It’s hard to ask for a loan

 


It’s hard to ask for a loan

 

  When Agudengba, Chu Sanxing and Xiao Siniang were chatting, Xiao Siniang said: I hate those people who borrow money and fail to repay it. I believe these unintentional people will not end well. In fact, sometimes when I calm down, I sympathize with those poor borrowers.

Xiao Siniang said: Money is just money, it is not a benchmark for measuring the emotions between people. Everyone has different attitudes towards money and different strengths, and everyone has different attitudes towards borrowing money. What happened to my friend brother made me particularly sad.

Brother A is a small boss who opened a shoe processing factory. Before the Spring Festival a few years ago, Brother Adi went to the bank to withdraw 200,000 in cash to prepare wages for the workers. As a result, when he was on his way out of the bank, he was robbed of his money bag by a man riding a motorcycle, and all 200,000 yuan was lost in one go.

Due to poor profitability, Brother Adi's factory has been losing money for many years, and he really can't afford another 200,000 yuan. He had no choice but to beg his grandfather and grandma to borrow money.

At first, Brother A was quite optimistic and thought that borrowing 200,000 yuan would not be a problem. He usually has so many friends and they are all very loyal, so it would be no problem to borrow some money.

But it turned out that he was wrong.

As soon as I heard on the phone that I wanted to borrow money, my brother's friends all started complaining about their poverty, saying how miserable they were and how they couldn't lend him money. Some people even questioned whether he was making up a story about his money being robbed.

Those who keep talking about "good brothers, close buddies" have long forgotten the oath of eachother, and each of them tightly holds their money bag and refuses to let go.

During that time, brother Adi couldn't sleep all night long, thinking about where to find the damn 200,000 all night. In the end, I really had no choice, so I found a loan company, mortgaged the house, and borrowed money at a high interest rate.

It is no exaggeration to say that a penny can stump a heroic man. The reason why borrowing money makes people collapse is because lack of money will make one deeply feel what it means to be alone and helpless. On one side, it is the helplessness of being forced to a dead end, and on the other side, the desolation of having no one to help.

As a friend said, 200,000 yuan allowed Brother Adi to see the reality clearly. It turned out that he was so lonely. He seemed to have a large group of friends, but in the end no one was willing to help him.

Xiao Siniang continued to chat with Agudengba and Chu Sanxing about Brother A: Some time ago, Brother A’s mother suddenly suffered from leukemia and needed an operation fee of 80 RMB.

Ten thousand yuan. For Brother A, whose factory has suffered losses for many years and was recently robbed of 200,000 yuan by robbers, the 800,000 yuan surgery fee is simply an astronomical figure.

In order to save his mother's life, brother Adi went everywhere to raise money, but he still couldn't raise enough money despite making hot calls.

When I heard that my brother wanted to borrow money again, some people were evasive and said no, some people were evasive and said they had just borrowed money, and some people just cried out that they were poor and said it was more difficult for them... Even if someone was willing to lend, the amount would not be much.

As the eldest son of the family, Brother Adi looked at his frail mother, old father, and young brother. He really couldn't get enough money to save his mother's life. Finally, while his father was at the hospital, his brother committed suicide by jumping off the building.

Xiao Siniang sighed: Only when a person has no choice but to borrow money from others in a low voice can he truly understand what it means to be unable to do what he wants and what it means to be struggling. The collapse of adults all starts with borrowing money.

Xiao Siniang sang a song "It's Hard to Ask to Borrow Money":

 

In the most difficult moment of your life,

People who are willing to lend you money readily,

Basically, you won’t be able to count with one palm.

This is the conclusion drawn in life.

 

The situation of not being able to borrow money is very dangerous.

The danger lies in borrowing money.

Many friends will look down on you,

Say you still don’t understand the ways of the world.

 

The human heart is far more complex than imagined,

It is human nature to hold people up or down.

When you can't borrow money, your relationship will be damaged.

Everyone knew it well and didn’t want to say more.

 

Asking to borrow money doesn’t matter whether it’s embarrassing or not,

This move itself has become a joke.

If friends come to this point,

It's a lose-lose situation anyway.
