Although I haven't read the whole book yet, I feel that it is inevitable that Wang Yifang will be homeless in old age, because most children who are doted on and over-preferred by their superiors are selfish, and children who are over-exploited will definitely give up in despair.
The tragedy in this world is to tear down the most beautiful things for you to see. The works are good and much better than those useless novels!
I have read a few chapters and it is very well written, as the title of the book is very sad. I can't stand it anymore. Life is not easy, so we need something sweet, cheerful, and comedic.
This is the only time so far that I have read a book overnight! I didn't even sleep for this book! You know, the world is so cold and human nature is so mean! Such a life is so embarrassing! I don't know if this theme is true, but it is true that a mother can support several children, but several children cannot support an old mother!
It's very realistic. There are many like this in our village. Nowadays, in many families, the old people have spent all their savings to get their sons and wives, or even are heavily in debt. They have to take care of their grandchildren and live according to the looks of their sons and wives. The reason is that he will be taken care of by his son and wife when he gets old! But in a family with a daughter, if the old man is sick and needs money and needs someone to take care of him, the son will say that men and women are equal now. The daughter is also born to the parents and raised by the parents, so the daughter should also be counted as a share! It would be unfilial for a daughter not to contribute money! But when the old man passes away, all the property and land left behind will belong to the son, and there will be no share for the daughter! It is euphemistically called, the water thrown out by the daughter who goes out to farm. This is the portrayal of most families of this generation.
It's so beautiful. This is the tragedy of patriarchal preference. It's so real. I support it.
Wang Yifang is both happy and unfortunate. Fortunately, her father-in-law Yuan Zhengsen was very kind to her. In that era, there were many people who gambled with their wives. Maybe the Yuan family didn't have the conditions at that time. Unfortunately, not good for both daughters. I feel most sorry for Yuan Read Meihe. Qinqin When Nianmei first came to this home, she was the shadow of Yuanmei, to heal Yifang. It will be easy to compare after having a biological child. I believe in myself too much about Nianmei's marriage. If I had inquired more, I wouldn't have been like this. I treat my two sons as pension insurance, but it's a pity that they are both supercilious. The deaths of Yuan Mei and Yuan Qin's children also remind us that babies are too fragile and may leave us if we are not careful. Being a mother must be done attentively. Be careful. The most wrong thing in Yifang's life is that she should not favor sons over daughters. What happened to the girl. At least he is more sensible than his elder brothers. I feel sorry for Nianmei to meet such a father-in-law. I feel sorry for Qinqin, and I will give unconditionally throughout my life. In the end, nothing was gained.
The author uses pen and ink to fully describe Wang Yifang's miserable life! It also brought to light the common ideology of favoring sons over daughters in rural areas in the 1970s and 1980s! It really describes all kinds of things in the world! Thumbs up for the author! At the same time, I also praise the author's literary talent!
Although Wang Yifang's behavior of favoring boys over girls is so infuriating, it was a common phenomenon in that era, which led to many elderly people being homeless. The story is very realistic, and I prefer this type of novel.
I was very heartbroken after reading this book. The writing is so real. This is the tragedy of rural parents in China. They also have a lot of helplessness. It is better to give birth to a child. It not only saves the mother's heart but also avoids the trouble of fighting with more children in the future. It is no different to raise a child well and take care of it wholeheartedly. As for the child, try not to drag on the child to save more money to stay in a nursing home! It's really not easy to be a human being all your life!
