In an ordinary small Chinese town, there is an ordinary couple, Zhang Hua and Li Huaqiang. Zhang Hua is a diligent woman, in addition to work every day, she takes care of the family, she always believes that through her own efforts, she can give her family a warm harbor. Li Huaqiang, who works in the Municipal Construction Bureau, seems to be loyal and honest, but in fact he is ambitious, always dreaming of one day ascending to a higher position.
One night, Zhang Hua prepared a sumptuous dinner as usual and waited for Li Huaqiang to come home. There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Zhang Hua went to open the door with a happy mood, and when the door opened, he saw his sister Zhang Li.
"Sister, the food you cook is so delicious, I can't help but drool. Zhang Li smiled and walked into the kitchen.
Zhang Hua smiled and patted her head, "You girl, every time you come to my house, you go for my craft." Hurry up and sit down and wait for Brother Qiang to eat together. "
At the dinner table, Zhang Hua warmly served dishes for Zhang Li, but there was a trace of disharmony in the warm atmosphere. Zhang Li's eyes showed a hint of resentment, as if she had something to say, but she was afraid to say it.
After a while, Li Huaqiang went home. He seemed pleased, "Hey, the two beauties look so happy tonight." "
Zhang Hua smiled, "Brother Qiang is back, we've been waiting for you for a long time, come and eat." "
Zhang Li was a little restless, her eyes looked at Li Huaqiang from time to time, as if looking for an opportunity to speak.
"Hey, by the way, Brother Qiang, I heard in the bureau today, haven't you always wanted to take the position of director of that project? I heard that there is an opportunity now..." Zhang Li said tentatively.
Li Huaqiang's eyes immediately lit up, "Really, Lily, do you have any inside information?"
Although Zhang Hua doesn't understand these officialdom things, he can also feel the weight of the conversation. She asked with concern: "Brother Qiang, you have to be careful, I don't want you to work too hard because of these things." "
"Ha, Huahua, don't worry, man, you have to pursue a little, don't you?" Li Huaqiang said boldly, but he didn't notice the cunning that flashed in Zhang Li's eyes.
After the meal, everything seemed calm as usual, Zhang Hua and Zhang Li cleaned up the tableware, and Li Huaqiang was on the sofa in the living room reminiscing about the delicious food just now. However, Zhang Li's voice crossed Zhang Hua's ears and gently drilled into Li Huaqiang's heart.
"Brother Qiang, you have to trust me, I can help you. We can help you. Zhang Li's voice was low, but full of temptation.
Li Huaqiang looked at Zhang Li, as if moved by some kind of determination, and then, the conversation between the two became weaker.
From then on, the atmosphere in the home began to change slightly, Li Huaqiang's attitude towards Zhang Hua gradually became cold, and Zhang Li seemed to appear more and more frequently in their lives.
As the days passed, Zhang Hua began to feel different, but she never imagined that the conspiracy behind it was approaching step by step and completely turning her world upside down. Time flies like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, Li Huaqiang's career has taken a big step. He gradually rose from a small clerk in the bureau to an important position in the city government. Every time he mentions his achievements, he always proudly says to Zhang Li: "Look, without your support, how could I go so smoothly." ”
Zhang Li smiled and nodded, her words full of happiness and pride: "Isn't this all the result of your own efforts?"
However, behind all this lies their betrayal of Zhang Hua. Zhang Hua learned about Li Huaqiang and Zhang Li from the whispers of relatives and friends, and the news that was like a bolt from the blue made her almost collapse. She once wanted to question and save this marriage, but in the face of Li Huaqiang's indifferent response and Zhang Li's blatantness, she chose to let go.
Having lost her love and husband, Zhang Hua was not defeated by life, and she turned her energy to focus more on community work. Zhang Hua is now a volunteer in the community, often organizing everyone to participate in various public welfare activities. The residents of the community respect her very much, and she has gradually gained everyone's recognition with her practical actions.
"Sister Zhang, you are really amazing, everyone participated in this environmental protection activity organized by the community. Xiao Wang, a resident of the community, exclaimed.
Zhang Hua smiled and said: "This is also thanks to everyone's support and help, after all, one person's power is limited, and everyone works together to make the community better." ”
From time to time, the residents of the community asked Zhang Hua about such and such problems in life, and she always patiently answered them one by one. Slowly, Zhang Hua found a new value and position here.
One day, a new resident came to the community, Lao Liu. Lao Liu is a retired old man, he lives alone, and his personality is a little withdrawn. Zhang Hua kept trying to get in touch with him, hoping to integrate him into this big family.
"Uncle Liu, you see how good the environment of this community is, everyone is warm-hearted, if there is anything, we are willing to help. Zhang Hua encouraged.
Lao Liu nodded slowly, and a trace of warmth flashed in his eyes that he had never felt before: "Thank you, Zhang Hua." It seems that my old bones can still have someone to rely on. ”
While Zhang Hua is active in the community, Li Huaqiang's life is not as beautiful as it seems. In a high position in the workplace, there are constant turmoil, and he constantly feels a lot of pressure in the power struggle. and Zhang Li's marriage is not without cracks. With the rise of power, the relationship between the two has slowly exposed the rift of interests.
"Strong, you have to be careful in the bidding of this project, Mr. Zhang is not easy to deal with. Zhang Li reminded Li Huaqiang.
