Narrator: Wang Jianpeng
My name is Wang Jianpeng, I am 42 years old, and I am engaged in the business of renting loaders and excavators.
I was a miserable child. When I was 6 years old, my mother died. After that, my father raised me alone until I was 16 years old.
After my mother left, I became a motherless child, just like a piece of grass, very pitiful.
Aunt Hua, who was across the wall from our house, saw that I was pitiful, took pity on me, and often cooked food for me to eat.
To add insult to injury, at the age of 16, his father died of illness. The death of both my parents hit me hard. Overnight, I was orphaned.
I didn't have my grandparents, my parents were gone again, and I didn't know what to do with the rest of the day.
At this time, Aunt Hua took me to her house and cooked me delicious meals every day.
Before my father died, he gave me his savings. I gave the money to Aunt Hua, but she rejected me and told me to keep it for my daughter-in-law in the future.
Since I was a child, I had a dream to be a PLA protector and defend the country. As an adult, I chose to join the army in order to fulfill my dream.
Time flies, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle. After completing my military service, I returned to my hometown. With the help of Aunt Hua, I successfully entered a chemical factory and worked as a driver.
When I got married, I didn't even have a girlfriend. Seeing this, Aunt Hua urged me to find a girlfriend many times. But due to my personality and other reasons, I have never been able to find a girlfriend.
One day, Aunt Hua suddenly said to me, "My daughter just doesn't have a boyfriend. Why don't you be her boyfriend!"
Hearing Aunt Hua say this, I was instantly stunned, and it took me a long time to come back to my senses. I said to Aunt Hua, "It's impossible!"
Let's talk about Aunt Hua's daughter Xiaojuan. Xiaojuan looks as beautiful as a flower. Not only is the figure good, but also the temperament is good. She is 2 years younger than me, is a nurse and works at the town's health center.
As for me, although I am not ugly, I am not handsome. Suffice it to say, I don't deserve her at all. I don't think I can do anything with her.
One day, Xiaojuan was on vacation. Aunt Hua told me to hurry home after work. At the dinner table, Aunt Hua asked Xiaojuan directly: "Is it okay for Jianpeng to be your boyfriend?"
I saw Xiaojuan say without hesitation: "No!" At that time, I was very embarrassed.
Later, Aunt Hua helped me introduce blind dates through various channels, and I had a relationship myself, but for various reasons, it all failed.
Xiaojuan was so beautiful that she quickly found a partner. I heard Aunt Hua say that Xiaojuan's object works in an agency, has a stable job, is handsome, and has a good family background, she is quite satisfied.
Unbeknownst to me, within a few months, Aunt Hua suddenly told me that Xiaojuan broke up with her boyfriend. said that the man was not dedicated to his feelings and stepped on two boats.
After being hurt by her feelings, Xiaojuan was lost for a while.
During that time, Aunt Hua asked me to take good care of her. Under my careful care, Xiaojuan quickly walked out of the trough.
Aunt Hua struck while the iron was hot and kept saying good things about me in front of Xiaojuan.
What I never expected was that under the constant persuasion of Aunt Hua, Xiaojuan actually agreed to be my girlfriend.
Happiness came too suddenly. Because I knew Xiaojuan very well with each other, not long after confirming the relationship, we entered the palace of marriage. In this way, Xiaojuan became my wife, and Aunt Hua became my mother-in-law, incredible.
After I got married, Xiaojuan and I lived in the old house left to me by my father, and my mother-in-law was my neighbor. On weekdays, we take care of each other. I think it's good.
But Xiaojuan thought the house was dilapidated and insisted that I go to the town to buy a house. In order to be obedient to Xiaojuan, I sold my old house, plus my savings and the money left to me by my father, and bought a three-bedroom second-hand house in the town with all the money.
In the second year after marriage, we welcomed our baby son Taotao. Due to my busy work, I don't have time to take care of my wife and children, but my children need to be taken care of. So, I took my mother-in-law to my home and asked her to help take care of Taotao.
