I Lent a Million Out of Kindness. Hard Times Revealed My Relatives' True Colors

Su Chen had achieved some success with his startup and cherished his family, so he lent over a million yuan in savings to help various relatives. Whether it was a cousin starting a business, another cousin opening a shop, or an elder paying for medical treatment and renovations, he generously gave money whenever they asked. Trusting them, he didn't even ask them to write IOUs.

But the world is cold. His relatives used his money to get through hard times and went on to thrive, yet none of them ever brought up paying him back. Then an accident struck: Su Chen's business collapsed, leaving him deep in debt. With nowhere else to turn, he asked his relatives for help, hoping to recover the money and weather the crisis.

Every relative who had once benefited from his generosity changed their tune. They played dumb, denied owing him anything, and even blamed him. At a family gathering, they ganged up to mock him and kick him while he was down, trampling on his dignity without restraint.

His wholehearted kindness was repaid with treachery, and all that remained of their family bonds was cold calculation. Su Chen's heart finally went cold. He gathered complete records of the transfers and chat logs, then filed a lawsuit against every relative who refused to repay him.

When the court summons arrived, they panicked and came to his door, abandoning their pride to beg for mercy. But their shattered bonds could never be restored, and the law showed no favoritism toward family.

This loan dispute exposed the greed and hypocrisy lurking beneath their blood ties. Kindness needs limits, and softness of heart must not be boundless. Without limits, generosity only raises a pack of ungrateful wolves.
