Do you have any relatives around you who make unreasonable demands? Transfer the house to me for my children to go to school
Relatives, this word is sometimes so heartwarming, and sometimes it is like a biting cold wind, which makes people shudder. I also have such a relative, Uncle Li, who is my father's cousin. It seems to be close on the surface, but in fact the relationship is complicated.
Uncle Li's old house was about to be demolished, and he didn't talk much and made a request that shocked me - to transfer my house to him in exchange for his new house. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard this request.
"Uncle Li, is what you said true?" I felt like my head was in a mess.
"Of course it's true, your house is relatively new, and it just fits my needs." Uncle Li's expression seemed to be taken for granted.
"But this house was bought after years of hard work, how can I give it to you casually?" I felt my voice tremble a little.
"Oh, don't talk to me about this, now I'm in trouble, won't you help?" Uncle Li's tone became a little annoyed.
"It's not a matter of me not helping, it's that your request is too much!" I replied angrily.
This quarrel seemed to widen the distance between us. Uncle Lee began to show resentment with my parents, believing that they didn't help him enough. And I, too, began to suspect his motives, feeling that he was not trying to solve the problem, but for personal gain.
During this time, I felt that I had mixed feelings. On the one hand, I felt disappointed and angry with my relatives and felt that their behavior was unacceptable to me; On the other hand, I felt inner conflict and struggle, and I didn't know how to deal with this relationship.
However, it was during this time that I gradually understood a truth - the relationship between relatives is not always so simple, and sometimes it becomes distorted due to some entanglements of interests. And we, as an independent individual, should stick to our own principles and not be swayed by external pressures.
I don't know what will happen later, but I know that I will not give in to Uncle Lee's unreasonable demands no matter what. Because, this is my own house, I have the right to make my own decisions. And I will continue to work hard to maintain my independence and principle, and not to be disturbed by the outside world.
