Last year, a junior high school classmate of Xiao Liu called him. The two were very close brothers in junior high school, the kind of friends who went to and from school together, skipped classes together, and got into group fights together.
Later, Xiao Liu went to high school and college, and found a job in a first-tier city to settle down. While his classmates started working everywhere after graduating from junior high school, the relationship between the two gradually faded. Xiao Liu has new classmates and new colleagues, and that junior high school classmate also has his own new circle.
Every year, the two of them send each other blessing messages to greet each other during the Chinese New Year.
That time my classmate called me. Without saying a few words, he said that he wanted to borrow money from Xiao Liu. He said that he was going to open a store and was short of start-up capital, so he asked for 20,000 yuan.
Xiao Liu was too embarrassed to refuse directly, so he roundaboutly said that he was in a difficult situation right now. He had a house loan, a car loan, an elderly person and children to support, and no extra spare money. Finally, his junior high school classmates also expressed understanding, exchanged greetings, and then hung up the phone. . After the phone call from
, a year and a half passed, and the two of them never had any contact again. The friendship that had been nurtured in the three years of junior high school, and the brothers who once thought they were lifelong friends, completely disappeared from each other's world after that phone call.

Maybe that classmate blamed Xiao Liu for not lending money, so he didn’t contact him. At first, Xiao Liu felt sorry for his brother and did not dare to contact him. Later, after he recognized his classmate's face, he stopped contacting him.
Xiao Liu learned from other classmates that that friend called almost everyone to borrow money, not to open a store at all, but to participate in online gambling. Several classmates borrowed money, and the friend disappeared.
Xiao Liu was glad that he did not lend him money, otherwise he would have borrowed money without repaying it.
Before that, he had lent money to friends twice. Each time the agreed repayment time came, the other party was indifferent. He neither paid back the money nor called to explain the situation. In the end, Xiao Liu had to put down his face and took the initiative to call his friend to urge him to pay back the money.
Later, when he met anyone who wanted to borrow money, he would shy away from them. He was really scared.

As can be seen from the borrowing of money from Xiaoliu's junior high school classmate, one must never borrow money from a friend from many years ago, otherwise it will mean breaking up the friendship as soon as you open the mouth.
The two had little contact with each other. The classmate didn't know Xiao Liu's financial situation, so he asked to borrow money, which was obviously malicious. Xiao Liu didn't know the current situation of his classmate, so he couldn't lend money easily.
An opening of the mouth and a refusal will inevitably make the already weak feelings worse, so opening the mouth means breaking up the relationship.
Don't overestimate your relationship with anyone, let alone underestimate the profit-seeking rules of human nature. Be yourself and let others go as they please. Time will settle the most sincere emotions, and wind and rain will test the warmest companionship.
