In a modest room in a nursing home, Wang Ying hugged her parents tightly and burst into tears. After not returning to her hometown for five years, she was shocked to find that her parents had been sent to this nursing home in difficult conditions. The four elderly people in the room were huddled together, with no privacy to speak of, and the meals in the cafeteria, although not vegan, were pitifully scarce.
Wang Ying hugged her elderly parents, and a wave of remorse and dissatisfaction welled up in her heart, and she felt guilty for her estrangement in the past few years. In this humble environment, she felt sorry for her parents and resented by the conditions of the nursing home.
I was so incompetent to let my parents live here!"Wang Ying said remorsefully, and at the same time complained about her brother and sister-in-law, thinking that their unfilial piety led to this situation. Her cries filled the room, and her parents wept along.
The other elderly people in the nursing home were touched by this outburst of feelings, and they all remembered their situation and joined the tide of crying. Immersed in the crying, the whole nursing home seems to be immersed in a sea of sadness. In order to prevent the situation from expanding, the nursing home had to dial ** and contact the parents' son and daughter-in-law.
The dean patiently advised Wang Ying and begged her to stop crying, as this would affect the mood of the other elderly people. The old people were living happily before, but her crying made the whole atmosphere solemn. The dean was worried about how the old people would continue to live happily if this continued.
However, Wang Ying seemed to ignore the dean's advice completely, she insisted on continuing to cry, and even pulled her neck and shouted to the dean: "My parents still have a son, and my brother, why do you want to send them to a nursing home?"Why did you take them in?Her voice resounded throughout the nursing home, causing chaos.
The dean also felt helpless, and hurriedly said: "I am a nursing home, we will take in the elderly if someone sends them, as for why your brother and sister-in-law sent their parents, it is none of my business." You don't have to be here**. Wang Ying turned a deaf ear to the advice, and still cried loudly, complaining about her incompetence and accusing her brother and sister-in-law of being unfilial. In order to alleviate the situation, the director had to find Wang Ying's brother and sister-in-law and take them to a nursing home.
In the face of Wang Ying's sad crying, my brother couldn't help but shed tears. However, he couldn't change the facts that had happened, and could only comfort Wang Ying, hoping that she would understand. Wang Ying still did not give up and asked her brother to take her parents home immediately.
The sister-in-law couldn't help but angrily reproached Wang Ying: "Don't cry anymore, don't be embarrassed here." If you have the ability, take the old couple back, and if you don't have the ability, don't add to the blockage here. It's not that you can't see it, the old couple is not even flexible anymore, and they have to use wheelchairs. How do we rural families take care of them?
Don't we need to farm, don't we need to work?I still have grandchildren to bring, and your brother still has to farm and work, otherwise where will the money come from to pay for the pension of the old couple?You marry so far and only come back once in five years, how much financial support do you give your parents?How many days can you take care of it at home?
We simply can't do these things, and I can't cope with my limited abilities. I am an ordinary person, and I only have two hands and two legs, and I can't take care of two elderly people and a child at the same time. If you don't come back for so long, if you have money, take some money out and make the old man's life better.
If you don't have money, at least give them some comfort so that they can have peace of mind. Why are you crying like this?How can they live here with peace of mind in the future?How can other old people have peace of mind?After listening to her sister-in-law's reprimand, Wang Ying finally realized that her parents were no longer the same as they were five years ago when they could take care of themselves.
In the past, they may have been able to move freely, but now they are confined to wheelchairs. Deeply remorseful for her indifferent behavior, she decided to apologize to her sister-in-law. However, the sister-in-law interrupted her remorse: "It is useless for you to apologize to me, and you don't owe me anything." A good thing was completely mixed up by you.
How can adult life be easy, if it is easy, how can you not go home for five years?Therefore, filial piety is not just words, the key lies in practical actions. But sometimes, even if you want to fulfill your filial piety, you can't do it. ”
At this moment, Wang Ying's parents also calmed down and comforted her instead, telling her not to worry too much. They said that they lived well in the nursing home, and the meals were specially designed for the elderly, which was nutritious and non-greasy, so that Wang Ying did not have to worry about them. From the perspective of a bystander, I also support my sister-in-law's actions and rhetoric.
Considering that the nursing home's childcare fee is close to 4,000 yuan per month, this is much better than letting the elderly live alone at home. And Wang Ying's filial piety to her parents over the years seems to be unsatisfactory, but she blames her brother and sister-in-law's choice, which is the real unfilial piety.
In this case, I think my sister-in-law's approach is more in line with the actual situation, because she also clearly points out the real plight of rural families. While farming and working, it is indeed difficult to take care of two elderly people and a child with limited mobility. All this makes Wang Ying's complaint seem a little unrealistic. Overall, this is a complex issue that requires understanding the actual situation of the family and taking practical measures.
