1. In order to have a second child, life is in dire
Jiang Zhe and his wife Liao Ying were both born in the 1950s in the central region of my country, a fourth-tier city of . In the 1980s, when they had a daughter, they secretly gave birth to a second child in order to want a son. Although they gave birth to a son as they wished, they were soon discovered, and the consequence was that both the couple were fired by the unit. In that era, urban people had no source of income without work, and it was difficult to find a temporary job. I have a new family, and eating has become a problem. I often borrow money and food from relatives and friends, and my life is becoming more and more difficult.
There was no way out, so the couple went to the entrance of the theater near their home and set up a street stall in a tricycle to sell some small snacks such as melon seeds, peanuts and Gan Shu. Although I have a meager income, it cannot be guaranteed. I cannot set up a stall when it rains. When the urban management department is caught, I will be chased and even confiscated all snacks and stall equipment. This will be in vain for most of the month. When life is not guaranteed, Liao Ying often goes to the vegetable market to pick up scattered vegetable leaves thrown by vendors, and picks up some fallen minced meat under the meat stall to provide children with basic nutritional protection.
2. The situation has improved, frugality is achieved, and raising children is rich. This situation has continued until the early 1990s. The country's market economy has continued to deepen and the social environment has improved greatly. In addition, many years of street stalls have accumulated some experience in doing business. The couple went to the local farmers' market to start a sales business for agricultural and sideline products. The couple got up early and went to bed late, worked hard, was enthusiastic and thoughtful to customers, and their business became better and better. They first started with retail, and later focused on wholesale, their income gradually increased, and their lives improved significantly.
Although the income has increased, the couple is very frugal with themselves, unable to bear to eat or wear. All their efforts are for the children. They have always felt guilty about their children's suffering, so when the financial situation improves, they do their best to provide the children with a better life. In addition, they are willing to invest in their children's education, allowing them to attend the best local schools, and extracurricular tutoring is also a one-on-one teaching for Gaoji teachers. The children were also successful, with good grades in elementary, junior high and high school. Later, my daughter was admitted to the English major of an ordinary undergraduate university, and my son was admitted to the 5-year Chinese medicine major in a key medical university. The achievements of the children made the couple sincerely happy, thinking that no matter how hard or tired they were, it was worth it.
3. Dedicate all the money to start a family and start a career for his son
After graduation, my daughter went to work in Guangdong and married to Guangdong. Before graduation, my son was assigned to a medical institution for an internship for one year. Unexpectedly, before the internship was over, my son went home and told his parents: I don’t want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, nor do I want to work in the major I studied, and I plan to go to Guangzhou to apply for a sales job after graduation. The couple was stunned when they heard this, and Jiang Zhe said to his son, "My parents work day and night to help you study and live a good life. You have finally gotten into such a good university and such a good major. Now you are going to graduate and do sales? Then why did you take so much effort to get into a university?" The son only replied one sentence: "I don't know if I don't like to work in this major, and I have little money. I don't know what year or month to buy a house in Guangzhou. Anyway, I have decided, don't say it anymore, it's useless." Jiang Zhe was furious when he heard this, and shouted to his son angrily: "Okay, from now on, you will die on your own, and I will never care about you again."
After graduation, his son went to Guangzhou to do sales, but he was engaged in medical sales that was a little related to the major he studied. There is no way, Jiang Zhe and his wife can only slowly accept this reality. Two years later, the son told his parents that he had found a girlfriend, which was the company's finance department, and wanted to get married, and wanted to buy a house in Guangzhou, but they didn't have that much money to pay the down payment. So the old couple Jiang Zhe gave all the money they could use at home to his son, totaling 1.2 million yuan. My son bought a two-bedroom, one-living room old house worth 2 million yuan in the center of Guangzhou and paid the down payment with the money given by his parents.
A year after the son got married, his daughter-in-law became pregnant. Before the child was born, the son called home, hoping that his mother could come to Guangzhou to take care of his daughter-in-law and future grandson.Jiang Zhe and his wife, who were in their 60s and had never been separated, had no choice but to live a life like Cowherd and Weaver Girl. Liao Ying came to his son's house and became a full-time, free nanny, while Jiang Zhe managed the business alone at home.
