Uncle Zhong, a retired cadre of a state-owned enterprise with a pension of 9,000 yuan, went to his son's house in the county two years ago to support the elderly, and now he is in a dilemma.
The following is Uncle Zhong's own statement:
My name is Zhong Yiqiang, I am 67 years old this year, my wife has passed away from illness for many years, and I have lived in my son's house for two years. After coming to the county seat, I sold the old house in the town, thinking that I could spend my old age in my son's house, but who would have thought that it was not an ideal state.
I was kind enough to help my son with the housework at first, because my son. My daughter-in-law has to go to work, I take the initiative to help my son buy vegetables, and then cook and cook, except for my daughter-in-law's room, I will do a good job of cleaning the other rooms, just waiting for my son. The daughter-in-law came home for dinner.
In the first two months, my daughter-in-law also gave me 3,000 yuan a month to buy vegetables, but then I didn't give any money, and I couldn't say anything as a father-in-law, thinking that I would rely on my daughter-in-law to support the elderly in my old age anyway, so I continued to work as a free nanny at my son's house.
People work as nannies, with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan for food and housing, and I have to pay thousands of yuan a month.
Now, my original savings have been spent, and I rely on my pension to buy groceries every month, not only that, but my daughter-in-law often asks me for money, such as my grandson who enrolls in special classes and asks me for money, and my daughter-in-law also asks me to get money when she travels abroad.
Later, I wanted to go back to my hometown to retire, but considering that the house in my hometown has been sold, I want to go home and get the money to buy a house again.
Conclusion:
Uncle Zhong's experience tells us that he can't rely on his son for the elderly, Uncle Zhong originally had a pension of 9,000 yuan and could live a well-off life, but because of his son's gnawing of the old, Uncle Zhong was in a dilemma, who to blame?
