There is a saying: Don’t go to your relatives if you are poor. This sentence means that if a person is in a down-and-out situation, don’t go to relatives’ houses casually. You think you are communicating and contacting each other. In fact, they look down on you and are unwilling to communicate more with you who are down-and-out situations. Therefore, your initiative is just your wish, and others don’t care or even disgust.
Li Qiang has a deep feeling about this, because he has also been down and has experienced all the ups and downs of being ridiculed by his relatives.
Li Qiang is a person with a relatively poor life. When he was a child, he suffered from a serious illness and had left hand mobility problems. When he was a teenager, his father died of illness again. Not only was there a missing person who shielded him from the wind and rain, but his father also spent a lot of medical expenses due to illness during his lifetime, and all of this money had to be repaid by Li Qiang and his mother.
Mother A rural woman is not educated and can only save some money by farming. In order to save money, Li Qiang dropped out of school and started working before he finished junior high school.
At that time, people were young and didn’t understand the worldly ways. They always felt that their relatives were just relying on them, but children still did not understand the rules of the worldly ways of adults.
He likes to go to his uncle's house to play, because his uncle's brother is one year older than him, and he has a common language. But every time the aunt said that her brother was not here. Sometimes she could hear her brother's voice, but the aunt still said that her brother was not at home. Occasionally, they were allowed to play for a while, and they would drive Li Qiang home at dinner time, and even gave only delicious food to his brother, allowing Li Qiang to watch it with a gaze.
He went to his aunt's house and was not well treated. His aunt only bought new clothes for his children, and Li Qiang's clothes were all clothes that his children did not wear particularly worn.
During the holidays, Li Qiang and his mother will always be the dispensable person. Even if they are notified to participate, they will go to gather the number of people temporarily. They will always be arranged in the corner when they are served on the table. The most overwhelming thing is that the leftovers of the meal will be taken home by the two, but they will always look like they are giving alms.
Li Qiang said that the appearance of those people will be unforgettable for life, and it is these people who inspired Li Qiang to work hard.
Although Li Qiang didn't go to school, he was very smart and hardworking, so he started to do small business. At the beginning, I just set up a stall to sell small items, but later I had a fixed stall and rented the door. Finally, I started a company bigger and bigger, bought a house and a car. In just over a decade, I went from having nothing to having a fortune.
Li Qiang thought that he was well developed and could make his relatives and friends no longer despise him so much. But Li Qiang still overestimated family affection.
Although he ignored his past grudges, bought a lot of gifts for his uncle and aunt, bought high-end clothes, high-end tobacco and alcohol for his brother, and bought a lot of supplements for his aunt, they were indeed not as cold as before, but their fingers towards Li Qiang moved from the front to the back.
Once during the Spring Festival, Li Qiang gave a gift to his uncle. It was a happy thing, but when he heard the words of his uncle and his neighbor in the yard, Li Qiang was so angry that he smashed the gift all over the floor.
It turns out that my neighbor envies my uncle for having a good nephew, and he gives him so many gifts every year. I am so envious of him. If I had such a nephew, I would be very happy.
But my uncle said that Li Qiang was useless and had no ability, just a great fortune. He didn't like him before, and maybe he should be lucky in a few years. It’s not like my own son, I can earn money safely every day as a bricklayer.
When he arrived at his aunt's house, he held his hand very kindly when he met, and he didn't dislike him as much as he was when he was a child. But after Li Qiang left, he heard the whispers from his aunt and son. The son asked why he had improved his attitude towards Li Qiang now. The aunt said it was because for the sake of gifts, otherwise she would not want Li Qiang to come in. She also said that although he is now well-developed, he is not as poor as he looks like he is, and he might not be beaten back to his original form.
This is my dear aunt, and every word I say is stabbed in Li Qiang's heart like a knife.
In the past, he was excluded and looked down upon by his relatives, but now he has become successful. The relative's attitude has become more ruthless, which makes Li Qianghan feel deeply.
Now Li Qiang also understands that the person you don’t like most is your relatives. Since they will not be satisfied with what they do, they will no longer value this affection in the future. It is better to give this heart to strangers in need, and maybe they will get such a thank you!
