I'm Wang Xiaojuan, and I'm 32 years old this year. I work as an administrative worker in a small company, and my monthly salary is only 7,000 yuan, which is barely enough for me to spend on my own. My brother and I were the only two people in the family, and my parents died at an early age, so my relationship with my brother was particularly strong. But recently, a phone call made my mood irritable.
It was an ordinary Sunday afternoon, and I was watching TV at home when the phone rang. I glanced at the number displayed on the screen of my phone, it was my brother's. I answered the phone and heard my brother's anxious voice: "Xiaojuan, can you do me a favor? ”
"What's wrong? is there something going on?" I asked, with some concern.
"That's the case, I've been in a bit of trouble lately, and I need 80,000 yuan, can you help me pay some of it first?" his brother's voice sounded a little frustrated.
I was shocked, 80,000 yuan? This is not a small amount, my monthly salary is not yet this amount. I tried to keep my composure and asked, "Why do you need so much money, what's going on?"
"Alas, the investment in the job has failed, and you need to pay off some debts quickly, otherwise there will be trouble. There was a hint of helplessness in his brother's tone.
I hesitated in my heart, after all, my brother is a relative, and I can't bear to see him in trouble. "Okay, I can help you with some of it, but I also have my own living expenses, so I can only take out 50,000 yuan first, and I really can't take out the rest. ”
"Great, Xiaojuan, you are really my savior!" said a hint of happiness in his brother's voice.
After hanging up the phone, I felt a heavy heart. 50,000 yuan is not a small amount for me, but in order to help my brother, I can only endure the pain of love. I took out my phone and started checking my deposit to see if I could get the 50,000 yuan out.
This phone call made me worry about the future. I don't know if my brother will get so much money, and if he doesn't, will I be burdened with myself?
The next day, I woke up early to get ready for work. Although I was a little worried, I still had to go on with my daily life and not delay my work because of this incident. I was walking along the road, thinking about yesterday's phone call in my head.
As soon as I arrived at the company, my phone rang again, this time with an unfamiliar number. "Hey, hello, is it Wang Xiaojuan?" a strange male voice came.
"It's me, what's the matter?" I replied, somewhat confused.
"You are Wang Xiaojuan, I am Mr. Liu, the legal department of our company. I'm calling you because of your brother's arrears. The man's voice sounded serious and cold.
My heart tightened, could it be because of my brother's debt problem, and the company came to the door?, "What is it about?" I asked, trying to keep my composure.
"Your brother has an overdue loan in our company, totaling 80,000 yuan, and we need you to pay off this amount as soon as possible. There was a hint of unquestioning in Mr. Liu's tone.
When I heard the news, I panicked. "But I can only pay back 50,000 yuan first, and I can't take out the rest for the time being. I explained with some reluctance.
"Fifty thousand, that's fine, you transfer this money to the account designated by our company as soon as possible, otherwise we can only take legal measures." Mr. Liu's voice became more stern.
I could only nod my head in agreement. After hanging up the phone, I felt an unspeakable sense of grievance and helplessness. I have obviously tried my best to help my brother, but this matter is not so simple, and the company is still holding him accountable. I don't know anything about these legal issues, and I don't know what to do.
When I go to work, I am absent-minded and often make mistakes. My colleagues all thought something was wrong with me today, but I didn't want them to worry, so I just did it perfunctory. At the end of the day, my heart was even heavier.
Back at home, I picked up my phone and started looking for a phone number for legal advice. I felt like I had to know something about the law and not be intimidated by the company. But after some searching, I found that the lawyer's fee is also a large expense, and I have to spend a lot of money on it.
"Xiaojuan, what's wrong, why do you seem to be in a bad mood?" my roommate Xiaofang asked with concern when she saw that I was frowning.
"Oh, nothing, just some work stuff. I didn't want Xiao Fang to worry, so I just replied lightly.
"Tell me if you might be able to help. Xiao Fang extended a friendly hand.
I felt warm, but embarrassed. I don't want to talk about my troubles to others, I have to solve this problem myself. "It's really fine, maybe I'm a little tired today, I'll go take a break first. I replied vaguely.
Xiao Fang looked at me, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she held back. "Okay, you can rest, feel free to tell me anything. She gently patted me on the shoulder and left my room.
I leaned back in bed, closed my eyes, and kept thinking about what happened yesterday and today. I felt a sense of powerlessness in my heart, and I didn't know what to do next.
I tossed and turned in bed, my thoughts in disarray. The anxious face of his brother, Xiao Fang's concerned gaze, and Mr. Liu's indifferent voice appeared in front of him. I felt a deep sense of helplessness and despair, as if I was caught in a predicament from which I could not extricate myself.
The next day, I decided to find a chance to have a good talk with my brother, after all, he caused the problem, and I couldn't take all the responsibility alone. When I got home in the evening, I found my brother already waiting for me in the living room.
"Xiaojuan, you're back. "My brother saw me enter the door with a relaxed expression on his face.
"yes, I think we'll have to have a good talk. I sat down and said bluntly.
"What are you talking about?" the elder brother's expression was a little puzzled.
