I'm Li Suli and I'm 80 years old this year. I think back then, I treated my daughter-in-law Li Fang very difficult, and I always felt that she should listen to me. Until one time, Li Fang couldn't bear it anymore and turned off the heating and hot water in my room, and I was shivering from the cold. This incident made me realize my mistake and get along with my daughter-in-law. Now I'm going to tell you the story of those days.
It was a crisp autumn afternoon, and I sat in a rocking chair in my living room and looked out the window. At this time, I saw Li Fang walking in from outside the door with a shopping bag.
"Li Fang, why did you just come back? I said with a frown.
Li Fang put the shopping bag on the table, propped her hands on the edge of the table, and said tiredly: "Mother-in-law, I only came home from work, you see I still have a work card around my neck." ”
I didn't budge, and said sternly: "I don't care if you're at work or shopping, anyway, you don't care about me as an old man when you're not at home! It's not easy for me to raise your family!"
Li Fang spread her hands helplessly and explained: "Mother-in-law, I'm already very tired, do I still have to guard the child at night? You are in such good health, you should help me take care of my grandson more." ”
Li Fang was stung by me, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. She was silent for a moment, then sighed heavily and turned to walk back into the room.
I shouted behind her back: "Li Fang, stop me! Don't think that I can be when I'm old! You unfilial daughter-in-law!"
Li Fang didn't look back, and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.
I was so angry that I sat alone in the living room for a while. Just as he was about to call Li Qiang, he saw him come back with a briefcase.
"Son, you're back just in time! I said excitedly.
Li Qiang was confused: "Mom, what's wrong with Fangfang, she usually treats you very well." ”
I immediately complained: "That girl is usually high up and never gives my mother-in-law a good look! I asked her to help take care of her grandson, but she not only pushed back, but also slammed the door in front of me just now! Your son is so useless that she can't even control her own wife!"
Li Qiang said helplessly: "Mom, don't get excited. Fangfang is also tired from a day of work, and may not have a very good temper. I'll just talk to her in the evening. ”
I was still angry: "Useless things! I raised your family, and she didn't know how to be grateful! In the future, I will have a bowl and a rice cat, and it will have nothing to do with you!"
With that, I went back to my room in a rage and slammed the door slammed.
In the evening, I was still haunted and made up my mind to draw a line with Li Fang. Just as I was sulking, Li Qiang knocked on my door.
"Mom, let's talk. Today's incident, Fangfang is also at fault, but you are usually too mean to her. Li Qiang persuaded softly.
I immediately exclaimed, "What do you mean me? I raised you to adulthood and married you to her, what was wrong with me?"
Li Qiang walked up to me and said seriously: "Mom, it's not easy to be a daughter-in-law, Fangfang works during the day and takes care of the family at night. We should all be considerate of her hard work, not make things difficult for her all day long. ”
I snorted: "Be considerate of her? Who will be considerate of my old man's feelings? If she marries our Li family, she should put the Li family first! Besides, I didn't make it difficult for her, but she just made a small request, and she reacted so much, it was simply unreasonable!"
Li Qiang had nothing to say, and stood up: "Mom, let's get here here today, I think everyone needs to be calm and calm." ”
"Li Fang, turn on the heating for me!" I shouted out the door with all my might.
After a long while, Li Fang walked over unhurriedly. She leaned against the door frame and said indifferently: "Mother-in-law, didn't you ask me to serve you yesterday?
I trembled with anger and trembled: "Li Fang, you ruthless woman, I can sue you for abusing the elderly!
Li Fang sneered and said, "Mother-in-law, didn't I say it yesterday, if you want me to serve, then I will serve to the end! ”
With that, she closed the door and left. I jumped to my feet and paced back and forth in my thin pajamas, trying to warm myself up.
At noon, Li Qiang came back for dinner, and I took the opportunity to run to his room to complain.
"Son, you is too much! She turned off the heating in my room and removed the water heater! My old bones are about to freeze to death!" I sobbed.
Li Qiang asked in surprise: "Hua Heater is also turned off, the weather is so cold, why is she like this!"
I cried, "That's right, she, a wicked woman, wants to kill me when she sees that my old bones are suffering!"
