8 years ago, as soon as the deeds of "Stone Cousin" Yin Wentao were reported, the whole network was moved.
In 2016, Yin Wentao's 42-year-old aunt Liu Fulan unfortunately suffered from cancer and was forced to be orphaned on her deathbed.
However, the two young sons were pushed around like balls by their relatives.
At the critical moment, 33-year-old Yin Wentao resolutely stood up: "As long as I am here, no matter how difficult it is, I will definitely raise my two cousins to grow up, and never let them separate!"
In order to keep his promise, he did not hesitate to cut off the relationship with his father, was sued for divorce by his wife, worked 4 jobs a day, and was full of vicissitudes and illness.
Someone ridiculed: "Why can't these two children be raised by their aunt's cousin, the eldest cousin is too stupid to be worth it!"
But more people praised: "He has 10,000 reasons to be indifferent, but the kindness in his bones makes him bear what he shouldn't bear." This is the great love of the world! He should be awarded a 'touching Chinese character award.'" ”
I know I don't have to do it, but I have to do it.
Yin Wentao's righteousness is worthy of the three words "real man"!
Now, 8 years later, how is the life of Yin Wentao and his cousins?
01
With me, the brothers will never be separated
The hemp rope is broken in detail, and the bad luck is looking for the miserable.
Yin Wentao never thought that the fate of his aunt Liu Fulan would be so troubled.
The time goes back to 2016, a cold winter with dripping water turning into ice.
Liu Fulan, who was doing odd jobs, suddenly fainted, and after being rushed to the hospital, she got a bolt from the blue: she had liver cancer and was approaching an advanced stage.
Liu Fulan was so shocked that she couldn't speak on the spot, and after calming down, she couldn't help but feel sad.
Liu Fulan's life was not smooth, her in-laws died early, there was no one to help her family, and all the burdens depended on her and her husband. Fortunately, the husband is caring, the two sons are lovely, and the happiness of the family has reduced the bitterness of life.
However, the good times were short-lived. Her 35-year-old husband was suddenly diagnosed with cancer, and his life was not long after.
When her husband left, Liu Fulan's eyes were about to cry blind.
However, when she thought of her 3-year-old eldest son Qiqi and her youngest son Chengcheng, who had just turned one year old, she had to wipe away her tears to support a family.
In the following years, Liu Fulan had a difficult time.
Although the community helped apply for a subsistence allowance of 800 yuan per month, he was able to maintain his daily life. But in order to repay the debts owed by her husband when he was treated, Liu Fulan still had to work hard day and night, and she had to work hard to pull her two sons to grow up.
After 8 years, the debt was finally paid off, and I thought that good days were coming, but who would have thought that cancer would find Liu Fulan again.
Her time is short, the children are still immature, and Liu Fulan can't close her eyes with peace of mind no matter what.
Looking at her sister's difficult situation, Liu Fulan's eldest sister, that is, Yin Wentao's mother Liu Jianlan, burst into tears.
In fact, after her sister fell ill, she has been helping to take care of her two nephews, and she also has the heart to adopt two children.
However, life at home is not easy.
She has two sons, the eldest son is not married, and the younger son, that is, Yin Wentao, is married and has two children. A family of 7 is crammed into a 40-square-meter low-rent house, and life is tight.
Liu Fulan, who had nothing to do, dragged the sick body to ask for help from the community.
The community stepped in to bring her in-laws and mother-in-law together to discuss child support.
A few minutes passed, and the eldest sister of the in-law was the first to speak.
She said that she and her husband were not in good health, and they had three grandchildren to raise, so they were unable to help, and her sister-in-law did not express her position, but only wiped her tears.
The in-laws couldn't help, so Liu Fulan had to pin her hopes on her mother's sister.
"I have a lot of people in my house, and I don't have a place to live. Liu Jianlan spoke with difficulty.
Yin Wentao, who witnessed all this, felt very painful in his heart. He and his aunt are only 9 years apart, and the two have always been very close.
When he was a child, he liked to play with his aunt's buttocks. Later, my aunt got married and had children, and the two families still moved around often.
For my aunt, the eldest sister and nephew are her closest family members.
If even they stood by and watched, how desperate would my aunt be, and how pitiful would my cousins be?
Thinking of these, Yin Wentao made a decision in his heart.
The next day, with the mediation of community members, relatives discussed the adoption of a child by their mother-in-law and mother-in-law.
Unexpectedly, when the two children heard that they were going to be separated, they hugged each other and cried.
In the midst of the terrible cry, Yin Wentao pushed the door in.
He said loudly: "The two children are so old, what are the points!
