Uncle Lu, who is 65 years old this year, lives a retirement life with plenty of food and clothing. As a retired accountant, he is diligent and thrifty, budget-conscious, and with his professional advantages, he has accumulated a considerable family foundation for himself early. Now that he is at home, he not only has a pension of about 5,000 yuan per month, but also has two sets of valuable real estate in his name, as well as hundreds of thousands of yuan in current deposits. 
This is a very wealthy family in the local area. At the same time, Uncle Lu also has a pair of mature children. The daughter now has a successful career and a happy married life. My son also works in a local state-owned enterprise, with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, and can afford to pay for the mortgage. Uncle Lu was very satisfied with them and never caused any trouble to the family. On the contrary, the marriage of the two children was solved by Uncle Lu. Therefore, his relationship with his children has always been very harmonious. 
Such a family and economic environment provides Uncle Lu with a very stable and comfortable pension foundation. In his heart, he had already planned the arrangements for the rest of his life - just like this, he and his wife lived a shameless and impatient old age, occasionally went out for a trip, and spent the last few years of his life peacefully. But he never thought that a decision made out of love and kindness to his in-laws 4 years ago completely broke his original plan and made him tortured. The smell of old goods and mildew was in the air. But they didn't even pay a penny for repairs. Uncle Lu could only take money from his own savings to cope, which made him feel humiliated. The turning point of the story took place 4 years ago in the summer. At that time, Uncle Lu's daughter-in-law was about to give birth to a second child, and she planned to go back to her parents' house to give birth, but her mother's house was too far away from here, and the journey was long and time-consuming. In desperation, she could only invite her parents-in-law to her son's house to live temporarily so that she could take care of her. 
At first, Uncle Lu was still very interested, and he was naturally happy that his nephew and niece were about to add a new member. In addition, he can help his daughter-in-law tide over the difficulties, and as an elder, he is very happy. Immediately, he and his wife vacated the apartment that they had originally rented to others, and after simply cleaning up, they happily lent it to their parents. Who knows that the good times will not last long, and one stay will be 4 years. In the first few months, due to the need to take care of the young newborn, the presence of the parents did play a great role in helping Uncle Lu's family. But after a long time, they had the intention of "occupying" the apartment. A lot of dirty and old items were moved, the bedroom was converted into a storage room, and even the closet base cabinet was converted privately. The smell of old goods and mildew was in the air. 
At first, Uncle Lu didn't take this matter to heart, just thought that they came to stay for a while. It wasn't until 3 years later that Uncle Lu's apartment was completely used as their "retirement home" to live in, which made Uncle Lu realize the seriousness of the matter. As soon as he heard that his son proposed to sponsor his parents' parents to return to their hometowns to live alone, Uncle Lu was simply relieved. However, what makes people laugh and cry is that this incident also made the daughter-in-law and son quarrel. In the end, he could only swallow his anger and let his parents live for a long time. In desperation, Uncle Lu had no choice but to give up. The smell of old goods and mildew was in the air. After the parents lived for a long time, they became even more unscrupulous. They regarded Uncle Lu's apartment as their own property, piling up all kinds of items, which was like a garbage dump. 
At first, they were all daily necessities, but later they even brought in old furniture, electrical appliances, etc. The apartment was full of rags that they had piled up over the years, and even the ground was out of sight. This made Uncle Lu, who had been Xi for decades, really big, and he repeatedly warned his parents to use the house with love. But not only did they not listen to the persuasion, but they also stuffed things into it even harder. Uncle Lu was angry and reasoned with them directly through his daughter-in-law. It's just that the mother-in-law is desperate, saying that the house was given to them by her son-in-law for the elderly. The smell of old goods and mildew was in the air. At the same time, the parents' wear and tear on the apartment is also becoming more and more serious. Leaking water pipes, power outages, and even cracked walls seeping water. The smell of old goods and mildew was in the air. But they didn't even pay a penny for repairs. Uncle Lu could only take money from his own savings to cope, which made him feel humiliated. What angered him the most was that the in-laws and his wife were unapologetic about this, and in turn accused Uncle Lu of being too stingy. They were counting on their son to come forward to solve the problem, but who knew that the son and daughter-in-law also chose to stand by and watch. Uncle Lu was directly isolated, which filled his heart with helplessness and resentment. Just for the sake of family harmony, he still swallowed his anger and let his parents live for 4 years. It wasn't until last year, when his daughter came home from the divorce that Uncle Lu finally mustered up the courage to take back his house. The smell of old goods and mildew was in the air. But they didn't even pay a penny for repairs. Uncle Lu could only take money from his own savings to cope, which made him feel humiliated. Just last year, Uncle Lu's daughter unfortunately divorced and returned to her hometown to live alone with her young children. The parents only had a small old house and could not survive at all, so Uncle Lu and his wife couldn't bear it and decided to take back their apartment for their daughter and son to move in. 
This time, Uncle Lu plucked up all his courage and told his in-laws in person that he had to move out of the house within a month. He repeatedly stressed that he was also in a difficult situation, but his daughter had no choice. For the sake of the family, I can only ask my parents to be accommodating. Unexpectedly, the parents not only refused, but also became furious. They emphasized that the house had been donated for old-age support, and Uncle Lu was not qualified to take it back. What's even more unbelievable is that the mother-in-law said that if she had to move out, she had to give her son-in-law a large sum of money as money to buy a house. 
Uncle Lu was enraged by this unreasonable and unreasonable request. He loudly questioned how his in-laws had the courage to make such a request, he had borrowed it purely with good intentions, but they had lived for many years and destroyed the property. However, what made him even more desperate was that his in-laws immediately found their daughter-in-law and cried that Uncle Lu was unreasonable. The daughter-in-law not only sided with her parents, but also beat up Uncle Lu's daughter, accusing her of not being qualified to ask her in-laws to move out. For a while, several parties fell into a fierce quarrel, and Uncle Lu only had helplessness and despair left in his mind. The smell of old goods and mildew was in the air. But they didn't even pay a penny for repairs. Uncle Lu could only take money from his own savings to cope, which made him feel humiliated. After this toss, Uncle Lu finally recognized the reality - his kindness at the beginning could only lead to a disaster. Now that the house cannot be repossessed, family relations are becoming more and more strained, and everyone is blaming each other. 
This made him regret his decision to help his in-laws. As an experienced elder, Uncle Lu should have understood that "there is no free lunch in the world". If you lend the property for a long time without compensation, the other party should take possession of it. In the end, if you want to take it back, you can't do it, so you can only suffer the consequences. At the same time, it also made him realize that he should not be soft on everything, otherwise he will inevitably suffer a big loss. Now it's too late. The house could not be recovered, and the grievances with his daughter-in-law and in-laws were getting deeper and deeper, almost to the point of incompatibility. Uncle Lu regretted it and blamed himself for his weakness and incompetence. 
He can no longer return to the days when he was in harmony with his relatives, and can only spend his old age in disappointment and loneliness. In life, Uncle Lu finally understood a cruel truth. Helping others is commendable, but too much kindness can only ruin one's own happiness and that of others.
