"Do you take your home seriously? You know your job all day long, and your children don't know you anymore!" I asked my ex-husband angrily.
"Isn't this here to earn money to support my family? He replied nonchalantly.
I was filled with anger and disappointment. When we first fell in love, he held me as his life. After getting married, he gradually became cold and became more and more indifferent to his family. I worked hard at home to take care of the housework and the children, but he always looked like he didn't care about himself. What's even more infuriating is that his estranged attitude towards our mother and son made me feel like a single mother. I tried to talk to him many times, but he always tried to do things perfunctorily. Watching the child look forward to his father coming home every day, my heart is mixed.
I clenched my fists so hard that my nails were digging into my flesh. The bruises on his face flare up, and his eyes glared at him on the other side. He leaned lazily back on the couch, one hand casually resting on the armrest, the other holding the remote control, deaf to my questioning. I finally couldn't take it anymore, snatched the remote control from his hand, and slammed it to the ground.
With a "pop", the shell of the remote control opened in response, and the battery rolled out. He finally sat up straight and stared at me with wide eyes. The child was awakened by our movements, and came out in a daze, trembling at the sight of us.
One night a month later, I was watching TV in my living room when suddenly the doorbell rang. I got up to open the door, but I saw my ex-husband.
"What are you going to do?" I asked in surprise.
"I ...... I want to meet the kids. He said hesitantly.
Seeing him appear at the door of the house, I had mixed feelings in my heart. In the days after the divorce, I put all my thoughts on my work and children, trying to regain hope in life. Although I still think of him occasionally, it is more of a disappointment and distrust of him. How did he grow cold to our mother and son? Did he have an affair? I can't help but wonder if he was playing some trick again.
But looking at his cramped and uneasy appearance, I was a little shaken. Maybe he really wants to make up for his past mistakes? After all, he is also the father of the child. Perhaps, we still have a chance to start over? Are the children also looking forward to a complete home? My heart began to fight between heaven and man.
I looked him up and down. His hair was a little messy, and his eyes were a little black, and he looked like he hadn't slept well in a long time. He had his hands in his trouser pockets and his body swaying back and forth, like a child who had done something wrong.
It was then that our children were also drawn in by the doorbell. Seeing that it was the father, the child's eyes lit up.
"Daddy!" The child cried out for joy and ran to throw himself into his arms.
I quickly grabbed the child and winked at him. The child's smile froze on his face and he looked at me puzzled.
I looked back and saw my ex-husband's eyes darken. He bit his lip and lowered his head.
"Come in. "I finally got out of the way.
The three of us sat in the living room, and the scene was a bit of a scene for a while. The child secretly looked at us, and from time to time he opened his mouth to play the round.
"Dad, how are you doing?" The child finally asked the question in his mind.
"It's okay, barely. He replied reluctantly.
"Then why haven't you come to see us for so long? A hint of loss flashed in the child's eyes.
A look of guilt finally appeared on his face: "No, how can it be? Just ......"
"Just what?" I interrupted him and asked, "Is it just that you're busy with work?" or is it something else?"
But even if that were the case, he shouldn't have gone without coming to see him for so long, should we? Our child was expecting him so much, and now he was even more disappointed to see him.
I looked at the child's lost little eyes, and I felt extremely guilty. As a mother, should I give my child a complete home? But how can I forgive the man who broke my heart? We used to have such affection between us, but then he left our mother and son behind, it was simply a betrayal of us!
His eyes began to wander, like a rabbit with nowhere to hide. He shifted uneasily, his hands rubbing against his trousers. I frowned, staring at his every move. The child looked at us blankly, bewildered.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. He finally spoke, his tone full of guilt, "I'm so selfish to focus on my work and ignore you. I apologize to you, and I apologize to my children. "
As he spoke, he pulled an envelope out of his pocket, and with a slight tremor in his hands, pushed it in front of me. "There is 150,000 yuan in it, which is all my savings during this time, so I will regard it as my reparation. I really want to start over and I hope you can forgive me. "
"What did you say?" I finally found my voice, "Do you think you can buy my forgiveness with money, and can money make up for the damage you did to us?"
