As time passed, he gradually stopped hearing her mention that. He thought she had accepted the fact that the money was considered a total loss. However, one day, she suddenly came to him, her face was revealing and her eyes were radiant. She said that her old friend had returned, bringing the full amount to pay. Not only that, that person also burst into tears, knelt down to thank her as a life-saving gesture.
It turned out that at the time of borrowing the money, that person's family was in a miserable situation. Her husband caused a serious accident and was at risk of being in prison. The money borrowed from her helped them compensate for the damage and escape the scandal. However, due to public pressure and difficult life, the whole family had to move to another place to start over. After many years of struggling, they finally stabilized and decided to return to find her to pay off their debt.
She realized that if she had been determined to collect the debt at that time, she might have gotten her money back sooner, but she might have accidentally pushed them along. Sometimes the delay in collecting debts is not a loss, but an opportunity to save another life.
People often say "borrowing is losing a friend", but in this case, the debt becomes a strange relationship. It turns out that patience and tolerance can bring greater values than money. A helping hand in a difficult time not only saves one person, but can also change an entire life, a family.
She looked at him, smiling at ease: Now thinking back, I see that I can not only ask for money, but also ask for faith in people. He laughed: So will you ever want to lend money to someone else? She tilted her head, thought for a while, then smiled abruptly: Yes! But this time, I will record the debt clearly.
