In a small town in the north, Uncle Li is a respected elder. He was industrious and thrifty all his life, and accumulated a rich family property. However, as he grew older, he began to think about how to pass on his family fortune.
Uncle Li has a son and a daughter under his knees, son Li Qiang and daughter Li Ting. Li Qiang has a bold personality and wanders outside all the year round, although he has a successful career, he goes home less and less. Li Ting, on the other hand, is gentle and considerate, always accompanying her parents and taking care of their diet and daily life.
For the distribution of family property, Uncle Li already had a plan in his heart. He felt that although his son had carved out a world outside, he did not care enough about the family, and although his daughter did not have any great achievements, she always guarded the family, and her dedication and persistence were incomparable to any wealth.
One day, Uncle Li gathered the whole family home and planned to announce his estate distribution plan. As soon as Li Qiang entered the door, he looked determined to get it, as if the family property was already in his pocket. Li Ting, on the other hand, stood silently on the sidelines, showing no expectation or dissatisfaction.
Uncle Li watched the performance of the two of them, and he already made a decision in his heart. He said slowly: "I have decided that all my family property will be left to my daughter Li Ting." As soon as the words fell, Li Qiang jumped up and protested loudly: "Dad, how can you do this? I am your son, and I should inherit this family property!"
Uncle Li looked at his son calmly and said, "I know that you are my son, but this family property is not divided according to gender, but to see who has paid more to this family." You are away all year round, rarely come home to see us, and you care less and less about this home. Although Li Ting has no big achievements, she has always guarded our family, and her dedication and persistence are the reasons why I decided to leave the family property to her. ”
Li Qiang was dumbfounded by his father's words, and he recalled that he had indeed ignored the feelings of his family over the years, and his concern for his parents was far from enough. He looked at his sister who was silently crying on the side, and a complicated emotion surged in his heart.
Uncle Li looked at his son's reaction and continued: "I know you may be unwilling, but this is my decision. I hope you understand that the most important thing is not the property, but the harmony and unity of the family. I hope that you two brothers and sisters can support each other and protect this family together. ”
Li Ting listened to her father's words on the side, bursting into tears. She knew that her father's decision was not easy, and she also knew that the responsibility on her shoulders was heavier. She decided to use her own efforts and wisdom to protect this family property and protect this family.
And Li Qiang also began to work hard to make up for his relationship with his family after reflecting on his mistakes. He no longer only cares about his own career as before, but often goes home to visit his parents and sister and participate in family affairs.
With the passage of time, Uncle Li's family property continued to flourish under Li Ting's careful management. And Li Qiang also regained the warmth and happiness of his family with the help of his sister. The family was reunited and lived happily ever after.
This story teaches us that family harmony and unity are the most important assets. No matter how the outside world changes, family is always our warmest harbor. Let us cherish the family around us, manage and maintain family relationships with our hearts, and create a happy and happy life together.
