Zhang Wei is a retired old man at home, 65 years old this year. He and his wife Li Ying have been together for decades, and their relationship has always been very good. They have an only son, Zhang Ming, who married a girl named Wang Fang in the early years.
Zhang Ming and Wang Fang are a pair of quite shrewd and capable young people. After getting married, their careers are thriving, and their lives are gradually becoming more than enough. But with the improvement of living standards, the attitude of the two towards Zhang Wei and his wife became more and more cold.
One day, Zhang Ming suddenly called, saying that their company was going to be transferred to other places and needed to borrow Zhang Wei's house for a while. When Zhang Wei heard the news, he couldn't have been happier in his heart. He felt that this was finally a good opportunity to reconnect with his son.
"Of course, you can come, and if you need anything, just ask. Zhang Wei readily agreed.
Sure enough, Zhang Ming's family moved in a few days later. They brought large bags of luggage and completely occupied the living room of Zhang Wei's house. Seeing his son's family move back in, Zhang Wei was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Great, we'll be able to see each other more often in the future. If there is anything, you can discuss it in time, and you can mention any needs you have. Zhang Wei assured his son again and again.
"Well, thank you, Mom and Dad. Zhang Ming replied perfunctorily, obviously not caring too much about his parents' kindness.
In the next few days, Zhang Ming's family began to gradually develop their own lifestyle at Zhang Wei's house. Wang Fang is a very shrewd and capable housewife, and she has always done things reasonably. She soon began to criticize the life style of Zhang Wei and his wife.
"Dad, Mom, your house is so dirty. I'll clean it up later, and you two old people will rest. Wang Fang said as she began to wipe down the furniture of Zhang Wei's house.
Zhang Wei looked at his daughter-in-law as a matter of course, and was a little unhappy in his heart, but it was not good to refute her face in person. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Then it's hard for you, but don't work too hard." "
Li Ying was smarter, she saw Wang Fang's intentions, so she took the initiative to hand over the cleaning of the house to her daughter-in-law. She felt that instead of arguing with her daughter-in-law, it was better to follow her.
Within a few days, Wang Fang's reforms began. She rearranged all the furnishings in the house, and subverted the habits and lifestyles of Zhang Wei and his wife.
"Dad, you can't litter the house anymore. Mom, you should also pay attention to hygiene when cooking, and you can't just dirty the floor. Wang Fang corrected Zhang Wei and his wife little by little.
When Zhang Wei heard this, he only felt unreasonable and reasonable. After all, what his daughter-in-law said was common sense, but he was also very unhappy when he was preached in his own home.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Zhang Wei replied angrily.
Li Ying saw her husband's displeasure, so she hurriedly played a round: "It's okay, it's okay, Fangfang is right." Our old couple really needs to change it, and we must pay attention to it in the future. "
In this way, under the "reform" of Zhang Ming's family, the lives of Zhang Wei and his wife were completely changed. The way of life they were accustomed to was completely subverted by their daughters-in-law in their own homes. Although Zhang Wei was not very happy in his heart, he could only endure it temporarily in order to make money in harmony.
In the following days, Zhang Wei's life became more and more uncomfortable. Daughter-in-law Wang Fang simply regarded their home as her own territory, and pointed fingers and accusations at the lives of Zhang Wei and his wife.
One day, Zhang Wei was watching TV in the living room, and Wang Fang suddenly came out of the kitchen and walked up to Zhang Wei with a gloomy face.
"Dad, why are you throwing things in the living room again? Didn't I tell you how many times?" Wang Fang pointed to an empty drink bottle on the ground, and his tone was very dissatisfied.
Zhang Wei was accused by her like this, and suddenly felt a little innocent: "Is this considered littering? I just put it on the ground casually." "
"That's it, you're always in this sloppy style, and I always have to talk about you. Wang Fang counted Zhang Wei mercilessly, "Look at it, the ground is full of things you littered, and I clean every day as if I had fought a battle." "
Zhang Wei was a little panicked when he was said, and quickly admitted his mistake: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I will pay attention next time." "
Wang Fang snorted and walked away. Zhang Wei looked at her back, and his heart was mixed. He felt that he had completely lost the initiative in this family.
Li Ying saw her husband's distress, and hurriedly came over to comfort him: "It's okay, it's okay, Fangfang is just straighter, don't take it too seriously." "
"But we don't have freedom in our own homes. Zhang Wei said helplessly, "Even a trivial matter has to be talked about, and I don't dare to be at home anymore." "
Li Ying was also at a loss, so she had to persuade her wife to bear with her.
In this way, Zhang Wei and his wife lived a servant-like life in their own home. Daughter-in-law Wang Fang dictates their lives, and they can only obediently obey. Sometimes Zhang Wei would secretly complain to his son Zhang Ming about his daughter-in-law's practices, but Zhang Ming always tried every means to quibble and excuse his wife.
