People who read a lot can have more temperament In this complicated world, people often think that soft-hearted and kind-hearted people are easy targets for bullying. However, after listening to these stories, you will understand how clever the whole person is by pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and those who seem to be weak can show shocking wisdom and strength at critical moments.
The concubine in the first story has a gentle personality and does not know how to resist, but she suffers from her husband's domestic violence. When she asked the gods and Buddha at the temple, the abbot told her a strange method: when she had trouble falling asleep at night, she sharpened her kitchen knife under the eaves. This method may sound strange at first, but it is actually a strategy of "knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger". After the concubine went home and did so, within a few days, the insomnia was cured. Her actions sent a clear signal to her husband that she was not powerless. This strategy both protects oneself and avoids direct conflict.
In the second story, Xiao Wang and his girlfriend reached the point of talking about marriage, but they were opposed by their family because of their girlfriend's age. Xiao Wang is a mother's treasure man, and he actually wants to break up with his girlfriend because of this. However, his girlfriend had a plan and successfully forced her marriage with the strategy of "hiding from the world". At the banquet, she scolded Xiao Wang and made up a lie that Xiao Wang liked men before, so that everyone persuaded Xiao Wang to marry his girlfriend. In the end, Xiao Wang pretended to be reluctant and agreed. This trick not only turned his girlfriend into a victory, but also made Xiao Wang's family have nothing to say.
In the third story, Lao Wang went to the city to work and took a fancy to a shop, but was met by an intermediary lion. Faced with this situation, Lao Wang did not choose to swallow his anger, but used the strategy of "doing the opposite". He smashed the windows of the shop, attracted everyone's attention, and successfully signed a contract directly with the owner, saving double the rent. This move not only allowed Lao Wang to achieve his goal, but also allowed the shopkeeper to save intermediary fees. Lao Wang's wisdom and courage are admirable.
These stories all tell us one thing: never bully soft-hearted people. They may seem weak and deceitful, but they can show amazing intelligence and strength when it matters most. If you feel like you're not being caught, being cheated on, hurting, being taken advantage of, or making no money, then it may be because you don't know anything about human nature. The really powerful people are the ones who know how to use scheming to guard against other people's calculations. They don't have the means to make a fortune, but they rely on a deep understanding and application of human nature.
