My name is Li Siming, I am 28 years old, and I am a programmer. My girlfriend Lin Xiaoting and I have been in love for 5 years, and we are finally about to enter the palace of marriage.
I was a little caught off guard and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry, I have a stable job in the company and the salary is good." I will take good care of Xiaoting and create a warm home for her. "
Zheng Rong sneered: "I'm farting when I treat you as a person! Look at you like this, you are a jobless vagrant." I don't think you can afford to support my family Xiaoting at all!"
Xiaoting hurriedly persuaded her mother: "Mom, what are you talking about! Siming is really good in the company, and his salary is higher than mine." "
Zheng Rong glanced at her daughter: "What do you know? Follow this stinky man, you will only suffer in the future!"
Xiaoting and I looked at each other, not knowing how to refute for a while.
After a few days, the wedding day finally arrived. Early in the morning, Zheng Rong took Xiaoting to do her hair, and she had to wear a heavy makeup.
Xiaoting was a little unhappy: "Mom, I want to wear light makeup, it's more natural." "
Zheng Rong couldn't tell the difference: "Today is your big day, you must have exquisite makeup!"
"What's the matter, isn't my daughter beautiful?" Zheng Rong said proudly.
I barely managed to pull out a smile: "It's beautiful, just a little too formal." "
Zheng Rong's face sank: "It makes sense for me to let her put on makeup like this! In the future, if she follows you, the days will be more bitter than happy, can't she dress up beautifully today and leave a good memory?"
"Mom, I'm really tired, we're almost fine. Xiaoting begged for mercy.
"Today is the most important day of your life, what's the matter with taking a few more photos!" Zheng Rong couldn't help but say, "Give her makeup again!"
The makeup artist had to go into battle again, priming Xiaoting, touching up powder, drawing eyebrows, dotting eyelashes, and applying lipstick. I couldn't stand it, so I walked over and said to Zheng Rong: "Auntie, Xiaoting is already very beautiful, don't go too far." ”
"You know what!" Zheng Rong said viciously, "Go away, don't get in the way!"
I stepped aside, a wave of anger rising in my heart. Zheng Rong is so inconsiderate to Xiaoting like this, she is simply abusing her daughter.
Finally, Zheng Rong was satisfied and asked Xiaoting to go home to change her wedding dress. Xiaoting's whole body collapsed, and I helped her into the locker room.
"Siming, I'm sorry, my mom went too far. Xiaoting sat down in her chair with no strength.
"It's okay, it's all for today. I comforted her, "You can rest for a while, I'll be outside on guard." ”
By the time Xiaoting finally changed into her dress and came out, another hour had passed. The smile on her face was very forced, as if she had forced a smile.
"It's beautiful!" I am truly amazed.
Xiaoting pulled out a tired smile and soon ushered in a group of guests. Everyone rushed up and sent their blessings to Xiaoting.
I sneered inwardly. With Zheng Rong's attitude towards me, she is obviously talking back.
The wedding went smoothly and we had a drink, pastry and chat with all the guests. Finally, Zheng Rong announced the most important courtship ceremony.
That's the only part I'm nervous about. According to traditional wedding customs, the groom should kneel down to the bride to make the greatest bow to show respect and sincerity.
Zheng Rong gave me a pack of cigarettes, meaning to let me line up the cigarettes. This means that the bride will be my support for the rest of my life. She handed me a couple of red envelopes to stick on the wall. Xiaoting held a few lit incense sticks in her hand, ready for me to light them after I arranged the font. I followed Zheng Rong's request, put the cigarette away, and then pasted the red envelope. The preparations have been done very carefully, and I believe that Zheng Rong should be satisfied.
I knelt on the ground, and Zheng Rong motioned for Xiaoting to come over and light incense. At this moment, her tone suddenly changed, and she said to me coldly: "The gift you gave is too shabby, not sincere enough! Xiaoting, don't light incense, wait for him to increase it!"
I was startled, and hurriedly took out a pile of cash from my pocket and added a gold necklace to barely meet Zheng Rong's requirements.
Xiaoting finally lit the incense candle, and I officially bowed to her three times and bowed nine times, but there was a burst of anger in my heart.
Why did Zheng Rong make things difficult for me at such a time?
I finally endured it until the end of the ceremony, and my legs were numb on my knees. Zheng Rong announced that she had entered the flower ball grabbing session, and the guests were scurrying around in a hurry, scrambling for the flower balls in mid-air.
"Enough is enough, the flower ball is here!" A drunk man suddenly shouted and snatched the flower ball.
"Who are you, give me the flower balls!" Zheng Rong was furious.
But the man did not listen, but fell crookedly and went out, and the flower ball in his hand fell to the ground.
"My flower balls!" Zheng Rong screamed and rushed out. Xiaoting and I looked at each other, and the atmosphere of the wedding instantly froze.
After a few minutes, Zheng Rong came back breathless, holding the crumpled flower ball in her hand. She sat down and said to us with a grim face, "You two kneel down for me! Without kneeling, today's wedding won't count!"
Xiaoting and I looked at each other, not to mention how depressed we were. Xiaoting knelt down with red eyes, but I didn't say anything.
"Li Siming, what are you dissatisfied with a stinky boy!" Zheng Rong glared at me.
"There is dissatisfaction!" I finally couldn't help but burst out, "What do you mean by making things difficult for us from beginning to end? Do you have to torture us to death to be happy?"
"You!" Zheng Rong pointed at me, "Today's wedding is to embarrass you!
"Zheng Rong, you're too much!" This time it was Xiaoting's turn to be furious, "We're going to kneel down to show you at the end, are you happy then?"