"Dad, don't always go against Fangfang. She does all this for our good, so you should be more considerate and considerate of her. Zhang Ming always said that.
When Zhang Wei heard this, he was angry and anxious, but he was helpless. The son is obviously completely coerced by his daughter-in-law, and he has no weight in his mind.
Just when the lives of Zhang Wei and his wife were at an impasse, an unexpected thing happened. One day, Zhang Wei suddenly fainted at home, and his condition was very critical. His son Zhang Ming rushed him to the hospital, and after examination, Zhang Wei had severe pneumonia.
"Hospitalization is required for observation. The doctor told Zhang Ming.
Zhang Ming nodded, then left the hospital and returned home alone. Zhang Wei was lying on a hospital bed, full of panic. He hoped that his son would come to visit him often, but he didn't expect that in the next 20 days, Zhang Ming did not appear in the hospital once.
Whenever the nurse came to change the dressing for Zhang Wei, he would look forward to seeing his son. But every time I was disappointed. Zhang Wei was lying on a hospital bed, extremely lonely and sad in his heart.
"What did I do wrong, and why did my son do this to me?" Zhang Wei often thinks so.
He had called Zhang Ming several times, but his son always prevaricated that he had been too busy with work recently. When Zhang Wei heard this, he was angry and funny. He felt that he had been abandoned by his son in the hospital.
Just when Zhang Wei was desperate, one day the nurse told him that he was ready to be discharged from the hospital because his physical condition had improved. Zhang Wei can finally leave this depressed and lonely place, and he looks forward to returning to his warm home.
However, the moment Zhang Wei pushed open the door, he was completely shocked by the scene in front of him. His home was a mess, full of debris and dirt. Zhang Wei called out the names of his son and daughter-in-law several times, but no one answered.
When he walked into the living room, he saw leftovers and stains everywhere, and garbage scattered on the floor. Zhang Wei felt unprecedented despair, and his heart was cold. The house he bought with his life savings has now been ruined like this. He shouted out his voice, and no one showed up.
Zhang Wei squatted on the ground, tears streaming out of his eyes. His heart was completely cold, and he felt that he had nothing left. His family has abandoned him, and his home is gone. At this moment of despair, Zhang Wei made up his mind that he would fight for his dignity!
The messy scene in front of him made Zhang Wei completely desperate. His son and daughter-in-law actually treated him like this, which was simply a slap in the face to all his efforts. Zhang Wei squatted on the ground and wept bitterly, his heart was completely cold.
At this moment, a crazy thought flashed through Zhang Wei's mind: Did something happen to them? He quickly picked up his mobile phone and called his son Zhang Ming, but no one answered. Zhang Wei dialed his daughter-in-law Wang Fang's number again, and he was also in vain.
"What did I do wrong? I dedicated my whole youth to my family, did I get this result?" Zhang Wei couldn't stop asking himself in his heart.
He remembered many years ago, when his son Zhang Ming was born. At that time, Zhang Wei and Li Ying loved this child so much that they spent all their energy and money on him. Zhang Wei even gave up his job in a big city and moved to this small city in order to give his son a better living environment.
But this son who he raised like a baby is now treating himself like this. Zhang Wei's heart was filled with endless anger and grievances.
"Am I doing something wrong? Am I teaching the wrong thing to create such a son?" Zhang Wei painfully self-reflected.
Just when the heavens and men in his heart were at war, a firm thought gradually took shape in his mind: No! I can't be crushed like this! I am a strong person, and I must fight for my dignity!
Thinking of this, Zhang Wei's eyes suddenly became much firmer. He wiped away his tears, took a deep breath, and regained his spirits.
In desperation, Zhang Wei had no choice but to seek foreign aid. He found a good friend of his son, hoping that the other party could help find out the whereabouts of Zhang Ming and Wang Fang.
"I really need to know where they're going. Zhang Wei anxiously said to his friend, "You must help me." "
Seeing that Zhang Wei was so anxious, his son's friend had no choice but to agree and began to follow the line to find the traces of Zhang Ming and Wang Fang.
In this way, Zhang Wei entered a state of extremely anxious waiting. He was looking forward to finding out the whereabouts of his son and daughter-in-law, but he was afraid of learning a cruel truth.
Finally, a week later, my son's friend finally found some clues. He told Zhang Wei that Zhang Ming and Wang Fang had secretly moved out of the city and went to other places to develop.
"What? They're gone?" Zhang Wei was extremely shocked, and then relieved.
It turned out that his son and daughter-in-law had abandoned him a long time ago, but he didn't realize it. Zhang Wei's heart suddenly felt a sense of complete relief, as if he had removed heavy shackles.
