自古以來，孝順父母一直被視為美德的楷模，而有些人甚至認為孝順是成功的關鍵。然而，有時候家庭中的情況可能比表面看起來複雜得多。以下是一個真實故事，可能會顛覆你對孝順的看法。

故事的主人公是小傑，他生長在一個小康家庭，排行老么。由於他從小就長得英俊，受到父母的寵愛，幾乎不會受到懲罰。然而，當小傑的二哥的成績開始突飛猛進時，爸媽將關愛的眼神轉向他。二哥卻自小就有暴力傾向，經常向小傑使用暴力。他之前甚至因為爭奪墊板的小事就將大姊的頭打到噴血，整件衣服都是紅色的血跡。因為這件意外，導致之後她反應變得較遲緩並容易被外界欺負。

二哥患有被害妄想症，總是認為自己被家人忽略和不愛。他經常將自己的負面情感轉嫁給小傑，並對他進行長期的精神虐待，只要小傑表示不同意見，他就會遭到辱罵和攻擊。此外，二哥還常在外面散播虛假言論，形塑一個假象，宣稱自己在家中長期遭受媽媽跟小傑的欺負，因為小傑最受媽媽疼愛。

高中時期的一次衝突更是嚴重，二哥用棍子毆打小傑，整個棍子都打到斷，導致小傑倒地不起，開始昏迷覺得自己生命可能即將結束。而此時卻隱約聽到，二哥冷嘲熱諷地說小傑在裝死，希望他真的快點死掉最好，顯示出對弟弟的冷漠和殘忍。

然而，這些行為並未改變爸媽對二哥的疼愛，他們經常對外人炫耀和吹噓他的成績，讓二哥在外界形塑一個完美的印象，甚至有一些好家庭希望將女兒許配給他。與此同時，小傑的成績平平，因為強勢的媽媽導致他個性軟弱被欺負都不敢吭聲，導致許多同學變本加厲的霸凌。在台灣這個重視成績的社會中，老師不太在乎那些成績差的學生狀況。

媽媽是一位強勢的人，她經常以嚴厲的方式來教育小傑和大姊。這使得他們變得軟弱，不敢反擊外界的霸凌，也不敢向父母訴說。每次只要有事情發生，從來都不問原由，總是先修理自己的孩子，甚至逼著他們向別人道歉。

後來當小傑開始工作賺錢，家中的經濟壓力減輕。為感謝爸媽多年來的栽培，將自己月薪的三分之一用來孝敬爸媽，並在股票賺錢時分紅。每年紅包也從年終獎金抽出來分給家人。

於是，爸媽開始表示，他們以後的住的房子會給小傑，因為他長期以來都是他們一起生活的，不僅分擔了生活費用，還照顧他們的飲食起居，補貼包括房屋稅、電費、車險等費用。

當二哥結婚時，爸媽為他們舉辦了一場花費超過75萬的盛大婚禮，還買價值6萬的金飾給他的太太。然而爸爸告訴小傑，以後的婚禮得自己想辦法，家裡不會幫他出一毛錢。儘管小傑感到困惑，但他仍然保持著孝順的心，經常每天中午帶爸爸去餐廳吃飯。

小傑曾經有段時間賺相當多的錢，開始每月給爸媽總共3.5萬的孝親費，再加上餐費和許多開銷，每個月至少花8.5萬以上在家用上，這樣的時間超過10年。然而，這也導致他自己無法買房子。

當初，爸媽堅決阻止他搬出去住，他們總是說房子以後是留給他的。現在台灣的房價如今已經高不可攀，小傑之前賺的大部分錢都花在爸媽身上，至少有2000萬。出乎意料的是，二哥卻冷冷地對大姊說小傑跟爸媽住，本來就省房租，給多也是應該的。

二哥的女兒一度經常辱罵小傑。有一次吃飯，小傑只是詢問姪女最近的功課如何，馬上被斥責，被說我的事情關你屁事，要管好自己。然後又用羞辱性字眼痛罵一通。這時小傑不甘當眾受辱，相當生氣，但卻意外地被媽媽叫住，命他閉嘴，管好自己的事情，並問他為什麼問題這麼多。

