"Uncle, why do you want to get married?" Xiao Ming looked at Uncle Li Qiang, who was sitting opposite, with a puzzled expression. Just now, he heard that the uncle was going to get married, which surprised this middle-aged man who had always been cautious.
Li Qiang sighed and touched his short hair: "You know, I'm in my forties, and it's too lonely to live alone." Look at your father and mother, how happy they are, I also want to find someone to live with. "
Xiao Ming frowned: "But uncle, don't you keep saying that marriage is a troublesome thing?" I remember you also said that when you get married, you have to support a large family, which is too tiring. "
Li Qiang smiled helplessly: "Yes, I did think so before. But after being alone for a few years, I realized that life was really lonely. Although your father and mother sometimes quarrel, they still support each other and care for each other. I would also like to have such a family. "
Xiao Ming was silent, he could feel the loneliness and yearning in his uncle's eyes. As a middle-aged man who has been single for many years, Li Qiang really needs someone to rely on. However, Xiao Ming is still a little worried, after all, the uncle has always scoffed at married life.
"Uncle, are you really ready? You have to think twice, don't regret it then. Xiao Ming said with concern.
Li Qiang smiled slightly: "I know you're worried about me, but this time I made up my mind." I met a wonderful girl who understood me and was willing to run the family with me. I believe that with her company, my life will be better. "
Xiao Ming looked at the anticipation in his uncle's eyes, and finally nodded: "Okay then, I bless you." I hope you all be happy!"
"Thank you, Xiao Ming." Li Qiang reached out and patted Xiao Ming's shoulder, "By the way, how is your father doing?" If you have any troubles lately, remember to pay more attention to them. "
Thinking of this, Xiao Ming couldn't help but sigh. He knew that his parents' married life was not perfect, but they had each other's support after all. In contrast, Uncle has silently borne the burden of life alone all these years, and he really needs someone to rely on.
However, Xiao Ming was still a little worried. He remembered that when he was a child, his uncle used to scoff at married life, saying that when he got married, he had to support a large family, and he was too tired. It seems that these years of lonely life have changed the uncle's mind.
"I hope this time he can find someone who truly loves him and is truly loved by him." Xiao Ming prayed silently.
"That's the girl I told you about." Uncle smiled and introduced, "She is a good girl who can take care of people, and the two of us are very compatible." "
Li Ting smiled slightly, reached out and held the uncle's hand: "Yes, the two of us have a good chat." I'm also looking forward to life ahead. "
Xiao Ming carefully observed the interaction between the two, and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the uncle has really made up his mind to get married."
At this moment, Xiao Ming's mobile phone rang. It was his dad who called.
"Hey, Dad? What's wrong?" Xiao Ming picked up the phone.
When Xiao Ming heard this, his heart suddenly rose to his throat. He hurriedly said goodbye to his uncle and Li Ting, and hurried home.
It turns out that Xiao Ming's younger brother Ah Qiang has been worrying about his marriage loan recently. Before, he planned to borrow money from the uncle, but the uncle refused.
"I'm getting married now, I don't have any savings, where can I lend you any extra money?" Uncle said at the time.
"Your brother is now under the control of the police and is in serious condition. Come back soon, your mom has broken down. Xiao Ming's father said in a choked voice on the phone.
When Xiao Ming heard this, his heart suddenly twisted like a knife. He hurried home to see his parents in tears and his younger brother Cuong being escorted to the car by the police.
"Mom, Dad, what's going on?" Xiao Ming asked nervously.
"What are we going to do? Will he be sentenced to a very heavy sentence?" Xiao Ming asked anxiously.
"We have already found a lawyer and hope for a lighter sentence. But your brother's behavior is just too much. Xiao Ming's father sighed, "I can't believe that our children would do such a thing." "
Xiao Ming was speechless, and he didn't know what to do. He remembered that his uncle had rejected his brother's request for a loan, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. If only the uncle could have given his brother some help at that time, maybe it wouldn't have caused the tragedy like today.
Just as Xiao Ming was immersed in self-blame and worry, Uncle and Li Ting also rushed over.
"I'm so sorry I heard about your brother." Uncle said with concern, "We must find a way to help him through this difficult time." "
Li Ting also comforted: "It doesn't matter, as long as everyone is united, we will definitely be able to help Ah Qiang get back on the right path."
Xiao Ming looked at the two people in front of him gratefully, and a warmth spontaneously arose in his heart. It seems that Uncle and Li Ting are not only two people who love each other, but also a pair of good people full of a sense of justice and compassion.
"Thank you." Xiao Ming whispered, "We will definitely find a way to help Ah Qiang." "
Just then, the police car drove up again, and Cuong was escorted back. Xiao Ming's family couldn't wait to surround them, hoping to understand the situation as soon as possible and find a solution for Ah Qiang.
When Cuong was brought back, the hearts of the whole family were pinched. Xiao Ming looked at the desperate look on his younger brother's face, and couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Cuong, how could you do such a thing?" Xiao Ming's mother cried and hugged Ah Qiang, "Haven't we been helping you raise money?" Why are you going to rob?"