"In that case, then I am completely liberated. Zhang Wei breathed a long sigh of relief, and his eyes were full of hope again.
From that moment on, Zhang Wei made up his mind to live the life he wanted in his lifetime. He began to tidy up the house, tidying up everything left behind by his son and daughter-in-law. Looking at the gradual restoration of the tidy home, Zhang Wei's mood was more relaxed than ever.
"From now on, I will be my own master. Zhang Wei secretly said to himself, "I don't need anyone's charity anymore, I want to live the rest of my life in my own way." "
Yes, maybe life is like that, the more you give, the more vulnerable you are to being hurt and betrayed. But Zhang Wei will never give up on himself, he wants to live freely.
After experiencing this setback, Zhang Wei learned to be independent and self-reliant. He began to regain his hobbies and live a life of spiritual fulfillment. Sometimes, he thinks of his son and daughter-in-law, but there is no longer the anger and unwillingness he once had, and instead there is a kind of relief.
yes, then let them go. I don't need anyone's mercy anymore, I want to live my life in my own way!
Since then, Zhang Wei has completely freed himself from his dependence on his son and daughter-in-law. He began to live the life he wanted, and every day was full of energy and joy.
"That's what I want!" Zhang Wei happily said to his wife Li Ying, "From now on, let's enjoy the life of two people." "
Li Ying watched her husband regain his vitality, and she was sincerely happy for him. She knew that Zhang Wei experienced a huge blow, but finally came out of the haze and regained the joy of life.
Soon, Zhang Wei started his new life. He enrolled in the community's university for the elderly, where he took cultural courses such as calligraphy and Chinese painting. Every week, he would go to class on time, and in his spare time, he would discuss with his classmates and friends.
"Look at my new Chinese painting, but it took me more than a month of effort!" Zhang Wei proudly showed his work to the students.
"Great! Mr. Zhang's pen skills have made new progress. The students were full of praise.
Zhang Wei gained unprecedented confidence and a sense of accomplishment. He discovered that he also had a talent for art. If it weren't for the interference of his son and daughter-in-law, he might never have found out.
In addition to studying, Zhang Wei also joined the community's senior fitness team. Every morning, he would come to the park and follow his teammates to do exercises and do tai chi. Dressed in red sportswear, Zhang Wei looks energetic.
"Lao Zhang, you've been in really good shape lately! You're a few years younger than us!" Teammates jokingly.
"Haha, that's nature!" Zhang Wei laughed heartily, "I'm completely liberated now, I want to live well!"
Nourished by a healthy lifestyle, Zhang Wei's body becomes stronger and stronger every day. His mental state is also getting better day by day. Li Ying looked at her husband's change and was extremely relieved.
"I knew you were a strong man. Li Ying held Zhang Wei's hand and said, "As long as you are willing to cheer up, you will definitely be able to live the life you want." "
Zhang Wei nodded, his eyes resolute and persistent. Yes, that's how life is! As long as you are willing to cheer up, you will definitely be able to overcome the setbacks of fate.
In addition to studying and exercising, Zhang Wei also joined the volunteer team in the community. Every week, he takes time out to serve the lonely elderly in the community.
"Old man, I brought you a nutritious meal. Zhang Wei smiled and put the lunch box in front of the old man.
"Thank you, kid!" With tears in his eyes, the old man said with great gratitude.
Zhang Wei looked at the old man's pious eyes, and his heart was extremely warm. He feels that everything he is doing now is so meaningful.
In this way, under the nourishment of hobbies, sports and public welfare, Zhang Wei's life has become more and more exciting. He lived the life he had longed for for a long time, and every day was extremely fulfilling and happy.
Sometimes, Zhang Wei thinks of his son and daughter-in-law. But he was completely relieved, and he didn't hold any resentment about their departure. On the contrary, he was glad that he was finally free from their bondage and could live freely.
"Maybe that's just a chance fate gave me. Zhang Wei often thinks, "If it weren't for that blow, I might never have been able to live myself." "
Yes, that's often what fate is. When you think you've lost everything, you've just been reborn. Zhang Wei finally realized this truth.
In his new life, Zhang Wei has gained too much. He made countless like-minded friends, and his circle of life became more and more extensive. Sometimes he wonders if he would have been depressed by his son and daughter-in-law all the time.
Therefore, Zhang Wei is sincerely grateful to fate. It was fate that hit him, but at the same time, it also allowed him to rediscover himself. Now he is really living his own life.
Li Ying watched her husband's transformation, and her heart was extremely gratified. She felt that the greatest luck in her life was to marry a man as tenacious as Zhang Wei. She knows that as long as Zhang Wei is here, their lives will never be bleak.
