That day, I received a phone call from my neighbor's grandmother's son. I've never spoken to him, but I could feel a hint of nervousness and anxiety from the voice on the phone.
"Hello, I'm Mr. Wang, and I'm the son of your next-door neighbor's grandmother. His voice trembled a little.
"Hello, what's the matter?" I asked.
"I want to talk to you about one thing, about what happened after my mom passed away. There was a hint of heaviness and helplessness in his tone.
My heart tightened, and I had a vague feeling that this might be a bad thing. "Speak. "I try to keep myself calm.
"After my mother passed away, I found out that she borrowed money from you, right?" Mr. Wang's words shook my heart.
I was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, I did lend your mom a sum of money. ”
"Well, I hope you will be able to return the money. Mr. Wang's tone carried a hint of urgency and pleading.
My heart was moving, and it was hard to refuse. I remember three years ago, my neighbor's grandmother borrowed money from me, and her son, Mr. Wang, was also present at the time, and he promised to return the money at some point in the future. However, I didn't expect that to happen.
"Okay, I'll take care of this as soon as possible. I replied solemnly.
After hanging up, I was lost in deep thought. I have always had a good relationship with my neighbor's grandmother, who is a kind, kind old man and a role model for me in dealing with my neighbors. Three years ago, she borrowed money from me, and I didn't think much of it at the time because I knew she was an honest and trustworthy person, and I was sure that she would return it on time.
However, things turned out in a way that I didn't expect. I never imagined that she would die at home, let alone that her son would ask me for the loan. I was filled with contradictions and uneasiness, and I didn't know how to face this sudden challenge.
A few days later, I decided to go to Mr. Wang and have a good talk about it. When I knocked on his door, his expression was a little complicated, with both unspeakable embarrassment and helplessness.
"Mr. Wang, let me talk to you about this matter. "I broke the silence.
"Please come in. "He politely let me into the house.
We sat down in the living room, and I was honest with him about why I borrowed money in the first place and how I was about paying it back. He listened attentively, and his expression gradually softened.
"I'm sorry, I may have been in a bit of a hurry. Mr. Wang whispered, "I know that you have a good relationship with my mother, and I believe that you will handle this matter well." ”
I smiled and nodded. "Yes, I will take care of this loan as soon as possible. ”
In my conversation with Mr. Wang, I felt the warmth and understanding between the family. Although there were conflicts and misunderstandings between us, through communication and understanding, we were able to resolve all of them and make our relationship closer and more harmonious.
Eventually, I returned the loan amount to Mr. Wang, and he expressed his understanding and gratitude to me. This incident made me deeply realize that the relationship between families needs to understand and tolerate each other, and only in this way can we truly build a warm and harmonious family.
