What is your definition of "midlife crisis"?

In the home inspection career, I have seen many moments of defense breaking, including family ethics stories of dog blood, and there are also stories of murderous houses that make people sigh, and the story of breaking defense to be told today comes from a wall in an old house.

The owner is a middle-aged man in his early forties, or call him "Zhang Tiezhu" (readers who have read some of the previous stories should be familiar with this name, which is the pseudonym I am most accustomed to using). This iron pillar, also in order to buy a house has suffered a lot, the parents are ordinary working class in the city, old and in poor health, with three or four thousand yuan of enterprise retirement wages, in helping him with children, iron pillar and his wife together in the enterprise to do, all in the mid-life crisis. What I write about "midlife crisis" here means: there is no special core competitiveness, no family background, no dare to take leave, dare not resign, do not dare to get sick, and dare not die. (My own summary, non-authoritative, no reference.) Two people go to work during the day, one person takes the children to do homework at night, and the other goes to the night market to set up a small stall and sell some gadgets to earn some extra money.

The whole family is also this old house, as the children grow up, they must be changed, otherwise it is really not easy to live. After watching for several years, it was hard to wait for a suitable price, so the whole family was going to sell the house, and when I went to check the house, the family was arguing with a sad face, because the son who was in elementary school was fighting at school, and then caused the whole family to quarrel.

The son was happy that the child who finally had his own room because the new family would give him a small room, so he said the news that he was going to live in a new house at school, and then a child with good family conditions in the class also jumped up and said that he was moving to a new home, and then compared, even compared to how many toilets there were, the more outrageous, and finally the fight started, and the teacher called the parents.

After Zhang Tiezhu returned home, he began to criticize and educate his son Xiao Zhang, and Xiao Zhang was not convinced, and directly asked: "Why does my family not have money in his family?" ”。 Tie Zhu could not answer, so he ripped off Xiao Zhang's pants and began to beat, and his grandparents came over to scold Tie Zhu. Tie Zhu was angry and threw the question to Lao Zhang: "What are you stopping me for?" Didn't you just hit me like that when I was a kid? Are you going to tell him? ”

Old Zhang's blood pressure rose, and his scolding grinned even harder, and Grandma was shedding tears on the side, while Xiao Zhang was crying like a repeating machine, he was still asking: "Why doesn't my family have money without him, I have to be beaten!" Zhang Tiezhu saw Xiao Zhang's appearance and became even more angry. At this time, I stood at the landing of the stairs at an inopportune time, because the door was not closed, and I did not enter or retreat.

I heard Zhang Tiezhu beat his son while asking Lao Zhang without hesitation: "When I was a child, I was much better than the second dog's study, you and the second dog's father are still in the same unit, why did the second dog graduate from high school directly go to study abroad?" He reads that dog look can send out I can't? Your factory went bankrupt, his father had the ability to make money, you laid off? Why? I want to ask! ”

After this killing move came out, Zhang Tiezhu probably felt that he had overdone, stopped his hand, and Xiao Zhang's crying in the house gradually became smaller, so I went downstairs and gave Zhang Tiezhu a call to indicate that I had arrived. Zhang Tiezhu was still relatively polite on the phone, and he couldn't hear anything unusual, so he invited me upstairs.

I went upstairs and inspected it according to the standard procedure of the house inspection. Lao Zhang and his wife should not have wanted to see anyone at that moment, and should have gone out while I was inspecting the kitchen. Xiao Zhang was in the living room, sobbing while writing homework. The large room (that is, the master bedroom) is now occupied by two people from Zhang Tiezhu and Xiao Zhang (the old Zhang lives in a small room). There is a large piece of cloth hanging on the wall where the master bedroom bed is leaning, probably originally hung to slightly block between the wall and the bed. I said I had to take it down, look at the situation of the wall, Zhang Tiezhu helped me take it off, he began to cry as soon as he took it off, wow wow crying, that movement even Xiao Zhang was brought over.

I looked down at the wall, it was a wall of awards, the walls were all the awards that Zhang Tiezhu had received when he was a child, and they had been pasted for a long time, and the room used to be where the old Zhang and his wife lived. Zhang Tiezhu may have remembered this inexplicable bondage, or he may have remembered the dependence and warmth of his parents when he was a child, crying until he could not help himself, I helped Zhang Tiezhu off the bed (he was just standing on the bed to pick up the cloth), and then handed over a tissue, let Xiao Zhang pour a cup of water for his father, and I retreated first.

After the house inspection, I sent WeChat to Zhang Tiezhu to deal with it, and none of us mentioned the incident of that day again. Fortunately, they later sold the house and bought a house relatively smoothly, and now they are doing okay, so I told him that I had actually arrived early that day, and asked him if he could hide the name of the real person to write this story, and he agreed.

There is nothing new under the sun, I am the home inspector Sunshine, and today's story ends here.
