Another time, when the swimming pool was over, when Xuan Ye and Hong Yanwu were waiting for other people to go to the toilet, someone lost their wallet again.
Seeing the anxious and annoyed look on the man's face, Xuan Ye asked abruptly.
"Hong Yanwu, you said that you were a game owner in the past, so please tell me honestly, have you ever stolen other people's wallets in the past?"
"Me? No, I haven't done it."
"I don't believe you can get our things back with just one sentence. Almost all thieves here know you..."
"I'm not lying to you. In this circle, there is a clear division of labor. Stealing is something only the 'Buddha' can do. The 'player' only needs to sit back and enjoy his achievements. There is no need for me to do it myself!"
And just when Ye Xuan was surprised that exploitation was everywhere, Hong Yanwu said softly.
"I can be honest, but I also need self-respect, especially in front of people from a family like you. Self-respect is more important to me than honesty. So this is just this time, not next time. Please don't ask me such questions."
Unfortunately, the supplement was ineffective and Xuan Ye continued to pursue her fiercely.
"No! I want to ask you one last question. Do you admit that stealing is a shameful act? Then why do you still call these people brothers and continue to associate with them?"
"Yes, I admit that stealing is shameful. But you must also know that this is something that you have no choice. Because in the 'movement', stealing is the only means of living for people like us. Although I have other options now.
, but will not look down on others because of it..."
Hong Yanwu still answered.
But Xuan Ye refused to accept this reason.
"No choice? That's an excuse. It's clear that you are indolent and greedy for pleasure. Our country will never starve to death, so don't always talk about society. I don't believe that if you didn't do this, you would have nothing to eat. Most people don't
…”
These words were really harsh, and Hong Yanwu interrupted her before she could finish speaking.
"I don't deny that more people want to live a better life. This is understandable. There is a difference between survival and life. If you think about it, instead of living a wronged life and having others point fingers and ride on your neck, you can only
Let’s eat some steamed buns instead. How attractive is depravity?”
Ye Xuan snorted contemptuously.
"You laugh at the poor but not at the prostitutes? This is a parasite-like lifestyle..."
Hong Yanwu sighed.
"Xuan Ye, you lack experience in social life, so your vision is very limited. With all due respect, during those special days, although many officials were pulled from their posts and suffered a lot, it can be compared with the families of ordinary people.
Compared to that, it’s nothing at all. Because the common people have been silently suffering all kinds of hardships caused by bloodline suppression and unequal opportunities. And during the "movement" period, this kind of hardship even escalated into a kind of complete despair. Could it be that
Do we have to leave the capital? Do we have to follow other people's arrangements for our destiny? This is related to our own life. It's not that we can't afford stationery to go to school, or we can't afford tickets to go to the movies. We only have steamed buns in our food bowls, and we can only watch.
What other people can cover by being popular and drinking spicy food..."
Ye Xuan spoke urgently.
"Social opportunities can never be equal!"
But Hong Yanwu picked it up faster.
"Then we have to look at the reasons for this inequality. Why are some people born superior and noble, while others are humble and poor? Is it because they are born and cannot be changed?
Do you just have to accept your fate? You might as well think about it again, why were there not so many thieves in the capital before the "movement"? Let me tell you, just because of certain innate attributes, a person can be recruited as a soldier, go to school, or be recruited to change his destiny.
When all hope is blocked, the few bloody people at the bottom of society, the few unwilling people, will be forced to fight back against fate and society, even if this method is unwise, wrong, and destined to be broken and bloody, then
It's better than just waiting to die. Just look at those noble disciples who are in trouble. They fight, break into doors, pick locks, and wash the Buddha. They do everything. What does this mean? This feeling has an effect on everyone.
Same……"
Ye Xuan was really excited.
"You are shameless and arrogant!"
Hong Yanwu denied it.
"No, I just forgot about it. In fact, I don't want to defend my past, because I never feel inferior to myself because of other people's opinions. I just want to tell you two points. One, although you look down on these gangsters and
Thieves, but not everyone can do this. The biggest difference between them and ordinary people is that they are unwilling to be mediocre and have a sense of adventure. Not only do they dare to do it, but they all have some talent, but they just don't use it in a good place.
Second, the fewer opportunities society gives to ordinary people, the more crimes will occur in society. This is the same regardless of the political system of any dynasty or generation. To reduce crime, relying only on the state to suppress it is treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.
Once you catch one, more will pop up. To solve this problem, we can only let everyone see the opportunity and hope for improvement. No one is stupid and will weigh the pros and cons. This is how I washed my hands in a golden basin...
…”
After a moment of silence, Xuan Ye finally admitted defeat.
"Your remarks really impressed me."
Hong Yanwu was purely instinctive and looked complacent.
"Do you think I still have a bit of a philosopher's temperament and have extraordinary knowledge?"
"No! What you are saying can only be considered sophistry. I just admit that I can't defeat you. Besides, you are too shameless. Why do you never forget to praise yourself in different ways?"
This was obviously a sign of anger, so Hong Yanwu just smiled and said nothing.
Although Ye Xuan left angrily that day, the next time they met, she completely forgot about it. She still chatted with Hong Yanwu and was still very interested in his bragging and nonsense.
It can be seen from this that although this girl also loves to be serious and has a high self-esteem, there is a fundamental difference between her and Zhou Manna who looks down on others and is cunning and harsh. She does not treat people based on utilitarianism and only determines her attitude based on appearance and family background.
.
What happened next also proved this point. Hong Yanwu didn't expect that this girl kept her word and was quite reliable in her work.
In mid-August, Xuan Ye actually brought him through the gate of the Factory Management Bureau of the Munitions Department of the "General Logistics Department" and met with a deputy director whom she called uncle.
Since Hong Yanwu was well prepared, he brought a photo of the land deed of Wanyan's old home. The deputy director readily promised at that time that the army factory would be withdrawn in two months. At that time, Hong Yanwu would just come back with the land deed and complete the handover procedures.
This made Hong Yanwu almost ecstatic. He really didn't expect that the matter that had cost him so much money to accomplish could be solved so easily.
When the words "Time, luck and fate!" came out of his mouth, he sincerely wanted to thank Xuan Ye. No matter how much money he spent.
But he didn't expect that this girl resolutely refused all expensive gifts such as four speakers, a VCR, a watch, and a gold pen, but only asked that he take her to experience the life of the people in Nancheng when he was free.
This clarity and innocence really made Hong Yanwu feel more fond of her.
In short, the feeling that Xuan Ye gave to Hong Yanwu was increasingly torn from the image of the cold-hearted and stunningly beautiful lady in his memory.
To put it bluntly, Ye Xuan now is just a young flower and grass, thin and childish, yet extremely gentle and considerate.
She is completely different from that "big shot" wife who is fair, elegant, and so noble that people can only look up at her, and that any man would feel ashamed and lose all his energy when seeing her. She is simply not the same person.
