Actually, I've been experiencing this kind of thing all the time. I have nothing to do, counting my fingers. The money lent to friends and cheated is enough to buy a good car. Many so-called friends have become strangers and even enemies. Recently, something happened to one of my eldest brothers, which actually gave me a new understanding of this matter.
My eldest brother is in business. He has been in business for 20 years and has always had a good reputation. He is definitely a gentleman, and his business has always been good, so he has been helping others. Until two years ago, because of a major decision-making mistake, I was seriously injured and began to have financial difficulties. He has been helping people and began to ask people around him for help frequently.
Because he was helpful before, because his reputation has always been good, and because many people think that he has always been in good shape, he should only encounter temporary difficulties. If you help him now, he will certainly get more rewards in the future, so it is easy to borrow money at first. Unfortunately, this dilemma will not be alleviated for a while. After a year or two, when he spoke again, all he got was prevarication and various excuses.
What's more, two of them have not yet expired, and they have begun to collect debts frequently. In fact, this big brother has borrowed money before, but he hasn't recovered it yet. Every time I persuade him, it is very difficult for you to urge those who owe you, but he always says that he is a friend for many years, and now it is even harder than him, otherwise others would have paid it back.
It is such a kind-hearted big brother who has been driven to the fire recently, because he is a kind-hearted man who has some money in his hand and even helps people in greater need, resulting in a debt due this month not being paid back. He also discussed with that friend, saying that I would pay half in advance, postpone the remaining half for one month and double the interest.
But his friend insisted that he pay back the money on time. In the end, the more he said it, the more ugly it became, the more outrageous it became, and everything that hurt people was said. So it's best not to involve money between friends.
