My ex-husband Xiaozhang and I divorced after 8 years of marriage. On the day of the divorce, I angrily said to him, "You should live with your mother for the rest of your life!" This was said unintentionally, but it was fulfilled in him eight years later.
Xiaozhang has a weak personality, and after the divorce, he went back to live with his mother Li Sufen. Li Sufen is a typical mother-in-law who likes to control her son. She taught Xiaozhang every day, and he listened to her.
"Xiao Zhang, there are a lot of fakes on Taobao for this dress, or I went to the mall to buy insurance in person. ”
"Okay Mom, then I'll trouble you. ”
"What are you going to eat at noon today? braised pork or shredded fish-flavored pork? Don't always eat takeout, it's not good for your health. ”
"Then braised pork. ”
Li Sufen has a strong desire to control Xiao Zhang and controls him to death. In addition to going to work, Xiao Zhang usually accompanies his mother to eat and chat. Li Sufen never let him make any decisions on his own, what clothes should be bought and worn, what dishes should be cooked and eaten, and his daily life was arranged clearly. Xiao Zhang didn't dare to disobey her.
8 years have passed, and Xiao Zhang feels that his mother's control has made him breathless. He also wants to make his own decisions and live a little bit of his own life.
"Mom, I'm in my thirties, can you take care of me and let me have some space for myself?" Xiao Zhang said tentatively.
"What your own space! If you let you decide for yourself, maybe something will go wrong!" Li Sufen scolded him mercilessly.
Xiao Zhang could only shut up and continue to be at the mercy of his mother. He often sighed to himself, feeling like a child who had not grown up.
Although Xiao Zhang is weak, he is also eager to start a family again. He met Zhang Ying on a blind date, and the two chatted very closely, and gradually fell in love. Zhang Ying is gentle and generous, and she is also very compatible with Xiaozhang. The two got along for a year and had plans to get married.
On this day, Xiaozhang plucked up the courage and told Li Sufen about it.
"Marriage, I don't agree!" Li Sufen immediately blew up, "That woman is clearly here for our family's property!"
"There's nothing to say! I don't agree to this marriage!"
Xiao Zhang explained again and again to no avail, so he could only temporarily shelve the marriage plan. He got along with Zhang Ying more, hoping to touch his mother's heart.
At this time, Xiao Zhang suddenly fell ill and was directly admitted to the intensive care unit. Li Sufen immediately came over, placed herself in the hospital to take care of her son, and instructed the head nurse: "My son's situation must be reported to me at any time, and everything must be agreed by me, do you know?"
The head nurse agreed suddenly. The power of Zhang Chi in the ward was firmly in the hands of Li Sufen. Every time the doctors and nurses want to change the dressing or inject Xiao Zhang, they also have to pass her. Once Xiaozhang wanted to eat some marshmallows, Li Sufen hurriedly stopped: "The sugar content is high, you can't eat it!"
The doctor informed Xiao Zhang that his condition was critical and hoped that he could undergo timely surgery. Li Sufen listened to it and went her own way: "I want to see if I'm critically ill! Don't keep scaring people!"
The news of Xiao Zhang's hospitalization soon reached Zhang Ying. She hurried to the hospital, but was stopped outside the ward by Li Sufen.
"Aunt Sufen, I want to see Xiao Zhang!"
"You don't deserve to come in without my consent!"
"Auntie, Xiao Zhang's situation is so serious, you let me see him for the last time!" Zhang Ying couldn't cry.
"Less self-inflicted!" Li Sufen had a cold face, "My son is not dead yet, what qualifications do you have as an outsider to see him! Our mother and son have been inseparable for eight years, how can you let an inexplicable person get involved!"
"Auntie, Xiaozhang and I really love each other. He's sick, so of course I'm going to come and take care of him. Zhang Ying was still begging bitterly.
"Really, I think you're here for my son's money!" Li Sufen dismissed mercilessly, "My son's life and death are uncertain now, what does it matter to you?"
