My cousin went back to his hometown to drive a BMW, and ordered Australian lobster for dinner, but at the end of the year, he asked me to borrow 50,000 yuan for emergency. This happened at the end of last year, and it still makes me feel emotional. My cousin Xiaojie is the son of my uncle, he has been working hard in the city, and after years of hard work, he has finally achieved a lot in his career. His life improved day by day, not only driving a BMW, but also frequenting high-end restaurants and tasting all kinds of food. However, at the end of the year, he suddenly found me and borrowed 50,000 yuan from me for emergency. This surprised me and made me think about the relationship between money and family.
That day, Xiaojie returned to his hometown in the dust, he was wearing a famous brand, driving a BMW, and with an aura of success. He was warmly welcomed by our family and a sumptuous dinner was prepared for him. At the dinner table, he ordered an Australian lobster and shared the joy of his career with us. The lobster is delicious and delicious, as if it also symbolizes Xiaojie's success. We talked about each other's lives as we ate the food. At that time, I didn't notice any worries on the part of Xiaojie.
However, at the end of the year, Xiaojie suddenly found me and borrowed 50,000 yuan from me for emergencies. He told me that he needed the money to turn around due to problems in the company's capital chain. I was a little stunned, I didn't expect that his life would also be in trouble. Although I was a little hesitant, considering the importance of family affection, I finally agreed to him.
I think of when I was a child, Xiaojie and I played together. At that time, we were innocent, cared about each other, and never thought that money would affect our relationship. I looked at him now, and I couldn't help but feel emotional. Money can indeed change a person's life, but it can't change the affection between people. I decided to help Xiaojie, not only because of our family affection, but also because I believe that he will get through this difficult time and get back on his feet.
At the end of the year, I lent 50,000 yuan to Xiaojie. He looked at me gratefully and told me he would pay it back as soon as possible. I know that this money means a lot to him and shows me his courage and determination to face difficult situations.
However, as time went by, Xiaojie's company resumed normal operations, but he kept dragging his feet and not paying me back the 50,000 yuan. I started to feel confused and upset and didn't understand why he was like this. In the end, it was my uncle who came forward, and Xiaojie reluctantly returned the money to me. He said to me, "Isn't it just 50,000 yuan?" I felt disappointed and helpless, I didn't expect our family relationship to be so easily defeated by money.
This experience made me realize that money can sometimes really change people's mindsets and relationships. I originally thought that Xiaojie would cherish our family relationship and be grateful for my help, but the reality gave me a heavy blow. I began to reflect on whether I was too naïve in front of money and trusted others too much.
Xiaojie's behavior made me understand that even between relatives, it is necessary to maintain a certain distance and reason in front of money. I decided to create a line of defense between money and family affection in the future to protect myself from being hurt again. At the same time, I also hope that Xiaojie can learn from this experience, truly understand the importance of family affection, and cherish the blood relationship between us.
My cousin went back to his hometown to drive a BMW, and ordered Australian lobster for dinner, but at the end of the year, he asked me to borrow 50,000 yuan for emergency. This experience made me very emotional, it not only made me see the relationship between money and family, but also taught me how to protect myself in the face of money. I hope that in the future, we can cherish family affection more and let money become a tool in our lives, rather than a master.
