My name is Li Xiaoming and I am 30 years old. My wife Zhang Li and I have been married for 5 years and have a 3-year-old son. I work for a company and earn a decent income. Zhang Li is a full-time housewife who is responsible for household chores. Our family of three lives in harmony, and although we are not rich, we are healthy.
My eldest sister's name is Li Xiaolan, and she is in her 50s this year. She is a widow who had been living in the countryside before. Some time ago, my sister came to our city with a family of three from her hometown, saying that she wanted to live and work here, and we acquiesced.
A few days ago, my sister's family of three suddenly came to my house with a large bag and a small bag, saying that they were rejected when they were staying at a relative's house temporarily, and they wanted to borrow it from my house for a few days until they found a suitable house. My wife and I looked at each other, hesitated and agreed, after all, they are relatives. We vacated the room for them to stay in temporarily, and said they wouldn't have to give us rent for the time being.
Since that day, there have been three more people in my family. My sister's family stayed in the guest room all day long, asking for food, toys to play with, and noisy from time to time. I went out to work, and when I came back, I saw that the door of the guest room was open and there was a commotion coming from inside. My wife and I had to prepare three meals a day for them, and we had to chat and play with them in our free time.
Our quiet life was disturbed, and although we were not very happy, we still tried to take care of it. However, I found that the family did not seem to be actively looking for a job or a house, but were completely dependent on us. I'm a little worried that they'll take over our house for a long time.
One day, I came back from work and met my sister at the door. She said in an unkind tone: "Xiao Ming, why did you come back so late? I and the children are hungry, when are you going to cook for us!"
I said a little unhappily: "Sister, I just came back from work, and you don't usually do any housework, and Lili and I are busy all day, and we don't have time to cook for you." "
When my sister heard this, her face turned gloomy: "What? You said that we didn't do housework? We take care of housework every day! Besides, we are all your relatives, so you can't be more kind to us! Should we wander outside?"
I was a little bewildered by her excited tone. I tried to explain in a rational tone: "Sister, I know that we are relatives, but after you came, Lili's life and I were indeed much worse than before. You are not actively looking for a job or a house, but are completely dependent on us. We also have our own lives to live, and it is really hard to take care of the lives of three people. "
My sister immediately said unhappily, "What do you mean? Should we be disliked by you? It's not easy for us, so you can just give us a little care and support?"
I said helplessly: "Sister, we will try our best to take care of you, but you must also take the initiative to solve your own problems, and you can't rely on us all the time." We don't have a lot of money to live on, so it's better for you to fend for yourself. "
My sister's face turned red when she heard this, and her voice raised a few degrees: "What? You can't afford it? Then let's find another way! Anyway, I can't let you look down on us!" After saying that, he turned around and left, and entered the guest room angrily.
I looked at my sister's back helplessly and let out a long sigh. I felt helpless from the argument and I didn't know what to do. My wife, Zhang Li, walked out at this time, saw my depressed expression, and asked me with concern what was going on.
I told her exactly what had happened. Zhang Li also said helplessly: "I said to let them stay for two more days, but it turned out to be endless." It seems that they are planning to stay here forever. "
I sighed and said, "I can't help it, after all, it's our relatives." But they really make our lives very uncomfortable. We don't have enough money to live on, but they have no intention of supporting themselves, they only know that they are dependent on us. "
Zhang Li frowned and said, "Yes, we have enough to take care of them." If this continues, our own lives will be affected. We have to find a way to get them to stand on their own feet as soon as possible. "
I said helplessly, "However, they are our relatives, and we can't completely push them away." It's too cold. "
Zhang Li said: "Then we will find a way to persuade them to find a job and a house quickly, and they can't keep bothering us." Our lives are hard enough now. "
I nodded and said, "Okay, let's go talk to them." "
Zhang Li and I came to the door of the guest room and knocked lightly. My sister reluctantly opened the door, her face still not very good-looking.
We walked in and saw her two children playing with my son's toys on the table and making a mess. I was a little unhappy, but I still said patiently, "Sister, Lili and I have something I want to discuss with you." "
My sister looked at us coldly and said, "What's the matter?"
I took a deep breath and tried to say in a gentle tone, "Sister, you have been living in our house for almost a month, and we are happy to provide you with a temporary place to live. But you don't seem to have much of a plan to find a job or a house, and are completely dependent on us. We don't have enough money to live on, so it's really a bit unbearable. So, we would like to ask you to become self-reliant as soon as possible, find a job and a house, and don't live with us all the time. "
My sister immediately said unhappily, "What? You just dislike us! We just trouble you, don't we? Should we be treated like this by you?"
I quickly explained, "Sister, that's not the case. We just want you to be able to live independently as soon as possible, and we need to have our own space as well. "
My sister sneered and said, "Hmph, I knew you would do this to us! Although we have encountered difficulties for the time being, we are your relatives after all, and you just don't want to help us! It seems that we have suffered a lot of cold eyes here." "
Zhang Li also persuaded: "Sister, it's not that we don't want to help you, we just hope that you can be self-reliant as soon as possible and don't rely on us all the time." Our living expenses are also limited, and we really can't take care of them. "
My sister said angrily: "Hmph, then you just let us get out! With that, he turned around and walked back to the guest room.