Xiao Zhang's condition is getting more and more critical, and he has reached the point where his life is in danger. But Li Sufen still went her own way and forcibly refused the doctor's advice. The doctor recommended surgery, which she felt was too dangerous, for fear that her son would be sent to the crematorium if she was not careful. The head nurse persuaded her to ask her relatives to sign for the operation, and she scolded viciously: "It's not there yet!
Finally on a thunderstorm night, the critically ill Xiao Zhang suddenly vomited a large mouthful of blood, and his body began to convulse. Li Sufen panicked and hurriedly called for help. When the doctor arrived, he gave first aid and blamed Li Sufen for letting the patient prepare for surgery a long time ago.
"You can't save people, and you're still nagging!" Li Sufen has no intention of repenting.
But the situation was critical, and the doctors didn't bother to explain to her that rescuing Xiaozhang was the time to save her. Li Sufen was crying anxiously on the side, and she didn't dare to trouble anyone.
After a thrilling eight hours, the rescue was ineffective, and Xiao Zhang finally failed to survive. Li Sufen sat paralyzed on the ground crying and grabbing the ground, in pain. Only then did she suddenly realize that her childish mentality had killed her son. If he had followed the doctor's instructions to prepare for the operation, maybe Xiao Zhang would not have died. This idea was like a sharp knife that pierced deep into Li Sufen's heart.
After dealing with Xiao Zhang's funeral, Li Sufen returned home alone. The originally lively house was horribly deserted. Only then did she realize that she had been controlling Xiao Zhang's life and managing him too much, which was the real reason why her son left her. She blames and regrets her mistakes.
Just when Li Sufen was grief-stricken, a phone call suddenly came in. It turned out that Zhang Xiaoying came over and said that Xiao Zhang made a will before his death and left all the millions of assets to her. At this time, Li Sufen was even more devastated, and she strongly asked the court to re-examine the will.
"My good son, how could he give all the money to outsiders, his mother has served him for 8 years!" Li Sufen was furious.
After court investigation and witness testimony, it was confirmed that Zhang Xiaoying's will was true and correct. Ms. Lee repeatedly begged the judge to invalidate the will.
"Defendant Li Sufen was too controlling over her son. This is precisely the main reason why Xiao Zhang made this will. The judge calmly pronounced the verdict.
A verdict shattered Li Sufen's last luck and illusions. Only then did she realize painfully that it had been her childish mentality that had harmed her son. It's too late, regret not being at the beginning.
The court's decision was a huge stimulus for Li Sufen, and she really reflected on her dereliction of duty as a mother. It turned out that in her eyes, it was "for the good of her son", but in the eyes of her son, it was "too controlling". She had always wanted to dictate her son's life, but she ended up killing him.
This incident has become an eternal pain in Li Sufen's heart. She began to have frequent nightmares about Xiao Zhang, dreaming that he stretched out his hand to her from the hospital bed, but failed to hold it; I dreamed that he was standing in front of her and crying about her mistakes, but he couldn't hear anything. Li Sufen woke up from her dreams every time she burst into tears.
More than half a year has passed, and Li Sufen looks a lot haggard, but she is finally no longer self-centered. She re-examined her prejudice against her daughter-in-law, Zhang Ying. Zhang Ying may not be of noble birth, but she has always really loved Xiao Zhang. Now that Zhang Ying has Xiao Zhang's inheritance in her hands, Li Sufen decided to allow her to join the family as Xiao Zhang's wife.
On this day, Li Sufen came to Zhang Ying's house with gifts. Zhang Ying opened the door and saw that it was Li Sufen, and was a little surprised for a while.
"Yingying, Auntie is here to talk to you. Li Sufen's tone was full of apologies.
"Please come in. Zhang Ying let go of the door.
"Aunt Sufen, I forgive you. Zhang Ying also burst into tears.
The two women hugged each other, and Li Sufen sincerely thanked Zhang Ying for her tolerance. She solemnly said to Zhang Ying: "From now on, you will be the daughter-in-law of our family." In the next month and a half, I will go to worship Xiaozhang, and you must go with you. ”
"Definitely, Auntie. ”
Since then, Li Sufen and Zhang Ying's relationship has become closer. Zhang Ying runs the business left by Xiao Zhang, and Li Sufen often goes over to help. Li Sufen no longer repeats her mistakes, she lets Zhang Ying live the life she wants, and no longer interferes with her excessively.