"No, I didn't mean that. He quickly explained, "It's just a sincerity that I want to start over, and I know that money alone is not enough." I will prove myself with my actions, please give me a chance!"
"Tell me, then, what actions would you use to prove it? You said the same before, but then what?" I asked.
"Mom, maybe what Dad said this time is true?" The child cautiously said, "Maybe we can give him a chance?"
Looking at the banknotes in front of me, a storm once again set off in my heart. 150,000 yuan is indeed a lot of money for our current life. Since my divorce, I have been working hard to support my family by myself, and the financial pressure has really made me miserable. With this money, I can take a breather and give my children a better living environment.
But is money really that important to me? Even if we were to be on a little tighter, I would never bow down to the man who broke my heart. After all, affection can't be bought with money, and what he did has already broken my heart.
My hands were trembling slightly, and I was struggling as I looked at the bills on the table. I stole a glance at my ex-husband, and he looked at me expectantly, with a hint of pleading in his eyes. The child also looked at me expectantly, and spoke silently for his father.
My gaze wandered between the bills and them, and I finally made up my mind. I took a deep breath and pushed the bill back.
"No, I can't take your money. I said categorically, "Feelings cannot be bought with money, and the damage you have done to us is irreparable." "
Disappointment was written on her ex-husband's face, and he hung his arms weakly. The child's eyes widened, apparently not expecting me to say that.
"However, I can give you a chance to be a new person. I continued, "But only if you prove your sincerity by your actions, and not buy us off with money." "
"Really, will you give me a chance?" The ex-husband's eyes lit up, "I will definitely not fail you, I will prove myself with actions!"
"Don't overdo it, wait until you've actually done it. I interrupted him, "Now, you go back first." I'll think about it. "
The child watched him leave, then turned to look at me with a look of doubt in his eyes.
"Mom, why don't you accept Daddy's money? That's a lot of money!"
Looking at the child's puzzled eyes, I sighed deeply. I know that it is a difficult decision for a child to turn down that money. After all, in his eyes, that's a lot of money. However, for me, money is not the most important thing.
I don't want to use money to buy my feelings and forgive someone who broke my heart. Although money is a big help in our lives now, I would rather continue to live on a few days than lose my dignity and principles.
On the other hand, I am also thinking about my child's feelings. I know how much children yearn to have a complete family with their father. But can I really forgive my ex-husband and let him re-enter our lives, how he hurt us, how he snubbed our children. I can't help but wonder if he genuinely wanted to mend his ways this time.
However, for the sake of the child, I decided to give him a chance. As long as he can prove himself with practical actions, I am willing to reconsider our relationship. Money is important, but more important is sincerity. Only when he treats our mother and son with sincerity can I truly forgive him.
I looked at the child's puzzled little eyes, reached into his arms, and gently patted him on the back. The child obediently leaned into my arms and looked up at me with a clear look in his eyes.
"Why doesn't Mom want Daddy's money?" He finally asked.
I took a deep breath and tried to explain it to him in the simplest terms: "Because, money is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Dad should prove with his actions that he really cares about us, and not that he buys us off with money. "
"But isn't money important to us?" The child asked in confusion.
"Money is important, but more important than money is dignity and principles. I pondered the wording, "If we trade money for affection, then we lose our dignity." Moreover, feelings cannot be bought with money, they need to be maintained with sincerity. "
The child nodded silently, as if he understood. I continued: "However, for your sake, I decided to give Dad a chance to be a new person. As long as he can prove himself with his actions, I am willing to forgive him. "
"That's good!" The child's eyes lit up suddenly, "I believe that Dad will definitely change his life this time!"
I looked at the child's innocent smile, and my heart swelled. Yes, for the sake of the child, I must give him a complete family. Moreover, everyone deserves to be forgiven and given a chance to start over. As long as my ex-husband can sincerely repent, I will reconsider our relationship.
"Mom, do you think Dad will really change his ways?" After a while, the child asked again.
It depends on his own determination. I said sincerely, "But no matter what, Mom will always be by your side and give you a warm home." "
"Well, I know. The child nodded, leaning into my arms, a look of relief on his face.
