I am the eldest in the family, named Zhang Hao. This is my story with my brother, a story about family, marriage, and money. I have always been the darling of my family, which may have something to do with my hard work in studying and working abroad, or maybe it has something to do with my gentleness and thoughtfulness at home. My brother Zhang Tao and I are four years apart, and although we are different in age, our relationship has always been very close. Since graduating, I have been working for a large company in another city, with a good income and a stable job, and my family is very reassuring to me. However, when my younger brother Zhang Tao suddenly announced that he was going to get married, waves of ripples rippled in my heart.
Zhang Tao and his girlfriend Xiaoling have known each other for several years, and their relationship has always been stable. When Zhang Tao announced to me that they were about to enter the palace of marriage, I felt happy for him, and at the same time felt that it was my responsibility to give them a great blessing. So, I decided to give them some help with the wedding money. Considering my current financial strength, I decided to give them a big red envelope, a total of 50,000 yuan. It's not a lot of money for me, but it's my sincere blessing and support to them.
When Zhang Tao learned that I was willing to give them this gift, he was very touched and said, "Brother Hao, thank you! This money is too important to us. His smile was full of happiness and gratitude, and I felt that this was what I should do. After all, he is my own brother, and his happiness is also my greatest wish.
In this way, I am ready to go to their wedding, and I want to share their happiness and joy with them on this special day. I already imagined the smile on their face when they put on their wedding ring, and it must have been the best picture I've ever seen.
However, just as I was about to leave for the wedding, I received an unexpected phone call from a distant relative I had rarely contacted since I was a child.
I picked up the phone and heard the anxious voice of a distant relative on the other end of the phone: "Brother Hao, I heard that you are going to attend Taotao's wedding, and I have something I want to discuss with you here." "His voice was a little nervous, and I was a little surprised, and I didn't know what he was going to say.
"What's that? I asked patiently.
"Actually, I'm having a bit of a financial struggling here, and business hasn't been doing well lately, so I need a little help. I heard that you plan to give Taotao a gift of 50,000 yuan, can you help me?" he said with a hint of anticipation and embarrassment.
I was silent for a moment, a hint of hesitation. I know that this relative is not close to us, has very little contact, and usually does not have much contact. He suddenly asked me to borrow money, which was a bit unexpected. Moreover, I had never considered giving him any financial help before. However, his difficulties also made it a little difficult for me to ignore them. After all, relatives should help each other, and I can't just watch him get into trouble and ignore him.
"This ...... I'll have to think about it. "I'm not sure how to answer him.
"Brother Hao, I know this request is a bit sudden, but I really need this money. I promise you, I will definitely give it back to you. His voice was full of sincerity, and I couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"Okay, I'll think about it, and I'll get back to you when I get the result. "I finally said yes, and although I was still a little hesitant, I felt that maybe this was what I should do.
After hanging up, I was lost in deep thought. I know that the red envelope I gave to my brother was to bless them and help them in their newlywed life. But if I lend some of it to this relative, will it affect my blessing to my brother? After all, 50,000 yuan is not a small amount for me, and if some of it is borrowed, will I feel resentful?
After hesitating for a long time, I decided to go to my brother's wedding first, after all, it was an important moment, and I didn't want to miss it because of the momentary trouble. As for that relative's request, I will consider it after the wedding. After all, I can't let this problem affect my brother's happiness.
So, I sorted out my gifts, and with mixed emotions in my heart, I set out on the journey to the wedding scene. I don't know what kind of troubles and challenges this decision will cause me, but I hope I can make the right choice so that everyone can be happy.
When I arrived at the wedding site, I saw Zhang Tao and Xiaoling standing on the stage, happily accepting the blessings and congratulations of the guests. I felt a warmth in my heart, and I also felt a trace of inexplicable relief when I saw that my brother was about to start his married life.
I found a place to sit and watched my relatives and friends walking around busily, and the words of blessing were endless. Suddenly, I saw a familiar figure, which was a distant relative I had promised to lend me money on the phone. When he saw me, he hurriedly walked over.
"Brother Hao, you're here!" he said with a smile, "I called you just now, but I didn't expect you to arrive." ”
"yes, I just arrived. I politely replied, "You're also here today for Tao Tao's wedding." ”
"Yes, Taotao is my relative, how can I not come. He smiled and said, "However, I have one more thing to discuss with you today. ”
My heart sank, did he want to mention the loan again? I looked at him with some embarrassment, waiting for his next words.
