That afternoon, I was doing housework at home when the doorbell rang suddenly. I went to open the door and saw my mother-in-law standing at the door with a large package.
"Fangfang, I am old, I will live with you in the future, you must serve me well. The mother-in-law said without warning.
I was taken aback by her sudden arrival and wanted to refuse, but seeing her full of gray hair, I couldn't bear to drive her away. "Mother-in-law, why didn't you come here without saying hello first?" I asked tentatively.
"Hey, where do I need to trouble you with this old bone, I just came here. The mother-in-law said nonchalantly, "Get out of the way, I'll move things in first." "
I had to get out of the way and watch her enter the house with her heavy luggage. Xiao Ming poked his head out of the room and asked suspiciously, "Mom, why is my mother-in-law here?"
"Oh, my mother-in-law said she was going to stay with us in the future. I explained.
When her mother-in-law heard it, she immediately interjected and said, "That's it, Xiao Ming, your mother-in-law will take care of you in the future, you have to listen to your mother-in-law." "
Xiao Ming looked at me with some embarrassment. I know he's uncomfortable with the sudden addition of an elder.
As soon as my mother-in-law arrived, she ran rampant in the house and pointed out my way of doing things. When cooking, she thought I couldn't cook home-cooked food, so she grabbed the spatula and cooked it herself.
"Fangfang, your stir-fry skills are too bad. She muttered, "Look at it, these greens are all old, just mix some pickles, why bother?"
I looked at the greens in the pot, although they were a little old, I thought they were still fresh, and they weren't as bad as she said. But I didn't refute it, I just let her go.
The same is true when tidying up the room, she is always picking on my bad habits. "Fangfang, look at it, the floor is full of dust, you have to clean it often. "She was wiping down the floor and lecturing to me.
The most annoying thing is that she always speaks ill of me in front of her son Xiao Ming, saying that I am not virtuous if I am divorced, and criticizes me as useless. "Xiao Ming, look at your mother, she hasn't even taken care of her home, you have to learn a little more, you can't be like her in the future. "
Every time I hear her say this, I feel ashamed, but it is not easy to attack, so I can only hold back the anger in my heart.
After my mother-in-law came, she began to do everything possible to isolate me and pull Xiao Ming to her side completely. When cooking, she would let Xiao Ming say that the food I made was unpalatable.
"Xiao Ming, try this dish made by your mother, isn't it too salty?" She would deliberately say it in front of Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming was induced by her, and also learned to nod: "Well, my mother's craftsmanship is still a little worse." "
I felt very bad when I heard it, but I couldn't help it.
When tidying up the room, she would ask Xiao Ming to say that I was making a mess. "Fangfang, look at it, even Xiao Ming's room is so messy, how did I teach you that this is not good?"
Xiao Ming will also echo on the side: "Yes, Mom, the room is too messy." "
She also often pulled Xiao Ming aside, criticized my divorce behavior, said that I was an immoral woman, and taught Xiao Ming to be in awe of me.
"Xiao Ming, do you know why your mother was divorced by your father? It is because she is too inappropriate that she will let your father find a new love. You don't want to learn from her. "
Xiao Ming listened and lowered his head in shame.
Gradually, Xiao Ming became more and more estranged from me, and sometimes even dictated to me, and simply regarded me as a servant. Once, when I was doing housework, Xiao Ming shouted, "Mom, where are my socks, bring them to me!"
I had no choice but to get socks for him, and I was very aggrieved.
I am deeply saddened by the changes in my son. Xiao Ming is the meat of my heart, how much I love him, but now I am treated like this by him, my heart seems to have been hollowed out of a big hole.
In the dead of night, I often lie alone in bed and toss and turn thinking about this question. Sometimes she cries bitterly, and sometimes she has a hatred for her mother-in-law. This ambivalence almost drove me crazy.
One day, my mother-in-law said something cruel to me and once again pushed me into a corner. At noon that day, Xiao Ming commanded me again and asked me to serve him dinner. I was about to do it, but my mother-in-law grabbed me.
"Fangfang, you just listen to Xiao Ming's words like this, he disrespects you so much, what are you used to him doing?" The mother-in-law reprimanded.
I was stunned, and I actually had such a small question in my heart.
When my mother-in-law saw that I was hesitating, she continued to say cruelly: "If you are disobedient again, I will let Xiao Ming move out to live with his father, and then you will have no son at all!"
With that, she pulled Xiao Ming away from me and forbade me to come closer. I watched Xiao Ming being led away by her, tears welling up in my eyes. I knew she was trying to kidnap Ming so that I would completely submit to her. I was in great pain, but there was nothing I could do.
In this way, I could no longer stand the bullying and manipulation of my mother-in-law. One day, my mother-in-law scolded me for not cooking well, and I finally couldn't bear it anymore and vented all the anger that had been pent up for a long time.
"Who the hell are you, why do you always interfere in my life and gossip?" I scolded, "Xiao Ming is my son, how can I educate him so that you can't interfere! You bad old woman, let's get out of here!"
My mother-in-law was startled by my roar and wanted to return the favor, but when she saw my red eyes and menacing appearance, she was also silent. Xiao Ming looked at me from the sidelines, his eyes complicated and confused.
My tears finally burst out of my eyes, and I complained with tears in my eyes: "Xiao Ming, look at it, has my mother-in-law been isolating me and insulting me?
My outburst seemed to have finally awakened Xiao Ming's feelings for his mother. He looked at me with tears and anger on my face, and suddenly he was a little at a loss.