"That's not your business!" Zheng Rong yelled, "Shut up and kneel down obediently!"
I took a deep breath, took Xiaoting's hand and said, "Let's go, let's not kneel!
After speaking, I pulled Xiaoting and walked out. Zheng Rong was stunned, and it took a few seconds to react: "You guys come back for me!" Li Siming, you brute, I'm not done with you!"
I left without looking back, opened the car door and sat in with Xiaoting. I kicked the accelerator and the car sped out of the hotel. Xiaoting sat in the co-pilot, and tears finally couldn't help but burst out of her eyes.
I gently patted her on the shoulder: "Don't be sad, let's get out of here and start a new life." You'll talk about it later. "
"We've been putting up with Zheng Rong for a long time, and she doesn't take us seriously at all. I said firmly, "Leaving her is the best option for all of us." "
Xiaoting was silent, and only the sound of her whimpering was left in the car.
I drove all the way until the gasoline bottomed out and then filled up in a small county town. It was getting late, and Xiaoting and I found a small hotel in the county seat to stay.
The room was basic but enough for the two of us. Xiaoting took off her heavy wedding dress, and finally showed a relieved expression on her face.
"What are we going to do next?" She asked, leaning on my shoulder.
"I will continue to work for the company. I said, "Do you want to get a job?" "
"Okay, I'll listen to you. As long as you're here, I'm already happy. Xiaoting smiled sweetly.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Xiaoting and fell asleep.
Xiaoting and I quickly moved in. Although the apartment is simple, it is spacious for two people. In the following days, I continued to work overtime at the company to earn money, and Xiaoting found a job as a salesperson at a nearby supermarket.
Life is very hard, but at least we are together, and no one bothers to point fingers.
In this way, after more than half a year, I finally saved enough money to propose to Xiaoting again. This time, without Zheng Rong here, the marriage proposal process went exceptionally smoothly. I knelt in front of Xiaoting, she lit the candles in the room, and then nodded her head crying.
We're engaged again! This time, we'll be together forever, and no one will interfere anymore.
Xiaoting couldn't cry when she called, and I immediately decided to accompany her back to her hometown to see Zheng Rong for the last time.
When we rushed back to our hometown, Zheng Rong was already dying, and there were several relatives standing in front of the hospital bed. They were all amazed to see us return.
"You're back?" Xiaoting's uncle looked us up and down.
Xiaoting ignored them and knelt directly in front of the bed crying "Mom". I also stood silently behind her.
On the day of the funeral, many people came to the village to see them off. I stood by the pool and watched Zheng Rong's coffin sink into the water little by little. Xiaoting was already crying to the point of hoarseness, and several female relatives were supporting her beside her.
"It's all you! You killed my mother!" The uncle of the relatives pointed at us and scolded.
I silently hugged Xiaoting and walked out of the cemetery. The scolding from our relatives continued, but none of us looked back.
Back in the county, Xiaoting and I lived a life day and night. Xiaoting cried all day long, and there was nothing I could do but guard her.
We all understood that Zheng Rong's death was due to the fact that after the wedding that day, our departure brought her too much stimulation. But what can we do? We can't bear it anymore in the face of her troubles.
I hugged her tightly, and I was speechless for a moment. Indeed, if he hadn't left in a hurry that day, maybe Zheng Rong wouldn't have died so soon. However, I know that the culprit of all this is Zheng Rong's troubles for the two of us.
We struggled with self-blame and pain for most of the year. Until one day, a lawyer came to us and said that Zheng Rong had made a will before she died.
"What? will?" We looked at each other.
We were stunned. Zheng Rong is so fierce to us, but she left it to us before she died?
The lawyer took out another envelope from his bag, which read "To Siming and Xiaoting". We trembled and opened the envelope, and inside was a long letter written by Zheng Rong herself.
"My dear daughter Xiaoting and son-in-law Siming:
If you receive this letter, I don't think I'll be alive anymore. In my last days, I thought a lot about the past, and I knew that I had gone too far with you, and I wanted to apologize to you.
When you left at the wedding, I was so angry that I had a heart attack. I can't find your whereabouts, I can't sleep all day, I can't eat, my health is getting worse.
Until recently, my condition suddenly deteriorated to the point where I could not be cured. That's when I realized that when I was younger, I was too impulsive and didn't respect and understand you. Now that I think about it, you were forgiven for leaving.
So, on my deathbed, I decided to leave all my possessions to you. This is the only apology and compensation I can give you in the end. By accepting my will, you are forgiving me.
Siming, I misread you at the beginning. Now I know that you really love Xiaoting. In the future, in the spirit of heaven, I will bless you to grow old together.
The handwriting on the letter is crooked, and it can be seen that Zheng Rong is in pain and trembling when she writes the letter. By the end of the day, the handwriting was sloppy.
Xiaoting cried heartbreakingly, and I also had red circles under my eyes. We hugged each other and cried for a long time, and then we gradually calmed down.
"Siming, shall we go back to our hometown?" Xiaoting asked me, "I want to sweep my mother's grave every year and come back in a few days." ”
I nodded, also remembering the scenery of my hometown.
A few days later, we returned to our hometown with Zheng Rong's ashes and cleaned up her graveyard properly. Then, Xiaoting began to take care of the old house and redecorate it.
I went on to find a job in a high-tech park near my hometown. Now, we're ready to settle down here. Although we have gone through ups and downs, at least, we never have to leave our families and homeland again.
I would often come to Zheng Rong's grave and whisper to the black tombstone, "Mom, we're back." You can see in the Heavenly Spirit that we will be together forever. ”
I know that Zheng Rong can finally rest in peace in another world.
