Why do people go crazy for money? How do greed and fear control people's hearts? How could such a simple and loophole-filled game make all the people in Jiangnan go crazy?
All the answers were answered at this moment, and the wailing Boss Wang told Liu Bingbug everything.
Liu Bingchong has nearly 10 million banknotes in his hand, but he can watch the tragedies and comedies of these madmen with cold eyes like an old monk in trance. The changes in numbers on the blackboard do not arouse any desire of Liu Bingchong at all. The entire Jiangnan money ticket In a crisis, the willow bug is a ruthless boulder.
Why can he be calm but others can't? Why is he not greedy while everyone else must be? Why isn't he afraid while everyone else is?
Everything has an answer at this moment, because money means different things in everyone's heart.
Willow Bugs had nothing, he was just a beggar. Before the money crisis broke out, all he had were two dry steamed buns and a shabby shack made of straw. He was already extremely poor and had no worries.
In his mind, money has nothing to do with him. It is like things from two different worlds, not related at all. But a dramatic scene occurred. When the market crashed for the first time, this beggar got nearly ten million banknotes in one fell swoop.
Liu Bingbug was confused from that moment on. He still doesn't think that the money has anything to do with him. In his eyes, the money is just a sack that can be used as a pillow.
But in the hearts of Boss Wang and all the people in Jiangnan, money is definitely not a waste that is packed in sacks and used as pillows and mattresses. Money is their life.
In Boss Wang's mind, money represents his son's education, the new house his wife wants, and his dignity in front of all his ruthless relatives.
In Mrs. Ah Qing's mind, money is her daughter's future dowry, her favorite rouge and hairpins, and the hope for a woman without a son to provide for her future retirement.
In the eyes of Brother Qinglong, money is a ticket for him to enter the Chinese clan, a piece of credit that can clear his name, and a possibility of being rewarded by the prime minister or even being knighted in the future.
In the minds of Cixi and Yi, money is a brand-new palace, the dignity worshiped by all nations, and the power to intimidate the king and the king.
In Xiao Letian's mind, money is the military expenditure of the Chinese nation, the cornerstone of the Chinese nation's industrialization, and the fuel for the nation's future prosperity.
Money is different in everyone's heart. It is not a specific symbol. Money represents a dream, dignity, and passion in everyone's heart. Money mixed with countless emotions is no longer an empty symbol. Yes, that is their life.
Liu Bingbug looked at the changes in the numbers on the blackboard and felt nothing, because he never invested a penny in fighting in it from beginning to end. Even if he did, he wouldn't go crazy because the ten million was all for nothing. Come on, he hasn't had time to use the money to dream up some kind of life ideal of his own.
In Willow Bugs' mind, money is money and has no other meaning.
But in the hearts of the people in Jiangnan, money is their life, and the collapse of money tickets means the collapse of their lives. Boss Wang watched the numbers change in his eyes, but what he thought in his heart was that his son's life was on a dead end.
Others watch the changes in the numbers, but what they think about is the coffin for old age, the dignity in front of relatives and friends, and even the opium and the two ounces of old rice wine that they can't quit for the rest of their lives.
That is their lifelong pursuit and what they consider to be the source of happiness. However, what collapses in the money crisis is not just the piece of paper. What collapses is their lives and their happiness.
Thinking of this, Willow Bugs suddenly realized, "It turns out that people first locked money and happiness in their lives together. When the boat of money sank, the boat of happiness bound by iron chains also sank naturally. Under the water, when life feels hopeless, how many people will be rational?"
"The reason why I can transcend myself is not because of how powerful I am, but because I have been poor all my life. I just got a big fortune, but before I could tie it to my life, it fucking collapsed!"
"That's right, money in my heart does not represent the future, nor does it represent hope, nor does it represent face and dignity, nor does it have the charm of manor, beautiful scenery, or delicious food. That's why I can maintain a trace of clarity in my heart and be calm enough to find the whole disaster. All the flaws in it.”
"Yes, that's it!" Willow Bugs was spinning around in excitement, "I must remember this feeling and never forget it for the rest of my life, especially the feeling of being still, and I must firmly remember that people cannot be used as money. Slave! Absolutely not!"
Liu Bingchong grabbed Boss Wang's wrist and said, "Brother Wang, don't die. You really want to wait six or seven days before dying, okay? I know you don't dare to enter the house. I know you are afraid of seeing your sister-in-law and Son, let’s do this.”
"I have ten silver dollars here. I saved them. Take them first. Don't be stupid. Hurry up and pretend. At least you can use this little money to comfort your sister-in-law and children after you get home! Don't lose the banknotes. , keep it well, there will be a time when the clouds clear and the fog clears!”
Boss Wang was stunned, holding a handful of heavy silver coins in his hand. He never thought that a beggar gave it to him. Looking at Liu Bingbug's running back, he wiped his tears and said, "What's going on in this world?" The beggar gave me money? Or silver coins? Well, wait, silver coins! I have silver coins, I have to give them to my wife and son first."
At this time, he also forgot about seeking death. He stuffed the silver coins into his arms and ran home, knocking down countless people along the way. Boss Wang didn't even have time to say sorry.
After he ran home, he found that his little-footed wife was almost crying and fainting at the door. The younger son was holding a lantern and wanted to go out, but he couldn't let go of his mother. He was scratching his head and head anxiously and was at a loss. When he saw his father coming, the younger son let out a wow. Just cried.
"Mom! My father didn't seek death, my father is here." One sentence saved the woman, and the crying daughter-in-law rushed forward and grabbed the man's clothes.
"You can't die! If the money is gone, it's gone. Let's make more money. If we lose, we'll lose. As long as we live, we will have everything. We don't want the money anymore, we just want you to live!"
The family of three hugged each other and cried. Lao Wang squeezed the silver coin tightly at this moment. Only then did he realize how serious his mistake was. If Willow Bugs hadn't saved him today, his death would have been unjust.
"Yes, I won't die. I will live a good life. I will live a good life even if I don't have money. I will live a good life even if I have money. I will never compete with money again!"
