A story about dishonesty

"Yu Ion" records a story about someone who lost his life due to breach of trust. Once upon a time, there was a businessman in Jiyang when his boat sank when he was crossing the river. He grabbed a hemp stalk and shouted for help. A fisherman heard the sound and went there. The businessman hurriedly shouted: "I am the biggest rich man in Jiyang. If you can save me, I will give you 100 taels of gold." After being rescued ashore, the businessman turned his back on him. He only gave the fisherman 10 taels of gold. The fisherman blamed him for not keeping his word and going back on his word. The rich man said: "As a fisherman, you have never made much money in your life. Are you not satisfied with suddenly getting ten taels of gold?" The fisherman had to leave in dismay. Unexpectedly, the rich man's boat capsized again. Someone wanted to save him, but the fisherman who had been deceived by him said: "He is the one who doesn't keep his words!" So the businessman drowned. It was accidental that the businessman capsized and met the same man twice, but the bad news for the businessman was to be expected. Because if a person does not keep his word, he will lose the trust of others. Therefore, once he is in trouble, no one is willing to come to his rescue. Those who break their trust will have no choice but to sit back and wait for death if they are in trouble.
