My name is Zhao Gang, I am the only child in the family, and my family has been very poor since I can remember, but fortunately, with the company of my parents, I have a very happy childhood.
But it seems that every family has a difficult relative, who is obviously a close relative, but it seems vulnerable in front of interests.
For as long as I can remember, I would only see my father during the Chinese New Year, because my father was the third oldest in the family, so he was destined to have no benefit.
I heard my father say that he was going to school at that time, the eldest uncle and the second uncle had dropped out of school in order to fill the family, and he and the fourth uncle were about to graduate from junior high school.
But in that era, a peasant family was not just talking about raising so many children at once, and when it was time to pay the tuition fees for another year, the family was already poor and couldn't open the pot.
All kinds of scraped together, but only enough for one person's tuition, the father at that time was very sensible, and he carried a stool back home, saying that he didn't want to study.
In fact, only he knows how eager he is to learn, but he doesn't want his grandparents to work, so he gives up the opportunity to change the fate of his life.
However, they didn't take their father's forbearance to heart, and they didn't even praise them, just like that, because of the age advantage of the eldest and second uncles, the grandparents took out all their savings and gave them another hospital.
But my father lived with my fourth uncle in the old home, and I had to take care of the elderly, and they didn't even look at it, so my grandmother was still a little biased towards them.
And when I was very young, my grandfather treated me very well, and when my grandmother was sick, my father took out all the family's savings to treat my grandmother, and they only contributed a little money, and then they didn't even take care of it.
After the death of grandma, they cried more sadly than anyone else, only dad sat silently on the side, and at night when no one was around, he walked to grandma's posthumous photo in the middle of the night and kept wiping it with his hands.
In the blink of an eye, the fourth uncle graduated from college and it was time to start a family, but the woman's family asked to buy a house in the city.
But it was only 1991 at that time, how could an ordinary family have so much money, but the father who was very righteous helped again.
Obviously, he still lives in an earthen house without a gate, but he still took out a loan of 4,000 to the fourth uncle behind his mother's back, and said that he would buy his house in the old house.
originally wanted to make a note, but Dad felt that there was no need for this between brothers, but he didn't expect to plant a time bomb for himself.

Mom and Dad got married in 1988 and had me the following year, and I grew up almost with my mother at that time, because I could only see my father during the Chinese New Year.
My mother also worked very hard, because my father's salary was paid once a year, so she not only had to take care of me, but also had to go to work.
In order not to delay earning money the next day, she was busy in the field alone with a flashlight at night, and for several days in a row, because the uncle and the fourth uncle were working in the field.
So every year, my mother has to make three families when it comes to watering the land or harvesting, but my mother always asks for nothing in return, and every time she sells grain, she sends money to them.
But even this didn't get anything in return, it's just a proper "white-eyed wolf"!
When I was five years old, my grandfather was seriously ill, but my eldest and second uncles had just built a house, and there were two students in the family, and the fourth uncle had just gotten married, and the burden of taking care of the elderly fell on my father again.
Fortunately, grandpa's asthma is not too serious, as long as you don't work too hard and smoke less, it will be relieved a little, but grandpa is an idle person, and he always wants to find something to do in the sesame field he planted.
And I naturally became a free-range child, I almost got lost twice, but fortunately I was found by a neighbor and brought me home, maybe my grandfather also felt that he treated me badly, so he was very good to me.
In the blink of an eye, it was finally time for me to enter junior high school, and my family had finally paid off the loan they owed before, and had saved a little money to build a house.
The person he said was my fourth uncle, who relied on his own higher education, listened to my fourth aunt there, and took advantage of the language to say that the original 4,000 was a bride price for his brother.
And there is no written evidence, there should be a room for him in the old courtyard, because he only has an only daughter, so he said that he wanted to return to his roots when he was old.
But my mother didn't want to, could it be that they took advantage of any cheapness? At the beginning, they were given money to buy a house, which was to buy a house in their hometown, and now that they are doing well, the old house also wants to get a piece of the pie?
I thought that there would be no variables in this matter, because many elders in the family were present when he said 4,000 yuan, although there was no written evidence, but there were witnesses.
But we ignored the skills of the people, only to see that one day my fifth uncle came to my house and told my father about the past, but he who originally supported us changed his mind.
It turned out that my fourth uncle went to his house the day before and cried, saying that he was very embarrassed to be stuck between his brother and his wife, but in fact, he just wanted a key, and it was not necessary to return it.
But my mother trembled with anger and said, "Is it reasonable for whoever cries first? Just because we didn't cry, we should let it go again?"
And my fifth uncle left without making sense, and said that my mother was unreasonable, maybe this was also because our family was too tolerant of anything before.
But this time we will not compromise, originally thinking that we wanted to borrow some money to build a house for them before, but now because of this gambling, even if the money is not enough, we will not ask them to borrow a cent.
In this way, after my mother and my dad discussed, my dad continued to go out to work, and asked my third uncle to come over with his renovation team to help build the house.
I thought they would make trouble, but I didn't expect my fourth uncle to come forward from beginning to end, I thought his conscience had found out, but I didn't expect it to be a big preparation to be put in the back.
At that time, I was only in the second year of junior high school, and my family was under a lot of pressure because I was building a house and supporting my schooling, and sometimes I couldn't even pay the tuition fees, so I had to borrow money from a neighbor's house.
