Lin Hao and his wife carry the burden of a mortgage, with monthly income and expenses stretching thin and frugality in every aspect of life. He was eager to use his parents' 500,000 retirement savings to clear the mortgage. Despite trying to persuade them multiple times, he was firmly refused by the elderly couple, which also bred resentment between the husband and wife. By chance, Lin Hao witnessed his parents' frugal daily routine and heard about a friend's father facing a critical illness with nowhere to borrow money. He finally understood that this money was his parents' lifeline for their old age, filling his heart with guilt, and he proactively apologized and reconciled with his parents. Lin Hao let go of his obsession, worked steadily to get a promotion and a pay raise, planned income and expenses with his wife, and saved up a family emergency reserve fund. The two generations do not burden each other and understand one another.
