jobs.
However, he has high ambitions and low abilities, and cannot persist in doing things. He cannot do any job for a long time. Over the years, he has sold second-hand cars, worked in real estate sales, and also sold insurance, but he did not work for long and did not save much money.
Later, he felt that working part-time was not making money, and wanted to be his own boss. He heard others talk about opening a small supermarket to make money, so he was ready to start it as soon as he got excited, but the money in hand was far from enough. He remembered that Reiko was a college student and her friend We all must have money, so we encouraged Reiko to borrow money from her friends.
Reiko had no choice but to shamelessly collect money from everywhere and promised to pay it back soon. Everyone donated their money one after another and collected hundreds of thousands for Reiko. Unexpectedly, the small supermarket closed down after only one year of operation due to poor business. Not only did it make no money, it also lost a lot of money.
After the supermarket closed, Reiko's husband had to go out to look for a job. Finally, he found a job, but he felt that the job was too tiring and had no technical content, so he resigned after less than a year.
More than two years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Reiko's classmates have begun to ask her for money, but where does Reiko have money? She has to work two jobs alone to support the whole family.
Reiko's mother couldn't bear to see her daughter suffer, so she gave Reiko's husband 150,000 yuan of her pension money and asked them to pay back the money first to tide them over.
Reiko’s husband is good-looking but has no brains and is soft-spoken. He turns around and invests the money in projects with others, hoping to make a fortune, but what’s the result? He gained nothing and lost everything.
Reiko had a big quarrel with her husband. Unexpectedly, Reiko’s husband didn’t feel that he was wrong at all, but just said that he was unlucky. Reiko talked too much, so he simply did nothing and lay at home playing games. This rest lasted for several years.
Friends came to ask for debts one after another. Reiko would delay as long as she could, and hide away when pressed. Sometimes she would be scolded in front of the door, which made Reiko really embarrassed.
Last time, her husband hit someone on his motorcycle and paid him 5,000 in medical expenses. She couldn't borrow the money, so she had to come to me. This time it was because her child was sick and she had no money for medical treatment, so she came to me shamelessly.
Now I finally understand. It turns out that Reiko is not kind to others.
Reiko said: "I have also thought about separation, but I am worried about the impact on my daughter, so I can only make do with it. In the past, I only needed to choose a handsome man. Now that I am middle-aged, my husband's hair is going bald and he has gained weight. And I’m lazy. I lie at home playing games every day and don’t even have a job. What am I trying to do for him?
“If I had chosen Yang Fan back then, based on his ability, I would definitely be much better off than I am now. , It’s a pity that I was ignorant back then. "
Yes, the life Lingzi is living now is all paying for the wrong choices she made when she was young. However, Lingzi only pays attention to appearance and does not pay any attention to character and ability. Can she be worthy of Yang Fan?
Friend What do you think?