But fortunately, everything went smoothly, and after that, I was admitted to high school, and my family's house was built, but I didn't expect that during the New Year, the fourth uncle would return to their hometown for dinner at noon on the Chinese New Year's Eve.
But this year they didn't go, and on the afternoon of the first day of the new year, they called my dad again and asked for the key, and my dad was silent again, and my mom made the phone and directly stated that the key could not be given.
Because they actually kicked their noses and said that they only had an only daughter, and when she got married, there was no one to take care of the two of them, and they wanted me to help take care of them when their lives were inconvenient.
Hearing this, my mother couldn't sit still, and said directly, it's impossible, I'm an only child, and I'll take care of four old people after I get married, who can want to have two more now?
But they insisted that they had no written documents before, and sometimes they said that they only needed one key to go home and see it, and sometimes they said that they wanted to bring their things back when they were old.
My dad couldn't help it anymore when he heard this, this was the first time he quarreled with his own brother, he didn't expect that he would be calculated like this by his own brother, and this was also the first time I saw him crying as the pillar of the family.
And this scene was deeply seared in my heart, and then my mother thought about taking a step further and asked them how they could not stop asking for the key, but they said that they would send 5,000 yuan tomorrow morning.
At that time, 5,000 was still a lot, especially for someone who had just built a house, but my mother gritted her teeth and agreed.
So he borrowed 5,000 yuan that afternoon, but it snowed heavily in the middle of the night, and the snow lasted for a long time until the next morning.
My mother called my fourth uncle to ask if they could get the keys another day, but they heard that if the money couldn't be delivered, they would go and get the keys another day.
So my mother's last hope for them was also shattered, and she said directly: "Since you are so forceful, then I have to send the money over today, but the brotherhood will be gone."
After making the call, my mom walked for two hours on a snowy day to give them the money, so she went home, thinking that this was the end of the matter, but I didn't expect that there would be variables.

In the blink of an eye, I have graduated from college, and my grandfather has reached his 80th birthday, because my grandfather is old, so he did not let my grandfather know about this conflict of interests between brothers.
And the four brothers are also rare to stay together, obviously it is a very harmonious scene, but only we know that this is just a disguise.
originally thought that he would finish the meal and end this hypocritical family banquet as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that a taciturn uncle would also stand on the side of the fourth uncle.
and talked about it directly in front of my grandfather, not only saying that my mother was unreasonable, but also saying that my father didn't miss brotherhood, and even learned to cut off relations with his own brother.
And my dad was very affectionate, silent as if he had been poked in the sore spot, and I have seen this kind of ridicule many times.
It seems that tolerance for my family is the right thing, and when my mother told my father about my grandmother's illness, my uncle was just putting on an "iron rooster".
Not only did I not pull out a dime, but I also threatened that the old man took care of my father for the longest time, and I should have taken it for granted that my mother had helped her sell food before.
Now that the land is out, we will selectively ignore all the previous things when we don't need to, but stand at the top of morality and constantly criticize us.
So listening to his words taunting my father, I couldn't bear it anymore, and poured the soup that had just come out in front of me directly on his face.
And directly stood up and looked at him viciously, and said: "I treat you as an elder, I hope you can also take human eyes to see people, and don't use animal brains to speculate about others." ”
And this move was obviously beyond his expectations, and he was directly stunned in place, and then stood up in embarrassment and scolded while running out.
Anyway, for such a relative, he doesn't respect me, and I can't respect him, and this birthday banquet was also dissolved by this farce, and grandpa didn't say anything.
Later, I learned that grandpa heard a little when my father and mother were talking, and grandpa was the most considerate of them compared to grandma.
So I got up and said to my dad: "You don't have to bear it this time, you can deal with it as you want, if you really can't call the police, don't make yourself angry."
The reason why grandpa said this is because he knows my dad's character, no matter what he faces, he will only hold it in his heart, especially in family affection, and he would rather suffer himself than let his brothers suffer.
Naturally, the fourth uncle also heard this sentence from his grandfather, and after his grandfather left, he said that he didn't have to ask for the 5,000 yuan at the beginning, but just wanted to force him to ask for the key.
But no matter what, the needle was already deeply seared in my heart, so my dad just waved his hand and walked out of the room.
Until I got married, I didn't call my fourth uncle and uncle over, the only one who had a good relationship with my family was my second uncle, and he was the only one who helped my mother when building a house.
And in the matter of the old house, he stood on the position of my family, and my fourth uncle saw that the method of asking for the key was useless, so he used the bitter trick again and cried in front of my father.
said that he was forced to do so at that time, if he didn't say that, the fourth aunt would keep arguing with him at home, and he just wanted a key.
Eventually, my dad and my mom discussed it and were going to sit together one last time to talk about it, and this time it did come to fruition.
That is, he doesn't need the key now, and I, as a junior, can help when he is old and his daughter can't take care of him, and the funeral will be held in his hometown when he dies.
And after seeing us reconciled, although he was still very arrogant in his attitude, he would not talk to us so arrogantly, after all, we are no longer the people who have repeatedly tolerated us.
And this also makes me understand that not all the efforts can be exchanged for the same price in others, and it will not be calm for a while, especially in front of unreasonable people, it will only usher in more bottomless stampede.
Therefore, as long as you are the one who is reasonable, you are not afraid of other people's nonsense, even if you are close to you, your dignity is in your own hands.
Don't think about changing your life with sacrifice to think that this is to reduce the burden on the family, sensible children are always the unhappy children, which also has a lot to do with family education.
