One early morning in January 2021, Ms. Zhu Liping from Zhengzhou walked into her spacious and bright living room exhausted, full of haggard face and distraction. The sun shone gently on her face, but her heart was filled with endless troubles and worries.
Zhu Liping thought about it for a long time, but finally found the courage to find her brother Zhu Liqiang and ask him for help to discuss a major matter that she knew was difficult to talk about and that made her feel stressed.
She was silently planning in her heart how to explain this sudden news to her brother, lest the slightest mistake would trigger a strong backlash from her brother.
When Zhu Liping gently pushed open the door of Zhu Liqiang's house, she found her brother-in-law and two cute little nephews resting leisurely in the living room. Zhu Liqiang was keenly aware of his sister's frowning brows and her expression of wanting to speak, as if there was something important that they needed to face together.
So he bowed slightly, motioned for Zhu Liping to follow him into the bedroom, and closed the door.
"Brother, I'm really sorry that I had to make this decision – sell this house. Zhu Liping sighed deeply and stared into her brother's eyes sincerely, "The bank's collection pressure is getting bigger and bigger, and I have no other choice."
Therefore, I hope that you will be able to move out of here with your family within two days."
"Can't you understand the predicament I'm facing?" Zhu Liping's tears kept rolling in her eyes, looking helpless and painful, "If I can't sell this house in time, I will be recognized as an old man, and the consequences will be unpredictable."
Zhu Liping was shocked by her brother's firm attitude, and tears finally fell down like beads of broken thread. Zhu Liqiang looked at his sister expressionlessly, and after a moment of silence, he said coldly: "Since this is the case, then we will go our separate ways from now on!
Zhu Liping hung her hands weakly and walked out of her brother's room in grief. She never imagined that her relationship with her brother would deteriorate to such an extent that it was frustrating and heartbreaking.
How should the current economic problems be resolved? What will happen to the contradictions between the siblings? Everything is shrouded in a dark cloud.
In order to understand the root cause of this sibling conflict, let's rewind the time to 2011, ten years ago. At that time, Zhu Liping had just gained a firm foothold in Zhengzhou, and after years of hard work, she finally accumulated a considerable wealth.
As the only child in the family, she works hard to earn money not only to meet her personal needs, but also to share the good times in life with her elderly parents and the whole family.
So, Zhu Liping decided to take her father and young brother Zhu Liqiang to the bustling Zhengzhou together to share a happy time with herself. The younger brother Zhu Liqiang is a charming single young man, who is the age group that needs the warmth and care of the family.
Soon after, Zhu Liping spent all her money to buy a small apartment of about 60 square meters, and renovated it to welcome the arrival of her parents and younger brother.
During this time, Zhu Laohan found his daughter, his hands held Zhu Liping's hand tightly, and said affectionately and sincerely: "Child, as a father, I deeply feel my own incompetence, and I have not been able to buy a property in the city for you and your brother in my life.
Your brother is married, but the house in his hometown is dilapidated, and he feels guilty for not having a house to marry his bride.
Before Zhu Laohan finished speaking, his head hung down, and tears rolled in his eyes. Zhu Liping saw her father in such pain, and her heart was mixed.
She silently shed tears and did not answer for a long time.
The father and daughter stood quietly like this, until the husband next to them spoke: "Father-in-law, you have worked hard, and our whole family can understand your feelings." Regarding my brother's marriage, please rest assured that I will discuss it seriously with Liping.
When Zhu Liping heard her husband's words, the burden in her heart seemed to be lightened a lot. Although she had hoped to rent out her new home for rental income, the needs of her family were clearly more urgent.
In this way, Zhu Liqiang and his newlywed wife moved into this brand-new cottage under the careful arrangement of his sister and began their newlywed life. Who would have thought that this stay would be a full ten years.
Zhu Liping thought that her younger brother would be able to set up his own business and buy a new house in a few years, but she never foresaw that Zhu Liqiang would occupy his property for a long time so arbitrarily.
Looking back on the past, the original kindness has become a fatal bane, and Zhu Liping can't help but feel unprecedented powerlessness and anger.
In this way, Zhu Liqiang's family lived comfortably in his sister's house for eight years. Until 2018, Zhu Liping encountered some emergencies and was in urgent need of capital turnover.
At this critical juncture, Zhu Liping did not hesitate to decide to sell the property in order to resolve the imminent economic crisis she was facing.
