I have been an ordinary worker all my life, my family was poor since I was a child, and it was not easy to find a stable job, although the salary was not high, but I saved my savings and was not willing to spend a penny on myself, just so that I could live a stable life after retirement one day.
After getting married and having children, in order to support the family and save for our son's education, our family lived very economically. My husband and I never buy new clothes, and we eat very cheaply. Long Long always hated old clothes when he was a child, but for him to go to college in the future, we can only live like this.
Long Long finally finished college and found a good job, and my husband and I were relieved and began to think about life after retirement. At that time, Long Long was already engaged, and I liked my daughter-in-law Xiaohong very much, and I felt that she was very good to Long Long. The wedding was a lively one, and my husband and I happily gave them the pension we had saved for 30 years as a bride price.
After getting married, Long Long lived a very nourishing life, changed to a new house and a new car, and lived a middle-class life. My husband and I are still living in the old building, but we are so happy that we have finally fulfilled an unattainable dream for our son.
The good times didn't last long, but when Long Long was married for 3 years, an accident broke our happy life. One day, my daughter-in-law Xiaohong suddenly called ** to me, crying and screaming that Longlong had another woman outside, and that woman was pregnant with Longlong's seed. Xiaohong said that she couldn't stand Long Long's change of heart and decided to divorce.
I was stunned, how could Long Long do such a bastard thing?I cried and begged Xiaohong to think about it again, the relationship between the two people for more than ten years can't be broken like this. Xiaohong was also in pain, but she didn't compromise after all.
I approached Long Long and questioned him, but I didn't expect him to say that he was indeed in love with another woman and had already lived together. He also said that Xiaohong's personality was not suitable, and she forced him to go both ways.
I'm almost blown up by the dragon. I slapped him in the face and slammed into his feet to leave. Long Long hurriedly grabbed me and apologized, but I couldn't listen to any of his arguments. I just want to see Little Red at once and comfort the poor girl.
When I saw Xiaohong sitting in a chair sobbing, my heart broke. Her eyes were red and swollen, her face was pale, and she looked completely loveless. I gently hugged her and made her cry. Xiaohong choked up and told about Long Long's negative behavior, and I was already disappointed in my son.
A month after the divorce, Long Long suddenly contacted me and said that he owed a loan shark and needed my help to pay it off. I was surprised and asked the amount, and he said it was my entire pension!It turned out that while divorcing Xiaohong, he also owed a huge amount of gambling debts, and now the creditor forces him to pay back the money every day, and even threatens to break his leg.
I trembled and started to call ** to Xiaohong to verify this matter. Xiaohong cried and said that it was true, and sent me the voice of the creditor threatening Long Long. It seems that Long Long is really annoyed, and my pension is his last straw.
I asked Long Long how he owed so many gambling debts, but he refused to say. I asked him what to do with the alimony for his ex-wife and children, and he said that he could not afford to pay it now, so he had to pay off the debt first.
With red eyes, I handed over all my life savings to Long Long. This unfilial and irresponsible bastard!I wanted to punch him to death, but for the sake of him being the son I raised, I finally reluctantly cut my love and saved his dog's life.
After Long Long got the money, he immediately disappeared without a trace. And I, on the other hand, went from a well-off retired old man overnight to a destitute marginalized person.
I called Xiaohong **, I want to see how my grandchildren are doing. Unexpectedly, Xiaohong was very cold, saying that since Long Long did not pay alimony, she and the children were living in embarrassment, and she had regarded Long Long as an enemy and didn't want to have any contact with me. I begged bitterly, but Xiaohong hung up**.
Now I really have nothing. My savings have gone up in smoke, my son has become a complete scum, and my daughter-in-law and grandson have cut ties with me. I was so sad that I felt that there was no point in living.
I had a miserable time. The winter in Wuhan was bitterly cold, and I was huddled in a dilapidated rental house, shivering under a blanket. I had no money to eat the cheapest bread to satisfy my hunger, and my health deteriorated, but I didn't have the strength to survive.
Just when I had nothing to love, a lifesaver appeared. A middle-aged woman named Tian Tian suddenly came to visit me, claiming to be a classmate of Long Long. She was very distressed when she heard about what had happened to me, and at first she came to visit me often, handed me cash or food, and helped me pay my rent and utility bills. At first, I refused to accept her things, thinking it was too embarrassing, but she insisted again and again, and I could only accept it.
Gradually, Tian Tian became my only bosom friend. We talked every day, and she shared her own story of her husband dying young and raising two children on her own. I think we have a similar fate, we both did it all our lives, but we were betrayed in our old age. With Tian Tian, I no longer feel lonely, and she gave me the courage to live again.
