The experience of being cheated by relatives

? This is the story I heard from my mother about my great-grandfather.

? My great-grandfather had a rich family when he was a child. Although he is not rich, he has no worries about food and clothing. He is a small local landlord. However, when Grandpa was very young, his parents died early. That year, my grandfather was only 10 years old, and his parents were gone, but he was left with real estate and fields.

? On the Spring Festival that year, grandpa went to pay a New Year call to his uncle. Grandfather's cousins were there that day. At lunch, several cousins made a bet with him at the dinner table and finally made a written evidence. As for why I made that bet, grandpa himself couldn't say clearly. Someone else should have provoked or run away. Anyway, the final result was that grandpa lost 30 barrels of paddy fields (about 10 mu per barrel) and his house.

Grandpa ate 300 acres of paddy fields and houses at home in one meal. Grandpa didn't even keep the family business left by his ancestors for a year. From then on, my grandfather fell from the sky to the ground and into the dust. Grandpa moved from a magnificent house to a dilapidated thatched shed, and the young master of the past scenery became a poor man who was hidden by everyone. Suffered from the cold eyes and ridicule of the world.

When I was poorest, there wasn't even a small bench at home. I had to sit on an adobe bench, and the tables were covered with yellow mud. Whenever it rains, there is heavy rain outside the year and light rain inside the house. It's really here. The wind is sweeping the floor and the moon is shining.

Fortunately, grandpa was engaged to marry early at an early age. The woman's family is very loyal and did not break off their marriage because of the decline of their family. Grandmother's father still married his daughter to his grandfather. Otherwise, it is estimated that grandpa may not even get a wife. However, the sequela of the decline of family wealth finally affected the happiness of my aunt's life and affected several generations. )

Then my great-grandmother gave birth to my grandfather. Great-grandfather tried his best to support his grandfather and tasted the ups and downs of the years. Of course, this is another story.

? Good relatives are very important, and there are many relatives to watch out for. For those relatives who always lie to you, it's better to keep an eye on them.
