Hard to say NO to the family

The minute my eldest sister called, I knew what is about. The other day, mom asked me for money and I said no. I knew there is nowhere else she can turn to, but I still said no. lending mom the money is like giving to her, there is no way that I can get it back. I knew because it happened a lot in the past, and you can say I learned my lesson.

Before you judge, I am a mom`s good girl, whenever she needs anything, I would do whatever I can to help her. That`s the exact reason why I am in a deep debt, 80 thousand Yuan -- I am helping her paying her debt. I managed to pay back the half so far, and I promised the owner that I will pay back the rest at the end of next year.

To able to do that, I need to keep 3 thousand Yuan savings each month. And to lending out the money to mom won`t help me achieve it. So I decided to say no to mom no matter what. And I did, but I knew she will ask my eldest sister to ask me for money, and I knew my sister has the capability to pay me back on time.

As I thought, she asked, and I said ok, and she surprised that I would say yes so quickly. Well, what do you expect? To my family, say no once is hard enough, say no twice is something I can`t do. Plus, I know my sister would pay me back no matter what. I have faith in her and I know things will turn out right eventually. :D
