The Story of Happiness Court

Chapter 90 Helpless Sunset ([-])

"Through this survey, we fully understand the worries, fears, and irrational suspicions of these old people. Because they feel that their future is full of unknowns.

Just because they are ignorant of their future, they really want to report to the group to keep warm.

They are not only afraid of being alone, but also afraid of causing trouble to their children.

Especially those old people who are widowed and have no children. Their lives are boring, their future is dark, and they can’t see smiles on their faces all day long. They are even more distressing. This is our deepest experience in this investigation. "

Leng Hanhui saw Qiu Yuning's passion for the support of the elderly from the foreword of the research report "The Helpless Sunset".

This preface is very simple, but contains a lot of information.

He continued to read, and the following is an example of the investigation.

"We interviewed several elderly people. The following examples are our faithful records of these elderly people who lacked care and those who were almost ruthlessly abandoned by some unworthy descendants of some families. Now it is published as a reference for these elderly people to live in Xingfu Garden in the future. one of the grounds."

Next, Leng Hanhui saw what happened to the first old man recorded by Qiu Yuning.

"This is the first experience of an old man we have recorded. She is an old man who lives in the North District, and her name is Mrs. Sun."

Below is what happened to Mrs. Sun recorded by Qiu Yuning:

Mrs. Sun is 71 years old this year. Before her divorce, she took her youngest son alone and rented a small room in the North District for 12 yuan a month. Now the price has risen to more than 200 yuan. It has been almost 40 years since I lived alone in the barn.

Mrs. Sun divorced her husband when she was 31 years old. The husband took away her 8-year-old eldest son and left her younger son who was just one month old.

For the next 40 years, Mrs. Sun did not remarry. She endured hardships and tried her best to bring up her youngest son, Sun Manyue.

Studying, working, using her life savings, and borrowing some money, bought a house for him to marry a wife and have children.

Houses at that time were not like what they are now, which cost tens of thousands of yuan per square meter. You can buy a small set of flats for 10,000+ yuan.

When her son can stand on his own, she will also be old.She now lives on a monthly pension of 1980 yuan.

After deducting the monthly living expenses, after paying the rent, there are still about 340 yuan for natural gas, water, electricity, and sanitation. In addition to seeing a doctor and taking medicine, buying a piece of clothing from a small stall, saving 20 yuan for my granddaughter, and saving some more Spend, the money is still enough.

Mrs. Sun has three major worries now: The first worry is that her beloved granddaughter Honghong hasn't seen her for 3 months.

The second worry is that the joints of the elderly's legs, feet and hands are not only painful like needles, but also stiff and unable to bend. Now they can't even cook.

The third worry is that his son Sun Manyue agreed to use the more than 108 million yuan in compensation for the demolition and relocation of his grandpa and grandma's old house before she got married to buy a Xiangyang building for his mother, but two years have passed. The demolition households have already lived in new houses, but there is still no news of the building promised by the son, and the money will not be returned to her.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Sun's face was full of sadness.

A loving mother worked so hard to bring up her son, and when she was old, this precious son cheated his wife hard.

This kind of thing is uncomfortable for anyone.

However, Mrs. Sun endured it.

When Mrs. Sun talked about her granddaughter Honghong, her face was full of warmth and happiness.

"The child is (very) obedient, and it hurts me. As soon as the granddaughter came, she called grandma from all the way. She bought me half a catty of fat and fragrant pork head with the pocket money she saved. I'll finish eating." Every time she said these words about her granddaughter, Mrs. Sun would have to wipe away her tears for a while.

"Aren't your son and daughter-in-law coming to see you?"

"They are busy, how can they have time to see me?"

"They know you have high uric acid and gout?"

"..."

Mrs. Sun shook her head and did not answer.

"Did they help you with some chores?"

"..."

Mrs. Sun still shook her head and did not answer.

Her old neighbor, Mrs. Liu, who lives not far from her barn, told us: "His son and his wife are not far from the place where Mrs. Sun lives now, which is less than three miles away from here, in the old city square community. Hualian in the North District is adjacent to the east.

His son, Sun Manyue, used Mrs. Sun's money to open a small supermarket with two shops, and he is now considered a rich man.

Before Mrs. Sun retired, she seldom saw her son or daughter-in-law visiting her at home, even during the holidays. It was a rare sight, and she never bought anything for the old lady.It's been decades, it's really not easy for Mrs. Sun. "

The old neighbor, Mrs. Liu, also introduced to us: "Ms. Sun has been a widow for 40 years, but she is afraid that Sun Manyue will be angry after remarrying.

For this son, it can be regarded as holding it in the hand for fear of falling, and holding it in the mouth for fear of melting.

How did she get so sick?Didn't it hurt to wash diapers in cold water without rest during confinement?Before she recovered, she braced herself and went to work.

To put it bluntly, she loves this child too much. A young man in his 20s can't make a stove, cook noodles or dumplings.

Before getting married, this precious son didn't even wash a pair of socks by himself.But now, according to my grandsons, this Sun Manyue serves his wife just like his mother served him back then! "

During our research, we discovered a surprising phenomenon: the mother (father) is kind, but the son (daughter) is not filial!It is just the opposite of the mother's kindness and son's filial piety that is often said in the common saying.Of course, there are many mothers who are kind and filial, and we can't sum it up in a word, but what we learned in the research, there are people like Sun Manyue who can never be called filial sons but can only be evil sons, and they really exist.

Aunt Liu said: "This year, just after winter, Mrs. Sun suffered from rheumatism. We called her son several times, but he didn't show up. Honghong came to buy some for her grandma. I bought ten steamed buns and a catty of pork head meat. The old lady was so moved that she hugged her granddaughter and howled for half an hour.

But now, even Honghong doesn't come, it's because the non-human daughter-in-law doesn't call.Even the more than 108 million yuan was not given to the old lady by the daughter-in-law, let alone buying a house.

The room she lives in now is a barn, which is cloudy and damp. It's no wonder that she doesn't get sick in winter!We neighbors discussed this matter, you have to take care of it, there should be a bed for Mrs. Sun in Xingfu Garden.

I heard Xiaoqiu that you are a college student, otherwise, you write in newspapers and on the Internet, shabby and shabby for them, and let them ignore the elderly!Look where they put their faces! "

It's just that Mrs. Sun disagreed and kept shaking her head without speaking.

Not long ago, Mrs. Liu called me and told me that Mrs. Sun had finally figured it out and agreed that Laochengfang Community could be "exposed" in newspapers or online, but never use her real name. Family ugliness cannot be publicized.

She has reached this point, and she still thinks about his son's face.Poor parents in the world.
