In this world where there are no eldest daughters, no eldest daughter dropped out of school to help them, and the youngest daughter is too young to help them, so they borrowed money from relatives and friends and private loans (borrowing from relatives and friends alone was not enough, so they had to borrow from private loans) They borrowed some money there, but there was nothing they could do. Their income was not high and they couldn't get a loan from a bank. Otherwise, they could borrow money from a bank (at least the interest would be cheaper), so Zhou's father could only make money to repay the debt.
Zhou's father can't make much money on his own, and Zhou's mother and Zhou Ying's expenses are not small. After a year, they can't save much money at all. As a result, the money borrowed by relatives, friends and private parties cannot be repaid for a while.
Although the debt from relatives and friends does not count as interest, the debt cannot be owed for too long, otherwise the two families will have conflicts because they have not repaid the money for a long time; private loans will not rush him, but time Over time, the interest rate will be too high and the interest will compound, making it impossible to pay it back.
As a result, the Zhou family's life was very poor because they had to save money to pay back the money.
It’s just that the money Zhou’s father earned was limited. Even if he saved money, he couldn’t pay it back for a while. It was far from the world he was in. He paid it back so quickly. It wasn’t until Zhou Ying graduated from college that he still had to pay it back. Because after Zhou Ying entered high school, her expenses increased day by day. Zhou's father earned even less money and had to pay back even less. He could barely pay back the interest on private loans, and he couldn't even repay the principal.
So after Zhou Ying graduated from college, Zhou's father had extra money to pay off his debts.
But at this time, Zhou’s father asked Zhou Ying to help him pay it back. Zhou Ying was not as honest as the original person. After all, she was a refined and self-interested person, so Linlang also reflected this in her dream, so Zhou Ying Ying will not help Zhou's father pay off his debt.
Father Zhou, who could only repay his debts by himself, finally managed to repay all the money from his relatives and friends, and also continued to repay private loans. He had to repay this money for many years, and when all was repaid, After the debt, he was already sixty years old and could not find a job. He could only go home and find some street sweeping work, and the money he earned was only enough to cover family expenses.
So in the world without the original body, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother have been living a very hard life, and they are a failed family in the eyes of others. In front of others, they are not like they are now. On the contrary, because we have to pay back Not only did no one look down on them, but their relatives and friends almost all fell out with them. Who asked them to borrow money and never repaid it? Who wouldn’t hate this? After all, no one’s money comes from nothing. Let others borrow it for many years and still be happy.
Although their youngest daughter Zhou Ying has lived a good life, she is selfish and will not be very kind to them. It is good to be able to give them a little legal alimony, but more will not be enough. .
So the two of them lived like this, living a much more miserable life than in the world with their original bodies, and finally passed away. It can be said that they had suffered a lifetime.
When they woke up the next day, they couldn't help but fall silent thinking about what happened in their dream. After that, they didn't scold Linlang for being unfilial and that he shouldn't have given birth to her.
Obviously, before they scolded her like this, they had never thought about the role of the original body in the family. Now Linlang woke up, and they realized that they had underestimated the role of the original body in them.
They also did not expect that in a world without their original bodies, they would live such a miserable life.
So why did I have the nerve to say it later? I shouldn’t have given birth to my original body back then.
However, they thought it was all a dream, so they didn't completely believe it - mainly because the couple never mentioned it, so they didn't know that both of them had had such a dream, otherwise they might have believed the things in the dream. After all, how could they believe it? There was such a coincidence that the two of them had the same dream. Now, they just felt that they said every day that they should not give birth to Zhou Linlang, so they thought about it every day and dreamed about it at night.
Although they felt that what was said in the dream was quite right. If Zhou Linlang did not help them pay off their debts, they might have lived a miserable life, but they did not completely believe it - they did not feel that what was said in the dream was that after Zhou Ying graduated, , will live their own small life, will not care about them, and feel that if it is a dream world, Zhou Ying will definitely have a good job after graduation, earn a lot of money, and soon pay off the family's debts, and then their family will The scenery will not be like what I said in my dream.
So although I stopped scolding Linlang every day for being unfilial and shouldn't have had Linlang, I didn't reflect on it and contacted Linlang to prepare to repair the relationship with Linlang. Obviously, people like them would not give up until they reach the Yellow River, but by that time, when they know that their younger daughter is unreliable and they want to rely on Linlang, they will find that they have completely offended their eldest daughter and she is unreliable.
Linlang saw that they were very confident and felt that with Zhou Ying’s character, she would help them pay off their debts after graduation. It didn’t matter if she didn’t believe her reminder in the dream. Anyway, their debts in this world were , although she was repaid by the original person, but after graduation, Zhou Ying will only live her exquisite life and will not care about their life or death. Then they will know what kind of person Zhou Ying is.
This has been confirmed in the original world.
In the original world, Zhou Ying later graduated, got married soon, gave birth to a child, and just took care of his own small family. For Zhou’s father and mother, they only came to visit occasionally, and they were not yet young. Come back every year to see her, because she is married out of town and has no time to come back every year, and she won't give her any money.
On the contrary, the original person has been taking care of Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, who are getting older. She often buys things for Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, pays the electricity bill, etc.
Logically, since the original person was so kind to Zhou’s father and mother, Zhou’s father and Zhou’s mother should be kind to the original person, but that’s not the case.
Because Zhou Ying is doing better than the original person, and Zhou's father and Zhou's mother say that going out will give him face, so the original person obviously takes more care of Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, but Zhou's father and Zhou's mother like Zhou Ying more. It was Zhou Ying who was praised.
The original person was stupid at first and never noticed the difference between her parents and Zhou Ying. Until she discovered that she took care of her parents and Zhou Ying, but Zhou Ying lived a good life after graduation and never took care of her. , her parents didn't praise her, and she discovered that she was the only fool in the family, and her care for others was unilateral, and they would not take care of her.
People often say - whether online or offline - that we are all a family, and a family must take care of the other family. How can we care about so much? This is what she did.
But later she realized that there was something wrong with this sentence. Taking care of each other is mutual. If only one party pays, it is called being sucked.
Let people not care about so many people. Most of them are people with interests and blood-sucking people. They get the benefits without having to pay, so they naturally support this point of view.
If they were asked to just give without giving anything in return, they would still say, don’t care so much.
It's like when Zhou's father was sick and only the original person took care of her. The original person said why Zhou Ying didn't come. Zhou's father immediately scolded her and said, if you like to take care of her, take care of her, if you don't, you will be taken care of. Why do you care so much.
Look, if the original person puts forward something that others should do, in Zhou’s father’s mouth, it can become the original person’s concern.
If Zhou Ying doesn’t care so much, then just do it.
