It is said that raising children to prevent old age, but sometimes, it is not a son who is raised, but an "enemy". This sounds harsh, but it is a true portrayal of many families. Especially those old people who are over the age of sixties, in the face of their children who are already sixty or seventy years old, there are even more hardships.
My neighbor, Aunt Li, recently washed her face with tears all day because of her son and daughter-in-law. The old lady has worked hard all her life, and finally pulled up her three sons, thinking that she could enjoy Qingfu, but who knows, none of these three sons made her worry.
The boss has a wooden personality, is not good at words, married a strong and domineering daughter-in-law, and has to listen to his daughter-in-law in everything, and he is lukewarm to Aunt Li, her own mother.
The second child has a sweet mouth, but he has a lot of eyes, and over the years, he has asked Aunt Li for money, saying that he is doing business, but the result is all in vain.
The third child is the most chilling Aunt Li, from childhood to adulthood, she is the most favored in the family, but since she got married, she rarely goes home to visit Aunt Li, let alone ask for warmth.
Some time ago, Aunt Li accidentally fell and broke her leg and needed to be taken care of. Three sons, you push me, I push you, no one wants to take Aunt Li home.
The eldest daughter-in-law said that the family is small and cannot live.
The second child said that he was busy with work and had no time to take care of it.
The third child was even more excessive, and directly said that let Aunt Li go to a nursing home, and they didn't have time to take care of it anyway.
When Aunt Li heard this, her heart was half cold. She never thought that her son, who had been raised with hard work, would say such a thing.
That day, Aunt Li's wife, my old neighbor Uncle Zhang, drank some wine and couldn't help but complain to us.
"Tell me, what's this called! We worked hard to raise them, and in the end, we ended up like this! As Uncle Zhang spoke, his eyes turned red.
"Not really! These days, it's really better to raise a child than a dog! Another neighbor chimed in.
"I can see that these sixty or seventy-year-old children, if they still curse their eighty or ninety-year-old parents, it shows these three truths." Uncle Zhang sighed and continued.
"What are the three truths?" I couldn't help but ask.
"First, this son and daughter has no conscience at all, and he doesn't know how to be grateful." Uncle Zhang said indignantly, "They only remember their parents' badness, but they forget their parents' nurturing grace." ”
"Second, these children are too selfish, only caring for themselves, and not caring about the feelings of their parents at all." Uncle Zhang continued, "They only think about their small family, but they forget that their parents are their dearest people. ”
"Third, these sons and daughters are too stupid and filial, and they are pinched to death by their own daughters-in-law and children, and they don't have their own opinions at all." Uncle Zhang finally said, "They would rather trust outsiders than their parents." ”
Uncle Zhang's words made me feel very uncomfortable when I heard them. Yes, in this world, there are always some people who don't know how to cherish or be grateful, and they can't regret it until they lose it.