In the beginning, we lived together as a family of four and enjoyed a great time. Originally, I thought I could be happy forever. Who knows, gradually, my relationship with Xiaojuan is no longer harmonious.
I don't know why, she always picks a bone in the egg. It's that no matter what I do, she finds fault with me and says that mine is not. For the sake of my mother-in-law's face, I didn't argue with her.
Sometimes, when my daughter is vexatious, my mother-in-law will educate her. But Xiaojuan has a big temper and always contradicts her. This made the mother-in-law very unhappy. And I, too, live a very aggrieved life.
After Taotao went to kindergarten, Xiaojuan said to me, "When a nurse has a low salary, she wants to make a lot of money in business!" I disagreed, so I asked her to think carefully. But she insisted on going her own way and quit her job as a nurse.
After resigning, Xiaojuan's temper became even greater. All day long, she kept picking on my mother-in-law's fault, saying that my mother-in-law would not take children. My mother-in-law was very angry and moved out of my house despite my retention.
In order to provide a better life for my wife and children, I quit my job as a driver in a chemical factory and changed to a job driving a trailer. Compared to before, the salary is much higher.
Since my mother-in-law left, my relationship with Xiaojuan has dropped to a freezing point. Although we live under the same roof, we sleep in separate rooms and do not scratch each other. It can be said that for the sake of Taotao, I have been about to get married.
As for Xiaojuan, she doesn't know how to do business at all. It didn't take long to lose tens of thousands of dollars. If my mother-in-law found out, she would definitely be angry. In order not to spoil my mother-in-law's good mood, I didn't tell her.
One day in August 2013 (9th year after marriage), I was on vacation at home. Suddenly, the mother-in-law came. Seeing that her face was very bad, I immediately asked her what was wrong!
I saw my mother-in-law say to me: "Jianpeng, you are a good man, a good father, a good son-in-law, and a good husband, but Xiaojuan is so stupid that she doesn't know how to cherish it!"
Hearing my mother-in-law say this, I was confused and asked her what happened?
My mother-in-law cried and said to me, "Xiaojuan betrayed you. She's so confused!"
Next, my mother-in-law told me that a few days ago, she was tidying up the room where Xiaojuan used to sleep, and accidentally found a very high-end jewelry box, which immediately aroused her curiosity.
At the time, she thought, this watch must not be cheap. She carefully took out her watch and looked at it. When she saw the amount on the invoice in the box, she was stunned! Oh my God, Xiaojuan actually bought a watch for more than 4,000 yuan, did she get rich?
With questions, my mother-in-law broadcast Xiaojuan's phone. On the other end of the phone, Xiaojuan said: "Where can I afford a watch of more than 4,000 yuan, it was given to me by someone else!"
My mother-in-law said, "You are a married woman, how can others be willing to give you such a valuable thing." Are you hiding something from me?"
Xiaojuan said: "To tell you the truth, because I am beautiful, a man has been chasing me recently, don't tell Jianpeng!"
When my mother-in-law heard this, she immediately became angry and said to Xiaojuan: "You have a husband and children." The point is that Jianpeng is so good to you, and you are so kind to him. You listened to your mother's advice, immediately returned the watch, and then broke off your relationship with that man and lived a good life with Jianpeng. Otherwise, I won't be able to spare you!"
Xiaojuan said, "It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to marry him." I'll tell you, you don't mind my business!"
For this matter, my mother-in-law quarreled with Xiaojuan several times. But no matter how my mother-in-law persuaded her, Xiaojuan just didn't look back.
As a last resort, my mother-in-law found me and asked me to talk to Xiaojuan. My mother-in-law persuaded me to try to reconcile with Xiaojuan in order for Taotao to have a complete childhood.
As a man, I believe that no one can tolerate such a thing. After a moment of silence, I told my mother-in-law: "If Xiaojuan really betrays me, I will never forgive her!
The mother-in-law said, "Don't be impulsive yet. Maybe it's not as bad as we thought it would be! If Xiaojuan really did something sorry for you, I would definitely not look at her!"
