The second son didn’t say he wouldn’t take care of the child, he just said his ability was limited, but what he meant was that he couldn’t take care of the child.

Let’s not talk about the two daughters. After all, we can’t send an old lady in her nineties who can’t move around to her daughters’ home to live out her retirement while the two sons are still around.

The two daughters thought it was nothing, as there were no elderly people there. But the two sons-in-law raised a question: the old lady was over 90 years old, and her health was still the same. She was only counting the days, so what if she died in their home?

All in all, the responsibility of caring for the elderly can only be placed on Li Baogui, who is young and has little pressure.

But Li Baogui had no objection, while Zhang Lan's third aunt was furious. It was fine if the eldest brother would take care of the elderly, but it was also understandable that the eldest brother's wife could not take care of him because of chronic illness after the eldest brother passed away.

But why has everything fallen on our family now? When the old lady was still able to work and contribute, why didn't she ask our family to take care of her in her old age? Now that she can't move, she thinks of our family.

The result was that even a huge quarrel could not stop Li Baogui from taking the child home to take care of him, because the reality was that among his children, he was the only one who was capable, responsible, and willing to take responsibility.

Third Aunt Zhang Lan had a big quarrel at the beginning, but later she fell silent. Anyway, at the beginning, it was you, Li Baogui, who took care of the children. I just cooked, and the other two daughters came to wash and clean, so we were able to get by.

But as time goes by, taking care of a disabled elderly person, especially an elderly disabled elderly person, has never been an easy task.

It's even worse than taking care of a vegetative person. You only need to take care of her eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping. But she can still talk, and will yell when she remembers something, and will ask for this and that, which is troublesome.

Li Baogui's mother is like this. If it was just simple support, it would be fine. The support that children can provide is nothing more than giving the elderly good food and drink, and enough food and clothing.

But some elderly people want more than just food and clothing. They also want to be your home and your master. They even want to use their limited knowledge to command and supervise you. If you don't obey, you will be labeled as unfilial.

What these elderly people want is not support, but gratitude. Since it is gratitude, it cannot be just good food and drink, but emotional value must also be in place.

Li Baogui took care of her wholeheartedly, but before everything was done, the two daughters came to complain, saying that Li Baogui did not take good care of her and that Third Aunt Zhang Lan ignored them.

Logically speaking, for an old lady in her nineties, it would be enough for her to have someone to take care of her food and drink, but that doesn't work.

Providing care for the elderly is not difficult in itself, it is nothing more than providing them with food and drink and seeing a doctor when they are sick, but these little things in between can be exhausting.

For example, when the meal is delivered, it must be warm and not too hot, because when she is hungry, she needs to eat something that can be put into her mouth immediately.

She went to the hospital and made a scene, saying that she wanted her to die in the hospital, not at home. It's okay to make a scene like this for one or two years, but if it lasts for three, five, ten or eight years, it will kill her.

Supporting the elderly is a job that depends on luck. Anyone who starts talking about moral principles, such as "Is it easy for parents to raise children?" is either a young and stupid child, or a vicious person who does not support his parents and loves to blame others.

This matter depends on luck.

The best ones are healthy, clear-headed, and get a high-ranking retirement package. Living one day is equivalent to earning hundreds of dollars for their children, and all medical expenses are reimbursed. Don't mention it, it's not difficult to support 100 such elderly people.

First-class people are healthy and clear-headed. As long as their children are normal people, they can be well taken care of.

The second class are those who are of clear mind, have minor illnesses, or die soon after death (within a year). Similarly, as long as their children are normal people, they can provide for them well.

The third category, those who are mentally clear but physically weak, bedridden for a long time, and unable to take care of themselves, need their children to make some efforts. However, if the economic conditions are still supportive, with the help of caregivers and nannies, many children can still take good care of them.

The worst case scenario is when a person is mentally unclear and in poor health, coupled with filial children, it is a living hell on earth.

Some people say that cleaning up the excrement and urine of the elderly is painful, and what is even more painful is that the elderly deliberately smear their excrement and urine everywhere, sleep during the day, and keep calling for help at night. Children who really can't bear it send the elderly to a nursing home as a respite. They must take care of the elderly themselves, and it is hard to say who will go first, the children or the elderly.

How many loving parents, when they are old and mentally ill, torture their children. The incidence of Alzheimer's disease in people over 80 years old is almost 80%-90%. This terrible torture will really make children exhausted physically and mentally.

Li Ming made it very clear to Zhang Hu on the phone that he knew his father had a hard time and his mother was right to be angry. But that was the situation at home, and his grandmother was in this state now, so someone had to take care of her.

His aunt and second uncle have always given money, and his two aunts often go to their house to help take care of him every now and then, but everyone has a family, and there are times when they cannot take care of things.

The reason why Zhang Hu was sent over was to persuade Third Aunt Zhang Lan not to argue with the old lady. Everyone knew that she had a hard time and would not take the old lady's words seriously.

Now Li Baogui is alone taking care of the elderly and the more than ten acres of land at home and is already very tired. He hopes that Third Aunt Zhang Lan can understand.

"Then let us go over and ask us to stop the quarrel between Third Aunt and Third Uncle?" Zhang Lan said after thinking for a while.

"That's about it. I guess that's what it means." Zhang Hu replied.

Zhang Lan laughed: "Do you think you can believe this? Just because we don't quarrel, we let our family members go over."

"But the other families didn't say anything. We can't bring it up on our own initiative," Zhang Hu said.

"That's true. Regardless of whether this is the reason or not, this is our purpose for going there. If they find it troublesome when we get there, you can ask to let our third aunt come back and live for a while. There is room for her at home." Zhang Lan said after thinking for a while.

Zhang Lan could understand Li Baogui's difficulties, his desire to be a filial son, and the difficulties of the old lady's other children.

However, they are the third aunt's maternal family. No matter how difficult it is for the Li family to support the elderly, it has nothing to do with Zhang Lan and the others.

If Third Aunt is willing and has no objection to supporting the elderly, Zhang Lan will definitely not say anything.

But now, Zhang Lan's third aunt is unwilling to let the family live in chaos because of this reputation of filial piety. As the third aunt's family, Zhang Lan will definitely have something to say after she goes there.

Supporting the elderly is a must, but shouldn't there be a specific definition? You can't be a filial son for taking care of your mother, but your daughter-in-law is an unfilial daughter-in-law for asking for fairness.

What's the point of being considerate or not? It's just that Li Baogui feels that he can't take care of the children alone and needs the help of Zhang Lan, the third aunt.
