Chapter 216 True Friendship
He Yuliang shook his head. "Nothing, I just passed by to take a look. But I think your business is doing pretty well!"
Li Ming smiled and said, "No, no, I'm just making do with my life. But it's much better than sitting idle at home."
He Yuliang nodded. "Yes, I admire your courage in facing difficulties and working hard to create a new life."
Li Ming waved his hands. "Oh, Yuliang, this is what we should do. Everyone has to be responsible for their own lives and can't always expect others to take care of them. I think as long as we work hard, there will always be a turning point."
He Yuliang knew that although his brother-in-law Li Ming was optimistic and courageous on the surface, he must have a lot of pressure and troubles deep in his heart. After all, unemployment is a big blow to a family, and they have a young child to take care of.
One day, He Yuliang went to visit his sister He Yushui's house and saw Li Ming busy repairing bicycles at home. He Yushui took care of the children and told Li Ming to take care of his health and not to overwork.
"Sister, are you living well?" He Yuliang asked with concern.
He Yushui smiled and said, "It's OK. We can just make ends meet. But recently, Mr. Li was laid off, so life is a bit stressful."
He Yuliang's heart moved. He knew that his brother-in-law had always been a face-saving person and was unwilling to borrow money from others. He decided to help his brother-in-law, but he didn't want to embarrass him.
So, he calmly took out an IOU from his pocket, which read: "Borrower: He Yuliang, Amount: 5,000 yuan, Loan date: From now on, Loan reason: None." He gently handed the IOU to He Yushui and said in a calm voice: "Sister, this is a little money I lend to you temporarily, I hope it can help you tide over the difficulties. When your life gets better, just pay me back, don't worry too much."
He Yushui took the IOU, read the contents, and a touch of emotion and gratitude flashed in her eyes. She knew that this money was very important to their family, and she was extremely grateful that He Yuliang could help them so generously.
"Yuliang, this...thank you so much." He Yushui said excitedly.
He Yuliang shook his head. "Sister, this is not a big deal. Just accept it. As long as we can unite as one and face the challenges of life together, I believe everything will be fine."
He Yushui held the IOU tightly, her eyes full of gratitude and determination. She was determined to make good use of the money to bring a better life to her family.
In the following days, He Yuliang continued to work hard and constantly improve his photography skills, and he gradually began to achieve some success. His brother-in-law Li Ming also insisted on his car repair business, which gradually became prosperous, and the family's life gradually improved.
As time went by, brother-in-law Li Ming's bicycle repair business became more and more prosperous, and his life gradually got back on track. However, He Yuliang still had the IOU in his mind, and he hoped to get the money back as soon as possible to avoid any inconvenience to his brother-in-law and sisters.
So, he decided to take advantage of his free time on a weekend to visit his brother-in-law and sister's home to discuss the IOU.
That afternoon, He Yuliang came to his brother-in-law's house and saw Li Ming and He Yushui who were busy. Li Ming was repairing a bicycle, and He Yushui was helping to pass tools beside him. The family was having a great time.
"Brother-in-law, sister, sorry to bother you. I have something to discuss with you." He Yuliang walked over and said with a smile.
Li Ming stopped what he was doing and looked up. "Yuliang, you're here! What's going on?"
He Yushui also stopped what he was doing and looked at He Yuliang with concern. "Yuliang, tell us if you have any questions. We will try our best to help you."
He Yuliang nodded. "It's like this. Actually, I came to discuss the IOU with you. I know you are not well off right now, so it's understandable that you don't want to pay me back. I thought about it and decided that as long as you return the IOU to me, I will give you the supermarket. This can be considered as a way of repaying you."
Li Ming and He Yushui were both surprised when they heard this. They didn't expect He Yuliang to be so generous and willing to give the supermarket to them.
"Yuliang, you are so nice!" He Yushui said excitedly.
Li Ming also looked grateful, "Yes, Yuliang, we are really grateful for what you did."
He Yuliang waved his hand, "Brother-in-law, this is nothing. I know you need money to support your family, and it is reasonable for me to do this. As long as you live well, I will be satisfied."
So, they discussed it and decided to wait until next month when Li Ming's business improved and he had some savings before returning the IOU to He Yuliang.
In the following days, the brother-in-law and his family worked harder and their business became more and more prosperous. With their efforts, they finally had some savings and could return the IOU to He Yuliang.
On a clear morning, He Yuliang received an IOU from his brother-in-law and sister. He was filled with emotion and knew that he had made the right decision.
He Yuliang felt relieved when he heard that his brother-in-law and his sister were going to return the money to him. He knew that although his brother-in-law and his sister's family had gone through a difficult period, they still maintained an optimistic and strong attitude, which made him feel very relieved.
So, one day, He Yushui happily came to He Yuliang's house, intending to repay the money he owed him.
He Yuliang couldn't help but smile when he saw his sister's happy face, "Sister, why are you so happy?"
He Yushui smiled and said, "Yuliang, I came here today to pay you back the money I owe you! Our business has been doing better recently, and we have some spare money, so I want to pay you back as soon as possible."
He Yuliang felt touched after hearing this. He knew that his sister and her family did this out of genuine gratitude and friendship.
"Sister, it's really great that you did this. I don't know how to thank you." He Yuliang said.
He Yushui waved his hands, "No, no, it's nothing. Your family supported us when we needed help the most, and now we hope to give you some help in return."
As he spoke, He Yushui took out a wad of money from his bag and handed it to He Yuliang. He Yuliang took the money, and his heart was filled with emotion. He knew that this was not just a sum of money, but also a sincere friendship and family affection.