"On the issue of your debt. I replied without hesitation.
My brother's face changed suddenly, "Oh, little sister, I know I owe you a personal favor, but I'm really tight on money now." ”
"I know you're strapped for money, but I also have my own living expenses, and I can't afford to delay my life just to help you. "I tried to make my brother aware of the seriousness of the problem.
"I know, I know, I'll find a way to get the money back to you as soon as possible. The elder brother nodded again and again, showing sincerity.
"It's not to give it back to me, it's to the company. I emphasized, "Your debt problem has already involved the law, and I can't help you solve it." ”
The elder brother was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Okay, I'll deal with this as soon as possible." ”
I looked at my brother's appearance, and my heart was full of distress and helplessness. Although he is a big man, in my eyes, he will always be the little brother who needs my protection.
"By the way, Xiaojuan, there is one more thing. The elder brother suddenly said, "The main reason why I am in debt this time is because I want to pay a sum of money for my son's tuition, and I really can't come up with so much money." ”
When I heard the news, my heart shook. "Do you have a son?" I asked, somewhat surprised.
"yes, he's five years old, and you should meet him too. There was a hint of pride in my brother's voice.
"Okay, when are we going to meet?" I was very excited about this new thing.
"Then next Saturday, we'll have a meal together as a family. My brother suggested.
I readily agreed. Although my brother's debt problem has not been resolved, I am very much looking forward to seeing my nephew. Perhaps, in this family's predicament, the unity and warmth between family members are the most precious.
Finally, on Saturday, I was ready early and waiting to meet my brother's family. Although the previous conflicts and troubles have not been completely resolved, I think that the mood should be much better when I see my nephew.
My brother's family arrived at the downstairs of my apartment on time. I saw my brother holding a lively and cute boy, who must have been my nephew. I walked forward quickly and said excitedly, "Brother, long time no see!"
"Little sister, hello!" my brother smiled and hugged me, "This is my son Xiao Ming, I finally let you meet him today." ”
"Hello, Xiao Ming. I crouched down and smiled at the little boy.
Xiao Ming looked childish, and replied with a bright smile: "Hello Auntie!"
"Come in, come in and sit. "I warmly invite them into my home.
We chatted over tea, and the atmosphere quickly became lively. I played hide and seek with Ming, and my brother talked to me about his recent work and life.
"Xiaojuan, I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble. My brother's expression was a little guilty.
"Brother, is there anything you can't say between your family? Of course I'll help you. I gently patted my brother on the shoulder, "As long as you can take care of your own affairs, I'm relieved." ”
"Thank you, little sister. My brother looked at me gratefully.
"Brother, I also have something to ask for. I said suddenly.
"What's the matter?" asked my brother curiously.
"I want you to help me solve the company's legal problems, I don't know much about this, can you help me?" I hope my brother can share some of the responsibilities for me.
"Of course, little sister, I'll do my best to help you out. My brother immediately expressed his support.
I felt an inexplicable sense of comfort in my heart. The support and understanding between my family makes me feel that there is still a lot of warmth and hope in this world. I decided not to think too much about it and just enjoy what was in front of me.
Time flies, and months have passed in a flash. With the help of my brother, I was able to resolve the company's legal issues, and although the process was a bit tortuous, I was able to save the day. And the elder brother is also trying to pay off his debts, although it may take a long time, but at least he is already working hard.
During this time, I also had more opportunities to get along with Xiao Ming. Every weekend, I would invite my brother's family over and we would cook, play games, and have a great time together. Xiao Ming also became closer and closer to me, and every time he saw me, he would hang on me, which made me a little embarrassed.
Once, we went to the park together as a family, and Xiao Ming and I chased and played on the grass. Suddenly, Xiao Ming fell, fell very painfully, and started crying.
"Xiao Ming, it's okay, don't cry. I hurriedly ran over, picked up Xiao Ming, and gently patted him on the back.
"Auntie, I hurt so much. Xiao Ming hugged his knees and looked at me with tears in his eyes.
"Let me see. I carefully examined Xiao Ming's knee and found some abrasions, "It's okay, it's just a small wound, I'll help you deal with it." ”
I took out a disinfectant cotton pad and a band-aid from my bag and carefully treated Xiao Ming's wound. "Look, put a band-aid on it, and it won't hurt anymore soon. I said to Xiao Ming with a smile.
Xiao Ming raised his head, his eyes shining with gratitude, "Thank you, Auntie." ”
My heart warmed and I thought this little guy was so cute. Although he is only my nephew, in my heart, he is like my own son. Watching him laugh gradually, I also felt happy.
"Xiaojuan, thank you for always being with Xiao Ming. My brother came over and patted me gratefully on the shoulder.
"Brother, this is what I should do. I replied with a smile, "Xiao Ming is my nephew, of course I will try my best to take care of him." ”
"It's good to have you. The elder brother said with emotion, "I'm really glad to have a sister like you." ”
I smiled and nodded, my heart filled with happiness and satisfaction. The unity and support of family members is the most valuable asset we have in the face of difficulties together. Although there will be many challenges in life, I believe that as long as we work together, everything will work out.
