I want to ruin the country

Both parents were sitting on the kang, and the eldest son was sitting on a chair with his head down and not saying a word.

The youngest son and daughter are peeling walnuts and eating them!

Lian Song felt sad. The walnuts were not ripe yet. If the child wasn't starving, would he eat them?

He sat silently on the kang, not knowing what to say. His parents were so old and still had to starve with him. No matter how shameless he was, what could he say?

When the old man saw his son coming, he said to his grandchildren,

"Go to your rooms!"

The grandchildren knew that their grandfather and father had something to say, so they walked away!

"Son, can't you open the pot?"

Lian Song was speechless. Is there any need to ask? If there is food, can we not cook?

Ahem, ahem!

The old man coughed a few times and said,

"Life has come to this point. It's no use for us to talk to you. What are your plans for the future? Will your family starve to death like this?"

His mother said,

"We'll starve to death, we should have died long ago, what will happen to our three children?"

Lian Song lowered his head and said nothing!

His father said again,

"Dad is incompetent. I built up a fortune worth hundreds of thousands of silver coins, but you ruined it all!

It's no use blaming you now. If you don't teach your child well, it's your fault. It's my fault for not wanting to spank you since you were little!"

Lian Song lowered his head deeply. His father was right. From childhood to adulthood, his parents had never said a harsh word to him, let alone being beaten!

His mother wiped her eyes and said,

"Your father said, hundreds of thousands of silver, ten taels a day, only three or four thousand a year. Our family's money is enough for you to spend for more than a hundred years, why should we care about you!"

His father said,

"When you grow up, you go to red-light districts and your father doesn't care about you!

Life is easy, isn't it just eating, drinking and women? You're old now, just calm down!"

His mother's tears finally came down,

"Who would have thought that you not only learned how to prostitute, but also learned how to gamble. Hundreds of thousands of silver coins were wasted just like that!"

His father said,

"Let's not talk about the past. After your brother-in-law got into trouble a while ago, you've become more financially stable!

Anyone can understand what's going on. You shouldn't do that. She's your own sister!"

His mother said,

"You're plotting against your own family, do you still have a conscience?"

Lian Song lowered his head lower and lowered it. What his parents said was right. He had no face to speak!

His father said,

"How can I talk to your mother? After all, your sister is married and is an outsider!

We are closer to our son. Can we go and talk to your sister?"

His mother said,

"Needless to say, even if his sister doesn't know, is it true that a nephew of that age is stupid?

His father said,

"Anyone with eyes can see where your money comes from. Don't they stab you in the back?"

His mother said,

"Your sister is still protecting you, saying that everyone should keep it a secret and not let your brother-in-law find out!

He lost a fortune worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and he's furious. If he knew you were slandering him, he would fight you to the death!"

The old man said,

"If we don't fight hard, our relatives will stop visiting us, and we'll have raised our daughter in vain!"

The old lady cried,

"It's all black, so it's black. It would be nice if you could use it in a proper way. But after a few days you lost it all again, not a penny left. What are you hoping for?"

The old man said, could it be that

"You said you just had some money, and now you've brought home a young wife!

It would be fine if you could let them live a good life, but you let them come back and starve with you!"

Lian Song wanted to slap himself a few times. What he did was really inhumane!

The old lady said,

"Your eldest son just said that he won't go to school anymore and wants to go out to earn money to support the family. What are you doing to your child?"

Lian Song raised his head.

"That won't do, he's still young!"

The old man said,

"Even if you like it, the court has decreed that until you turn eighteen, you can only study!"

Lian Song gritted his teeth and said,

"Dad, Mom, I'm going out to earn money tomorrow!"

The old lady said,

"You, what can you do?"

Lian Song said,

"The other day I saw an old friend sweeping the streets. If he can do it, I can do it too!"

The old man said,

"Twenty coins a day can buy forty steamed buns, which is enough food for our family for a day!

If I wasn’t too old and people didn’t want me to go, I would have wanted to go too! "

Lian Song blurted it out just now and hasn't really made up his mind yet.

After hearing what my father said, it turned out to be true. When it has come to this, what’s the point of saving face? Let’s put it aside and just survive first!

"Yes, yes, I can do it!"

The old lady asked,

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Really? Go sign up tomorrow and you can start working if there's a vacancy!"

Seeing that he looked determined and didn't seem to be lying, the old lady was secretly happy in her heart. Now that her son was on the right path, she had hope for the future!

The old man said,

"Just now, your mother and I were worried that you might be planning to take over this house!"

Lian Song felt ashamed in his heart that he actually had such an idea.

He said,

"How can that be possible? If we sell the house, where will the family live?"

The old lady said,

"I'm glad you know. My grandson is getting married soon. If you want to sell the house, you should take care of our funeral first!"

The old man winked at the old lady, and the old lady took out a small cloth bag from the cabinet on the kang, which contained a hairpin.

"Son, this white jade hairpin is my dowry. You can pawn it and exchange it for some food. The children can't stand being hungry all the time!"

"Mom, no need, I'll go find a job tomorrow!"

The old man said,

"We find work but they don't pay us right away. We have to wait a month. By then, our family will have starved to death!"

Lian Song thought what his parents said was right, and reached out to take the hairpin. The old lady instructed,

"Son, you can't lose to me again. This is about saving our family's lives!"

"Mom, if I gamble again, I'll chop off my hands!"

Looking at his son's back, the old man sighed.

"I hope this time I can keep my word!"

The old lady said,

"There's not even a grain of rice left. If you don't change..."

The old man said,

"What can you do if you don't change?"

The old lady was speechless.

"If you don't change, I'm going to jump into a well!"

Yes, if Lian Song really doesn’t change, what can they do?

Unexpectedly, Lian Song really changed this time. He really went to the sanitation department to sign up. After more than 20 days, there was a vacancy and he started working.

He worked honestly and earned 600 yuan a month, so at least his family didn't go hungry.

In the end, I don’t know what he said, but Yanzhi was tricked into going to work with him.

Life at home gradually improved, but Yanzhi secretly regretted it.

If I had known I would marry a poor old man, I would have become a nurse. Maybe I could have found a younger husband.

It’s a pity that there is no medicine for regret. If you take a wrong step, you can only live like this.

After a long time, Lian Song's parents were very happy to see that their son had indeed changed.

The old couple also secretly kept some caution and hid several hundred taels of silver.

Now that their son had changed, they felt relieved and took out money to arrange a marriage for their grandson!

Since then, the family has lived in peace and nothing has happened since then!

So, people are not afraid of making mistakes, as long as they can admit their mistakes and correct them, they can be saved!

It’s better to change at any time than not to change!