"What did you think about the thing I told you earlier?" he asked without waiting for me to speak.
I hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to be honest with him: "I thought about it, and this matter is indeed a little difficult. I prepared a red envelope for Tao Tao and them to bless their newlywed life. However, I feel that you also have difficulties, and I don't want to ignore them. ”
"That's great!" he said, a hint of joy on his face, "and will you lend it to me? ”
I thought about it for a while, and finally decided to help him: "Okay, I can lend you a part." However, please remember that this is money lent to you, and I hope you will pay it back to me on time. ”
"Thank you, Brother Hao!" he shook my hand excitedly when he heard my reply, "I will definitely return it to you on time, don't worry." ”
I nodded, a little relieved. I know that this money is important to him and may be able to help him through the difficult times in front of him. It's just that I don't know if this decision will have an impact on the relationship between me and my brother. After all, the gift money I promised to give my brother was lent to him in part.
In such a mood, I continued to attend the wedding, and seeing my brother and Xiaoling happy, I also felt a little calmer in my heart. Perhaps, this will all change for the better.
The wedding went very smoothly and the atmosphere was warm and warm. Zhang Tao and Xiaoling's parents were smiling and kept communicating with the guests. When I saw their expressions, I also felt a little relieved in my heart, after all, the happiness of the newlyweds was also their wish.
I stood aside and watched my brother and bride snuggle up to each other, happily receiving the guests' blessings. My mood gradually became happier, and seeing their happiness, I also felt that my efforts were worth it. After all, the satisfaction of being able to bring happiness to one's loved ones is something that money can't measure.
And in my heart, I also began to feel more determined about my decision. I know that even though I lent a part of the red envelope to a relative, my blessing to my brother has not diminished in the slightest. On the contrary, I prefer to believe that I can help more people through my own strength, so that more people can feel the taste of happiness.
In the final part of the wedding, Zhang Tao and Xiaoling jointly raised their wedding rings on the stage and swore their love and marriage to all the guests. The audience resounded with warm applause and shouts of blessings, and the atmosphere reached a climax.
"I announce that they are officially husband and wife from now on!" the host announced in a loud voice.
At this moment, I felt a warm current in my heart, and my eyes couldn't help but moisten. Looking at my younger brother and Xiaoling's happy appearance, I feel that all the efforts are worth it, and all the difficulties can be overcome.
"May them be happy forever!" I prayed silently in my heart.
After the wedding, I talked to my relative to determine the details and timing of the loan, and then I said goodbye to him and left. My heart was full of satisfaction and joy, and although I had been given a portion of the red envelope to my brother, I felt that everything was worth it when I saw their happiness.
I set out on the journey home, full of emotion and thought. Perhaps, life is like this, you need to go through all kinds of difficulties and challenges in order to become stronger and more mature. And I am willing to continue to work hard in this process to make my life better, and let the people around me feel the warmth of happiness.
When I got home, I was in a happy mood, but my mind couldn't help but drift to the various scenes of the wedding. The happy images of Zhang Tao and Xiaoling repeatedly surfaced in my mind, making me feel a kind of warmth and satisfaction.
However, I was also a little uneasy in my heart. I know that the money lent to relatives, although it is well-intentioned, also carries certain risks. After all, I don't know what he's going to do and what he's going to do, so what should I do if he can't make the payments on time?
These doubts made me a little anxious, and I couldn't help but start reflecting on my decision. Perhaps, I should be more cautious and not share my financial problems with others. Especially when it comes to family and loved ones, you should be even more cautious.
I picked up my phone and called a friend to share my feelings. After listening to my narration, my friend comforted: "Brother Hao, you are a kind and generous person, and your efforts are worth it. However, remember to protect yourself and not put your own interests above others. ”
My friend's words made my heart move, and I realized that I was indeed a little too soft-hearted, and that I sometimes needed to be more rational and cautious in helping my loved ones. I decided to think about what to do next, not to put myself in a bigger predicament.
As time went on, I calmed down and started thinking about what to do next. I decided to communicate with my relatives first to clarify the purpose of the loan and the time of repayment to ensure that the interests of both parties are protected. At the same time, I will also take some steps to ensure my financial security and avoid unnecessary risks.
After experiencing this wedding and borrowing incident, I have a deeper reflection and understanding of life. I understood the balance between affection and rationality, and the need to be more cautious and rational when dealing with family relationships and financial issues. I will face the challenges of the future with a more mature attitude, strive to make my life better, and let the people around me feel the warmth of happiness.
