There was a "clang", and the door was violently kicked open. Several big men swarmed in, their eyes like wolves and tigers, swept through my house like a storm.
"Old man Wang, your son owes 430,000 yuan in gambling debts, and he must pay it off all at once today, otherwise you will all turn off the lights for me!" The big man at the head roared and grinned.
I was furious, and I struck the leader in the nose with a heavy fist. Blood poured out.
"Old man Wang, you're too ruthless! Brothers, go up, and completely mess up their family!"
So, the gang began a frenzied destruction and looting. They swept away everything of value in the house, including our passbooks and jewelry. I trembled with anger and fought back fiercely, but after all, I was not able to defeat the outwright. Soon, I was bruised and bruised and lay motionless on the ground.
"Now you know it's amazing, right? Within three days, if you can't pay off your gambling debts, don't blame us for being polite!"
The man at the head laughed at the tragic situation of our family, and walked away with his big man.
A month ago, Mr. Wang had just returned from resigning from a company in the city. As the only son in the family, he has been loved by me and Zhao Lingling a thousand times since he was a child. But such a son broke our hearts.
It turned out that when Wang Xiaoming was working in other places, he made some friends who were not careful. They persuaded Wang Xiaoming to gamble, and it should be used as a pastime. Wang Xiaoming was an honest child and had never gambled. But his friends have been instigating him for a long time, and he finally fell for it and tried his hand at the table.
"Dude, it's just a workout and a play. A friend said to Wang Xiaoming.
"Yes, yes, it's a pastime, you can earn if you win, and it doesn't matter if you lose. Another friend was heckling.
At first, Wang Xiaoming just gambled a few hundred yuan, which was a pastime. But it didn't take long for him to become addicted, and the gambling money was getting bigger and bigger. Gradually, he lost all his salary and the living expenses sent by his family. Poor by nature, he began to borrow money from friends and family, and lived at the table in a daze.
It wasn't until one day, when he owed 430,000 yuan to a loan shark, that he woke up from a dream and realized that his gambling addiction had reached the point where he couldn't extricate himself. The gang of debt collectors began to pester, and he quit his job and fled in disarray.
When Zhao Lingling and I learned the truth, we were simply frightened. How did we pull this eldest son? How did he become like this? I slapped Wang Xiaoming hard and scolded him without hesitation: "You bastard! We can treat you as a treasure, how did you become so virtuous?"
Since then, Wang Xiaoming's life has become a mess. In order to pay off the loan shark of 430,000 yuan, he had to borrow money everywhere. However, his friends and relatives rejected him without exception.
"Xiao Ming, I'm barely making ends meet, how can I lend you so much money?" A former friend said to him.
"Brother, be measured, you have ruined our friendship. Another friend said to him coldly.
With nothing to do, Wang Xiaoming began to sell electrical appliances and valuable items. Zhao Lingling and I saw it in our eyes and felt pain in our hearts, but we were helpless. After all, 430,000 yuan is an astronomical amount, and our family's savings are far from enough.
Zhao Lingling just shook her head silently, her eyes gloomy. I saw it in my eyes, but I couldn't say a word of reproach.
In this way, Wang Xiaoming sold everything that could be sold at home, and finally only raised 50,000 yuan. And the loan shark owed is as much as 380,000 yuan.
In order to help Wang Xiaoming repay his debts, Zhao Lingling and I also began to struggle to survive. I got a low-paying job as a security guard and came back with a meagre salary of a few hundred dollars a day. Zhao Lingling washes dishes in a restaurant, earning only two or three thousand yuan a month.
We started cutting back and kept all our expenses to a minimum. Once, I secretly took out some savings at the bottom of the box and wanted to help Wang Xiaoming, but was severely reprimanded by Zhao Lingling.
"What are you doing? That's all the belongings of our old couple! Xiao Ming already owes so many debts, let him pay it himself!"
When Wang Xiaoming saw us working so hard, he naturally blamed himself even more. Sometimes, I would see him alone in his room, crying and dying to death.
I know that my son's heart is hovering in pain and self-blame. He hated his weakness and incompetence, and owed me and Zhao Lingling a piece of affection. Looking at his appearance, my heart also felt a dull pain.
While our family was suffering from a difficult life, the group of debt collectors came to our home again.
"Old man Wang, the time has come, your dog son owes 430,000 yuan in loan sharks, and he has to pay it back!" The big man at the head roared at us, and the hideous look on his face was terrifying.
