30 years ago my father separated the family, my brother got more than me a house, because of this matter I had a fight with my brother, since then I became an enemy, yesterday the eldest nephew suddenly came to my house and said; "My brother got cancer, asked me to see him for the last time, and gave me 50,000 yuan, saying that I lost the money for my room", it has not been in contact for 30 years, do I need to see him for the last time? Is it necessary for me to take this money?
Yesterday early in the morning I heard someone knocking on the door, I immediately went to open the door, it turned out that my eldest nephew who had not been seen for 30 years came, his arrival surprised me very much, after I fought with my brother, I have not been in contact, of course, the eldest nephew has not come to our house since then.
I was very happy to see the eldest nephew, so I immediately invited the eldest nephew into the house, my daughter-in-law immediately poured water on the eldest nephew, at this time the eldest nephew said deeply; "Uncle, my father has cancer, and now his health is very bad, he asked me to invite you to see him for the last time, and let me give you 50,000 yuan, saying that I regret fighting with you at that time, please forgive him!" After saying that, the eldest nephew took out 50,000 yuan and handed it to me directly.
I immediately pushed the money to my nephew, and after a moment of silence I said, "Son, when did your father get sick?" How is he doing now? The nephew suddenly shed tears and said; "More than a year, now back from the hospital last month, the situation is very bad, the father said that he has not been sorry for anyone in this life, the only thing he can't live is uncle you, for 30 years, in fact, he has long wanted to open this matter to you, but has not had the courage to apologize to you." ”
My brother took special care of me since I was a child, at that time the family was particularly poor, my father was an ordinary farmer, my brother went to work in the coal mine when I was very young, and the happiest thing for me at that time was to expect that every time my brother came home from the coal mine, he would bring me a lot of candy every time he came home.
After I graduated from junior high school, my brother resigned from the coal mine and went home, used the money saved from working in the coal mine to buy a tractor, and since then my brother has taken me to run the tractor together, and later because of this tractor, our family built 5 red brick houses, and later when I got married, my brother also helped me handle it.
I was like a child in front of my brother, and my brother was more like a big parent in front of me, it was such a brotherhood, but because of a kitchen in the countryside, it also made us have no contact for 30 years, in fact, we had already bought a building in the county town, and those houses were empty there, but our 30 years of brotherhood had been lost.
Before my father died, we were divided into families, before I was born, my brother and I lived in 2 rooms each, my father lived in 1 room, so there were a total of 5 rooms, when the family was separated, the 1 house where my father lived could not be divided equally, just when the eldest nephew was also ready to get married, the brother was like letting the eldest nephew live in it temporarily, and then he gave me 1,000 yuan, which was equivalent to my brother buying the house.
At that time, when we built these houses, a total of 10,000 yuan was spent, a total of 5 rooms, so on average, each room should be 2,000 yuan, and my brother only gave me 1,000 yuan, I felt a little dissatisfied, because at that time, if I built another room, at least 3,000 yuan, so my brother should give me 1,500 yuan.
When I asked for 1500 yuan, my brother was not happy and said, "When building a house, he would have paid more, besides, according to the price of building a house, this house should give you 1000 yuan."
I said, "When I built a house, I spent 10,000 yuan, and the average room was 2,000 yuan, yes, but that was a few years ago, and now if you build such a house, it will cost at least 3,000 yuan, so you have to give me another 500 yuan."
At this time, my brother took 1,000 yuan and threw it at me in the face, and said: "Do you love this money, when I was a child, I took care of you so much, you were a white-eyed wolf, I knew you were like this, I shouldn't have resigned from the coal mine at that time, thanks to me being so good to you." ”
The money that my brother threw at me fell directly to the ground, I said; "What is your attitude, the house is worth 3,000 yuan if it is built now, I didn't ask you more, obviously you are unreasonable, you are still so domineering," said, I picked up the money and threw it directly to my brother, did not pay attention to just smash his glasses, smashed his glasses lenses.
At this time, he was also anxious, and directly came up to me and threw me directly to the ground, and I was not willing to show weakness, and I was entangled with him... Later, I didn't take the 1,000 yuan, and my brother and I never spoke again.
For 30 years, we bought buildings in the city a few years ago, and the family's house is now empty and no one lives, but my brother and I have not been in contact because of this matter, that is, when we lived in a courtyard before, the two people did not talk when they met.
In fact, I have apologized to my brother many times in my dreams, but every time I wake up, I can't wipe that face, afraid that my brother has not forgiven me, but I have not waited for my brother's initiative to apologize.
Speaking from the heart, I really regret it, after all, the brotherhood that was once so good, just because a house was made like this, now think about it is really not worth it, but neither of the two people can erase their face, and they are not willing to take the initiative to admit their mistakes to each other.
Yesterday the eldest nephew came to my house and suddenly said about the situation of my brother, I now regret it, the eldest nephew's money I directly let him take back, but should I take the initiative to see my brother? I still have a little contradiction in my heart now, if I take the initiative to see him, I just take the initiative to admit that he is wrong, then what should I do with my face?
@ A Single Uncle Perspectives and Analysis;
First; I suggest that you go back to see your brother, not only to see your brother, but also to take care of him in his house for a few days, he has taken such good care of you since he was a child, and now that he is not in good health, you should also take care of him.
Second; hurry up and take your children and family to see your brother, 30 years have been irretrievable, take advantage of the precious time you are born now to unravel this knot with your brother.
Third; it is right that you don't take 50,000 yuan, and if you take it, we won't look at you, and besides, you don't deserve that money yourself.
Thank you in front of the phone, through this story must learn lessons, cherish the people around you...