My sister interrupted me and said angrily, "Shut up! We'll move out today, so we won't bother you!" As he spoke, he slammed the door shut.
Zhang Li and I looked at each other, not knowing what to do. My sister's reaction just now made us feel very helpless and frustrated. We wanted to communicate with her in a rational manner, but it turned out to be such a violent conflict.
Soon after, we heard the sound of hurried footsteps and objects colliding from the guest room. We hurriedly walked over, only to see my sister's family walking quickly towards the door, carrying large bags and small bags.
"Sister, where are you going?" I hurriedly asked.
My sister glanced at us coldly and said, "Let's go, I won't bother you." We don't want to dislike you. "
Zhang Li and I looked at each other, not knowing what to do. I hesitated and said, "Sister, are you leaving like this?" We just hope that you can stand on your own as soon as possible, not to drive you away. "
My sister said disdainfully, "Hmph, I know what you mean." But we just don't want to trouble you anymore. We'll find a place to live on our own. "
I hurriedly said, "But you don't even have a place to stay, so we can't just drive you away." "
My sister said coldly, "It's okay, we'll figure it out ourselves." We don't want to continue to trouble you anyway. "
After speaking, my sister walked out of the door without looking back with the two children's heads, leaving Zhang Li and I looking at each other at a loss.
Seeing my sister's family leave, I had very mixed feelings. On the one hand, I am worried about their safety and lives; On the other hand, I am glad that I have finally been freed from this heavy burden.
I sat on the sofa and said to Zhang Li sadly, "Are we too ruthless? "
Zhang Li sighed and said, "However, we can't help it." My sister, they have always relied on us, and our living expenses are almost exhausted. We can't take care of them for the rest of our lives. "
I was silent for a moment and said, "But we can't just watch them live on the streets. What if something happens?"
Zhang Li said comfortingly: "Don't worry, sister, they will always find a way." Let's try to help as much as we can. "
I sighed and said, "I hope they can find a job and a house as soon as possible and settle down." We can't fully support them, but we can't just abandon them. "
Zhang Li held my hand and said, "I know your feelings. Let's try to give them some financial help, and we can't let them really be helpless. "
I nodded, feeling a little guilty and uneasy inside. Although we have our own lives to take care of, we cannot completely ignore the situation of our loved ones. I hope that my sister's family can get through the current predicament and settle down again as soon as possible.
Just when Zhang Li and I were still worried about the whereabouts of my sister's family, we suddenly received a call from my sister.
"Xiao Ming, it's me. My sister's voice was a little excited on the other end of the phone.
"Sister, where are you now? Have you found a place to stay?" I hurriedly asked.
"We just met a kind man who took us in!" My sister said excitedly.
"What? really?" I was amazed and said, "That's great! How are you living now?"
That kind man was a relative of our hometown, and when he heard that we were in trouble, he came to help us. Now our whole family lives in their house, and we have food and shelter. My sister said.
I breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "That's great! Lili and I have been worried about your situation." Now that you seem to have settled down, we are relieved. "
My sister said gently, "Yes, thanks to that relative. We thank you so much, even if it still caused you a lot of trouble in the end. "
I hurriedly said, "Don't say that, sister. As relatives, we are happy to be able to help you. I just hope that you can stabilize and start your life again as soon as possible. "
My sister said gratefully, "Thank you! We will definitely work hard and will not cause you any more trouble." I will definitely treat you to a meal to express my gratitude if I have the opportunity in the future. "
I was relieved and said, "Okay, we'll definitely come then." Take care of yourselves, and speak up if you need anything. "
My sister smiled and said, "Okay, thank you again!
I hung up the phone, turned to Zhang Li and said, "Sister, they found relatives to stay temporarily, and they seem to be doing well." "
Zhang Li also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Great! We have been worried about their situation, and now we are finally relieved." "
I nodded, feeling a lot lighter in my heart. Although my sister's family brought some troubles to our lives, we finally found a place to settle down through our own efforts. As relatives, we also tried our best to help, although some of them were unable to do our part.
I'm also happy for my sister's prospects. Being able to find relatives to take them in shows that they have not completely lost hope in life. I believe that as long as they continue to work hard, they will be able to get back on their feet as soon as possible and live their own independent lives.
However, I can't help but have some regrets. After all, we are relatives, and it stands to reason that we should be able to better take care of and support each other. But the reality of the conditions has forced us to make some difficult choices. I hope that in the future, I will have the opportunity to really help and support them.
I walked to the window and watched the sun slowly set, and my heart fell into deep thought. Each of us is fighting for our lives, but we can't completely abandon our loved ones. As family members, we should help each other and care for each other.
