Zhang Wei and his wife, Li Na, are a young couple in their early thirties. Zhang Wei works as an engineer in a manufacturing company and has a steady and responsible personality; Li Na is a kindergarten teacher, gentle and patient. They have an 8-year-old son, Zhang Xiaoming, who is a lively and cheerful child who loves to learn, and has a very good relationship with his parents.
A few years ago, they bought a Golden Retriever retriever in a pet store and named it "Wangcai". Wangcai is clever and cute, and he has gradually grown up and become a big and energetic dog. It has a docile personality, never takes the initiative to harass others, and is a loyal family member. The family loved the dog very much and loved him as a family member.
Uncle Wang, a neighbor of Zhang Wei's family, is a grumpy old man. He lived alone next door, and his children were married and rarely came to visit him. Uncle Wang often complains about this and that, and he has a bad relationship with his neighbors. What he hates the most is the Zhang family's dog Wangcai, who often complains about its noisy barking. However, the Zhang family tried their best to discipline Wangcai to avoid it really harassing others.
One day, Zhang Xiaoming was playing in the yard of his home, and he didn't notice that Wangcai came out of nowhere, and the two happened to collide together. Wangcai, who was originally docile, subconsciously bit Xiao Ming's arm hard! Xiao Ming was frightened, and cried loudly while holding his bleeding arm.
Li Na hurriedly rushed out to check when she heard the voice, and was frightened when she saw this scene, so she hurriedly hugged Xiao Ming to comfort her, and at the same time shouted for help. Zhang Wei rushed to hear the news and saw the injuries of the dog and his son, and immediately became angry.
"You damn dog, how dare you bite my son!" Zhang Wei was so angry that he rushed forward and kicked Wangcai away. Wangcai was in pain, screaming wildly, and wanted to fight back. Zhang Wei hurriedly picked up a stick and beat Wangcai violently.
"Stop! Li Na screamed in fright, for fear that her husband would hurt her. Xiao Ming also cried and shouted: "Dad, don't kill Wangcai!"
However, Zhang Wei was already carried away by the rage, he didn't hear the pleading of his wife and children, and just hit Wangcai mechanically. The poor big dog under the stick barely fought back, and soon lost his breath and fell motionless in a pool of blood.
At this moment, Uncle Wang was attracted by the noise and saw this scene. "You killed the dog! I'm going to settle accounts with you!" Uncle Wang pointed at Zhang Wei and scolded.
Zhang Wei calmed down at this time, and when he saw that the dog had died, his heart suddenly cooled half. Li Na stepped forward to comfort her husband, and Xiao Ming was still crying on the side.
"You must pay me 30,000 yuan in compensation, otherwise I will call the police!" Uncle Wang said proudly. The family looked at each other and fell into an unprecedented predicament.
Afterwards, the family sat in the living room to discuss countermeasures. Zhang Wei said guiltily: "I was too impulsive, and I actually beat Wangcai to death, which can make things bigger." "
Li Na comforted: "No way, that's to protect Xiao Ming, your reaction is normal." But Uncle Wang's demand for compensation is too much, isn't it?"
Xiao Ming sobbed and said: "We shouldn't lose him so much money, Wangcai is no longer there, it is the most pitiful." "
Zhang Wei sighed: "But if you don't pay compensation, Uncle Wang said that he would call the police, then we will be even more troublesome." After all, we hurt his pet dog, and legally speaking, we may have to bear some responsibility. "
Zhang Wei asked: "Then if we are really sued in court, how much compensation will we be awarded?" "This requires a combination of factors, including the consequences of the injury, the breed of the dog, and the degree of your fault, which is generally between a few thousand and one or two thousand," the lawyer said. "
After returning home, Zhang Wei informed his wife and children of the lawyer's analysis. Everyone is discussing word by word, and it seems that they all have some ideas.
Zhang Wei tried to reason and explain with him, but Uncle Wang did not listen to persuasion, and the two sides broke up unhappily. In the following days, Uncle Wang often cursed loudly at the door of his house, disrupting the life of the Zhang family, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.
Soon, Zhang Wei's family really received a summons from the court, and Uncle Wang had already sued the matter in court. On the day of the trial, the plaintiffs and defendants and their lawyers separately stated their views.
