My name is Lin Xiaofen, I am 33 years old this year, I work as an accountant in a foreign company, and my monthly salary is 6,000 yuan. I am already married, and my husband's name is Wang Qiang, and like me, he is also an office worker. We live in the city and live a decent life.
Two months ago, I received an a** from my mother who said she had a physical problem and needed surgery. I anxiously asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"Is there something wrong with it?Mom whispered in **: "Maybe there is a heart problem and an operation is needed, and the doctor said that the cost will be very high." "I was very worried, so my mother told me to pay attention to my body, and I would find a way to solve the problem of money.
Hung up**, I sat on the couch and fell into deep thought. Wang Qiang looked at my sad face and asked with concern: "Xiaofen, is your mother unwell?"I told him a brief explanation, and then said listlessly, "Mom needs a major surgery, the cost must be very high, and I'm really stressed right now." ”
Wang Qiang comforted me and said, "Xiaofen, don't worry about it first, we can find a way." Otherwise, your brother is just going to buy a house, right, we can lend him money as a down payment, and he will definitely pay it back in the future anyway. Do you see it?”
I hesitated and said, "It's not impossible, but to lend so much money, 300,000 yuan, it's quite stressful for us." And my brother's boy, if he doesn't admit it one day, what should we do then?”
Wang Qiang said: "Don't worry, he is your younger brother after all, and he shouldn't cheat his family." Let's just help him, and he'll be grateful. You should arrange your mother's surgery first, and the problem of money will be solved slowly. ”
I thought quietly for a while, and suddenly my eyes were sour, and I hugged Wang Qiang and whispered, "I'm sorry, I only thought about myself and didn't take into account your hard work." In fact, it is also difficult for you, and you have to share my troubles. ”
Wang Qiang touched his head and said, "We are a family, and your business is my business." Hurry up and call your aunt, tell her that the cost of the operation is ready, and tell her to rest assured. ”
Hanging up on my mother's **, I sat on the bed and fell into deep thought. My relationship with my mother has always been very good, she gave me so much love, and now I am seriously ill in bed, I can't bear to see her suffer like this. Wang Qiang treats me very well, and never shirks when encountering major events, which makes me feel that I have the most reliable backing in the world. Of course, my relationship with my brother is not so simple.
Lin Xiaoming is my younger brother, we grew up together, and the relationship is okay. But I always feel that his personality is a bit unreliable, and he often tries to take advantage of some loopholes. This time he wanted to buy a house, and he suddenly asked me for so much money, which was really beyond my expectations. I'm a little worried that if he lends so much money, will he be perfunctory and trap me and Wang Qiang.
At this time, Wang Qiang came over and sat next to me. He seemed to guess what I was thinking, and said softly, "Xiaofen, I know you're worried about your brother. But if a person is not a sage, who can be without fault?After all, he is your loved one, and now you are in trouble, and you should give him support and help. Don't take the money matter to heart, let's solve it slowly. ”
I sighed and said, "I see what you mean. He's my brother, and I shouldn't have speculated about him like that, but. Wang Qiang touched his head and said: "With me here, don't worry, I will do work with your brother, I believe he will not do anything that falls apart." Just take care of your mom with all your might. ”
I thought about it and decided to give my mother a ** and listen to her opinion. As soon as I connected, I couldn't help but say: "Mom, Xiaoming is going to borrow a lot of money, I'm worried that he won't pay it back in the future, what should I do about this?".”
Mom was on the other end of the **, and said in a weak voice: "Xiaofen, you and Xiaoming have been brothers and sisters since childhood, he is really in trouble, you should help him." When it comes to money, mom, you can make your own decisions, mom just needs to be healthy.
Hearing my mother say this, my eyes turned red. As I replayed the past in my mind, I suddenly felt as if I had become numb and indifferent, and I was even concerned about this amount of money for my loved ones. I said to Wang Qiang: "Then lend it to Xiaoming first, I believe he will not let us down." ”
After careful consideration, I decided to accept Wang Qiang's suggestion to borrow 300,000 yuan to my younger brother Lin Xiaoming as a down payment, so that his dream of buying a house would come true. Lin Xiaoming was very excited, and repeatedly promised that he would repay the money on time.