When I think back to what I just did, I feel deeply. Although family affection is the strongest bond, the pressures of life can also cause some rifts. We need to learn to find a balance between family and personal care, taking care of ourselves and doing our best to help our loved ones through difficult times.
Zhang Li walked up to me and gently held my hand. I came back to my senses and said to her, "My dear, I hope that our family can live more harmoniously and support each other in the future." Although we have our own lives, we must also remember the needs of our loved ones and do what we can to help them. "
Zhang Li nodded and said softly, "I know, we will definitely do it." After all, family is the most precious. We should cherish each other and care for each other. "
I gently hugged her and felt her warm body temperature. On this cold night, our hearts are wrapped in warmth. I believe that as long as we maintain this sincere family bond, we will be able to get through it together, no matter what difficulties we encounter.
I walked to the door, opened the door, and found that it was my sister's family standing at the door. I was surprised and said, "Sister, why are you back again?"
My sister had a little apology on her face and said, "Xiao Ming, I'm sorry, we're still here to trouble you." "
I hurriedly said, "Why, haven't you already found a place where your relatives live?
My sister sighed and said, "That's right, we just went to live at a relative's house temporarily, but their family situation is not very good, and they really can't help us for a long time." So we have to come back to you again. "
I was a little embarrassed and said, "But sister, didn't we already say before, you had better stand on your own as soon as possible and stop relying on us?"
My sister lowered her head and said, "I know that we have caused you too much trouble. But we really don't have a place to go, can you take us in for a while?"
I looked at Zhang Li behind me, and she also looked embarrassed. Our life is really not rich, and we have to take care of a family of three, which is indeed a bit unbearable. However, seeing that my sister's family was so helpless, I really couldn't bear to refuse directly.
I hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Okay, sister, you guys come in first to rest." But this time you must find a job and a house as soon as possible, and you can't live with us for a long time. "
My sister said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Xiao Ming! "
With that, my sister's family walked into my house with their luggage. Zhang Li and I looked at each other and sighed helplessly.
In the next few days, we were back to our old lives. My sister's family stayed in the guest room every day, and we had to prepare meals for them all the time. Although we were a little troubled, we insisted on helping their family as much as we could when we saw the bleak situation of their family.
One night, Zhang Li and I were chatting in the living room, and my sister walked in, looking a little hesitant.
"Xiao Ming, Lili, I have something I want to discuss with you. She said.
Zhang Li and I looked at each other, and I said, "What's the matter, sister?" "
My sister took a deep breath and said, "I've been thinking that we have really caused you too much trouble by relying on you for so long. So I plan to go out to work to make money, live independently as soon as possible, and no longer delay your time. "
I was a little surprised and said, "You mean, you're going to go out to work, and what about your two kids?"
My sister said: "I thought about it, so I sent the children back to their hometown for the time being, and their grandparents took care of them. I'll pick them up when I find a job and a house. "
Zhang Li said with concern: "Sister, do you really plan to do this? Wouldn't it be too hard to send the children back to their hometown alone, and you have to live alone in other places?"
My sister said firmly: "I know it will be very hard, but I really can't help it." We've been dragging you down, and I just can't stand it. I will definitely work hard to give myself and my children a stable life as soon as possible. "
I pondered for a moment and said, "Sister, I think your plan is quite good. It's just that you are in a foreign country alone, will it be a little dangerous? Why don't you let Zhang Li and I go with you, we can help you find a job, and we can also take care of the children. "
My sister shook her head and said, "No need, Xiao Ming." I'm more attentive when I go alone. You can take care of the children here, and then pick them up when I'm settled. "
Zhang Li held her sister's hand and said, "Sister, we understand your thoughts. But you will be lonely in the field alone, so take care of yourself. Feel free to tell us if there is anything you need. "
My sister said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you so much for your continued help." I will definitely work hard to make myself and my children live a happy life. "
After speaking, my sister got up and prepared to pack her luggage. Zhang Li and I also hurried to help and take care of her luggage together.
When I was sending my sister to the car, I couldn't help but say, "Sister, be careful on the road." Be sure to contact us if you have anything, we are here to support you. "
My sister shook my hand, her eyes slightly red: "Thank you, I will definitely work hard." I'll definitely come to see you when I'm settled. "
As my sister's car faded away, I let out a long sigh. During this time, our family experienced many twists and turns, but in the end, my sister still chose the path of independent life. I believe that as long as she makes up her mind, she will be able to get back on her feet and live a happy life.
I turned around and saw that Zhang Li's eyes also showed some worry. I took her hand and whispered, "Don't worry, everything will be fine." We also have to cheer for my sister, I believe she will be able to persevere. "
Zhang Li nodded and held my hand tightly. We looked into the distance together and prayed for my sister's future. As relatives, we can't give much material help, but we can at least give moral support and encouragement.
I believe that as long as we care for each other and help each other, one day, my sister's family will be able to tide over the difficulties and live a happy life.
