I am an old man in my sixties and live alone in my hometown in the countryside. My wife died of illness a few years ago, my son was working in other places, and only my daughter-in-law occasionally came back to visit me. Although the family is not very wealthy, it is still passable.
On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I was preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at home when I suddenly received a call from my daughter-in-law.
"Hey, Mom, it's me. She cried affectionately.
"Hey, yes, what's wrong?" I asked happily.
"Mom, I'll go back to accompany you for the New Year today, you are waiting at home. "
"Okay, come back, Mom is waiting for you at home. "I said yes again and again.
Hanging up the phone, I was so happy that I couldn't keep my mouth shut. I was finally able to reunite with my son and daughter-in-law's family of three.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the daughter-in-law arrived home. Seeing her push the door in, I stepped forward and gave her a big hug with open arms.
"Mom, I'm back. The daughter-in-law said, with a happy smile on her face.
"Come in and sit, it's been hard all the way, right?" I patted her on the back again and again, tears of joy in my eyes.
After dinner, my daughter-in-law suddenly took out a beautiful gold bracelet from her bag, held it in both hands and handed it to me.
"Mom, this is my New Year's gift to you, you can accept it. She said.
I was taken aback, and hurriedly excused myself: "How can this work? How can you be willing to buy me such a valuable thing?"
"Mom, just take it. My daughter-in-law insisted that I accept it, "This is a congratulatory gift that I bought for you with a year's salary that I saved in other places." "
However, looking at my daughter-in-law's sincere eyes, I finally put the bracelet on. Seeing this, the daughter-in-law showed a happy look on her face. But I noticed that her eyes were a little evasive, as if she was not telling me something.
At about eleven o'clock in the evening, I was about to go to bed when I suddenly heard the voice of my daughter-in-law talking on the phone in the next room. At first I didn't care, but then her words made my blood freeze all over my body.
"Hey, that old man is so stupid that he believes the bracelet I saved up to buy. She said, "Now that we have the money, let's break up, I'm tired of fooling around with you." "
I was shaken, and the bracelet fell to the ground with a "click". It turned out that my daughter-in-law was lying to me at all, and she didn't buy the bracelet at all! My heart was full of disappointment and anger as if it had been hollowed out. I have raised her for so many years, and I have no reservations about her, but she breaks my heart so much!
Hearing this familiar name, my blood seemed to boil. I said coldly, "Don't call me mom anymore! From today onwards, I don't regard you as a daughter-in-law anymore." "
My daughter-in-law was startled by my cold tone and was speechless. I stared at her with a straight face, pointed to the door, and ordered her to leave at once and never come back!
The daughter-in-law was shocked and said sorry again and again: "Mom, I was just joking, I didn't expect to really hurt you." Look, didn't I give you the bracelet? "
My heart was completely cooled. The affectionate words of my daughter-in-law have already made me feel sick to my stomach. I was determined to banish this utter liar from my life. She broke my heart and I never wanted to see her again.
"Shut up!" I yelled, "I don't want to hear your lies anymore. Get out of here and never come back!"
When my daughter-in-law saw that my attitude was so resolute, she seemed even more panicked. She began to plead, "Mom, just forgive me this time." If you really kick me away, my son won't forgive you in the future. "
When she mentioned her son, my heart was in turmoil. My son is my biggest concern, and I am reluctant to break with him. However, I am even more reluctant to watch liars deceive me right under my nose. In the face of monetary interests, the daughter-in-law can do everything. I don't want to be hurt by her anymore.
I gritted my teeth, and the flame of righteous indignation burned in my eyes. I waved my daughter-in-law out of the house, leaving her pleading and crying. My heart was wrapped in steel, and I could no longer be shaken by her lies.
My son soon called and asked me why I had kicked my daughter-in-law away. I told him the truth about my daughter-in-law's cheating on me.
"How can you do that? It's a good girl, how could she lie to you?" The son was furious, "You must have misunderstood, I must testify for her and prove that she is a good person." "
Hearing my son say this, my heart was torn apart again. As a mother, I am reluctant to turn against my son. But the facts are right in front of me, and my daughter-in-law really lied to me. Should I trust my eyes and ears, or should I trust my son's words?
