Wang Yan, who entered the marriage hall, seemed to have not given her the blessings she wanted. After marrying into a wealthy family, she finds herself in a new and unfamiliar environment and faces unprecedented challenges to survive.
Her husband Wang Zhicai's mother was born in a prominent "Qing Dynasty Gege" family, and she strictly adhered to all kinds of complicated and cumbersome etiquette norms since she was a child. For Wang Yan, who has just arrived, her mother-in-law's attitude towards her is like a slave at home, which makes her feel at a loss.
Meal time is a stark example of this. The whole family has to wait patiently for her mother-in-law to arrive, and when she walks into the dining room, they need to stand respectfully to greet her. Only with the approval of the mother-in-law can everyone sit down and enjoy the delicious food.
Wang Yan had never experienced such red tape, and her heart was full of trepidation and uneasiness.
In addition, the mother-in-law's attitude towards Wang Yan is more like that of a maid at home. Once, when her husband was fond of fennel-stuffed dumplings, her mother-in-law ordered the nanny at home to be in charge of the noodles, and ordered Wang Yan to go out to buy fennel.
Wang Yan returned ecstatically with what seemed to be fennel, but was severely reprimanded by her mother-in-law in public. The mother-in-law was so angry that she called him "ignorant" and couldn't even make out the most basic fennel.
As a foreigner, Wang Yan has never received such teachings, she can only suppress the grievances in her heart and silently endure the reprimand of her mother-in-law. In the face of her mother-in-law's prejudice against her daughter-in-law, what can she do? She can only grit her teeth and endure it, hoping that one day she can win her mother-in-law's approval.
Fortunately, Wang Yan successfully conceived and gave birth to Lin'er soon after, and her status in this patriarchal family was finally improved. However, she never expected that the days ahead would still be full of trials and tribulations.
Wang Yan grew up in a warm and harmonious family environment since childhood. Although her family is not well-off, her parents care for her meticulously. From an early age, she showed a deep love for dance.
Upon learning of their daughter's aspirations, her parents did not hesitate to send her to a well-known local dance school for professional training.
It was on this land that the 15-year-old girl Wang Yan ushered in the first major turning point on the road of life. The dance school she attended enjoys a high reputation in the local area, and when the Beijing Dance Academy came to select outstanding students, Wang Yan successfully won this rare opportunity with her outstanding talent and hard work, with her incomparable love for dance and a beautiful vision for the future, she resolutely left her hometown and embarked on a journey to Beijing for further study.
Under the careful cultivation of the Beijing Dance Academy, Wang Yan's talent was fully unleashed. When she was 20 years old, a crew set foot in the academy to find suitable actors, Wang Yan successfully stood out from many competitors with her outstanding appearance and superb acting skills, won a valuable performance opportunity, and officially launched her acting career.
However, just as her career was about to take off, fate opened another chapter in her life. Through a friend's introduction, she met Mr. Wang Zhicai, a real estate magnate who was more than ten years older than herself.
When she first met Wang Zhicai, Wang Yan was not confused by his wealth. However, Wang Zhicai's firm pursuit and sincere love gradually moved her.
What touched Wang Yan even more was that during a hospitalization due to overtraining, Wang Zhicai took care of her carefully and gave her meticulous care regardless of his own safety. In the face of his affection, Wang Yan finally couldn't resist, and finally accepted his marriage proposal and entered his wealthy family.
After getting married, Wang Yan found herself in a completely new environment. Her husband Wang Zhicai's mother was born in the traditional "Qing Dynasty Gege" family, and she has extremely strict requirements for family education rules.
At meal time, the whole family must wait patiently for the mother-in-law to come. Whenever they saw their mother-in-law walking into the restaurant with a solemn face, everyone would respectfully get up to greet her, and even their breathing became cautious, lest they have violated any taboos.
Only with the approval of the mother-in-law can they sit down according to the rules and start tasting the food.
The first time she experienced such an occasion, Wang Yan was full of trepidation and acted cautiously, for fear that she would offend her mother-in-law by any negligence. However, when she actually sat down and looked at the sumptuous food in front of her, she found that she had no appetite, and the tension in her heart made her tasteless.
In addition, under those creepy rules, her mother-in-law's attitude towards Wang Yan is more like treating her as a slave at home. There was a time when her husband was very fond of fennel-scented dumplings, and her mother-in-law immediately assigned the kind maid in the family to be in charge of preparing the dough, but now she asked Wang Yan to go to the market to buy fennel.
With full expectations in her heart, Wang Yan went home happily with what seemed to be fennel, but what she ushered in was a stern accusation from her mother-in-law in public. The mother-in-law violently scolded her for being "ignorant" and could not distinguish even the most basic varieties of fennel.
The scene reappeared, and the mother-in-law looked serious, and her voice was full of impatience, like a sharp housekeeper admonishing an imbecile servant.
As a foreigner, Wang Yan had never experienced such an education, so how could she discern these cumbersome details? The shame and grievances in her heart came like a tide, and she could only bite her lip and bear all this silently.
Seeing that her mother-in-law has a deep prejudice against her daughter-in-law, what can she do?
Wang Yan not only has to endure her mother-in-law's strict family dogma, but even her own son Qiuqiu has brought her endless pain.
Wang Zhicai had a failed marriage and had a son, Wang Shuo. After Wang Yan married into this family, she naturally became Wang Shuo's stepmother. However, this stepson, who is known as the "evil young man in the capital", behaved dissolutely, which brought endless troubles to Wang Yan.