Ah Qiang lowered his head and spoke for a long time: "I'm so desperate." As you all know, I can't afford that much down payment. I wanted to go to my uncle to borrow money, but he refused. I was so desperate to do such a crazy thing. "
When the uncle heard this, he felt guilty in his heart. It was true that he was about to get married, so he refused Cuong's request. But he never imagined that this decision would bring such a catastrophe to the family.
"It's my fault." Uncle sighed, "I should have given you some help at that time." If I hadn't rejected you, maybe this wouldn't have happened. "
Xiao Ming's father shook his head: "No, you can't be blamed for this. We, as parents, should also take better care of our children. We know that your two brothers are not doing well financially, but they did not reach out to help. This is also our responsibility. "
Xiao Ming looked at this family, and his heart was mixed. He knows that everyone is to blame for this family tragedy. The uncle's refusal, the negligence of his parents, and Keung's own desperate behavior are all triggers.
"What do we do now?" Xiao Ming anxiously asked, "Will Cuong be sentenced to a very heavy sentence?"
Hearing this, Cuong finally raised his head: "I really regret it. I knew I had done something wrong, and I was willing to accept punishment. I just hope that in the future I will have the opportunity to get back on my feet and live a good life. "
Uncle stepped forward and patted Cuong on the shoulder: "We will all support you." You are our family, and we will definitely help you through this. "
Li Ting also said gently: "Yes, as long as you sincerely repent, I believe the judge will also give you a chance." We will always be there for you and accompany you out of this predicament. "
When Cuong heard these words, his eyes finally turned red. He looked up at the relatives in front of him who cared about him, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
At this moment, the police came over: "We have contacted the lawyer, and now we can start questioning Comrade Cuong."
Cuong took a deep breath and followed the police into the interrogation room. Xiao Ming's family waited nervously, for fear that Cuong's performance would affect the final verdict.
After more than half an hour, Cuong finally walked out. There was a hint of exhaustion on his face, but his eyes became much more determined.
"How? How's that going?" Xiao Ming asked anxiously.
Ah Qiang nodded: "Fortunately, I truthfully confessed what I did." The lawyer said that as long as I continued to maintain this sincere attitude, the judge should give a lenient sentence. "
Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief and patted Ah Qiang's back: "That's good, I believe that as long as you sincerely repent, you will definitely be able to stand up again."
Uncle also stepped forward and shook Ah Qiang's hand: "Ah Qiang, I'm really sorry. It was my decision at the time that put you in a desperate situation. But from now on, I'll do my best to help you through this. Rest assured, our family will support you. "
Cuong nodded gratefully, tears glistening in his eyes. He knew how much damage his actions had caused to his family. But seeing these relatives in front of him who cared about him, he also felt an unprecedented courage in his heart.
"I'm going to make a good change." Cuong said firmly, "I won't let you down again. "
At this moment, the lawyer also came over: "Comrade Ah Qiang, the judge has made a verdict."
Xiao Ming's family held their breath and waited for the announcement of the results. This family tragedy will determine the future path of Ah Keung's life.
The lawyer's solemn expression made the whole family hold their breath. Cuong nervously shook his uncle's hand, his eyes flashing with fear and hope.
Xiao Ming's family couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard the verdict. The three-year prison sentence, while still a heavy blow, is far below their initial fears.
"Thank you so much for the judge's forgiveness." Xiao Ming's mother wiped her tears and said, "We will definitely help Ah Qiang and put him back on the right path." "
Ah Qiang excitedly stepped forward and shook the lawyer's hand: "Thank you so much, I will definitely change my life."
The lawyer smiled slightly: "This is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go." You should always keep a clear head, reflect on your mistakes, and don't repeat them. Only in this way can we truly get a new life. "
Ah Qiang nodded solemnly: "I understand, I will definitely work hard."
Under the guidance of his lawyer, Cuong slowly walked out of the courtroom. Xiao Ming's family surrounded him, and their faces were full of gratification. Despite all these hardships, they believe that as long as Cuong truly repents, he will be able to get back on his feet.
After leaving the courthouse, the family went to the uncle's house. Li Ting warmly entertained everyone and brought a steaming meal.
"Everyone must be hungry, come and eat something to make up for it." Li Ting said gently.
Xiao Ming looked at the gentle and virtuous woman in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. If the uncle hadn't met her, I'm afraid the consequences of this family tragedy would have been even more serious.
"Li Ting, thank you so much for your support." Xiao Ming's mother held Li Ting's hand, "If it weren't for your help, we wouldn't know what to do." "
Li Ting smiled and shook her head: "What's this, we are all family." Cuong is your child, and of course we will do our best to help him through this difficult time. "
Uncle also patted Cuong on the shoulder: "Cuong, I know you must be in pain and blame yourself now. But you have to believe that as long as you truly repent, we will always have your back. You are not fighting alone, our whole family will accompany you on your journey. "
Cuong lowered his head, and tears finally fell from his eyes. Over the years, he has been carrying the burden of the family alone, but he has never received real love from his family. And now, when he was in a desperate situation, his family members reached out and gave him the courage to regain his strength.
