Since I was a child, I have been a typical good girl, cautious, and my words and deeds are well thought out. My name is Lin Meng, and I am an ordinary office worker living in this busy city. After a few years of marriage, my husband Li Hui and I lived a plain and happy life, until one day, everything changed.
I remember it was a sunny weekend, and my husband and I had planned to take our parents to the countryside to enjoy a rare break. But just as we were about to go out, my mother-in-law suddenly said: "Meng'er, you stay at home and accompany me first, there are some things to discuss with you." ”
I looked at my mother-in-law with some confusion, and there was a hint of uneasiness on her face that made my heart beat a drum. I knew that my mother-in-law had always been very nice to me and had never behaved out of any other way, so she suddenly said this, which made me feel a little nervous.
My mother-in-law came over and gently took my hand: "Meng'er, I have something to tell you, I hope you can understand me." ”
I nodded and motioned for my mother-in-law to continue.
"Actually, this has been happening for a while, but I haven't found the right opportunity to tell you. You know your brother-in-law, something bad has happened to him lately, leaving his children unattended. ”
I was a little confused, and I didn't know what my mother-in-law was going to say. I've heard about my brother-in-law, but I didn't expect it to have anything to do with us.
"So, I decided to bring his child over for the time being, and we took good care of it. After speaking, my mother-in-law looked at me and prayed for my understanding and support.
I was stunned by my mother-in-law's words, I didn't expect such a thing to happen at all. The children of the little uncle are a pair of twins, and they are still young and need to be taken care of. I thought of my plan and my husband, and thought of the car my parents were waiting in outside, and my heart was full of contradictions and helplessness.
"Mother-in-law, we need to discuss this matter, after all, we also have our own lives and plans. I tried to speak in a calm tone, but the uneasiness in my heart grew stronger.
My mother-in-law listened to my words, and the expression on her face was a little complicated: "Meng'er, I know that it may be a little difficult for you to do this, but the children are really pitiful, and I really can't bear to leave them like this." ”
I was silent for a while, and finally spoke, "Mother-in-law, I understand your distress, but we really need to think about it. Li Hui and I also have our own plans, and we can't change them easily. ”
My mother-in-law looked at me with tears in her eyes: "Meng'er, you must understand that this matter is also very painful for me. I know I don't have the authority to ask you to do anything, but I hope you will be considerate of my difficulties. ”
I felt sad in my heart, looked into my mother-in-law's eyes, and felt her helplessness and loneliness. Perhaps, this matter is indeed a little difficult for us, but for my mother-in-law, it is a kind of responsibility and responsibility. I can't help but feel a little selfish, am I just turning away an old man and a child?
I discussed it with Li Hui and finally decided to accept my mother-in-law's arrangement for the time being to help take care of my brother-in-law's children. Although our plans were disrupted, we were willing to make some sacrifices for the sake of family harmony and the happiness of our mother-in-law.
A few days later, my husband and I took my brother-in-law's children and started a new life. At first, we felt a little uncomfortable, but slowly, we gradually integrated into the family and found our place.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, I received an opportunity to work abroad. It was a rare opportunity and I knew I couldn't pass it up. I discussed it with my husband and decided that I would go first and wait until I had a stable job before considering taking my brother-in-law's children over.
I told my mother-in-law about my decision, and although she was a little reluctant, she supported me. The day my husband took me to the airport, his eyes were full of reluctance and attachment.
