Chapter 104: The Difference Between You and Me
"Hi!" Someone patted Deng Xiuzhen on the shoulder to say hello.
Deng Xiuzhen looked back and saw a middle-aged woman she didn't recognize. She had the same haircut as her, and wore a cheap suit-style jacket, straight-leg pants, and round-toed leather shoes.
Deng Xiuzhen didn't say anything, took a few steps back, and looked at the other person warily.
"My name is Zheng Ying. You can't recognize me, right?" The other party smiled slyly.
From that look and that expression, Deng Xiuzhen realized that Zheng Ying had changed her makeup again.
But this outfit is really good and suitable for meeting myself.
The two found a secluded corner of the teahouse and sat down. Deng Xiuzhen was a little confused. Should she ask herself or wait for Zheng Ying to speak?
As if Zheng Ying understood her thoughts, she said directly: "You bought the courtyard house and just left it there. Do you know what it would be like if no one lived there and took care of it?"
Deng Xiuzhen was stunned. She really didn't think that much. It wasn't that she didn't understand. It was because she was scared at the time and just wanted to leave quickly. Then after returning home, all those trivial things happened one after another, and she didn't give herself time to think about things properly.
"You ran away pretty fast. I went to look for you, but the hotel said you had checked out. Then I went to the Siheyuan to look for you, but all the courtyards were closed. I don't have your contact information, and there's no need to go to Pucheng to look for you. Since you bought a house, you will come to Kyoto eventually.
I happen to have an agency, so I will take charge and help you put your house up for rent. I will keep the rent for you and give it to you when you come."
Deng Xiuzhen expressed her gratitude repeatedly, which was from the bottom of her heart.
"You don't need to thank me, we just have a mutually beneficial relationship, and the company will take all the commissions that should be collected." Zheng Ying said, and then she changed her posture and leaned back in the chair to close her eyes and rest. After a while, a slight snoring sound was heard. Deng Xiuzhen was dumbfounded, but she didn't dare to make any sound, for fear of waking Zheng Ying up.
About half an hour later, Zheng Ying woke up and smiled at Deng Xiuzhen.
This smile made Deng Xiuzhen relax a lot, and she asked, "Are you tired? Didn't you get enough rest?"
"Well, I've been very busy recently. There are too many things to do. I only sleep three or four hours a day at most." Zheng Ying smiled bitterly and said, "I said something wrong last time. Please don't take it as an offense!"
Deng Xiuzhen was stunned: "What?"
"Last time I talked about the problem of IQ and ability, I didn't think much about it at the time, I just said it casually."
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm a little stupid anyway, and you didn't say I was stupid. Look at you, not only can you think of everything carefully and do everything in a meticulous and appropriate manner, but you also have courage and strategy.
Unlike me, my brain is like rusty. Not only can I not think about problems, but I am always forgetful when doing things. When encountering problems, I just get scared and want to retreat and run away. "Deng Xiuzhen interrupted Zheng Ying and said.
Zheng Ying bit her lower lip and smiled, saying, "Actually, you are not stupid. Not only are you not stupid, you are also very smart. There are not many stupid people in this world.
The difference between you and me, that is, the difference between most people, is not a question of intelligence or stupidity, but is determined by the family you are born into, the education you receive from your parents, and the environment around you.
For example, a teacher's children will definitely receive education earlier than a farmer's children. And a farmer's children will definitely know about farm tools and crops earlier than a teacher's children.
For example, the children of a dancer will definitely be exposed to dance earlier than the children of a doctor, and the children of a doctor will learn some medical knowledge earlier than other children.
The difference between you and me is that I grew up in a business family. My parents started to cultivate us when we were very young. They sent us to learn management and business.
At the same time, they will teach us personally, teach us how to maximize our profits, teach us how to carve out a path in the cruel business competition, and even teach us how to give up, including our loved ones.
We see or hear a lot of relevant information and examples every day. It is possible that what we see every day is something you have never come into contact with. How can you understand it?
Although I am younger than you, I started learning these things more than 20 years earlier than you, and my experience has shaped my character.
And I can’t learn your character, because you can retreat, but if you retreat you will only give up money.
If I retreat, I might lose my life!" Zheng Ying said, sighing deeply.
Is it that serious? Deng Xiuzhen wanted to ask, but she didn't.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Is there anything that brings you to Kyoto this time?" Zheng Ying turned her head and looked at Deng Xiuzhen.
"It's still about Uncle Zhao. Last time, he asked me to give money to his son-in-law. But his son-in-law got cancer and could only live for three months at most. He wanted to bury the three of them together after he died. He asked me to help bring back the ashes of Zhao Shuliang's daughter and grandson."
"Did he come here on his own? Do you want me to arrange a good hospital for him and find a good doctor to see him?" Zheng Ying said seriously.
"He was a poor man, he was blind and couldn't come, and he didn't want to come either, saying that his wife and children were gone and there was no point in living, and he was also sick, and living was just a repetition of pain.
Originally, he didn't want to trouble me. He just wanted to go back to his hometown in a few days, repair his parents' graves, dig a pit, and when he died, have someone put his clothes together with his wife and children's clothes, saying that they would be able to meet again in the next life and live happily together.
In fact, this is just a superstition, there is nothing to believe in, but think about it, this is the only wish of a person before he dies. And I support him a little bit in my heart, thinking that he is a man who values friendship, so I want to help him fulfill his wish, hoping to make him feel a little care and warmth, and hope that he can die in peace. "Deng Xiuzhen explained.
“Where are the ashes?”
"I buried it under the crabapple tree in Uncle Zhao's yard." Deng Xiuzhen said with her head down. She was a little embarrassed. After all, what she did was not only unkind, but also a little silly.
After hearing this, Zheng Ying laughed and said, "You can't take it out, right?"
Deng Xiuzhen blushed and lowered her head even more.
"I'm not kidding you. I can ask someone to help you take out the ashes. But I think before you take them out, you'd better ask Zhao Shuliang for his opinion. After all, they are his daughter and grandson. Don't turn a good thing into a bad one." Zheng Ying stood up and stretched.
Deng Xiuzhen thought about asking Zhao Shuliang for his opinion, but she just thought that he couldn't get out of prison anyway. She was not familiar with Kyoto, and she didn't know whether his case had been resolved yet. It would be too troublesome for her to look for him, so she automatically stopped thinking about this issue.
Now after hearing what Zheng Ying said, she thought it would be better to go and ask. After all, Zheng Ying should be able to help her meet Zhao Shuliang.