Zhu Liping found her younger brother Zhu Liqiang, and confessed her dilemma to him with a solemn face - "Brother, I urgently need 320,000 yuan to alleviate my urgent need, and I am really desperate, so I can only sell this house.
Zhu Liqiang looked at his tired sister, and his heart was full of guilt. After thinking about it carefully, he said firmly: "Sister, we might as well do this, I will help you pay 320,000 yuan in advance to buy this house, and I will raise and make up for the rest of the house as soon as possible."
Zhu Liping was deeply moved by her brother's sincere words, and she nodded silently. She originally thought that as long as her brother paid a deposit of 320,000 yuan for the purchase of the house first, the rest of the money should be paid quickly, so as to meet her brother's needs and ensure that her rights and interests were not damaged.
As a result, Zhu Liqiang's family successfully obtained the ownership of this property.
However, what is unexpected is that in the next year or so, Zhu Liqiang has never been able to pay the remaining house payment. On the contrary, in 2019, he encountered business difficulties again and had to ask his sister for help again, hoping to use the house in his sister's name as collateral and take out a loan of 500,000 yuan to tide over the difficulties.
After a fierce ideological struggle, Zhu Liping finally took out the real estate certificate and went to the bank to apply for a mortgage of 500,000 yuan. Zhu Liqiang vowed to his sister that in just a few months, he would be able to repay the principal and interest of the loan in full.
However, this is not the case. After entering 2020, Zhu Liqiang not only failed to fulfill his promise to pay off the loan, but began to adopt delaying tactics. Zhu Liping asked many times, but her younger brother always used various reasons to perfunctory the past.
In this way, it was delayed until the beginning of 2021, and the bank's debt collection calls continued to harass Zhu Liping like thunder, making it impossible for her to work with peace of mind. What's worse is that when her husband learned the truth, he was furious and severely accused Zhu Liping of daring to make such a decision behind his back.
Faced with the pain and disappointment of her lover, Zhu Liping also fell into extreme helplessness and despair. The only way out at the moment is to sell the property in order to pay off the huge amount owed by the bank as soon as possible.
However, the younger brother's family still lives in it and resolutely refuses to move out, which escalates the conflict between the siblings and falls into a new whirlpool of conflict.
Faced with the breakdown of her relationship with her beloved brother, Zhu Liping felt endless confusion and helplessness. As the only daughter in the family, she has been loved by her parents since she was a child, and her brotherhood with her brother is even deeper.
However, the current predicament has left her breathless.
When Zhu Liping fell into extreme confusion, she suddenly remembered her elderly father, Zhu Laohan. As the pillar of the family, Zhu Laohan has always been the anchor of the family, and any disputes can always be properly resolved under his patient guidance.
After in-depth thinking, Zhu Liping finally decided to ask her father for help.
Zhu Liping choked up, tears poured out like rain, and she threw herself into her father's arms, grief-stricken. As a daughter, she really couldn't bear to tell her elderly father about such a sad thing, but at the moment she had no choice.
Although Zhu Laohan is in his old age, his thinking is still clear and sharp. He gently patted his daughter's back and comforted: "Liping, don't be sad first, let Dad personally ask your brother."
After speaking, Zhu Laohan walked into his son's residence with his daughter on crutches.
In the face of his father's stern questioning, Zhu Liqiang did not show the slightest shame, but retorted eloquently: "Father, maybe you don't know the whole story. When I first moved into this house, I spent nearly 300,000 yuan on a comprehensive renovation.
However, this huge renovation cost has not yet been properly handled, so I can't leave easily."
Zhu Liqiang was so frightened by his father's anger that he didn't dare to speak, and he silently withdrew from the room. And Zhu Liping was unable to work normally for two consecutive months because of huge psychological pressure, so she could only hide at home and cry alone.
Zhu Laohan looked at the once close brother and sister who were now strangers, and his heart was full of pain and guilt. He couldn't help but wonder if today's chaos could have been avoided if Zhu Liping had not asked for a loan of the house.
In this way, the contradiction between the sister and brother has never been resolved, and Zhu Liping's living situation has deteriorated day by day. By January of the following year, the situation was on the verge of collapse.
On a sunny morning, Zhu Liping stepped into the door of her brother's house again with great determination, eager to write off this long-standing grudge as soon as possible.
