Liu Mei and I were college classmates, and after graduation, we met on a blind date and soon entered the palace of marriage.
Liu Mei is a gentle and virtuous woman, and our relationship is also very good. After marriage, I concentrated on work, Liu Mei was at home with her husband and children, and we lived a plain but happy life.
My father divorced when I was a child and has always been close to me. Over the years, I have done my best to take care of my father's life. But my father is in his 70s and his health is deteriorating, and I can't do anything in my eyes so I can only give him some living expenses on a regular basis.
One day, Liu Mei suddenly said to me: "Husband, don't send living expenses to your uncle every month, just let me come." ”
I was surprised and said, "Meimei, how can you pay for this? ”
Liu Mei shook her head and said, "You are so busy with work, and it is not easy to take care of me and the children." Your dad is my relative, and I should do my best. Don't give any more money, I'll give my uncle 3,000 yuan a month for living expenses. ”
What else did I want to say, Liu Mei sealed my mouth with her fingers and said, "Listen to me, I am also your father's daughter-in-law, and I have the obligation to take care of his life." You can rest assured. ”
Looking at Liu Mei's determined eyes, I was excited. I know that Liu Mei's character will stick to the end once she decides something, and it will be in vain for me to persuade her. In the end, I can only say gratefully: "Meimei, thank you, I am so touched." In the future, Dad's life will be entrusted to you. ”
Liu Mei nodded with a smile, took my hand and said, "Husband, our husband and wife are a family. Your dad is my dad, and I'll take good care of him. ”
From that day on, Liu Mei began to send money to my father on a monthly basis for living expenses. I have gradually let go of the burden I have had over the years and can focus more on my work.
A few months later, I went to visit my father and found that he seemed to be in a much better mental state. I happily said to my father, "Dad, you seem to be in much better health recently, have you kept all the money that Meimei sends you every month?"
The father smiled and said, "Son, my old bones have only been around for a few years, and the money that Meimei, a good daughter-in-law, sends me every month, I use to see a doctor and buy medicine." Now my body is much better, thanks to Mei Mei. ”
I was so excited that I held my father's hand and said, "Dad, Meimei is a good girl, and your life will depend on her in the future." With her here, I'm much more relieved. ”
The father nodded and said, "Good son, I am also happy as a father that you have found such a virtuous wife." Mei Mei is a good girl, we must be grateful to her. After leaving my father's house, I happily returned to my home to share the good news with Liu Mei.
"Meimei, I just went to visit my dad, and he said that his health is much better, and he relies on the money you send every month to treat the disease and buy medicine. It was you who made his quality of life better, and I am so grateful to you. I said excitedly.
Liu Mei smiled and said, "Husband, your father's physical improvement is the most important thing, don't worry too much about the rest." If he lives a healthy life, we will all be happy. ”
I held Liu Mei's hand and said sincerely: "Meimei, I know that over the years, you have been taking care of me and the children, and you have to work, which is very stressful. It must be not easy for you to take on the responsibility of taking care of my dad now. With you, my heart will feel grounded. I will be forever grateful for your efforts. ”
I hurriedly said, "Meimei, if you feel that the burden is too heavy, you don't need to send money every month, I'll think of other ways." You've done enough. ”
Liu Mei shook her head and said, "No, I didn't mean that." It's just that sometimes it feels a little overwhelming, but that's what I'm supposed to do. Don't worry, I'll stick to it. ”
Looking at Liu Mei's resolute eyes, I wanted to persuade her to take on less, but I knew that it was a responsibility for her, so I didn't say anything more.
After that, I was in a dilemma. I have to take care of my sick father and my wife, who has a lot of responsibilities, and it makes me anxious.
One day, Liu Mei lost her temper with me and said, "You know about your father all day long, I have worked hard to take care of you for so long, don't you have a little to say?"
I hurriedly took Liu Mei's hand and said, "Meimei, I'm sorry, I've been too focused on my dad during this time." In fact, I understand your hard work very much, and I really appreciate that you have been supporting this family. ”
Looking at my wife's aggrieved appearance, my heart was like a knife. As a husband, I should be considerate of my wife's feelings, but as a son, I can't give up taking care of my father. The choice I had to make was really painful.
After that, I started trying to find a balance between the two, but it was always difficult to get the best of both worlds. My anxious days went on like this, and the inner entanglement became heavier and heavier
Just when I was torn between two points, I received the news of my father's death. I was excited and sad, and immediately rushed back to my hometown to deal with the aftermath.