In order to find out the truth of the matter, I deliberately asked for leave to secretly track Xiaojuan's whereabouts. What broke me down was that it turned out that Xiaojuan really betrayed me because I found evidence that she betrayed me.
At that time, I was very angry and wanted to divorce Xiaojuan immediately. But after calming down, I think if I divorce Xiaojuan, my mother-in-law will definitely be very sad. Thinking about how good my mother-in-law was to me when I was a child, I couldn't bear to break her heart.
After I found my mother-in-law, I showed her the evidence of Xiaojuan's betrayal of me as soon as possible. I said to her: "Although Xiaojuan betrayed me, as long as she realizes her mistake, breaks off contact with that man, and lives well with me in the future, I can give her a chance!"
After hearing this, the mother-in-law said, "Jianpeng, it's hard for you!"
I originally planned to forgive Xiaojuan, but Xiaojuan actually said to me, "Who wants you to forgive." If it weren't for my mother's face, I would have taken a fancy to you. If it weren't for me, where would you come from? I'll tell you, I don't want to live with you for a long time, divorce!"
In this way, my marriage with Xiaojuan came to an end. Not long after the divorce, Xiaojuan went to the field with the man. The mother-in-law fell ill in anger and lay in bed for several days.
In those days, I took good care of her every day. When she recovered, I took her home. The reason why I picked her up to live with us was that she lived alone in her hometown, and I was not at ease, and second, I had to go to work to make money, and Taotao had no one to take care of me. Bring my mother-in-law to live together, I can take care of her every day, and she can also take care of Taotao every day. That way, I won't have any worries about going out to earn money.
In order to let my mother-in-law and Taotao live a better life, I quit my job helping others drive trailers, took out all my savings, bought a big truck, became a small boss, ran long-distance transportation by myself, and the business was okay. As for the income, it is much higher than before.
Seeing that I was very tired and lonely to run long-distance transportation alone, my mother-in-law persuaded me to find a companion to live, and I said to my mother-in-law: "I don't think about emotional matters for the time being, I just want to make money wholeheartedly, so that you can live a good life with Taotao!"
One night in March 2015, I was running a transportation trip in the field, and suddenly, the phone rang, and as soon as I answered, the other party said: "Jianpeng, I am your neighbor, your mother-in-law is sick, please come to the hospital quickly!"
"What, my mother-in-law is sick!" After hanging up the phone, I immediately rushed to my hometown overnight. When I arrived at the hospital, the doctor told me, "Your mother-in-law is fine. ”
I asked the doctor, what's wrong with my mother-in-law?
The doctor said, "Your mother-in-law has acute myocarditis, but fortunately, your kind neighbor took her to the hospital as soon as possible." Because I got the timely rescue, there is nothing to do, and it is estimated that I can be discharged from the hospital after about half a month of recuperation!"
After that, during the half month in the hospital, I took good care of my mother-in-law every day. During this time, I called Xiaojuan. Xiaojuan said that she was too busy to spare time, so she asked me to take good care of my mother-in-law.
Half a month later, the mother-in-law was discharged from the hospital. When I got home, I quickly brought a gift to thank the kind neighbor. At the same time, I also realized that my mother-in-law is getting older and sicker. If I continue to run long-distance transportation, if something happens to my mother-in-law, I will not be able to fulfill my filial piety by her side in time. In that case, I won't feel at ease making money.
After careful consideration, I decided not to do any longer than to travel long distances. So, I sold the big truck to someone else. I used the money to buy a loader and rent it out in my hometown. In this way, I can take care of my mother-in-law and Taotao every day, and naturally I won't have any worries.
In April 2018, my hometown was demolished, and my family's old house and my mother-in-law's old house happened to be within the scope of demolition.
It's a pity that I sold my old house to someone else. Otherwise, you can change at least two apartments.
After the house was demolished, the mother-in-law received a sum of compensation.
