My name is Zhang Hao and I am an employee of a small company. I have a gentle and virtuous wife, her name is Li Na, and we have been married for five years. Our lives have always been uneventful, but also very happy.
One afternoon five years ago, I received a phone call from my wife's sister, Xiaoli. She said in an anxious voice that she had been cheated of 800,000 yuan and was now penniless, and asked me to help her.
I was shocked when I heard this, because Xiaoli usually doesn't seem to be the kind of person who can be deceived. I immediately discussed it with my wife, and we felt that it was a family problem and we couldn't ignore it. So, I promised Xiaoli and gave her some money to transition.
However, after a few days, Xiaoli disappeared. We couldn't reach her anymore, we couldn't get through on the phone, and even her social media accounts were closed. My wife and I felt very disappointed and angry, but we had no choice but to slowly forget about it.
One day, five years later, a strange call hit my phone. I picked up the phone, and a woman's voice came from the other end: "Hello, I'm Xiaoli." ”
I was shocked, I didn't expect her to appear out of nowhere. I asked her why it took so long to contact us, and she explained that she had been through a lot and had never had the opportunity to contact us. She said she now regrets her decision and wants to compensate us for the money we lost.
I listened to her and was conflicted. On the one hand, I was willing to believe that she was genuinely remorseful, but on the other hand, I had lost trust in her. My wife also expressed similar thoughts, she felt that she couldn't forgive Xiaoli so easily this time.
We finally decided to give Xiaoli a chance, but asked her to take concrete actions to prove her sincerity. Xiaoli agreed, and she offered to compensate us for the lost money, and was willing to accept a certain punishment to make up for her mistakes.
After a period of observation and communication, my wife and I gradually regained our trust in Xiaoli. We found that she was really repentant and was trying to change her lifestyle. Eventually, we decided to forgive her and help her start a new life.
Xiaoli is full of gratitude for our tolerance and help, and she vows to prove her change with practical actions. We also hope that she can be a new person and live a happy and fulfilling life. This experience has made me deeply realize that tolerance and understanding are the most beautiful emotions between people, and that family members should support and tolerate each other.