When my mother-in-law saw this, she immediately took his hand and was about to leave, and she didn't forget to scold me: "It's against you, you unscrupulous master! Wait and see, Xiao Ming will leave you sooner or later!"
Faced with Xiao Ming's choice, her mother-in-law was so angry that she smoked and scolded. "You pair of white-eyed wolves, you are destined to have no good end! The sky thunders and thunders, and the whole family dies!"
I didn't care about her swearing, but said to her coldly, "Mother-in-law, please go back." Our mother and son can't get by, and from now on we will not have you as a relative. "
Seeing my categorical tone, my mother-in-law finally didn't continue to entangle, and slammed the door. In this way, this bad old woman who is rampant and domineering and manipulates her children and grandchildren has finally disappeared completely from the lives of our mother and son.
The room was silent for a while, except for Xiao Ming's occasional sobs. I hugged him tightly and didn't speak, just silently prayed in my heart that the relationship between our mother and son would start again.
After my mother-in-law left, Xiao Ming and I got back together. Xiao Ming told me about the painful experience of being bewitched by his mother-in-law these days, and I also explained to him the reason for my divorce.
I touched his head and comforted him softly: "It's okay baby, it was all caused by my mother-in-law, you were just used by her." Mom understands it, it's all gone. "
"But Mom, I'm really guilty, how could I do that to you?" Xiao Ming choked up, tears rolling in his eyes.
I took him into my arms and said gently, "You are still young, it is normal to be bewitched by your mother-in-law. Mom doesn't blame you, let's start from scratch, shall we?"
Xiao Ming nodded, and finally smiled with relief.
I told him that the divorce didn't mean that I didn't love his dad, but that because he had done something wrong, we couldn't continue to love each other. But no matter what, he is our flesh and blood, my most precious child, and I will always choose to be with him.
Xiao Ming listened to it and was finally completely relieved. Since then, he hasn't made a face to me, and we've regained our old intimacy.
The departure of my mother-in-law made me and Xiao Ming unload a heavy burden. We can finally live freely.
Xiao Ming's grades in school have also made great progress, because I am no longer tied up by my mother-in-law, and I can calm down and tutor him well. He would often ask me for his homework, and we were just like before, and mother and son got along happily.
The home is also revitalized. I replaced all the old things in the house, bloomed a bouquet of flowers, and cleaned it every day. Xiao Ming often takes the initiative to help me with housework, tidy up the room and wipe the table together, and we spend a happy time like two good friends.
We were once disturbed by our mother-in-law's rampant domineering, but now we live a leisurely and peaceful life. I often look at Xiao Ming's sleeping face in the dead of night, and my heart is full of gratitude. Thanks to my mother-in-law's departure, I have this happiness again.
The years flew by, and Xiao Ming soon entered adolescence. At this stage, he began to become rebellious and sensitive, often pointing fingers at me. Of course, I will not repeat the mistakes of my mother-in-law, but be patient and treat his behavior with understanding and tolerance.
Once, Xiao Ming had a little grievance at school, and when he came home, he exploded into emotions with me. He threw his schoolbag on the ground and shouted, "It's all your fault! If you don't discipline me properly, I will be bullied at school!"
I didn't get angry, I just said calmly, "Okay, okay, don't be angry yet, and tell my mother slowly, what happened?"
Seeing that I was so calm, Xiao Ming gradually lost his anger and told what happened in school. It turned out that some classmates made fun of him for being plainly dressed, and he was very hurt because of it.
When I heard this, I didn't blame him for his actions, but went up and hugged him. "Baby, Mommy understands your feelings. But anger can't solve the problem, and we should use wisdom to resolve this kind of thing. "
In my warm embrace, Xiao Ming finally let down his guard and began to sincerely tell me about his inner troubles. We were like good friends, talking until late.
Since then, the relationship between mother and son has become more intimate. Xiao Ming will never yell at me again, and whenever he is unhappy, he will choose to communicate with me sincerely. And I will also treat his adolescent rebellious behavior with the utmost patience and understanding.
Once, Xiao Ming brought his girlfriend Xiaomei home as a guest. Looking at the greasy and crooked appearance of the little couple, I couldn't help but sigh that the years had flown by. But I didn't interfere with them, just watched gently.
For dinner, I prepared a table of delicious dishes for the little couple, and they ate happily. After Xiaomei finished eating, she specially stepped forward to hug me and said "thank you, Mom".
I was so touched by her actions that my eyes couldn't help but moisten. As a mother, I certainly hope that my son will marry a virtuous and good daughter-in-law. Seeing Xiaomei so polite, I let go of some of the worries in my heart.
In the evening, Xiao Ming also took the initiative to talk to me. He said that he loved Xiaomei very much and hoped to marry her in the future. I listened, but just told him to think twice and not to rush it.
"Mom, don't worry, I will manage this relationship with Xiao Meimei. Xiao Ming said, "We won't be like you and Dad, sooner or later we will come to the end." "
Hearing these words, my heart suddenly felt much more relieved. I hugged my son and sincerely wished him the best of luck when he met his true love.
In kindergarten, I saw countless young lives. They are like little angels, innocent and flawless, and I feel joy like never before. I put the patience and motherly love that I had to educate Xiao Ming back then into this job.
The children love me because I can tell stories, play games and make crafts. Every day after school, they would pounce on me and hug me, which made my heart extremely warm.
Working here, my life has been re-energized and motivated. I am no longer the poor woman who was bullied by my mother-in-law, nor am I just Xiao Ming's mother, but I have a new identity and value.
Sometimes Xiao Ming will joke that I have "arranged" all the children in their family. I laughed and said it was because I really liked the kids.
