"Third, you are already this old, and your brothers and sisters must be no longer young. If they have to choose to take care of them in their old age, they will definitely choose your brother, not you, who just woke up, knows nothing, and has to learn everything from scratch.

Fourth, there are two possibilities for them to cruelly kick you out. The first is that they are cruel enough and don’t care about other people’s opinions. They are tired and fed up, so they let you fend for yourself. This is different from the previous situation where you were sick before and they didn’t dare to kick you out. This time, they can confidently say that you are capable enough and should take care of yourself.

The second possibility is that they chose to give up you for your brother, and now they will no longer feel guilty about giving up on you.

If they spend money on you again, regardless of whether they have the money or not, even if they do, they may be willing or forced to spend it on your brother's children instead of working hard to earn some for you from scratch.

When a person gets old, after choosing a child to take care of him in his old age, he will firmly listen to that child, plan everything for that child, and even exploit other children to meet the child's demands.

Since ancient times, the word "unfilial" has been used in two ways. One is to be truly unfilial, and the other is to use the word "unfilial" to suppress truly filial children and achieve their goals.

I say this, please think carefully about it. I am not asking you to be a truly unfilial child, but I am asking you to plan for your future.

They have already chosen their child to support them in their old age. Everything they have in the end will belong to that child. At this time, everything they get will also be spent on that child.

In other words, if you give money to your mother, she may not spend it on her and your father, but on your brother, sister-in-law, or their grandchildren. You are actually supporting your brother's family.

Maybe you say you are willing to support your brother's family, but if you give him 2,000 this time, how much will you give him next time? Who would believe you if you said you would give him all this time?

People's hearts will never be satisfied. You can compare and contrast with others, but if you go down by even one dollar, they will nag you and say that you are hiding money, that you are reluctant to spend it on them, and that you are unfilial.

Don't be in a hurry. Go do things first. Learn from others for a while and learn how to adapt to this society that is incompatible with you.

Save your wages first. If your parents know that you have got a job with a good salary, they may come to find you without you having to go back.

When they come to you, if you tell them to save the money for your own future, your parents will still have some conscience towards you.

If, when they see you, they ask you for money or pension, I tell you, no matter how much money you earn or save, it will never satisfy their greed.

If you meet a woman who doesn't despise your past and the woman you really want to marry, how will you support her and your children?

Once you give it, you can't break it. Breaking it would be unfilial. So, do you want to bring your wife and children to earn money to support your brother's family?"

The car had stopped by the roadside, and Liu Dagang was still thinking. He thought carefully about his sister's words. There were many things he didn't understand, but he knew one thing: this sister was doing this for his own good.

"Sister, tell me what I should do. I'll listen to you."

Zhou Xiang smiled, thinking it was worth all her efforts and earnest advice to him.

"You should save money first. You must not let your parents know that you have savings. If they come to you, you must say that you don't have much money. If they come early, you must say that you still need to buy a lot of things, such as clothes, shoes, bedding, daily necessities, toiletries, and winter supplies. If they have a conscience, they will not force you to pay.

If they always come to see you after getting their salary, and complain about how much money they spent on you in the past, and now that you are better, you should take care of them in their old age, it goes without saying that they are really here to ask for money, but not to see you.

You can ask them what money they spent on you and whether they spent more on you or your brother.

Building a house and getting married are both very expensive. How old were you when they treated you? Was the money enough to build a house? Or was it enough to get married?

You can't give in. If you give in once, you'll give in more and more. What I hate most is people who forget their own last names after listening to a few nice words from others."

Liu Dagang nodded repeatedly, "I'll listen to my sister and save all the money. If my brother ends up treating my parents badly, I can still provide for their retirement. If my parents get sick and are hospitalized, and my brother asks me to share the cost, I can also contribute money. If I can do these two things, I won't be an unfilial child, right?"

Zhou Xiang smiled. "Yes, for you, if you can do these two things, you are already filial. You can't take care of other things, and you don't need to take care of them, because you still have to take care of your own future and even your own retirement."

Liu Dagang was relieved after receiving the approval. "Shall we go save the money now?"

Zhou Xiang shook his head, "No, let's go buy clothes first."

Liu Dagang looked down at his clothes and asked, "Is my clothes okay?"

Zhou Xiang didn't expect that this man, after returning to normal, would be stingy. "How about this! Just buy a new set of clothes. When you go back, I'll ask them to find some old clothes that they no longer wear for you."

"Okay, okay!"

After convincing Liu Dagang to buy clothes, the three of them got out of the car. Zhou Xiang looked for cheap clothes, but the prices made Liu Dagang feel distressed. He held the money in his hand tightly and said, "Can't I just not buy it? I like wearing old clothes!"

Ling Ran's expression, which had been stern all the time, suddenly changed. "Think about it, if he doesn't want to buy it, then forget it. Let's go! Send him back. We can find a few sets of our dad's old clothes, Lu Jin's old clothes, and that should be enough for him to wear."

"Okay! I won't buy it."

Liu Dagang smiled. He finally saved his first sum of money.

The two took him to the bank again. After coming out, he smiled foolishly at the passbook. He didn't recognize the numbers on it. His sister said that he could ask others and learn to write some simple words from others.

Lu Jin just felt confused. Why was he asked to teach people how to read and write?

Ling Ran glared at him, and he immediately nodded, "Yes, I will definitely teach him."

The house is full, and Brother Chao's room is his new house, so he can't move around. He can only add bedding in the room of Uncle Chen and his son.

Uncle Chen waved his hand and said, "Don't add more. Just get a big bed. My son and I can sleep in the big bed."

Ling Ran nodded, "Okay, let's change to a bigger bed. Uncle Chen, go buy one from the carpenter this afternoon. If you don't have one, we'll have it custom-made."

Uncle Chen nodded, then hesitantly asked, "Can I go home in the evening when I'm free?"

Ling Ran nodded. "Okay, there's no requirement that you live here. In the summer, the days are long, so it's very convenient for you to go home after get off work. Lu Jin and the others live here all year round, so they'll take the night shift. From now on, from May 1st to October 1st, you can get off work at 5pm."
