My grandpa isn't badass. But he's not that much of a bad person. The good person is my grandma, she's the one that carry my burden of a grandpa.
Granpa has rough childhood and trying his best to escape from his bad past and fulfilling his dream. He was once a office worker with good payment, but suddenly change job as driver from dealer next town at Toyota to deliver cars from next town to ours, either with trucks or drive the car individually.
All for the driving sensation he long in his life. Defined found his calling as another useless driver.
And such job surely didn't have good payment, not just because he can't find the opportunity to get high paid driver job, but also he didn't have good spending habit.
But that bastard of my grandpa dare to have 4 children and force his child to live in near poverty, to the point of his wife, my grandma, has to do everything to reduce spendings, cut cost and only buy necessary stuff.
His only good part is his personality, good at making friends, and never hurt his children or family. He has soft and kind personality.
But it also back fires as he also treat his friends to dinner while forgetting his own family. and once he has a small Car repair shop of his own, idk when, but many of his tools were borrowed by his friends and they never returned them, And they kept borrowing until the car repair shop didn't have enough tool to kept running.
What's stupid mistake for being a loser against his friends. Definitely not a beta male, proven by his confidence in personality and not being pushed around by others. but he's an alpha male that were being used by his opportunistic friends.
My mother, were the third daughter of the 4 siblings. Albeit they live in near poverty, ptheir house is an actual mansion from War era in a place close to a city center.
The mansion is already sold to a company long time ago. but my grandpa and his mother, the great-granma, is living in the mansion Live by renting on the company.
Later on, great-grandma died and my grandpa lost a lot of money to pay for his mother's debt. what a pair of bastard mother and loser son. Should've fight her mother and force her to submission long time ago, instead of letting her abuse him and kept accumulate debt.
Because my grandpa suddenly became poor, he choose to not pay the rent, because he hire a bad lawyer when he ask for money consultation. What a bad decision, expected of a stupid redneck truck driver.
And the company who own the house is angry and want our family to leave from that mansion. The worst part is that were forced to restore the mansion to the condition it was before, and those renovations need to be undone.
Of course we don't even have money to buy a new house, nor the restoration. Thankfully there's a "pity money" from the judge and the company for my Granpa and Granma to buy a new house. I would rather hope they became homeless and died on the street for how bad my grandpa decisions on his life was.
My grandpa's son and daughter are all gone, they're either married to another or moving out from city. Only my mother left to take care of them.
Luckily my mother has good connections at her company, plus she has new potential-husband from that company (a.k.a my father). So he decided to help moving items from the house and destroying some part of the mansion to restore it to the condition it was before.
After the whole debacle, my father decided to leave my mom pregnant and go back to his home country. Well, bad mother gave bad daughter, and my mom definitely inherit my grandma's talent for choosing bad or useless guys. My father definitely love my mother, but he can't even fight his own mother against arranged marriage.
Such classic cliche, because my father is mama boy that comes from a fuckin old family with reputation. Idk if they're rich or not, but its Definitely hard to fight his own native culture back then.
The my grandpa continue became driver, untuk he eventually retires. And he finally sold his antique car that were too costly, slow and hard to mantainz and buy a japanese minivan that were bought with his own money.
In my childhood, I enjoy driving around with him and he's nice person so I can't see his background. But later on, he decided to sold his car to help his son-in-law paying his car's Down payment.
The son-in-law would use the car for his car rental business, idk what my grandpa gets from that deal. But I'm rather dissatisfied for not being able to drive together. I'm definitely disappointed and rather angry back then.
Later on my granpa realize his reliance for his wife when grandma finally died. Grandma always love his "reliable and useful in life, but unreliable in money making" husband. Helping him and stay loyal despite living in poverty and enduring the abuse of mother-in-law is definitely hard. My grandma is a "Chad" if it's about husband loyalty.
I'm kinda disappointed for her not to share her cooking skill to any of her son/daughter. She insisted that "you will learn/you can learn when you're already married", but she herself is having trained by a good tutor back then.
Anyway, my grandpa suddenly help household duty for his sadness and grandma death didn't affect him that much on the surface. He's rather mature.
Later on he stopped helping household duty, and live in complacency within another of his daughter house. His condition got worse since he's forced to love in bedroom with air conditioner all the time.
But one day, his son get sick and died. He lost his will to live, get sick, and died one year later.
So yeah, a story of another person called my grandpa. I'm kinda angry so the story may be clearly biased and tinted with red lens, but whatever.
He's definitely not useless in real life, since he can repair a lot of stuff at home. From electrical and mechanical engines. But he just can't save money properly.
So yeah. Thanks for reading this wall of text made of frustration venting.
I won't blame if you skip it tho, I would like to skip this as well.