After the child was born, the expenses of the son's family increased. In addition to the original mortgage loan of nearly 6,000 to 7,000 yuan per month, the family's life and children's milk powder, diapers and other expenses increased a lot. Although my son’s salary is not low, he still feels under great pressure and thinks all day long that he can have some way to change the status quo.
When his grandson was two years old, Jiang Zhe received a call from his son. His son told him: I have worked hard for the past two years, and he is very sorry for the separation of his parents. His father is getting older and older, and it is time to retire and enjoy the blessing of his children. He asked his father to end his business in his hometown and live with them in Guangzhou so that the whole family could be reunited and told his father that he was going to start a business. If his father had nothing to do after he came to Guangzhou, he could help him check out the store.
Jiang Zhe thought, right, anyway, when you are old, you have to support your son. Can you live a life with your children and grandchildren? Isn’t it the happiness you are looking forward to? So Jiang Zhe ended his business in his hometown, handled goods and shops, and went to Guangzhou to live with his son and his wife.
4. Support your son to start a business and take over his son's sins
When Jiangzhe went to Guangzhou, he often took his grandson out to play and took a walk with his wife at night. He lived a very comfortable life. Later, when his son was about to start a business, he told him: A friend, after being sued for a small business dispute, all his bank accounts and real estate were frozen by the court, which made a lot of trouble. So he hoped that the legal representative of the company he opened could write his father's name. Anyway, his father's business has ended, and he will not have such a big trouble when encountering anything. At first, Jiang Zhe didn't understand and said to his son seriously: "Do business well, why do you have to make a lawsuit?" "It's not that you want to make a lawsuit yourself. You will inevitably encounter some unexpected troubles when doing business. You have also done business, so you should be able to understand it." The son explained. Jiang Zhe thought about it and agreed to his son's request.
The son told Jiang Zhe that they were planning to open a trading company, specializing in selling various famous wines. He was very familiar with this industry and had a way, so the profit would be very high, but the initial investment was a bit large, and the funds were still a little short of money now. I wonder if my father could help. As a last resort, Jiang Zhe gave all the 800,000 yuan he brought to his son after ending his business in his hometown, but he agreed that the company would pay it back to him after making money.
In this way, his son's company was officially established. Jiang Zhe occasionally went to the company's store to help check the store and ship the goods. His son didn't need him to do other things, nor did he need to let him know about it. The various famous wines they sell are cheaper than those outside, so the business is getting better. The son said that he found a direct sales channel from the manufacturer. Although it was cheaper than the outside, the profit margin was still quite large.
Two years after the company was established, my son exchanged a 6 million-dollar three-bedroom and two-living house in the center of Guangzhou, and moved the company's store to the vicinity of his home. As a result, the whole family was very happy, and Jiang Zhe had more time to help in the store. After more time in the store, he found something wrong: his son was always sneaky and sneaky when talking with some business partners. After purchasing, he found that the box was not of the same variety of wine. He thought, didn’t it mean that the manufacturer sells directly? How could this happen? Especially after someone bought two bottles of Moutai in their store, he turned around and said it was fake wine and asked for a return. The son did not have a heated argument with others, and said that if they didn't believe it, they would return the goods.
All signs made Jiang Zhe confused, so he found his son and said seriously: "Tell me clearly what the company's business is doing? I am the legal representative, don't keep me in the dark." In this case, the son had to tell him the truth.
It turns out that in order to make quick money, my son worked with others to make and sell fake wine. Others were responsible for making fake wine and he was responsible for selling it. Otherwise, the money would not be so easy to make now. Hearing this, Jiang Zhe felt a bolt from the blue and scolded his son loudly: "You bastard, you start a company and do these shameful things. The legal representative also needs to write my name and put me in too."The son promised him that he would not put him in and would take care of the matter himself, and asked his father to rest assured that they had a very thorough design and would not have any problems. "No matter what, this is an illegal crime. Do you know how serious the consequences are?" Jiang Zhe stomped his feet and cursed. The son lowered his head and said nothing.
From then on, Jiang Zhe lived every day in panic, worried about the incident, but at a loss. Until one day half a year later, Jiang Zhe was looking at the store, and his son suddenly ran back and said to him anxiously: "Their wine factory was sealed off and the people were arrested. What should we do?" "I knew there would be this day, so what should I do now. Come and ask me? Have you not thought about it before?" Jiang Zhe widened his eyes and shouted to his son. The son said, "Otherwise, let's run away." "You run? Where can you run? No more home? You don't want your parents either? What should we do if you run away?" "What should we do?" The son shed tears.
