The list of high-quality authors The orchard was demolished and lost 2.1 million, and I asked my eldest sister to come back and share the money, but she said that she was not qualified to take it.
My name is Xu Meiqin, I am 40 years old and I live in a beautiful rural area. Since I got married, I have been living with my husband and in-laws. The family has a vast orchard, which is carefully managed by the in-laws, and is able to obtain a good harvest every year.
My in-laws are focused on managing the orchard, and I had planned to wait for my children to get a little older and go out to find a job, hoping to ease the burden on the family. However, because the in-laws were busy with orchard affairs, they could not find time to help take care of the children.
In order to cope with the reality, I had to stay at home to take care of the children while taking time out to help my in-laws manage the orchard. The main economic ** of the family still depends on the hard work of the in-laws, although the husband has been working hard, but the harvest of the orchard has brought a stable income to the family. If we didn't have the income from the orchard, relying only on my husband's odd job income, I'm afraid we would have fallen into poverty a long time ago.
My husband also has an older sister, and according to my husband, this orchard was planted at the insistence of my eldest sister.
At that time, ** vigorously supported the planting of fruit trees, and the eldest sister resolutely funded the purchase of a large number of fruit seedlings and planted them on a wasteland.
At the beginning, my in-laws complained about my eldest sister's decision, thinking that she was tossing around and wasting money. However, as the survival rate of the fruit trees soared, and two years later the harvest was harvested, and the orchard brought considerable financial returns to the family, and the responsibility of the in-laws disappeared.
Speaking of my eldest sister, her life is not easy. Her husband suffered a spinal injury in his early years while working in the well team, and he was no longer able to stand and often had to use a wheelchair. Families can't do without people to take care of them.
In addition to this, they have two young children who also need to be cared for. Since the family could not live without the economy, the eldest sister had no choice but to bring her widowed mother-in-law, who was more than eighty years old, to live.
Despite her advanced age, her mother-in-law was able to cook at least three meals a day to ensure that her husband and children did not go hungry. After solving these worries, the eldest sister can go out to work with peace of mind and work hard to maintain the livelihood of the whole family.
Due to the eldest sister's lack of education, she couldn't find a better job, so she had to work as a cleaner in the hotel, earning only more than 4,000 yuan per month. This money is barely enough to support the family's basic living expenses and barely enough to keep them from starving.
Seeing the plight of my eldest sister's family, I really wanted to lend a hand, but unfortunately my own ability was limited. My husband and I also have two children, who are about the same age as my eldest sister's two children. Since I didn't have a job, the whole family could only count on the orchard.
Although the orchard is quite producing, the market is not good, we work hard all year long, and the income is only enough to maintain the family's food and clothing, and there is really no extra money to support the eldest sister's family.
Every time my in-laws mention my eldest sister, I always sigh that her fate was bumpy, and she met such a husband, which made her life so difficult. Perhaps this is the misfortune of life, dooming a person's fate.
The eldest sister looked at the sheep in front of her, and felt quite emotional, especially the sheep in this wax moon, the legendary woman who belonged to the sheep had a bad fate, and this statement seemed to have been verified in her.
After learning that the orchard would be expropriated for the construction of a highway, I was very excited, and I couldn't wait to share the good news with my eldest sister as soon as possible.
Although my eldest sister and I don't usually see each other, the two of us have always maintained close contact, and we will talk about our hearts and minds when we have nothing to do.
This orchard was originally planted by my eldest sister, but now it has finally ushered in such a good thing, so my first thought is to share this joy with my eldest sister.
When the eldest sister heard my words, she was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Congratulations, it seems that you are a lucky star who has brought good luck to our family." ”
I hurriedly corrected her, saying that it should be congratulations! The eldest sister echoed with a smile: "Yes, congratulations to us!" ”
At that time, the compensation had not yet been finalized, and the relevant authorities needed to measure the orchard before the final amount could be finalized.
But I have decided that no matter what the compensation is, I will not hesitate to give a third of the compensation to my eldest sister.
Two months later, the compensation finally came down, and the total amount was 2.1 million. I hurriedly called my eldest sister ** and invited her to come back!
When my eldest sister came home from work that night, her in-laws prepared a hearty meal for us. As everyone sat around the dinner table, my father-in-law, as the elder of the family, spoke first, saying that I have two children and have not yet bought a house. Considering the need for children to go to the town to study in the future, they need to buy a house, so it is proposed to give 1.15 million to our family.
The remaining 950,000 yuan went to my father-in-law, mother-in-law and my eldest sister, and each received 300,000 yuan. Another 50,000 yuan will be used for the renovation of the old house, and it is planned to add a layer on top of it.
After the father-in-law finished speaking, everyone expressed their opinions. I was the first to object, pointing out that if it weren't for my eldest sister's insistence, we wouldn't have been able to own this orchard. Without this orchard, where would the compensation be paid?
Therefore, I proposed to divide the compensation into three parts, 700,000 yuan each, to my in-laws, us and my eldest sister.
After hearing this, the eldest sister waved her hand and said, "No, no need, I am already married, and I am not qualified to share this money again!" Don't say 700,000, even give me 10,000, I'm embarrassed to take it! Hearing such a response, I followed and said, "Sister, if you don't feel qualified, then we don't have any." When I first bought fruit seedlings, I didn't spend a penny, and I didn't participate in the planting of fruit trees! ”
My in-laws have no objection to my statement, after all, everyone knows the current situation of my eldest sister and wants to do their best to help her. If I don't bring it up, my in-laws probably won't take the initiative to mention three parts, after all, we have been living with them, and they may also be worried that I have other ideas.
Under my strong persuasion, the eldest sister finally agreed to get the 700,000. She said that if we lack money to buy a house in the future, we can borrow from her. The 700,000 is intended to be saved as real estate, and can be accessed at any time when we need it.
Hearing my eldest sister's statement, my heart warmed, knowing that she is an open-minded person, and she can always repay those who are good to her wholeheartedly. Because of this, it is even more pitiful, and it also makes me try to persuade my in-laws to divide the compensation equally among my eldest sister. After getting our part of the compensation, my husband and I chose to spend 600,000 yuan to buy a small two-bedroom elevator room in a community near the town middle school, and invested another 100,000 yuan in decoration.
In order to be closer to our family, we decided to live with our in-laws, who chose a unit adjacent to us and purchased a house the size of our family. In this way, we can easily take care of the two elderly people, and they can also help to take care of the children at any time.
Buying a house was necessary for us, especially considering that in the future two children will need to go to school in the town. However, this decision also made our finances worse, because apart from the cost of the house, we had no other financial ** and even lost our orchard.
My husband originally wanted to find a part-time job in the town, but because he was used to a free lifestyle, he didn't want to be tied down. After careful consideration, we decided to rent a shop in front of the community and open a mini-supermarket.
However, considering the renovation and start-up capital, we need about $200,000. The current financial situation made it impossible for us to bear this burden, so we had to borrow money from relatives and aunts.
The eldest sister fulfilled her previous promise, and as soon as she learned that we were in trouble, she transferred 200,000 yuan without saying a word.
Our supermarket has been in operation for a whole year and business is going well. In two months, we plan to pay off the money my eldest sister lent us completely. My husband and I agreed that we were going to pay her back 230,000 yuan, and that 30,000 yuan would be regarded as the interest she deserved. Considering that the eldest sister works hard to maintain the family, we empathize and understand the difficulty. As a loved one, we hope to provide her with some help.
