My name is Lin Yue, and I am an ordinary office worker living in a corner of this bustling city. I have a younger brother named Lin Hao, who is five years younger than me and is in college. Although there is an age gap between us, I have always tried my best to be a good sister and help him as much as I can.
However, my in-laws' family was a relatively wealthy family. My husband is the only child in the family, and my parents-in-law are both successful entrepreneurs, and their wealth accumulation has made our material life carefree. But I always understood that this wealth was not my own, and I never wanted to rely on it to change my life.
One day, Lin Hao suddenly found me, his eyes were full of expectation: "Sister, your mother-in-law's family is so rich, can't you help me buy a house for 1.2 million?" ”
I was stunned, the question caught me off guard. I know that Lin Hao has always longed to own a house of his own, but I also know that this is not a simple matter. I hesitated, then shook my head slightly, "Hao, you know I can't do this. My in-laws' money is their hard-earned money, and I can't make decisions to help them make decisions. ”
Lin Hao's eyes immediately dimmed, and he looked at me with some disappointment: "Sister, I just want to have my own home, why is it so difficult?" ”
I looked at him distressedly and touched his head: "Hao, I know you want a home, but you also have to understand that there are many things in life that we need to work hard for. You can try to apply for some loans or get a part-time job and slowly build up your wealth. This way, you can truly own your own home. ”
Lin Hao was silent for a while, then nodded: "Sister, I understand." I'll try for it. ”
However, things are not as simple as I thought. Not long after, I received Lin Hao's **, and his voice was full of anxiety: "Sister, I'm in trouble, I need your help!" ”
I hurried to where he was, only to see Lin Hao standing there with an anxious face, and a strange man standing beside him. I immediately realized something and nervously asked, "Hao, what's going on?" ”
Lin Hao looked at me, his eyes were full of helplessness: "Sister, I borrowed a loan shark in order to buy a house. But now, I can't repay the money on time, and they threaten me with something to do to me if I don't. ”
I looked at him in shock, unable to believe that he would make such a decision. I took a deep breath and tried to stay calm: "Hao, don't panic first, we'll find a way to solve it." ”
I turned to look at the strange man and tried to calm things down: "Please give me some time, I will raise funds as soon as possible to pay off this debt." ”
The man sneered: "Time? I don't have that much patience. If you can't make your payments on time, don't blame me for being unkind. ”
I gritted my teeth, my heart filled with helplessness and anger. I know that all this is caused by my doting on Lin Hao. I should have told him earlier that the difficulties in life need to be faced and solved by oneself, rather than relying on others for help.
Now, I can only do my best to save the situation. I took a deep breath and looked at Lin Hao firmly: "Hao, you have to remember the lesson this time. In the future, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must learn to face and solve them by yourself. I'll help you with this, but you have to promise me not to do anything risky like this in the future. ”
Lin Hao looked at me, tears flashing in his eyes: "Sister, I know it's wrong." I will remember this lesson and will definitely work harder in the future. ”
I held his hand tightly, my heart filled with determination and hope. I know that no matter what difficulties and challenges we face in the future, we will face them hand in hand and meet every challenge in life together.