Li Qiang soothed my emotions and said, "Mom, you go back to the room to rest first, and I'll go talk to Fangfang." ”
I went back to the cold room crying, and I regretted very much why I had to turn my face with Li Fang yesterday. She, a vicious woman, holds grudges deeper than anyone else, and now my old bones can only suffer.
One afternoon passed, and Li Qiang didn't come to me. I was both aggrieved and scared in my heart, for fear that Li Fang would really freeze me to death in this room regardless of harmony.
At night, I couldn't take it anymore. I wrapped myself in a thin blanket and shivered to Li Qiang's bedroom.
"Son, go and take care of your daughter-in-law! If she doesn't turn on the heating for me on such a cold day, how can my old bones stand it!" I sobbed and said to Li Qiang.
Li Qiang was lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone, and said without raising his head: "Mom, Fangfang is also angry for a while, just bear with it." ”
I was anxious, crying and saying, "Good son, I pulled you up, and now you are helping an outsider bully me!"
Li Qiang put down his mobile phone and said helplessly: "Mom, you and I are responsible for this." In the future, we will get along well, don't quarrel all day long. ”
I burst into tears, and my heart was like a knife. My own son was so ruthless to me for the sake of that woman!
That night, I tossed and turned, shivering from the cold. I hate Li Fang's viciousness, and I also hate Li Qiang's ruthlessness. I think how unfair my fate is that my eighty years of life have ended so miserably!
I sat on the couch in despair and cried, I really didn't know what to do with Li Fang. How can a woman be so vengeful and vicious! I, an old bone, no longer have the strength to fight with her.
At this moment, Li Qiang came out of the bedroom. He didn't look like he was sleeping well either, and he had heavy dark circles under his eyes.
"Mom, Fangfang didn't sleep last night. She insisted on not turning on the heating in her room as punishment. Li Qiang said to me tiredly.
I cried and said to Li Qiang: "I know it's wrong, it's me who shouldn't make things difficult for Fangfang." Child, you tell her that I will never find fault with her again, let her forgive me!"
Li Qiang nodded: "I'll go and persuade her." You two are really, you have to quarrel to this point!"
After speaking, Li Qiang turned around and walked into the bedroom. After a while, Li Qiang and Li Fang walked out one after another.
"Mother-in-law, I'm sorry, I really reacted too violently. From now on, I will not be as knowledgeable as you. Li Fang said to me expressionlessly. I could tell that she didn't really apologize.
I hurriedly nodded: "Daughter-in-law, I was wrong, I was wrong, you can say anything, let me go back to keep warm!"
Li Fang said coldly: "Since you have admitted your mistake, mother-in-law, then it will not be difficult for me to be for you." With that, she turned around and went to turn on the heating in my room.
From then on, I was submissive to Li Fang and did not dare to complain a little. I still hate her in my heart, but I'm even more afraid that she will freeze me to death here regardless of the harmony. Li Qiang is also very busy these days, leaving all the family affairs to Li Fang to take care of, and he has no time to discipline the relationship between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
I have a deep resentment towards my son. I raised him as an adult, but I didn't expect him to grow up and not love my old mother at all!
Later, I couldn't stand the cold and grievances, and my body weakened day by day. I started coughing and had severe pneumonia. Li Fang and Li Qiang realized the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly asked the doctor to prescribe medicine for me.
My old bones have managed to survive the dangerous period, but I no longer have the spirit and vitality I used to have. I began to be stuck in bed all day, and I needed Li Qiang's support to move. Although Li Fang still looks indifferent, she will also help me clean up the room and cook some simple meals.
My health was getting worse and my mental state was getting worse. Although Li Qiang and Li Fang will take care of my daily life, I can clearly feel that they are tired of my burden. I began to feel that I was living a very undignified life, like a wrecked person who was about to die. I miss my husband and the wonderful life I had when I was younger. I regret that I was not able to be amiable, that I was not able to win the hearts of my daughter-in-law and son, so that I could only be cared for until I was old. This world seems to have lost a place for me to stand. I regret and blame myself all the time, and my days are like years. On my 80th birthday, Li Qiang and Li Fang ceremoniously prepared a birthday party for me. They went to the luxurious hall of a high-end hotel and invited all my relatives and friends to celebrate my birthday. I put on my gown, put on my makeup, and attended the banquet with great joy.
