Postscript: Unfair Consideration
. ////stand
Another night, Feng Junzi raised his glass to admire the moonlight in the sky. This was a crescent moon, but it had the beauty of declining and desolateness. This time he was not on the beach, but sitting alone on the balcony, and peach wood bells were preparing supper in the kitchen.
Feng Junzi was pondering under the moonlight, and Taomuling came out to greet him: "Dinner is ready, don't you come and eat quickly, what are you thinking when you sit there?"
Feng Junzi: "I was thinking about the song you sang on the beach that night and sang the ghost song on the Ghost Festival, and really attracted the ghosts. Huang Dongbo's family was the ghost that made trouble that day."
Taomuling: "As soon as you said that, I remembered it. We went to the hospital to see Huang Dongbo that day, and I found that his eyes were full of resentment. When you turned around and left, his eyes almost wanted to kill you. Have you noticed it? Why? It was because you saved his life."
Feng Junzi sighed, "He wouldn't think so. He wouldn't remember that I saved his life. He would only remember that he lost one eye and he would also keep the account on me. There is a kind of person who will never be grateful for how much you did for him. As long as you have something that makes him dissatisfied, he will resent you for the rest of your life. I have known that he is such a person."
Taomuling: "He eventually lost one eye. Is this what people call retribution?"
Feng Junzi: "I think this is the price."
Taomuling: "Consideration? What does this mean?"
Feng Junzi: "This is a new term I just learned in May this year. Its meaning is very complicated. Simply put, if a person wants to achieve a certain goal because of his own interests, but this purpose will hurt others, so he has to make compensation. Of course, there is another understanding, that is, the price of equality. Perhaps Huang Dongbo's eyes are the consideration paid in the Ding Xiaoyu incident."
Taomuling: "Then I don't think this offer is equal and fair. It can be said that Huang Dongbo took Ding Xiaoyu's life, while Ding Xiaoyu only took one of his eyes. Is one eye fair compared to a life?"
Feng Junzi: "There is no absolutely fair thing in the world. If Ding Xiaoyu hadn't dispersed, and like other dead people, the things would have passed away."
Taomuling: "Your ghost statement may make sense, but I still support my point of view. That is just Huang Dongbo's own psychological phenomenon."
Feng Junzi sneered: "Psychological phenomenon? I see that Huang Dongbo has no guilt in this matter. On the contrary, he does not think that he has killed Ding Xiaoyu for life, but only thinks that others owe him an eye."
Taomuling sat next to Feng Junzi and said in a gentle voice: "The thing has passed, so let's stop talking about such people. Do you know what the fake Feng Junzi in my hallucination said to me that night?... I wouldn't tell you if I want to ask, thank you for giving me this ring. It seems that it really has a mysterious power, and it must be a very expensive thing."
Feng Junzi: "Valuable? Tell you, this is what I bought in the shopping mall in Xuancheng, Anhui when I went home during the Spring Festival. It cost a total of 26.40 cents."
Peach Wooden Bell: "…"
Feng Junzi: "If it was something else, I would definitely give it to you, but this ring cannot do it, because it belongs to a ring, and using a ring as a gift has a very special meaning. Please give it back to me."
(Note from Mr. Xu: Consideration is originally a legal term, and its original intention is to exchange for another person's promise to do something. The money or other price paid by someone is also the price of purchasing a certain promise. From the perspective of legal relationship, the contract has no consideration, and the consideration is an equivalent and paid promise relationship.)
