A childhood neighbor asked me to borrow “one million baht” to treat his wife, but suddenly he brought a bag of dried fish in return. Revealing the hidden things inside. I can only say thank you through tears.
The article below is the message. “Miss Lee” A man from China's Zhejiang Province shared on Toutiao that he has received a lot of attention online.
Mr. Lee said that. Mr. Tuan (Pseudonym) is a neighbor across the street and they were classmates from kindergarten through high school until he moved to study and started living in the city. The other party worked as a laborer on an industrial farm, although they gradually lost contact with each other. But every time I go back to my hometown, I still visit this friend regularly.
Until 2019, when he visited again. So I learned that Mr. Tuan's wife was diagnosed with a serious illness. The treatment requires a lot of money. As the main breadwinner in the house, he works 2-3 jobs at a time in order to have money to take care of his children and pay his wife's medical bills. He told his friend that during this difficult time, do not hesitate to contact him if you need help.
After the meeting at that time and even though he is back in the city, he still thinks of asking about his friend's condition from time to time. Even the other party said that his wife's health has improved. Which makes him feel relieved and less anxious. But don't forget to remind him to contact him if he needs help.
Until the beginning of 2020, one night suddenly I received a phone call from Mr. Tuan saying in an urgent tone, “My wife is in an emergency. I need at least 150,000 yuan now, can you help me?”
At that time, 150,000 yuan (about 750,000 baht) was considered a large sum of money. His bank account only had 50,000 yuan (about 250,000 baht), but when he saw that his friend was in a difficult situation, he couldn't ignore it. So I decided to close the 200,000 yuan (about 1,000,000 baht) savings book I had saved to buy a house. And transfer that money to the account of a friend in distress.
The next morning he decided to take the bus back to his hometown to visit his friend's family. Although I knew the prognosis was not good, he still tried to encourage and support his friends in trying to treat his wife as advised by the doctor. The family battled the disease for 8 months, until his wife passed away in September 2020.
When he received the news of his tragic loss, he immediately rushed to his hometown to cheer up his friends. After organizing various mourning ceremonies, Mr. Tuan made an appointment to meet him to thank him. She also handed over a bag of dried fish and said, “I still remember that you loved eating this kind of fish. So I asked someone to buy it for me. Please accept this gift from me.”
Finally, he picked up the bag of fish and headed back to town. When he got home and opened the bag, he was surprised. It turned out that inside, in addition to his favorite type of dry food, there was also a zippered bag holdingA check for 500,000 yuan (about 2,500,000 baht) Keep it inside too. The information provided by the recipient is his name. And I enclosed a handwritten thank you note.
Although the message had clearly written details but once he received this gift he couldn't stop himself from calling his friend again. To ask if there were any mistakes while the other party explained that “I know you used the money to prepare to buy a house. You came to help me and my wife through the hard times. Now it’s time for me to pay back the 500,000 yuan, including the 200,000 yuan that I owed. The rest was because I just got compensation from the land sale. So I want to give you more money to buy a new house.
Hearing the words of a childhood friend, he burst into tears because he couldn't hold back his emotions. When he decided to help this person, he didn't expect to get a thank-you gift or anything. But what he got was more than he could have imagined. It's probably true that many people say that as long as we are kind to everyone, one day we will also receive mercy from this world.
