Early on Saturday morning, my husband Li Qiang and I set off for our hometown. Along the way, we happily chatted about recent interesting events. Li Qiang said: "Meimei, I have to stay a few more days when I go home this time, I miss my family too much." I smiled and said, "Okay, let's stay until next Monday and then go back to work in the city." "
Soon, we were in our home town. As soon as I entered the door, I saw my father-in-law, Uncle Zhang, and my mother-in-law, Aunt Wang, already waiting at the door, with a happy smile on their faces. "Meimei, Qiangzi, you're back! Come in and sit down. "Mother-in-law greeted us warmly.
After a hearty lunch, I offered to help with the cleaning. "Mother-in-law, just rest and let me clean the room. The mother-in-law waved her hand again and again: "Ouch, you have just arrived home, how can you do this?" It's okay, it's okay, I like to clean the most, you can rest assured. I laughed.
What's the matter with so much money? Could it be that my in-laws are in some kind of difficulty and need this money? Or are there any secret sources of income? All kinds of speculations came to my mind, but I couldn't verify them. I was distracted all afternoon and couldn't concentrate on anything else.
After dinner, I finally mustered up the courage to tell Li Qiang about the incident. "What are you talking about? Li Qiang was obviously taken aback. I nodded, and continued, "I don't know what's going on, but I always feel like they must have something big hidden from us." "
"Then we have to ask them directly, we can't let this go by. Li Qiang said with a calm face. I nodded again and again, secretly ready to quarrel with my in-laws.
We found my in-laws sitting in the living room, and Li Qiang asked straight to the point: "Mom, Dad, I have something to ask you." We found a big bag of cash in your bedroom today, what's going on?"
Li Qiang and I were shocked when we heard this, and looked at our father-in-law dumbfounded. The mother-in-law's eyes were full of tears, and she explained softly: "Back then, your father-in-law was bewitched by a group of people and made an illegal sale. After earning that money, he deeply regretted it, and he no longer dared to use it, so he could only keep hiding. "
"Dad, are you telling the truth?" Li Qiang asked incredulously. The father-in-law nodded and lowered his head.
"But why do you keep hiding it from us? I finally broke out, my voice filled with anger and disappointment.
"What else are you hiding from us? Li Qiang asked sharply. The in-laws looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
"Enough!" I slammed the case and shouted at Li Qiang, "It's useless for us to go on like this! The most important thing now is that we have to find a way to solve this matter!"
"But what are we going to do?" Li Qiang looked at me helplessly, his eyes full of confusion and pain.
It turned out that more than ten years ago, my father-in-law had been working in a small company. At that time, his boss often did some small things and made some black money. Once, the boss enlisted his father-in-law and asked him to help transport a batch of valuables.
At that time, my father-in-law was bored by worms, and he was confused for a while, so he agreed. However, in the process of transporting it, he found out that the goods turned out to be smuggled goods! My father-in-law was frightened, but it was too late, so he had to bite the bullet and deliver the goods to their destination.
The boss paid my father-in-law a large sum of money, which was the cash we found. My father-in-law was indeed immersed in the joy of making money at first, but soon felt extremely remorseful for what he had done. He was afraid that he would be found out one day, so he could only hide the money and live a life under the sun from then on.
"And what are you going to do with the money?" I asked calmly.
"Of course we have to hand it over to the state, and we must not hide it anymore!" The father-in-law resolutely said, "Let us be punished by the law, we deserve it!"
"But Mom and Dad, if you go to jail, what will we do in the future?" Li Qiang said bitterly.
"No, we have to turn ourselves in!" My father-in-law said categorically, "Otherwise, we will live in the shadows forever, and there will be no peaceful life to live." "
"Don't move! The policeman at the head shouted loudly, and the muzzle of the gun in his hand was pointed at us.
"We're here to arrest Uncle Zhang!" The policeman said as he handcuffed his father-in-law's hands. My father-in-law lowered his head and didn't resist, just looked at me and Li Qiang helplessly.
"Why did you arrest my father-in-law, he is already a good man in the sun!" Li Qiangqiang asked in a loud voice, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness.
"We received a tip-off that your father-in-law, Uncle Zhang, had been involved in a smuggling case many years ago and had illegally earned a sum of money. The policeman said, pulling out a photograph from his bosom of his father-in-law when he was younger, "and we have also found witnesses from the past to confirm this fact." "
Li Qiang and I were completely shocked by the news. It turned out that my father-in-law's affair back then was actually known and had been secretly investigating for so many years! We never imagined that the secret of this family would be exposed in such a way.
"Uncle Zhang, you must come with us and be well tried. After the policeman finished speaking, he was going to take his father-in-law away.
"Wait a minute!" I called out to them in a hurry, "I have a request. "
"You say. The policeman raised an eyebrow.
"I ask that we go to the trial as a family. I took a deep breath and said solemnly, "We are all responsible for my father-in-law's affairs. We need to face this together as a family. "
Li Qiang and his mother-in-law both looked surprised, but quickly nodded in agreement. I know that this is our last chance for family unity, and we must seize it.
In this way, our family followed the police to the local courthouse. There, we had to face the crimes committed by our father-in-law back then. However, just when we thought everything was going to be in a desperate situation, an unexpected turn of events occurred.
