Li Qiang sat on the sofa in the living room, holding the remote control in his hand, and casually switched TV channels. Family gatherings are always like this, where everyone gathers to eat, drink, talk and laugh, children chase and play on the carpet, and adults sit around the sofa and talk about the parents. Li Qiang's gaze inadvertently fell on the tablet on the coffee table, which was the tool Wang Li used to manage the family's accounts.
"Leigh, lend me the tablet to watch the news." Li Qiang said casually and reached out to take it.
Wang Li was busy pouring tea for her relatives, and she answered without raising her head: "Well, the password is our wedding anniversary." ”
Li Qiang entered the password and browsed the web at will, and suddenly on a whim, he clicked on the application of the family account. He just wanted to see the expenses of the month, but he didn't expect the numbers on the screen to make him stunned.
"It's... What's going on? Li Qiang's voice trembled a little, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
Wang Li heard that Li Qiang's tone was wrong, so she walked over and glanced at the screen, and her face changed: "Oops, why did you suddenly look at this?" ”
"Why is this so much money missing?" Li Qiang's voice raised a few degrees, and he felt a kind of anger of betrayal.
Wang Li looked a little flustered, she explained: "This... For this money, I... I made some investments. ”
"Investment? What investment? How did I not know? Li Qiang's brows tightened, and he felt deep doubt and uneasiness.
Wang Li was hesitant, obviously not prepared to face such a question: "I... I thought you'd support me, so I didn't tell you. ”
The laughter in the living room came to an abrupt end, and all eyes were focused on Li Qiang and Wang Li. Li Qiang's sister Li Hua noticed the abnormality here and walked over: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”
Li Qiang handed the tablet to Li Hua: "Sister, look at it, our deposit is less than 2 million." ”
Li Hua took the tablet and glanced at it, also with a shocked face: "Wang Li, what's going on?" ”
Wang Li lowered her head, not knowing what to do for a while, and the whole living room fell into an awkward silence.
Li Qiang sat in the study, his brows furrowed, he turned on the computer and began to carefully check every transaction record. He needed to know where the hell the money went. Wang Li stood at the door, her hand nervously holding the door frame, she knew that this matter had touched Li Qiang's most sensitive nerve - trust.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Li Qiang's voice was low and trembling with a hint of trembling.
Wang Li took a deep breath, walked into the study, and sat opposite Li Qiang: "Li Qiang, I know I should discuss with you, I just... Just don't want you to worry. ”
"Don't want me to worry?" Li Qiang raised his head, his eyes full of confusion and disappointment, "We are husband and wife, and there should be no secrets between husband and wife." ”
Wang Li's tears rolled in her eyes: "I know it's wrong, I just... I just feel like this is a good opportunity to make our future better. ”
Li Qiang sighed, he knew that his wife had always been an assertive person, but this time the decision obviously exceeded his expectations: "What did you invest in?" ”
"It's... It's some financial products, and..."Before Wang Li's words were finished, she was interrupted by Li Qiang.
"Wealth management products?" Li Qiang's voice raised, "Do you know how big the risk is? The money we worked so hard to save, you put it in so easily? ”
Wang Li lowered her head, she knew that she had made a serious mistake: "I... I thought..."
"Why do you think so?" Li Qiang interrupted her, and he felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness, "Do you know what this money means to us?" ”
Wang Li's tears finally couldn't help flowing: "I know, I was wrong, I really know that I was wrong." ”
Li Qiang stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the night scene outside, his mood was extremely complicated. He knew that this matter was not only a matter of money, but also a crisis of trust between their husband and wife.
"We need to have a good talk." Li Qiang's voice calmed down a little, but his heart couldn't be calm.
Wang Li nodded, she knew that she had to face this problem, and she had to give Li Qiang a reasonable explanation.
The atmosphere in the study was heavy, and the silence between the two was heavier than any words. Both Li Qiang and Wang Li understand that this matter will not pass so easily, they need time, they need communication, and they need to rebuild trust with each other.
Li Qiang sat alone in the corner of the café he frequented, the latte in front of him was already cold, and his heart was like this cup of coffee, without the warmth of the past. Zhang Wei and Liu Feng hurried over, and as soon as they saw Li Qiang's face, they knew that things were not simple.
"Hadron, what's wrong? A preoccupied face. Zhang Wei patted Li Qiang's shoulder and asked with concern.
Li Qiang sighed and explained the family's savings problems. After Liu Feng heard this, he frowned: "Wang Li doesn't look like a person who will mess around, will there be any misunderstanding here?" ”
"Misunderstanding?" Li Qiang smiled bitterly, "The gap of 2 million, how can you misunderstand?" ”
Zhang Wei thought for a while and said seriously: "Have you ever thought that Wang Li might want to surprise her family?" Maybe she really thought it was a good opportunity. ”
Li Qiang was silent, he had never considered the problem from this angle. He had been immersed in his own disappointment and anger, and did not give Wang Li a chance to explain.
Liu Feng continued: "You are husband and wife, what can't you talk about? Besides, Wang Li is also for this family, isn't it? ”
Li Qiang's heart began to waver, and he realized that he might really need to have a good talk with Wang Li. He stood up and decided to go home.
"Am I too impulsive, you say?" Li Qiang's voice carried a hint of uncertainty.
