People often feel that Aunt Luo's life is really happy and enviable. Not so long ago, she experienced the pain of losing her dear wife, but fate does not seem to be stingy.
* Generously gave her $2 million in cash and a two-bedroom, two-bedroom pension house as compensation for her expropriation of property in the suburbs. Aunt Luo, a hard-working and simple farmer, has no social security and lives with his wife. Now that her wife has passed away, her life should have entered the stage where many people enjoy their old age in peace.
People around her suggested that she put 1 million yuan in the bank, rely on an interest pension, and the remaining 1 million yuan could be divided equally between her son and daughter.
In this way, each child can get 500,000, which is a huge wealth for the average family, which can reduce their financial burden and allow them to live an easier life. However, Aunt Luo did not agree with these suggestions.
Aunt Luo knew the significance of this wealth. She summoned her son and daughter, who were far away, home and said she wanted to announce a big decision.
After learning that his mother's old house had been expropriated, the son and daughter were compensated with 2 million yuan. They thought that their mother would give them the property at this time, so they all took leave and went home full of anticipation. However, their expectations eventually turned into disappointment. The big decision announced by the mother was not to give them 2 million, not even 500,000 each.
Aunt Luo told them affectionately: "Qiangzi and Xiujuan, ** expropriated our old house and land, and gave 2 million yuan of demolition funds. I'm calling you back, and I want to tell you that I'm not going to give you the money.
Hadron was dissatisfied: "Isn't it good for you to deposit half of it in the bank?".My sister and I had a stressful life. Can you give us some support to make our lives easier?”
Xiujuan also agrees with her brother. She said to her mother: "You are so old, how good is it to leave some money for retirement, you have spent all the money, what will you do when you are old in the future?".”
However, Aunt Luo turned a deaf ear to the children's advice. She insisted that life is only a few decades, and the first few years have been very hard. Now she finally has a sum of money. She should enjoy the rest of the time.
In the end, the son and daughter reluctantly left their mother's home.
Qiangzi sighed and said to his sister: "Other people's parents, thrifty to help their children and reduce the burden on their children, our mothers don't know why they are so selfish, they only have money to enjoy, regardless of their children. ”
Xiujuan also sighed. After changing houses, she did not pay off her mortgage. She also has a son who is in high school. Her husband's unit is not profitable, and her income is mediocre. Sometimes she really wants to split a penny into two.
As for his younger brother, his wife is unemployed, and he has two sons, both of whom are in middle school, and they must be having more difficulties than themselves.
But mom doesn't love them, what's the solution!After the children left, Aunt Luo was very relaxed, and she finally explained to the children that it could be put into action.
She said just do it, and immediately went to the travel agency to book a 10-day tour of Beijing. She plans to finish playing Beijing before going to Shanghai, and then plans to go to Yunnan, Hainan, Xinjiang, Hangzhou, Inner Mongolia and other places.
During her ten-day trip to Beijing, Aunt Luo met some like-minded old friends. As soon as everyone had fun, a tour group was established. The name of the tour group is Tiannandibei.
With this tourist group, Aunt Luo is like a fish back in the sea and has a lot of fun.
5 days, she played outside for at least 300 days. With tour groups, many times they don't follow the group. They did their own thing. In a beautiful place, they rented people to live and play slowly. Anyway, they have money in their pockets and don't have to go to work. They are free. They can ask the hotel chef to deliver them to their door whatever they want to eat, and they can play as long as they want.
At the age of 70, Aunt Luo had diabetes and took a three-month break at home to have fun with her old friends.
Drinking wine in large bowls and eating meat in large chunks are the characteristics and straightforwardness of traveling companions together. Everyone is in their 60s or 70s. Who does not have an underlying disease, but no one contraindicates, it is a pleasure to play.
When she was 73 years old, to be honest, Aunt Luo was actually a little powerless, but thinking about her 80-year-old sister in the group or being lively and unrestrained, Aunt Yu didn't believe it and continued to follow everyone around.
Aunt Luo's son and daughter were chilled because they received money, so they contacted her less and slowly became strangers. Aunt Luo never dreamed that she would be paralyzed by a cerebral infarction at the age of 75.
