It is the objective law of this world to prosper and then decline, or whether it will prosper and prosper.
If you want to violate this, even "Destiny", a guy who loves to go against people, can't do it. Otherwise, what people say, there is always hope in life.
In fact, it is just like what Hong Yanwu said to comfort the "general" mother, how difficult things are, as long as you overcome this hurdle, it will be different.
The arrival of Hong Yanwu and "Xiao Baizi" was like a key turning point, bringing good luck to the Jiang family and making the "general"'s experience gradually improve.
On October 12, "Sanjizi" and "Xiapaizi" came to the door one after another. The two people had almost the same purpose, both of which were to apologize for the trouble caused by relatives coming to the door.
Hong Yanwu's "education" had immediate results, and the "general" now also knew not to be a bad guy, but to treat him differently.
As for the "shrimp crawler", I kicked him away without even letting him enter the house. However, he is quite tolerant of the "Three Scoundrels".
Especially when he knew that "Sanjizi"'s family had been hiding the fact that he had visited the house, and "Sanjizi" knew about it from the relatives who had received the money, he could understand even more. The difficulties of "Three Advocates".
For this reason, he kept praising "Three Fighting Sons" to Hong Yanwu, explaining the ins and outs, saying that among so many "Haichangzi", this boy is the one who values friendship.
"Sanjizi" really deserves these words, because he personally gave back the money that his relatives took away yesterday.
He said he regretted not listening to his family members and should have returned the money to these relatives himself. If he can take more responsibility, he won't bring trouble to his elder brother. He can't control others, but he has figured out that he has to take care of the things he promised others, and he can't rely on anyone.
Hong Yanwu couldn't help but feel deeply pleased for the "general". After all, there was such a true brother who had passed the test of money. So the three brothers and "Xiaobaizi" drank happily again.
On Sunday, October 14th, Manager Xie from "Shengli Guest House" came to visit unexpectedly.
I bet he and the traffic brigade captain felt more and more uncomfortable after being asked by the "general" to pay off their debts.
They knew what the sea cucumber market was like outside, and the "general" used his watch to pay off his debts, so they knew at a glance that they were in serious trouble.
So the two of them drank together several times during this period, and calculated that the value of the watch before and after was 40 yuan, which was probably less than 6,000 yuan. I feel so sorry for my friend. There is no such way to take advantage.
In the end, it was agreed that each of them would return five watches, and Manager Xie sent them back to the "general" that day.
Although several of these ten watches are from Bincheng's local "Pearl" brand, they are relatively low-value among this batch of watches.
But think about it from another perspective, it is already commendable that people who are just social friends who are not relatives can take the initiative to spit out the meat that has been put into their mouths.
Of course the "general" was moved and surprised.
To put it bluntly, what about his own brothers? In some families, this is not possible between flesh and blood relatives.
What’s interesting is that there was a misunderstanding this time.
It turns out that when Manager Xie came, Hong Yanwu took "Xiao Baizi" to the street. When they came back, the two of them startled Manager Xie as soon as they walked in the door.
Manager Xie didn't expect to see Hong Yanwu and "Xiao Baizi" here. He touched the back of his head and said, "You won't also lose money, right? It doesn't matter, stay with us in 'Shengli' and we won't accept you." I'll take care of the rent and the canteen. If you need to pay for the invoices, I'll try my best to find a solution..."
Hong Yanwu was amused by Manager Xie's self-righteousness on the spot and burst into laughter.
"Lao Xie, I really have you. It's really interesting. In fact, I just came here. I stayed here for the past two days to make some arrangements with the 'general'. I will go to find you in two days. But today, Just saying this to you, I have to treat you well..."
In short, this unexpected friendship undoubtedly gave the "general" another encouragement and gratification, and restored a lot of confidence in interpersonal communication.
As for "Hai Bangzi", this is the case.
After "Sanjizi" returned on the 12th, through him, others gradually knew that Hong Yanwu and "Xiaobaizi" were coming.
Although they were embarrassed, "Baxi", "Zi", "Sea Hare" and "Sea Dog" discussed it for a while, and still went to the city together to visit, hoping to show their friendship as landlords.