I crouched on the ground, my hands over my face, and I wept bitterly. My body trembled with inner torment. I wish I had just disappeared into the world and been spared this pain. Why is this happening? Why is it the way it is? Why is it that the people closest to me hurt me the most? My heart is filled with endless sadness and despair.
Just when I was about to break down, my son came to the house with his daughter-in-law. They were terrified to see me like this. My daughter-in-law knelt down in front of me and cried silently, "Mom, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry for you." I lied to you, but I swear I'll never do it again. Just forgive me this time, and I will make up for it with a lifetime of filial piety. "
My son also knelt down and cried and persuaded me: "Mom, just forgive me." She's already wrong, and you can't do that to her. "
I looked at my son and daughter-in-law who were kneeling on the ground, and my heart was full of mixed feelings. They did hurt me, but after all, there is still an inseparable family bond between us.
"Get up first. I sighed, wiped away my tears, and said.
My son grabbed my arm and pulled me off the ground. The daughter-in-law knelt there, tears streaming down her face.
"Mom, I really know it's wrong. "Just forgive me this time, I swear I'll never lie to you again," she choked up. "
I looked at her guilty eyes, and the anger in my heart gradually subsided. I remembered her filial piety to me over the years, maybe she was really just confused for a while.
"Well, I forgive you. I let out a long sigh, "But you have to remember that family affection is built on integrity. If there was a next time, I really wouldn't forgive you. "
When the daughter-in-law heard this, she raised her head, and finally a smile appeared on her face. She nodded her head repeatedly, promising that she would remember my teachings.
In this way, our family was reconciled again. However, I don't want that gold bracelet anymore, it hurts me too much. I gave it back to my daughter-in-law and asked her to dispose of it herself.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the family happily ate the New Year's dinner. My son and daughter-in-law also put down their work burdens and spent this meaningful holiday with me.
"Mom, you can try this bowl of sauerkraut, it's delicious. "My daughter-in-law was kind enough to serve me vegetables.
"Well, yes, yes. I nodded in approval, very happy.
After lunch, the three of us sat in the courtyard and chatted. My son told me all kinds of interesting stories about his work in other places, and my daughter-in-law gushed about the sweet life of their husband and wife, and I couldn't help but laugh when I heard it.
"That's not it, your mom and I are telling the truth. The son put his arm around his daughter-in-law's shoulders and said, "Don't worry, she can't lie to you anymore." "
mentioned the last incident, and the daughter-in-law's face couldn't help but show a look of shame again. I hurriedly relieved her psychological burden: "Okay, okay, it's all over, you young people can live a good life." "
At night, I lay alone in bed, looking out the window at the bright moonlight, remembering everything that had happened in the past few days. I still have some worries in my heart, but more than that, I wish my son and daughter-in-law well.
I hope that my son can work hard, earn money for the family, and have a successful career. At the same time, I also hope that my daughter-in-law can re-establish her trust in me and never cheat on me again. After all, the price of deception is the loss of trust in each other, which can be fatal for a family.
More importantly, I hope that their relationship will continue to be so sweet. Husbands and wives must tolerate and trust each other in order to grow old together. I don't want them to die alone in their old age, like my late husband and me.
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but burst into tears. As a mother, my greatest wish is to see my son and daughter-in-law happy. As long as they truly love each other, even if there will be some conflicts occasionally, they will eventually be resolved.
In this way, in the midst of good hope, I gradually fell into a sweet dreamland.
"Mom, you can rest at home. The son said, "When we're done with our work, we'll come back to see you often." "
"Well, you have to be careful on the road. I nodded, tears welling up in my eyes.
My daughter-in-law stepped forward and gave me a big hug, her eyes were sincere and sincere: "Mom, I will definitely be filial to you in the future, and I will never make you sad again." "
I patted her the back and nodded. Watching them leave, my heart was filled with anticipation. I look forward to the day when they will be able to reach the pinnacle of life and live a happy and fulfilling life. As a mother, my mission is to wish them a bright future and eternal happiness and good health.
