The golden autumn sunshine sprinkled the village, and Aunt Zhang stood in front of her house, looking at the lively scene of her son's upcoming wedding, but her heart was mixed. This was the day she had been looking forward to for a long time, but she didn't expect that a sudden storm would push the festive atmosphere to the forefront.
Aunt Zhang's life has been bumpy. She lost her husband at an early age and took on the responsibility of raising her son alone. She rejected many opportunities to remarry, just to give her son a complete home. She worked hard, both farming and raising chickens, to earn her son's school fees and pay for his education. Under her careful cultivation, her son finally got ahead, was admitted to a prestigious university, and found a stable job after graduation.
For her son's wedding, Aunt Zhang did everything she could. She borrowed money from relatives and friends, bought a new house for her son's mortgage, and paid a high bride price. In her opinion, as long as her son can be happy, she is willing to give everything.
However, a farce on the wedding day made Aunt Zhang's heart fall to the bottom. When the bride makes a series of unreasonable demands, she is shocked and angry. She didn't understand why this girl, whom she once thought was gentle and kind, had become so greedy and selfish.
The bride not only asked for a drop-off fee and a change of mouth fee, but also refused to let Aunt Zhang attend the wedding on the grounds of bad luck. What's even more excessive is that she even asked at the wedding scene to give 500 yuan red envelopes to each person who came to her mother's family to see her off. This request stunned everyone, and the groom angrily announced the cancellation of the wedding on the spot.
Aunt Zhang looked at her son's resolute back, and her heart was full of helplessness and grief. She didn't understand why her dedication to her son would result in such a result. She knelt on the ground and begged her son not to be impulsive, but he left without looking back.
The farce of this wedding made Aunt Zhang deeply reflect on the true meaning of marriage. She realized that marriage should not be held hostage by money and material things, but should be based on mutual respect and understanding. She hopes that her son can find someone who truly loves and understands him to spend his life with, instead of being confused by immediate interests.
At the same time, she also hopes that society will pay more attention to the issue of morality and values in marriage. Only when we truly know how to cherish and respect marriage can we make it the best journey of our lives.
After this turmoil, although Aunt Zhang was heartbroken, she also understood a truth: every experience in life is an opportunity for growth. She decided to let go of her past hurts and start her life anew. She believes that in the days to come, she will be able to find her own happiness and joy.
