The Story of Borrowing Money: Family Love and Debt
Borrowing money is often a sensitive and complex topic in the long course of life. It's not just about the flow of money, it's about the emotional bond and trust between people. And the experience of borrowing money between me and my third uncle is a story full of warmth and gratitude.
Five years ago, a phone call shattered the silence of the afternoon. On the other end of the phone, it was the slightly worried voice of the third uncle. He told me that his family was going through some difficulties and needed some funds to get through it. When I heard the news, I had mixed feelings. Borrowing money, the word used to be a word full of uneasiness and hesitation for me. But in the face of the third uncle, my hesitation disappeared in an instant.
When I was a child, my third uncle's family always cared for me. Whether it is the care of life or the encouragement of study, they have given me endless warmth. Now, when they are in trouble, how can I stand idly by? So, I did not hesitate to tell the third uncle how much money he needed, even if he said that I would do my best to help.
The third uncle seemed a little surprised on the other end of the phone, and he hesitated for a moment before saying the amount required. I listened, and there wasn't much fluctuation in my heart. For me, although this money is not a small amount, I can afford it, and more importantly, I am willing to pay for this family affection.
Soon, I transferred the money to the third uncle. After receiving the money, he called again to express his gratitude. During the chat, I learned that he had also borrowed money from someone else. As soon as my heart moved, I offered to help him pay off those debts, so that he would no longer have to worry about paying them back. The third uncle listened to my words and was so moved that he thanked him repeatedly.
In the days that followed, we were not alienated by the fact that we were borrowing. On the contrary, our relationship has become stronger. Whenever there is something good or happy in the third uncle's family, he will always share it with me as soon as possible, and I will always lend a helping hand when he needs it.
Time flies, and years have passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, the third uncle's family repaid me part of the money one after another. I never took the initiative to collect debts because I knew they would do their best to repay them. And whenever they pay back, I always feel a heartfelt relief and joy.
One day, I suddenly received a message from the third uncle, saying that he could finally return the rest of the money to me in one go. As I listened to his words, a warm current welled up in my heart. I knew that this was not just a monetary repayment, but also an expression of his trust and gratitude to me.
When the third uncle proposed to transfer money with a bank card, I was a little surprised. Because we have always transferred money through WeChat before. But I didn't think much of it and gave my bank card number. Soon, I received an SMS prompt for a bank transfer. When I looked at the amount, I was surprised to see that it was 20,000 more than expected.
I hurriedly called the third uncle to inquire about the situation. He told me that the 20,000 yuan he had given me extra as a thank you for my help and support to their family over the years. Listening to the words of the third uncle, my heart was full of emotion and emotion. I know that this is not just a matter of 20,000 dollars, but a reflection of the deep affection between us.
Before hanging up the phone, I told the third uncle that I had received this heart, but I couldn't accept the money. Because I know they need this money to improve their lives too. But the third uncle insisted on giving it to me, he said that this is our family's affection and a part of his heart.
Eventually, I compromised. I accepted the 20,000 yuan, but my heart was full of gratitude and guilt. I know it's a friendship that I can't measure in money. It is not only a repayment of debts, but also a continuation and sublimation of family affection.
Looking back now, that experience of borrowing money has become an unforgettable memory in my life. It made me deeply appreciate the preciousness of family affection and the power of trust. In the days to come, no matter what difficulties and challenges I encounter, I will remember this friendship and trust, and cherish this deep emotional bond with my third uncle.
