I am an ordinary housewife named Li Xue. My husband Liu Qiang and I have been married for six years. Although we are not rich and rich, our lives are quite ordinary and happy. Liu Qiang is an approachable person, and he treats me well, but our marriage has always lacked a warm family atmosphere. Well, that's my mother-in-law.
My mother-in-law, surnamed Wang, Wang Lihua, is a typical traditional Chinese mother-in-law. When we first got married, I was an ignorant little girl, and she started picking and choosing from me. She always felt that I was not good enough, that I was not diligent enough in housework, and that she always compared her to my mother. I grew up in a single-parent family, my father died early, and my mother was the only one pulling me. My mother is a gentle and kind person, she is always tolerant and considerate to me. I have never suffered much since I was a child, I love to read, and I am full of fantasies and hopes for life.
However, when I entered my in-laws' house, my life began to change drastically. Every subtle movement of my mother-in-law made me feel stressed, and her every word pierced my heart. In front of my mother-in-law, I always felt that I was not good enough to please her, and even I began to doubt my ability and worth. Liu Qiang seems to be accustomed to this, although he will also stand up for me, but he is always unable to do it. After all, it is always difficult for a man to choose between his mom and wife.
I remember one time, my mother-in-law was sick and was told by the doctor that she needed to be hospitalized. This is the first time I have seen her so helpless, and she is usually aggressive, but now she is like a wounded bird, which is unbearable.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Liu Qiang asked anxiously, his eyes full of worry.
"It's fine, it's just a little dizzy, it's not a big deal. The mother-in-law said forcefully, but I could see that her face was a little pale and her steps were a little staggering.
I hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said gently, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, we will take you to the hospital immediately." ”
The mother-in-law smiled a little embarrassedly and nodded. In the hospital, after a series of examinations, the doctor told us that my mother-in-law's physical condition required hospitalization for observation and treatment for a period of time.
In the ward, I saw my mother-in-law lying helplessly on the bed, and my heart ached. She is always so confident and strong, but now she seems so fragile, I can't help but feel a sense of pity.
"Mother-in-law, rest assured and have a good rest, we will take care of you. I comforted her softly.
The mother-in-law nodded, and there was a hint of gratitude in her eyes. I know that maybe at this time, she also needs a little care and pampering.
During my time in the hospital, I would visit my mother-in-law in the hospital every day, wipe her body, feed her, and take care of her. Liu Qiang also worked day and night, taking care of his mother-in-law tirelessly. Although my mother-in-law has always had a bad temper, during this period of illness, she seems to have become much gentler, and she has been a little more grateful and caring for me and Liu Qiang.
"Cher, thank you for your hard work. My mother-in-law said to me softly, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.
I smiled and shook my head, "Mother-in-law, this is as it should be." You can rest assured that we will always be there for you. ”
When my mother-in-law heard my words, a hint of emotion flashed in her eyes, and she stretched out her trembling hand and held my hand tightly, as if to express the gratitude and dependence in her heart.
I gently held her hand, and my heart was full of emotion. Perhaps, during this period of illness, there have been some subtle changes in our relationship, and it is no longer so rigid and cold.
However, just when I thought everything was going to get better, my mother-in-law's words completely shattered my beautiful illusions.
"Cher, you're here. "My mother-in-law said with a smile when she saw me come in.
"Mother-in-law, I've come to see you. I replied gently, still having the words of my mother-in-law in my heart.
"You see, I've lost so much weight. The mother-in-law pointed to her cheek and said with a wry smile, "I guess I've lost ten pounds." ”
My heart tightened, and I didn't know why my mother-in-law brought up this topic. I gently comforted, "Mother-in-law, your body is the most important thing now, don't worry too much about your weight." ”
The mother-in-law shook her head, "Alas, in this society now, women can't be fat at all, otherwise no one will want them." ”
I listened to my mother-in-law's words, and my heart couldn't help but sink. Although her words were self-deprecating, I could feel the helplessness and bitterness contained in them. Traditionally, a woman's worth seems to be linked to her appearance and weight, and this concept has always influenced our lives.
