I am the eldest daughter in the family, quiet and introverted, called Xiaoyu. My family is located in a small county town, and my parents are well-known local entrepreneurs. I have a younger brother who is six years younger than me and is named Xiao Ming. Although our family is not a wealthy family, it is a well-known family in this small county.
When I was 22 years old, my boyfriend Li Hao and I got married, and my parents were very satisfied with him, because he was the only son in the family, and there was no doubt that he would take over the family business in the future. Li Hao is a capable person and also takes care of his family, and after marriage, we lived a plain and happy life in a small house in the county seat.
Until one spring, the news of his younger brother Xiao Ming's marriage came out. My parents are very happy about this, because Xiao Ming has found a girl with a superior family background and a beautiful flower, which can be called a happy marriage. And so, preparations for a grand wedding began.
The preparations for the wedding fell on me and Li Hao, because my parents were busy with work, and my younger brother Xiao Ming was busy with the marriage. Li Hao and I also tried our best to prepare a perfect wedding for them, not only helping them choose wedding dresses and suits, but also arranging all the details of the wedding day.
As the elders of the family, we also prepared a generous gift at my brother's wedding for the sake of decency. After discussing with Li Hao, I decided to give a gift of 30,000 yuan, which is a lot of money for us. After all, we also need to take into account our own living expenses.
On the day of the wedding, I was wearing a pink cheongsam, Li Hao was wearing a straight suit, and we came to the wedding site with a thick red envelope in hand. The younger brother Xiao Ming and the bride stood on the rostrum, smiling and accepting the blessings of the guests, and the scene was warm and festive.
Li Hao and I found a corner and sat down, admiring all this. I looked at my brother's face full of happiness, and I felt relieved. It was also a scene I had been waiting for for a long time, I thought we were going to have a good time, but I didn't expect the turning point of the story to be imminent.
Li Hao and I sat in the corner, watching my brother and bride receive the blessings of the guests, and we were very happy. However, at this festive moment, an unexpected situation happened.
I suddenly felt an urgent urge to urinate, and I whispered to Li Hao: "Husband, I'll go to the bathroom, you just wait for me." ”
Li Hao nodded, and while continuing to observe the situation of the wedding, he said to me, "Go quickly, I'll wait for you here." ”
I hurriedly walked to the bathroom, thinking that I would solve it as soon as possible and return to Li Hao. However, just as I was about to reach the bathroom door, a scream broke my thoughts.
"Ahh
I subconsciously stopped, looked back, and saw a beautiful young girl hurrying through the crowd searching for her purse. The people around watched and discussed.
I sighed in my heart, it was really disgraceful that there were thieves on such occasions. I felt sympathy, so I went up to me and asked, "What's going on? Did someone steal your stuff?"
The girl looked up at me, her eyes full of anxiety and helplessness, she choked up and said, "Yes, my wallet on the table is missing, it contains my ID and some cash. ”
I took a deep breath, hesitating to step in. After all, this is my brother's wedding, and I don't want to affect everyone's mood because of such a thing. However, looking at the helpless appearance of the girl, I felt that I could not bear to ignore it.
Just as I was hesitating, a familiar voice suddenly sounded: "Xiaoyu, why are you here?"
When I looked back, it was my cousin's voice. My cousin's name is Xiaowei, and he is my father's nephew, who is also my uncle's son. When he saw me, he had an embarrassed look on his face, obviously not expecting to run into me here.
"Xiaowei, why are you here?" I asked curiously.
Xiaowei scratched his head and said with a smile: "Oh, I came to help set up the venue today, but I didn't expect to run into you." ”
I nodded, still remembering what had just happened. I turned to look at the girl again, still anxiously searching for her purse, and the crowd around her was talking.
At this time, Li Hao hurriedly walked over, looked at me and asked anxiously, "Xiaoyu, why haven't you come back yet?
I turned my head and said to him, "Li Hao, there is a girl who has lost her wallet, I am looking to see if I can help." ”
Li Hao frowned, he knew that I was a soft-hearted person, and I would often be involved in some troublesome things. He looked at me a little worriedly and said, "Don't worry about this kind of thing, let's go back." ”
I hesitated for a moment and looked at the girl, who was still looking around anxiously. My heart fluttered and I decided to help her.
