Returning home to visit my parents
Uncle next door asked me: How much can you earn in a month?
I know his son isn't doing very well,
so I hesitated and made myself sound miserable.
I said it's about three or four thousand yuan. Uncle instantly smiled,
then continued to ask: So is it three thousand or four thousand?
I said I earn on commission, sometimes it's over four thousand, sometimes it's less than three thousand, and I often work overtime, sometimes I don't even get paid.
Hearing this, Uncle's smile became even brighter, he spoke a little louder and comforted me, saying I should work hard outside.
This is human nature! They envy what you have, laugh at what you lack, disdain your poverty, fear your wealth, and are even more afraid that you are better than them.
