Every Chinese New Year, the workers go home with full expectations for reunion, but the reality is often not satisfactory. They have been working hard outside the home for a year, hoping to make their family's life better, but when they return home, they often face conflicts and betrayal between husband and wife. It seems that the night of reunion is full of hope and warmth, but it is often quarreled over trivial matters, and even leads to the breakdown of the relationship between husband and wife. This made the working brothers disheartened and doubted the meaning of making money.
Once, there was a part-time brother who worked outside the home all year round, bent on bringing a better life to his family. Every year for the Chinese New Year, he would go home, but this time, he returned to an empty home. Not only did his wife leave him, but she also left the child to take care of him alone. In the face of this sudden blow, the eldest brother was heartbroken, and he lay on the ground with his son in his arms and wept bitterly. His cry attracted the surrounding neighbors, some people just watching the excitement, and some kind people came forward to care for him. And although the son is still young, he quietly accompanies his father and silently bears this indescribable pain. The eldest brother was reluctant to tell what had happened to him, and he seemed to have fallen into the abyss of despair, holding his son in his arms, looking like he had lost hope. It wasn't until everyone's concern and curiosity forced him to reluctantly tell the truth of the matter: his wife was unfaithful to him and even abandoned his own children. The eldest brother said with emotion: "If this family is scattered, what is the point of making more money? He once thought that he could get his wife's understanding and support for the hard work he had put into his family, and the two could persevere together in difficult times. However, the reality is so cruel that the wife not only can't stand the loneliness, but also chooses to have an affair, and finally even her own biological children can be abandoned. The eldest brother was full of anger and helplessness, and could only hold his son and cry in pain.
The betrayal of this sister-in-law is undoubtedly an outrageous act, she betrayed her marriage and abandoned her family, which dealt a fatal blow to the family. But if you think about it carefully, there have been problems in their marriage for a long time, but this man has always neglected the management of family emotions and put all his thoughts on work. Maybe the wife once sent a signal for help, but because of the man's neglect, it was not taken seriously, and even became a joke. In marriage, not everything can be done as you like, it needs to be operated and maintained, and it needs to be created by both husband and wife. As the saying goes, "small holes don't make up, big holes suffer". If the small problems that accumulate over time are not resolved in time, it can eventually lead to the breakdown of the marriage.
Marriage is an edifice that needs to be maintained together, not simply building blocks. If the husband and wife do not know how to read words and feelings, find problems in time and solve them, then it is difficult for the marriage to be stable for a long time. In the case of this eldest brother, he has always put his work first and neglected his wife's feelings and needs. Perhaps the wife has been silently suffering from loneliness and helplessness, while the man has turned a blind eye. When the rift in his marriage became more and more obvious, he still chose to escape and was unwilling to face the reality. However, marriage is not a one-person game, but a joint effort of two people. Only when husband and wife stand on the same front can they overcome difficulties together and maintain the stability of their marriage.
This story made me think about what it means to make money. Migrant workers work outside the home, working hard to make money, and have always thought that it is to bring a better life to their families. However, when families break up and marriages disintegrate, they suddenly discover that making money is not the answer to everything. It got me thinking, what exactly is the point of making money?
Making money is not only necessary for life, but more importantly, for realizing the value of one's life. Each of us has dreams and pursuits, and making money can provide substantial support for our dreams. For example, some people dream of starting a business, and the money can be used to realize their business plan; Some people dream of becoming artists, and earning money can provide a stable income and allow them to focus more on their creations. Making money can create more opportunities and choices for us to live a more colorful life.
However, we can't just look at making money as being for our own benefit. Making money should be for the development and progress of society. There are many social problems and difficulties in the world, such as poverty, disease, environmental pollution, and so on. Making money can provide solutions to these problems and can contribute to society. For example, someone has used their professional knowledge and skills to innovate an environmentally friendly material that can help reduce environmental pollution; A charity was set up to help poor children get better education and living conditions. These people are not only for making money, but also for the well-being of society, in order to make a better life for more people.
To sum up, the meaning of making money is not just for yourself, and not just for your family. It is to realize one's dreams and pursuits, in order to contribute to society. When we earn enough money, don't forget the importance of family and don't neglect the bond of marriage. Because only when the family is harmonious and stable, can our life truly become full and meaningful.
