56-year-old Li Mei has been living an ordinary and stable life. She and her husband, Zhang Qiang, run a small restaurant in the city, and although their lives are simple, they are also very fulfilling. Over the years, they have done their best to take care of their elderly parents, until that day, Li Mei's parents passed away one after another, leaving behind some inheritance.
However, this was supposed to be a moment of reunion, but instead the relationship between Li Mei and her sister Li Na became estranged. One day, Li Na suddenly called Li Mei and said in a cold tone: "Mom, let's divide Dad's inheritance equally." Li Mei was stunned, not understanding why family affection became like this.
"Sister, I know that you have been taking care of your parents, and I am also grateful for your efforts. But now that they're gone, we should also talk about the legacy. I also have my own family to take care of, so hopefully we can split my parents' inheritance equally. Li Na said.
"Sister, I know your current situation is not easy, but we are relatives after all. Our sisters have had a good relationship since childhood, why did we become estranged at this time?" Li Mei couldn't help but shed tears.
Seeing Li Mei crying, her younger sister Li Na was also a little overwhelmed, she reached out and gently patted Li Mei's shoulder, and said, "Sister, I know that you have been taking care of your parents, and I am also very grateful to you." But now that they're gone, we have to think about our lives too. I also cherish the relationship between my sisters, but sometimes the needs of reality have to be taken into account. "
After speaking, Li Na sighed, her eyes a little evasive. Li Mei looked at her with mixed feelings in her heart. They used to be so close, and now they have become like this. Li Mei gently wiped her tears and tried to keep her tone calm: "Sister, I know your thoughts, and I understand your situation. However, after all, we are relatives, so can't we be more considerate and understanding?"
Li Na was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Sister, I know your feelings, but I also have my own life to consider. Our sisters have had a good relationship since childhood, and I don't want to be estranged because of this. But now that we all have our own families, the focus of our lives is different. Although we are relatives, we also have to think about our own future. "
Hearing her sister's words, Li Mei's mood became even more complicated. She understands her sister's thoughts, but deep down she still wants to be close.
"Sister, I know that life is not easy now, but we are relatives after all. We have been close since childhood, and we should be more united even when our parents are gone. Think about it, if my parents were there, they would have wanted us to love each other and help each other. Li Mei said sincerely.
Li Na was silent for a long time before she spoke: "Sister, I understand your feelings. But you also have to understand my situation. We're all already married, and we can't be as carefree as we were when we were kids. Now we have to consider not only family affection, but also family, work and other aspects. Although we are relatives, it is inevitable that there will be disagreements and contradictions. "
"I know, but we should try to resolve these contradictions, not push the family away." Li Mei insisted.
"Sister, I don't want to alienate you, but sometimes the needs of reality do require us to weigh the trade-offs. We can try to stay in touch, but we can't exactly follow the patterns of the past. We are all adults, and we need to learn to understand and tolerate each other. Li Na tried to make Li Mei understand what she was thinking.
Li Mei was silent, she knew that what her sister said also made sense. It is true that they are no longer carefree children when they were children, and they all have their own families and lives. However, deep down, she still wants to be able to maintain a close relationship.
"Sister, I know you have a point. We are indeed no longer what we were when we were children. However, I really can't bear the affection between us. We've been close since we were kids, and I hope we can continue that relationship even when our parents are gone. Li Mei said sincerely.
Li Na looked at her sister's sad expression, and her heart became sad. She stretched out her hand to hug Li Mei and whispered, "Sister, I don't want to alienate you either." Although we have differences, we are relatives after all, and we must maintain this family relationship well. I will try my best to cooperate with you and make our relationship more harmonious. "
Hearing her sister's words, Li Mei was moved to tears. She hugged her sister tightly, her heart full of warmth.
"Thank you, sister. I know that life is not easy now, but as long as we understand and support each other, I believe that we will be able to overcome the difficulties and regain our old intimacy. Li Mei said.
Li Na nodded, tears glinting in her eyes. "Sister, we must maintain this family relationship. Although we have differences, as long as we understand and tolerate each other, I believe we will be able to go further. "
The two sisters hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to reunite their years of family affection through this action. They all know that there will inevitably be conflicts and difficulties in life, but as long as they support each other, they will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties and regain the intimacy of the past.
From this moment on, Li Mei and Li Na began to take the initiative to communicate and strive to maintain their family relationship. Although there are occasional disagreements and disputes, as long as they understand and tolerate each other, they can gradually come out of the haze and regain the long-lost intimacy.
Day after day, they no longer just argue about their inheritance, but genuinely care about each other's lives and help each other. Gradually, the relationship between them also became more harmonious. After experiencing this turmoil, Li Mei and Li Na cherish each other's family affection even more and are determined to maintain this hard-won bond.
In this way, Li Mei and Li Na began to work hard to repair their relationship. They know that it takes patience and hard work to regain their former intimacy.
One day, Li Mei took the initiative to invite Li Na to have a homely meal together. When Li Na arrived at Li Mei's house, the table was filled with their favorite dishes as children.