"I'm sorry, it's all because of me that my family has suffered so much." Cuong choked up and said, "I really regret it, and I will definitely make amends." "
Xiao Ming gently hugged his younger brother: "It's okay, Ah Qiang. We all understand your desperation and know that you have been carrying too much for our family. But from today onwards, we will continue to walk together and get through this together. "
The family hugged each other and cried, as if they wanted to vent all the pain and regret of these years. In this warm embrace, Cuong felt an unprecedented sense of security and belonging. He knew he was no longer alone.
At this moment, the uncle's mobile phone rang. He picked up the phone, and his face suddenly showed joy.
"Really? That's great! Thank you, I'll get over here!" Uncle hung up the phone excitedly, turned around and said to everyone, "My fiancée called just now, she said that their company is recruiting, and she is willing to give Cuong a chance!"
Xiao Ming's family was suddenly pleasantly surprised. After this family tragedy, there was such good news.
"That's great!" Xiao Ming's mother said happily, "Ah Qiang, you must take advantage of this opportunity, work hard, and get back on your feet!"
Ah Qiang nodded excitedly: "I will, I will definitely work hard to make my family proud of me!"
Uncle patted Cuong on the shoulder: "That's right." Rest assured, with the support of our whole family, you will be able to get back on your feet. "
The family gathered happily, as if they wanted to leave all these years of regret and pain behind. Despite all these hardships, they believe that as long as they unite with each other, they will be able to overcome the difficulties and embrace a better future again.
During the happy days at the uncle's house, Cuong's mood gradually calmed down. He finally realizes that he is not alone, but has a large family full of love.
In the past few days, Uncle and Li Ting have been helping Cuong prepare for the interview. They patiently instructed Cuong on how to present himself and how to answer the interviewer's questions. Cuong listened intently, his heart filled with gratitude and determination.
Finally, the long-awaited day of the interview arrived. Cuong arrived in front of the company building early, but he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"If I fail again, will my family be disappointed again?" Cuong thought apprehensively.
Just then, the phone rang. It was the uncle who called.
"Cuong, have you arrived? Don't be nervous, believe in yourself, you can do it!" The uncle's gentle voice came.
Ah Qiang took a deep breath and nodded, "Well, I've arrived." I'll do my best to behave well and I won't let you down. "
"Good, come on!" Uncle encouraged, "Remember, no matter what the outcome, we will always have your back." "
Cuong hung up the phone gratefully, feeling much lighter. He knows that the support of his family is his greatest strength.
The interview process was not easy, but Keung remained calm and focused. He answered the interviewer's questions truthfully and also took the initiative to demonstrate his professional skills.
After the interview, Cuong walked out of the company building full of hope. When he saw that Uncle and Li Ting were anxiously waiting for him, he couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart.
"How? How's the interview going?" Uncle asked with concern.
Ah Qiang smiled slightly: "It's not bad, I think I did a good job." However, the results will not come out in a few days. "
Li Ting patted Ah Qiang's shoulder: "That's great!" Whatever the outcome, you've done your best. I'm sure you'll get the job. "
Cuong nodded: "Thank you for your continued support and help. If it weren't for you by my side, I'm afraid I would have given up a long time ago. "
Uncle gently hugged Ah Qiang: "This is what the family should do." We will be with you until you regain your footing. "
A few days later, Cuong received a notice from that company. He passed the interview and got the job.
When Xiao Ming's family heard the news, they were all overjoyed. They know that this is not just a personal victory, but also a joint effort of the whole family.
"Great, Cuong! I knew you could do it!" Xiao Ming hugged his brother excitedly.
Ah Qiang's eyes moistened, and he said gratefully: "It's all because of you that I can cheer up again." Thank you for your continued support and love. "
Xiao Ming's mother wiped her tears and said, "Of course we have to support you, you are our child." From today onwards, you have to work hard, live well, and make us proud of you!"
Uncle and Li Ting also stepped forward and shook hands with the reinvigorated young man.
"I'm sure you'll be able to do your best in your new role. We will always be there for you and support you at any time. Uncle said sincerely.
Li Ting smiled gently: "Yes, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will spend it together." Because we are family. "
Cuong nodded gratefully, his eyes glinting with happiness. Over the years, he has been carrying the burden of life alone, but he has never felt the sincere love of his family. And now, when he hit rock bottom, his family did not hesitate to lend a hand, giving him the courage and determination to regain his strength.
"I will definitely cherish this hard-won opportunity and make my family proud of me!" Cuong made up his mind.
With the company and support of his family, Cuong successfully entered his new job. He worked hard and continued to learn and improve, and was quickly recognized by his leaders and colleagues.
"I've been working hard for the past two years to make my family proud of me. But I know that my success is not my fault. It is your selfless support and love that has given me the courage to regain my strength. I will always remember this kindness and repay you with my actions. "
Xiao Ming's family looked at each other and smiled, full of happiness and pride. They know that Cuong has completely stepped out of the shadow of the past and embraced a better life again.
This family, which could have been destroyed, is now more united and warm. They believe that as long as they support each other, they will be able to get through any difficulties in life together.