這一幕讓大姊感到非常生氣，她當場目瞪口呆。事後，她教訓了姪女，但沒想到姪女回應說又沒態度多差，二哥則輕描淡寫地說只是小孩子，不要管這麼多。小傑當場體會到，無論他對爸媽多好，他們的眼中永遠只有二哥。

爸媽還花650萬幫助二哥付房子頭期款，如今這套房的價值已經增值超過三千萬，目前每月收租超過3萬以上。然而，二哥每天開著小傑新買的車上下班，卻一毛錢也不贊助，除常常抱怨車子不好，也一直抱怨自己沒錢無力分攤。

當初爸媽替二哥買房的時候，二哥為了安撫大姊和小傑，不斷宣示他不會跟小傑要目前爸媽住的房子。然而，當他移居國外後，才真正露出本性。他告訴女兒，他的房子都是用自己的錢買的，沒有花家裡一毛錢。爸媽目前的房子他有權利取得，因為他對家裡最有貢獻。如果小傑想要一個人拿到房產，就會循法律途徑提告。有一次，二哥陪媽媽去銀行保險箱拿資料的時候，把爸媽的房產證明拿走，事後被發現才又返回。

小傑想說，既然二哥已經要出國，也不知道何時回台，於是問爸媽是否按照之前的說的先進行遺囑的設立。然而，得到的回應相當令人心寒。每天起床後都會開始咒罵小傑的媽媽冷冷地說不可能給你，因為你會趕我們走。爸爸也附和說想要房子自己去買。小傑表示只是先白紙黑字的寫下來，免得之後家人之間會傷感情。並不是馬上移轉給自己。被拒絕後還被說不孝，眼裡只有財產。但是小傑卻不解地問大姊，二哥的房子家人都替他出頭期款六百多萬，事後全家人都不能去他家住。但是他老婆的家人一天到晚都住滿住好，爸媽連屁都不敢吭一聲，連他們出租房子的錢也沒有分給爸媽一毛錢。

事實上二哥每月在投資型保單上花費很多錢，每次家庭聚餐都一副沒錢付的樣子。最後，大部分費用都由爸爸、小傑或大姊分攤。令人不解的是，他的女兒卻穿著價值快四千元的鞋子，還常常買一堆市價超過兩三千元的寶可夢卡片。

在爸媽的溺愛下，姪女事後變本加厲，多次詛咒小傑快去死就能取得他的財產，被當場的大姊聽到極度憤怒，並向爸媽投訴均無效。媽媽還認為大姊在造謠生事刻意詆毀二哥小孩。

爸媽對二哥的寵愛似乎已經走向了極端，媽媽也準備將房產移轉給二哥。這種不公平和不平等的對待讓家庭關係變得複雜跟緊張，同時也讓小傑感到無奈和心痛。

於是，存款已經不多的小傑最終選擇離開台灣。因為沒車沒房在台灣就是一個標準的魯蛇。對他來說，這種環境只是住在一個開放式的監獄罷了。他畢業後從來都沒花家裡的一毛錢。念研究所或是創業都是花自己的錢。本來以為爸媽也會依照承諾照顧自己的下半輩子，沒有得到正面的回應還被冷嘲熱諷說不孝，原來眼裡只有財產。

在出國後，爸媽透過大姊希望小傑快一點回台照顧他們。小傑很想說他很累了。他只想要有一個家，一個屬於自己的家。二哥小時候長期的暴力相向，好幾次差點被打死，這輩子是不可能聽到任何一句的道歉，但是他也選擇原諒。

爸媽用這種詐欺式的手法欺騙小傑，他也沒有怨言。但是再也不想回台灣了。現在每個月的兩萬元孝親費都是小傑都很努力地擠出來給他們用，自己在國外的開銷很大，常常三餐吃泡麵果腹。他很想問為何他們從來不會從他的立場設想，眼中永遠只有二哥？那位在外面永遠表現得很優秀的二哥？

這個故事反映了家庭中的不平等和社會的壓力，同時也展現小傑對家庭的承擔和孝順。它提醒我們，家庭關係應該建立在平等和尊重的基礎上，而不應受到社會觀念和外界評價的影響。

Since ancient times, filial piety towards parents has been considered a virtuous model, with some even viewing it as a key to success. However, family dynamics can be more complex than they appear on the surface. Here is a real story that might challenge your perception of filial piety.

