My name is Xiaojie, and I have two uncles, one is the eldest uncle and the other is the second uncle. The two of them have very different personalities and treat me very differently.
Uncle is my closest elder and has been very good to me since I was a child. When I was in secondary school, my family was unable to provide for me due to financial difficulties, so my uncle took me to his house and bought me books and clothes.
Later, he also sponsored me to go to college.
At one point, I was so sick that I was hospitalized and needed surgery, but my family couldn't afford to pay for the medical bills.
Uncle did not hesitate to take out his savings and pay 70,000 yuan for my medical expenses.
If it weren't for my uncle's help, I would have lost the opportunity to continue my studies, let alone my current job. Therefore, I am grateful to my uncle.
The second uncle is the complete opposite. He was stingy and never cared about our family. After my parents divorced, he even cut off contact with us for fear that we would ask him for money.
It wasn't until 5 years ago, when the second uncle was seriously ill and needed a blood transfusion, but he couldn't find anyone willing to donate blood, so he remembered to contact us.
Although my father was dissatisfied, he still went to the hospital to donate blood to help Erbo tide over the difficulties.
So, the second uncle contacted us again.
A few days ago, Uncle ushered in his sixtieth birthday. I took a day off, booked a high-end restaurant in advance, and spent 20,000 yuan to invite my uncle and other relatives to dinner.
I know Uncle doesn't like extravagance, but that's the only way I can show my gratitude.
Unexpectedly, a month later, the second uncle also ushered in his sixtieth birthday.
We bought a simple shou peach, held a simple celebration at home, and then left separately. I gave the second uncle a red envelope of 200 yuan and wanted to leave.
However, the second uncle suddenly grabbed me and asked why the uncle could spend 20,000 yuan to hold a banquet, and he only received a red envelope of 200 yuan, whether it was because I looked down on him.
I replied directly: "Uncle is kind to me, of course I will try my best to repay him." You never cared about our family, giving you red envelopes is already your face, what else do you want?”
The second uncle angrily kicked me out of the house and scolded me for being unfilial. I didn't bother to pay attention to him and just left.
After that, the second uncle spread bad things about me among the relatives, saying that I was favoritism and favoritism, and that I was ungrateful and that he had saved my life in vain.
I replied directly to my relatives: "I am not ungrateful, but I can distinguish between big and small favors." If it weren't for my uncle's sponsorship of my schooling, I wouldn't have had the chance to live until now, let alone have my current job.
In comparison, you only saved my life by donating blood back then, and it can't be compared to my uncle's kindness at all. I'm not partial to the uncle, I'm just repaying the benefactor, what are your dissatisfactions?
Seeing that I was justified and reasonable, my relatives supported and approved of my response. The second uncle was speechless by my rebuttal, and he could only hold his breath and not be able to attack.
Since then, I have not been in touch with my second uncle's family. I didn't bother to care what he thought of me, after all, I knew my own mind.
