The sun is shining, the birds are singing happily, the flowers are blooming, and the whole world seems to become more beautiful and moving at that moment! 18-year-old Lu Wei and Shi Ying met unexpectedly in a foreign country, and since then they have become the deepest love for each other in their youth.
Like all young men and women in love, they enjoy the sweetness and warmth of their first love when they are young and frivolous, and are full of endless expectations and yearning for the future.
However, who would have expected that on that seemingly ordinary day, a trivial incident would completely change the trajectory of the fate of the two young people.
Shi Ying suddenly found out that she was pregnant, and the fact that she was pregnant before marriage was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, ruthlessly shattering their dreams.
In the face of this sudden heavy blow, although Lu Wei was young, he showed extraordinary maturity and responsibility. He resolutely refused to shirk his responsibilities and vowed to do his best to take on the responsibility of parenthood, even if the road ahead was tortuous and difficult.
"I will definitely be responsible for Shi Ying and our children to the end. Facing the doubts of his mother Meng Liping, Lu Wei's eyes were extremely resolute.
Shi Ying was deeply moved by this firm commitment, and although she felt helpless and lost at first, she finally chose to give birth to a child. She paid a huge price for love and missed the best time to have an abortion.
However, when the news of this misfortune reached the ears of relatives and friends thousands of miles away, it caused an even more violent shock. After receiving a call from her son Lu Wei, Meng Liping fell into extreme shock.
"This is absolutely impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Meng Liping buzzed loudly in her mind, the heavens and the earth spun, and her heart was shocked. For her, this is undoubtedly the most important accident and blow in her life.
Despite the contradictions in her heart, Meng Liping did not hesitate to take Shi Ying back to her home when she was about to give birth, and carefully prepared a wedding and a new home for the young couple, hoping to help them smoothly enter a new stage of life.
Looking at the helpless expression of this "young couple", Meng Liping's heart was filled with deep pity. She decided to take on the responsibility of taking care of her granddaughter first, taking care of the new member of the family every day, breastfeeding and changing diapers wholeheartedly, and never complaining about this extra responsibility.
Although she suffered a heavy blow for a while, Meng Liping did not give up because of this. She silently made up her mind to take care of her granddaughter first, and when the time came, she would return the child to her son and daughter-in-law.
"Let me take the responsibility of raising children in place of my son and daughter-in-law for the time being! When the children grow up, I will return to Zhao, and then I should enjoy the joy of family warmth." This is Meng Liping's thoughts.
After all, as young people, Lu Wei and Shi Ying are obviously still very immature, and they are not yet fully mature enough to devote themselves to the tedious affairs of parenting.
Faced with the panicked state of this "little couple", Meng Liping's heart was full of deep sympathy.
As an experienced senior, she knows how challenging a lack of experience can be for new parents. She vividly recalls her panic and helplessness when she first became a mother, and feared that if someone had not reached out to help, her child would have been in danger.
"I am willing to take care of the child for you for two years, and then return it to you when the child has the basic ability to take care of himself. Meng Liping made a firm decision, looking affectionately into her granddaughter's bright eyes.
So, in the following years, Meng Liping wholeheartedly took on the heavy responsibility of housework and childcare. Every morning, she will carefully breastfeed her granddaughter and change diapers, lest the slightest omission will cause the child to suffer grievances.
Looking at the innocent sleeping face of her infant granddaughter, Meng Liping's heart surged with a warm current from the bottom of her heart. She told herself that if she held on for another two years, it would be a short period of time, and that when her children were grown, she would be able to regain her freedom and live a leisurely life.
She never regarded taking care of her granddaughter as a heavy burden, but instead regarded it as a new value and motivation in life. It is very satisfying to see her granddaughter grow up and live her days healthy and happy.
However, who would have thought that the series of changes that followed ruthlessly shattered all of Meng Liping's good expectations.
It all started when Shi Ying blacklisted Meng Liping on social media. Meng Liping had an ominous omen in her heart, and immediately contacted her son Lu Wei.
However, what Lu Wei said was like a heavy punch, hitting Meng Liping's heart hard.
"We haven't been in touch for more than a month, and I have no clue where she is now. Lu Wei stated coldly.
The bad news came like a tide, and Meng Liping's heart instantly froze. It turned out that seven months after the birth of her granddaughter, Shi Ying had quietly left, leaving only Lu Wei and her daughter alone.
Faced with the sudden breakdown of her son's marriage, Meng Liping, as a mother, felt unprecedented confusion and anxiety, and her heart was full of hesitation and confusion.
She tried her best to convince her son and daughter-in-law to reunite, because she knew that a complete and harmonious family had an important impact on the physical and mental health of her children.