Then, he turned around and promised his aunt on the hospital bed: "No matter how difficult life is, I will not let my two cousins be displaced, and I will definitely let them be together." ”
Liu Fulan and her sons glanced at each other and cried with joy.
It's just that Yin Wentao didn't tell his aunt that he forced his father to agree to this result by "severing the relationship between father and son".
Yin Wentao knew that his father was not ruthless, and he had been helping his aunt's family before, but he refused because the family was too difficult and he felt sorry for himself.
In order to reassure his aunt, Yin Wentao also specially found a notary public to solemnly sign the adoption procedures.
After the formalities were completed, Liu Fulan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
02
Be the most solid backer
However, the days that followed were not easy.
Since the two cousins arrived at home, the family of nine has been crammed into a small space, and there are often conflicts.
Yin Wentao's wife was already very complaining about her husband's adoption, and now she is complaining again and again: "You can't earn a lot of money, and you still love it! What skills do you have?"
Every time they ate, the two cousins, who were already sensible, just pulled the rice in the bowl, did not speak, and did not pick up the vegetables, lest they cause trouble to the cousin.
Looking at the cautious appearance of his cousins, Yin Wentao felt very uncomfortable, and he secretly decided: he must work hard to earn money so that they will be less wronged.
Fortunately, the family's affairs were reported by the media, and all walks of life reached out to help.
First of all, the housing problem was solved.
Liu Fulan was assigned to a low-rent house and was arranged in the community where Yin Wentao's family was located, and also received 200,000 yuan in medical assistance.
However, her body was already at the end of her strength, and she didn't last long before she died.
Who knows, as soon as the aunt left, Yin Wentao was subjected to cyberbullying.
Some unreasonable people say that he adopted his cousin just to covet his aunt's house and money.
When kindness was maliciously speculated, Yin Wentao was out of breath and depressed for a while.
In fact, in addition to paying his aunt's medical arrears and funeral expenses, the balance of 200,000 yuan was deposited in the Volunteer Federation in the name of his cousins.
The successive pressures made Yin Wentao's wife unbearable, and she left a divorce agreement and left the house with her little daughter.
With one less person to help him, and he has to support his two cousins and eldest daughter, the burden on Yin Wentao's shoulders is even heavier.
He entrusted the children to the care of his parents and went to work in other places by himself.
In those years, he worked on the construction site, moved home, hauled goods, and worked several jobs at the same time, so tired that he could fall asleep standing every day.
However, the roof leak happened to be rainy and cloudy.
Due to poor rest, Yin Wentao was in a trance when carrying at the construction site, had an accident and injured his waist.
He had to drag his sick body back to his hometown in frustration.
While he was recuperating from his injuries, he kept browsing the website for job postings, thinking about how to make money.
Before the injury healed, Yin Wentao applied for a job at a courier company and was responsible for sorting packages.
At work, he found that transporting and delivering goods could make more money, so he gritted his teeth and took out a loan to buy a second-hand truck, leaving early and returning late every day.
He often runs from place to place carrying bags of heavy packages.
When he returned home, he held his waist and checked his homework for his two cousins.
Some people seem to be smiling every day, not because everything is going well, but because they dare to face problems and embrace the future. Yin Wentao relied on this spirit to support it.
03
The cousin becomes a "real father" and loves each other as a family
Yin Wentao said: "As long as it is beneficial to the two cousins, I have to learn to understand and try." ”
Although Yin Wentao's father did not agree to adopt the two children, he was actually a knife-mouthed tofu heart. Seeing that the two children were small and thin, he took them to the hospital to check if they were sick.
In order to help the children grow up, Yin Wentao's father took the two children to the park at 6 o'clock every morning to run, went to the countryside to collect local eggs for them to eat, and bought imported milk powder for them to drink, even his own granddaughter could not drink.
At the beginning of 2023, Yin Wentao heard from his cousin that many netizens on the Internet are very concerned about the recent situation of the two cousins. So, he registered a self-media account "Cousin Stone" and posted his life dynamics with his two cousins.
In the fall of 2023, after graduating from the technical school, my eldest cousin wants to join the army.
Some netizens left messages suggesting that he go to college first, and then go to the army in his junior year, and joining the army in school will have many benefits for his future.
When he saw the message, he immediately went to the Internet to inquire about various information, and inquired in many ways, thinking that this was a good way out.
However, if you want to take the college entrance examination, you must register at the relevant institution. Yin Wentao took his eldest cousin on a two-hour drive to the school to find a teacher to understand the specific matters.
After several trips, the school finally agreed to give the eldest cousin a chance to take the single-enrollment exam.
