His daughter-in-law was a formidable character, constantly arguing and making a scene, always crying and pregnant. His son, Zhou Yangyang, knelt down and begged, "Dad, my older brother is doing well in Haicheng. It's not that I don't want to take care of you, but... why don't you go stay with him for a while, until Tian Tian gives birth..."
Caught in a dilemma, Zhou Dahai finally swallowed his pride and called his eldest son.
Thinking about it honestly, the younger son isn't wrong. The money spent on his education could have built several houses. Would the older son have just tossed him around like a football? That's not his style! He deserves more for his current success and respectability...
When I made the call, my youngest son had already rushed back to the ticket gate, leaving his father in the waiting hall without even turning his head back, as if he would be tripped up by a demon if he was even a step too late.
Zhou Dahai touched his knees, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart, until a passerby knocked his wheelchair down, which brought him back to his senses.
Sure enough, his eldest son arrived with a driver and a private car. He rarely saw his eldest son.
He had only met her twice before. The third time, he opened the door with great joy, only to find his eldest daughter-in-law there.
Zhou Dahai had prepared himself to be ridiculed and insulted, but to his surprise, apart from the moment he opened the door, his eldest daughter-in-law's eyes went from furious to calm, and she even asked him what he wanted to eat later.
As expected of a respectable man, he was half relieved, but the other half was worried that his eldest daughter-in-law would tell her mother-in-law, and what if that woman found out...
At this moment, Zhou Dahai was in tears: "I was foolish. I should have known better than to give them the house. But your brother is already twenty-five. Back in our hometown, people his age should already be fathers of two children... Besides, most of the demolition compensation was used by Tian Tian to help her brother get married. Now that they're divorced, how will Yang Yang find a wife?"
The old man complained about his youngest son for a while, and then analyzed: Yangyang is too ashamed to face you. He argued with Tiantian for me and got scratched on his face. How could he dare to come?
Even though this wasn't the first time Sun Lifang had heard about this, she still couldn't contain her anger. Did they really think they were easy targets? They didn't get a penny when it came to dividing the money, but they couldn't shirk their responsibility for taking care of her in her old age.
But when Sun Lifang saw her father-in-law, Zhou Dahai, hunched over, looking as embarrassed as a statue in his wheelchair—
She saw a reflection of herself in her father-in-law; she had been like that in her past life too...
It's both infuriating and pathetic. Everyone gets old eventually. Does being poor mean you shouldn't take care of yourself in old age?
