Last year I just graduated from college, a person working in the field, encountered thieves, and the money is gone.

At that time, the count was penniless, so I planned to find friends to borrow five hundred emergencies.

I thought it would be easy, after all, only five hundred yuan, for many people, the number is not large.

So I first looked for a friend from high school to play together, she worked early, there is a certain amount of savings, and I once did all I could to help her.

At first, the atmosphere was quite good, but then I mentioned borrowing money, and her tone began to be impatient.

It was the first time I asked someone to borrow money, and I was in a difficult situation, so it was hard. Then she said: I have no money, you find someone else!

I know others are willing to lend you money in friendship, not willing to do not complain, and no one is obliged to help you.

So I did not continue, looking for another friend, and then this friend has been ignoring me.

I was alone in the rental room, feeling very embarrassed and a little sad.

Later, after hitting the wall several times, a nose of dust, I finally found a college classmate. The same as me, work not to a month of classmates.

Because there was no money on the card, she didn't say anything, she went out to save money to transfer it.

My heart finally felt a touch of warmth, when I went to bed at night to turn to space, but I saw the first friend I looked for sent a message: husband and money are not loaned!

The bottom of someone heckling comments: Haha, who ah, but also borrow your husband, really funny!

Then she returned: a friend, not to borrow a husband, is to borrow money.

Comment: That must be lame, otherwise how to force you to also send a special talk? The husband should also pay attention to their own ah, not be borrowed away.

She sent a smile emoticon.

There are several comments, all of which are very harsh.

I held back the tears for a long time at that moment did not hold it all down, cried for a long time, and the feeling of shame and resentment is still fresh in my mind.

Later I recovered, and she talked to me a few times. All are very common topics, but I have lowered her position in my heart.

In the first hour of payday, I returned the money and mailed a gift to a friend who was willing to lend me money and now keeps in good touch. If she is in trouble in the future, I will do my best to repay her.

No one is obligated to send money in the snow, but throwing another pot of water on it is not necessary. If I didn't have that comment, I would still be able to treat you with my whole heart as I did before.

I met her on the first day of high school, went through a class, split dormitory, and have been together.

It is really good at that time, a lot of memories can still smile when you think about it.

Even after I went to college, the contact has not been broken.

So when she rejected me outright, I was a little confused.

I shouldn't have asked to borrow money from her, so maybe we could still be the same as before. I value this friendship for so many years, and it's really hard to give up suddenly.

When she approached me later, I tried to act as if I didn't care, but I found a thorn in my side. When I went home, she asked me out to play, somehow I found an excuse to refuse.

The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time.

But I'm still sad now, if only I hadn't asked her to borrow money.
