Chapter 26 under the umbrella

It was raining heavily, some were holding umbrellas, some were not.Those without an umbrella had umbrellas next to each other, and they got under the umbrellas to hide from the rain, which was somewhat sheltered, but the water pouring down from the edges of the umbrellas was more violent than the rain outside.The heads of those who squeezed under the umbrella were drenched. Of course, this is a didactic fable, and the meaning is obvious: poor people often lose money when they make friends with rich people. I thought of this section on a rainy street once, but I never wrote it because it was too similar to Mr. Nechang’s style of tea talk.
