Shakespeare wrote in his " King Lear ": ignorant children can extinguish people's hearts more than the sharp teeth of poisonous snakes.
No matter what kind of parents they are, after giving birth to children, they always try every means to plan for their children, contribute money and efforts, and even spend their entire lives savings.
However, can parents' selfless efforts be exchanged for their children's selfless rewards? I don’t think so. The more children who rely on their parents, the less they know how to respect and respect the elderly. Because they are used to living a life of their success.

Aunt Chen is nearly 60 years old and her husband has a monthly pension of 4,000 yuan. However, when they were hospitalized in their later years, their son was unwilling to pay for the 2,000 yuan medical expenses.
Aunt Chen and her husband are from poor families. They have been living frugal all their lives and have worked diligently to raise their only son. Fortunately, my son is successful and has a promising career. Not only did he get into a university in another place, but he also stayed in a local big city to work and get married and have children.
's son's success made Aunt Chen very happy. When the son was about to marry the only daughter in the city, he said that the woman asked to buy a house in the city, but they were still missing 200,000 yuan, hoping that their parents could support her. Aunt Chen and her husband didn't think about it for too long, so they took out 300,000 yuan. The extra 100,000 yuan was used to decorate the wedding house for their son.
The son got 300,000 yuan, and he was really happy. Even the daughter-in-law who always looked down on them was also smiling. His parents were short of their parents, and I don’t know how intimate they were. During the wedding, I returned the car and took the old couple around the big city.

But the scenery of Aunt Chen and her wife is limited to the son's wedding. After the wedding, my son and daughter-in-law never came back for a long time. Every time I come back, my son will ask for money. Either the mortgage is under great pressure or the daughter-in-law is pregnant and not going to work, and she is in a tight position.
Aunt Chen couldn't bear to let her son suffer, so she secretly stuffed a lot of money to her son. Not long after, the son suggested that the daughter-in-law was pregnant and it was necessary to have a car at home. So, the son asked for 100,000 again.
When my son got married, Aunt Chen, who had already lost her family's fortune, finally saved a little money and was missed by her son again. Aunt Chen was reluctant to let her son be disappointed, so she took out the 30,000 yuan she had saved and borrowed 70,000 yuan from relatives and friends with shamelessness, and then sent her son and daughter-in-law away.
As I wished, my son and daughter-in-law got 100,000 yuan. She didn't stay for long, and said hello and left again. No one offered to pick up Aunt Chen and the old couple to the city to enjoy the happiness.

Time passed year after year. In order to pay off the debt as soon as possible, the old couple always save money and are reluctant to spend money to give themselves better food. In addition, as I got older and worked hard for many years, I also had various minor problems in my body, either this or that. In the end, I fell to the hospital with exhaustion.
As Aunt Chen fell ill, his wife became very anxious, and he quickly called his son. At the beginning, my son said that he was busy with work and tight projects, so he couldn't get back, so he asked his wife to deal with it himself first. My wife said carefully, "You are not available, why don't you let your daughter-in-law come back to help take care of you for two days?"
As a result, the daughter-in-law who was listening to the audience refused and said that she was very busy and had to take care of her children and take care of her parents. She asked the old couple to deal with it themselves, or they would spend money to hire a nanny. Anyway, the old couple had a pension.
My wife heard the implicit meaning of her son and daughter-in-law and stopped insisting. But when I paid the medical expenses later, my wife was still stumped because she spent 10,000 yuan on her medical expenses, but the old couple had only 8,000 yuan, which was still 2,000 yuan away.

My wife had no choice but to call her son again to ask for money, but when the son heard about it, he frowned and said, "I don't have money, don't you have a pension?" It’s the same for this money to spend early and late, so let’s talk about your pension first.
Finally, my wife failed to ask for 2,000 yuan. After hearing this, my old friend who came to visit Aunt Chen took out 2,000 yuan without hesitation, which solved their urgent needs. The old couple was discharged from the hospital with full of sadness. Since then, no matter how much their son asked for money for various reasons, the old couple refused.
They finally figured it out that instead of raising children to prevent their old age, it is better to raise children to prevent their old age and save money to support themselves. It’s not that my son can’t count on him, but that he has become accustomed to leveraging his parents and has no longer felt grateful.
We often say that people are unfilial to their parents and are undoubtedly from animals. Ciwu is still feeding back, but the lamb is still kneeling down. Ciwu still feeds her mother in turn. In order to repay her parents' raising grace, the lamb also knew to kneel down and feed her parents with milk. If a person does not know how to respect his parents and repay his kindness, then what is the difference between him and an animal?
