My husband Liu Qiang and I have been married for 10 years, and we have been living in a small rented house on the outskirts of the city. Liu Qiang has a daughter, Xiaofang, who is the child of him and his ex-wife, and I love her as if she were my own daughter. She is about to get married, I originally thought that the family had no money for marriage, but I didn't expect Liu Qiang to secretly prepare 1.1 million yuan to marry Xiaofang!
A few days ago, I found that Liu Qiang has been absent-minded recently, often going out alone, and he didn't tell me when he came back. At first I didn't pay attention to it, thinking he was busy with work, but then I found out that he had been like this for a long time.
On that day, I accidentally saw his bank statement and found that he had transferred a huge amount of money to Xiaofang a few days ago!I hurriedly asked him for clarification, and he told me that the 1.1 million yuan was his dowry for Xiaofang.
How can you give so much money to Xiaofang without telling me?I was angry and said, "Our family is struggling to pay rent every month, do you know?"You got that much money from **?”
Buying a house?We live in a rented house ourselves!I interrupted him excitedly, "You don't want to think about it, Xiaofang is your ex-wife's daughter, and she has nothing to do with me, why do you want to give her so much money?"”
Xiaofang, I raised her since I was a child, and she is just like my own daughter. Liu Qiang explained, "I just want to be a father and do my best to give her a good start." You also know that housing prices are so expensive now, if you don't help save money, the young couple can't afford to buy a house at all. ”
I can understand your intentions, but it's hard for me to accept that you're hiding it from me. I tried to control my emotions and said, "Let's not talk about where so much money comes from, even if you are thinking about Xiaofang, you should let me know." We are husband and wife, how can we have such a secret?”
Liu Qiang lowered his head, his face full of guilt: "I'm sorry, I had good intentions, I just wanted to surprise you and make you happy for Xiaofang." I didn't think things through, and I didn't expect to hide it from you, I'm really sorry. ”
Seeing his apologetic face, my anger subsided. Indeed, Liu Qiang treats Xiaofang as his own daughter, and I can understand my feelings as a father. But he made a decision behind my back like this, and I still couldn't accept it: "Since you treat Xiaofang as."
My own daughter should treat me as a family member, how can there be such a gap between us?You want to buy a house for Xiaofang, I understand, but you should discuss it with me first, and we can think of a way to get the best of both worlds. ”
Liu Qiang nodded: "You're right, I shouldn't hide it from you." I was in such a hurry that I thought about scraping together enough money to tell you first, but I didn't expect it to hurt your heart. I really know that I am wrong, I will discuss everything with you first in the future, and I will no longer make my own decisions. ”
I saw that his face was full of remorse, and most of the anger in my heart was gone. Over the years, Liu Qiang has indeed been very good to me and Xiaofang, but this time he did things in the wrong way and hurt me.
What are you going to do with this money?Do you really buy a house for Xiaofang?I asked tentatively.
Liu Qiang thought for a while and said, "I originally planned to do so, but now that you say so, it's really not appropriate to give so much." Why don't we divide half of it, 500,000 yuan for Xiaofang as a down payment, and the remaining 600,000 yuan we will pay off the debt first, improve her life, and then find a way to save money to buy furniture for her later?”
I nodded: "That's a good idea, it seems that we can finally move out of that shabby rented apartment, and the hard work of the past few years has not been in vain." ”
Just as we were happily planning the future and preparing to distribute the money, someone suddenly knocked on the door, and it turned out to be Liu Qiang's younger brother Liu Ming.
Liu Qiang, I heard that you have a huge amount of money in your hand, so I know that you must have borrowed it from me!How can you take it and buy a house for your daughter if you don't pay it back?Liu Ming said angrily.
I looked at Liu Qiang in surprise, and his face became ugly.
Give me back?You can't afford to pay it back in this life with your little salary!Liu Ming roared angrily, "I already know the truth, if you don't want all your relatives and friends to know, return the money to me!"”
Allocation scheme?That's my money!Liu Ming interrupted me excitedly, "Liu Qiang, you pay back my money to buy a house for your ex-wife's daughter, I will never agree!."”
Liu Qiang's face was pale and he didn't say a word. I could see that he was in his heart.
Responsibility and struggle, he really shouldn't have lent money to Xiaofang behind my back, but Liu Ming's request was too unreasonable.
Liu Ming, I know that you lent this money to Liu Qiang, and we will find a way to repay you in full. I tried to communicate with him, "But Xiaofang is Liu Qiang's daughter, he wants to give his daughter a good start, and you, as a younger brother, should be considerate and supportive." We have discussed that we will return the remaining 600,000 yuan to you, do you think it's okay?”
What can be?Liu Ming sneered, "What I want is all the money, it doesn't matter to me what you discuss!."If Liu Qiang doesn't pay back all the 1.1 million today, I will go and tell all your relatives and friends, so that they all know what kind of person Liu Qiang is!”
You!"I was so angry that I couldn't speak, Liu Qiang had already lowered his head no longer.
Liu Ming, I know that this time I was wrong, I shouldn't have borrowed your money behind my wife's back. Liu Qiang finally spoke, "I really blame myself for causing you so much trouble." But Xiaofang really needs this money, so you should help your niece, and I will definitely find a way to pay it all off. ”
I don't care if she's my niece or not!Liu Ming sneered, "I want the money now, if you don't pay it back, I'll go to your wife's family and tell them the truth!."”
You!I couldn't hold back anymore, and I was about to have a seizure, when Liu Qiang grabbed me: "Don't be excited, I'll tell him." ”
Turning to Liu Ming, Liu Qiang's tone softened: "Brother, I know that I was wrong this time, and I shouldn't have borrowed money behind my family's back." You've helped me so much, I'll definitely find a way to pay it off. It's just that you really can't take out so much cash now, so you should tolerate me for the last time. Xiaofang is our family, don't embarrass her. ”
Liu Ming was silent, and his face finally softened: "Brother, I'm not an unreasonable person. It's just such a large sum of money, and it's hard for me to explain it myself. Can't you think of another way?”
