Debt free

 

Borrowing money, borrowing money, borrowing money, the poor old man struggled in the fields all his life. His wife died early and he could only stay with his daughter. It was the first time for a man to get married, and for a girl to get married, in order to allow her daughter to start a family, the poor old man borrowed money from the landlord.

People eat all kinds of grains, and in their long and short life, they cannot avoid the emotions and desires, as well as the misfortunes and blessings that come and go. It is inevitable for everyone to have a bad year or encounter a sudden change and need money urgently. There are many examples of "a penny can stump a hero". In this special situation, many people choose to borrow money to meet emergencies and return it afterwards to preserve their temporary dignity.

Xiao Siniang told Agudengba and Chu Sanxing a story about the debt of a poor old man and a landlord:

The poor old man borrowed money from the landlord to consummate his daughter's marriage. This cannot be considered a mistake.

"It is natural to pay back debts" and "it is easy to borrow and repay, and it is not difficult to borrow again" have long been established as the only rules among the people.

The dilemma faced by the poor old man is not simply "repaying debts", but the burden of "paying back more debts". But when he borrowed money, he signed a black and white contract with the landlord, which marked the beginning of his tragic life.

The landlord lent money to the poor old man. Of course, he was not showing mercy. He just wanted to gain profits from the loan. On the surface, the rich are showing compassion and generously reaching out to help, but behind the scenes, they are taking advantage of the situation and forcing the poor to die.

Of course, the poor old man borrowed money not to repay his debts. He believed that he would be able to repay his debts by working extra hard. But in the days when harvests are determined by God, if you encounter uncontrollable natural factors such as poor harvests, floods and locust plagues, you will face difficulties in maintaining survival, let alone repaying exponentially increasing debts. In the years when "the north wind blows and snowflakes float", the food harvest is poor, and the poor old man cannot repay his debt to the landlord. Of course, failure to repay debts is not intentional, it’s just that you have more than enough intentions but not enough energy.

When the landlord lent money to the poor old man, he didn't even consider what he would do if something unexpected happened and the poor old man had no money to pay back. Only when you lend it out do you realize that it is easy to borrow money but difficult to ask for money.

When the landlord failed to collect the debt, he threatened the poor old man to use his daughter to pay off the debt. The poor old man was forced to drink salt brine to commit suicide, the daughter was forced to live in the mountains, her black hair turned white, the father and daughter were separated, and the family was ruined.

This story seems far away, but in fact it is getting crazier today. What is the difference between those who have countless mortgages and car loans and that poor old man who has difficulty repaying his debts? What's the difference between the powerful people who press for debt and the landlords?

It can be said:

Those who do good will suffer poverty and their life will be shortened.

Those who do evil will enjoy noble blessings and a longer life.

Borrowing money leads to collapse. In the final analysis, it is because the evil of human nature can easily be revealed under the magic mirror of money. Regardless of whether you are borrowing or being borrowed, without exception, there is always the risk of being defeated by the evil of human nature.

Xiao Siniang sang a "Debt Collection Song" with resentment:

 

 

The cruel truth is heartbreaking,

When is the end of exploitation and oppression?

A miserable life in exchange for reflection,

Who can have the power to recover?

 

Poor man who has no way out,

There is no hope for livelihood.

The rich man commits violence in his drunken dreams,

The poor dream of being insulted.

 

Remember to be debt-free and clear.

Blood debts must be repaid with blood.

There will be retribution for all the evildoers in the world.

There is a time for revenge.