The protagonist of the story is Xiao Jie, who grew up in an affluent family and is the youngest in the family. Due to his handsome appearance, Xiao Jie received favoritism from his parents and was rarely subjected to punishment. However, when Xiao Jie's second brother's academic performance began to excel, their parents shifted their attention towards him. The second brother had a history of violent tendencies and frequently subjected Xiao Jie to physical abuse. On one occasion, he even caused their elder sister to bleed profusely over a trivial dispute about a cushion. This incident left her with delayed reactions and vulnerable to bullying.

The second brother suffered from paranoid delusions, always feeling neglected and unloved by the family. He frequently projected his negative emotions onto Xiao Jie, subjecting him to prolonged emotional abuse for expressing differing opinions. Moreover, the second brother spread false rumors outside, creating an illusion that he was mistreated by their mother and Xiao Jie, as Xiao Jie was the most loved by their mother.

A severe conflict occurred during high school when the second brother violently attacked Xiao Jie with a stick, breaking it in the process. Xiao Jie fell to the ground, unconscious, and heard the second brother cynically suggesting he was faking it and expressing a desire for him to die quickly. This displayed a callous and cruel attitude towards his younger brother.

Despite these actions, their parents continued to favor the second brother, boasting about his achievements to others, creating a perfect image for him. Meanwhile, Xiao Jie's grades were average, and due to the domineering mother, he became submissive, enduring bullying from classmates who were emboldened by teachers' indifference to poorly performing students in Taiwan's achievement-focused society.

Their mother was a domineering figure who used strict methods to educate both Xiao Jie and their elder sister, making them weak and hesitant to stand up against external bullying. Each time an issue arose, their mother would discipline her children without investigating the cause, forcing them to apologize even if they were not at fault.

As Xiao Jie started working and easing the family's financial burden, he expressed gratitude by dedicating one-third of his monthly salary to support his parents and sharing profits from stock investments. Yet, despite these contributions, their parents insisted that the future house would be given to Xiao Jie, who had shared the family's living expenses and taken care of their daily needs, covering expenses like property tax, electricity bills, and car insurance.

Their mother, however, remained strong-willed and insisted that the house would be given to the second brother, even contributing 6.5 million to help him pay the down payment. The property's value appreciated significantly, with the second brother now earning substantial monthly rent from it. Surprisingly, their parents didn't contribute any money when Xiao Jie purchased a new car but continually complained about its quality, contrasting with their generous treatment of the second brother's wife's family.

During a family gathering, the second brother's daughter frequently insulted Xiao Jie, expressing disdain for his inquiries about her schoolwork. The incident caused a heated argument, with their mother siding against Xiao Jie and silencing him, questioning why he was asking so many questions.

Despite Xiao Jie's financial contributions and efforts to maintain filial piety, their parents favored the second brother, spending over 750,000 on his extravagant wedding and purchasing 60,000 worth of gold jewelry for his wife. Their father informed Xiao Jie that if he ever got married, he would have to manage everything himself, and the family wouldn't contribute a penny. Although perplexed, Xiao Jie continued to express filial piety by taking his father out for lunch daily.

At one point, Xiao Jie earned a considerable amount of money, contributing 35,000 as monthly filial piety and covering various expenses, but this commitment prevented him from buying his own house. Initially, their parents vehemently opposed Xiao Jie moving out, claiming that the house would be his in the future. As property prices soared in Taiwan, Xiao Jie realized he wouldn't be able to afford a house anytime soon.

Despite contributing most of his earnings to the family, Xiao Jie was denied financial assistance when he asked for support in buying a house, a stark contrast to the second brother, who had been accommodated in every aspect. Even with significant financial contributions, Xiao Jie's request to draft a will was met with cold rejection, labeled as disrespectful and focusing only on assets.

Frustrated and hurt by the unequal treatment, Xiao Jie eventually chose to leave Taiwan, feeling that without a car or property, he would be perceived as a failure in the country's standards. He sought a place where he could have a home of his own. After going abroad, their parents urged Xiao Jie to return to Taiwan and take care of them, expressing discontent with his decision to leave.