I know that I will definitely find a way, don't leave today, and let's discuss it slowly. Liu Qiang patted his younger brother on the shoulder.
I looked at the two brothers and a glimmer of hope rose in my heart. After all, this matter is our family's business, and I believe that through communication, we will be able to find a solution and will not let this family break up.
So I asked Liu Ming to sit down in the living room first, brought tea, and communicated with him patiently.
Liu Ming took a sip of tea, and his face softened: "Sister-in-law, I'm not an unreasonable person, but such a large sum of money is really unreasonable." I am also a family person, how can I take the money from my family and lend it to others casually?”
You're right, it's true that we're not right in the first place. I nodded, "But if a person is not a sage, who can do nothing?"You should be tolerant of Liu Qiang for the last time. We will also try to pay this money off as soon as possible. ”
So what are you going to do to pay it back?How many installments?Liu Ming was still a little hesitant.
You have the final say, we'll all listen to you. Liu Qiang hurriedly said, "Otherwise, we will give you a fixed 10,000 yuan per month, and you can pay it off in two and a half years." I'll find a way to do more part-time jobs and never owe you money. ”
Liu Ming pondered for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, since we are brothers, I will believe you once." But the money must be paid off on time, and I can't be owed a penny!”
Definitely!I promise!Liu Qiang excitedly shook Liu Ming's hand.
I also breathed a sigh of relief and got up to add more tea to the two brothers. The turmoil finally subsided for the time being, but I knew in my heart that our life was destined to be even more difficult.
Wife, I'm sorry for causing you such a big trouble. Liu Qiang said to me guiltily.
It's okay, we're all together as a family, and there's no difficulty that can't be overcome. I comforted him.
This incident made me really realize that over the years, Liu Qiang has not only supported his family, but also been working hard to save money, just to give Xiaofang a good future. Now that I think about it, I should not blame him, but I should understand and support his good intentions.
Although there is still a long way to go, as long as we support each other, we will definitely be able to get through this difficulty. We'll work extra hard, think.
Try to pay off your debts as soon as possible and get your life back on track. More importantly, this incident made me see Liu Qiang's love for his family, which is more precious than anything else.
Wife, thank you for your hard work. Liu Qiang said gratefully.
Yes, we should be united as a family. I laughed.
After breakfast, Liu Ming was about to leave, Liu Qiang sent him to the door, and the two talked in a low voice.
Liu Ming, thank you very much. I'll definitely find a way to pay it back. ”
Brother, I believe you, don't mention the money. You and your sister-in-law take care of yourself. ”
My sister-in-law is so nice, and our family will come and go often in the future. Liu Ming said to me as he left.
I nodded: "We are a family, don't be angry, come to us if you have anything." ”
After seeing Liu Ming leave, Liu Qiang and I breathed a sigh of relief, and this turmoil finally passed temporarily.
Wife, I really know that I am wrong, and I will discuss anything with you first in the future. Liu Qiang said guiltily.
I also reflected, I should be more understanding and supportive of your intentions towards Xiaofang, and I shouldn't quarrel with you. I shook his hand and said, "We husband and wife should support each other and find ways to solve any difficulties together." ”
Yes, we must be more united. This time I learned a lesson and learned the importance of family. ”
Yes, affection is the most precious. We must cherish this home. ”
The occurrence of this incident made me suddenly realize that over the years, Liu Qiang has not only worked hard to support his family, but also been working hard to save money, just to give Xiaofang a good future. I should not blame him, but I should respect and understand his intentions.
After this incident, I understand and support Liu Qiang more. We decided to go ahead and use half of our savings to buy a house for Xiaofang and half to improve our lives. We will understand and support each other, work together to make money, and pay off our debts as soon as possible.
This turmoil has strengthened our relationship. We have learned to understand each other and face difficulties together. This is very important for our married life. In retrospect, it was an important milestone in our relationship, and it made our relationship deeper and more united as a family.
After this incident, Liu Qiang's life and I are finally on the right track.
We gave half of our savings to Xiaofang according to the plan, and she got the new house she wanted.
Dad, I'm so happy that my husband's housing problem and I have been solved!Xiao Fang said happily.
Dad just wants his daughter to live in a new house, and you have to live a good life with your husband in the future. Liu Qiang said with a smile.
We used the rest of our money to pay off our debts and moved into a two-bedroom apartment in a complex. It's not big, but I finally have my own home.
Wife, we finally have our own little family!Liu Qiang said happily.
Yes, all these years of struggle have not been in vain. "I'm also excited.
In the evening, our family gathered in Xiaofang's new house for dinner, and the atmosphere was warm and joyful.
Mom, Dad, thank you for nurturing me all these years. Xiao Fang said with red eyes.
Silly girl, parents' love for their children is unconditional. I stroked her hair.
Yes, we just want you to be happy. Liu Qiang was also very moved.
Brother, yesterday we were together as a family, and I suddenly missed you very much. Liu Qiang patted Liu Ming on the shoulder.
Brother, you're right. We need to be united as a family. Liu Ming was also very happy.
I am also very pleased to see that their brothers have such a good relationship. Now that we have overcome this difficult time, we will definitely be happier in the future.
This incident made me truly realize the importance of my family. Now we are in harmony as a husband and wife, and our family is united, which is the most valuable asset.
This turmoil has become an important growth experience for us. It deepens the bond between us and makes us a happier home. I am glad that we have overcome this difficult time together, and our lives will be better in the future.