I decided to help the girl get her wallet back, and I said to Li Hao, "Li Hao, you go back first, and I will come back as soon as possible." ”
Li Hao frowned, obviously not very satisfied with my decision, but finally nodded and turned to leave. I felt a little uneasy, after all, it was my brother's wedding, and I didn't want to affect the whole atmosphere because of a small thing.
I walked up to the girl and soothed her, "Don't worry, I'll help you find it." ”
The girl looked up at me, a look of gratitude flashing in her eyes, and nodded. Together, we searched around the wedding site but found nothing. I became more and more anxious, and this situation was so embarrassing.
Just when I was in a hurry, suddenly a voice sounded behind us: "What's wrong, what's going on?"
When I looked back, it was my father's voice. My dad looked at me and the girl with a look of confusion on his face.
I quickly explained to him, "Dad, this girl has lost her wallet, and I'm helping her find it." ”
My dad listened to my explanation, the expression on his face softened a little, and he nodded and motioned for us to continue looking. I was secretly glad that my father didn't blame me for interfering in such a thing, after all, it was at my brother's wedding, and I didn't want to cause anything unpleasant.
We continued to search through the crowd, but still couldn't find a trace of the wallet. At this time, a voice suddenly sounded beside me: "Xiaoyu, why are you here?"
When I looked back, it turned out to be a good friend of mine, Xiaoli. She was wearing a beautiful dress and walked towards me with a smile on her face.
I smiled and said to her, "Xiaoli, I'm helping this girl find her purse." ”
When Xiaoli heard my words, she immediately showed a look of concern, she turned to the girl and said, "Don't worry, let's look for it together, we will definitely find it." ”
The girl nodded and looked at us gratefully. I also feel a touch of warmth in my heart, after all, having friends around to help always makes people feel grounded.
We continued to search through the crowd and after some effort, we finally found the girl's purse under a table. She happily picked up her purse and opened it to see that the contents were still there, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, thank you!" the girl thanked again and again, her eyes full of gratitude.
I smiled and said to her, "It's okay, if I can help." ”
Xiaoli also smiled and said, "Yes, anyone who encounters such a thing will be anxious." ”
We sent the girl away, and our mood was much lighter. I turned my head to look at Xiaoli and said with emotion: "Thank you, Xiaoli, if it weren't for your help, I might be helpless alone." ”
Xiaoli shook her head with a smile and said, "You're welcome, this is what friends should do." ”
I was filled with emotion and grateful for the presence of these friends around me. Although there were some hiccups in the wedding, I felt warm and relieved to have so many people to help me in the end.
After we found the girl's purse, the atmosphere gradually eased. I felt an inexplicable sense of relief in my heart, after all, this little episode did not affect the atmosphere of the whole wedding, and everything was still going on in an orderly manner.
Xiaoli and I looked at each other and smiled, exchanging glances, as if we were tacitly expressing our gratitude to each other. This kind of situation made me feel the preciousness of friendship.
The wedding continued, and the atmosphere gradually warmed up. People are tasting delicious dishes in laughter and laughter, raising their glasses to wish the happiness of the newlyweds.
I stood on the sidelines, watching all this, and my heart was full of emotion. Seeing my brother and bride standing happily together, I couldn't help but sigh at the beauty of life and the warmth of family.
Just then, I suddenly felt a hand gently tapping me on the shoulder. When I looked back, it was Li Hao, and there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
"Xiaoyu, let's go. Li Hao whispered to me.
I was stunned, I didn't expect him to make such a suggestion. I looked at him quizzically and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you want to stay any longer?"
Li Hao frowned, and said with a wry smile: "When I went to the bathroom just now, I heard some not very good news. ”
My heart moved, and I nervously asked, "What's the news?"
