Zhang Wei is a young man who works hard in other places, working alone in the city. His mother, Granny Zhang, is old and still lives in the countryside of her hometown. Zhang Wei's brother Zhang Hao and sister-in-law Li Li also live in their hometown, and their family has lived in that small village for generations.
Zhang Wei's hometown is located in a small, scenic village surrounded by green fields and dense woods. There is a small stream that meanders through the village, the water is crystal clear, and from time to time you can see a small fish or two swimming in the water. Granny Zhang's old house is located at the east end of the village, and although it is old, it is still neat and clean.
Although Zhang Wei has been working in the field for several years, his longing for his hometown and mother has never disappeared. Every time he thinks of his mother, who lives alone in an old house, he feels guilty and blames himself. As an only child, he understands that he deserves to take better care of his mother's life rather than leave her alone in her hometown.
One day, Zhang Wei made up his mind that he would give his mother a sum of money every month to improve her living environment. Although his job in the city does not pay too much, it is enough to support himself and save some money every month. After careful consideration, Zhang Wei decided to give his mother 2,000 yuan a month.
"Mom, I will give you 2,000 yuan every month in the future, I hope this money can make your life better. Zhang Wei called his mother and said sincerely.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Wei immediately opened the mobile banking and prepared to send money to his mother. He carefully entered his mother's bank card number and the amount to be transferred, and finally clicked the remittance button after confirming that it was correct.
"You have successfully remitted RMB 2,000 to Zhang Aizhen. It shows a message that the transfer has been successful.
Zhang Wei took a deep breath and smiled with satisfaction. He dialed his mother's phone number to tell her the good news in person.
"Hey, Mom, I just sent you the money, did you receive it?"
"Received it, thank you, son, mom is very happy. On the other end of the phone, Granny Zhang's voice was full of joy.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Wei's heart was full of relief and warmth. Although he can't be by his mother's side all year round, at least he has the ability to use money to improve his mother's life. However, money alone is not enough, and he secretly made up his mind that he must take time to go back to his hometown to see his mother and accompany her every day of his old age.
Granny Zhang also began to eat well, buying some fresh vegetables and meat every day to cook delicious meals for herself. Sometimes she would make more and pack them up and share them with the neighbors and aunts. The people in the village exaggerated that the mother-in-law had become younger and her spirit was much better.
"Oh, Granny Zhang has been really prosperous recently, is her son making money in the city?" Aunt Wang, a neighbor, quipped.
Granny Zhang just smiled and nodded, without much explanation.
Although Zhang Wei's quality of life has not changed much, he does not care. In his heart, the most important thing is to make his mother live a better life. Sometimes after work, Zhang Wei would deliberately take some long distances, just to save some travel expenses, so that he could also remit this part of the money to his mother.
One day half a year later, Zhang Hao and Li Li came to her mother-in-law's house as guests, and they were immediately surprised to see the new furniture in the house and Granny Zhang's energetic appearance.
"Mom, you've been doing really well lately, and these new furniture have cost a lot of money, right?" Zhang Hao asked.
"Yes, Mom, do you have any income? Li Li also asked curiously.
Granny Zhang just smiled vaguely and did not answer positively. Seeing their mother like this, Zhang Hao and Li Li couldn't help but have some suspicions. Could it be that the mother has something else to hide? Where does the money come from? The two of them were full of suspicions, but they were not good at talking.
Just when Zhang Hao and Li Li were puzzled in their hearts, Granny Zhang finally opened her mouth to explain the source of the money.
"Actually, it's your brother who sends me 2,000 yuan every month. Granny Zhang said, "He is a good boy who is filial and reluctant, and he is reluctant to let me live too hard at home." "
"What?! Wei Wei will give you 2,000 yuan a month?" Zhang Hao and Li Li were shocked, completely unexpectedly the source of the money.
"Yes, your brother is really not simple, and he has to be so filial to me when he works hard to earn money in other places. Granny Zhang's face was filled with pride.
At this moment, Zhang Wei hurried back to his hometown. He had already taken a good vacation and wanted to spend time with his mother. Pushing open the door, I saw my mother and sister-in-law sitting in the living room talking about something, and when they saw Zhang Wei coming, the three of them were stunned.
"Weiwei, when did you come back?" Granny Zhang happily greeted her.
"Mom, I just wanted to come back to see you, but I didn't expect my brother and sister-in-law to be there. Zhang Wei said with a smile.
"Brother, you give your mother 2,000 yuan a month, why did you never tell us?" Zhang Hao asked reproachfully.
Zhang Wei learned that his mother had told his brother and sister-in-law about it. He smiled and nodded, proud to do it for his mother.
Looking at the expressions on the faces of his mother and sister-in-law, Zhang Wei's heart was full of relief and gratitude. Being able to use his own salary to improve his mother's life is his duty as a son, and it is also his supreme honor. However, Zhang Wei was also a little ashamed that he should have come back to see his mother as soon as possible, instead of leaving her alone at home.
From now on, he must spare more time to go back to his hometown to accompany his mother. Money is important, but the warmth of family affection is the most precious gift in the world. Zhang Wei secretly made up his mind that he would use his actions to honor his mother and make up for his past negligence.