After my son and daughter-in-law left, I lived alone at home. Although I feel a little lonely, I am not alone. Because my son would call back from time to time to greet me, and my daughter-in-law would often send me some food to make me feel their love.
About half a year later, my son and daughter-in-law came back to see me. As soon as I entered the door, my daughter-in-law handed me a large gift box.
"Mom, this is our gift to you, please open it and take a look. She said shyly.
I took the gift box with some doubts, for fear that it would contain something valuable. Seeing this, the daughter-in-law smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, this time it's definitely not an expensive thing." "
I was relieved and carefully unwrapped the wrapper. Inside is a very delicately embroidered costume for the elderly, with bright colors and unique patterns.
"Look, how about this dress? I embroidered it myself. The daughter-in-law said happily, "I have been learning the art of embroidery for a few months just to make this dress for you." "
I took the clothes and carefully studied every stitch and thread, all of which were from my daughter-in-law's hard work. My heart warmed up, and my eyes moistened.
"Good daughter, so beautiful. I complimented me heartily, "You're so dedicated." "
When the daughter-in-law heard this, there was a proud look on her face. She stepped forward and gave me a big hug and whispered in my ear, "Mom, I'm sorry, I used to be so ignorant." Forgive me, I swear I will be filial to you for the rest of my life. "
I patted her on the back and nodded. Looking at my daughter-in-law's sincere eyes, I believe that she has truly repented from her heart this time.
"Mom, you can rest at home, don't worry too much. The son said, "If there is anything I command, I will do my best to take care of you." "
I nodded, tears welling up in my eyes. My son is such a good and filial son, and he is considerate of me as an old man. I hope that their husband and wife can always live in harmony like this, and they will always be happy.
The day of parting was coming soon, and the son and daughter-in-law were going back to work again. Before leaving, my son took my hand and said to me with a firm look in his eyes: "Mom, don't worry, we will definitely come back to see you often." Take care of yourself, and tell us if you have anything. "
I nodded vigorously, tears welling up in my eyes. My son's generous palms were warm and powerful, and I felt his eternal filial piety to me.
On the day my son and daughter-in-law left, I sat alone in the courtyard, staring at the sunset as the sky gradually sank in the west. I think back to when I was younger, when my husband and I were like glue and loved each other. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, my husband died early, and I ended up alone.
I hope that my son and daughter-in-law will not be like us, and they will continue to love each other forever. Although the road is difficult, as long as they support each other and tolerate each other, they will definitely be able to reach the end of life. After all, the love of husband and wife is eternal and the most beautiful emotion in the world.
After another half a year, my son and daughter-in-law came as scheduled to visit my lonely old man's family. As soon as I entered the door, my son greeted me with his physical condition, and my daughter-in-law was busy with the fact that I would not be able to eat and live well at home. Seeing them so attentive, I can't say how happy I am.
"Mom, look, I brought you some local specialties, all of which are great supplements, you must eat more. The daughter-in-law said, taking out a large number of things from her bag.
"Ouch, that's so polite. I waved my hand again and again, "I will be content if you can come back to see me often." "
My son stepped forward and put his arm around my shoulder, kissed me on the cheek, and said, "Mom, you can save some snacks, aren't we here? "
I was so pleased to see them happy. I deeply hope that they will always be happy and loving. As a mother, my greatest wish is to see my son and daughter-in-law happy.
In the dead of night, I lay alone in bed tossing and turning, reminiscing about the days when my son and daughter-in-law were young. Although some unpleasant things have happened, they have finally come together, and I am very glad for that.
I believe that as long as they love each other with sincerity and cherish this relationship with integrity, they will be able to grow old together. The flame of family affection will never be extinguished, and it will always warm their hearts and illuminate the path of their lives.
I closed my eyes and hoped that my son and daughter-in-law would be happy and healthy until the end of their lives. As a mother, my only wish is to see them happy. As long as they are happy, I am happy.
In this way, in the midst of good wishes, I gradually fell asleep. In my dream, I saw my son and daughter-in-law in their old age, supporting each other with happy smiles on their faces. I know that this is my greatest wish and the greatest gift from God.
