A sixty-five years old, I was enjoying my old age, but now I am still doing odd jobs in a restaurant, responsible for cleaning up the table, , cleaning and washing dishes. The work in the small restaurant is dirty and tiring, and the young man is unwilling to do it, so the boss invites me. An old lady in her sixties has no skills and no education, so she can only do the work that others don’t want to do and get the lowest salary. When I was busy with business, I was so tired that my back was sore and my bones were broken. The boss asked curiously: "Grandma Liu, you are at this age and should enjoy your life at home. Why do you still have to work and suffer this? "I can only answer: There is no way. It's hard to describe in one word!
Ten years ago, my youngest son, who was less than 30, left me due to acute renal failure. The white-haired man sent a black-haired man to make me feel in pain! My wife wanted to take her four-year-old grandson away, but my wife and I firmly disagree. My wife is still young and will remarry sooner or later. My grandson loses her father at a young age. It is already very unfortunate. I don’t want him to live a life of his stepfather at such a young age. Besides, my grandson will change his surname if his wife remarries. I am not happy with this. The grandson is my family’s bloodline and the only thought my youngest son left us. Seeing that my wife and I were firm in our attitude, the youngest daughter-in-law gave up.
The eldest son and daughter-in-law do our ideological work again and again: Xiaoxuan wants his mother to take it away. The child needs maternal love. As grandparents, you cannot replace his mother. You are in your fifties and are still so young. The future support and tuition fees are not enough to be raised without hundreds of thousands of dollars. How can you two elders have this ability? We think that the eldest son and daughter-in-law are selfish and beat their own little Jiujiu, for fear that their nephew will be raised and will be dragged down. No matter how they persuade us, we insist on keeping our grandson Xiaoxuan. My eldest daughter-in-law completely turned her face to me about this matter and never cared about us ever since.
The burden of raising my grandson Xiaoxuan fell on our old couple's shoulders, so my wife stayed at home to take care of her grandson, and I went out to work and earn money when I did odd jobs. When I am old, it is difficult to find a job. No matter how hard it is, as long as the boss is willing to let me do it, I will work hard. With my diligence and hard work, I can earn 30,000 to 40,000 a year. I am not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and I am determined to save more money and raise my grandson.
But my wife couldn't stand it and fell ill and got lymphoma . The house was raining all night long, so I had to resign. I had to take care of my wife and grandson. I could hardly hold on anymore, so I called my eldest son for help. My eldest daughter-in-law said coldly: "We have to ask for trouble, and we have to go to work to take care of the children, so how can I help?" Thanks to my eldest son who came to help, I helped me through the difficulties.
My wife needs chemotherapy, and I ran back and forth between home and hospital, exhausted. Fortunately, after three courses of chemotherapy, my wife's condition gradually improved. I have no financial income for a year, and my wife spent another 50,000 or 60,000 yuan to see a doctor. I feel that the financial pressure is very high and I have to go out to work again.
The grandson is in junior high school and is becoming more and more rebellious. My wife can no longer control her. She often calls me to complain. I don’t know what to do?
Did I do something wrong at the beginning and shouldn’t have left my grandson?
