At the end of life, the true meaning of filial piety is sometimes not in words and expressions before death, but more in the afterlife. This true emotion is presented in a moment of parting that cannot be concealed.
A 72-year-old man named Uncle Liu recently went to the hospital to visit his 75-year-old brother. When saying goodbye, my brother quietly handed over a sum of 280,000 yuan to Uncle Liu and entrusted him with an important task.
The core of this task is to observe which of his two sons is willing to take care of his post-death affairs for him after his death, and which is the real giver, and who will give the money to him. If neither meets a satisfactory standard, then the money will become Uncle Liu's exclusive.
At first, Uncle Liu did not fully understand the deep meaning of this arrangement. However, since the death of his brother, Uncle Liu began to have a deeper understanding of the behavior of his two sons in the following days, and finally made him realize the truth of the matter.
Not long ago, my eldest nephew called** and told my brother that I should rush to the hospital to visit him as soon as possible. After receiving **, I immediately stopped two shuttle buses and rushed from the countryside to the county seat.
On the way, I felt a lot of worry in my heart. Because I know that my brother has been a strong person all his life, even if he is sick, he is not willing to let others worry about it, and even when he is in poor health, he will try to move forward and do not want to bow to the hospital.
This time, he even took the initiative to ask my eldest nephew to contact me, which made me feel more and more that something might not be good. Two years ago, my brother was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
In the past two years, he insisted on prolonging his life through drugs** and chemotherapy, although the disease was slightly delayed, but it was only a temporary remission. Maybe one day in the future, I won't be able to see him again.
When I arrived at the hospital, I found my brother lying on the bed, with two eldest nephews by his side, one carefully feeding and the other concentrating.
I couldn't help but smile at this heartwarming scene in front of me, and the worries I had just had were put behind me in an instant. My brother noticed my arrival and immediately asked me to come and sit down, and my two nephews politely gave way to me, and I sat down on the edge of my brother's bed and began to feed him carefully.
During the meal, my brother motioned for his two nephews to leave for a while, hoping to talk to me alone. After the two nephews left, the smile on his brother's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a touch of worry.
I looked at my brother's worried expression and quickly reassured, "Brother, you really don't have to worry too much. Although these two nephews usually live a bit chic and don't seem to be filial enough, they are always by your side when you need it most. ”
In fact, the elder brother has long noticed that the two nephews are not very filial. At the beginning, he said that he would leave the money to his son, who was more filial, but he just had the last glimmer of hope.
However, the elder brother was more motivated by the desire to leave his property to my younger brother. On the one hand, this can avoid conflicts between the two brothers because of property. On the other hand, it can be regarded as a tactful way to get me to accept the money. My brother knew that if he suddenly said that he wanted to leave the money to me, I would never accept it.
After learning all this, I was moved to tears again. Life, no matter how hard it is, what I am most afraid of is that I have put all my efforts into treating my children, but in the end I can't get their sincerity.
Fortunately, my brother still has my younger brother and my daughter who is married far away in the end. Someone is missing him, which can be regarded as a little comfort in his life.
