When getting married, relatives will send blessings and gift money to express their congratulations and support for the couple. However, some people have conflicts and quarrels because of the amount of gift money, and even lead to family breakdowns. Today, I want to tell you a true story, which is a story about marriage, gift money and family, a story that makes people sigh and feel sad.
Xiaohong was born into a poor family in the countryside, her father died in a car accident at an early age, and her mother worked hard to support her and her younger brother, rarely returning home. Xiaohong has not enjoyed father's and mother's love since she was a child, she can only rely on the care of her grandmother, who is a kind and kind old man who gives her a lot of warmth and care.
Xiaohong is very sensible, she knows the difficulties at home, she has studied hard since she was a child, hoping to be admitted to a good university, change her fate, and also hope to let her grandmother and mother live a good life. Her younger brother is different, very naughty, does not like to study, and often mingles with the gangsters in the village, causing trouble and causing a lot of trouble to the family. Xiaohong often persuaded him to study hard and not to take the wrong path, but he didn't listen, but disliked Xiaohong, saying that she was a nerd and had no fun in life.
Xiaohong's mother is also very partial, she always feels that her son is her own treasure, her daughter is someone else's wealth, her requirements for her younger brother are very low, and her requirements for Xiaohong are very high, she always puts pressure on Xiaohong, let her get admitted to college, find a good job, marry a good family, and win glory for the family. She dotes on her brother, no matter what he does wrong, she will speak for him, give him money, and let him do whatever he wants without worrying about the consequences. Xiaohong was very aggrieved, she felt that her mother was unfair and didn't love her, she could only bury her grievances in her heart and didn't dare to say it, for fear of hurting her mother's heart.
Xiaohong did not give up her dream, she used her hard work and wisdom to be admitted to a key university, her grandmother and mother were very happy, but her brother was jealous, saying that she was a nerd. Xiaohong ignored him, she felt that as long as she worked hard, she would definitely have a good future.
Xiaohong performed very well in college, she not only studied well, but also participated in many clubs and activities, broadened her horizons and social circle, she also found a part-time job, earned some money, sent some money to the family, and helped the family's life. Her grandmother and mother were very touched, but her younger brother laughed at her, saying that she was a desperate Saburo and had no joy in life.
After graduating, Xiaohong found a good job, her job was a product manager of a well-known Internet company, her salary was very high, her colleagues and leaders appreciated her, her work was very fulfilling, and her life was very happy. Grandma and mother were proud, but her brother hated her and said she was a workaholic.
Xiaohong was at work, met a very good man, his name is Xiao Ming, he is an executive of a well-known financial company, he works very well, his personality and Xiaohong are very compatible, they appreciate each other, support each other, and soon fall in love, they decided to get married and start a new life. Xiaohong's grandmother and mother are very happy, but her younger brother is jealous of her and says that she isIf you get married so early, you won't enjoy life
Xiaohong and Xiao Ming's wedding was very simple, they didn't invite a lot of relatives and friends, only invited the closest people, they didn't ask for a lot of gift money, I just hope everyone can bless them, their wedding is very warm and happy. Xiaohong's grandmother and mother are very satisfied, but the younger brother is not satisfied, he thinks Xiaohong's wedding is too shabby, no face, and he didn't give Xiaohong a gift, just bought a random dress, saying that it was a wedding gift for Xiaohong.
Xiaohong doesn't care about her brother's attitude, she feels that as long as she and Xiao Ming are happy, it is enough, she doesn't want to worry about her brother, she still regards her brother as her own relative, and hopes that her brother can change her life and find her own happiness. However, the younger brother has not changed, he is still the same as before, he is not learning, he is idle, he is addicted to gambling and drinking, and he still owes a lot of debtsDebt collection by creditorsHis life is in trouble, he has no way to pay back the money, there is no way to find a job, he can only ask his family for help
He called his mother, crying about his suffering, hoping that his mother could help him pay back the money and save his life. Xiaohong's mother listened to her brother's words, she felt very distressed, she felt that her brother was her own heart, and she couldn't let him suffer, she decided to help her brother pay back, but she didn't have so much money, she could only think of one way, that is, to borrow money from Xiaohong.
Xiaohong's mother called ** to Xiaohong, told her brother about the situation, and asked her to lend her brother 100,000 yuan, saying that this is the root of his brother's life, and if he doesn't borrow it, his brother will die. Xiaohong listened to her mother's words, very helpless, she knew that her brother was her own brother, and she didn't want to see anything happen to her brother, but she also knew that her brother was a scoundrel, he would not cherish this money, he would only continue to gamble and lose, she lent him money, it would only make him more indulgent, more unable to extricate himself, she felt that doing so was harming her brother, not saving her brother. She persuaded her mother not to give her brother any more money, and let her brother face the consequences and change his life by himself, which is the real help to his brother.
Xiaohong's mother was very angry when she heard Xiaohong's words, she felt that Xiaohong was an unfilial daughter, did not love her brother, and was unwilling to help her family.
Xiaohong listened to her mother's words and was very sad, she felt that her mother was too much, what she said was too ugly, she didn't understand why her mother favored her younger brother so much. She cried and said that she was her mother's daughter, she was her brother's sister, she was part of the family, she also had her own feelings and thoughts, she was not a punching bag for her mother and brother, she was a person with dignity and worth, she was a person with dreams and courage.
Xiaohong's mother and brother did not listen to Xiaohong's explanation and did not accept Xiaohong's apology, and they insisted that Xiaohong borrow money or cut off relations with her. Xiaohong had no choice but to agree to borrow money, but she didn't have so much money, she could only borrow money from her husband Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming is a very understanding and supportive person of Xiaohong, he agreed to lend money to Xiaohong, but he also advised Xiaohong not to be used by his mother and brother again, not to let himself be hurt again, he and Xiaohong are the happiest people.
Xiaohong was very moved, she felt very lucky to meet such a good husband, she decided to listen to Xiao Ming, no longer entangled with her mother and brother, no longer in contact with her mother and younger brother, no longer go home with her mother and younger brother, she decided to start a new life with Xiao Ming, she decided to pursue her dreams with Xiao Ming, she decided to enjoy her own happiness with Xiao Ming, she decided to do the fun of her own life with Xiao Ming.
Xiaohong called her mother for the money and then sent her a text message telling her that this was the last time she gave her and her brother money, and the last time she spoke to her and her brother.
A year later, my younger brother actually called ** to inform my sister that I was getting married, and my sister was going to come anyway, because this marriage is very important. After my sister received the news, she thought about it again and again, discussed it with her husband, and decided to go for it. At the wedding, she gave a gift of 1,000 yuan, which was also benevolent and righteous, and when she got married, her brother didn't take anything.
After the wedding, my brother and mother were a little upset when they saw that she only gave a thousand gifts, saying that she was a white-eyed wolf and fed you for nothing. At this time, my sister couldn't sit still, I paid so much for this family, why don't I remember, but now I say that mine is not. She decided not to say so much anymore, knelt down to say goodbye to her mother, and decided never to go back to this house again, and went home with her husband.
Friends, seeing this, do you think my sister is doing the right thing?