Although they were deeply admired for Zhang Wei's actions at first, Zhang Hao and Li Li soon had some doubts. As Zhang Wei's brother and sister-in-law, they know very well that Zhang Wei's income from work in other places is not high.
"Weiwei, you give your mother 2,000 yuan every month, which is not a small amount. Can you afford to be out there alone?" Zhang Hao asked with a frown.
Li Li also said: "Yes, Weiwei, you have to think twice, if something goes wrong in the future, it will be troublesome." "
"Brother and sister-in-law, don't think about it. I had already thought twice and decided to give my mother 2,000 yuan a month. Zhang Wei said firmly, "You can rest assured." "
Early in the morning, Granny Zhang came to Zhang Hao's house, looking anxious.
"Haozi, come and see what's going on!" Granny Zhang took out her mobile phone, which showed a bank text message.
Zhang Hao and Li Li's faces suddenly changed after seeing it, and they hurriedly called Zhang Wei over. Under the watchful eyes of the group, Zhang Wei opened the mobile banking and checked the remittance records of the past six months.
"What's going on? I send money to my mom every month, how could someone steal it?" Zhang Wei was stunned, and his heart was mixed.
Knowing the whole story, Zhang Wei suddenly fell into deep self-blame and anger. It turned out that he had been deceived by others for the past six months, and his mother had also suffered a bad thing, how could he not be angry? What was even more distressing was how disappointed her mother was that all the money she had been looking forward to for a long time had been taken away by others.
However, Zhang Wei is also reflecting on his own negligence. If he could have come back to see his mother often, instead of entrusting everything to money, would such a thing not have happened? Family affection is far more precious than money, and this is a profound lesson he learned from this loss.
It turned out that the man had been secretly watching Zhang Wei's every move. When he found out that Zhang Wei was sending money to his mother every month, he had a bad idea and secretly stole Granny Zhang's bank card number. Whenever Zhang Wei sent money to his account, he immediately transferred the money to his own account and cheated for months.
The thought of this cunning fellow fills everyone with endless anger and disgust towards him. He not only deceived the kindness of Zhang Wei's family, but also broke the heart of a filial son. It's an unforgivable sin!
This incident taught Zhang Wei and his family a profound lesson. They realize that money is important, but it is far more precious than caring for their loved ones. In the past six months, Zhang Wei has blindly focused on making money, but neglected the emotional connection with his family, which is his major negligence.
From now on, Zhang Wei is determined to take more time out to go home and have a look, instead of pinning everything on money. Because there is nothing more reassuring than a sincere affection between family members, and nothing is more joyful than being reunited with loved ones.
As for that despicable liar, Zhang Wei decided to bring him to justice, instead of countering violence with violence. After all, hatred does not solve anything, and only tolerance and forgiveness can make the world a better place.
After some reflection and persuasion from his family, Zhang Wei decided not to send money to his mother every month. The previous approach, while well-intentioned, created an opportunity for scammers to take advantage of. From now on, he will change his style and regularly take time to go back to his hometown to take care of his mother's daily life.
When Zhang Wei told his mother about this decision, although Granny Zhang was a little disappointed, she was more understanding and supportive.
"Weiwei, my mother knows that you give your mother money every month out of kindness. But you're right, the most important thing for our relatives is to care for them with their hearts, not to put money on them. Granny Zhang took her son's hand and said, "From now on, you will often come back to accompany your mother, and your mother is the happiest." "
Zhang Wei nodded, his eyes a little moist. Yes, no amount of money can compare to the warmth of family affection, and he finally realized this.
In this way, Zhang Wei began to return to his hometown regularly to reunite with his mother and sister-in-law. Every weekend or holiday, he would buy fruits and small gifts and make a special trip back to the countryside. The family got together happily, eating authentic hometown dishes, and chatting about homely topics from all over the world.
Sometimes, Zhang Hao and Li Li will also bring their children together, and the whole house will be lively and full of laughter. Children frolic in the yard, while adults sit in groups under the shade of trees and gossip about their daily routines.
Once upon a time, Zhang Wei was also alienated from his family for money, how ridiculous it is to think about it now. It turns out that the warmth of family affection trumps all the power of money, and as long as the family is together, it is the happiest thing in the world.
Whenever in the dead of night, Zhang Wei would walk into the courtyard alone, looking up at the bright crescent moon in the night sky, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
He remembered the stupid self half a year ago, blindly pursuing money, but ignoring the importance of family affection. If it weren't for this time, he might have made mistakes again and again, and eventually lost his family.
However, Zhang Wei is also glad that he is finally on the right path. Although he was deceived at the beginning, this incident made him realize the value of family affection again. From now on, he is determined to honor his parents with his actions, make up for his past negligence, and cherish the happy time now.
Because family affection is more precious than money, it is the most precious gift in the world. As long as you have the warmth of family affection, even if you have nothing, you are still happy. Zhang Wei secretly determined that he would definitely use his filial piety to warm his parents' old age and repay their nurturing kindness.
Overall, this incident taught Zhang Wei a heavy lesson. But it is precisely because of such a loss that he can truly recognize the preciousness of family affection, and thus embark on the right path. From now on, he will cherish the little things he gets along with his family more and love with his heart instead of pinning his hopes on money. Because only by loving with your heart will life be full of sunshine and life will be meaningful.
