When I learned that my brother was going to bring back a new sister-in-law, my mother called me as soon as she received the news and asked me to come home early and clean up the house with her.
There wasn't enough room at home, so she asked me to vacate the room for my new sister-in-law. My mother was afraid that her new sister-in-law would not be used to it, so she bought a new bed. It's a big deal for my brother to bring back his new sister-in-law. I had just finished my work and rushed home.
The ex-sister-in-law was not in good health, and she had physical problems during pregnancy, and as a result, both the adult and the child were gone. My brother was devastated by this and was depressed for several years.
We've been hoping that he'll get back on his feet, but that's something that can be solved with a single word. It wasn't until his brother met his new sister-in-law that he regained his confidence and courage in life. Therefore, our family attaches great importance to this meeting.
I was busy with my parents for two days, and I accompanied my mother to the market and bought a lot of things. Finally, the day before my brother came back, I was done. My mother suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, how did I forget such an important thing!"
After speaking, she hurriedly opened the cabinet of New Year's goods, picked and picked, packed a bag of things, and hurriedly went out, without saying where she was going. In the past, my mother would send New Year's goods to her relatives in advance, and I didn't pay much attention to it.
Unexpectedly, my mother sent New Year's goods this time, and there was a problem.

My brother finally brought his new sister-in-law home, and looking at the happy smile on his face, I couldn't connect him with the haggard and decadent man I used to have.
The new sister-in-law is a generous person, and she doesn't have the twist of going to the man's house for the first time, and she can talk to us. My mother was very enthusiastic about her, and prepared more than a dozen dishes during the meal, including cold and hot dishes, and gave her a big red envelope.
The new sister-in-law was not polite and happily accepted it. She said she loved the atmosphere of our house and the food my mom cooked. The first meeting was very pleasant, my parents were very happy, and my brother was also very happy.
In the evening, the new sister-in-law moved into the room we had prepared for her, and I slept in one room with my mother.
My mother sighed and said, "Seeing that your brother loves to talk and laugh now, I am relieved." During the time your sister-in-law is at home, you should treat her well, and if she is bored at home, you can take her to the street to buy things. Don't snub her. ”
My mom babbled so much that I couldn't even open my eyes. The next day after breakfast, my brother and I took our new sister-in-law to the market to buy some fireworks suitable for girls.
There were many people in the bazaar, and my brother was holding the hand of his new sister-in-law, for fear of losing her. We walked from one stall to another, and while we were picking up fireworks, someone suddenly called my brother's name.
The shouter was an old lady whose hair was half white. She said excitedly: "Chen Feng, you are back." Why hasn't my Xiaolu come back? Who is this?" the old lady asked suspiciously, pointing to her new sister-in-law next to her brother.
My brother's face turned white, and he couldn't speak for a while.

The old lady suddenly shouted angrily: "How can you go shopping with other women behind Xiaolu's back, do you want to be shameless!"
After saying that, she stretched out her hand to hit her brother. The brother stood motionless, letting her beat.
I was so frightened that I hurried over and grabbed my brother. At this time, an old man ran up from behind her, grabbed her, and said, "I'm sorry, my wife is confused again." Let's go, hurry home. ”
I thought the old man and the old lady were a little familiar, but for a moment I couldn't remember where I had seen them. The old lady kept staring at her new sister-in-law, and she couldn't pull it away.
The old man also saw his brother and new sister-in-law at this time, and when he saw the two holding hands, his face was not good.
I suddenly remembered that these two were the parents of my ex-sister-in-law. I've seen it twice before, but I didn't expect that in just a few years, the two of them would grow old like this.
Suddenly, a young man ran towards the two old men, gasped and said, "Mom and Dad, why did you come here, I can find it?" What are you looking at?"
He suddenly saw his brother, his eyes lit up, and he casually shouted, "Brother-in-law!"
Immediately, when he saw the woman next to his brother, he immediately reacted and said apologetically: "My mother is a little confused now, I'll take her back first." Well, I'm sorry, we recognized the wrong person. ”
After saying that, he gave the old man a look and took the old lady away. The old lady was reluctant to leave, and was still shouting: "Chen Feng, you can't do anything to be sorry for Xiaolu." ”
After the old lady made such a fuss, we didn't have the heart to go shopping, so I had to take my brother and new sister-in-law back. The elder brother's face was pale and he did not speak. The new sister-in-law's face is not very good. I tried to adjust the atmosphere, but it didn't work.

