That day, I suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized, and only one of my three sons-in-law came to visit. It is said that the son-in-law is half a son, but my half son is not as good as the son-in-law of my neighbor Lao Zhang. The son-in-law not only accompanies him every day, but also cooks stewed soup and takes care of it carefully. And here I am, deserted, only the sound of footsteps.
I sighed, mixed feelings. When my daughter got married, I used all my savings to buy them a house and a car. Now, I'm sick and hospitalized, and they're so indifferent.
On the day I was discharged from the hospital, I decided to talk to my son-in-law. I asked him, "Why are you doing this to me?" and he was silent for a moment and said, "Mom, you have always treated me as an outsider, and I can't do anything right." You are so good to the eldest sister and the second sister's family, but how can they treat you?"
When I heard this, it dawned on me. It turned out that it was not the son-in-law who was not filial, it was my own partiality that caused all this. I reflected on myself and decided that in the future, I would treat everyone equally and no longer be partial.
At the same time, I also told my son-in-law: "Don't come to see me after you are discharged from the hospital, and spend more time with your parents." It's enough for me to have your eldest sister and second sister here. I know that I may offend him after saying this, but I don't want my partiality to cause more unnecessary misunderstandings.
