I have a rule: those who have helped me can borrow, and those who have not helped me cannot borrow, no matter who they are.

Seeing the faces of these people makes me feel really disgusted. Why can some people be so selfish and self-righteous? Last time I mentioned that our family went bankrupt and borrowed money for tuition. Borrowed from relatives, borrowed from the bank. I graduated this month, and today I accompanied my mom to the bank to pay back the money. On the way, she talked about her journey of borrowing money during this year's New Year. When our family was wealthy, this group of relatives (and they are all close relatives) borrowed money for marriage gifts, for buying houses, building houses, etc. My mom lent them 50,000 or 100,000 without a second thought. Now that our family is in trouble, when we try to borrow money from them, they avoid us as if we were plague. The worst case is that we can't borrow a single cent, and the best case is that they might squeeze out 10,000 yuan. There is one who is doing the best, who recently got married and bought hundreds of thousands worth of insurance for his daughter and a Rolex for his son-in-law, with the excuse that he can only give 30,000 because his credit card limit is reached... When he was starting his business, he borrowed 300,000 from my dad without saying a word. My mom borrowed 120,000 for tuition from relatives, piecing it together from who knows how many people, crying every day in despair. Hearing this broke my heart, accompanied by even more anger. Why can these people be so selfish? In the past, during festivals, they would give cigarettes and alcohol as gifts. Why can people be so selfish...?