"Sister, these are our favorite dishes when we were young. I specially made your favorite sauce fried pork and mom's braised fish. Li Mei said with a smile.
Li Na's eyes instantly moistened. "Sister, how do you remember this? It's been a long time since we've eaten these dishes together. She hugged Li Mei excitedly, and tears couldn't help but fall.
"Sister, I know we had a bit of a distant, but I really want to regain the closeness we've had since childhood. We are relatives and should help each other and care for each other. Li Mei said softly.
The two sisters sat down and chatted about the old days as they savored a delicious home-cooked meal. It was as if they were back in their childhood, and those happy times came to mind.
"I remember when we were young, my dad used to take us to the park to play, and the three of us were swinging around on the swings together, laughing so happily." Li Na recalled.
"Yes, at that time, we didn't have to worry about anything, as long as we were around our families, we felt extremely safe and happy." Li Mei also recalled the past, and her eyes were full of tenderness.
The two chatted about the rise, and couldn't help but look at each other and laugh. After all these years, they finally found that sense of intimacy again.
"Sister, I'm really glad we were able to get back together. I know it's not easy for us right now, but as long as we support each other, we can get through it. Li Mei said sincerely.
"Sister, so am I. We've been close since we were kids, and I really don't want to be estranged because of some real issues. We must maintain this family relationship well. Li Na nodded solemnly.
In this way, the two sisters began a brand new relationship. They are no longer just arguing about inheritance, but genuinely care about each other's lives and help each other.
Sometimes, Li Mei will take the initiative to call Li Na and care about her work and family. And Li Na will often come to Li Mei's house to help take care of the business. The way the two get along has become more harmonious and tacit.
One day, Li Mei offered to go on a trip together, and she said that they had never relaxed well in all these years. Li Na readily agreed, and the two discussed where to play.
Since that trip, Li Mei and Li Na's relationship has become more harmonious. They not only help each other in life, but also give each other great spiritual support.
One day, Li Mei received an important phone call. Her husband, Zhang Qiang, was in a car accident and fell into a coma. Li Mei immediately rushed to the hospital and anxiously waited for her husband's condition.
Soon, Li Na also rushed over. Seeing her sister's painful expression, she immediately stretched out her arms and hugged Li Mei tightly.
"Sister, I must be sad when I heard about it. Don't worry, I'll be there for you always. Li Na said softly.
Li Mei nodded gratefully, tears streaming down her face. "Sister, I'm really scared. Zhang Qiang has always been my biggest support, what if something happens to him?"
"Sister, don't be afraid, everything will be fine. Together, we can help tensile strength through this difficult time. Li Na comforted.
In the company of her sister, Li Mei's emotions gradually calmed down. The doctor came to inform Zhang Qiang's condition that although he was not out of danger, as long as he insisted on treatment, he would definitely be able to recover.
In the days that followed, Li Mei and Li Na took turns taking care of Zhang Qiang to ensure that he received the best medical attention. Sometimes, Li Mei stayed in the hospital all night, and Li Na would come to replace her and let her rest.
"Sister, thank you so much. With you by my side, I can hold on. Li Mei said gratefully.
"Sister, this is what I should do. We are relatives and it is natural for us to help each other. I will always be by your side. Li Na held her sister's hand and said firmly.
In this way, with the joint efforts of the two sisters, Zhang Qiang finally gradually improved. Watching her husband slowly recover, Li Mei's heart was full of gratitude and relief.
"Sister, thank you so much. I don't know what to do without your help. Li Mei hugged Li Na tightly.
"Sister, this is what I should do. We are relatives and we should support each other. I'm glad I was able to help you. Li Na also hugged her sister tightly.
At this time, Zhang Qiang opened his eyes. He looked at the two sisters in front of him, smiled and said, "Meimei, Nana, you are all here." I can't thank you so much. "
Li Mei and Li Na looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of joy. They know that as long as they are united with each other, they will be able to overcome any difficulties.
Since then, the relationship between Li Mei and Li Na has become more intimate. They not only help each other in life, but also give each other great support mentally.
One day, Li Mei suggested going on a trip together, and she said that in all these years, they had never taken a good break. Li Na readily agreed, and the two discussed where to play.
In the process of traveling, the two got to know and trust each other better. They chatted about the past and talked about their lives now. Before they knew it, their relationship became even closer.
"Sister, I'm really glad we were able to reconnect with each other. Over the years, I've been thinking that if my parents were still around, they would be happy to see us so close. Li Mei said with emotion.
"Sister, so am I. Although we had differences, now I finally understand that family affection is the most precious thing. We must cherish each other. Li Na held her sister's hand, her eyes full of emotion.
The two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts full of anticipation for the future. They know that as long as they understand and tolerate each other, they will be able to go through every stage of their lives together and regain the family affection that has never disappeared.
After this trip, Li Mei and Li Na's relationship became more harmonious. They not only help each other in life, but also give each other great support mentally.
They know that as long as they understand and tolerate each other, they will be able to overcome any difficulties and regain the family affection that has never disappeared.
