Five years ago, I came from your house and you asked me to give you money
Last night, my family was sitting around the living room **TV, and suddenly there was a knock on the door, I opened the door and saw my uncle.
My uncle was neatly dressed, holding a box of yogurt in his hand, and looking at me with a smile on his face.
I asked curiously, "Uncle, is there something wrong?" Why did it come all of a sudden? ”
He smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm idle, come and knock on the door." ”
I secretly thought to myself, when my uncle came, there must be something to discuss. He's not the kind of person who doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
After the uncle entered the house, he exchanged a few words with his parents, and then sat quietly watching TV, his eyes wandering, obviously having something to say.
After more than two hours, it was close to 11 o'clock, my mother yawned, indicating that she wanted to sleep, and my uncle finally spoke.
Brother, I need money urgently, can you lend it to me? He had a look of embarrassment on his face.
I was surprised and asked, "Borrow money?" How much? ”
He pondered for a moment and said, "I need to borrow 100,000." ”
I was shocked, "100,000? Uncle, our family doesn't have that much money. ”
He explained: "My brother is getting married, and the bride price and wedding expenses add up to a bit of a tight price. ”
My dad finally said, "Brother, our family doesn't have any extra money recently, so you better ask the others." ”
The uncle was silent for a while, and then said, "But I really need it urgently, otherwise I would be embarrassed to come to you." ”
My dad hesitated, "That's ......."We really don't need that much money. ”
The uncle said eagerly: "You are the only relatives I can borrow money from, if you don't help me, I really have nowhere to go." ”
When I heard this, I was a little moved, but I still insisted: "We are not without difficulties, you should find someone else." ”
The uncle showed a bitter smile: "I have already looked for it, but no one wants to lend it to me." ”
My dad looked at the uncle, and finally said hesitantly: "Okay, I'll give you 30,000 at most, and you have to find another way for the rest." ”
When the uncle heard this number, his face became a little ugly, but he finally accepted it.
He silently got up to say goodbye, and I looked at his back, feeling a little helpless. Five years ago, he had the same attitude when he wanted to borrow money, but now he doesn't want to lend it to him.
That night, there was an atmosphere of awkwardness and silence in the house. 
Five years ago, our family finally passed the audit and was ready to build a new house. But the path into my house is so narrow that ordinary trucks can't pass through it, and it costs extra to transport it by tractor.
Below this path is my uncle's vegetable garden, and our two family's fields are next to each other, but my family's road is concrete, while my uncle's vegetable field is a dirt road.
After discussing with my father, I decided to talk to my uncle to see if we could let a truck deliver building materials from their vegetable patch.
At first, we thought Uncle would agree. After all, he is his father's younger brother, and he will not be delayed for too long, the contractor said that it will be completed in two months.
However, we underestimated the uncle's reaction. He seemed to have expected that we would ask him for help, and he was very arrogant.
At first, he refused on the pretext that he was worried that the vegetable patch would be crushed, and then he found various reasons to refuse.
My father and I begged him for a long time, and the time was already very tight, and the engineering team urged us to make a decision, but my uncle just didn't agree.
When we decided to transport it by tractor, at the expense of increasing the cost, Uncle appeared again.
Dad was very happy at the time, thinking that the uncle still remembered the brotherhood. However, as soon as the uncle opened his mouth, he asked for 30,000 yuan.
30,000 yuan, just to use his land for two months! Two months later, the land was still his own.
Dad was silent, he didn't expect his own brother to be such a person. I also lost my liking for Uncle after that, and I only thought he was a snob.
Now, when he is in trouble, he thinks of us. Originally, we could have helped, but the phrase he once said, "My own family doesn't help", reminded me of everything in the past.
I don't think that my uncle would have one day begging for help.
We should cherish our loved ones and friends around us and lend a helping hand when they need help. Because the next person who needs help may be yourself.
