After I was completely disappointed with my son and daughter-in-law, I secretly saved 1 million to fly away and start a leisurely life!
01
The atmosphere during this meal was extremely strange.
"Mom, now that Lingling is older and needs a room by herself, you'd better clean up the utility room and move in!" Daughter-in-law Wen Qianqian's face turned dark and long.
This is the second time my daughter-in-law told me to move rooms. At first I thought I was washing her white clothes with other clothes, and she got angry.
But I spent my own money to buy her a new set of clothes, but she still refused to let me live separately from my granddaughter.
From the day my granddaughter was born, I slept with her in my arms. I never found it annoying to get up in the middle of the night to give her milk powder and change diapers. She continued to take care of her until she entered elementary school.
Because I feel that when I am close to my granddaughter, it is said that it is true that and are close to each other, and my granddaughter also particularly likes to be with me, especially when I tell her stories before going to bed at night.
My granddaughter doesn’t want me to sleep in separate beds with her. She is actually only in the third grade of elementary school, so it won’t be too late to sleep in separate beds in two years.
But my daughter-in-law insists that my granddaughter is getting older and she wants her to learn to be independent, so she insists that I live separately from her.
I looked into the eyes of my daughter-in-law Wen Qianqian almost flatteringly, and said with a smile, "I want to tell stories to our little Lingling for a few more days. Little Lingling, do you like grandma telling stories?"
"Yes!" the granddaughter blurted out.
"What do you know as a kid? Don't interrupt when adults are talking." The daughter-in-law gave a harsh lesson to the granddaughter who told the truth.
I looked at my granddaughter who was so frightened that she lowered her head and said nothing, and felt sad. What could she do wrong with such a young child?
I was treated like this by an adult just because I said the truth, but I dare not say anything about my daughter-in-law.
After all, this is her home. Although my wife and I paid the down payment for the house, she doesn't feel grateful at all.
feels that this is a matter of course.

"Mom, just move here. Although the house is smaller, it will be warm in winter, and the few wooden boxes inside can be used as beds when put together." His son Li Wenjun also spoke.
My heart almost went cold when he spoke.
My daughter-in-law asked me to move, but my own son also married his daughter-in-law and forgot about his mother.
Actually, I am not stupid. It can be seen that now that the children are taken care of by them, there is no need for me as an old woman. I am already 60 years old.
The young couple had an awkward life at home. They never dared to make intimate gestures in front of me during the day, and they did not even dare to make out loudly at night.
They are looking for excuses to force me to leave.
If you really just want me to change rooms and let my granddaughter sleep alone, why should I live in a utility room in a house with three bedrooms and one living room?
The other room is a guest room specially reserved by the daughter-in-law, so that her relatives can come and stay. She would rather leave it empty than let me stay there.
What are you trying to do instead of driving me away?
If I don’t leave, I’ll be shameless. Everyone has made it so obvious, and I’m still here pretending not to understand.
When the time comes to drive you away, everyone will be disgraced.
I have lived here for eight years. After my wife left, my son and daughter-in-law begged me to come and live there.
said that I lived alone and was lonely, and that I liked my granddaughter so much and living with them could help me develop a relationship with her. Their child was still young at that time.
When my daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby, I went home to live with her after the confinement period.
Now that I think about it, they needed a nanny to help them take care of their children, cook, and do laundry, and I was their perfect nanny.
03
took care of their children, washed clothes, and cooked for them for free. Most of the private money I saved was used to buy food, clothes and toys for my granddaughter.
And I naively thought that my efforts were worth it, but could I actually enjoy the blessing of a granddaughter? cannot!
I am 60 years old. When my granddaughter grows up and makes money, I will probably go to sleep underground. Taking care of my granddaughter is purely for my son and daughter-in-law.
I devote myself to them and hope they can take care of me when I am old.
But now that I am not too old to walk, they start to dislike me for not paying attention to hygiene. I have a strange smell and want to drive me away.
If the time comes when I am so old that I can’t move in bed and need someone to help me change clothes, take a bath, and serve meals, how miserable will the scene be.
If you can’t even count on your own son and daughter-in-law, how can you count on your grandchildren who are still children?
I have completely figured it out. No matter how much you give, others will not care about you. When you are not needed, taking the initiative to give will only lead to boredom.
I just have to separate from my son who I have raised for more than thirty years and my granddaughter who I personally raised, which is a bit sentimental emotionally.
"You don't have to ask me to move into the utility room. I've been having trouble sleeping recently, so I want to go back to the house your dad left, live alone for a few days, and rest for a few days."
"That's fine, Mom, we have no intention of letting you move out, but now that the child is older and needs a separate space, you are always welcome to come back."
The daughter-in-law probably didn't believe what she said when she said it, but at least it saved everyone's face.

After dinner, I walked out of my son's house alone. When I went downstairs, I felt very heavy. I almost moved step by step to the supermarket at the south gate of the community.
I bought them the last vegetable steamed buns and a big bag of eggs, and put them in the kitchen while they were not at home.
then packed up and left, returning to another city.
There is a house that my wife and I bought after working hard all our lives.
Originally, we planned to inherit this house to our son after his death, but now I have changed my mind. I don’t live here anymore. I want to sell it and get money for myself.
Because there are too many memories and shadows of my wife here, it is really sad to live there, and I have to start over in a different place.
Now my son and daughter-in-law are completely independent and can live a good life. Both of them have jobs.
On the contrary, I became a helpless person.
If I take the money from selling my house for retirement, I can still find a nanny or a caregiver. If I give all the money to my son and daughter-in-law, I will probably have to suffer from the northwest wind when I get old.
Their attitude has been very clear. Even if you give them all your property, they will still take it for granted and will not be nice to you out of gratitude.
So, I chose to sell the house.
Because the house is in a good location, it has now become a hot commodity. A buyer willing to pay a high price was quickly found, and the full price was sold for 950,000 yuan.
I didn’t disclose the sale of the house to my son and daughter-in-law at all. They already thought that the house would belong to them sooner or later.
If he knew that I wanted to sell my house, he would definitely do everything possible to stop it.
05
With the money, he originally planned to go back to his hometown in the countryside to build a small one-story bungalow, but after thinking about it later, he decided not to do it and simply sold the house in his hometown.
Nothing was left for his son, not even a house.
This gives me another 50,000 yuan. I now have 1 million. With so much cash, I suddenly feel safe, an unprecedented sense of security.
With the money, I went to Hainan. Hainan is warm all year round and is very suitable for old people like us who are in poor health.
Northern Many elderly people cannot bear the winter, especially those with underlying diseases, and often do not survive the next spring.
That’s why I choose Hainan.
I did not buy a house in Hainan, but chose to live in an apartment specially rented out. There are many such apartments in Hainan, and they provide three meals a day and have people cleaning them.
In this way, my 1 million will still earn more than 2,000 yuan in interest every month. Plus my monthly pension, it will be enough for me to live here until the end of my life.
Moreover, I live a very chic and prosperous life. I just take a taxi where I want to go and buy whatever I want to eat without looking at the price.
Think about those old people who are as old as me and still pick up and drop off their children. They are busy in the wind and rain every day, but they still feel thankless.
I feel like I made the right choice.
Life is only a few decades, why bother to focus on raising children to protect yourself in old age? If children are filial, they can enjoy family happiness; if they are not filial, a person can still live his or her own life.
