"Forbearance" knife under a heart


In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there was a pawn shop in Suzhou. The name of the owner was Yu Zijian, and the business was doing well.

This year, when the year was approaching, the weather was surprisingly cold. Early in the morning, although there was heavy snow in the sky, Yu Zijian resolutely rushed to the pawn shop. Just as he counted the accounts, a noise came from the front counter, so he put down the abacus and walked over. It turned out that an old man and a man living nearby were arguing. The man said to him slyly: "This man used a few clothes to make money in the first two days. Now he has no money to redeem, but he has to take the clothes away. Not only is it unreasonable, but he also exports the monks. How can this be true? ?"

The old man saw the coming of the treasurer. Not only did he not stop at all, but he became more and more unwilling. When Yu Zijian saw this situation, he not only did not anger, but he calmly persuaded him to say: "Why is this? I know what you mean, do you want to take your clothes before the New Year? I have a small matter, I am today. Chenggong old brother!" After that, Youzijian called the guy to take out the clothes of the old man. Yu Zijian pointed to one of the cotton vests and said, "This is essential for keeping out the wind and keeping the cold. You take it away." Then, he took out a new robe and said, "This robe will be worn when you meet New Year. You are also taking this old brother, the rest are single clothes, and you can't wear it now. You might want to put it here first, how?" The old man took two clothes and turned and walked silently.

In the evening, the old man died in a restaurant, and the old man’s family made a big fuss. The restaurant lost a lot of money. It turned out that this old man was weak and sick, and he owed a debt. The family was unable to afford it. He secretly took the chronic poison and wanted to die in Yuzijian’s pawnshop. To this end, he deliberately and unreasonably argued with the pawnshop's buddy, and even hoped that the gang would move his hands and feet and make things big... Fortunately, Yu Zijian handled it properly, so that he did not succeed.

Someone asked Yu Zijian afterwards: "How did you anticipate his tricks and endure him again and again?" You Zijian replied: "Whoever has no reason to confuse people, he must be careful. No matter you How to reason with him is also a waste of time, the only thing at this time is to bear with him, otherwise it must be counted."

In life, we must learn to be patient. We all say that the word "forbearance" is a knife in our heart. This is a tempering of the human heart and a test of one's will. In other words, the word "forbearance" is a heart under the knife. In the face of those who are arrogant and arrogant in the egg, you need to have a wise mind, look at the essence through the appearance, and use your heart to understand the intention of the other party. Forbearance is calm, this kind of tolerance is actually a kind of wisdom.
