A wonderful encounter brought 53-year-old Aunt Liu and 60-year-old Lao Li together. The two met for the first time under the introduction of a friend, and after getting along for a while, they felt suitable for each other, so they decided to live together.
Before partnering, Lao Li solemnly promised to provide 3,000 yuan per month for living expenses for common family expenses. However, what is surprising is that within three weeks of partnering, Aunt Liu suddenly proposed that she was no longer willing to continue this life and decided to end this relationship.
Lao Li was puzzled by this, and asked puzzledly: "I give you living expenses every month, why do you want to leave angrily?"Aunt Liu replied lightly: "Find someone else, I can't continue to serve anymore." This parting made the life of the two end hastily.
The surname is Liu, I am 53 years old, and the young people affectionately call me Aunt Liu, while my peers politely call me Lao Liu.
Speaking of my fate, it can be described as a bumpy road. When I was 30 years old, my widow died in a car accident, leaving me and my daughter to rely on each other. Shouldering the responsibility of pulling my daughter** alone, I have experienced countless hardships and pains, and only I know the hardships of it.
During this time, I had two relationships, but unfortunately neither lasted. Once, the same man lived with me for three years, and just as we were about to get married, his ex-wife suddenly said that his son had mental problems and frequently asked him to go back to take care of the children. In the end, our love is lost to the untangled family relationship between them, and he chooses to return to his ex-wife and children.
This breakup was a heavy blow to me, and I deeply felt that the road to remarriage was full of ups and downs, and it was difficult to find true love. As a result, the flame of love that originally burned in my heart was also eclipsed, and I was determined to raise my daughter wholeheartedly.
The original plan was very good, I planned to wait for my daughter to graduate from college, she would stay with me to work, and I would find a suitable son-in-law for her, and when she was old, she would follow her daughter, and the son-in-law would take on the responsibility of providing for the elderly.
However, plans don't always keep up with changes. The daughter found a boyfriend in Shanghai during college, and after graduation, the two decided to stay and work in Shanghai. I tried to mobilize her to return to Zhengzhou, but she did not listen, and in the end I had to acquiesce to her marriage in Shanghai.
The daughter's boyfriend is a native of Shanghai, and the family's house is only more than 80 square meters, but it has to accommodate her in-laws and their family of four, and the living is quite crowded. In such a situation, I can't live with my daughter.
After my daughter got married, I went through the retirement procedures, received a pension of 1,300 yuan a month, and lived a leisurely and idle life.
I wake up every day and face an empty day, not knowing how to spend it. Wandering around the house, sitting at the entrance of the community, going in and out of the neighborhood alone, and not even finding a partner to communicate with.
In order to avoid depression caused by staying at home for too long, I forced myself to participate in square dancing and go for walks in crowded parks until the evening.
In the process of square dancing, I became close friends with Sister Wang, who led the dance. After learning about my situation, Sister Wang enthusiastically introduced me to a partner.
Because of the loneliness and Sister Wang's enthusiasm, I promised to meet and see if it was suitable for the man introduced by Sister Wang.
Lao Li, 60 years old, introduced by my sister, is a demolition household in a nearby urban village. Living alone in a 120 square meter house, with two more for rent, and a good financial situation.
According to Sister Wang, Lao Li's wife died a few years ago, and he lived alone, not living with his son and daughter-in-law, and his son's family still had several properties.
After hearing this, my heart was moved. Lao Li lives alone, has a good economy, and has a monthly rent income, so it seems that with him, I don't have to worry too much about the economy.
Under Sister Wang's arrangement, Lao Li and I met at her house. After the first meeting, both parties had a good first impression, so we agreed to try dating for a while to see if there would be a deeper relationship.
The love of the elderly does not seem to be as romantic and long-lasting as that of the young. We only met a few times and felt very compatible, so Lao Li invited me to move into his house and spend my old age with him.
Lao Li said: "You can rent out your house when you move here, and I will give you another 3,000 yuan a month for living expenses, and you will be responsible for housework, cooking, and washing clothes every day." ”
I think Lao Li's proposal is good. rented out the house, and got an extra 2,000 yuan in rent every month, plus Lao Li's 3,000 yuan in living expenses, a total of 5,000 yuan more.