"Mother-in-law, don't worry too much about this, the most important thing is good health. "I tried to comfort her.
The mother-in-law smiled, but did not speak. There was a hint of bitterness in her smile that made me feel distressed. Perhaps, this society has really given her too much pressure and burden, making her feel at a loss.
I silently stayed by my mother-in-law's side, and my heart was full of understanding and care for her. Perhaps, at this time, she needs more than our care and care, but also a warmth and support from the heart.
"Cher, you're such a good boy. My mother-in-law suddenly grabbed my hand, tears flashing in her eyes, "I know that I am not good to you and your wife, but you have never complained, and you have always taken care of me so dutifully." ”
I gently shook my mother-in-law's hand, smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, this is what we should do." You are our elders, and we will do our best to take care of you. ”
Mother-in-law's tears couldn't stop flowing, "Alas, I also know that I usually have a bad temper and am always harsh on you couples, but I really do it for your good." ”
I was moved by the fact that my mother-in-law's meanness and strictness were not due to malice, but from her concern and love for us. Perhaps, in her heart, we are always her dearest and most important people.
"Mother-in-law, don't worry, we will always be by your side. I said to her solemnly.
The mother-in-law nodded, wiped away her tears, and a smile gradually appeared on her face. Perhaps, at this moment, the distance between us is no longer far away, but has become closer.
The days of hospitalization passed, and my mother-in-law's condition gradually improved. The doctor said she could be discharged from the hospital and just needed to recuperate at home.
"Mother-in-law, it's great that you can finally be discharged from the hospital!" I said to her happily.
"yes, I want to go home too. The mother-in-law said with a smile, "However, after being discharged from the hospital, you still have to take care of it, and you can't worry about it anymore." ”
"Mother-in-law, don't worry, we will always take care of you. I said to her solemnly.
"Alright, alright, you two don't talk about it. The mother-in-law smiled and waved her hand, "I know you have me in your hearts, and that's enough." ”
Liu Qiang and I glanced at each other, and our hearts were full of gratitude and love for my mother-in-law. Perhaps, after this experience, our relationship is no longer so stiff and distant, but has become more intimate and harmonious.
On the day I was discharged from the hospital, my family came together to pick up my mother-in-law and go home. Liu Qiang drove the car, I sat in the passenger seat, and my mother-in-law sat in the back. The car drove all the way through the familiar streets, and the mood was particularly pleasant.
"Mother-in-law, you see, the vegetables in our garden are growing so luxuriantly. I excitedly introduced myself to my mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law smiled and nodded, "Yes, you are really careful to manage everything in the family, I am very pleased to see it." ”
Liu Qiang joked: "Mom, when you go home, we will eat more of the good dishes you cooked, so that you can take care of your body." ”
When the mother-in-law heard this, she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll cook you a sumptuous meal when I go back." ”
The car drove into the community, and we successfully sent my mother-in-law home. The mother-in-law walked into the house and looked at the familiar furniture and furnishings, her eyes full of emotion.
"Mom, you're back!" Liu Qiang's sister Liu Lin also walked out and greeted her mother-in-law with a smile.
The mother-in-law kindly took Liu Lin's hand and said with a smile: "Lin'er, it's been a long time, and you are becoming more and more beautiful." ”
When Liu Lin heard this, she smiled shyly, "Mother-in-law, you praised me." ”
Our family sat around the living room, drinking tea and chatting. The mother-in-law's face was filled with a happy smile, and at this moment, the home was filled with a warm and happy atmosphere.
"Mom, are you okay, do you need our help?" asked Liu Qiang with concern.
The mother-in-law shook her head, "It's okay, it's okay, you just think I don't exist, I'll take care of myself." ”
Liu Qiang and I looked at each other and smiled, our hearts were full of love and gratitude to my mother-in-law. Perhaps, after this experience, our relationship has become more intimate and harmonious. No matter what difficulties and challenges we will face in the future, we will always support each other and get through it together.