At first, Lin Xiaoming also transferred money to me on time every month. Looking at the number added to my bank account, I was secretly relieved that I had been overly worried. Wang Qiang praised me with a smile: "I'll just say it, I believe that my brother is right, he will prove himself." ”
But the good times didn't last long, and after two months, Lin Xiaoming began to push back, saying that his company's performance was not good, and he was temporarily in financial difficulties, so I asked him to grace him to repay the loan for another two months. After discussing with Wang Qiang, I decided to give my brother a few months of grace first.
As a result, Lin Xiaoming not only didn't move after two months, but also didn't pick up my ** directly. I was worried that something had happened to my brother, so I asked his friends and found out that he had recently been addicted to gambling and had incurred a debt to a loan shark.
This stinky boy, I thought he was really in trouble, it turned out that he went to gamble again!"I'm angry and worried, Lin Xiaoming is such an unsuccessful person, I don't have any hope. But at this time, my mother's condition deteriorated and she needed surgery as soon as possible. After discussing with Wang Qiang, I decided to take out the money from my savings first** my mother.
Since my brother can't pay the money, we have to figure it out by ourselves. Wang Qiang comforted me, "Your mother's surgery is important, don't think so much about money." "My heart is warm, and I am glad that I have such a person to rely on.
Finally, my mother completed the operation, and although she is still observing, the overall condition has stabilized. During this time, I was exhausted and had physical problems. Wang Qiang was so distressed to see me working so hard and worrying about the patients.
One night, he sat on the edge of my bed and said to me earnestly, "Xiaofen, I know that you work hard for your family, but you also have to take care of your body. Don't let us lose you again after saving your mother. ”
I burst into tears when I heard this: "I'm sorry, it's me who doesn't value myself too much." From now on, I will remember your words and don't let myself be so tired. Wang Qiang touched his head and said gently: "Have a good rest, I will." ”
Just when Wang Qiang and I finally saw some hope, I received Lin Xiaoming's first ** in more than a month.
Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't dare to contact you during this time because I had a car accident and was seriously injured and had just been discharged from the hospital. Lin Xiaoming's voice sounded weak.
I asked anxiously, "Xiaoming, are you okay?"Hurt **?How is your body recovering now?”
Lin Xiaoming said: "I broke my leg and had some soft tissue injuries on my body, and I have been in the hospital during this time. The doctor said that he would need to recuperate for two months before he could recover basically. As soon as I had my last surgery, I would give you a ** call as soon as possible. I'm really sorry to have worried you in vain. ”
Only then did I realize that it was not my brother who deliberately lost contact, but also suffered misfortune. Although I don't have expectations for him to pay off his debts, I feel sorry for his injury.
Xiaoming, the most important thing for you now is to recover your body, and we will talk slowly about money, you must pay attention to safety. "I couldn't help but cry.
Wang Qiang also advised me not to blame myself, this accident is not my responsibility. He encouraged me to be strong and optimistic, and I believe that Lin Xiaoming will slowly regain his strength.
After being discharged from the hospital, Lin Xiaoming started to work as a takeaway, and although his income was not much, he insisted on giving me a little money every month. Seeing him working with a limp, my heart hurts.
Perhaps, I shouldn't have been prejudiced against my brother's abilities in the first place, he was already trying his best to turn over. I decided to take the initiative to give Lin Xiaoming more care and support, instead of blindly criticizing.
At a family gathering, I sat down next to Lin Xiaoming with food, touched his head and said, "Brother, my sister blames herself for letting you suffer so many crimes." I will always be with you in the future, and I will tell you if you have any difficulties. ”
Lin Xiaoming was very excited and promised me that I would work hard and pay off all the arrears as soon as possible. Wang Qiang also encouraged Lin Xiaoming to have confidence.
This experience made me truly realize that the most precious feelings between relatives far exceed the value of money. I would also like to thank Wang Qiang for his support and understanding all the time, which has made our home warmer.