The first is Uncle Wang's appeal: his lawyer claimed that Zhang Wei's family was not strict in discipline, causing the family dog to bite innocent passers-by, which constituted gross negligence, and demanded compensation of 30,000 yuan for damages.
Zhang Wei then made a statement: admitting that there was indeed management negligence, but believing that the amount of compensation exceeded a reasonable level. They tried to reconcile but were refused. Zhang Wei had to shoot the dog to death in an emergency to protect his son, although the approach was biased, but out of legitimate defense.
The parties on both sides said a word, and the scene was quite chaotic for a while. Eventually, the bailiffs and staff pulled the two sides apart, and order was gradually restored.
Li Na saw her husband's entanglement, and stepped forward to comfort: "Although money is very important to us, Xiao Ming's health is the most important thing. We should thank the judge for this just verdict and accept it obediently. "
Zhang Wei nodded, weighing it repeatedly in his heart. In the end, for the sake of his son and his family, he made up his mind.
Uncle Wang was stunned for a moment, then pondered for a moment and asked, "You mean that you want to use labor services to offset the compensation?" Zhang Wei nodded.
Uncle Wang thought about it, although he was a little reluctant, but seeing that Zhang Wei's family was indeed financially constrained, he didn't force his words anymore, and said: "Okay, but you have to make sure that you do your job well, and you can't be discouraged halfway." "
In this way, the two sides finally reached an agreement on the method of "compensation for work". Despite his desperation, Zhang Wei had no other choice. For the sake of his family and his son, he was willing to make such a sacrifice.
Starting next week, Zhang Wei came to Uncle Wang's house as promised and began to serve him. Since Zhang Wei is usually very busy with work, he can only use the weekend time. Every Saturday and Sunday, he would change into home clothes and come to Uncle Wang's house with cleaning tools.
At first, Uncle Wang was still quite harsh on Zhang Wei's service, always entangled in details repeatedly, and was also picky about his work. On several occasions, Zhang Wei was even annoyed by Uncle Wang's unreasonable requests, but in order to end it as soon as possible, he could only suppress his anger and try to endure it.
Gradually, as time went on, the relationship between the two sides began to soften. Zhang Wei is diligent and never perfunctory, and Uncle Wang also feels his sincerity. Sometimes, Uncle Wang would even take the initiative to give Zhang Wei some advice and guidance on housework, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious.
This experience has also made a great change to Zhang Xiaoming. At first, Xiao Ming felt very unhappy that his father wanted to serve that "bad neighbor", and his mood was very low. But later, seeing his father's determination and perseverance, Xiao Ming was deeply touched, and his admiration for his father increased day by day.
Once, Xiao Ming witnessed his father being severely reprimanded at Uncle Wang's house. He saw that his father was holding back his anger, and he didn't reason with Uncle Wang, but just continued to work silently. That night, Xiao Ming took the initiative to say to his father: "Dad, I admire you very much, you are stronger and braver than I imagined." "
Since then, Xiao Ming has never been depressed because of this incident. On the contrary, he worked harder and his grades were always at the top. His admiration for his father turned into motivation to learn.
Uncle Wang said: "Zhang Wei, I was too impatient at the beginning, and I was a little too much for your family. However, through getting along for half a year, I found that your family is very good, especially you, who are diligent and practical, hard-working. Your family is a good person. "
Zhang Wei also said sincerely: "Uncle Wang, the previous conflict was indeed our fault first. We acted too impulsively and caused harm to you and your dog, and we hope you can forgive us. In the past six months, you have not only not taken revenge, but have given me a lot of life inspiration and experience, and I sincerely thank you. "
In this way, the once incompatible neighborhood relationship finally resolved the previous suspicion and reached a sincere reconciliation.
Since then, the life of Zhang Wei's family of three has been back on track. Zhang Wei cherishes his current work and family even more, and Xiao Ming has finally completely stepped out of the haze and concentrated on studying.
Sometimes, Zhang Wei will take the initiative to say hello to Uncle Wang and greet each other. Uncle Wang's decrepit face often has a kind smile.