Perhaps they thought this would not be too embarrassing, thinking that Hong Yanwu and the generous "general" would not refute the face of so many people.
But they really didn't expect that he would poke them so hard.
When they met, Hong Yanwu actually said, "If there is no love, there is no need to drink wine."
"General" also said, "Now that Xiao Wu has sent money, I have money to compensate you. In three days, we can all get together to settle the accounts."
Just leave them alone.
The few of us felt uncomfortable when we went back. We drank wine, chatted from beginning to end, and as soon as we thought about it, we began to think that we were not good.
I reflected for a night and then came back the next day, but I didn't expect that Hong Yanwu, "Xiao Baizi" and "General" were all gone. Han Ying told them that these three people went to see the "Old Saury".
This made several "sea bumpers" disappointed again. After thinking about it again and again, they became blushing and timid, and it was difficult for them to have the courage to follow the "Clam Village".
It should be said that now that the matter has reached this point, it will be difficult to make up for the cracks in everyone's relationship. No matter how late the "sea bumpers" regretted it, it was impossible for the heartbroken "general" to pretend that this incident had never happened.
The friendship that has shared joys and sorrows for nearly ten years is about to be destroyed in one moment. This is a loss for everyone and an unspeakable regret.
Fortunately, the "general" has a good wife, and the "sea bumpers" have a good sister-in-law.
Han Ying comes from a cadre family. She reads a lot, is good at thinking, and understands the truth. She was once a princess who was active and dazzling in the sun, and she was also an orphan who lived in darkness and suffered from torture and suffering.
This means that she has fully experienced the ups and downs of human relationships and the ups and downs of the world, and can understand and be considerate of almost all people in different situations. She understood the pain of her husband's grief for his brother. We also know how difficult it is for people to grasp themselves in the face of utilitarianism.
Therefore, although she also resented the "sea bumpers", she also felt that they were pitiful and pathetic. The way the "sea bumpers" returned with regret and disappointment naturally aroused her sympathy.
So after "General" and Hong Yanwu came back from "Clam Village", she couldn't help but bring up the past events of "touching the sea" that "General" had told her, and deliberately talked about how they used to be together. To survive, to spend those poor but happy times together.
While the "general" couldn't help but immerse himself in the nostalgia of the past, he remembered the past when everyone basked naked in the sun, stood on the rocks to pee, sang loudly, chatted about women, and pretended to be evil to scare the children on the beach. Han Ying sincerely advised him.
What she means is that since there have been so many good things in the past, they have tolerated each other so much. Why can't we be more generous this time? After all, everyone is confused sometimes, even the "general" himself is no exception. According to her, men are actually children who cannot grow up. Since they are children, it is impossible not to make mistakes. You should forgive!
As soon as these words were said, not only the "general" was shaken, but even Hong Yanwu was deeply touched and ashamed.
He said, "My sister-in-law is really in a different realm. Comparing me with her, I seem stingy. I understand what you mean. Indeed, revenge cannot solve all problems. Sometimes this kind of calculation is not only It doesn't help, but makes everyone suffer. This is mainly because the other person is someone you care about. In this case, I won't insist on it. It's up to you, General. How can I make you feel comfortable? You know best how deep the relationship between you two has been for so many years."
As luck would have it, just when the "general" was hesitating and thinking, "Sanjizi" came to visit again.
This time he brought another sum of money and told the "general" in a very embarrassed manner that it was the money taken by "Xiapaizi"'s relatives. Send the money back.
"Xiaipizi" also said that he knew that his eldest brother didn't want to see him, and he had no shame in coming again. But he knew he was wrong, so he gave up all the money he invested in the sea cucumber. This is not to ask the eldest brother to forgive him, I just hope that it can help the eldest brother lighten the burden so that he can feel better...
This time, the "general" is really no longer calm. He didn't expect that "Xiaozizi" who always cared about money the most would be willing to give up such a large sum of money. Such a huge contrast between before and after is enough to show that he does have a heart of repentance.
So he relented, and after some discussion with Hong Yanwu, he told "Sanjizi" that he must bring "Xiaipizi" when everyone got together again.
