"No one believes and does not stand", many people have heard such an old saying.
Jiangsu Rugao, there is an old mother, in order to pay off the debt of her son who died unexpectedly, she resolutely went out to work in the year of Hua Jia, and paid off the debt in 10 years, which touched many netizens.
The late son left more than 500,000 yuan in debt
Ten years ago, Cong Huiyu's only son, Hong Yong, died unexpectedly, leaving the couple with endless pain and a grandson who was only 6 years old.
And when the creditors came to the door, they knew that the son had owed more than 500,000 yuan in debt, including bank loans, when he ran the decoration company, which was undoubtedly an astronomical amount for the old man who had been farming all his life.
Because they gave up the right to inherit their son's property, in the legal sense, the old couple did not have the obligation to "repay the child's debts to the parents", but they believed that "it is not easy for people to make money, and the debts we owe must be repaid." ”
With her son's death compensation, some of the project money that arrived, and the assistance given by relatives, Cong Huiyu and her husband cobbled together to pay off the bank loan and some scattered arrears.
At this time, there was no money available in the family, but the grandson had to go to school, and the wages of the workers in the decoration company before the son's death had not been repaid... The old couple discussed and decided to work part-time to earn money to pay off debts.
"Over-aged dishwashers" work to pay off debts
In order to make more money, the family's farmland was replanted with vegetables, her husband worked everywhere, and Cong Huiyu became an "over-aged dishwasher" in the restaurant. Every day I wake up and start working, often hanging noodles with soy sauce and mixing it with a meal.
In 2016, Cong Huiyu's husband died unexpectedly in a traffic accident, and the burden of paying off debts fell on her alone. In order to increase her income, she is very calculating, washing nearly a thousand dishes a day at most. Every day, I get up at 3:30 a.m. to take care of the vegetable patch, go to the restaurant to wash dishes and vegetables during the day, and continue to work in the field after returning home at 10 o'clock at night.
In 2018, Cong Huiyu took the initiative to find the staff of the Rugao court and asked him to help contact one of the workers under her son's predecessor.
It turned out that shortly after Hong Yong's death that year, the workers Impersonation and Zhou filed a lawsuit with the court for salary. Because Hong Yong had long been divorced, the court ordered the 6-year-old grandson to pay off the debt to the actual value of the inheritance. Later, because the child was too young, the court ruled to terminate the enforcement procedure.
With the passage of time, the family has long lost hope in this money, and the contact number has changed. Later, Cong Huiyu found the village where Mao was located, inquired from house to house, and finally paid off the arrears.
Cong Huiyu said: "I told the person who sued at that time, don't sue my grandson, I will not rely on money and not pay it back." I am a migrant worker, although I don't make much money, but I can make as much money as I can in a year, and I will pay it back slowly year after year, anyway, I will not be less than your money. ”
Be a good person who speaks of integrity
Talking about the long road to repay debts, Cong Huiyu once said: "My son is gone, I am also doing it for my grandson, I hope that my grandson can grow up healthily, and I must be a good person who is innocent, honest and contributes to society." ”
Ten years have passed, the death compensation of her son, the compensation for the demolition of her hometown, and the money she earned from selling vegetables and washing dishes, Cong Huiyu have all been used to repay debts, and now, finally, there is no debt. She thought that she had to raise her grandchildren well, and she could work hard for a few more years.
In the past ten years, relatives, friends, neighbors and neighbors have also given Cong Huiyu a lot of care and help, with a grateful heart, she also actively participates in community volunteer activities.
Cong Huiyu, who is already a rare old man, is still doing "over-aged dishwashing" under the care of society. Life goes by simply and plainly.
In 2019, Cong Huiyu was awarded the 4th Rugao City Moral Model Nomination Award; in 2020, she was awarded the "Jiangsu Good Man" and was selected into the "China Good Man List".
