In this fast-paced society, family relationships are often fragile due to generational differences and conflicting values. This article tells the story of an elderly couple, Yu Tiequn and Jia Shuzhen, who, after experiencing the great grief of their daughter's death, pinned all their hopes on their only son, Yu Haishi. They sold the house left by their daughter and used the money to help their son buy a bigger house, looking forward to spending a warm and harmonious old age in his son's home. However, as time passed, they gradually found that their son's attitude changed, from initial gratitude to indifference, and even revealed his selfish nature. It's a story of family, generational differences, and the courage and strength of older people in the face of betrayal and disappointment.
On a busy street corner in Beijing, there is an old building where Yu Tiequn and Jia Shuzhen live. Their lives are calm and orderly, full of serenity peculiar to the elderly. Yu Tiequn, a retired worker, always wakes up early and goes for a walk in a nearby park. Jia Shuzhen likes to take care of her green plants by the window, and occasionally chats with her neighbors downstairs.
"Lao Yu, do you say that our days are good now?" Jia Shuzhen said to her husband one morning, smiling and tidying up the breakfast on the table.
Yu Tiequn nodded, a glint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, "Yes, Shuzhen, although Xiaoli (their daughter) left early, Haishi (their son) has always been very sensible. He also liked the house we bought for him. "
Jia Shuzhen sighed, with a hint of sadness in her eyes, "Yes, I'm just worried about Haishi, he is so busy with work, and he always doesn't go home much." "
As soon as the words fell, there was a knock at the door, it was their son Yu Haishi. He stood in the doorway with a tired face, carrying a few bags of fruit in his hands.
"Mom and Dad, I've come to see you. Yu Haishi's voice sounded a little hurried.
"Haishi, why are you free today?" Jia Shuzhen happily greeted her, while taking the things in her hand.
Yu Haishi replied with a smile, "The work is a little easier, I want to come and see you." By the way, the new house I bought is almost finished, so you can move in with me when the time comes. "
When the old couple heard this, their faces were filled with joy. Yu Tiequn patted his son on the shoulder, "Okay, okay, let's wait to move over." "
However, as time passed, they gradually noticed that their son's attitude began to change subtly. At first, they didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was the pressure of work. But when Yu Tiequn and Jia Shuzhen actually moved into their new home, they realized that everything was not as rosy as they imagined......
After moving into their son's new home, Yu Tiequn and Jia Shuzhen originally thought that they would enjoy a happy old age. However, the reality is far from what they think. Yu Haishi's work seems to have become busier, and he goes home less and less. Even at home, he often goes behind closed doors, busy with his own affairs, and seems indifferent to his parents.
On a sweltering summer afternoon, Jia Shuzhen wanted to turn on the air conditioner, but was stopped by Yu Haishi.
"Mom, the electricity bill is so expensive now, let's bear with it and don't always turn on the air conditioner. Yu Haishi's tone was unmistakably indifferent.
"But it's so hot outside, you see your dad is sweating so hot. Jia Shuzhen replied a little helplessly.
Yu Haishi was unmoved, "Mom and Dad, you can just take a break, after all, I am still paying off the loan for this house." "
This made Yu Tiequn and Jia Shuzhen feel very uncomfortable, and they began to doubt whether their decision was correct. They began to notice a huge gap between the way their son treated them and what they expected from him.
One day, while tidying up her room, Jia Shuzhen accidentally turned over some documents about the title certificate of the house. She was shocked to find out that the house was actually registered in her grandson's name. It made her feel betrayed like never before.
"Tie Qun, take a look, how is this house registered in the name of Xiaobao (their grandson)?" Jia Shuzhen asked in a trembling voice.
Yu Tiequn took the document with a look of disbelief in his eyes. They realized that they were not only snubbed by their son, but even unknowingly, helped their son complete a deception.
Their mood shifted from initial shock to grief to anger. They began to reflect on whether there was something wrong with the way they were parents, or if the intergenerational differences were irreparable.
This series of incidents was a profound blow to the soul of Yu Tiequn and Jia Shuzhen. They begin to think about whether they should continue to stay in this home full of indifference and deceit in their later years.

After Yu Tiequn and Jia Shuzhen discovered the truth, their hearts were shocked. They decided to have a deep conversation with their son, Yu Haishi, hoping to understand the truth behind it all.
One day after dinner, Yu Tiequn walked in front of Yu Haishi with a calm face and the property right certificate.
"Haishi, can you explain why this house is registered in Xiaobao's name?" Yu Tiequn's voice was heavy.
Yu Haishi looked a little flustered, but quickly calmed down, "Dad, it's just a small formality issue, I thought you wouldn't mind." "
"We used all the savings left by our daughter to help you buy a house, and you did this to us?" Jia Shuzhen's voice trembled.
A trace of impatience flashed on Yu Haishi's face, "Parents, this is the way society is now, and I am also thinking about the whole family." Besides, don't you live here now?"
These words completely disappointed Yu Tiequn and Jia Shuzhen. They understood that their son's heart had been departed from them. They felt lonely and helpless like never before, and their hearts were full of questions: Could it be that they doted on their son too much to lead to the situation they are in today?
Faced with such a reality, Yu Tiequn and Jia Shuzhen made a difficult decision: leave the home and move into a nursing home. They think that maybe there, they can find true peace and happiness.
On the day of farewell, Yu Haishi had no expression. Jia Shuzhen packed her luggage, her eyes full of reluctance and loss. Yu Tiequn silently looked at this home that was once full of laughter, and his heart was full of endless sadness.