After my father's funeral, I returned home, and Liu Mei had already prepared a hot meal waiting for me.
"Husband, you must be sad. Don't blame yourself too much, you also tried your best to take care of your uncle. Liu Mei comforted gently.
I was silent, my heart full of remorse.
"Liu Mei, I'm really sorry, I have paid too much attention to my father over the years, but I have ignored your feelings. Now that your father is gone, you can finally be free. But I know you had a hard time during his lifetime. I said reproachfully.
I nodded and hugged Liu Mei. I was relieved to finally be able to carry a heavy burden.
A few days later, I went out to run errands, and as soon as I entered the community, I saw a neighbor aunt stop me and said in an unkind tone: "I heard that your father passed away, and you are too unfilial to be a son." Your father was taken care of by your daughter-in-law when he was alive, what kind of face do you have to live in this world?"
"Did you do your best? The aunt said angrily, "I think you are a bad son who is not filial, and your daughter-in-law doesn't know if she is sick!
I listened to my aunt's accusations, my face was red, and I was both ashamed and angry. I knew I was sorry for my father and my wife, but being reprimanded like this by an outsider still embarrassed me to the core.
"Auntie, I know you mean well, but please take care of the housework. I'll reflect on it. I said with a sigh of rage.
"Introspect, what else do you have to introspect!" Auntie looked at me, snorted and turned away.
I stood still, unable to calm down for a long time. I understood that in the eyes of others, I was an incompetent son and husband. I will bear this accusation for a long, long time
When I got home, I was preoccupied. Liu Mei sensed that something was wrong with me and asked with concern, "Husband, what's wrong with you?"
I nodded and said, "I was reprimanded by an aunt in the community today, saying that I am not filial and don't care about you. I know I've been sorry for you all these years, and now I'm even more sad to be told like this. ”
Liu Mei came over and hugged me, and said softly: "Don't take it to heart, how can outsiders know about what happened between us." You've done a great job and don't need to blame yourself. ”
I leaned on Liu Mei's arms, but I couldn't calm down. I know
Just when I blamed myself for my neighbor's words, an incident suddenly broke the fragile peace between me and Liu Mei.
Liu Mei's face suddenly became ugly, and she said, "It's just a customer, you are too careful." ”
"Enough!" Liu Mei suddenly interrupted me loudly, "It has nothing to do with who I send a message to!
I was angered by Liu Mei's reaction: "Liu Mei, why did you talk to me? I am your husband, I care about your relationship with other men, it's normal, right? There is obviously something wrong with your reaction, tell me the truth!"
Liu Mei sneered: "I have a problem? I have borne it for so many years, what qualifications do you have to question me?"
I looked at Liu Mei's unfamiliar expression, and my heart was mixed. We've been so many years, but now we're strangers who are suspicious of each other.
"Liu Mei, I know that it has not been easy for you these years, if you have any grievances, you can tell me, but finding an affair is never the way to solve the problem. "I try to be rational and say.
"Affair? I just talked to someone to keep warm, and I didn't cheat. Even if it's cheating, it's because you drove me to do it. Liu Mei said impatiently.
I looked at Liu Mei in shock, I couldn't understand that she could say such things so confidently.
"Liu Mei, I'm really disappointed. Are we so weak after so many years of marriage? You know that I have been trying my best to take care of you and my father, and now you are putting the blame on me. I said sadly.
"You said you tried your best to take care of yourself!" Liu Mei suddenly became excited, "I have endured humiliation and burdens all these years, what have you given me? You only care about your father, do you understand my feelings? I have already died in this marriage!"
Seeing Liu Mei burst into tears, my heart couldn't calm down for a long time. It turned out that the pain in her heart was far deeper than I imagined. I thought that giving would make her feel happy, but I never thought about how she really felt.
"Liu Mei, I'm sorry, I'm too self-righteous. You're right, I've ignored you too much, it's my dereliction of duty as a husband. It's just that the relationship has broken down to this point, and I'm really sad. I choked up.
Liu Mei wiped away her tears and said calmly: "It's good for us to be separated, this relationship has come to an end." After a heated argument that night, the relationship between Liu Mei and I broke down completely. After that, we were all silent, and all that was left was a cold nod of the head.