"Oh, now I have to surrender. No matter what, I am the legal representative. I arranged the company's affairs. Remember, you remember." Jiang Zhe said to his son calmly and seriously. The son said with tears in his eyes: "How can this be done? I did everything, why do you have to take care of it?" "Don't say it anymore, the family's affairs will only depend on you in the future."
5. He was in prison for his son and took the life of his wife
Before they could take further action, a large number of people in uniforms entered the store. They were members of the joint investigation team of the industrial and commercial and public security departments. A large number of fake liquors stored in the store were confiscated, and sealed seals were posted on the store door, and Jiang Zhe was also taken away.
Liao Ying cried when she learned the situation, scolding her son for being a rebellious son, blaming himself for committing evil in his previous life and wanting to repay it in this life. On the day of the court, except for the daughter-in-law and grandson, the rest of the family, including their daughter and son-in-law, were present. Although he hired a lawyer, Jiang Zhe was sentenced to three years in prison and fined 1 million yuan. Hearing this verdict, the whole family burst into tears, only Jiang Zhe was very calm. Before being taken away, he asked the whole family not to cry and told his son: pay a fine for selling the house in his hometown and take good care of the whole family. Comfort his wife: It's okay, just like the couple separated in the past two years, he was alone at home, and three years passed quickly; he asked his daughter and son-in-law to care more about his mother.
After Liao Ying returned home, she could not overcome this hurdle. She cursed her son with tears in her nose and tears: "What evil did your father and I commit in the previous life? Did the ghost touch the head? We must have given birth to you. After giving birth to you, we suffered all the tortures, we made money day and night, for you to have a good life, a good education, and to start a business for you. In the end, your father is in his 60s and wants to go to jail for you. The house at home is sold, and we will never go home again. Did you send us God to punish us?" The son could only kneel in front of his mother and cried and said, "I'm sorry, mom and dad, it's all my fault. My son knew he was wrong. He will definitely reform himself, be a new person in the future, and teach his parents a lesson."
Although relatives and friends all comforted Liao Ying and asked her to be more open-minded. Her son will work and live a down-to-earth manner in the future. Three years have passed soon. When Jiang Zhe comes back, your family can live a good life again. But Liao Ying has always been depressed and often sighed. More than a month after Jiang Zhe was sentenced, one night a few days before the Spring Festival, she remembered that she had been married to Jiang Zhe for so many years and was always with her family during the Chinese New Year. She couldn't celebrate the New Year with Jiang Zhe this year, so she was very sad. The son and daughter-in-law comforted her that after the Chinese New Year, the family could go to see her father and ask her to go to bed early. Liao Ying followed his son and daughter-in-law's consolation, washed up and went to bed.
The next morning, it was past eight o'clock and Liao Ying had not yet gotten up. Usually she got up before seven o'clock. Her son knocked on the door and wanted her mother to get up for breakfast. There was no response when he knocked on the door a few times. My son opened the door and walked to his mother's bed, trying to push her mother to get up. Unexpectedly, the mother did not respond. She touched her face with a cold hand. The son exclaimed: "Mom, mom, what's wrong with you?" After
called 120 and sent to the hospital, the doctor said after seeing it, he had no vital signs and rescue was meaningless, but he still carried out necessary rescue according to the requirements of the family, but he was unable to make up for it.Seeing that there were signs of hand scratching on the chest, the doctor believed that it might be caused by a sudden heart disease. After hearing that his mother had indeed passed away, his son fell to the ground and was heartbroken and kept beating his head and chest, crying and shouting, "It's all caused by me. Mom, please wake up and go back with me. I beg you, my son was wrong." He cried heartbrokenly, but he could no longer call his mother back.
Seeing this, do we think God is really cruel to Jiang Zhe and Liao Ying? Is it wrong for them to love their son? Is it wrong for them to give everything for their son? Isn’t most Chinese parents like this? In addition to wanting them to accept labor disasters for their son's fault, they can also save their lives?
As a son, do you think of family and parents when you make the wrong choice?
