My family used to get along very well with the neighbor across the door, but after the neighbor made an embarrassing request to me and was rejected by me, our two families became enemies.

My neighbors are a young couple who are rural workers. They rent a house for 1,500 yuan per month.
This young couple is very polite and takes the initiative to say hello to us when we meet.
A young couple has a boy who is about 3 years old, about the same age as my grandson. He is very cute and has a sweet mouth. He calls me grandpa when they meet. My wife and I like the family next door very much.
My wife and I often give our children something delicious to eat and drink. If there is anything their family needs our help with, we are happy to help as much as we can.
After all, they are renting a house and may not be fully equipped with daily necessities. They often come to my house to borrow maintenance tools and the like. Not only are we willing to lend them to them, we also take the initiative to go over and lend a hand to help. We have never been annoyed.
But one time, my neighbor made a very embarrassing request to me. I didn't agree, so I offended the neighbor. From then on, the two families stopped talking to each other.
One night, a male neighbor knocked on my door carrying a box of milk and a bag of fruit.
My wife and I warmly greeted him to sit down, and were busy handing him cigarettes and tea. We also asked him why he was so polite, and he brought some kind words such as gifts.
I guessed that he might have something to ask me to do, so I said to him straightforwardly: "If you have anything to say, just ask me. As long as I can do it, I won't refuse."
The young man said: "Uncle, it's true. To be honest, I really need your help today."
I said to him with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, please tell me."
The young man said: "That's it. It's time for my son to go to kindergarten. , I am worried that there is no one to pick him up! My parents and my father-in-law and mother-in-law are in the countryside, and our family has a lot of land, so they can’t come to help us take care of the child. My wife found a job a few days ago, so she doesn’t have time to pick him up. You have a child. I saw that you drove your grandson to kindergarten in an electric car. The two children happened to be in the same kindergarten. Anyway, they were on the way. I wanted my son to take your ride. I will give you a monthly subsidy of 1,000 yuan. , what do you think? "

As soon as I heard that he made this request, I was immediately dumbfounded and refused him without explanation.
I said to him: "Young man, don't blame me for not giving you face. This request you made is too embarrassing for me. This is not a question of money, but a question of safety and responsibility."
The young man was a little puzzled. I further explained: "There is no problem in taking your child to kindergarten on the way, but have you thought about it? If there is no traffic accident, everything is easy to deal with, but if there is a traffic accident, I can't shirk responsibility! " "Civil Code " I have learned, I have to take responsibility! I am old and slow to react. If something goes wrong while driving, I cannot bear the responsibility!"
The young man was afraid that I would be liable for compensation, so he took pictures. He held his chest high and said to me: "Don't worry about this. If something goes wrong, I won't ask you to compensate. If you are not worried, I will write you a letter of commitment."
I patted the young man on the shoulder and said: " Let's just act in accordance with the law!"

When the young man saw my resolute attitude, he left angrily. I quickly forced the milk and fruits he brought into his hands.
After that, the young couple stopped talking to us, just like enemies.
This is what my neighbor brought up to me that really stumped me!
Everyone thinks, is it too much for my neighbor to ask me for such a request? Am I too unkind for rejecting him?