My mother-in-law said to me: "I will keep this demolition money, and when Taotao grows up, I will use it for him to marry and marry his wife!"
A few days after the mother-in-law's demolition money was in hand, Xiaojuan suddenly came back.
When she came back this time, Xiaojuan seemed to be a different person.
First of all, she ignored her mother-in-law's opposition and lived at home with a cheeky face.
In the past, the mother-in-law said one sentence to her, and she said three words.
This time, no matter how her mother-in-law counted her, she laughed haha and never said a word.
Secondly, she has become very diligent. In addition to cooking three meals a day, she also contracted most of the housework in the family.
On Sunday, I took Taotao out to eat KFC, helped him buy clothes, and took him to the playground to play, as if I wanted to get back all the missing maternal love of Taotao.
Especially to me, it was so polite that I couldn't stand it a little. You know, she's never been so polite to me before.
At that time, I was very puzzled, I couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in her gourd!
Seven or eight days after I came back, Xiaojuan told my mother-in-law: "I have a good idea of a more profitable project in other places and want to be an agent in my hometown." Now I can't turn over the funds, so let my mother-in-law lend her the compensation money to turn it around on Monday, and when I get the money, I will return it to my mother-in-law with interest!"
It turned out that Xiaojuan came for the demolition money in my mother-in-law's hand!
My mother-in-law told her: "This demolition money is reserved for Taotao's future marriage." No one should think of the idea of playing this money!"
Seeing that my mother-in-law disagreed, Xiaojuan resorted to a bitter plan.
She said to my mother-in-law: "In all these years outside, I really want to be Taotao. For Taotao's sake, I would have cut that man in two!"
I heard that I have never remarried, Xiaojuan said that for the sake of Taotao and the family, she wanted to start over with me.
Seeing that Xiaojuan was willing to remarry me, my mother-in-law was very happy, and she asked me if I would like to remarry Xiaojuan!
Although Xiaojuan betrayed me, I was really angry back then.
But after all these years, I have gradually come to my senses.
If Xiaojuan really wants to live with me, for Taotao, for my mother-in-law, and for myself, I am willing to remarry her. After all, I once loved her dearly.
The mother-in-law said, "You can't be in a hurry about this. To tell you the truth, if you can remarry Xiaojuan, it is something I can't ask for. Let me tell you, Xiaojuan is my daughter, I know her very well, she has a lot of eyes when she is young. I don't know if she's here for remarriage or for compensation this time, let me figure it out!"
In order to find out the truth of the matter, the mother-in-law made a bloody investment. She specially hired professionals to investigate Xiaojuan's whereabouts.
After investigation, it turned out that Xiaojuan did not come back alone at all this time, nor did she come back with the previous man, but with another man.
This man lives in a hotel in our town.
As for Xiaojuan, although she lives in my house, she often secretly meets with that man when she is out.
There is no doubt that Xiaojuan came this time for the compensation of her mother-in-law. She said that she wanted to remarry me, but it was just a cover for her.
Fortunately, the mother-in-law did not lend her the compensation, otherwise, it would have been a waste.
Seeing that her daughter was cheating her compensation under the guise of remarriage, her mother-in-law was so angry that she kicked Xiaojuan out of the house that day.
My mother-in-law said to me, "Xiaojuan is hopeless! I don't expect her to provide for me, just because I don't have her as a daughter." Jianpeng, you promise Mom, find another companion to live a good life!"
I said, "Mom, I promise you, but whenever I meet a suitable one, I will find it!" Although I divorced Xiaojuan, I have long regarded you as my own mother. In the future, I will be filial to your old man and will provide for you in old age!"
Nowadays, our family of three lives together, and our lives are plain and happy. My career is quite stable, except for the loader before, I bought another excavator later, and the business is not bad.
As for remarriage, this needs fate. I believe that as long as I encounter it, I will definitely grasp it.
Write to the end: I think my mother-in-law is the best mother-in-law in the world. For the rest of my life, I must be filial to her, provide for her well, and let her spend a happy and worry-free old age!
