The moment he put down the phone, Sing's tears rolled down ...... this is the fifth time his brother asked for money, a month in a row, five phone calls, even in the heat of summer, Sing's heart is stinging cold.

01 Because of business, the family all avoid me.

Three months ago, Bringer took over a store, operating a cosmetics business, with a total investment of more than 300,000 yuan, and she borrowed 30,000 yuan from her brother. Due to the impact of the epidemic, business is not very prosperous, and the debt must be repaid, but now Bringer is struggling. She has to pay her debts on time, otherwise, she will lose her credit and involve her children. Ice's children are very good, and she can't let herself be affected by them.

She knows that her brother is not in a hurry to spend money now because he is worried that she won't be able to pay back the money if her business loses money. Not only does her brother treat her this way, but her relatives at home avoid her, fearing that she will ask them to borrow money, even her husband.

She temporarily borrowed her husband's six hundred because of the urgent need for money, usually send a message, her husband rarely replied, but when she transferred money to her husband, people are seconds to receive. She felt particularly speechless at once. Therefore, she would rather borrow money from the Internet, borrow money from friends, rather than ask relatives.

Reflections

02 You haven't bought a car yet? Your family is the only one without a car among your siblings!

Jung Roy is a well-behaved woman, as her name suggests, quiet and gentle. But the family is not rich, she and her husband are both temporary workers, every day from early morning to late night, overtime, desperately working, but only a pitiful salary, and because it is a temporary worker, there is no "five insurance three gold" protection.

In her words, as long as they are well-fed and clothed, she can't afford to buy a car, and she can't afford to keep it. Usually like to read the Jung Roy, know that the poor or less good to go to relatives.

But, the New Year, always have to go back, and, always meet many relatives. She doesn't like it when relatives make fun of her and ask her how much money she makes. When will she buy a car?

They know the actual situation of her family, but they still like to comment on her life. Every time she goes back, she works in silence, whether it's cooking or washing dishes, everyone is used to her doing it alone, after all, she is the poorest!

03 from talking to silence, she experienced what?

Xiao Qian's daughter was sick, depressed, and mild. Initially, her daughter often run away from home, secretly hiding in the hallway, hiding alone in the basement, or running to the roof.

Every time she could not find her daughter, Siu Sin would mobilize relatives and family members to look for her, whether it was the hot sun, or flying snow, as long as she could not find her daughter, she would call relatives one by one.

Initially, relatives will also be on call and take time off to help find the child, but over time, more times, relatives are not on call, after all, everyone also has their things to do.

Initially, Fuchsia-sting always talks to relatives about the child, and family matters, always hoping that others can save her daughter. Later, Fuchsia-using silence, no longer every person to tell the suffering, closed the door, to their digestion.

04 "What to bring my brother, what to take my sister?" "Where is your sister?"

Ling Ling has a brother, a sister, and a younger sister. In addition to the sister does not work, she and her brother and sister not only have a decent jobs but also have a superior family situation. Whenever she goes on a trip, she always thinks of bringing something rare for her brother and sister

Whenever she talked about the gifts she brought for her brother and sister, people were too embarrassed to break it to their faces, after all, it was her family business. But when she is not in the office, people will still talk about her, after all, we all know that she has a sister who has a very difficult life.

It is undeniable that her brother and sister also travel a lot and often bring her gifts, while her sister? Surely there is no money to go out and travel, much less spend money to bring gifts to everyone.

The above few small incidents are real cases that happened to me. Who is right and who is wrong, who is right and who is wrong, there is no definite conclusion, after all, the identity is different, the status is different, the feeling will be different, and, everyone can stand in their position to say the most appropriate reasoning.

05 And I? Just want to say -

This is a realistic society, realistic no matter how noble you are, in front of the cruel reality, can only choose to bow down and accept. Once young and crazy, once powerless and struggling, but then later, I learned to look down and let go.

After all, life is limited, life is good, I do not want to live a limited life, complaining, depressed, and resentful. In this world, no one owes you, including your relatives and friends, helping you is love, not helping in nature.

In this world, there are always people who are better than you, and there are always people who are not as good as you, but there is no need to hold high and step on low, and make friends with people, make friends in the heart, common in love, such as the ability to extend a warm hand, pay kind love; if the ability is not enough, keep silent and respectful, do not talk about the shortcomings of people, do not reveal people's scars, do not disturb the happiness of others

Always live beautifully with a grateful heart in this not-so-beautiful world. Those who have helped themselves, whether they are friends or relatives, should be remembered and always ready to return the benefactor; those who have hurt themselves, no matter who they are, let them go with the wind.

My heart is not big enough to hold the vastness of the world, so let's hold those kind people and those wonderful things.