Li Hao paused, and said with a solemn expression: "I heard that the bride price for this wedding is quite high, far exceeding the 30,000 yuan we prepared at the beginning. And there are also rumors that this bride price amount is paid by us. ”
When I heard the news, I panicked. I can't believe my ears, could it be that the 30,000 yuan we gave was rumored to be the amount of the bride price? This is simply unbelievable!
I hurriedly looked around, looking for someone familiar to confirm the news. Just then, I suddenly saw my uncle approaching.
I immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Uncle, do you know anything about the bride price? I heard that we paid 30,000 yuan, is it true?"
My uncle looked at me and said with a somewhat complicated expression: "Xiaoyu, this matter is indeed a bit complicated, and I don't know very well. ”
My heart sank, it seems that this matter is not so simple. I continued to ask people around me, hoping to learn more.
After some inquiry, I finally figured out what was going on. It turned out that on the wedding day, the younger brother's father-in-law trumpeted the wealth and status of his family at the banquet, and from time to time boasted about the glory of his daughter marrying into a wealthy family. He exaggerated the amount of the bride price several times and even claimed that it was us.
This incident made me feel very angry and aggrieved. Obviously, we gave a generous gift of 30,000 yuan, but it was distorted by others into the amount of the bride price. Such a false accusation is simply an insult and humiliation to us!
I felt a surge of anger welling up in my heart, but I couldn't help it. After all, this is my brother's wedding, and I don't want to cause anything unpleasant because of something like this. However, I can't just be framed and wronged!
In the face of this sudden false accusation, I felt extremely aggrieved and angry. I decided that I couldn't just go on like this, and I had to stand up and clarify everything!
I took a deep breath and looked at the bustling crowd of guests around me, and a surge of determination swelled in my heart. I knew I had to do something about it, and I couldn't let this slander continue.
I walked straight to my brother and bride with an indescribable feeling of discomfort, but I had to make this choice.
"Xiao Ming, bride, can I talk to you about it?" I said to them in a calm tone.
My brother and bride looked at me with a puzzled expression, but nodded anyway. We stepped aside, away from the guests' gaze.
I looked up at them, tried to keep my composure, and said, "I just heard some not-so-good news about the bride price. ”
The younger brother frowned and asked, "What's the news?"
I took a deep breath and told them honestly about the rumors I had just heard. I emphasized that the 30,000 yuan we gave was a gift and not a bride price.
When the bride heard my words, her face changed slightly, and she said in a little panic, "I...... I don't know about it. ”
The younger brother also looked a little stunned, he frowned and thought for a while, and finally said, "This ...... I need to talk to my father-in-law about this. ”
I nodded, thinking it was a good choice. I know that although my brother is a little stubborn, he will definitely not sit idly by for such a thing.
We decided to wait for the outcome of the conversation between my brother and father-in-law, hoping that everything would come to light and that there would be no more misunderstandings and disputes.
As I waited, I was very anxious, because the honor and dignity of our family were at stake. I hope that everything can be resolved as soon as possible and there will be no more unpleasantness.
After a while, my younger brother came over and said to us with a somewhat complicated expression: "I talked to my father-in-law, and he admitted that he had said the wrong thing, and that he had exaggerated the facts. ”
Hearing the news, the bride and I were relieved, and the stone in our hearts finally fell to the ground. I looked at my brother gratefully, filled with gratitude and apologies for him.
"Thank you, Xiao Ming. I said, "I know it's not going to be easy for you, either." ”
The younger brother shook his head and said with a smile, "Brother, this is what I should do." ”
I shook my brother's hand, and the estrangement in my heart seemed to disappear all at once. I know that no matter what happens, love and understanding between family members will always be paramount.
I turned to look at the bride, smiled at her and said, "I'm sorry for wronging you." ”
The bride also smiled, shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's all in the past." ”
We returned to the feast and continued to enjoy the festive atmosphere of the wedding. There was a small twist and turn, but in the end everything turned out to be beautiful. I deeply feel that the understanding and tolerance between family members are the most precious treasures and the deepest emotional bonds.
I decided that no matter what difficulties and challenges I would encounter in the future, I would remember this experience and learn to be more understanding and tolerant of the people around me. Because family harmony and happiness are the ultimate goals worth pursuing.