Spring went to autumn, and a few more years passed in a blink of an eye. Li Sufen is also old, and her body is much weaker. She can't cook by herself, so Zhang Ying often brings delicious food made by herself to take care of her.
"Auntie, don't let yourself be tired, just tell me if you have anything. Zhang Ying shushed while peeling apples.
"You're so busy with business, how can you have time to care about me, an old woman. Li Sufen was a little reluctant.
"With me today, how can I forget Aunt Sufen's kindness to me back then!"
When Li Sufen heard this, a trace of comfort rose in her heart. Although the son has passed away for many years, the daughter-in-law has always been by her side. In her later years, someone depended on each other, which was the greatest comfort in her life.
After I learned about Li Sufen's deeds of being a new person, I was also relieved by my ex-husband Xiaozhang's mother. We can all really look forward. Perhaps, what I said in anger back then was not all bad. At least it woke up and resurrected this woman who always insisted on being wrong. This is the best ending for her.
After I heard the news of Li Sufen's reform, I visited her once in a long time. She hadn't seen her for years, her gray hair was more than black, and the wrinkles on her face were deep and shallow. But I can see that there is no longer the pampering and control in her eyes, but instead there is indifference and openness.
"Ah Zhen, you're here. "Li Sufen greeted me with micro quality.
"Uncle and aunt are okay?" I greeted me a little uncomfortably.
"Don't bend around with me, sit down. Li Sufen beckoned me to sit down across from her, "They are all old people, just say it." ”
I nodded and said bluntly, "I came here to see how you're doing." ”
"I'm doing well. Li Sufen said calmly, "You still think about Xiaozhang." If he's still around, he'd be as old as you by now. ”
"It's okay, I think about him a lot, actually. A trace of sadness flashed in Li Sufen's eyes, "Although my son is gone, fortunately, Yingying has always been with me." ”
"Zhang Yingren is really good. I asked.
"I owe her so much. Li Sufen sighed, "I was too withdrawn and radical at that time, but fortunately I have come to my senses now." In my old age, I was already very content with someone by my side. ”
I nodded and didn't answer again. In fact, I loved Xiao Zhang, and his death also made me heartbroken. But the current wrinkles on Li Sufen's face have already illustrated the changes in her heart over the years. I know that she has paid for her mistakes.
"By the way, do you remember the baby?" Li Sufen suddenly mentioned my dog and Xiao Zhang's dog.
"How's it doing now?" I was a little surprised.
"It passed away last year, with Xiao Zhang. Li Sufen said, "It can't do without Xiaozhang for the rest of its life, until the day I reunite with him." ”
I listened, and my eyes suddenly moistened. It turned out that none of the people and things around him had forgotten him.
We chatted casually for a while. Before leaving, Li Sufen took me for lunch. Zhang Ying's cooking is very much to my taste, and I can see that she takes care of this family with all her heart.
"She was very nice to me. Li Sufen looked at Zhang Ying, her eyes were full of love.
I know that this is already the best life that this family can have. Although the son died young, he changed his mother's fate with a tiny will. This was his unfulfilled wish during his lifetime.
Before leaving, I lingered for a while in front of the fifth anniversary of Xiao Zhang. His black-and-white photos are still familiar to me, but with a few more traces of wind and frost. I silently said goodbye to him inwardly, then turned away without looking back.
The most valuable asset in life is to be able to learn from your mistakes and truly look forward.
Li Sufen and I have both fallen into our own pits, but we have not been crushed by the past after all. This is already the biggest win we can win.
Time flies, and Li Sufen and I have grown old. I would visit her occasionally, glad that her old age was so warm and fulfilling. Zhang Ying took care of her meticulously, and Li Sufen also loved her as her own daughter.
When the Spring Festival was approaching again, I came to Li Sufen's house with my granddaughter Xiaoyu in my arms to send holiday greetings.