During the banquet, Li Fang also stood up and said to me: "Mother-in-law, I was too indifferent to you before, can you forgive me?"
I held Li Fang's hand and said excitedly: "Silly girl, that's all in the past, I just hope we get along well now!"
I was deeply moved by the change in attitudes of Li Qiang and Li Fang. It seems that blood is thicker than water, and they still hurt me in the end. I think I shouldn't make things difficult for Li Fang in the future, and I should learn to be tolerant and understanding of people.
At the end of the banquet, Li Qiang helped me get in the car and go home. I happily told him, "Son, thank you for hosting a big birthday party for me today. The relationship between you and Fangfang also makes my old man feel gratified. ”
Li Qiang smiled and said, "Mom, the most important thing is that we are together as a family. Do you say?"
I nodded movingly. The car was quiet and warm, and I leaned on Li Qiang's shoulder, feeling that he made me rely on him more than in the past. The warmth of this moment finally made up for the pain in my heart for many years, and I felt more fulfilled than ever.
Since my 80th birthday, my health has deteriorated. Li Qiang hired a young nurse to take care of my daily life and diet all day. He and Li Fang also came to visit me from time to time, talking with me and distracting them. I feel that my chaotic life has finally found some warmth and comfort at the end.
One day, I was lying in bed and suddenly remembered my husband. How loving we were when we were young, but it's a pity that he passed away early and couldn't grow old with me. I suddenly missed him and wanted to tell him about my remorse and gratitude.
"Wife, I have lived for so many years, and my mental journey has been quite bumpy. Now that the child finally understands that he loves me, my old bones can walk more comfortably. You are in the spirit of heaven, but you want to bless our whole family and harmony. I muttered to myself.
I felt like my husband was right next to me, wrapping his solid arms around me. I leaned into his arms and fell into a deep sleep.
When Li Qiang was sorting through my belongings, he found an old photo of my father next to my pillow. In the photo, the father is smiling happily. Li Qiang suddenly realized that his mother missed his father too much, so she left gently.
My funeral was very simple, Li Qiang and Li Fang collapsed in front of the cemetery. Li Fang hugged my photo and cried: "Mother-in-law, I could have been more filial to you." You're good all the way!"
Seeing them kneeling in front of the grave and weeping bitterly, my heart was very uncomfortable. In this life, I always selfishly want them to pay, but I rarely understand their hard work. It's too late to regret it now, and I can only bless them with happiness in the Spirit of Heaven. My wife, the children finally understand me, and I can let go of the regrets of my life. After that, Li Qiang and Li Fang often came to the cemetery to sweep my grave and tell me about their current situation.
One day during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Qiang and Li Fang brought their grandchildren to see me. They put fruit plates and cakes in front of my grave, lit incense and candles, and the whole family gathered to taste the moon cake and admire the moon.
"Mom, our family is reunited again in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. You are in the spirit of heaven to bless our whole family with happiness and well-being. "Li Qiang stood in front of my grave and prayed sincerely.
Li Fang also knelt down and kowtowed to me to apologize: "Mother-in-law, after you left, I suddenly understood that I shouldn't have made it so difficult for you in the first place. Luckily we reconciled in the end, otherwise I would have been haunted. ”
My tombstone is clean and full of wreaths carefully prepared by Li Qiang and Li Fang. The flame of incense and candles flickered, and the innocent laughter of my grandchildren echoed throughout the cemetery. I am very pleased with this warm sight in front of me.
All the feelings and grievances in the world seem so small in the face of fate. I finally understood that there was still a chance to make up for the regrets of this life in the next life. The only thing I regret is not being more humble to everyone around me who loves me.
Now Li Qiang and Li Fang are still struggling in the world, and I will always protect them and help them tide over the difficulties. From now on, I will bless them every day and bless the whole family with harmony and happiness.
There is no place for me in the world, and I can finally travel lightly to find the wife I have missed for a long time. We have grown old together for decades, and now we are going to continue our unfinished marriage in another world.
In the darkness, I seemed to see a warm light. My wife's figure is waiting for me with a smile at the end of the light.
"Wife, I'm here. This time, I will never leave you again. ”
I ran to the familiar back with tears in my eyes. Parting is imminent, but we are about to start a new reunion.
