After buying the last high-speed train ticket from Hechuan County to Qingdu, Zhuang Zhou waited until an hour before departure before taking a taxi.

For my father, the first operation was a success and there will be two or three more operations to come.

Naturally, it will cost more money.

Therefore, making money is Zhuang Zhou’s next top priority.

It was already eleven o'clock at night when we returned to the rental house in Qingdu.

I called my mother to let her know I was safe, and repeatedly reminded her on the phone that if she was too busy, she could just hire a caregiver.

My mother agreed readily.

But Zhuang Zhou knew that his mother would definitely not be willing to spend this money.

After a simple wash, Zhuang Zhou lay down on the bed.

Thinking about some recent events.

He thinks life is really fucked up.

His parents were honest country people. When he was young, they told him that as long as he studied hard, he would be able to succeed.

So Zhuang Zhou studied really hard.

From elementary school to high school, and then to college.

He hardly caused his parents any trouble.

I was admitted to Qingdu University, which is ranked among the top ten in the country.

I studied architectural design, which was the most popular subject at that time.

At that time, civil engineering was arguably the most popular major.

Logically speaking, this should be something you can show off!

So Zhuang Zhou naturally felt that he would be able to show his talents after graduating from university.

Make a great career and give yourself and your family a better life.

However.

Reality dealt him a heavy blow.

Only now did he slowly come to his senses.

I also gradually understood some truths.

Poverty is not directly proportional to how hard a person works.

On the contrary, laziness is not the main reason for a person's poverty.

There are many people who work very hard and are willing to endure hardships, but they are still very poor.

They can only get the most basic living security.

And some people don't even dare to do anything.

No matter how hard you work all your life, you will never reach their starting point.

Because some people were born in Rome.

But for those who are willing to endure hardship, this is actually not an advantage at all.

Because as long as you want to suffer, you will suffer endlessly.

Zhuang Zhou remembered reading a book in which the male protagonist believed that he had not lived a good life until his death because he had not worked hard enough to pull the cart.

“What a fuck!!!”
