"You always help the youngest child, why should we take care of him? ”
Granny Zhang is 82 years old this year. Previously, she lived at home alone, so she was in good health and could take care of herself. The youngest child comes back at least once a year, while the oldest child rarely returns. Mrs. Zhang has a monthly pension, and her two children will give her a sum of money. In addition, she also planted a few fruits and vegetables, and the days passed uneventfully.
However, at the end of last year, Granny Zhang had a serious illness, and although her body recovered, her basic condition continued to decline. She felt weak, depressed, and had a worse memory. Even when you are walking, you will suddenly forget the direction. She has been admitted to the hospital twice in the last 3 months.
After being admitted to the hospital last time, Mrs. Zhang's family and doctor advised her not to live alone, otherwise something would happen. So she proposed that Granny Zhang live with her two children.
Granny Zhang called her two children and told them about her retirement plans. She proposes a "family life together for a year", starting with the eldest son's house and continuing until the following March, when the younger son takes over. Granny Zhang also said that although these two houses are not valuable, they will not be ** for the time being, and they can still be used when their children and grandchildren have time to worship their ancestors or retire in the future. And the money she has in her hand now is only thirty or forty thousand, which may not be taken into account by them.
Mrs. Zhang's family property is not much, so the two children have no opinions. However, the eldest daughter-in-law felt that "once a year, a family of three, year after year, this is an unjust and unjust practice," she said bluntly.
The eldest daughter-in-law mentioned the past to show that Granny Zhang was partial to her younger son's family. For example, she said that after the eldest son got married, Granny Zhang spent more money for the marriage of her younger son, and the second son got married at the age of the second. As for the dowry, Mrs. Zhang just gave a bracelet handed down by her family to her eldest daughter-in-law, and the rest of the money was paid by the eldest son himself.
Besides, when it comes to taking care of children, Granny Zhang has been with her youngest son for 18 years until his eldest daughter goes to college. As for the eldest daughter-in-law, she was given 10 old hens, a basket, and then went back to her hometown. The eldest daughter-in-law felt that all this was Granny Zhang's favoritism, so it was unjust for her to propose that the two take turns to take care of the elderly.
I raised my child, and it was my parents who raised him. Why don't you go to him and ask him, what does he think? ”
As soon as the eldest daughter-in-law said this, Granny Zhang kept silent, and she had to accept this reality. She and her granddaughter have never even met each other a few times. The eldest and his family came back every two or three years, so that her grandson didn't have any feelings for her.
Later, the eldest daughter-in-law learned that her younger brother had died early, and the younger siblings were not having a good time. The eldest son promised to take care of his parents, and now that the two elders are in the eldest son's house, it is only natural that they will take care of them. If Granny Zhang comes back, it will be troublesome.
Mom, I understand your feelings, but I can't help it, I have to help my son! If I don't help them, their family will be miserable. ”
Despite being biological, the life paths of these two children are completely different. Now, his eldest son, in a second-tier city, owns two properties. Their salaries and pensions are enviable.
The youngest son studied hard, but he was not a good seedling. In the end, he dropped out of high school in his second year of high school, and seeing that the college entrance examination was hopeless, he simply went back to farming.
If you don't make up some money for him and find a way to marry him, wouldn't you be a single? At that time, the boss agreed, and asked him what he meant. ”
The boss nodded, he thought the same way at the beginning, he could understand his parents' distress. He was confident that he could find a daughter-in-law.
It's just that he has no choice but to help his youngest son. When they ran away from home and abandoned their one-year-old grandson, their farmland was flooded due to a flood in their hometown. The youngest son and his wife's hard work for a year was ruined, and they still owe a lot of debt. The two discussed it and planned to go out to work. If Mrs. Zhang and the others don't come back, they will have to let this young daughter-in-law watch here. It is not easy for his son to provide for him to study and marry a daughter-in-law.
So, they went back to the countryside and helped the second son and the second son to watch the children. Now, his eldest son has been admitted to a prestigious school, and his salary is also very high. At this time, the second family finally had hope.
I know I owe you so much that I can't do anything. Parents are their own children, and there is only so much they can do, and all they can do is do their best. Seeing your brother like this, my heart felt like I had been cut by a knife, and I couldn't sleep at night. ”
Mrs. Zhang cried so much that she pulled her eldest son, who was comforting her mother, and said sorry again and again. He doesn't blame his parents, but he can feel his wife's feelings.
Moreover, the parents did give the eldest son a lot of benefits, and they could not take revenge. He wants to fulfill his promise to take care of the elderly, take care of the elderly. If Mrs. Zhang comes back, it will be troublesome.
Just when everyone was silent, the eldest son at work called Granny Zhang and asked her how she was doing. After learning about the situation, he sent a ** call to his parents.
Uncle and aunt are right. It is undeniable that my grandparents took the most care of the family, especially me. Without their efforts, I might not be where I am now. I often think of my grandfather on the way to work, I remember that I was at school, no matter how late it was, he would always wait for me at home and prepare a supper for me. I felt guilty that I couldn't repay their affection. ”
Mom, Dad, I've been very busy lately, and I'm about to get married, so I can't come to see her anymore, so I'll leave it to you.