"Aunt Sufen, Happy New Year!" I smiled and hugged her, and then hugged Xiaoyu in my arms to her, "Come, meet your little great-granddaughter." ”
"Oops, I'm cute!" Li Sufen happily teased Xiaoyu. I know she's always wanted to see the flesh and blood of our generation.
"Auntie is okay?" I asked with concern.
"I'm sick and can't run anymore, but I'm in good spirits. Li Sufen said, "I just count on young people like Yingying and Xiaoyu to live with me." ”
"Then I'm relieved. Yingying is too good, her uncle has her, and her luck is uncertain. ”
"yes. Li Sufen smiled gently, her eyes full of love.
We chatted for a while about the hot topics and daily events of the moment. Before leaving, I couldn't help but ask her, "Do you still miss him?"
"Yes, all the time. Li Sufen said calmly, "But I have learned to miss without being sad." He left early, but I didn't have to grow old alone, which was the best arrangement. ”
I said to her solemnly, "Uncle, he will also be glad for your life today." ”
"I know. Li Sufen smiled slightly, her eyes revealing relief.
I hugged Xiaoyu and turned to leave, with mixed feelings in my heart. Many years ago, I made a brand new home. This family has experienced the painful baptism of life and death, but it has been reunited because of a last word.
The most precious treasure in the world is to cherish the present and the future.
Two years later, I received an obituary from Li Sufen in my hometown. She died peacefully in her old age at the age of ninety-one. All the people she loved before her death came to the funeral ceremony of her body, and her ashes were finally buried with her son Xiaozhang.
"Aunt Sufen's life is finally complete. I said to Zhang Ying.
"She has lived very well over the years, and I have done my best to take care of her. Zhang Ying couldn't hold back her tears, "I'll miss her." ”
"With you, uncle, they will also be blind. I comforted her softly.
Life is connected by love, and death is eternal because of love.
Many years ago, I said that to my ex-husband in anger. Now that the people are gone, I finally fully understand and let go.
That sentence has made a new home and a new future. That's what it's all about, and it's the most precious gift in this life.
At the end of the story, I would like to meet Li Sufen and Xiao Zhang again in the spirit of heaven.
After a few more years, I was on the verge of death due to a serious illness. Before I died, I was lying on the bed and suddenly saw Li Sufen and Xiaozhang standing in the ward.
Their figures are blurry and so familiar, Xiao Zhang is still the same as back then, and Li Sufen is also full of vitality. I looked at them in amazement, unable to believe my eyes.
"Ah Zhen, we're here to take you away. Li Sufen said to me gently.
"Take me away? I was a little afraid to face death.
"Don't be afraid, it'll be fine there. Xiao Zhang finally spoke, and his voice was just like I remembered.
That's when I realized that I was really going to leave and go to a whole new place with them.
"Kid, it's time to go. "Li Sufen held out her hand to me. I took a deep breath and took her hand.
Then I saw my soul emerge from my body and soar upwards with them. It was unexpectedly calm and peaceful, and I didn't feel the slightest pain.
"We're here. "I don't know how long it took me to find myself in a beautiful garden, surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery.
"Is this heaven? It's beautiful. "I was amazed.
"We had a great stay here and you will love it in the future. Xiao Zhang had a shy smile on his face that I was familiar with.
"Child, I owe you so much. Li Sufen apologized.
"I forgive you, Auntie. "I said frankly.
Li Sufen nodded, tears of gratitude in her eyes. I know she's been waiting for this moment for too long, too long.
"Come home with us, Yingying made your favorite dish!" Xiao Zhang pulled me and was about to leave.
"Ying Ying is also here?" I asked happily.
"We are always together as a family. He turned his head to look at me.
I followed them to a beautiful little house in the mountains. Pushing open the door, Zhang Ying was busy preparing meals for us in the kitchen.
"Sister Azhen, you're here!" She hugged me happily.
"Thank you for taking care of them all the time. I say from the bottom of my heart.
"I just want to thank you for bringing us together. Tears welled up in her eyes.
A few of us sat around the table, and the aroma of food came to our noses. I know I'm going to love life here.
Life is like this, love forever. This is the ending I have been waiting for for a long time.
