Chapter 127 Good things are happening(1/2)
My Return to Life Text Volume Chapter 127 Beautiful things are happening in 2008 of the lunar calendar.
Fang Nian's last words to Lin Nan were
"There are no obstacles in life that you can't overcome, so you can go to work with peace of mind."
Instead of using 'well', I used 'peace of mind'...
"..."
afternoon.
Fang Nian's family said goodbye to Lin Pingyang and the old man.
It was Fang Zhengguo who was the first to go "Tu tu tu tu~" on his motorcycle.
Fang Nian carried Lin Feng and Fang Xin behind.
Looking in the motorcycle rearview mirror at the old man standing on the ground watching them leave with a smile on his face, Fang Nian curled up his lips.
"Grandma looks like she will live a long life."
Lin Feng agreed: "That's right, your grandma will definitely live a long life."
In fact, Fang Nian didn’t know if his grandmother could live to be a hundred years old.
Before returning to life, the old man was only over eighty years old.
I arrived home in ten minutes, and it was exactly four o'clock in the afternoon.
Rinse your mouth in Fang Nian.
The weather was fine, but there was dust on the dirt floor. Fang Nian didn’t wear a helmet, so he inhaled a little bit.
Not many people in rural areas care about this common thing.
After chatting for a while, Fang Nian talked to Lin Feng, went out through the side door, walked through the cleared space, climbed up the slope protection wall along the stones from behind the house, and finally squatted at a corner, feeling helpless.
Looking across the fields and mountains.
Fang Nian had Lin Nan's story in his mind.
Thinking back to Lin Nan's words, Fang Nian's thoughts slowly drifted away...
Lin Nan finally chose to accept Fang Nian's loan and pay off the credit card bill in one go.
Although, Lin Nan couldn't figure out why Fang Nian came up with a plan to repay the loan in fixed monthly amounts and write an IOU.
Although, Lin Nan didn't understand why he kept talking about debts.
But the first thing he did when he woke up every day was to face the pressure brought by the "huge" debt. After countless days of stress, Lin Nan chose to accept it.
Fixed repayment with no interest is the best solution for Lin Nan.
In a given year, 50,000 yuan can be borrowed or given away.
The reason why I chose such an awkward plan was because of some of Lin Nan's words...
Lin Nan couldn't figure out why he was talking about the debt, but Fang Nian saw it clearly.
Lin Nan still had scruples at first, or maybe he didn't want to talk about such things because of his face.
But after opening the mouth, I felt an unpleasant urge not to vomit.
And Fang Nian always used one or two words to arouse Lin Nan's desire to talk at critical moments.
At first, Lin Nan still had a few good memories mixed in with them, but later, most of them turned into complaints.
"...You don't know how troublesome girls' affairs are."
"Lipstick, perfume, etc. are for makeup, and facial cleansers, essences, etc. are for skin care."
Lin Nan said, counting on his fingers.
"Makeup is makeup, skin care is skin care, they are completely different things."
"I don't know where I heard the news. It said that I had to use big foreign brands. I also told me that I didn't choose those first-tier brands..."
"In short, the average amount spent on those bottles and bottles every month is at least two to three thousand."
"..."
After hearing Lin Nan's complaints, Fang Nian interjected: "Then you two don't have enough money."
"Just give it a try."
Lin Nan was evasive.
"So, the tickets to Happy Valley are too expensive."
"It's mainly because it's not my first time to go. I don't think it's necessary. I'm going home for the Chinese New Year soon. I always have to keep some money with me."
"..."
In the process of Lin Nan's random talk, Fang Nian learned more things.
Let's put it this way.
It can be described in one sentence: Those who are close to ink are black.
Lin Nan didn't have the habit of spending money lavishly, but because he was brought in by his ex-girlfriend, he didn't care much about the amount of one or two thousand.
They rarely think about this "not caring much", which is his monthly salary.
"Sometimes, I want to control it, but she always wants to buy this and that, but most of the time it doesn't look so eye-catching, such as twenty or thirty bottles of nail polish, or a meal that costs more than one hundred yuan.
.”
"..."
There was anxiety and pain in Lin Nan's tone.
"It was fine at first. I paid off my salary and paid off my credit card, and it was enough to pay the rent."
“Later on, I slowly started to be unable to make ends meet.”
"Because it was just nail polish at the beginning, and later it became lipsticks worth two to three hundred dollars, perfumes that cost five to six hundred dollars, and skin care products that cost one to two thousand dollars..."
"..."
Seeing that Lin Nan was almost talking, Fang Nian interrupted: "What did you do after you couldn't make ends meet?"
"I also thought of many ways and took on various part-time jobs."
Lin Nan followed the words and continued, "To tell you the truth, I also tried to write, but I couldn't write it down every time. She was too noisy."
"..."
"In short, I have tried all means, but the debt is getting more and more."
"..."
In addition to gold everywhere in Pengcheng, there are also temptations everywhere.
Lin Nan's example may not have been too much in 2007 or 2008.
But as time goes by, credit cards are issued more, and online payment methods become more diverse, this example becomes a phenomenon.
Because... when you don't use cash, you have a higher experience in consumption, but there is no feeling of distress at all.
Because of this, almost all those born in the 1990s are heavily in debt.
Anyway, I didn’t take any money out of my pocket, so it doesn’t matter...
This is also the biggest reason why Fang Nian finally told Lin Nan to ‘work with peace of mind’.
It's easy to make money honestly, but if you want to work part-time, fix holes, or do this or that, it can easily backfire.
That's what Lin Nan is like.
In his vague ramblings, Fang Nian guessed that some part-time jobs had lost money.
If Fang Nian could describe Lin Nan's experience in one sentence.
That is
The girlfriend was thinking about poetry and the distance, and whether to buy Dior lipstick or Chanel perfume, while he was thinking about how to avoid starving for the next meal.
To put it even more harshly, Lin Nan and his ex-girlfriend were obsessed with pursuing a life that was not theirs...
So Fang Nian chose an awkward plan.
I issued an IOU, cleared Lin Nan's current credit card bill, and asked Lin Nan to pay him back every month, reminding him to go to work with peace of mind.
At least for the time being, Lin Nan will be able to do what he said: there is no obstacle in life that cannot be overcome.
As for whether Lin Nan can go to work peacefully and no longer fall into the consumption trap, etc.
These are not things that happened every year.
Fang Nian never even mentioned asking Lin Nan to cancel his credit card.
