My name is Li Xiaofang, and I have always had a good relationship with my neighbor's aunt Ma Fenglan. Her family has 100,000 cash saved, and I know it. I have a colleague named Zhang Lin in my company, and we usually cooperate very well. Unexpectedly, because of a trivial matter, the two of us had a big quarrel and the relationship broke down.
Aunt Ma, who lives on the 6th floor, often treats me as her daughter. I often go to her house to sit and chat, and the relationship is very close.
One afternoon, I went to find Aunt Ma with fruits. She opened the door to see me and said happily:"Xiao Fang is here, come in and sit. It's so hot and scorching outside. "
I smiled and greeted her:"Auntie, I bought your favorite lychee and longan, and I'll give you some today. "
Oops, don't be so polite. Auntie, I don't lack this fruit. Come, put the fruit on the coffee table, I'll wash some apples, and we'll eat together. "
Aunt Ma said and hurriedly went to the kitchen. I put the fruit down and sat down on the couch to wait for her.
She came over and sat with me after washing the apples and said with a smile"I think you're here to talk to me, and the fruit is just an excuse. "
I laughed too:"Auntie saw through me!Actually, I just want to come and see you and catch up with you. "
I knew that you were the best talker, and it was a pleasure to talk to you. Come, eat the fruit first, and talk slowly. "
We happily ate the fruit and chatted casually about homely things while eating. Aunt Ma asked me about my work again, and I told her about the recent situation of the company.
Hey, Xiaofang, you have a successful career now, which really makes me proud as an old woman!"Aunt Ma said.
Thank you Auntie for the compliment. I am where I am today thanks to the care of your elderly family. "I said flatteringly.
Aunt Ma smiled:"Okay, okay, what's the matter with saying such nice things?"
I waved my hand:"No, no, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. "
Aunt Ma touched the head of the ** and said:"Don't be so out of sight with your aunt, it's okay to just say anything about it. "
Seeing her kindness, I finally mustered up the courage to speak:"Auntie, I actually have a little thing I want to ask you for. Our company is preparing for an important event recently and needs a sum of money to fund it. I would like to ask if you can lend me 100,000 yuan temporarily, and I will return it quickly after the event. Of course, it doesn't matter if you're having trouble for the time being, I can understand that. "
Aunt Ma listened to my explanation and nodded clearly:"I know, your company is short of money for events, so I'm going to borrow money. 100,000 yuan is not a lot of money for me, don't worry, my aunt will definitely lend it to you. "
I said happily:"Really?Then I am so grateful to you!Rest assured, I will definitely return it to you on time. "
Aunt Ma waved her hand:"It's not that I don't believe you, auntie, as long as you can use it, use it, and you can use it if you don't pay it back. "
With that, she got up and walked to the room, and soon came out with an envelope and handed it to me:"This is 100,000 cash, you take it back to the company first, plan your activities well, and remember to invite me to dinner if it is successful. "
I excitedly took the envelope and thanked me repeatedly. Aunt Ma asked me to take care of my body and work hard. I repeatedly assured her that I would make the repayment on time. Just like that, I left Aunt Ma's house gratefully.
With 100,000 yuan in hand, I happily returned to the company to prepare for the event. Who knew that Zhang Lin saw that I had come back with so much money, and she became curious, and immediately asked me where I borrowed it from.
I tried to hide the money, and told Zhang Lin in general terms that I borrowed it from a friend. But she insisted that I make it clear, and I didn't want to lie to my good friend, so I had to tell the truth that I borrowed it from my neighbor, Aunt Ma.
Zhang Lin's face immediately changed, and he said seriously"Xiaofang, how can you casually tell someone about the privacy of your aunt's house?People are kind enough to lend you money, you shouldn't spread it everywhere, it's not authentic. "
I explained:"Linlin, I am also forced to do so, the company's tasks require. And Aunt Ma is my good neighbor, we have such a good relationship, she can understand my request. "
Zhang Lin disagreed:"You should consider that this will pose a safety hazard to the aunt. In the future, when others know that her family has so much cash, they are likely to covet it. It's hard for me to agree with you taking advantage of her kindness and trust in this way. "
I'm a little excited:"Linlin, I don't think your attitude of total denial is wrong. Aunt Ma herself agreed to lend me money, why do you, an outsider, accuse me of using her?To what extent do you know about my relationship with my aunt?"
I didn't disrespect Auntie!"I raised the volume,"She said she could lend it to me, what's wrong with me?Why do you reprimand me like that?"
Okay, okay, you say you're right. "Zhang Lin was so excited to see me, and she didn't want to continue arguing.
Linlin, you must believe that I didn't mean to hurt my aunt. I'm also in the need of work, and I can't help it. "I also want to prove my position.
I'm not blaming you, I just think you should be more careful about protecting your neighbor's privacy. But since you think you're doing the right thing, forget it. "Zhang Lin's tone was cold.
You criticize me for such no reason, of course I have to defend myself. You can't deny my position, can you?"I'm still not reconciled.
Okay, if you're happy. I'm still busy at work, so I won't talk to you more. "Zhang Lin saw that I didn't listen to the advice, so she turned around and wanted to leave.
Linlin, can't the words end inexplicably like this, right?"I grabbed her arm.
Please let me go. "She shook my hand away"Since you don't think you're in the right place, there's nothing more for us to say. "
After saying that, she left without looking back. Seeing Zhang Lin's back, I suddenly regretted why the dispute just now was so intense.
Thinking of this, I decided to go to Zhang Lin's house to see her and apologize in person, hoping that we wouldn't just fall out like this. After all, they have known each other for many years, and a quarrel should not ruin friendship.
So I bought fruit and knocked on Zhang Lin's door. Zhang Lin, who opened the door, saw me, her face was obviously ugly, and I quickly took the initiative to say: "Linlin, I'm sorry, I had a bad attitude yesterday and shouldn't have quarreled with you." I reflected on it, and you criticized me with good intentions, and I shouldn't have refuted you emotionally. I hope you can forgive me for once. “
Zhang Lin was silent for a while, and then said: "Actually, I also have a problem, I shouldn't have criticized you so bluntly yesterday, my attitude is too bad." You're sorry for me, I'm sorry for you, we're even. ”
I hurriedly said, "I don't mean to blame you at all!".You criticize me and care about me. We shouldn't get angry with each other about this little thing. ”
Zhang Lin finally smiled: "Okay, it's all over." I'm hungry when I look at the fruit, let's eat it together. Then have a good chat, don't talk about yesterday. ”
I nodded excitedly. Zhang Lin helped me take the fruit to wash, and I waited for her in the living room. It seems that we can resume our friendship again, and I am relieved. After experiencing this dispute, I understand that interpersonal relationships require mutual understanding and mutual accommodation, and words must be cautious in order for the relationship to last. I will keep this lesson in my heart, and from now on I will always think about each other with my friends.
After this altercation and misunderstanding, I reflected on how I was not mature enough when dealing with friendships. Aunt Ma trusts me so much, I shouldn't have told Zhang Lin about her family's privacy. Although I borrowed money temporarily for work, Zhang Lin also had a reason to criticize me, and I should be more careful to protect my neighbors' private affairs.
I decided not to reveal any of my friends or neighbors' secrets in the future, and to learn to keep my mouth shut and not to divulge other people's privacy because of a quick mouth. While thanking Aunt Ma, I will take care not to mention her family's deposit situation as a sign of respect.
