This year, when my family of 5 people left their hometown, my brother-in-law asked me to pay 11,000 yuan for Qingming!
Self-introduction: My name is Guo Liurui, born in 1969, 55 years old this year. My wife and three children and I form an ordinary family of five. Although we are not wealthy, our families are harmonious and we live happily.
On the eve of Qingming this year, our family, as in previous years, was ready to go back to our hometown to worship our ancestors. When I think of my hometown, I always have mixed emotions in my heart. There are memories of my childhood, the graves of my deceased relatives, and the unspeakable family past.
The night before we packed our bags and were ready to leave, my brother and daughter-in-law called out of the blue. Her voice passed through the microphone and appeared a little sharp: "Brother, are you ready for this year's Qingming expenses?"
I was stunned, in previous years, everyone shared the cost of Qingming Festival, why did you suddenly ask this year?" "Oh, brother-in-law, do you mean the cost of worshipping ancestors? ”
"Discuss, don't discuss!" the sister-in-law's tone was a little impatient, "You can give more this year, 11,000 yuan, you can just transfer it to me." ”
11,000 yuan? Our family's financial situation is not well-off, and 11,000 yuan is not a small amount for us. What's more, in previous years, the cost of worshipping ancestors during the Qingming Festival was shared equally by everyone, why did you suddenly ask me to pay so much this year?
"Brother-in-law, is this a miscalculation? Why is it so much?" I asked tentatively.
"That's right! That's it!" the sister-in-law's voice raised an octave, "This year's situation is special, so you should have more." That's it, I hung up first. ”
There was a "beep" hang-up sound on the other end of the phone, leaving me confused. My wife saw that my face was not right, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
I repeated my brother-in-law's words, and my wife also frowned: "This is wrong, in previous years, it was an equal cost, why did it suddenly change this year? Is there something hidden?"
My heart moved. Could it be that something happened to my hometown?
The next morning, full of doubts and uneasiness, I embarked on the road back to my hometown with my family. Along the way, I always felt like something was going to happen.
When I finally arrived at my hometown, as soon as I entered the door, I saw that my brother and sister-in-law were there. Their faces were not very good-looking, especially their brother and daughter-in-law, and there was an indescribable emotion in their eyes.
"Brother, you're back. The younger brother barely managed to squeeze out a smile, "Sit down and rest." ”
I nodded, sat down and asked directly, "Brother-in-law, the cost you said yesterday ......?"
"Oh, that's the cost...... my sister-in-law said a little flickeringly, "That's right, aren't we going to worship our ancestors this year? We need to buy a lot of things and ask someone to help, so the cost is higher." ”
"That's not going to cost 11,000 yuan, is it?" I asked.
"Oh, brother, don't ask so much!" the brother-in-law suddenly became a little impatient, "Anyway, this is so much money, you can just give me the money quickly." ”
Looking at my brother-in-law's attitude, the doubts in my heart became heavier. There's definitely something wrong with that!
I decided to secretly investigate the truth of this matter. So, in the next few days, I quietly asked my relatives and neighbors in my hometown about the situation while everyone was not paying attention.
After a lot of twists and turns, I finally learned something inside. It turned out that the reason why my brother-in-law suddenly asked me to pay 11,000 yuan for Qingming was because she had recently become obsessed with an online investment and wanted to take this opportunity to make a quick buck.
I was shocked to hear the news. My brother and daughter-in-law, who usually seem to be quite shrewd, how could they believe in this kind of online investment? This is clearly a scam!
No, I have to find a chance to talk to my brother-in-law and let her know that she is lost.
So, one night, while my brother was not at home, I found my brother-in-law.
"Brother-in-law, I have something to tell you. I looked her in the eye and said solemnly.
"What's the matter? God is mysterious. "My brother-in-law was a little impatient.
"I heard you've been playing online investing lately?" I asked straight to the point.
"How do you know?" said the sister-in-law's face changed.
"You don't care how I know. I continued, "Brother-in-law, you listen to my advice, online investment is too risky, and many of them are scams. Hurry up and stop it, don't lose your wife and lose your troops when the time comes. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about!" the brother-in-law was anxious, "I'm a sure-fire deal! Don't be alarmist here!"
"How can there be such a good thing!" I sneered, "Brother-in-law, wake up! Stop daydreaming!"
"You ......" the brother-in-law was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Just then, the younger brother returned. When he saw that the two of us were not right, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
I told my brother everything that had happened. After hearing this, the younger brother's face became ugly: "Wife, how can you do this? Internet investment is all a fraud! You quickly withdraw your money!"
"Quit, what's going on!" the brother and daughter-in-law were anxious, "I've already thrown in!
"You ......" The younger brother was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Watching my younger brother and his brother-in-law quarrel over online investment, I had mixed feelings in my heart. I know that the harm of online investment is not only the loss of money, but also the damage it can to family harmony. If my brother-in-law continues to be obsessed, I'm afraid this family will break up.
I decided to take a step further and help my brother-in-law understand the truth about online investment. So, I started to collect various cases and information about online investment, especially the personal experiences of those who were scammed. I hope that through these real-life examples, my sister-in-law will realize how dangerous her actions are.
After a lot of hard work, I finally put together a detailed piece of information. I printed it out, bound it into a book, and found my brother-in-law.
"Brother-in-law, look at this. I handed her the information, "These are the personal experiences of victims of online investments. You look at how they were cheated and look at how miserable they are now. ”
The younger brother and daughter-in-law took the information, and after flipping through a few pages, her face became more and more ugly. She seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem and began to remain silent.
I took the opportunity to say, "Brother-in-law, I know that you are a smart person and will not be fooled by these deceptions. However, sometimes people are just carried away by the greed of the moment. I hope you can see the reality clearly and stop in time. ”
The younger brother and daughter-in-law were silent for a while, then suddenly raised her head and said, "Brother, I know." I was tempted by those high rewards to do such a stupid thing. Now that I think about it, I really shouldn't have it. ”
I was relieved to hear my brother-in-law say this. Looks like my words have worked. I patted her on the shoulder and said, "Brother-in-law, it's good to know that you can change your mistakes." The most important thing now is to get the money out of it quickly and stop getting deeper and deeper. ”
"yes, I see. The brother-in-law nodded, "I'll go and contact the investment platform and withdraw the money." ”
The matter was finally settled. The younger brother and daughter-in-law realized that they had lost their way and withdrew from the network investment in time. Although our family lost a lot of money because of this, we were able to keep the family in harmony.
After this incident, the younger brother and daughter-in-law became more cautious. She no longer easily believes the false propaganda of those online investments, and focuses on work and family. Our family's life has gradually returned to its former peace and happiness.
Looking back on this experience, I am deeply aware of the importance of family harmony. Money is important, but without family harmony, no amount of money can bring true happiness. I hope that every family can cherish the emotional bond between each other and work together to create a warm and harmonious family atmosphere.