Gradually, the sad past was forgotten. Zhang Wei realized that there are always some misunderstandings and contradictions in life, and the key is to resolve them with a tolerant and understanding mentality, so as to avoid the intensification of contradictions and the aggravation of harm.
The unity and harmony of the family has become the biggest motivation for them to continue to move forward. A bright future awaits them.
Looking back on this experience, Zhang Wei has mixed feelings in his heart. In the beginning, his impulsiveness and blindness paid a heavy price, not only losing the family's pet dog, but also getting involved in unnecessary disputes and lawsuits.
Although this incident has been painful, Zhang Wei's whole family has benefited a lot and gained valuable life experience. This experience will be an important asset in their long life journey ahead.
Time flies, and a few years have passed in the blink of an eye. In the past few years, Zhang Wei has made remarkable achievements in his career. With his outstanding performance, he quickly started from an ordinary engineer and gradually rose to the position of department manager, which opened up a new situation in his career.
Although work pressure also followed, Zhang Wei was not crushed. On the contrary, he faced it with a more positive and optimistic attitude. Whenever he encounters difficulties and challenges at work, he will patiently analyze the crux of the problem and actively find ways to solve it, and will never act impulsively as before.
Once, Zhang Wei's department had a serious technical mistake in a major project, which almost caused heavy losses. In the face of the criticism of his superiors, Zhang Wei did not shirk his responsibility, but humbly reviewed his negligence in project management and put forward pertinent improvement measures. It is this attitude of having the courage to admit mistakes and being open-minded and eager to learn that has won the appreciation of leaders.
In this way, with excellent professional quality and excellent professional ethics, Zhang Wei gradually became famous within the company and won unanimous praise from his colleagues.
At the same time, Zhang Wei's family life is becoming more and more happy. His son Zhang Xiaoming has grown up and has been admitted to a major university. Zhang Xiaoming still remembers that that difficult experience had a profound impact on him. It was his father's words and deeds that made him understand the value of tolerance and understanding, and also strengthened his belief in diligence and progress.
After going to college, Zhang Xiaoming studied harder, and he was secretly determined to repay his parents for their nurturing kindness with excellent results. In his senior year, he obtained the qualification of being admitted to a prestigious school with excellent results, and was finally hired as a management trainee by a well-known company in China.
Seeing their son's success, Zhang Wei and Li Na felt extremely relieved. The family has a more harmonious relationship and gets along in harmony. Li Na has been Zhang Wei's most solid support over the years, no matter what difficulties he encounters, Li Na will be considerate, understanding and supportive. With the care of his family, Zhang Wei can concentrate on his work and go all out.
One weekend, a family of three came to the community they rented again with mixed feelings. It's still the same as it used to be, but with a few new residents and faces.
They deliberately walked to the door of Uncle Wang's old house, but found that the doors and windows were closed, and it seemed that it had long been uninhabited. After inquiring, I learned that Uncle Wang died of illness last year, and the house had been taken over by his children.
Faced with this news, Zhang Wei couldn't help but feel emotional. Although there was an unpleasant experience with Uncle Wang back then, in the end, both parties reconciled through mutual understanding, which made Zhang Wei unforgettable for the rest of his life. It was this incident that made him realize the importance of tolerance and mutual understanding, and also shaped his values and attitude towards life today.
Standing at the familiar door, Zhang Wei said to his wife: "We have spent an important stage of our lives here." If we hadn't experienced that, we wouldn't be where we are today. "
When he left the community, Zhang Wei's heart was full of expectations for the future. He felt that his life had just begun, and that there was still a longer and broader road ahead. Whether it is his career or family, he has a humble and positive heart to face all new challenges.
At work, Zhang Wei is confident to make greater achievements with his ability and experience and create more value for the company. In terms of family, he hopes to support his wife Li Na and grow old together, and the relationship with his son's family can be passed on from generation to generation and will never fade.
Life is a long road, and Zhang Weishen knows that twists and turns are inevitable. However, as long as you have a broad and positive attitude, you will be able to overcome all difficulties and live the life you want.
For the future, Zhang Wei is full of infinite expectations. He firmly believes that good things are beckoning to him. And he will also take the initiative to embrace all this with his own hands.
