My name is Xiao Wang, I am 32 years old, I work as a programmer in an Internet company, and I have been married to my wife Xiao Zhao for 5 years. Xiao Zhao's mother's name is Li Lianhua, who is 68 years old this year and is a typical patriarchal rural woman in the north.
I have always had a good relationship with my mother-in-law, respecting her as my own mother, and I didn't take care of her during the holidays. Unexpectedly, just last month, my mother-in-law suddenly said that she would buy a house for each of her two sons, completely excluding my son-in-law.
I was so angry that after a big fight with my mother-in-law, she was hospitalized in an accident. Where is this quarrel going to take our relationship?
"Shameless, I still want a house!" Li Lianhua glared at me with disdain, as if I was an insatiable black sheep. I was so angry that I couldn't speak, I just felt that my eyes were dark and my head was "buzzing".
Originally, the family was happy at the dinner table, but my mother-in-law suddenly said that she wanted to buy a house for her two sons, and I jokingly asked: "What about mine?" Unexpectedly, she was so angry that her eyes were red.
I hurriedly explained that it wasn't serious, she just didn't listen, she had to throw dirty water on me, and repeatedly emphasized that she would only take care of her own son.
My heart felt like it had been stomped on, and I just felt like I couldn't breathe. Obviously, I have taken meticulous care of her all these years, why has I become "insatiable"? I am the greatest son-in-law in the world, okay!
The meal was not very tasty. Xiao Zhao persuaded me in my ear not to take it to heart, but I couldn't hold it back, and I was sulking until 11 o'clock at night.
At this time, a loud noise suddenly sounded, which seemed to come from Li Lianhua's room. Xiao Zhao and I were startled and hurriedly ran over to check the situation. I saw that Li Lianhua had fallen to the ground, her face was pale and motionless.
"Mom!" Xiao Zhao shouted heartbrokenly, dialing 120. Although I have resentment in my heart, I can't care so much at the moment, so I stepped forward to set up Li Lianhua's body to check if there was any major problem. Fortunately, she only fainted suddenly, and her life was not in danger.
After hurriedly sending the ambulance away, Xiao Zhao and I looked at each other. With tears in her eyes, she blamed herself for not bothering with her mother, and I regretted that I shouldn't have been so excited to argue with the old man. We hugged each other for warmth and waited for the dawn of the coming day.
I didn't sleep well on the night shift, and I didn't close my eyes all night. When it was dawn, I drove to the hospital to see my mother-in-law.
As soon as I entered the ward, I saw that Li Lianhua was full of tubes and was receiving a drip. Her face finally improved, but she was still very weak. I felt a strong sense of guilt in my heart, and hurried to her bed, saying in a trembling voice, "Mom, I'm sorry, it's all my fault." You must take care of yourself!"
Unexpectedly, Li Lianhua had already choked up: "Silly child, Mom understands your mind。。。。。。 It's all mom who is ignorant, you forgive mom for this old bone.
My mother-in-law and I hugged each other with tears streaming down my face. At this moment, I finally understood that no matter what happens, family affection is the most precious treasure in this life.
After being discharged from the hospital, my mother-in-law treated me like two people, and she supported and cared for me everywhere. I gladly accepted it, after all, she was old, and I shouldn't have anything to do with her.
But just a few months after we got along in harmony, Li Lianhua's favoritism returned. She puts on a stinky face to me and Xiao Zhao every day, and when she meets her eldest son Xiao Ming, her face is immediately full of smiles, and she is very attentive to ask for warmth.
I endured and endured, and finally at a banquet I couldn't bear it anymore. Because I arranged for Xiao Zhao and her husband to sit in the main seat, Li Lianhua raised her eyebrows and was angry at me on the spot. I rushed out of the door with red eyes, wandering alone in the cold wind until dawn.
Perhaps this is the tragedy of fate, and there is no possibility of reconciliation between me and this paranoid old lady.
In the twilight of life, prejudice and obsession are often deeper. This is a torture of family affection and ideals, should I continue to endure it, or let it go decisively?
Perhaps all relationships need to be constantly repaired and tolerated. Am I also partly responsible for this misunderstanding?
Looking forward to your perspective.
