The latest family drama is really thrilling! A friend who has just entered middle age has encountered a lot of entanglements at home.
It happened in a bustling city in the north, and a teacher named Li Hua had a monthly salary of just over 8,000.
He and his wife Wang Li have been married for seven years, and although their lives are uneventful, they are also warm and loving. Until one day, Wang Li proposed to let her elderly biological father move into their home to support the elderly.
This proposal was like a bomb, blowing up Li Hua enough! He immediately raised serious objections.
It turned out that his father-in-law had always favored his younger brother Wang Gang, and invested all his energy and financial resources in Wang Gang, but he had always been cold to his daughter Wang Li. Now I want to live in my daughter's house, which is really infuriating.
Although Wang Li also admits that her parents do favor her younger brother, she feels that her daughter's duty is to fulfill her filial piety. As a result, the two broke out into a fierce quarrel, and the contradictions became bigger and bigger, and even Wang Li began to threaten divorce.
Faced with the stubbornness of the old couple, Li Hua also had to weigh the pros and cons. If you take care of your father-in-law, your pitiful salary may be thinned; If you don't take care of it, you will not only have to face the resentment of your wife, but also lose your ethics and morality.
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Li Hua and Wang Li had no choice but to make a concession first. They called Wang Gang, hoping to get support from their younger brother.
However, Wang Gang unexpectedly ignored it, which undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. They had no choice but to visit the old man's home in person to solve these contradictions at the root.
trotted all the way to Wang Li's hometown, but ushered in a greater setback. When they met, the father-in-law's attitude was very unfriendly, and he obviously had a grudge against Li Hua.
Li Hua cautiously proposed several alternatives, such as letting his father-in-law go to Wang Gang's house for a while for the time being, or considering staying in a nursing home.
Unexpectedly, this directly annoyed his father-in-law, and the old man was furious, asking Li Hua if he disliked him and pushed his living arrangements in his later years.
The scene was very awkward for a while, and the three of them sat in the living room without saying anything. In the end, Li Hua and Wang Li had no choice but to leave temporarily.
On the way home, both of them were in a heavy mood. They all know that far from being resolved, the issue is at an even greater impasse.
But at least one thing is clear: no matter what happens, the two of them must stick together to find a way out.
The most difficult problem at the moment, in addition to taking care of his father-in-law, also needs to calm Wang Gang's dissatisfaction.
Li Hua called him several times and tried to explain the actual situation to him, but the other party always ignored him.
Just when Li Hua was at a loss, Wang Li suddenly had an idea and put forward a new idea - to invite Wang Gang and his daughter-in-law to live in the north for a period of time and communicate face-to-face to solve this contradiction.
That's a great idea! Li Hua immediately called, and with great effort, he finally persuaded Wang Gang and his daughter-in-law to be guests for a week.
After bringing Wang Gang's family from his hometown in Henan to the north, the atmosphere finally eased. Through face-to-face communication, everyone spoke their hearts to each other.
It turned out that Wang Gang had been angry about his parents' eccentricity for so many years, thinking that they doted on him but neglected his sister, which made him feel guilty.
After listening to his brother-in-law's story, he couldn't help but blush, and the guilt in his heart was even worse.
On the other hand, although the father-in-law is partial, after all, it is for his son to get ahead in the future. But in his later years, he also realized that what he did was not very fair. In the face of the children's doubts, the old man seemed a little twisted and helpless.
In this way, through the frank meeting of the family, the knot of years finally began to be untied.
Everyone realizes that the problem of pension does need to be shared and faced, and neither party's escape or paranoia can solve the actual problem.
After several discussions, they finally came up with a temporary plan: Wang Gang's family lived in the north for a period of time, and Li Hua and Wang Li took care of it.
If possible in the future, he will take his father-in-law back to his hometown in Henan, and Wang Gang will be fully responsible for the pension at that time.
This transition plan, while not ideal, has given everyone hope back. What's even more gratifying is that through this grinding, the cohesion of the whole family has been greatly enhanced.
While Li Hua and Wang Li are taking on the responsibility of providing for the elderly, they are also educating their son Li Mingming with their own actions, so that he can keep filial piety in mind since he was a child.
Wang Gang's family also learned valuable experience and had a deeper understanding of family affection and responsibility.
In this way, as time went on, this originally troubled family finally ushered in a new turnaround.
The family helps each other and unites as one, so that the care for the elderly, which should be a heavy burden, becomes much easier and full of warmth.
