She has been in my shop for several years. She was born in 88, so I always treat her like a kid and take good care of her. Although the salary I gave her was not high, because my shop is not very big, I paid for her meals and accommodation, which amounted to 600 yuan per month at that time. She lived with me. Besides fruits and snacks, I often bought her some small clothes.
Later, she wanted to open a store. Of course, I hope she can have a good future and not work in my small shop forever, so I mobilized my friends to help her find a storefront. According to her level and economic ability, we found a small storefront, and she opened a store. Her mother did not want her to try on her own, so she borrowed some money from her friends. I also lent her one or two thousand yuan. Finally, her store was successfully opened. At that time, her business was quite good. After paying the rent and electricity fees every month, she could still earn three or four thousand yuan. For a girl from the countryside, this was already pretty good. She only worked for a few months, then she started dating a boyfriend and didn't stay in the store properly. Later, due to various reasons, she transferred the store and went back to her hometown in Sichuan. After a few months, she wanted to come back to Shanghai. Because her store was gone and she had nowhere to go, she wanted to come back to my shop. By that time, I had already hired other helpers, and according to my situation at the time, I didn't need more people. But thinking about how she followed me for several years, I let her come back. She stayed for a few months, then left with her boyfriend again, so I let her go. Thinking about it, my place almost became a free in-and-out venue for her, but I always thought she was young and didn't know any better. So I treated her as well as before.
Not long after, because her boyfriend was caught for theft, she desperately wanted to use connections to bail him out. She borrowed 20,000 yuan from me. I hesitated for a moment and lent her the money. I trusted her so much. Now thinking about it, it was a bit risky. (Later, that money wasn't used, so she returned it within a few days), but it fully shows that I helped her. At that time, I also looked for connections everywhere to help them, but because of her boyfriend's issues, no one could help, and he was sentenced to three years. He hasn't returned until now.
I remember when she first said she wanted to leave my shop, I even cried. Because I am too sentimental.
Later, she wanted to open her own store again and borrowed money from me. Although the amount wasn't large, I lent her more than a thousand yuan again. She repaid part of it later, but there were still 600 yuan left. Because her store only lasted for half a month, she said the business was bad, so she closed it. In the summer of 2007, she went back to her hometown. When she left, she said she would definitely repay the 600 yuan. Actually, in my mind, she kept borrowing money from me these days. Her monthly salary was 600 yuan, but she always asked me to give her money in advance, so she never got her full monthly salary. By the end of the month, there was usually only one or two hundred yuan left. Even when she wasn't working for me, she kept borrowing and repaying hundreds of yuan. Although I thought if she went back to her hometown, she could repay if she had money, or it wouldn't matter if she didn't, I didn't say anything. I just smiled.
After she went back to her hometown, we often contacted each other on QQ. Before the Spring Festival of 2008, she told me on QQ that she planned to come back to Shanghai after the New Year. Actually, her family situation was not good. A few years ago, her father died in a coal mine accident. Her mother never worked and had to support her younger brother's education. So her mother remarried. What can I say? Actually, at her age, if she were in the city, she might be considered a treasure, but she often faced some financial pressures from her mother. On the other hand, considering her conditions, although she is young, she should be 20 years old now. Given her family situation, she should be more sensible. And since she knows how to cut hair, she shouldn't just stay at home all day. After she went home last year, she did nothing. Her heart was set high, always wanting to do business, always wanting to open her own store. But she couldn't even take out a thousand yuan, how could she open a store? I advised her to work first and gradually build up experience. Look for opportunities later.
Maybe I am too kind-hearted. I always want my friends to do what I think is good. I told her that opening an online store has low risk and low investment. Although my online store was just starting, I could still make about a thousand yuan per month. There are several well-run online stores in my neighborhood, and they could earn three or four thousand yuan per month. But after the Spring Festival, I lost contact with her. Her phone number changes frequently. But she used to go online often. Now I can't see her on QQ anymore. I'm very confused. I sent a message to her cousin. Her cousin said she went to Beijing. I thought, even if she went to Beijing, it's not possible for someone who loves going online so much to suddenly stop going online. Was she in trouble? But I saw her online name changing sometimes, so I knew she still went online. But I am online every day, and I never saw her messages. I left messages for her, but she never replied.
That's how it went, until a few days ago, when I met a little boy online. That guy also knew her, and he told me a shocking piece of news: She told him not to tell me her new phone number!!! It turns out she was avoiding me!!! As everyone knows, if you delete someone on QQ, the other person won't notice immediately, but after some time, your name will disappear from their QQ list.
In the afternoon, I checked my QQ, and her name was gone!!! This means she deleted me a long time ago. She told others not to tell me her new phone number, deleted me on QQ, and never called me. What does all this mean? Why, oh why, just because she owed me 600 yuan, she ran away like this?
What kind of person is this? My heart feels extremely cold, as if I fell into a snowfield.
From now on, I will never be nice to anyone again. Being kind-hearted, what's the point?
