"Our old lady is usually in great shape, but now she's over 70 and still can't stop working."
"I brought her from the countryside to the city so I could take good care of her in her old age. She's fine, and she's living a good life in her old age, but she's always busy with this and that, leaving rubbish around the house. The bottles and cardboard are almost filling up our house, and the whole balcony stinks. But when I tell her about it, she doesn't like it. She says I, as her daughter-in-law, don't know how to save money, and that bottles and cardboard are all money!"
The aunt was obviously very angry. Her good intentions were misunderstood.
"She doesn't lack pocket money. We give her pocket money every month, and her other children also give money. We brothers and sisters also pool our money for her medical treatment. But she insists on making her life miserable."
"I support her doing other things, but I can't bear to see such a good home turned into a garbage dump and smelly. It's really hard to be someone's daughter-in-law these days. You can't scold her, and you can't hit her."
It was obvious that this aunt had been holding it in for too long, and she just let it all out at once.
The uncle next to her nudged her with his elbow: "What are you talking about? That's our mom!"
"Look at him! I just said a few words and he started getting impatient. Ask yourself, am I telling the truth? I think your mother did it herself. Maybe she caught a bacterial infection while she was out picking up trash."
The aunt blocked the uncle's way and he couldn't say a word.
Because the uncle also knew that his wife was telling the truth, and he couldn't do anything about his mother.
He once tried to throw the old lady's things away, but the old lady started crying, making a fuss, and even tried to hang herself at home.
She also said that they despised her and that her life was miserable, raising a child...
Anyway, since she said some hurtful words, he had no choice but to acquiesce to the old lady's behavior.
"You're right, but now's not the time to talk about this. I just want to know what caused Mom's illness. If she's cured sooner, I'll feel at ease sooner."
The uncle was quite simple and he still hoped that his mother was fine.
"Didn't I tell you the reason? We have to let the host know. What if it's really because of this?"
My aunt's tone softened. Even though my mother-in-law did some things wrong, she also did some things well. If she hadn't worked so hard to raise her husband, she wouldn't have the life she has now.
Although there are conflicts in daily life, they are all minor conflicts. In the face of life and death, she still hopes that her mother-in-law will be safe and sound.
This really hits home with me. I truly relate. After all, I'm a small business owner now, and my family's financial situation isn't bad. But I still have to drive my million-dollar car to haul cardboard for my mom to sell. I still remember the look the recycling station owner gave me.
The above person is so funny! But this story resonates with me, too. My grandparents used to like to save things and put them on the balcony, but they never cleaned them properly and they smelled really bad, attracting mosquitoes in the summer. Eventually, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I threw everything away and made a big scene at home, and that's when things finally stopped.
[It turns out we're not the only family to do this. I'm not against people picking up bottles and cardboard, but we can't bring everything home. Last time, an elderly woman in our family found an old microwave oven outside and brought it home, saying it was a gift from a friend. When she plugged it in, it nearly blew up our house!]
It seems that there are quite a lot of such situations, and netizens are telling their own family stories.
Although our elderly family member doesn't pick up these things, he's quite pretentious. His crying, his fussing, and his threats of suicide are all his usual tricks. He starts recounting past hardships when you disagree with him, which I find a bit like moral blackmail.
[I don't mean anything else. Does the old lady have Alzheimer's? My grandfather used to pick up trash all the time and treated it like a treasure. Later, when he went for a checkup, he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.]
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Because of this incident, we even went to the psychiatric department for a checkup, and the old lady was fine!"
The aunt quickly shook her head and denied it.
She heard the old lady talking nonsense, so she suspected that she might have a mental problem. But it turned out that she was fine and nothing happened to her.
They were just overthinking it.
"Anchor, please help us take a look, we really have no other choice!"
The two looked at the anchor with expectant eyes.
"Send me the old lady's birth date and time."
Su Xuanxuan asked, and the two of them wrote with their clumsy hands and finally sent it privately.
Combining the old lady's information and the news mentioned above, it can be inferred.
Su Xuanxuan finally figured out the reason, a headache-inducing reason.
"alright!"
She let out a long breath.
Fang Qing next to him also opened his eyes and listened with his ears perked up.
The feeling of being the first to watch the show is really special. I used to only watch it in the live broadcast room, but now I can sit next to it in person, and it’s still a bit magical.
"There's a result, tell us now!"
The uncle's eyes widened and shone.
The tone was hurried, even a little nervous.
"Let's take it slow. I agree with Auntie's opinion. It was the grandmother who did it herself."
When he heard this, his uncle's face fell.
"What do you mean my mother did it herself?"
"You're still being so rude. There must be a reason why they said that. Just listen! You're such a filial son, you can't stand people talking about your mother. It seems I was right."
The aunt raised her arms speechlessly and gave the uncle a lecture.
Su Xuanxuan was not surprised and continued speaking in the same tone as before.
"This incident has something to do with your mother picking up trash, and it's not a bacterial infection. There's a bit of mystery involved in this."
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that it was not a bacterial infection, but when they heard the word "metaphysics", they became nervous again.
"Metaphysics? If we really encountered something unclean, then we made the right trip today!"
The aunt patted her chest with lingering fear. This sounded quite scary.
"Is there any solution to this problem?"
"have."
Su Xuanxuan nodded slowly, this is not difficult.
"This grandma likes to pick up things at home. Should she pick up everything she can use?"
Su Xuanxuan slowly revealed the information.
The aunt nodded: "That's right, I even pick up people's unwanted leather shoes."
"How come I don't know?"
"Of course you don't know, because I saw it with my own eyes. Later, I deliberately poked two holes in the sole of the shoe, and she threw it away."
Some things cannot be done openly and must be done secretly. If the old lady knew that it was she who exposed the sole of the shoe, she would probably make a big fuss at home again.
