Wang Fengying married her ex-husband through the order of her parents. The life after marriage was completely unexpected by her, and she realized that her husband's nature was difficult to change, and he was a man who ate inside and out.
His monthly salary is not high, but he spends almost all of it on his own, and he has always been mean and stingy with his family's expenses. Wang Fengying had to ask him often for money for the sake of the child's expenses.
Who knew that every time his wife stretched out her hand to herself, his face was ugly, and he angrily asked Wang Fengying, what can you do all day long besides asking for money? Wang Fengying felt aggrieved and sad, but she couldn't refute it.
If it weren't for her parents' frequent funding for living expenses, she really didn't know how this family of three would survive.
Wang Fengying once had the idea of divorce, but her parents opposed it in every way, insisting that women are most afraid of the stigma of divorce. So Wang Fengying could only swallow all the grievances and live a difficult life in this indifferent family.
It can be said that those years of married life were almost a disaster for her. The relationship between her and her husband broke down, and they resented each other, and they could no longer find the love they had in their original marriage.
When Wang Fengying was 48 years old, her fate changed dramatically. The husband was suddenly diagnosed with a terminal illness, and the doctor diagnosed him with terminal cancer, and his life was short.
Although many years of married life have long been as cold as water, Wang Fengying still takes care of it, hoping that her husband's last days can be comfortable and peaceful. However, life finally succumbed to illness, and only half a year later, Wang Fengying's husband closed the last page in this world with a heavy sigh.
For Wang Fengying, the death of her husband was not complete grief, but like relief. She regained her independent life and was no longer subject to a cold, mean man.
Wang Fengying thought that the rest of my life could be spent happily alone, and my world finally found light.
However, just when Wang Fengying was just getting used to the rhythm of a person's life, her daughter also flew out of the warm nest and started her own married life. Now my daughter comes home less and less, and even if she comes back occasionally, she leaves in a hurry.
Wang Fengying's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness and loneliness. Suddenly, she realizes that she really needs a life partner so that there will be life in the empty house.
After Wang Fengying told her daughter about this idea, her daughter also agreed that her mother should find another confidant so that she could spend the rest of her life happily. Seeing her daughter's expressions of support, Wang Fengying immediately found a local matchmaker and asked her to help find a suitable partner.
As soon as the news came out, there was a quick response. The matchmaker introduced an old gentleman who was 5 years older than Wang Fengying, named Lao Chen, who had retired and worked as a steel plate shoemaker before.
The first time the two met was at Lao Chen's house. Wang Fengying saw that Lao Chen's house was clean and tidy, and Lao Chen was also polite, and the two had a very happy conversation. Wang Fengying's first impression of Lao Chen was very good.
However, when Wang Fengying and Lao Chen remarried for a year, there was a rift in their relationship.
One day, Lao Chen found Wang Fengying with a serious expression and said that there was something at home that needed her help. It turned out that Lao Chen's son wanted to buy a property, but his savings were not enough, and he wanted to borrow 200,000 yuan from Wang Fengying to make up the down payment.
Lao Chen said earnestly that he would pay back the money when his son's condition improved.
Wang Fengying hesitated. Such a large sum of money is equal to all her savings. Moreover, it is difficult to say whether the son will really repay the loan on time in the future.
After careful consideration, Wang Fengying still refused Lao Chen's request. She said that she would do her best if she could lend tens of thousands, but 200,000 was too much, and that was her pension security.
Unexpectedly, when Lao Chen heard this answer, his face suddenly changed. Since that day, he has been lukewarm and ignorant of Wang Fengying. Wang Fengying felt very sad and aggrieved, she tried to communicate with Lao Chen, but Lao Chen always avoided the topic.
After this back and forth, the relationship between husband and wife became more and more indifferent.
After careful consideration, Wang Fengying made a difficult decision - if Lao Chen continued to snub herself like this, she would file for divorce.
Wang Fengying thought that even if she was her own child, she couldn't easily lend such a large amount of money, let alone Lao Chen's son. She understands that Lao Chen wants to help her son realize his dream of buying a house, but this should not come at the expense of his own interests.
A wise family should solve the problem through compromise between both parties, rather than unilaterally forcing it.
Undoubtedly, choosing a divorce is by no means an easy task for Wang Fengying. After all, living alone at this age, the future is bleak, and she herself is uneasy. However, being entangled with a person who does not understand and respect herself and continues to endure cold violence is even more painful for Wang Fengying.
A relationship needs two people to maintain together, and if Lao Chen is unwilling to communicate well with him, then this family business has broken down. For the sake of her dignity, Wang Fengying made up her mind that if Lao Chen did not change her attitude, she would leave decisively and start a new life.
Through Wang Fengying's story, we can deeply reflect on some issues. In contemporary society, many middle-aged people choose to remarry, but this is both beautiful and difficult.
Economic differences, differences over children's education, and lack of adaptation to living habits can all become hidden dangers that destroy marriages. When a rift arises, should we back down and compromise, or stick to our own principles? This needs to be carefully considered by both sides.
On the other hand, everyone should know how to cherish themselves and cherish their own happiness. Life is short, and we have the right to pursue a good life. If a relationship has become a mental shackle, even if it will be painful to end, it is wiser than wasting time in the wrong relationship.
Only by choosing bravely can we open up new possibilities.
