Talk about eating steamed bread and pickles when you are old.

People in China have a good habit of thrift, especially the elderly in rural areas, who live very frugally.

Although thrift is a good virtue, if you are obviously rich, but you are not willing to eat, wear, or even spend money to see a doctor, you will feel so sad!

Just like there is a saying in Xiao Shenyang's essay "Not Bad Money": People are gone, but money is still there.

After the death of an old man in Jiangxi, the village Committee took care of her affairs because there were no relatives at home. In her plastic bag, she found 970 thousand cash, many of which were one, two or even ten cents. It took the bank staff three hours to count.

This obviously very thrifty old lady has such a huge deposit. What the hell is going on?

0 1 Wang Tiancai's unhappy life

This old man named Wang Tiancai is a lonely old man in Dawang Village, Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province. In 1930s, she was born in a poor family. Because my family was poor and didn't go to school at that time, I got married early as an adult.

Originally, she had a happy life and family, her husband was doing business, and her life was not bad. After two people got married, they gave birth to a pair of daughters, who were smart and beautiful. Such a family envies the villagers.

However, there are unexpected events in the sky, and people are doomed. Shortly after her birth, the youngest daughter became seriously ill. Because of the poor medical conditions at that time, she failed to cure the disease and died at an early age.

After the death of the youngest daughter, the eldest daughter died soon after her illness.

After losing two beloved daughters in a row, her husband's grief is hard to resolve and his mood is low. Unexpectedly, he was ill, and Wang Tiancai took care of him day and night, hoping that he would get better soon.

Who knows, the husband didn't carry it at last, but left her.

A happy family, so only Wang Tiancai is left.

Life goes on, and since then, Wang Tiancai has lived a frugal life.

Aunt Wang, who is usually frugal, left a legacy of 970,000.

After the death of his relatives, Wang Tiancai became reticent and didn't like to communicate with villagers. He usually lives alone and lives in seclusion.

It may also be because the pain of losing her loved ones makes her feel that life is no longer happy, so she hardly smiles. Even the people in the village said, "She can't laugh and keeps a straight face."

Because of this, except for people from the village Committee who often come to see her, other villagers rarely associate with her. She usually lives frugally, eats pickles and hardly buys food. Good people in the village see her as so frugal, and sometimes she sends her some vegetables when she can't finish eating.

She hasn't changed clothes for years, and even when she is sick, she carries it on her own. If it really doesn't work, she will treat herself in the way of rural aborigines.

When I am old, my legs and feet are inconvenient to walk, so I have to crawl when I go out. The good-hearted people in the village couldn't stand it anymore, so they had to come and help her.

Everyone thinks that she has no children and no husband, so she is poor. She scrimps and saves all day, so she must be too poor to save money.

Who knew that 99-year-old Wang Tiancai died suddenly because of cerebral hemorrhage? When the villagers found out, they told the village Committee that they had put several sacks under her bed when they were taking care of her affairs. The villagers opened it and found that the sacks were full of money, including 100, 50, or even a dime.

The villagers were puzzled: she was obviously poor and didn't even want to see her illness. Where did she get so much money?

039,700 was left by her husband.

To find out what happened, the villagers called the police to see if the money came from the wrong source.

The police came to investigate and informed the bank staff to count the cash. As a result, it took more than three hours to order, totaling 970,000 yuan.

After investigation, the police found that the money was left to her by her husband when he was doing business. She has been reluctant to spend it until now, except for some money saved by the old man who usually sells second-hand goods.

The village chief was very surprised when he learned about this. He sighed and said, "Aunt Wang, why are you so entangled?" ? Money is something you can't take with you alive or dead. You have been frugal all your life, eating pickles all day, and you don't want to take a look when you are sick. Now that you're gone, you haven't spent a penny. Is it worth living like this all your life? "

Aunt Wang made a fortune in her life, leaving a legacy of 970 thousand, but no children inherited the money.

Thrift is a traditional virtue in our country, but it is not good to be too frugal. If you pretend to be rich but don't want to eat or spend, aren't you a miser?

Moderate frugality is the premise of living a good life and good moral character, but don't overdo everything. When you have money, you really have to eat and drink. Even if you help others, you have done a good deed and promoted social virtues.

Aunt Wang Can obviously lives a good life and takes good care of the elderly, but she doesn't want to spend money. 970 thousand can live a happy old age, and she will not be so poor because she is not willing to spend money.