I played like this for seven or eight years, and the money flowed out every day. Aunt Luo was surprised to find that she didn't have much money in her hand, only tens of thousands of yuan. She was so shocked that she didn't dare to travel anymore. She stays at home every day to buy vegetables and cook for herself.
One day, when she was about to go out to buy vegetables, she felt dizzy. She walked to the door with a basket. When her feet went limp, she fell. She tried to stand up and found that her left hand and left foot were weak and she couldn't use force.
She was lying on the ground, her phone had fallen far away, and she couldn't use her strength in her left hand or foot. She tried her best and finally got her hands on the phone.
She called ** to her son, ** rang for a long time, and the son was probably busy and did not answer. She hit her daughter again, but her daughter's ** stopped. She had no choice but to continue to call ** to her son, and this time, her son quickly received **.
The son said, "Mom, is there anything wrong with you hitting **?".If you have something to say, I'll hang up if I'm fine. I had to work to earn money to support my family. She cried "wow" and said, "Son, I fell to the ground and couldn't get up." You're going to take me to the hospital.
The son said impatiently, "Can't you call 120?".Don't you remember what you said?You say you've eaten all the food and your health has run out. When you're old, we don't have to care. Aunt Luo was speechless when she was scolded by her son, so she could only cry and hang up**.
More than an hour later, her son knocked on the outside door and shouted her name, but she remembered that her son and daughter did not have the keys to the house.
In the end, the son had to call ** to unlock the master and open the door. Seeing the mother lying on the ground and trying to help her, but her body lost strength, it took her several times to help her to the couch.
Aunt Luo sat on the couch and tried to pick up something with her left hand, but her left hand didn't listen at all. Then she realized she had had a stroke.
Her son urgently called 120 to take her to the hospital. In the hospital, her son accompanied her to a series of examinations and checked her into the hospital.
During the hospitalization, her son hired a ** to take care of her, and the daily cost was 240 yuan. Aunt Luo was taken aback. She advised her son not to hire **. She felt it was too expensive. She suggested that her son and daughter take turns taking care of her.
The son replied coldly: "You have money to go out every day." If you're sick, you can't rely on us. Please** does cost a lot of money, but you've never thought about it for us before. I have to work to support my family, and my kids have to go to college. My sister is busy with her grandchildren. When you have money, you don't want us. If you're sick now, you shouldn't count on us. ”
After that, the son left in a hurry, leaving Aunt Luo to live alone in the hospital, and completely relied on a strange ** to take care of her the next day. A demand note was sent to remind Aunt Luo that she owed money. If she doesn't pay, she will face discontinuation.
Aunt Luo angrily called her son and asked him how much he paid for her and why she only owed one dayThe son replied: "I only paid 2,000 yuan, and it's strange that you don't owe money after doing so many tests." ”
Aunt Luo smiled and said, "You are really generous, you only pay the minimum threshold fee for your mother's hospitalization, you are really open-minded." ”
The son was unhappy when he heard this, and retorted: "You received 2 million and gave it to me?"You're so ruthless, and you're still blaming me. You first ask yourself if you have a conscience?”
The other patients in the ward heard the conversation because the call was hands-free. The curious patient asked Aunt Luo about the 2 million.
Aunt Luo told me without concealment that she levied 2 million yuan, but in seven or eight years, she spent this money to travel alone and did not give it to her two children. There was silence in the room for a while.
The other patients showed incredulous expressions, and their eyes became complicated as they looked at Aunt Luo. "You may not want to hear it, but you're being too selfish. The patient on the next bed said excitedly.
The people in the ward all chimed in, thinking that Aunt Luo's behavior was really inappropriate. In today's society, children are not wealthy, and everyone is anxious and in the mood to enjoy traveling.
However, Aunt Luo is unwilling to admit her mistakes and insists that people must live for themselves once in their lives. ** Curious to ask, "I really want to know, how much of your 2 million collection is left after all these years?".
I heard that Aunt Luo spent 2 million, and there was less than 20,000 left, and everyone felt unbelievable. For a 75-year-old, her behavior was truly unexpected!
* bluntly said: "You don't even have social security, and you say that saving money is useless, and the 20,000 yuan is not even enough for hospitalization." ”
Aunt Luo retorted dissatisfied**: I have rural cooperative medical insurance, and the hospitalization cost is not much. Even if the 20,000 yuan is really used up, I still have a son and daughter, I raised them, shouldn't they care about me?”