After a while, Liu Mei suddenly said to me: "I want to divorce, this marriage has already existed in name, and there is no need to continue." ”
I was silent, nodded and said, "If it's your decision, I respect it." Let's negotiate the divorce peacefully. ”
"Okay, then let's talk about the distribution of children and property. Liu Mei said.
So we had a sober discussion about child custody and property division. Fortunately, we still have some rationality on these issues and have not quarreled again.
Eventually, we came to an agreement that the children would come to me for the night on weekends and holidays, the house would be owned by Liu Mei, and I would move out and live alone. Other savings are divided equally on a pro-rata basis.
"Then it's decided, I will move out as soon as possible, don't worry, child, I will take care of him and take him out to see you often. I said to Liu Mei.
"Well, after you move out, my children and I will be fine, and you have to take care of yourself. Liu Mei said lightly.
I nodded, with mixed feelings. This is the end, we will be separated forever and become passers-by in each other's lives.
Later, I moved out of the house as promised, and Liu Mei started a new life. Occasionally, when I went to pick up my children, I would see a strange man appear at Liu Mei's house. I guess that's her new love.
One day, Liu Mei said to me: "Husband, Master Wang and I are planning to get married, and we may move to other places in the future." When the time comes, the child will be handed over to you to raise, and I will let you father and son depend on each other. ”
I was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Since you have a new life, I will do my best to raise the child well." You can go and live your new life with confidence. ”
"Thank you. Liu Mei smiled slightly, and I saw a happy look on her face for the first time in a long time.
I started a new life with my children. Liu Mei would occasionally call to ask about the child's condition, and would also remit some living expenses. I no longer resent her, I just hope that she can find her own happiness.
I gradually came out of the shadow of this failed marriage and began to actively work, exercise, and make friends. In my free time, I take my kids out and do fun parent-child activities on the weekends.
As the days passed, I watched my children grow up healthy and happy, and I was left with only gratitude in my heart. Thank you Liu Mei for giving me this lovely child, and thank you for giving me a chance to start over.
There are no ifs in life, the past is in the past. I have to live in the present and work hard for my children's future.
This is the story of me and Liu Mei. We have loved and hated each other. But in the end, we still have to bless each other.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, my children and I have lived together for 5 years.
The child is already 10 years old and is becoming more and more sensible. He would take the initiative to help me with the housework and his grades were excellent. Watching him be happy every day, my life has become fuller.
It's just that sometimes I still think of the past with Liu Mei, and I can't help but sigh in my heart.
One night, my child suddenly asked me, "Dad, why doesn't my mother want me anymore?"
My heart tightened, and I whispered: "Baby, it's not that my mother doesn't want you, it's that my mother has her own new life and can't always accompany you, but she has always loved you." ”
"Then why hasn't she come to see me in five years? She doesn't love me, does she?" The child said aggrievedly.
Looking at the child's red eyes, I felt very distressed. I crouched down and hugged him and said, "Mom loves you, it's just that she lives far away now, and it's inconvenient to come and see you." When we were on video, you saw how gentle her eyes were, and she always treated you as her heart. ”
"Then why didn't she take me with her? She married another uncle, so she didn't want me!" The child began to cry.
I comforted softly: "Baby, the situation was very complicated at that time, and my mother had no choice but to do so. You have to believe that separation is good for you and me. ”
"I'll contact mom and see when she has time to come and see you. We can get together again as a family. I said softly.
The child nodded, and fell asleep in my arms. I couldn't calm down for a long time, so I decided to contact Liu Mei and let her meet the child to make up for his regrets.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and then Liu Mei whispered: "Does he miss me? I have lived a fulfilling life all these years, and I may have ignored his feelings." ”
"He's always treated you like a mother, can you take the time to come back and see him?" I asked.
"Okay, I'll go back. Next month, I'll stay at your house, and we'll talk slowly. Liu Mei said.
Hanging up, I breathed a sigh of relief. I believe that meeting the mother will heal the wounds in the child's heart.
A month later, Liu Mei arrived as promised. The child happily threw herself into her arms, and Liu Mei also hugged him tightly.
"Mom, will you come back to see me often?" The child asked.
"Yes, I will come to see you often in the future, I'm sorry that my mother hasn't been able to be by your side all these years. ”
Looking at the joy of their reunion, the big stone in my heart also fell to the ground.