"Mom, we have ended this relationship, and Shi Ying made it clear that she didn't want to continue the relationship. Whenever she recalls her son's helpless and lost expression, Meng Liping feels her heart beating faster, and her heart hurts as if she has been cut by a knife.
In order to find out the whereabouts of her daughter-in-law, Meng Liping did not hesitate to find Shi Ying in person. When she saw the once lively and cheerful girl in front of her, but now her eyes were distracted, her face was pale, and her whole person seemed to have suffered the harshest blow in life, and her heart was full of endless sympathy and pity.
What's even more distressing is that although she verbally claimed that she was no longer willing to get back together, Shi Ying always hugged the child tightly and kissed her from time to time, with deep love and reluctance in her eyes.
Meng Liping looked at this scene, and her heart was full of mixed feelings, which was indescribable.
Faced with the reality of domestic violence, Meng Liping was speechless. She is well aware of the pain of divorced couples, and the indifference and ruthlessness of that family atmosphere will undoubtedly bring a shadow that will be unforgettable for children.
And now, his granddaughter will also spend her childhood in such an environment.
Since then, Meng Liping's expectations for her son have been completely shattered.
Seeing that her son and daughter-in-law could not regain their former happiness, how could Meng Liping bear to leave her young granddaughter in the care of the young couple? She could only choose to take on the responsibility of raising her granddaughter alone.
In fact, as early as the moment she learned that her son Lu Wei had committed domestic violence against her daughter-in-law, Meng Liping lost confidence in them.
Meng Liping has always regarded family harmony as a top priority, and she firmly opposes and deeply intolerates domestic violence.
Therefore, even though she was reluctant to give up in her heart, she still resolutely decided to carry the burden alone and raise her granddaughter to adulthood.
"In that case, then I will take care of the child first. Faced with the impasse between her son and daughter-in-law, Meng Liping's gaze was firm and powerful.
In order to alleviate the heavy pressure on her shoulders, Meng Liping once asked Lu Wei and Shi Ying to pay 1,000 yuan per month in child support. However, the cost of raising an infant baby is unimaginable, and even 2,000 yuan is still not enough to hire a professional nursery teacher to share this responsibility.
Meng Liping originally had a glimmer of hope, expecting her son Lu Wei's parents and family to lend a helping hand, however, reality ruthlessly shattered her illusions.
When she saw that the "meeting gift" given to her granddaughter by her ex-in-laws was just a local chicken, her heart instantly froze into ice.
Shouldering the heavy responsibility of raising her granddaughter alone, how can Meng Liping not feel endless loneliness and helplessness? Taking care of her children means that she will no longer be able to devote herself to the workplace, and her family's financial resources will be cut off as a result, and her life will undoubtedly be in trouble.
What is even more worrisome is whether the husband will be estranged from her because of this? After all, his granddaughter is not his blood relative, and if he loses his energy and fails his beloved wife because of her, will their long-term marital friendship be ruined? All good things will be lost.
Whenever she thought of this, Meng Liping felt that the future was bleak, and she began to be full of fear for the future. Although the decision to care for her granddaughter was voluntary, she never expected to pay such a huge price.
Although Shi Ying and Lu Wei finally agreed to pay 1,000 yuan per month in child support, Meng Liping knew in her heart that this was just a drop in the bucket to solve her practical difficulties.
After all, Lu Wei is only 18 years old, and his income from his part-time job is meager, so he can't afford to bear the weight of child support. Thinking of this, Meng Liping felt a deep despair and sadness in her heart.
Thinking that in the future, she may be estranged from her own flesh and blood because of money problems, Meng Liping felt like a knife. However, she also knows that without adequate financial support, caring for her granddaughter will become a distant luxury.
What is even more desperate is that in the process of negotiating with Shi Ying, this seemingly immature girl showed extraordinary shrewdness and urban government.
She hinted that if she took legal measures, she would only have to pay a few hundred yuan a month in child support.
Originally, Meng Liping still had a glimmer of hope, but in the face of this cruel truth, her heart was completely cold.
No matter how generous the salary is, thousands of yuan or tens of thousands of yuan, it is difficult to bear the huge burden of expenses incurred in the process of childcare. What's more, in order to take care of her granddaughter, she had to give up her beloved career painfully, thus losing a stable source of income.
Seeing her granddaughter's bright future being abandoned by her ruthless biological parents, Meng Liping felt unprecedented helplessness and despair. She tried to ask relatives and friends for help many times, but they were all refused, and even her ex-husband's family was callous.
In front of this group of relatives who regard children as grass mustard, Meng Liping's heart is full of deep despair. However, there seems to be only one path in her sight, and that is to bravely shoulder the responsibility of raising this innocent life and allowing her to grow up healthy and happy.
