In this world, the entanglement between family and money often makes people feel conflicted. It's a story of family, responsibility, and understanding, set in the lonely old age of an elderly man, but with deep human boundaries and emotional fluctuations.
Lao Li is a 75-year-old man who has been hardworking and kind all his life, and has put all his thoughts on the care and love of his family. Many years ago, in order to create a better future for his son, he did not hesitate to give him everything he had and gave him three houses as a bride price for his marriage. He thought that in this way, his son's life would be happier and the family would be more harmonious. However, the reality made him feel endless disappointment and helplessness.
Now, Lao Li is old and his body is gradually weakening, and he no longer needs so many houses, so he decided to go to his daughter's house to care for the elderly. However, when he came to his daughter's house, he was struck by an unexpected request - his daughter asked him to give him 5,000 yuan a month for living expenses.
Lao Li was shocked for a while, he couldn't understand why his daughter was so indifferent to him, could it be that his years of dedication and love were in exchange for such treatment? He couldn't accept such a reality, and his heart was full of anger and sadness. However, in the face of his daughter's insistence, he could only choose to remain silent and choose to endure.
As the days passed, Lao Li was not happy at his daughter's house, and he felt lonely and helpless. He began to doubt his life, began to regret his choice, and he felt like an abandoned leaf, adrift in boundless loneliness. However, he still chose to be strong and patient, because he felt that he was a father and he could not let his daughter see his weakness and pain.
However, just when Lao Li's patience was at the limit, his daughter suddenly realized her mistake. She understood her father's dedication and love over the years, and understood her own selfishness and indifference. So, she decided to apologize to her father and promised to care more about and take care of him in the future. And Lao Li also chose to forgive his daughter, because he knew that family affection cannot be measured by money, and only mutual understanding and tolerance can truly achieve happiness.
This story teaches us that family affection is priceless, and money is just a façade. When facing family members, we should learn to understand and tolerate, make up for all regrets with love, and make the family full of warmth and harmony.
