    The older generation often says, "Never betray your conscience, never take advantage of others' hard-earned money." A moment of greed led to a debt of 30,000 yuan, which was initially thought to be a windfall. Little did the past know that for many years to come, the debt would be tormented daily, requiring half a lifetime to repay. This story doesn't have a dramatic or melodramatic plot; it tells the price of a single wrong decision by an ordinary person. Greedy gains ultimately become shackles, and debts must be repaid sooner or later. The story advises people to uphold their conscience and maintain goodness; one wrong step can lead to a lifetime of unease.