I hurriedly asked Wang Xiaoming to take out the 50,000 yuan he earned during this time, but the man didn't appreciate it at all, but smiled and said, "That's it?"
"Let's go, haha, let's dream!" The person at the head scolded Zhao Lingling, "If you can't pay off this debt within three days, your family will have to be ruined!"
With that, he kicked Zhao Lingling to the ground with one kick, cursing incessantly. I was furious and frantically pounced, but I was no match for the outnumbered people. Soon, I was bruised and bruised and lay motionless on the ground.
Our family was in a state of great panic and despair. Seeing that our families are surrounded by walls, where can we still have 430,000 yuan to repay our debts? If we can't pay it off within three days, the consequences will be unimaginable!
At this moment of great despair, Wang Xiaoming suddenly got up and said earnestly to the group: "Big brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong! Give me three months, and I will definitely pay off this debt!"
Seeing his son's sincere appearance, the man at the head seemed to be a little moved. He looked Wang Xiaoming up and down, and finally showed a look of pity on his face.
"Three months? That's decided, if you can't pay off this debt after three months, don't blame us for your two brothers' hands and feet!"
With that, he smirked and beckoned his men to leave our home.
In this way, we have a glimmer of life. Wang Xiaoming's determination seems to have finally been made, and he began to desperately look for various opportunities to make money. During the day, he carried bricks and tiles on a nearby construction site; In the evening, he washed dishes in the neighborhood restaurant.
Sometimes, I see him tired at the end of the day, but he still grits his teeth and persists. His face was covered in mud and sweat, and his hands were thick calluses from heavy work.
"Son, it's been so hard for you. "Once, when I looked at him like this, I couldn't help but burst into tears.
Wang Xiaoming shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay Dad, it's all my own doing." I've hurt you and mom so many times, and this time I have to pay off my debt and start a new life. "
I was deeply touched by my son's words. Yes, although he has committed irreparable mistakes, as long as he truly repents, we as parents should forgive and support him.
Since then, Zhao Lingling and I have also been full of energy and tried our best to help our son tide over the difficulties. Zhao Lingling does more housework every day, saving a lot of expenses. I borrowed some money from a colleague at work to ease my son's burden.
"Don't worry, Mom and Dad, I will definitely pay the money back. "Once, Wang Xiaoming said to us.
I smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Be responsible, you can't always let your parents worry about it." As long as you sincerely change your ways, we will forgive you. "
Zhao Lingling also said with tears in her eyes: "Yes, as long as you sincerely repent, we will forgive you." You're our pride!"
In this way, with the joint efforts of our whole family, Wang Xiaoming finally survived the difficult time of the three months. He worked hard day and night, using all the money he earned to pay off his debts. Sometimes, he even works two jobs, carrying on construction sites during the day and washing dishes in restaurants at night.
Gradually, the loan shark of 430,000 yuan began to pay off slowly. Looking at our son's hard work, Zhao Lingling and I were sincerely grateful. Although the family is still poor, we are full of expectations for our son's future.
"Mom and Dad, I've paid off my debts!
Zhao Lingling and I were both so happy that we burst into tears when we heard the news. I went up and hugged my son tightly, and said to him, "Good boy, you have finally survived!
Zhao Lingling cried with joy, and applauded: "Great, we are finally free! Xiao Ming, you can be regarded as really grown up!"
From then on, Wang Xiaoming never dared to gamble again. He found a stable job and lived a normal life. He often told us, "If it weren't for your support, I'd be doomed." I will definitely work hard in the future to repay you for your nurturing kindness!"
Zhao Lingling and I were extremely relieved to hear these words. Yes, although our son has made unforgivable mistakes, as long as he truly repents, we should forgive him and give him a chance to be a new person.
Since then, our family's life has finally started anew. Although our family is still poor, we live a simple and happy life.
One day, the sun was shining and the sky was cloudless. Our whole family hugged each other with happy smiles on our faces. Wang Xiaoming has completely quit the vice of gambling, and he has become the pillar of the family, giving me and Zhao Lingling a large amount of living expenses every month.
Zhao Lingling said happily: "We finally survived, you have to cherish it!"
I also smiled and patted my son on the shoulder and said, "That's how it is to be a human being, how can it be smooth sailing? As long as you can learn from your mistakes, you will definitely start a new life." "
Wang Xiaoming nodded, his eyes were firm and focused. I know that from now on, he will be a good son worthy of us.