Li Huaqiang frowned: "I know, but it doesn't matter, I have my way." ”
However, the reality is far more complicated than he imagined, and he has to admit that he has encountered unprecedented difficulties. Slowly, he began to miss the simple and peaceful days when he was with Zhang Hua.
At a company cocktail party, after a glass of wine, Li Huaqiang confided in his colleagues: "Do you know, I had a good wife in the past, but I couldn't cherish it. ”
My colleague was puzzled: "What, isn't it good now?"
Li Huaqiang smiled bitterly: "Sometimes, you get the whole world, but you lose the hands that embrace the world." ”
However, just when Li Hua's power was in full swing, a sudden corruption scandal pushed him to the forefront. He fell into an unprecedented predicament, and Zhang Li was also involved in this turmoil. The sudden change made them reflect on their past choices. Zhang Li's pregnancy seemed to be a new life for Li Huaqiang, but this news became an excuse for him to completely abandon Zhang Hua, Li Huaqiang did not hide his indifference to Zhang Hua, and even when Zhang Hua asked to meet, he could ruthlessly refuse.
"Brother Qiang, I really don't want to see you and Zhang Li, you have become a thing of the past in my life. Zhang Hua's voice on the phone was unusually calm.
Li Huaqiang disagreed, and responded lightly: "Huahua, the matter has come to this, Lily and I will have a new family, and you yourself should look forward." "
But just when Li Huaqiang thought his life was about to get on the right track, the company was involved in a corruption scandal involving high-level officials. Due to the huge amount of money involved, the entire municipal government is highly concerned about it, and Li Huaqiang's position is in jeopardy.
"Qiang, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you this time, you have read those documents yourself, and the involvement is too great. Zhang Li said to Li Huaqiang with anxiety.
Li Huaqiang anxiously wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead: "Then what should I do? I don't want to end like this." ”
At this time, he thought of Zhang Hua and her connections and influence in the community. In despair, Li Huaqiang endured his self-esteem and called Zhang Hua: "Huahua, I know I am not qualified to beg you, but now I really have no choice." ”
Zhang Hua's voice was calm and calm: "Brother Qiang, you have never begged me for so many years, how can you do it today..."
On the phone, Li Huaqiang's voice was almost pleading: "This incident involves complexity, and I may lose my job or worse." We will have families with children that may collapse. ”
Zhang Hua took a deep breath, was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "This matter is very important, I need to think about it." ”
In Zhang Hua's heart, she didn't expect that Li Huaqiang would ask her one day. Out of a trace of intolerance for the family that used to work together, and for the sake of the soon-to-be-born child, she still decided to try to help Li Huaqiang. Through her connections in the community, Zhang Hua reached out to key people and, with the support of residents, planned a solidarity meeting for Li Huaqiang to defend his innocence.
Residents were unanimous in their praise of Mr. Li's character and contributions to the government, and the unexpected support led to a change in the direction of the investigation.
At a community gathering, Lao Liu said to Zhang Hua: "Zhang Hua, I really didn't expect you to help Li Huaqiang. ”
Zhang Hua smiled indifferently: "Sometimes, forgetting grievances is to better live in the present." ”
After this incident, Li Huaqiang finally realized Zhang Hua's greatness and his own short-sightedness. He repented and began to seek reconciliation with Zhang Hua. And Zhang Li also realized her mistake after experiencing the baptism of this turmoil, no longer the Zhang Li who held power hostage, but Li Huaqiang's worried mother who was about to have a child. The matter finally settled, and Li Huaqiang felt deep remorse and remorse after experiencing this incident. One day, he took the initiative to come to Zhang Hua's office, "Huahua, I feel sorry for my coldness and neglect of you all these years, and I hope to make up for it." ”
Zhang Hua looked at the man in front of her who had hurt her, and said softly: "Brother Qiang, let the past pass, we all have to continue to live." ”
Li Huaqiang nodded, Zhang Hua in front of him was more mature and strong, he felt that he was really blind.
And Zhang Li said to Zhang Hua after a dinner: "Sister, I was too wrong, I hope you can forgive me for my ignorance." ”
"Silly boy, you are my sister, and family will always be family. Zhang Hua replied gently, this is not only a tolerance for Zhang Li, but also a relief for the past.
With his efforts and contributions in the community, Zhang Hua was elected as the community director. The residents applauded her, with respect and love on everyone's face.
"Director Zhang, you are really a good example for us!" At the celebration of the community, Xiao Wang and other residents paid tribute to Zhang Hua.
Zhang Hua smiled, his face was filled with happiness: "Without everyone's help, I couldn't have done all this." ”
At the beginning of the new chapter of life, Li Huaqiang, Zhang Li and Zhang Hua have found a balance of coexistence in the re-established family affection and respect after so many ups and downs. Zhang Hua's life thus opened a new chapter, and her tenacity and kindness were finally rewarded by the world.
After the birth of the child, Li Huaqiang and Zhang Li also slowly learned responsibility and care under the influence of Zhang Hua, and the three of them moved forward hand in hand in mutual support and understanding.
On a sunny afternoon, Zhang Hua stood in the community's garden, looking at the blooming flowers, and she said to Lao Liu beside her: "Life will always give us unexpected surprises, are you right?"
Lao Liu smiled and nodded: "Yes, Director Zhang, who can predict what will happen tomorrow?"