She walked into the living room and found her brother-in-law and two lovely nephews sitting around the dining table enjoying breakfast, so she walked straight to them without hesitation.
Zhu Liping's tears poured out like a flood that burst the embankment, and she covered her cheeks in pain, and the sound of crying echoed through the room like thunder. Just then, a reporter knocked on the door, and they were fortunate enough to see the full picture of the family feud with their own eyes.
It turned out that in a desperate situation, Zhu Liping had to seek help from the media, hoping to use the powerful power of public opinion to untie this dead knot. After an in-depth investigation to understand the circumstances of the incident, the journalists decided to act as mediators themselves.
They first asked Zhu Liqiang to be honest and honest about his true thoughts. Zhu Liqiang unreservedly admitted that he had spent nearly 300,000 yuan to decorate the house, and even paid 320,000 yuan as a one-time deposit for the purchase of the house.
He had always wanted to own the house, but due to financial constraints, he was never able to pay the balance on time, and today's heated rhetoric was entirely due to a momentary emotional out-of-control.
Subsequently, the reporter handed the microphone to Zhu Liping. Zhu Liping sincerely explained that her attitude at that time was indeed too tough, but it was also out of desperation. The mortgage was about to expire, and the bank's urging made her feel lonely.
Naturally, she would have been willing to wait a little longer, if possible.
Seeing that the siblings showed sincerity in reconciliation, the reporter patiently guided and finally found a solution acceptable to both parties. Under the joint witness of the reporter and Zhu Laohan, Zhu Liqiang finally showed his sincere feelings, he bowed deeply to his sister, expressed his apologies, and promised to immediately mortgage another property in his name to repay the loan principal and interest of the previous 500,000 yuan, and make up the remaining house payment, so as to completely buy the property in his sister's hand.
In this way, the sister and brother, who were tormented by contradictions, finally reached a reconciliation. They hugged each other tightly in front of the reporter's camera, tears falling like raindrops. Everyone present was deeply moved by this touching scene and couldn't help but burst into tears.
The power of public opinion played a key role in resolving the conflict between the once close siblings, allowing them to come back together and embrace each other with love and understanding.
This incident, which involved a dispute between siblings and siblings, was reported in depth by the media, and quickly aroused widespread concern and heated discussions among people from all walks of life! Some people have accused Zhu Liqiang of treachery and even seriously lacked basic moral standards; at the same time, some people have questioned Zhu Liping's decision to lend her brother the house to live in, suggesting that there may have been mistakes in her decision-making process, and she has shown a lack of broad vision and far-reaching foresight.
Undoubtedly, Zhu Liqiang's behavior is embarrassing. In the darkest moment of his life, Zhu Liping's sister reached out to him and selflessly provided a place for him and his new wife to live temporarily.
However, as time passed, the younger brother not only failed to return the house on time, but instead developed a strong desire to possess the property, which seemed to be taken for granted, and when the elder sister was faced with a difficult situation, he was indifferent and even spoke wildly, which was obviously intolerable in terms of basic human morality.
However, from another point of view, Zhu Liping, as an older sister, did have a certain degree of mistakes in the decision-making process. She could have signed a detailed lease agreement with her brother at the very beginning instead of handing over the house to him at an early stage.
In addition, she should not provide a loan guarantee for her younger brother without her husband's consent, which would lead to the outbreak of conflicts within the family.
However, the kindness and sacrifice shown by Zhu Liping cannot be ignored. Out of filial piety to her parents, she would rather suffer her own losses than try her best to fulfill her elderly father's wishes, which is really commendable.
In the end, she chose to forgive her brother's mistake and did not sell the house at a high price like a speculator, but left it to her own brother, which shows that she cherishes her family far more than material wealth.
This incident is a profound reminder of the need for greater communication and understanding among family members. Although family affection is extremely precious, it also needs to be bound by moral norms, and its purity must not be tarnished by financial gain.
The younger brother should be grateful, the older sister should have a long-term vision, and both parties need to put themselves in each other's shoes and eliminate the estrangement with sincere love, which is the right way to maintain the family relationship.
In this world, family affection is the most sacred and inviolable emotional bond. Through this incident, let us work together to embrace family affection with understanding, cherish relatives with tolerance, and resolve family disputes with forgiveness.
Only in this way can our family affection last forever and be by our side forever.
