Chapter 29 Listen to what rich people say first (2)

Maomei added: "I can imagine that when you rushed to the sesame seeds in a hurry, you might have seen watermelons beside you, but because you want to survive, you can only pick up the sesame seeds that are effortless." , Watching the watermelon being carried away by others. Do you have this kind of experience? More than enough heart but not enough strength?"

I nodded.

Maomei laughed, and she said, "That's someone else's watermelon. Now you have to build up your strength. Once you have strength, it's your watermelon. At least you can get a piece of it."

I nod again.I know what Maomei means by cultivating strength.Cultivating strength is accumulating capital.How to accumulate capital?My understanding is to find a path that suits you and keep walking along this path.No matter whether this path is right or wrong, we must stick to it.Even if it is a wrong path, as long as you persist, you will go in the right direction.

There are many such examples in life.Many small shops looked inconspicuous at first, and the business was poor, but he persisted and gradually gained a firm foothold in the industry.In a few years, there have been earth-shaking changes.

I felt that my mind was wandering, and I hurriedly adjusted my thoughts, returned to reality, and continued to listen to Maomei.

It is a pleasure to talk with Maomei. She can always extract some shining things from life, and combine them with reality, and analyze them well.

In front of Maomei, I am like a primary school student, and Maomei seems to be willing to play the role of a preacher.

It was almost 12 o'clock at night when we parted ways with Maomei.

Mao Mei said, "I'll see you off, it's not easy to take a car right now."

I said, "No, I'll just take a taxi and go back."

I wanted to wait for Maomei to leave, and then go to the street to take the night bus home, but a taxi came directly to wait for the passengers, so I had to say goodbye to Maomei and get in the taxi.After walking less than three kilometers, I saw that the meter was about to skip characters, so I stopped immediately, paid 6 yuan for the fare, got off and waited for the bus on the side of the road.

When I got home, my son was already asleep, and Zhou Yuan was watching TV in the living room alone.Seeing me enter the room, Zhou Yuan sullenly said, "What are you doing? You came back so late?"

It suddenly occurred to me that I promised to accompany Zhou Yuan to the mall this evening to buy a piece of clothing for my mother-in-law as a gift.Mother-in-law celebrates her birthday tomorrow and turns 60.

I hurriedly said: "Talk about it with a friend and forget about it."

Zhou Yuan sneered and said, "I still don't know what's on your mind?"

I said, "What's on my mind? It's really about talking about things."

Zhou Yuan sneered again, and said, "It's fine if you're afraid of spending money, don't always use talking about things as an excuse."

To be honest, I was at fault for this matter, but Zhou Yuan's two sneers made me feel disgusted, so I said angrily: "Okay, I'll give you the money now, lest you say I'm afraid of money." money."

I was dumbfounded when I touched the wallet. There was only 13 yuan in the wallet.It turned out that there was a total of 20 yuan in the bag. I took a taxi for 6 yuan and took a bus for 1 yuan.

Seeing me standing there motionless, Zhou Yuan sneered again.

I said awkwardly: "I forgot to take the money from my brother, how about I give it to you tomorrow?"

This sentence aroused Zhou Yuan's unknown anger. She threw the remote control board in her hand and said, "Which one of our family members have you ever cared about? The wife manages other people's husband's money, and my husband's The money is in the hands of my husband’s younger brother. I can get half of your younger brother’s treatment, and I’m content. It’s not good for me to marry, but I have to marry you? It’s okay to want anything, and I pretend to talk about things outside all day long, which seems like I look so busy. Look at my cousins, who doesn’t marry better than me? I live in a good house and drive a good car. What do you have? At the beginning, I wanted to be nice to you, but I didn’t expect that you only had you in my eyes My own family. Our family is not human? I don’t care about anything, selfish things.”

This rebuke hits the nail on the head, every sentence is like a knife.I was at a loss.

Zhou Yuan ignored her and continued to criticize me and compare me with her cousins.