After returning home, Yin Wentao bought a bunch of books and review materials for his eldest cousin non-stop, urging him to brush up on the questions and prepare for the exam.
This year, my little cousin was admitted to high school.
Yin Wentao didn't say a word, carrying his luggage and sending him to school.
In the dormitory, he laid mattresses, folded quilts, and made beds for his little cousin. After being busy, I accompanied my little cousin to familiarize myself with the campus environment.
At the end of the day, Yin Wentao returned home, and it was time to rest. But as soon as he sat down, he remembered that the school dormitory was a little cold, so he hurried back to school and brought a quilt for his little cousin.
Every weekend, Yin would gather his cousins for a small family meeting.
He always said to his cousins earnestly: "I am uneducated, I can't teach you, and I have to rely on myself to study." You have had misfortunes before, but you are lucky now. There are so many enthusiastic netizens who care about your recent situation and prospects, and leave messages to help us find out the way and answer our confusion. Therefore, we must fight hard and not live up to the expectations of so many people!"
He always encouraged his two cousins to study hard and work hard. At the same time, Yin Wentao will also patiently inquire about the cousins' academic performance and psychological condition, and give timely guidance.
Once my little cousin confided that he was not ideal in the final exam and had ideological baggage.
Yin Wentao comforted him: "An exam doesn't mean anything, you just have to work hard to catch up." ”
The cousins were on vacation, and Yin Wentao was worried that they would relax, so he accompanied them to make a holiday study plan.
But he also pays attention to the combination of work and rest, and takes care of both exercise and study.
Occasionally, he would take his two cousins out to relax, play billiards, play video games, and the brothers had a lot of fun.
Under the care of love, the cousins gradually became cheerful.
Once, my little cousin celebrated his birthday and specially invited two classmates.
Yin Wentao ran before and after, took them to eat, watch movies, and bought milk tea.
The classmates showed envious eyes and said, "Your dad is so good to you!"
At that moment, Yin Wentao and his cousin both wet their eyes with tears.
There is no flowery language, no exquisite life, but Yin Wentao's love for his two cousins is not a lot at all.
As a "cousin", he does what his "father" does.
Not a father, better than a father.

Kindness is the best blessing in life
Yin Wentao's dedication, the two cousins saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts, and they reciprocated it in their own way.
The eldest cousin got his first salary during the internship. He went to the mall as soon as possible, spent half of his salary, and bought new shoes for his aunt and uncle.
Although the two old men said that it was too wasteful, looking at their smiling expressions and repeated attempts on shoes, it showed the joy and relief in their hearts.
And the other half of the salary, the eldest cousin gave it to the cousin.
Although the money is not much, it represents a grateful heart.
The little cousin never relaxes himself, he works hard in school, he is determined to be admitted to a prestigious university and give his cousin a long face.
Cousins need to spend more money to go to college, in order to make more money, Yin Wentao started from scratch in his spare time, asked teachers, and tried to bring goods live broadcast.
Yin Wentao's studious and persistent habits his eldest cousin, and he also actively participates in it.
Once, the younger cousin went to the movies on his birthday, and the eldest cousin insisted on staying at home, under the pretext that he didn't like to watch movies.
Actually, he wanted to help his cousin live broadcast together and do his part.
In the live broadcast room, the brothers danced subject three.
Yin Wentao jokingly said that he was a penguin twisting his buttocks, and the beautiful dancing of his eldest cousin attracted a large number of fans to watch.
Today, the eldest cousin has successfully passed the single-enrollment examination and was admitted to Changsha University of Posts and Telecommunications.
Yin Wentao was so happy that his face was flushed, and he immediately went to register for a driving school for him.
Some netizens left a message: "Cousin Shi is an ordinary person, but he has done the greatest thing. He used his kindness and love to make the unfortunate children the happiest people in the world. ”
Yin Wentao said indifferently: "The two cousins are very sensible, everything is worth it!"
As the old saying goes: Virtue does not need to be seen, and God knows how to do good.
True kindness does not need to be proclaimed, and good fortune is always on the way for people who are kind in their hearts.
Life is a practice, and to be kind to others is to be kind to yourself.
Many netizens saw the video of Cousin Shi adopting two cousins, and were deeply moved, and found his video account and became his most loyal fans.
Yin Wentao didn't accept any donations, so everyone poured into the live broadcast room and snapped up his goods.
This is done because everyone thinks that such a kind person deserves a good life.
Sincerity for truth, everyone who does good deeds, while helping others, is not achieving themselves.
The suffering is over, but happiness is coming.
I wish the kind-hearted Stone Cousin's family a better and better life, peace and joy!
