The Story of Happiness Court

Chapter 97 Helpless Sunset ([-])

Our law has made mandatory provisions on supporting the elderly on the lowest moral line.

However, due to many reasons such as economic reasons, family conflicts, moral standards, and strong legal concepts, even this modest model of survival and retirement has been challenged.

The problem of support for the elderly is becoming more and more complicated. The main reason why the contradictions have not been sharpened is that the filial piety of the vast majority of people has not disappeared, but the way of supporting the elderly has not been done properly due to various objective reasons.

For example, the sons and daughters of the state-owned enterprise abroad, they are really powerless, so they can only hire nannies to take care of the elderly.

It's a pity that most elderly people don't like to waste money on expensive nanny.

There are also elderly people who think they can still move and don't want to hire a nanny, so something happens.

Then there is the influence of public opinion.

Some elderly single men are afraid of being gossiped by others, and would rather stay in the lake pavilion in the middle of the night and almost freeze to death than return to their empty homes.For example, there are more than a dozen old people like Zhou Lao.

The other is the love, care, tolerance, accommodation and even humiliation of the elderly towards the younger generation.

We record these cases, not only because of the investigation and investigation of Xingfuyuan's occupancy problem, but also because it has aroused the attention of all social strata to the issue of supporting the elderly, and hopes that all walks of life will pay attention to this issue.

The title of the eighth case is "The Old Lady Living in a Single Dormitory"

There is a dormitory building for single employees of central enterprises in the old city square community.

In the dormitory for single employees, a special guest lives in. She is the wife of an employee of the central enterprise where Mr. Ma works. The employee's name is Fang Huayi, and he is his wife's only son.

The old man is 72 years old this year.The old lady was picked up by Fang Huayi from her hometown more than 5000 miles away from Laochengfang Community for refuge.

Not long ago, Fang Huayi's eldest brother had a car accident, and he was gone at that time, and the matter was kept from the old man.The fear is that the old man will have an accident if he finds out.

Unexpectedly, her daughter-in-law Liu Qin did not allow her to enter the house.Although the leaders at all levels in Fang Huayi's work unit found Fang Huayi's wife to do work for many times, but if she played the piano with a cow, this woman who is not good at oil and salt still does not allow the old man to enter the house.

She told the leader, it’s fine to live in, but I will smash everything in the house, as long as she can live in it!

What else can I do?Several leaders of the company were very troubled, but there was nothing they could do about this woman. After all, this was their family's private matter.

In this way, Mrs. Leng moved into the single dormitory for employees under the care of the leader.

The conflict between Liu Qin and her mother-in-law is inexplicable.

Since they don't live together, they often don't see each other for several years. It stands to reason that there should be no conflicts.

But the conflict broke out in Fang Huayi's extremely chilling way.Then when and why did the conflict between Liu Qin and the old woman start?That has to start from the beginning.

Fang Huayi used to run the family painstakingly.A good half of his spare time was spent explaining what happened to his living expenses.

His wife has a morbid love for money, and she seems to be what people often call a "money fan".

She doesn't have Grandet's shrewdness and calculations, but what she has is Fang Huayi's extreme distrust in spending money.

She almost guarded against Fang Huayi from secretly sending money to his mother like a thief.

Therefore, she took several measures to completely eliminate the loopholes she thought might exist.One is that all wages are handed over, and even cents are not allowed to be kept. (Fang Huayi doesn't smoke or drink alcohol.) Second, the money for buying vegetables can be paid by Ding Kemao, and he won't give any more money.

For example, she heard from others that the cucumbers in the market were cheap, only two yuan and thirty cents a catty, and if Fang Huayi bought three catties, she would spend six yuan and nine cents.

If she thinks that the cucumber Fang Huayi bought is not enough for three catties (she doesn't know how to ride a bicycle, so she needs her husband to buy vegetables).

That kind of sarcasm was like a magic voice pouring into his brain, with extremely strong penetrating power. In Fang Huayi's words, it was like sawing a nerve with a blunt saw.

For example, she would say something like, "These $[-] cucumbers look like they cost two dollars and seventy cents at most. Would you save the money so you can send it to your mother?"

Fang Huayi didn't speak and didn't answer, it was a guilty conscience.If you refute, it's like poking a hornet's nest, or immediately attracting a hysterical scolding like a frying pan.

Things like this that seem unbelievable to others are commonplace in Fang Huayi's house.

What troubled Fang Huayi the most was the business trip.

Liu Qin made Fang Huayi's business trip location, residence, meals, and business trip time clear, and the travel expenses, accommodation expenses, meal expenses, and subsidies from the unit were calculated into the subsidy, which made Fang Huayi lose face in front of his friends.

What made Fang Huayi most sad was that once he was on a business trip, he only found out that the fare of a bus had increased by [-] yuan before returning home.

This made Fang Huayi break out in a cold sweat: If he bought a ticket for the one stop before leaving home, he would have to walk a full 20 miles.But I really can't walk anymore, because I haven't eaten since morning.

It's not that he doesn't want to eat, but that Liu Qin still paid Fang Huayi's travel expenses according to the previous calculation, and he didn't expect the rapidly rising prices.Fang Huayi lived frugally, but even though he didn't eat breakfast, he forgot that the ticket price would also increase.

That day, Fang Huayi was hungry and rushed home with a dusty face, one can imagine the sadness in his heart.

But Liu Qin was still furious, because Fang Huayi didn't have a few cents left in his pocket like before.

It wasn't until Fang Huayi endured hunger and thirst and reported all the expenses since his business trip in detail for the third time that Liu Qin, who was dubious, took a break from the thunder's anger, but still asked with great distrust: "Are you outside?" Just send the money you saved to your mother?"

According to the insider's analysis, it may be this kind of suspicion that made Liu Qin believe that her mother-in-law took advantage of her, so that she planted inexplicable grievances, which caused Fang Huayi to encounter such a great misfortune, but still could not be understood by Liu Qin.

In the matter of treating her mother-in-law, Liu Qin was not only misunderstood or stingy, she had gone far beyond the scope of being stingy and ruthless, she had also crossed the bottom line of morality and violated the marriage law.

Fang Huayi, who couldn't bear it, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

When we were conducting research, he proposed to divorce Liu Qin.

But here came the problem, Liu Qin threatened with death, not only asking for the custody of her daughter, but also asking Fang Huayi to leave the house without leaving the house.

Their daughter refused to follow her mother life and death, and this Liu Qin actually climbed onto the balcony on the third floor and threatened her daughter to jump off!

The little girl was so frightened that she almost passed out.

Fang Huayi felt sorry for his daughter, but couldn't let go of his mother, so he could only hand over the custody and left the home that made him sad for half his life.

Fang Huayi got divorced, and he and his mother became homeless all of a sudden.

His old mother couldn't live in the single dormitory for female employees, and he couldn't let the old man live in his four-person dormitory for single male workers, each with a single bed. The home of an old friend who works on foreign-aided construction pipelines.
