On that day, our family gathered at my mother's funeral, and our hearts were very heavy. My brother and sister-in-law arrived early, and they have been busy preparing for their mother's funeral.
At this moment, the only one who didn't show up was the eldest sister. Her mother's departure hit her hard, and we all understood her feelings, so we didn't blame her.
"Don't say it, just take it. The sister-in-law forcibly stuffed the eldest sister with a thick red envelope.
"Thank you, but I don't really need to. The eldest sister tried to push away the sister-in-law's hand.
The elder brother opened his mouth and said: "Eldest sister, the family affairs are all taken care of by the sister-in-law, and this money should be regarded as her hard work."
The eldest sister was silent and finally took the red envelope. I was also very embarrassed in my heart, because my mother's departure made the family affection at home even more precious, and we were the only relatives.
Back at home, the eldest sister hid the money in a drawer. She always felt that the money should not belong to her because she had not done her duty.
However, the eldest sister's business has been sluggish, and her own family is also facing some difficulties, and it is even more difficult for her to put down her body to ask for money.
The eldest sister's move caused some fluctuations in the family. I saw it in my eyes and knew her inner struggle.
In the following days, the eldest sister never touched the money. She became thinner and more melancholy.
I whispered, "She always felt that the money didn't belong to her, but it was too hard for her to put down her body and ask for it."
The sister-in-law sighed, "I also know her difficulties, but the family also has family expenses, and this money is indeed a bit urgent."
I secretly smiled bitterly in my heart, the eldest sister's unspeakable hardships could only be borne by herself. At this time, I made up my mind in my heart: I must help my eldest sister solve this problem.
On this day, my eldest sister and I went shopping in the city center, and the eldest sister's eyes revealed tiredness and helplessness. I suddenly grabbed her: "Sister, don't blame me for being nosy, in fact, you can really take this money."
She looked at me with some bewilderment, and I continued, "I don't care about my mother's inheritance. I only care about your feelings, we still have to support each other as a family.
The eldest sister burst into tears, and she seemed to understand my intentions. She dragged me into a bank and asked for the inheritance to be put in my account.
Now, it seems that our relationship has changed a bit. We are all working towards the same goal, and our families are more harmonious.
She is my own sister and the person I respect the most, and I don't want her to be embarrassed.
As the days passed, the conflicts at home seemed to be slowly dissipating. However, even the calmest family can hardly escape the shadow of contradictions.
"Little sister, I've been in some trouble recently and need a sum of money, can you help me?" the eldest sister said with a hint of helplessness and help.
The eldest sister sighed and said slowly, "There is something wrong with my business and I need a sum of money to tide over it.
I was silent for a moment, this inheritance was originally left to us by my mother, but I also understood the situation of my eldest sister, and the failure of the business hit her hard.
When the eldest sister heard my words, her face showed a hint of joy, and she hugged me gratefully and tightly. Then, I transferred the money to my eldest sister.
However, after the transfer, my family's life became a little tight. The children's tuition, the family's expenses, and the sudden expenses also made me feel some pressure.
However, I gradually felt anxious and troubled inside.
At a family dinner, I couldn't resist bringing up my predicament. Everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
The eldest sister looked at me in a daze, her face a little embarrassed. The elder brother was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Everything at home has to be faced, eldest sister, you also have to consider the feelings of other people."
The eldest sister's face gradually became gloomy, and she suddenly stood up, and her tone became a little excited: "I know, I know! But have you ever thought about my situation? My business is in trouble, and I have done my best."
At this time, I felt some grievances in my eldest sister's words, and I began to understand her inner struggle.
Now, the atmosphere at home has become a little tense, and everyone is immersed in their own thoughts. I don't know how this will affect our family, but I do know that the family dispute hurts my heart.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing, and a strong wave of anger welled up in my heart. Who would dare to do that? On the phone, I tried to keep myself calm.
There was a cry in the eldest sister's voice, "When I left, the bank said that you were here to transfer." ”
Now something happened, and the whole family was back in an impasse. At one point, our relationship became very strained, and I was deeply disappointed that the eldest sister had concealed such an important fact because of her own concerns and worries.
At the same time, I also felt that my position and presence in the whole family had become weaker and weaker.
The atmosphere at home became extremely tense, and everyone hid knots in each other's hearts. Every time we meet, it's an awkward scene, and we can't face each other.
I began to think about how I could rebuild the harmony of this family, and I kept convincing myself that my eldest sister must have her difficulties and sufferings.
I began to try to let go of the knot and reconnect with my eldest sister.
During this period, I launched a series of questions to my eldest sister. The eldest sister's answer made me understand, she was worried that my family and I would have conflicts and disputes over this money, and she thought that she could not afford the consequences, so she had to hide it from me.
Slowly, the knots in my heart gradually unfolded. The relationship between me and my eldest sister is slowly repairing. No longer to entangle their own interests and status, but to find a way to fundamentally solve the contradictions in the family.
Although this incident has made me feel painful and helpless, I believe that the affection of family can overcome all things after all.
I am willing to take the time and effort to rebuild the trust and emotional bond between us.
