Two people started with an accident, followed by a sigh, and then helplessness: "We were just here to collect a debt, how did it end up with someone getting hurt? We understand your situation, you can handle it yourself, we'll go back and explain."
When I went back to reunite with my wife and child, holding my bloody, half-missing ear, the first thing my wife said was: "If you don't have money, why did you come back?"
The language and the outside are both as cold as -30 degrees Celsius!

At that time, I still had a car for transportation, the used Hyundai car, and I drove out.
I parked the car on a mountain road in the western outskirts of Jiangcheng. After finishing a cigarette, as long as I start the engine and turn the steering wheel, the car will plunge down and become a pile of scrap metal, and I will become a pile of flesh! No matter how cold the weather is or how dark the road is, I am no longer afraid!
In the distance, there are countless lights and the sound of firecrackers, but here I only feel despair and desolation.
I released the handbrake, started the engine, and just as I was about to release the clutch and step on the gas, the phone on the passenger seat rang.
It's from the child.
I haven't given up on myself, life is still difficult.
I use 7 yuan to cover three meals a day: steamed buns + pickled vegetables from the market + hot water. If I ever buy a bowl of white elephant bone noodles, it would definitely count as an improvement in life. Then I rack my brains to find ways to make money and borrow money!
During the epidemic, I volunteered and earned 3000 yuan a month, but it couldn't solve my fundamental problem. I borrowed my ex-girlfriend's car to contact clients with a shameless face. People who know my situation are afraid of me, so I pretend not to know them. I don't believe that in my forties, I will just die like this. There's a little improvement, but the income is far from enough to cover nearly a million yuan in debt. I dare not answer most of the calls, they are all asking for money. Even if I answer, I have no money to give them, so what's the point of answering.
College classmates are having another gathering in Jiangcheng. In the past, I used to organize it, but now I found out about it in someone else's social media post.
My son said, "Dad, are you coming back? Mom wants me to move in with her to live with an uncle."
What can I do? What should I do?
I asked my college roommate Old Jiao to lend me 500 yuan. Back then, he was in a desperate situation in Jiangcheng, so I let him stay in a room in my company, provided him with meals, and gave him money. When his child was hospitalized, I even gave him 40,000 yuan. Although I am now "notoriously poor," no matter how bad things are, shouldn't we still talk about "repaying kindness with gratitude"?
But I underestimated the despicability of human nature.
"Old Hu, you're asking to borrow 500 yuan now? How have you been surviving these years? With your abilities, you used to live a luxurious life, and now you're struggling to get by?"
I blushed and said, "The epidemic..."
"Who hasn't come through the epidemic? I don't see everyone acting like you!"
" Old Jiao, my situation is right here. Can you help me out with 500 yuan?" I tore off my face and trampled it underfoot.
"If you were to borrow thirty or fifty thousand, I would still think you have the courage and might make a comeback. But borrowing 500 makes me worried. I'm afraid I'd be throwing good money after bad. Go ask someone else."
You're a jerk!
At this moment, human nature is shamelessly and disgustingly naked.
This is the brother who used to sleep on the bunk above me, the brother I sincerely helped and supported. Biao, who is far away in Mingyang, quietly transferred 8000 yuan to me: "Use it first, I'll sell the grain at home in a few days!" he said. And I know, he just bought a house, his father has recently been seriously ill, and the only source of income for his family is the meager earnings from him and his wife's work and a few acres of land. Moreover, the price of a pound of wheat can't even buy a bottle of Nongfu Spring water. Back then, when Biao borrowed money from me, I gave it to him with a condescending and disdainful attitude, and I can't remember if I ever gave him the cold shoulder.
In my situation, there are many " Old Jiao " and few "Biao Ge".

On short video platforms, "drama promotion" is very popular. A live streaming teacher said she earns 10,000 a week! I was passionate and eager. I listened to the live stream to learn editing day and night, and followed the teacher's advice to grit my teeth and buy the membership for related tools, costing a few hundred yuan. It was a significant investment for me at the time, but I felt it was worth it.
I learned how to "remove duplicates" in videos, and I learned about "original content." I simultaneously publish my work on WeChat Video Account, Kwai, and Douyin. I dream of making money quickly within two weeks or a month, just like the teachers say in their lectures. But my account violated the rules and got suspended! Throughout the process, there were not only pitfalls but also unexpected setbacks, but they never mentioned them!
Another live lesson, talking about promoting music, the teacher said that the tuition fee is 1658, guaranteed that you will get your investment back within a month and also ensure that your income will exceed 10,000+, and confidently claimed to be a strategic partner of certain platforms, saying that as long as you pay, they will sign a contract.
I begged my wife for it, asked my ex-girlfriend for help, just paid the fee, mom's... the student group was dissolved directly, teacher, assistant, and class leader all disappeared into thin air.
I couldn't even cry about it, those people are too shameless. They said "we let mom be proud in front of her husband" "let retired grandpa and grandma relive their youth again" "let debt holders get ashore immediately" "let wage-earners achieve financial freedom"!
Actually, they buried me even deeper!
I listened to a lesson on earning commission by promoting movie tickets through film clips. When it came time to pay, I backed out and captured the QR code that flashed by in the video. It's just a small program, and by installing it, I can promote movie tickets through short video platforms.
This is what they call "authorization" that ordinary people can't get.
I am overjoyed.
I actually succeeded in operating, and the video clips I released were successfully mounted on the mini program.
However, the traffic is not good, and the released videos often involve copyright infringement and the anchor points are removed.
In the end, I summarized an experience: live streaming, promoting products, promoting dramas, selling tickets through short video platforms is indeed feasible, but the premise is that you have to master the flow password. Otherwise, you might as well go to bed early! Since the company went downhill, I have persisted in buying lottery tickets, one ticket per draw, with random numbers. The highest winning record is 20 yuan. Now, I feel that I cannot deny that I am truly useless!