However, everyone should be given a chance to be a new person, and ex-husbands are no exception. The key is whether he has enough sincerity and determination. If he really wants to change his ways and prove himself with actions, maybe we can start over.
No matter what, no matter what happens in the future, I will always be by my child's side and give him all my love. As a mother, this is my most important and basic duty. I will use my own hands to create a warm home for my children and create a good environment for them to grow up.
I hugged the child tightly and felt his immature body fragrance. The child snuggled up to me in my arms with a happy look written on his face. I patted him gently on the back, and I couldn't help but smile at the corner of my mouth.
"Mom will always be by your side and give you a warm home. I whispered in my child's ear, "Whatever happens, don't be upset, okay?"
The child nodded, looking up at me. I reached out and gently brushed the shredded hair from his forehead, staring deeply into his innocent eyes.
"We're always together. I said firmly.
The child opened his arms and hugged me unreservedly. Tears rolled in my eyes, and finally I couldn't hold myself and rolled down. I hugged the baby tightly and imprinted a kiss on his forehead. The sun warmly shone on our embracing figures, and unprecedented happiness and strength flowed through my heart.
"Mom, no matter what happens in the future, I will always support you. The child raised his head and looked at me with innocent eyes.
I nodded, and my heart felt warm.
Looking at the child's sensible appearance, my heart was full of pride and comfort. Yes, no matter what happens in the future, I have the strong little bench of the child. With his support and understanding, I have infinite courage and strength to face all difficulties and trials.
From now on, we will rely on each other and spend the ups and downs of life hand in hand. Regardless of whether my ex-husband can truly repent in the end, and whether or not our family can get back together in the future, I will do my best to create a happy and healthy environment for my children. Because he is my greatest pride and concern in this life.
I gently wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes with my fingers, and a resolute look appeared on my face. I gazed deeply into the child's big innocent eyes, which were firm and powerful.
The child also seemed to feel the determination in my heart, he smiled slightly, stretched out his little hand and held my palm tightly, conveying the purest trust and dependence between the family.
We looked at each other and smiled, determined to meet all the challenges that lie ahead.
As a strong and independent professional woman, I have always been confident and decisive. When there was a rift in my relationship, I resolutely chose to divorce, even though it made me a single mother all of a sudden.
"If your heart is broken, why bother with it, just cut it in two and start again. "That's what I thought in my heart.
In the days after the divorce, I gritted my teeth and persevered, devoted myself wholeheartedly to my work and raising my children, and I never gave up despite the constraints of life. Because in my heart, children are always the most important.
"As long as the child is happy, I am not afraid of anything. "I often say that to myself.
Although the days of being single again were hard, I did not lose hope in life. On the contrary, I cherish everything I have now. In the company of my children, I found a new meaning in life and the courage to live.
"Although I don't have him, I still have the little bench of the child. "I think like that a lot.
So, when my ex-husband reappeared and tried to buy my forgiveness with money, I refused without hesitation. Because in my opinion, feelings cannot be bought with money, it needs to be managed and cherished with sincerity.
"Dignity and principle are the most precious things. "That's my life credo.
However, for the sake of the children, I decided to give my ex-husband a chance to be a new person. After all, everyone should be forgiven and given the right to start over. As long as he can prove himself with practical actions, I am willing to reconsider our relationship.
"I can do anything for the sake of my children. "I made up my mind in my heart.
As an innocent child, the child does not understand the divorce of his parents. He just instinctively longs for a complete family, an environment with mom and dad to keep him company.
"Why didn't Daddy come back? Did I do something wrong?" Children often think so.
So when the father reappeared, the child's heart was extremely happy. He was looking forward to seeing his father change his ways and rejoin the family this time.
"Dad will definitely play with me this time!" The child thought innocently.
When the mother rejected the father's banknote, the child was a little puzzled. For children, money is very important in their current lives. But after the mother's explanation, the child gradually understood the mother's good intentions.
"It turns out that feelings can't be bought with money. The child was thoughtful.
Seeing that the mother is willing to give the father a chance to be a new person, the child's heart is extremely happy. He believes that as long as his father can truly reform himself this time, they will definitely be able to form a happy family again.
"Daddy will definitely try, right?" The child prayed secretly.
