One is free, the other goes to hell
My name is Zhao Ming, I come from an ordinary family, and my parents are ordinary workers. I've loved reading since I was a child, and after graduating from college, I became a librarian. My life was uneventful until that ill-fated fall.
On that day, I worked in the library as usual. A girl named Li Ting broke into my life. She borrowed me an ancient book, and I was fascinated by her beauty and innocence. We started to communicate frequently, I taught her how to read ancient books, and she shared with me the trivia of her life. Our relationship gradually warmed up, and before long, we fell in love.
However, the happy days did not last long. Li Ting's family situation is not good, and her parents are in urgent need of money. In order to solve her predicament, I took out my own savings and even borrowed money from friends, but it was still far from enough. In the end, Li Ting chose to borrow money from loan sharks to solve her urgent needs.
Things didn't go as smoothly as we thought they would. Li Ting's father needs a lot of medical expenses because of a car accident, and the loan sharks are pressing step by step. Li Ting fell into despair, and I began to run around looking for a solution. Eventually, I found a part-time job that, although hard, was able to pay for Li Ting's father's medical expenses and loan shark interest.
While I struggled hard, Li Ting became more and more silent. She began to experience a lot of stress and pain on her own, and even began to distance herself from me. I felt very uneasy, but I still tried my best to understand her and support her.
Finally, one day, Li Ting told me that she was leaving me. She said she didn't want to drag me down any longer and get me into a deeper predicament. I couldn't accept this fact, and I told her that I would always be there for her, and that we would face it together no matter what difficulties we encountered. However, she insisted on leaving me, and I had no choice but to respect her decision.
However, it didn't end there. After Li Ting left me, the loan sharks found me. They threatened me that if I didn't help Li Ting pay off her debts, they would find me and my family in constant trouble. I was in a huge dilemma and didn't know how to fix it.
I tried to contact Li Ting, but she never responded to my messages. I went to look for her, but her family told me she had left the city and didn't know where to go. I felt very helpless and hopeless and didn't know how to face this problem.
Eventually, I was forced to sell my house and.
car to repay the loan shark. My life was in shambles, and I couldn't find Li Ting to explain it all to her. I don't know if she knows what I've been through, but I want her to see my dedication and effort.
This story made me deeply aware of the impact of money on life and the helplessness and cruelty in reality. I hope that through this story, it can resonate and think about people, and make us cherish every moment of our lives and the people around us more.