The daughter in the next bed sighed: "It's really hard work to be your child. Such a large sum of money has been spent. The children are still running for a living, and they have to count on them to provide for their old age. It's really a sin. ”
After the daughter finished speaking, she smiled and said to her mother, "Mom, I'm glad you don't have such thoughts. Otherwise, I would have been crying and laughing. ”
The ward has returned to its own state, and although everyone disagrees with Aunt Luo's behavior, they are reluctant to comment too much, after all, this is someone else's business.
During the hospitalization, Aunt Luo's daughter came to see her in a hurry, handed her 1,000 yuan, and cooked some nutritious soup.
The daughter told Aunt Luo that she wanted to take care of her grandson. My son is still delivering food after losing his job, and the family has to pay off the mortgage. Although her daughter has a retirement salary of more than 3,000 yuan per month, in order to make a living, she also found a part-time job at an Internet café at night.
When Aunt Luo was discharged from the hospital, her son came to pick her up in person. After the expenses of the hospital and ** were settled, all the 20,000 yuan in Aunt Luo's hands was spent.
The son sent Aunt Luo back to the hut where she lived alone, helped her sleep and left. Aunt Luo worriedly asked her son what she should do if they left her if she couldn't take care of herself
The son seemed impatient: "Mom, at the beginning I received so much money, I suggested that you save some money for a pension, but you don't agree." It is useless to say that people save money when they are old, that life is short, that money is good to eat, drink well, and play well. Say you're old, we don't care, have you forgotten?”
These words left Aunt Luo speechless. She did have a collection in the past, and she thought it was bold to have money, but now that she was penniless and her children were indifferent to her, she fell into despair.
Although the 75-year-old suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, she longed to move on with her life and did not want to die. Her son and daughter were her last dependence, and she didn't want to let go easily.
With tears streaming down her face, Aunt Luo cried and said, "I worked hard to raise you, although I had no credit and worked hard. Now that I'm like this, can you bear not to care about me?Watch me die, right?”
Aunt Luo knew that her son Qiangzi was soft-hearted, and as soon as she cried, her son stopped. The son sat on the sofa and began to call his sister Xiujuan.
Aunt Luo heard her daughter Xiujuan say, "I don't want to bring my mother to your house, sell her house, and sell the money to you."
The son said embarrassedly, "Sister, what should I do if I bring my mother home?"My wife also works outside the home. I also have two sons to take wives. ”
Then sell the house and send her to a nursing home, anyway, she has enjoyed it for more than eight years from the age of 66 to now, and it is worth it. ”
When Aunt Luo heard that her daughter was going to send her to a nursing home, she suddenly cried hoarsely and said that she would never agree, but Qiangzi angrily closed her door.
Later, Qiangzi and his wife discussed that because they had two sons, they only paid the down payment of the eldest son and bought a house, and the younger son's house had not yet landed, so he handed over the house of three bedrooms and two living rooms where he lived to the younger son, and the couple moved to Aunt Luo's two bedrooms. Qiangzi still went out to work, and his daughter-in-law got a cleaning job at the door to take care of the elderly.
Aunt Luo was lying on the bed, recalling the happy time of taking 2 million to travel. Until now, she still thinks she's not wrong.
In an ordinary family, Aunt Luo, a kind and amiable mother, was blamed by her son, daughter-in-law, daughter, and son-in-law. The reason is that she spent 2 million and originally planned to leave the money to them as a reserve for their future retirement. In the face of their reproach, Aunt Luo's heart was full of doubts. She wondered if their lives would have been more difficult if they hadn't had had land acquisition in the first placeAnd when she is not in good health and needs their care, will they still care about her so much?
Aunt Luo has her own understanding of the family's efforts and responsibilities. In her view, whether parents' choices are selfless or not directly affects the quality of life of their children. In her opinion, she thinks she has done nothing wrong, but her family is in conflict.
This story makes us think about the question: how to define the responsibilities of parents and children in the family?Are parents obligated to leave all their savings for their children as pension reserves?How should children view and treat their parents' choices?
