My name is Lin Xiaofang, I am 33 years old and I have been married for 10 years. My husband's name is Zhang Xiaoming, who is 5 years older than me. We were college classmates and slowly developed from friends to lovers, and got married after graduation.
In the past 10 years, although life has been dull, we have a good relationship. Xiao Ming is busy with work, so I take care of most of the things at home. He loves me, I understand him, and there are very few quarrels. Of course, there are trivial and small frictions, but they will all be reconciled quickly.
One day at the end of last year, I suddenly received a **, which was a colleague from Xiao Ming's company. He said incoherently: "Teacher Lin, it's not good, Xiao Ming suddenly fainted on the way to work, and he has been sent to the hospital!."”
I was stunned, and the phone in my hand fell to the ground with a "click". My mind went blank for a moment, and I couldn't understand what was going on. After a few seconds, I slowly came back to my senses and quickly asked, "He, how is he?"Did the person go to the hospital?”
The colleague said excitedly: "I have been sent to the hospital, come over quickly!".”
I grabbed my bag and rushed out, all the way to the hospital. I saw that Xiao Ming's colleague had already been outside the emergency room, and several other old colleagues who had worked together for many years were also there.
I asked breathlessly, "Old Zhou, what's wrong with Xiao Ming?"Is the condition serious?”
What?!I felt like the world was spinning, and I couldn't believe it, "Impossible!."We were eating and chatting together yesterday!He's always been in good health!”
I slumped on the bench with my legs limp. Tears flowed uncontrollably. Lao Zhou and other colleagues also had red circles under their eyes and looked solemn.
After a while, the doctor came out of the operating room.
Ms. Lin, I'm so sorry, we've done our best. Mr. Zhang's condition was too critical, and in the end, he could not be rescued and passed away. This must be a huge blow to your family, and we regret it. ”
The doctor's voice fell, and I just felt that the world was spinning, and my mind was blank.
Nope!Eventually, I broke out crying.
This is not true!This must be a nightmare!Obviously, Xiao Ming was fine a moment ago, why did he leave me like this in a blink of an eye?!
I really can't accept this fact. Lao Zhou, they also couldn't cry. The doctor and ** could only comfort me softly, saying that they could assist me in the necessary legal procedures and let me mourn and change.
After dealing with Xiao Ming's funeral, I returned home mechanically. Looking at the traces of our lives everywhere, I felt more and more that he was still talking and laughing and cooking with me yesterday. Why did he leave me like this today?
Tears flowed uncontrollably. I felt hopeless and helpless like never before. It turns out that life is so brittle.
Weak, it turns out that there are still too many unknown secrets between me and Xiao Ming.
When dealing with the aftermath, I slowly discovered that Xiao Ming hid a lot of things that he didn't tell me during his lifetime. For example, their company's project progress has not been smooth, and they work overtime until late to meet the deadline. For the sake of the project, Xiao Ming didn't need time to work at all, and he kept up with the schedule for a few days and nights, making his body dying.
I didn't expect Xiao Ming to be under so much pressure. At the beginning, he clearly promised to support each other in any difficulties, but he didn't expect him to bear so much alone.
Also, it turns out that we have very little deposit balance left. During this time, Xiao Ming kept working overtime, and I thought that his income would be very high, but I didn't know that he didn't have time to receive his salary when he worked overtime. I looked at the few numbers on my bank statement and was completely shocked.
Just when I was at a loss, a few men I didn't know rang the doorbell.
Ms. Lin?We were Mr. Zhang's creditors during his lifetime. His debt to us has not been paid off, and now that he is dead, we must recover this huge amount. Are you ready for this?”
Creditor?Xiao Ming still has huge debts that are not clear?I was dizzy by the sudden news.
Sir, you must have made a mistake. We don't owe anything!I explained in a panic.
It can't be wrong, the verification is clear. The amount is not small, it must be as much as 300,000 yuan!"The man was menacing.
The men were getting tougher and tougher, and I was driven to the pound. At this time, it dawned on me that Xiao Ming had been hiding so many secrets over the years!
Not only did I hide the huge pressure of my job, but I also took on unimaginable debts on my own!My wife didn't even know about it!
I sat on the ground, feeling hopeless than I had ever felt before. It turned out that Xiao Ming had borne huge debt pressure alone over the years, but my wife didn't know it. I can understand why he didn't tell me, probably because he didn't want me to worry. But now that the creditor has come to the door, the burden of life has all fallen on my shoulders alone, and I really can't afford it!
Please, I really don't know anything!I am a woman, I don't have any income, how can I withstand such a huge debt!I pleaded, "You've got the wrong person, I can't afford to pay this!."”
Whether or not to find the wrong person is secondary, the bill and signature are genuine. Now that the man is dead, you have to bear the responsibility for this debt by his name!”
Just then, a young man I had never seen before walked in. "Excuse me, is this lady Lin Xiaofang?Mr. Zhang's widow?He asked gently.
I nodded warily. This man's identity is so suspicious.
Go back first. This lady is already in a state of extreme grief, and I don't think it's good to pester her any longer. We will discuss the account issue later. He was gentle and resolute.
The bullies-like creditors seemed to be a little jealous of him, and they hesitated for a while before waving their hands and leaving. I breathed a sigh of relief, but asked him suspiciously, "Who are you?"”
I'm Du Zepeng, and I'm a salesman at Sunshine Life. I am sorry to hear that Mr. Zhang passed away, and I happened to have an insurance policy he purchased in my hand, so I specially sent it over. Here are the terms and instructions of the insurance, you can take a look. ”
Insurance?"I looked at the papers in confusion.
Yes. Last year, Mr. Zhang purchased an anti-cancer insurance in our company, and the beneficiary was Ms. Lin Xiaofang. This insurance is designed to prevent and treat malignant tumors and can cover all kinds of sudden medical expenses. Now, according to the terms, we will pay you a pension in the hope that we can help Mr. Zhang's family during this difficult time. ”
Thinking of Xiao Ming's various concealments and hard work before his death, my heart was torn apart. His hard work and responsibility, which I don't know, have turned into a warmth at this moment, illuminating my dark life!