Compared to me living on a pension of 1,300 yuan a month, this method seems more appropriate. Besides, it's quite lonely to cook alone, and it's even more flavorful to have dinner with two people. So, I agreed to Lao Li's invitation.
After packing my luggage, I moved into Lao Li's house, and at the same time posted the information about my house for rent on the Internet. From then on, Lao Li and I began a new stage of living together.
The first few days of life felt pretty good. When I first moved in, Lao Li generously gave me 3,000 yuan for living expenses, saying that I would go grocery shopping.
The diet for the two of us was fairly simple and didn't cost much per meal. The housework is not so tedious, I can do it in less than half a day. After the work was done, Lao Li and I often went for a walk in the park together, and when we had each other's company, we felt that life was very beautiful.
On the third day, Lao Li's son, daughter-in-law and grandson came to visit and brought a carton of milk and a carton of eggs. As soon as I entered the door, she warmly addressed me as an aunt and asked me if I was Xi to my life here and if I needed anything. Their care warms my heart.
I was very happy to see the children sensible. So, I went to buy fish, shrimp, and pork ribs, and prepared a hearty meal for them to enjoy at home.
During the meal, my daughter-in-law and grandson gave me a thumbs up and praised the delicious food I cooked, and said that they would come to visit us often. It makes me feel relieved and filled with the warmth of home.
When parting, Lao Li said to his son: "Your aunt's cooking is really delicious. Come over whenever you want to eat and ask your aunt to make it for you, she's fine at home anyway. ”
Lao Li's words ignited the interest of his son and daughter-in-law. At noon the next day, my son came back with his daughter-in-law and grandson, and I had to buy a lot of ingredients again.
Lao Li was very happy to see his son, daughter-in-law and grandson visit again. He plays games with his grandson in the living room, while his son and daughter-in-law are on the TV in the living room. I was busy preparing dishes for them.
From then on, every third day, every fourth day...Lao Li's son's family always visited frequently, and every time they came without warning, they never brought any gifts. After eating, the family patted their butts and left.
Lao Li and I dine for two people, and usually two dishes are enough. However, whenever the family visited, I had to prepare six dishes.
My grandson is very fond of fish and buys a sea bass every time. And my daughter-in-law likes red stewed mutton, 45 yuan per catty of mutton, I have to buy more than one catty every time. As soon as they came, they spent more than 100 yuan on groceries per meal.
After eating, I had to clean up the table and wash the dishes, which took more than two hours, and every time I cooked, my back hurt, and even if I lay in bed for half a day, it was difficult to relieve my fatigue.
Lao Li is always happy to see his son's family coming. I felt a little embarrassed and embarrassed to say anything, so I could only endure it in silence.
This kind of life lasted for more than two weeks, and once we settled the accounts, we had spent more than 3,000 yuan on food in the past two weeks. The 3,000 yuan given by Lao Li has long been spent, and my salary is only enough to barely maintain a few hundred yuan.
If it continues like this, even if Lao Li gives me another 3,000 yuan, it will be difficult to cope with the expenses.
Entering the third week, I said to Lao Li: "Don't let your son and daughter-in-law come too hard in the future, come to eat every day, it's not good for my health, and the cost is too much, 6,000 yuan a month is not enough." ”
Lao Li didn't seem very happy when he heard this, he said: "You are too picky, the children come to eat because of your respect, which mother-in-law is not willing to serve the children?."I don't believe that you will spend 3,000 yuan so quickly, and you can live as a family, don't play with your heart!”
After Lao Li said this, I felt very angry. I serve their family every day, putting all my salary into it, but I don't get a good word, but suspect that I am ** his money. It's literally treating me like a free babysitter!
I threw down my apron angrily and said angrily, "I'm living with you, not as a free babysitter for your family." Since you don't trust me, then I'm good to go!I threw the door and left Lao Li's house.
When I left, I heard Lao Li muttering behind mear: "It's impossible to spend 3,000 yuan in half a month." ”
After I left, Lao Li came to visit my house several times, saying that he was bored alone. He offered to give me an extra 1,000 yuan a month if I went back.
I did not hesitate to reject this proposal. I'd rather spend my monthly pension of 1,300 yuan by myself than go to his house to be a free nanny and be angry. He wants to find someone to help, so let him go and find it.
Living together should be based on heart-to-heart and mutual understanding. If you find a wife, but just to use the other party as a nanny and a tool to call, then who would be so stupid?
