She was a little irritated. In the past year, the old father who lives in the countryside always asked her about money every now and then, sometimes for two or three hundred, and sometimes for four or five hundred. She is actually a filial daughter. Her mother died of illness when she was five years old. It was her father who was both a father and a mother to raise her and her younger brother. She was very considerate and filial to her father, so as long as her father spoke, she would almost always respond to her request. In fact, my father rarely asks for living expenses from her. My father is not too old and is in his sixties. He can still use his own hands to help the neighbors in the village to support him.
But in the past year, my father has been a little abnormal and often asked her for money every few days. As long as she has enough money, she will transfer it on WeChat without saying a word. After asking for it many times, she asked her father, didn’t she give it only 200 last week? What are you asking for money? My father stammered and didn't say anything. She actually knew very well that her father must have subsidized the money for his younger brother's family. Her younger brother married a wife and gave birth to a son. The two couples have been living on their meager income. I built a one-story building in the countryside, but I have no money to decorate it for two years. Half a year ago, my father called her and said that you were my sister and that your financial situation was better than your younger brother, so he needed to help him. So she discussed with her husband and gave her 20,000 yuan to renovate. She and her husband did not dare to tell her, saying that she would lend it to her brother as a loan, and that he would return it to us when he had money in the future. Fortunately, my husband is a relatively generous person and his heart is like a mirror. He said, "Just fight." It's not easy for a younger brother to have a father!" She was so moved that she secretly shed tears.
Last month, his father called her to ask her for 20,000 yuan. She felt so sad. In fact, due to the impact of the epidemic in the past one or two years, her husband's business has plummeted. He often fished for three days and ran out of the Internet for two days. His two daughters are both cram school and interest class, mortgage and car loan, and the two couples are also in a state of turmoil. I thought to myself, why don’t you think about your daughter? My son is my biological flesh and blood. Did the daughter pick it up? But her father was reluctant to give up on the other end of the phone and said that it was indeed urgent...He had no choice but to transfer money to her father again. When she entered the password to the last digit, she shrank back and changed 20,000 to 18,000. Then he said to his father in anger, Dad, I have no money anymore, don’t ask me for money again and again, don’t you know that the epidemic in the past two years has affected our business and is difficult to do! My father was silent on the other end of the phone for a while, and seemed to be stunned and didn't say anything. She hung up the phone with great force. This is the first time in her life that she has lost her temper with her father. I guess her father didn't expect that her good girl would lose her temper with her and scold her.
After this time, my father never asked her for money, nor called her, and the father and daughter never contacted her again. Until a few days ago, she learned something from a fellow villager who came from the countryside: just a few days after he gave his father 18,000 yuan last month, his younger brother brought a brand new four-wheeler, which was more than 50,000 yuan. Now he helps people pick up goods in the town every day... She felt a little cold. Sure enough, her father bought a new car for his younger brother with his only savings plus the money he asked for.
Time passed quickly, and another half a year passed in a blink of an eye. In the past six months, her husband's business has gradually improved, and people are in a much better mood. In the evening, she received a call from her brother, sister, come back immediately, dad is almost out of control, life is in danger... She felt a darkness in front of her eyes, and she felt fainting after a while, and she woke up and couldn't believe it. In fact, she has been angry for a long time in the past six months. Isn’t her father in good health? Why is she almost out of control! Before she could think too much, she drove to the countryside immediately and ran all the way.
Unfortunately, she never met her father for the last time. After she arrived for more than three hours, her father had closed his eyes forever. My brother's eyes were already swollen from crying.Brother, what's going on? Dad... Why is Dad gone? My younger brother hugged her and burst into tears: Sister, dad found out that liver cancer more than a year ago. He kept it from us. I only found out recently. He knew that his brother-in-law's business was bad. Seeing that my family was in such a difficult situation, he refused to tell us to know! When he died, he didn't say anything else, just kept saying why you haven't arrived yet... Here is a suicide note left to us by my dad. I only now know that my dad gave me the money for decoration and buying a car!
She opened the suicide note with trembling hands. The general content on it was to remind her brother: After dad leaves, my sister will be your only dearest relative. You must be nice to her. Although my sister is your sister, she is a woman after all. You must protect your sister. She is so kind to you. When my brother-in-law's business is so difficult, she is never stingy to you. She gives you money to decorate and buy a car. Remember, you must be nice to your sister and don't let her suffer any grievances!
At this moment, she could no longer hold it back, and shouted heart-wrenchingly, threw herself on her father's cold body, and cried loudly...