Everything she said was true, but the words dripped like salt water on my wounds.

A wave of anger rose in my heart, and I wanted to explode, but I didn't know how to express it.

At the end, I sighed and said, "If you really regret marrying me, you can remarry while you are still young."

Zhou Yuan yelled: "Do you think I can't get married? I will marry you tomorrow."

I said, "If you really want to remarry, then go ahead and do so."

This is the first time that Zhou Yuan and I have mentioned divorce in a quarrel since we were married for several years.

Frankly speaking, Zhou Yuan is a pretty good woman.I have been down and out for so many years, except for complaining at ordinary times, she didn't dislike me too much.Even when I didn't go home for several months, she never expressed her abandonment of marriage.Today is her mother's birthday, which is a big event in her eyes, but I neglected it, and she is so angry.

I understand her.However, her words show that she has been extremely disappointed in me, and she doesn't look down on me at all.In this case, do I still need to rely on her?

So, get a divorce.

I walked into the back room, packed a few pieces of clothing, kissed my sleeping son, opened the door and walked out without looking back.

The moment I closed the door, I saw my father-in-law stuck his head out of his room, looking out blankly.

The wind in early spring is still icy cold. I walked on the street, and my mind became clearer.

I don't regret my decision just now, on the contrary, there is a sense of relief.Just like a long-distance trekker with a backpack, the things in the bag are important, but at the moment of giving up, it is still easy.

It was late at night, and I didn't want to disturb my brother, but I didn't have money to stay in a hotel.After thinking for a long time, I decided to go to the office to make do with the night.

Our office is in a residential building, and we can enter at night.

I didn't take a car and walked along the road towards the office.The road has long lost the hustle and bustle of the day, leaving me with a deep silence.

My mind was very active, and the past kept coming.It's been almost seven years since we met Zhou Yuan, from meeting to getting married, to tonight.Could it be that the mystery of the seven-year itch really came true?No, it has nothing to do with the seven-year itch, it has something to do with being down and out.

It's hard for a down-and-out man to have a happy marriage. The calm on the surface can't hide the turbulent waves inside.What should go, let it go, no big deal, come and go naked without any worries.

Men have to do business.No career, nothing!Even if you have it, you don't deserve to enjoy it; even if you enjoy it, you don't enjoy it calmly.Why bother?

Forget it, don't think about it, think about your future.

The future, the future is still a mystery.

In my current situation, although I can earn a living, I am still in danger.

All the products I sell are purchased from the market and then sold to customers.There is no difference between my purchase price and the price that customers go to the market to buy.And the reason why I can still earn some money is that I took advantage of the information gap between the market and the construction site, diligently ran errands, and earned a little hard money.

How long can you earn this kind of money?
It's hard to say, now that the degree of informatization is getting higher and higher, an ant can find the price on the Internet, not to mention that the things I sell are all general products, and the prices are everywhere.As long as I spend a little more energy and make a few more phone calls, I can figure out my purchase price clearly.

If someone can buy something for 10 yuan, if I want to sell it for 12 yuan, Lei Feng may not even be able to do it.

Therefore, I feel more and more that the current situation can't last for too long, and I have to find a way quickly, otherwise I won't even earn my hard-earned money by then.

However, just because I can realize the difficulties in the future does not mean that I can find a solution to them.

Everyone has a degree of foresight, but most of us cannot avoid the difficulties that are inevitable.

As Maomei said, I am working hard now, if one day I get tired, I will give up, and I will eventually let myself fall down.

So, what should we do?

Products, specialized and refined.This is the most accurate message that Maomei conveyed to me.

Thinking wildly in my head like this, I entered the office.Looking at the time, it was already four o'clock in the morning.Tired and sleepy, and a little cold.I put on all the clothes I packed up from Zhou Yuan's house and leaned on the chair to sleep.

The sun will continue to rise tomorrow and the world will not change.Only those who want to change change.
