Just in time for the son to spend Respect for the Aged Day in jail.
He should have left home instead.

"What do you mean I need to get a job. I was planning to live here for free and continue to mooch off your pension. Later, after you pass, I was not planning to report it"

disgusting excuse for a man. Why would you punch your own aged father? just because of an argument? Piece of filth.

Now it would make it even more difficult for the unemployed 31-year-old man to get a decent job, I mean, after he will be released.