We are all overjoyed by this verdict. Although my father-in-law was also punished, he finally avoided the fate of imprisonment. Our family hugged each other and cried, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Greed, jealousy, fear, these dark sides of human nature often tempt us to do something illegal or even criminal. At the same time, the fetters of family and the concept that blood is thicker than water make us have to forgive and cover up the mistakes of our relatives.
This contradictory psychological conflict made me deeply appreciate the complexity of human nature. We all want to be a good person, but real life is always full of gray areas, and we need to choose between various interests and principles.
Perhaps, this is the test and meaning of life. I told myself that no matter what difficulties and temptations I encountered, I would insist on justice and goodness, and never degenerate into a selfish person. At the same time, I will try to look at the people around me with an open-minded and tolerant attitude, and understand and tolerate their mistakes, rather than blindly blaming and blaming.
Only in this way can we move forward firmly on the road of life.
A few months later, his father-in-law's probation expired, and he finally returned home. The family was reunited for the first time in a long time, and everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles.
"Father-in-law, you're finally out, great!" I said excitedly.
"Yes, I've suffered enough losses this time, and I won't dare to do bad things in the future. The father-in-law said sincerely, "You all forgive me, I swear that I will be a down-to-earth person from now on." "
"Dad, don't worry, we will always support you. Li Qiang said firmly.
I looked at the family in front of me, and my heart was filled with joy. After this incident, our family has become more united and cherishes each other more. My father-in-law also thoroughly realized his mistake and was determined to be a new person.
I believe that as long as we insist on kindness and integrity, we will be able to let go of the shadow of the past, start anew, and live a new life. The sun is always ahead, and as long as you embrace it bravely, you will surely find happiness and joy.
A few months passed, my father-in-law was back on the right path, and our family gradually let go of this past. However, that incident still touched me deeply. I began to reflect on my life path and hope to contribute to society as much as I could.
While I was pondering, an opportunity arose. One day, I saw a public service announcement on TV calling attention to community service. The advertisement said that many vulnerable groups such as the elderly, the disabled, and orphans in the community are living in great hardship, and they urgently need the attention and help of all sectors of society.
When I saw this advertisement, I was deeply moved. I remembered my father-in-law's experience of depravity, and if someone around him had reached out in time, maybe he would not have embarked on the path of crime. I was secretly determined to do my part for these vulnerable people.
Once, I went to visit an old lady who lived alone. She was physically immobile, and her home was so simple that she could barely make ends meet. I saw it in my eyes and was very distressed, so I took the initiative to clean and do housework for her, and also helped her contact some subsidy channels.
"Thank you so much, kid!" The old lady squinted her eyes and said gratefully, "Without the help of you young people, how would we old people live?" "
I smiled and said, "That's so kind, it's my honor to serve you." You are also my elder, and I owe you good honor. "
In this way, I gradually became famous in the community. Many disadvantaged groups have impressed me and think that I am a kind and enthusiastic person. I myself have never felt more happy and fulfilled from this job.
Once, the person in charge of the community center approached me and said he wanted me to take on an important job. Originally, the center was planning to build a free school in a nearby poor community to subsidize the schooling of children there, but there was currently a shortage of suitable principals.
"We all feel that you are the right fit. The person in charge said sincerely, "You are not only kind and enthusiastic, but also very conscientious." We all hope that you can lead this school to benefit more children. "
I was deeply moved by the high hopes. As an ordinary person, I never imagined that I would one day be able to preside over such a school. But I know that this is a new opportunity for God to make a greater contribution to society.
And just like that, I officially started working as a principal. Although everything was so foreign to me, I was very passionate. I vow that I must run this school well, so that every child can receive the education they deserve here, so that they can move towards a better life path.
From volunteering to now being the principal of a school, my life path has changed dramatically. Looking back, if it weren't for my father-in-law's incident back then, I might never have had this consciousness and pursuit.
It was because of that experience that I experienced first-hand the hurt and pain that a person can bring to the whole family if they go astray. The most fundamental way to avoid this kind of tragedy is to let everyone receive a good education and guidance from an early age, and establish a correct outlook on life and values.
That's why I started the school. I hope that through my efforts, more children in disadvantaged environments can have the opportunity to receive education, get rid of the shackles of poverty and ignorance, and have their own opportunities to move towards a better life.
I know that this path will not happen overnight. I will face many difficulties and challenges, such as lack of funds, lack of teachers, and opposition from parents, which will be many obstacles that I will have to overcome. But I was not afraid of it, but I became more and more determined.
Because I know that the power of education is endless. It can not only change the fate of a person, but also affect a family and even the whole society. As long as we persevere in spreading knowledge and positive energy, the world will eventually become a better place.
"Hello teacher! My name is Xiao Ming, and I'm very happy to be here at this new school!" A child greeted me shyly.
I squatted down, hugged him warmly, and said, "Xiao Ming, welcome to you! Here, you will learn a lot of new and interesting knowledge, and you will also make a lot of good friends." I believe that through the joint efforts of everyone, we will be able to create an excellent school!"
Tears welled up in my eyes because I knew that I was embarking on a new journey with this school. This will be a road full of thorns, but as long as we have the original intention of kindness and justice, we will definitely be able to go on and realize our ideals and pursuits.
Yes, life is like this, when we encounter setbacks and trials, we are not blindly running away, but facing them bravely and drawing strength and lessons from them. Only in this way can we continue to grow and eventually become a person of value to society.
And I will take running this school as a new goal in my life, and strive to bring hope and warmth to children and the poor in society. I believe that through the joint efforts of all of us, the world will eventually become a better place!
