After hearing what the driver Jiang Mancheng said, Zhou Yunzhen felt uncomfortable. He believed that what Jiang Mancheng said was not a lie, and he felt sad and felt compassion.
He took out his pocket and took out the rest of the money, which was just over a hundred yuan. He handed it to the driver Jiang Mancheng, "This is half a month's salary from me. You can use it for emergencies." one time."
When Jiang Mancheng saw it, his face turned red, he was ashamed, and he waved his hands to refuse.
He wished he could get through a crack in the ground.
This money of about one hundred yuan was by no means small money in the 1990s, but it was half a month's salary.
I just wanted to get an extra ten yuan, my behavior was a bit abominable, my methods were a bit shameful, but instead of being rude and scolding me harshly, others were extremely sympathetic to my situation and offered help.
Seeing that the driver Jiang Mancheng refused to accept it, Zhou Yunzhen joked: "Your attitude just now is completely different from now? At that time, you extended your hand to ask for it, and you couldn't give it if you didn't give it. It was simply blackmailing money."
"What now? People are willing to give it, but you turn away the money that is about to be received? Suddenly I saw two faces of you. Are you a double-faced person?"
"no."
"Isn't that too little? Well, I'll add some more."
After that, Zhou Yunzhen took off the watch from his wrist and gave it to the driver Jiang Mancheng.
This watch was earned by Zhou Yunzhen from working part-time during the summer vacation when he was in college.
"No, no, brother, don't get me wrong. I definitely didn't mean it like this. I was indeed wrong just now. I will definitely change my ways from now on." The driver, Jiang Mancheng, was ashamed and guilty.
"You must change your past mistakes in the future? No, you must change it now. If you know your mistakes, you should change them. There is no greater good."
"How to change it?"
Zhou Yunzhen said: "You have worked hard, and you can only get your corresponding part. You cannot ask for ill-gotten gains. If you ask for it, it is extortion, and it will only ruin the rest of your life."
"Don't take what you shouldn't want. It's not yours. Otherwise, it will be easy to go on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes."
"However, if others are willing to support you, you can't refuse. It's someone else's intention."
The driver Jiang Mancheng still refused. He stammered, "I can't accept it. As the saying goes?"
"What's the saying?"
"As the saying goes, as the saying goes," muttered, "as the saying goes, thieves also have their ways."
"What?" Zhou Yunzhen's face suddenly changed, "Do you still think of yourself as a thief? Have you ever been a thief?"
"No, absolutely not." The driver, Jiang Mancheng, was so frightened that he cursed and swore, "I have blackmailed people, but I have never been a thief. If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning and die." "
Zhou Yunzhen thought to himself, as the ancients said, it is easy to get rid of thieves in the mountains, but it is difficult to get rid of thieves in the heart.
If people like Jiang Mancheng who are released from the labor camp go out into the society and are discriminated against, looked down upon, cannot find a job, and are left to fend for themselves, then the "goodness" in their hearts will not be suppressed. "Evil", the results of education and reform in the labor camp will be in vain.
Once "evil" spreads, it is possible for people to commit crimes such as thieves and thieves, or even kill people and commit major criminal cases that shock the world, and the harm to society is immeasurable.
"What crime did you commit and go to the labor camp?" Zhou Yunzhen asked.
"I was fighting outside and committed the crime of provoking trouble."
"How many years was the sentence?"
"Five years."
Zhou Yunzhen nodded, so Jiang Mancheng was not an incorrigible robber.
Zhou Yunzhen said seriously: "Jiang Mancheng, you are not allowed to blackmail people in the future. Don't think that once you go to jail again, the government will support your mother for you. Did you still have merit in jail? Can you enjoy the treatment of military martyrs? Isn't it ridiculous?" "
"Your mother can only go into a social nursing home, but she has a son alive, so she doesn't meet the conditions for entering a nursing home. That will only increase the burden on your other relatives."
"As a son of a human being, how can you be so embarrassed if you have a mother who can't support you?"
Jiang Mancheng lowered his head in shame.
Zhou Yunzhen said next: "I already know your current difficulties, they are only temporary. You can accept my money together with the watch to solve the current difficulties. From now on, you will be an honest person and do things, and you will get rich through hard work, not hard work." Get rich by cheating.”
Zhou Yunzhen left the money and watch on the passenger seat, then opened the door and got out of the car.
Jiang Mancheng, who left behind the clay and wood sculptures, had his eyes blurred with tears.
Zhou Yunzhen walked towards the entrance of the park.
As he approached the park entrance, he subconsciously touched his wallet and prepared to buy a ticket.
At this time, a tall and thin young man suddenly appeared on the wall, holding a ticket in his hand. He politely said to Zhou Yunzhen, "Master, do you want to buy a ticket to enter the park?"
"Yes."
"By coincidence, I have a ticket here. I just bought it. Can I refund you the low price?"
"Why? Aren't you going in?"
'I won't go to the park today. I just received a call from home. There is an emergency at home and I have to rush back to deal with it. " said the visitor.
"How much is this ticket?"
"Well, it's fate that we met, and we will be friends when we meet in the future. I have always treated my friends with sincerity, so let's give it a half discount. It originally cost twenty cents, but you can give me ten cents, and the vote will be yours."
"Okay!" Zhou Yunzhen took out a dime from his body and gave it to him, then took the ticket.
"Goodbye!" After the visitor said, I left in a hurry.
Looking at the back of this man who was walking in a hurry, Zhou Yunzhen always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain why.
This person gave himself the feeling of slipping away and running away.
Zhou Yunzhen looked at the ticket in his hand and felt that the printing was rough and there was nothing wrong with it.
He held the ticket and walked towards the park, only to find that there was no staff checking the tickets at the park gate.
None of the people who came in in twos and threes had a ticket. What's wrong?
He returned to the door and took a look, only to find that there was no ticket window at all.
It turns out that Forest Park is a place for everyone to rest. They can come and go freely and there is no admission fee.
Zhou Yunzhen understood that the person just now was a liar, and he only cheated little by little. Although he didn't cheat much at one time, after he succeeded many times, he would add up to a lot.
No wonder this person is experienced and mature in his techniques and seems to be a habitual liar.
Jiang Mancheng blackmailed passengers openly, and it was caused by family difficulties; but this guy lied with sweet words and made you pay for it yourself. Could it be that he also encountered family changes?
Judging from his skillful deception, this guy is probably indolent, unable to bear the hardships of life, and wants to live a life of getting something for nothing.
Society is a big stage, everyone is an actor, and everyone plays a different role.
If you walk a lot at night, you will always encounter ghosts. One day, when his deception is exposed in public and there is no way to escape, and when he faces the end of a labor camp, I wonder if he will regret it in his heart?
