Twenty years ago, my husband and I were facing closure when a friend lent us 20,000, but then he disappeared. Yesterday, a man who claimed to be his daughter approached me

Twenty years ago, my husband and I were facing closure when a friend lent us 20,000, but then he disappeared. Yesterday, a person who claimed to be his daughter came to us and she said, "My father borrowed 20,000 yuan for you, and you should also return the favor." When I learned about the situation, we could not repay Brother Li.

I am 48 years old, my husband is 50 years old, and we run two restaurants in the county.

20 years ago, my husband and I had just been married for a few years, and our husband and wife decided to start their own business, took out all the savings of our part-time job, and opened a restaurant in the county.

That year, my husband's family suffered a crisis. His father was seriously ill, and her husband, the only child in the family, had to do everything he could to help him. However, our restaurant has only been open for 2 years, and we have not made any money, so we have invested all the money we can take out into the hospital.

On the hotel side, the landlord is also anxious to collect rent. My husband and I have been dragging the landlord for several months, and the landlord said, "If you don't pay the rent again, then I can only sublease to someone else, and I have let you delay for 3 months."

My husband and I were desperate and had to give up the hotel. However, that day, one of our friends just came to our restaurant for dinner, his name is Li Qiang, 5 years older than me. He learned what was going on with us.

He said, "I just have some cash in my hand, I'll lend it to you," saying he ran to the bank next door and withdrew 20,000 cash, and our annual rent was exactly 20,000.

My husband asked him, "Why do you help me, our relationship is not enough for you to lend me so much money." He said, "Just invest in you, the money in my hand is useless, it is better to take it out and make some investment."

That friend and we don't know each other very well, but he often comes to my restaurant to eat, so he is cooked twice, he is the manager of a nearby company, not our local.

At that time, my husband and I did not dare to accept the 20,000 yuan he handed over, but he said, "Rest assured, I earned this money myself, if you can't believe me, then you might as well write me an IOU.

I was also wondering where someone had taken the initiative to lend money to someone else, and it wasn't a particularly familiar person. My husband and I looked at each other, and we were really impressed, but we were still a little uneasy. And he seemed to see what we thought, he said, "Actually, I want to make you a friend, your husband and wife are diligent and down-to-earth, and they are also kind, I have been eating at your house for so long, and I have long regarded you as friends."

Hearing him say this, my husband and I were a little touched, and we accepted his help, because the hotel is our only chance to change our destiny, and we don't want to give up. The husband said, "Thank you for looking up to us, I will immediately write you an IOU, and we will pay you back within 2 years."

He also accepted our IOUs, and he came to our restaurant a few times after that, but that day he came to tell us that he was going back to the provincial capital and that he had withdrawn his investment.

My husband and I asked him for a card number so that he could pay him back later. But he said, "I will come back in the future, if I don't have difficulties, you should keep this money, if I encounter difficulties in the future, I will come to you."

However, we have not seen him since that parting. And we also went to the provincial city to find him, just to repay his money, otherwise this matter will become a knot in our hearts. Yet we didn't even have any news of him.

After that, my husband and I made the restaurant bigger and stronger, and we also opened a branch, but we never saw the friend who helped us again. Without his help, we would have closed our doors long ago, and we may not be doing well now.

Today, although my husband and I are rich, we have not forgotten him 20 years ago, but he is like evaporation in the world, we have a lot of relationships in the provincial city, and we have not found him.

My husband and I stayed in the old shop at the beginning, and we were afraid that one day he would come back and would not find us.

Yesterday at noon, a strange woman came in the hotel, and she asked me, "Is your hotel still the same as it was 20 years ago?" I said yes.

She said, "Do you remember a man named Li Qiang?" When we heard this name, my husband and I directly fidgeted, and my husband said excitedly, "Of course, remember, he is our benefactor, but also our friend." The woman said, "I'm his daughter, I know he borrowed 20,000 to you, and now you should reciprocate."

I immediately asked "Brother Li, is he okay, after more than 20 years of separation, we have always hoped to see him again and then repay him."

But she told us that their family went bankrupt as early as 10 years ago, and Brother Li also passed away for 2 years, and Brother Li never mentioned to his family that we borrowed his money, even a few years ago, Brother Li was seriously ill, and his family could not come up with medical expenses, and he did not say.

When his daughter was sorting out Li Ge's relics, she found a worn-out yellow IOU.

When we heard that Brother Qiang had passed away, my husband and I both cried. He treated us as friends for a lifetime, and did not expect us to repay him, and the IOU may be the only thing he cherishes us, but he would rather have difficulties himself than come to us for money, for him, my husband and I have no way to repay.

I learned that the girl was now unemployed and that her mother was also ill, so she had to come and ask about the situation. My husband and I didn't say a word, and then took out 500,000, and I said, "It's not enough to tell us, we must cure your mother, and this is the only thing we can repay Brother Li."

Before leaving, my husband said, "When your mother is cured, you come to our county town, and I will hand over another branch to you to take care of, which we owe to your father."

For Brother Li, what else can we do for him?

@Moving Emotions I would like to say:

Brother Li does not want to repay, and you know that you must repay, you are all uncompromising and kind people, Brother Li has helped you and changed the fate of your family, and you have returned him 500,000 in return, plus a branch, I think it is also worthy of Brother Li.

For Brother Li, you have given him enough rewards. I only hope that in the future, you will help his daughter and his wife more. #情感 #