Once, Qiuqiu deliberately played tricks, discarded items on the floor at will, and even violently attacked the nanny next to him. Seeing her son messing around like this, Wang Yan could only persuade patiently, hoping that he could recognize and correct his mistakes.
Unexpectedly, instead of reining in, Qiuqiu intensified, crying loudly, and at the same time tearing Wang Yan's clothes, trying to attract her attention.
In the face of her son's lawless behavior, Wang Yan's emotions gradually got out of control, and she waved her hand and gave Qiuqiu a resounding slap. At this moment, Wang Shuo happened to witness this scene.
As an elder brother, he did not hesitate to return a heavy slap to Wang Yan, and the force was so fierce that he directly beat Wang Yan dizzy.
There were also several nannies present at the time, who witnessed this thrilling conflict. In an instant, Wang Yan felt endless grievances and embarrassment. She never expected that her biological son and stepson would hurt herself for such no reason.
Since that incident, Wang Yan has had a great estrangement from her son Qiuqiu. However, on the other hand, Qiuqiu himself seems to be aware of his mother's coldness, so at the recording site of a variety show, he did not shy away from telling the public about his injustice, accusing his mother of being strict and stingy, and only giving him the only 1,000 yuan pocket money every time.
Qiuqiu couldn't help but loudly reprimand Wang Yan for being "extremely ignorant" and relying only on his father's financial help. These words, to Wang Yan's ears, were as piercing as a needle prick and as painful as a knife cut.
As a mother who expects her child to become a dragon and a phoenix, her heart is full of endless pain and deep self-blame.
Tears rolled in her eyes, and her heart was as heavy as a boulder weighing down on her heart. She had been so eagerly looking forward to the family, but now it had become an insurmountable obstacle in her life, suffocating her.
Time flies, and the world changes. As time passed, Wang Yan's life finally got rid of the shadows and ushered in sunny days again.
The mother-in-law is getting old and her energy is declining, and she can no longer be as strict and admonished as she used to. The attitude towards her daughter-in-law Wang Yan has gradually changed to tolerance and understanding. After the eldest son Wang Shuo experienced many setbacks in his life, his original arrogant and uninhibited personality gradually converged, and the relationship with Wang Yan was also eased.
The most gratifying thing is that in the process of growing up, the youngest son Qiuqiu finally realized some of his misdeeds and began to care about his mother considerately.
Once, Qiuqiu took the initiative to brew a cup of fragrant black tea for Wang Yan and carefully served it to her, with a shy look on his face. When Wang Yan saw this scene, a warmth surged in her heart, and tears couldn't help but fill her eyes.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the changes in her sons that Wang Yan has regained her confidence and enthusiasm for life. She no longer choked up with tears due to sadness, but met the challenges of life with a bright smile and a confident attitude.
Occasionally, when she looks back on the past, she will also show a faint smile, and those past sufferings have drifted away with the wind.
Her husband Wang Zhicai has always loved her deeply, and has never been contaminated with any dust outside, and the relationship between the two has become deeper and deeper. With the prosperity of Wang Zhicai's career, the life of their family has become more and more superior.
It's no longer the hard life it used to be, but a carefree, well-fed and well-fed time.
Looking back on the past, Wang Yan often recalls the ups and downs of the past, but those have become history. She said firmly: "Life is like a light of indifferent salt water, with a little bitter taste emerging from time to time, but as long as we persevere, we will be able to appreciate the unique charm of sweetness."
Now, she is immersed in the luscious salt water, enjoying the warmth of the sun.
Wang Yan began to take the initiative to establish intimate relationships with her family and create a harmonious and warm atmosphere. She takes care of her mother-in-law's daily life with meticulous care and loves the growth of her two sons.
The family laughed and laughed, and happy smiles filled everyone's faces.
However, from the perspective of an onlooker, Wang Yan's wealthy life seems to be a nightmare: she is strictly controlled by her mother-in-law, unable to restrain her son's indulgence, and endured the violence of her stepson...... All kinds of gossip poured in, making people can't help but cast pity and sympathy for her life path.
However, this is not the case. Wang Yan has not experienced the miserable life that people imagine, she is just an ordinary woman who is trying her best to live and struggle.
The difficulties encountered in her marriage are just difficulties in her life journey, and there is nothing to make a fuss about.
After several twists and turns, she finally mastered the wisdom of surviving in a wealthy family. In the face of her mother-in-law's many rules, she can always deal with them calmly, and she can also skillfully resolve the willful and reckless behavior of her sons, and she is no longer as embarrassed and helpless as in the past.
What's more, her husband Wang Zhicai gave her endless care and support. It is this deep love that makes Wang Yan never choose to give up in the most difficult moment, but move forward firmly.
She knows that as long as husband and wife are together, no difficulty can stop them from moving forward.
Now, Wang Yan has fully integrated into the family and lived the beautiful life she has longed for. Every morning, she will take care of her mother-in-law's daily life carefully and thoughtfully, and care about her sons' study and life.
The family is happy, and the atmosphere of happiness permeates every corner.
Looking back on the past, Wang Yan will occasionally sigh at those hard years. But she doesn't see it as torture, but as a precious life experience. It is precisely because of these hardships that she can truly grow up and learn to cherish the happy life in front of her.
It can be seen that her wealthy life is not as full of bitterness and grievances as the outside world imagines, but with the twists and turns of the long road in her life, she gradually pursues her own happiness and happiness.
This may be the true meaning of life!
