In the east of the village, Lao Li's family has been in a uproar recently. Xiao Li, the only son of the old Li family, died in an accident a few days ago, and the family had just finished the funeral, but before anyone could recover from their grief, his daughter-in-law Xiaohong eloped with a man named Xiaogang halfway through the funeral.
This matter spread ten, ten, hundreds, and soon became a hot topic in the village. The villagers were talking, some shaking their heads and sighing, some pointing and pointing. Lao Li's family was even more disgraced, hiding at home all day long and not going out.
Xiaohong was originally a very responsible woman, and since marrying into the Li family, she has been diligent and filial to her in-laws. But since the death of her son, she seems to have changed as a person, chattering all day long, and her soul is not guarded. Lao Li and the old woman also noticed that something was wrong with Xiaohong, but thinking that she had just lost her husband, she felt uncomfortable, so she didn't say anything.
On the day of the funeral, the sky was overcast, as if it was a sign of something. Xiaohong was wearing a black mourning dress, but there was no trace of sadness on her face. From time to time, she looked around, as if looking for something. Lao Li and the old woman saw it in their eyes, and they couldn't help muttering in their hearts.
Halfway down, Xiaohong suddenly stopped and said that her stomach was uncomfortable and she wanted to go for convenience. Lao Li and the old woman didn't think much about it, so they let her go. But I waited left and right, but I didn't see Xiaohong come back. Lao Li began to get anxious and looked for people everywhere. At this time, a sharp-eyed villager pointed to the distance and said, "Look, isn't that Xiaohong, how is she with that man?"
Lao Li looked in the direction pointed by the villagers, and saw Xiaohong holding hands with a young man, talking and laughing and walking outside the village. Lao Li was suddenly furious and trembling with anger. He rushed over, grabbed Xiaohong's arm, and asked loudly, "What are you doing here? Where are you going?"
Xiaohong was taken aback by Lao Li's sudden move, she broke free of Lao Li's hand, and said with a panicked face: "Dad, I'm ...... I just want to get out and about and get some air. ”
"Breathable? You breathed when you were at the funeral? You are still holding hands with this man? Are you going to elope?" Lao Li was so angry that his voice trembled.
Xiaohong was silent for a moment, then raised her head and said with a determined look in her eyes: "Dad, I know it's wrong for me to do this, but I really don't want to stay in this house anymore." I feel bad and I need a fresh start. ”
When Lao Li heard this, he was so angry that he almost turned his back on it. He pointed at Xiaohong's nose and scolded: "You are an unfilial daughter, your husband has just left, and you want to run away with others? Do you still have a conscience? Have you ever thought about our family?"
Xiaohong's tears swirled in her eyes, but she couldn't hold back her tears. She bit her lip and said, "Dad, I know I'm sorry for you, but I really can't stay any longer." I...... I'm pregnant. ”
As soon as these words came out, Lao Li and the villagers present were stunned. Xiaohong lowered her head, and tears finally burst out of her eyes. She choked up and said, "This kid ...... It's Xiaogang's. I know I'm wrong, but I don't really know what to do. ”
Lao Li was stunned in place, speechless for a long time. He never thought that Xiaohong, who he had always regarded as a good daughter-in-law, would do such a thing. He felt like a knife, angry, hateful and helpless.
At this moment, Xiao Gang also walked over. He stood beside Xiaohong, his head bowed, and he looked like he had done something wrong. He whispered, "Uncle, I know I'm wrong, but I really like Xiaohong." I'll be good to her, I'll be responsible. ”
Lao Li looked at the two young people with mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't know how to deal with this matter, and he didn't know how to face the comments and accusations of the villagers. He sighed, waved his hand, and said, "You guys go, I don't want to see you again." ”
Xiao Hong and Xiao Gang glanced at each other, then silently turned around and left. Their figures gradually disappeared at the entrance of the village, leaving Lao Li and the villagers standing in place, looking at each other, not knowing what to say.
This incident spread in the village and became a topic of conversation after dinner. Lao Li's family couldn't raise their heads in the village because of this. But no matter what others say, Lao Li knows in his heart that this matter has become an eternal pain in their family. He can only hope that Xiaohong and Xiaogang can live a good life and stop worrying about him, an old man.
Since Xiaohong and Xiaogang left, the life of Lao Li's family seems to have been overshadowed. Lao Li sighed all day long, and the old woman cried silently, both of them immersed in the grief of losing their son and daughter-in-law.
One evening, Lao Li sat on the stone bench at the door, looking at the village at sunset, and his heart was mixed. At this time, the old Liu Tou in the village came over, he patted Lao Li's shoulder, sighed and said, "Lao Li, don't take it too seriously, things have happened, we can only accept it." ”
Lao Li raised his head and looked at Lao Liu, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes: "Lao Liu, what kind of evil do you say I have done in my life, how can I do such a thing?"
Old Liu Tou shook his head and said, "This is all fate, we people are all led by fate." But don't be too pessimistic, you have to live a good life, don't you?"
Lao Li smiled bitterly and said, "Go on?" I don't even dare to go out of the door now, for fear of being pointed at." ”
Old Liu Tou sighed and said, "What others think, that's someone else's business." The important thing is that you look up to yourself. The matter of Xiaohong and Xiaogang, although disgraceful, is not unforgivable. After all, they are young and have made mistakes, and we have to give them a chance to mend their ways. ”
Lao Li listened to Lao Liutou's words, and felt a little better. He nodded and said, "What you say makes sense, too. I just hope that they can live a good life in the future, and stop worrying about us old people. ”
The two chatted for a while and then went home. Lao Li sat in the room, thinking about Lao Liu's words, and his heart gradually calmed down. He knew that no matter what was going on outside, life had to go on. He has to live strong for himself and his wife.
However, the matter of Xiaohong and Xiaogang left a deep imprint in Lao Li's heart. He began to reflect on whether he didn't care enough about his son and daughter-in-law that led to today's situation. He also began to think about how he could get along better with his family and prevent similar tragedies from happening again.
This is the end of the story, but the reflections left for us are far from over. In modern society, the complexity and fragility of family relationships are becoming increasingly prominent. How should we face and deal with contradictions and conflicts in the family? How should we maintain family harmony and stability? These questions may be answered differently in everyone's mind. But in any case, we should cherish the family, cherish the relatives around us, and manage and maintain this rare family relationship with our hearts.
Now, let's leave your thoughts in the comments section. Do you think Xiaohong and Xiaogang's behavior is forgivable? How do you think Lao Li should face and deal with this matter? Or, do you have any better suggestions that can help Lao Li and his family get out of the shadows and rebuild the harmony and happiness of the family? Let's discuss together, think together, and contribute our wisdom and strength to the harmony and stability of family relations.