Zhang Wei smiled: "Who doesn't have impulsiveness?" The key is to calm down and solve the problem after the impulse. ”
Liu Feng nodded: "That's it, go back and talk to Wang Li, I believe you can solve this problem." ”
Li Qiang glanced at his two friends gratefully, he knew what he had to do. What he needs is not blame, but understanding and communication.
When he got home, Li Qiang saw Wang Li sitting in the living room, her eyes were red, and she had obviously cried. He walked over and sat down beside her, and his tone was much softer: "Li, let's talk, I want to know what you think." ”
Wang Li raised her head, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by gratitude. She knew that Li Qiang was willing to listen to her explanation and was willing to give their marriage a chance.
The two began to talk deeply, and Li Qiang listened to Wang Li talk about her thoughts and plans, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided. He began to understand Wang Li's original intentions, and although her methods were debatable, her intentions were good.
Through this in-depth communication, the misunderstanding between the two was slowly resolved, and their relationship was strengthened because of this incident. Li Qiang realized that trust and communication are indispensable parts of marriage, and this experience will become a valuable lesson in their shared memory.
Li Qiang and Wang Li sat on the sofa in the living room, and on the coffee table were a few open ledgers and some documents, which Wang Li had prepared for explanation. Although Li Qiang's face was still solemn, he no longer had the anger he had before.
"Qiang, I know you're upset with what I'm doing, but I'm really doing it for the sake of our future." Wang Li's voice was choked with a hint of choking, and she handed Li Qiang a document, "Look, this is our education fund investment plan. ”
Li Qiang took the document, his eyes swept between the lines, and he saw Wang Li's plans for the future and the importance of children's education. His mood is complicated, both moved by Wang Li's consideration of the future of the family, and dissatisfied with her taking matters into her own hands.
"Leigh, why don't you discuss it with me? This amount of money is not a small amount for us. Li Qiang's voice was low and reproachful.
Wang Li lowered her head, her fingers twisting the corners of her clothes uneasily: "I... I'm afraid you won't agree, I want to tell you when it has results, and give you a surprise. ”
Li Qiang sighed, he knew that Wang Li was well-intentioned, but this approach undoubtedly touched his bottom line: "Surprise? It was a simple scare to me. We are husband and wife, and the big things in the family should be discussed and undertaken together. ”
Wang Li's tears began to roll in her eyes: "I know it's wrong, I just don't want you to have extra pressure, I thought I could handle it." ”
Li Qiang put down the document and shook Wang Li's hand: "I know you are kind, but you make me feel excluded by doing this." We are a family and should face problems together, not alone. ”
Wang Li nodded, she knew that she had made a serious mistake: "I will never do this again in the future, I will discuss everything with you." ”
Li Qiang took a deep breath, he knew that this matter would take time to digest, but he was willing to give Wang Li a chance to make corrections: "Then what about this investment?" We've got to figure it out. ”
Wang Li wiped her tears, and she took out another document: "I have consulted experts, this is the exit plan and possible damage assessment. ”
Li Qiang read the document carefully, he saw Wang Li's efforts and preparations for this family, and the dissatisfaction in his heart slowly dissipated: "Okay, let's decide together what to do next." ”
The two began to seriously discuss their next plans, and although the incident had a shock to their relationship, it also made them realize the importance of communication. They know that as long as they are honest with each other and face each other together, nothing cannot be solved.
As the night outside the window deepened, the conversation between Li Qiang and Wang Li gradually deepened. They sat on the couch in the living room, with books and materials on family financial planning scattered on the coffee table, and their tones were much calmer.
"Qiang, I know I'm too self-conscious this time, I should have discussed it with you." There was a hint of remorse in Wang Li's voice.
Li Qiang held Wang Li's hand and said gently: "Li, we are a team, no matter how big or small things are in the future, we will decide together, okay?" ”
Wang Li nodded, and a hint of relief flashed in her eyes: "I will, strong." I just want to create a better future for our children so much. ”
Li Qiang nodded understandingly: "I understand, and I also hope to give the best to the children." But we also need a sound plan and not take too many risks. ”
Wang Li picked up a financial planning book from the coffee table and flipped to one of the pages: "I consulted a professional financial advisor, and this is their family financial plan. We can put some of the money into this education fund and keep some of it as an emergency fund. ”
Li Qiang looked at the plan carefully, and he could feel Wang Li's intentions: "This plan looks good, but we still have to be cautious." ”
"Of course, we can try it on a small scale first and see how it works." Wang Li added.
The two of them are like this, you and I are talking about the future of the family and financial planning together. They decided to put some of the money into the education fund, but also set aside some of it as an emergency reserve for the family. Li Qiang also proposed that they should regularly check the rate of return on investment to ensure the safety of funds.
As the conversation progresses, the tension between the two slowly dissipates and is replaced by a new understanding and trust. They realized that as long as they were honest with each other and faced problems together, nothing could not be overcome.
"Okay, the matter is settled, let's not think too much." Li Qiang stood up and stretched, "The children should also go to sleep, let's go see them." ”
Wang Li stood up with a smile, and the two walked to the children's room together. Looking at the sleeping faces of the children, Li Qiang and Wang Li's hearts were full of warmth and hope. They know that as long as the family is harmonious, no matter what difficulties they encounter in the future, they will be able to face it together.