The dust has finally settled and our lives are back on track. The past will eventually turn into smoke, and new sunshine will shine on the earth. Our family's tomorrow will be bright.
Since the day Wang Xiaoming paid off his gambling debts, our family's life has been back on track. The son no longer dared to set foot in the casino for half a step, and concentrated on working to make money. Every month, he would take out most of his salary as living expenses to support me and Zhao Lingling's living expenses.
"Mom and Dad, in the future, you can rest at home with peace of mind, and if you need anything, just ask. Wang Xiaoming said to us emotionally.
Looking at my son's dedication to his duties, Zhao Lingling and I are sincerely grateful. Yes, although he has made great and painful mistakes, as long as he truly repents, we should forgive him and give him a chance to be a new man.
And just like that, our whole family started a new life. Wang Xiaoming works in a logistics company and is responsible for the loading and unloading of goods every day. Although the work is hard, he never complains about being tired, but is conscientious and hardworking.
Sometimes, I go out of my way to the company to see how my son is doing. Every time I see him busy working, I feel sincerely gratified. My son has finally grown up and become a good boy worthy of us.
"Young man, you have to do a good job! If there is anything you don't understand, ask your colleagues more, don't be careless. "Once, I patted my son on the back and admonished.
Wang Xiaoming nodded with a smile and said, "Dad, don't worry." I've suffered so much that I'm not going to do it again. "
Yes, my son has really grown up. I am sincerely proud and relieved of him.
And just like that, the days went by. Wang Xiaoming worked hard, and Zhao Lingling and I were finally able to enjoy our old age in peace. The haze brought by those gambling debts finally dissipated little by little.
One day, Wang Xiaoming suddenly said to me: "Dad, I have saved some money and want to buy a new house for you and your mother and move out of this old community." "
When Zhao Lingling and I heard this, we were both moved to tears. Yes, my son has finally grown up and begun to fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of a son.
"Silly son, we have lived here for many years and are used to it, why do we need a new house?" Zhao Lingling smiled and said, "However, we understand your intentions." "
I also smiled and said, "Yes, son, you have fulfilled the responsibilities and obligations of a good son." Our parents will always be supportive and loving for you. "
Wang Xiaoming nodded, with a happy smile on his face. I know that from now on, he will be a good son that we will be proud of and gratifying.
In this way, time flies, and years have passed in the blink of an eye. Wang Xiaoming did a good job in the company, and was soon promoted to supervisor, and his salary also rose. His life has stabilized and he is living the life that an ordinary family should have.
One day, Wang Xiaoming ran home happily and said excitedly to me and Zhao Lingling: "Mom and Dad, I'm getting married!" "
Zhao Lingling and I were so happy when we heard the news. Yes, my son is finally starting a family, and we are going to be grandparents!
"Okay, okay, let's meet this fiancée of yours!" Zhao Lingling nodded again and again, so excited that she was incoherent.
Soon, Wang Xiaoming led a girl to our house. It was a dignified-looking, amiable girl, with a pair of bright eyes, which made people feel like a spring breeze.
"Mom and Dad, this is my fiancée Xiao Li, you have to take care of it!" Wang Xiaoming introduced with a smile.
When Xiao Li saw us, he bowed and said hello again and again: "Hello uncle and aunt, it's a pleasure to meet you." "
Zhao Lingling and I nodded again and again, appreciating the girl who was about to become a daughter-in-law. Looking at their sweet appearance, we are sincerely happy for our son. Yes, my son is finally going to break new ground of his own.
In this way, Wang Xiaoming and Xiao Li soon got married. On the wedding night, my son came to us, hugged us tightly, and said earnestly: "Mom and Dad, it is your support and encouragement that allows me to finally be a person again." I will definitely cherish everything in front of me and strive to be a good husband and father. "
Since then, Wang Xiaoming and Xiao Li have lived happily ever after. Soon they gave birth to an innocent and lovely son. Whenever I see this little guy, I can't help but think of what my son looked like when he was a child. Yes, life is like this, and new life continues.
I sincerely hope that my son will cherish everything in front of him and never repeat the mistakes of the past. As parents, we will always support and love him, and witness his life all the way.
Life is like this, it is destined to have ups and downs. But as long as you have faith and courage, you will be able to start a new life. I believe that a better tomorrow will come, never stop!
