In traditional Chinese concepts, the elderly should be sensible, able to distinguish right from wrong, and full of wisdom in life.
They will guide you with their life experiences.
Otherwise, why is there an old saying that young people eat less salt than old people walk across more bridges?
But what is the reality? Not every elder in a family is wise.
It is truly a blessing to meet someone who can be reasonable and who is always thinking about not causing trouble for their children. We should be grateful that they can be so reasonable in their last days as "old children or young children".
The elderly in many families are unreasonable, loud, and refuse to queue. They take young people, their children, and society for granted.
For example, the two old ladies in the Chu family, and the old man that Chu Yiqing is facing with an extremely angry attitude at this moment.
Is this my grandma?
Chu Yiqing really hopes not!
If she wasn't her own grandmother, would she have been able to take it for granted, roll up her sleeves, and drag the old lady out the door?
Because the grandmother in front of her was talking about her, Chu Yiqing’s biological mother!
No child would tolerate anyone criticizing their parents in person, no one!
Chu Yiqing was so angry that his chest was heaving, and his voice was trembling:
"Grandma! That's enough! You're talking nonsense! If you imitate my aunt like this, where will my mother be? Will I not make cold cakes for you? You know exactly what's going on!"
You are old, and eating sticky food every day will cause dry stools, right?
I steamed some sticky rice dumplings for you, just in case you were too greedy. But is sticky rice dumplings even made right? Think about it, when you were lying on the bed these past few days, who took care of your poop and pee? When you had dry stools, my mom used her hands! She used her hands to pick them out for you! Are you confused?
What else do you want my mom to do? You're still bullying me, aren't you? It's been the same for decades, day in and day out. What are you doing? Are you hoping my parents will get divorced, so everyone in the compound will know about their shame?
Now, even when we're secretly chatting, we can still make up some stories about my mom. What exactly did my mom do wrong? Tell me! Tell me!
What on earth made you frame my mother like this?"
Chu Yiqing's emotions were extremely unstable, especially when she had just recalled the past few decades and felt sad for her mother, and then this happened.
Old Mrs. Chu was unable to react in time. This was like being caught gossiping behind someone's back. It wasn't embarrassing at all, but facing her eldest granddaughter's sudden questioning, she forgot how to react and was even confused and distracted, wondering:
When did the eldest granddaughter come? How come she just pushed the door open and came in, almost like she was about to tear down the door in her room?
The old lady was forced by her eldest granddaughter Chu Yiqing to lean against the head of the bed and rubbed back. She was a little caught off guard when she saw the raging anger in Chu Yiqing's eyes.
But she didn't lose the battle, Old Madam Chu squinted her eyes and tilted her neck to look at Chu Yiqing and muttered:
"Isn't it your mother? What did I say that was wrong? She just didn't make me lianggao! I see through it all. You've all been fooled by her. Your mother is just disgusted with me for living too long and doesn't want to serve me anymore. She has had enough of picking out poop, and I've eaten too much, so she has to pick it out for me again. If she doesn't like it anymore, she will starve me."
"You!" Chu Yiqing's eyes widened in disbelief.
She is eighty years old, eighty years old, and she still talks nonsense and is so confused that she doesn't know right from wrong. Her own grandmother can be so unreasonable that she is speechless!
She, she really wanted to say something extremely unfilial!
When Chu Yiqing was breathing rapidly and suppressing his emotions, his aunt who was sitting next to him joined in and added fuel to the fire at the right time.
This old lady is even more capable in fighting than her sister. She is as thin as a stick, but she is full of energy when fighting.
When Old Madam Chu's momentum weakened, her sister, the aunt, reacted faster. She sat cross-legged, put her two bony hands together, clapped her hands vigorously, and commented on Chu Yiqing sarcastically:
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, oh my god, I've never seen anything like this before! You!" Auntie stretched out her wrinkled index finger and pointed at Chu Yiqing who was standing beside the bed, pointing directly at Chu Yiqing's nose:
"You little girl, how dare you yell at your grandma? You unfilial thing, you're a debt collector!
If it were someone like you, I would have slapped you in the face a long time ago! You're thirty years old, and even my little great-grandson is not as good as you, and you come from a cadre family!
Tsk tsk, she's spoiled, that's why she gets beaten so lightly! Sister, your eldest granddaughter is getting more and more rebellious. You have to talk to Da Tianer and take charge of her! You can't let her do this, or she'll get punished easily! "
Chu Yiqing turned her head quickly and looked at her aunt.
Retribution?
Chu Yiqing clenched his fists.
She looked at her aunt's eyes, which were as strange as a dry well. She was getting angrier and angrier. At this moment, she heard the word "retribution" which greatly shocked her. She blurted out with gritted teeth:
"Just stay quiet when you come to visit. What does this have to do with you? You're everywhere. If you don't go to my house, who are you? Shut up!"
With a "slap", Old Mrs. Chu, who had broken her waist and had been lying in bed, humming every day that she couldn't get out of bed, was suddenly able to half stand up, and a big slap hit Chu Yiqing in the face.
"You shameless bastard, you were taught by your mother who has a mind like a sieve. You are such a bad boy, how dare you talk to your aunt like that? Who is your aunt? Who gave you the courage to talk like that? If you say 'brighten me, brighten me' again! How could I have raised such an ungrateful person like you? I regret it so much!"
You're thirty years old, what's wrong with you? Apologize to me now, or I'll have your father come back and chop you to death. Kneel down..."
