Rearing children against old age? It has been a tradition for several thousand years in China's rural areas to rase children can prevent one from loneness in old age. A telephone call from dad makes me doubt the truth of it. My sister-in-law' s constant stupidity makes my blood boil. She asked my parents to look after my niece but drove them out of their residences in less than a week,just for something marginal. They are simple country person and pocketed their pride doing housework. It makes my heart ache to hear this. They are well over sixty and invalid. I am very thankful, I am cheerful, but I cannot quite help their coming to my eyes at the moment. I'm supposed to accelerate the speed of success over the speed of parents ' getting elder. And I should take warning from this I'm going to be a daughter-in-law.