When I got home, I told my mom about what had happened on the street. My mom was also shocked. She suddenly said: "It's all my fault, if I hadn't delivered New Year's goods to my in-laws yesterday, maybe she wouldn't have remembered your brother, and she wouldn't have recognized him today." ”
I was surprised and asked, "Mom, what do you mean by that?"
It turned out that after the death of her ex-sister-in-law, my mother considered that her parents' parents would miss her daughter even more during the New Year's holidays. So over the years, she has given a copy of the New Year's goods that her ex-sister-in-law prepared for her parents when she was alive.
The mother of the former sister-in-law was hit by the sudden death of her daughter, and her spirit has become worse and worse in the past few years. My mother felt pitiful for her, and her ex-sister-in-law didn't have it because she had a baby, so she felt a little guilty.
Yesterday, my mother hurriedly went out to deliver something, which was for my ex-sister-in-law's parents. Unexpectedly, this move made the old lady remember my brother. Coincidentally, we also encountered it on the set. It's troublesome now, what does this make the new sister-in-law think?
I complained to my mother, "You can send it a few days in advance, or a few days later." ”
Mom said, "I didn't forget to be busy, I should have sent it over earlier." Can't send it late, and if it's too late, it's the New Year. ”
My mother's intentions are good, but because of this kindness, I don't know how it will affect my brother.

What should I do now? My brother has been decadent for several years, and he finally met someone he liked. What will he do if this marriage is a? We were all a little worried.
After thinking about it, I discussed with my mother, let's not hide it, and tell the new sister-in-law about the former sister-in-law and the New Year's goods. If the new sister-in-law can accept it, of course, it is the best. If she can't accept it, my brother won't necessarily be happy with her.
I told my brother in advance about my decision and my mother, and he was silent for a while, and finally nodded.
Then, I went to my new sister-in-law's house and told her all the reasons for my ex-sister-in-law's death. At the same time, I said that we didn't mean to embarrass her, we all liked her very much, and we hoped that she would be a family with us.
The new sister-in-law listened quietly, and finally said, "I understand your kindness. But this is your brother's business with me after all, and I still have to see what he thinks. ”
When I got out of my new sister-in-law, I went to my brother and told him the results of my communication with my new sister-in-law.
I said to my brother, "Brother, I know you're embarrassed, but you have to take the initiative to talk about it, otherwise my sister-in-law will feel uncomfortable." The past is gone, let's cherish the people in front of us. That's what you need to deal with......"
My brother nodded and went to find his sister-in-law. They closed the door and communicated for a long time, and we were all a little apprehensive.
That evening, a guest came to our house. That person was the younger brother of my former sister-in-law, the young man we met at the set. I was very upset to see him and asked him what he was doing here.
He smiled embarrassedly, saying that he was afraid that his brother-in-law's new daughter-in-law would misunderstand, so he came over to explain. I tried to chase him away, but we were talking so loudly that my new sister-in-law heard her in the house, and she went out into the yard.
The brother of the former sister-in-law looked at her and said, "That, I want to explain, my mother has been a little confused in the past two years, she thought my sister was still there, so she misunderstood...... She's not usually like that. ”
"Actually, brother-in-law, oh, it's brother, he's a good guy. If you marry him, he will be very good to you. There is also my brother's mother, who is also a kind-hearted person. That's all I have to say. ”
With that, he ran out of the gate. I saw that my new sister-in-law's face seemed to soothe a little.
To be honest, I was quite touched by the behavior of my former sister-in-law's younger brother.

That night, my family didn't sleep well. The next morning, my mother woke up early, and I accompanied her to the vegetable garden to pick fresh vegetables and prepare to make steamed buns.
By the time we got home, the sun was out, and my new sister-in-law and brother were standing and talking in the yard. I saw my brother holding my new sister-in-law's hand, and a smile appeared on his face that he hadn't seen in a long time.
My mom and I both stopped, and my mom's eyes were a little red.
The new sister-in-law suddenly saw us, and she shouted at us, "Mom, little sister, where have you been? I didn't see you just now." Are you going to cook now? I'll help. ”
My mom was about to refuse, but I took her hand and quickly said to my new sister-in-law, "Okay, sister-in-law, let's cook together." ”
Looking at my sister-in-law's appearance, I know that my brother should have told her all about his past. That past, for my brother, was the deepest wound in his heart. Since he said it, it means that he dares to face it.
And my sister-in-law's choice to stay is equivalent to completely recognizing my brother.
Before, when my brother and his new sister-in-law fell in love, they only said that their ex-wife died unexpectedly, and they didn't tell her anything else. Unexpectedly, this time, they came back, and by chance, these things happened.
Come to think of it, it's not a bad thing. After all, they always have to face it, and it's better to face it early than later. The ex-sister-in-law's family is not a bad person either, and they are also very good. None of us want to have accidents, but there are many things that are beyond our control.
In winter, the sun is just right, the bright sunlight shines on the body, and the heart is warm. The birds in the trees were chirping, as if to say that happy days were coming.
