Parents work hard to raise their children, but sometimes, the children's powerlessness also makes them feel helpless. There was once a child who, while his parents were lying on a hospital bed, said something heartbreaking to them: "It's not that I'm not filial, it's that I can't be filial." If you don't die, I won't live?This sentence hits people's hearts and reveals the cruelty and helplessness of life.
The child is September, the family has been very poor since he was a child, and he has eight older sisters. September's mother died in childbirth at the time of his birthFatherOne person struggles to support the family. In order to provide a better one for SeptemberlifeFatherGave him the best things in the house. The sisters were uneducated and couldn't even write their own names.

However, in SeptemberFatherLao Liu endured more hardships. Despite having a son, it is not easy to feed a large family. Although the house was tidy and tidy, there was a lack of money and food, and the house was getting more and more dilapidated. He finally finished junior high school in September, but because of his weak body and cowardly character, he was unable to do heavy physical labor. Seeing that the sisters got married one by one, they didn't have enough money to marry their daughters-in-law in September. Fatherdecided to borrow money from his sisters, hoping to make up enough money to marry his daughter-in-law, because only by marrying his daughter-in-law can he continue the incense of the Lao Liu family.

Lao Liu's family doesn't have enough money to repair the house, and Lao Liu, who has been poor all his life, will have so much money?At first, the sisters promised to help their younger brother a little, but as their relationship with their son-in-law weakened, the help became less and less. Lao Liu began to blame his sisters, and the son-in-law's family was even more indifferent to Lao Liu's family, and the family affection gradually disappeared. Lao Liu and Jiujiu can only live in their ancestral dilapidated houses, relying on hard work to grow vegetables in the fields and raise chickens and pigs to make a living.

September is exhausted, but she can't get help from her sisters. They believe that September is the most pampered in the family and bears the careFatherResponsibility to old age.
Due to the worsening of his condition, September had to borrow money from everywhere for treatment. But in any case, if he couldn't borrow money, he could only cry helplessly and complain about his birthFather"Dad, you shouldn't have given birth to me in the first place. ”
