If you don’t listen to the old man, you will suffer the consequences.

As the saying goes, if you don’t listen to the advice of the elderly, you will suffer the consequences. I believe many people have heard this old saying from their parents. Especially when I was young, when my parents persuaded me to be stubborn, they always added such a philosophical sentence at the end.

I used to be arrogant and refused to listen. Now that I am middle-aged, looking back on the past years, I am surprised to find that every time I don’t listen to my parents’ advice, I will suffer losses now and in the future. .

Just like there is a saying on the Internet: Young people can’t understand Li Zongsheng, but if they do, they are like the man in the song. Sometimes I have to admire my parents’ foresight and countless people’s experiences.

A sister Li I know had a boyfriend when she was young. Apart from being a bit handsome in appearance, this boyfriend had no strengths and often got into fights outside.

My parents were also worried about Sister Li and tried every means to stop this relationship. In the end, they all went to the point of severing the parent-child relationship. During that time, Sister Li also dragged me home all day long and drank me into mud.

In the end, Sister Li couldn't bear to turn against her parents and reluctantly gave up the relationship. It didn't take long for her parents to introduce a partner to Sister Li, but they couldn't resist their parents' urging and coercion, and they met.

Unexpectedly, the other party fell in love with Sister Li at first sight. With the help of the family, they finally got married two years later, and I became the bridesmaid at that time.

From the time she met her husband to now, Sister Li has never touched Yang Chun Shui, cooked a meal, or washed clothes for more than 20 years. No matter how busy or tired you are, as long as the two of you are together, your husband will always be busy.

Even now, her husband is already a moderate official, but he still loves Sister Li very much. He takes Sister Li out to travel, eat, shop, get massages, sing karaoke, and enjoy life when he has some spare time in his busy schedule. .

Don’t go out to socialize unless necessary. If you have to go out, Sister Li will be waiting at the door of the hotel. Her husband will definitely come out in about an hour, and the two of them will go home together. The daily details of the two people often make us married middle-aged women envious.

If Sister Li had acted willfully and fought to the death with her ex-boyfriend, her life would have been really miserable for the rest of her life. After the breakup, I heard that my ex-boyfriend was later caught taking drugs and selling drugs. He was sentenced to more than 20 years in prison. He was just released at the beginning of this year. He is already over 50 years old. He has no career, no family, no children, and his life is ruined.

Sister Li’s happy life today is thanks to her parents’ desperate efforts to obstruct her. Every time Sister Li thinks about it, she is extremely grateful to her parents for their foresight.

I still remember a former colleague, Xiaoting, who was a distant relative of my boss. She was not yet 18 when she came to work, but she left her job after just over two shifts. Later I heard that she was pregnant. She ran away from home because her life was at stake at home and she had to get married. Her parents didn't agree, so her parents always came to the store to look for her during that time. They also let us see her and try to persuade her not to be stupid.

A year later, I took my sick daughter to the hospital for medical treatment. I met Xiaoting, who was also visiting the hospital with her child who was several months old, and I found out that she was really married to the father of that child. The boy was only one year older than her.

When I learned that she was divorced a few years later, she entrusted her children to her parents and remarried someone else. When I was a child, I believed in love and gave birth to a child, but as an adult I paid the price for my actions in my youth.

I believe her parents tried to persuade and stop her at the time, but she insisted on going her own way and plunged into a marriage she didn't understand without hesitation. Although she saw this clearly as an adult, she quickly turned around and stopped her losses in time. .

But where did the poor child go wrong? Is it fair to him to have to grow up without his parents at such a young age?

So, you must accept your parents’ words with an open mind and listen patiently, otherwise sometimes the consequences will not be as simple as a small loss. Isn't there an old saying: I've eaten more salt than you've ever eaten rice, and I've walked on more bridges than you've walked on.

The path that parents have traveled, the profound experience and the lofty insights of decades are really beyond the reach of young people who are just starting out. In order to avoid detours and suffer losses, it is necessary to absorb more opinions from parents. Kingly way.
