My name is Wang Zhiyuan, 33 years old, and I am an ordinary office worker. I live in an ordinary city with a seemingly ordinary family. I work for a small company and earn only 12,000 yuan a month, but it is enough to support me and my family. My parents are retired and live in a tiny, old house that is the culmination of years of hard work.
I have a beautiful and virtuous wife named Li Lin. We met when we were in college, when she was the flower of campus in my eyes, and we fell in love and came together. For five years of marriage, our lives have been plain and happy. Although we don't have much wealth, there is enough love and understanding for each other to fill our lives.
Li Lin and I have a lovely daughter named Xiaoyu. She is our pride and brings us endless joy every day. She is smart and lively and always brings many joys and surprises in our lives.
However, one day, my family's happy life was suddenly shattered. It was a normal weekend, and I had just come home from work to find my home in chaos. Li Lin sat on the sofa with swollen eyes and tears on her face. And Xiaoyu hid to the side, looking at me in horror.
"Lynn, what's going on?" I asked, worried, as I walked over.
Li Lin sobbed and told me that she went out shopping with Xiaoyu in the afternoon, and met a group of drunken hooligans, one of whom actually did something to her. Although Xiaoyu was not hurt, Li Lin was frightened and insulted. A wave of anger welled up in my heart, but more of a powerlessness over myself. I'm just an ordinary office worker who can't protect my wife and daughter.
"I was wrong, I should have been more protective of you. I held Li Lin's hand and said with guilt.
"Zhiyuan, it's not your fault. Li Lin shook her head gently, "This society is like this, women are always at a disadvantage. ”
I was speechless and could only hold her tightly so that she could feel my comfort and firmness. But deep down, I knew I couldn't do anything about it. I want to do something to restore peace and dignity to our family.
Li Lin and I discussed it for a long time and decided to report the case to the police. Although we know that this will not change much, we feel that we must at least fight for some justice for our rights and dignity. So, I accompanied Li Lin to the police station and described in detail what happened to the police. The police said they would investigate the matter and try their best to find a reasonable solution for us.
While waiting for the police to investigate, I decided to take some practical action to protect our family. I knew that to make Li Lin and Xiaoyu feel safe, I had to make some changes. So, I decided to take back the house my parents had given us and move to a safer and more comfortable place. While doing so would have caused some financial strain on me and my parents, I felt it was worth it because the happiness and security of the family was more important than any money.
I found a small apartment in the heart of the city, small but very cozy. Li Lin and I renovated together to turn this small space into a harbor of our own. Whenever I see Li Lin and Xiaoyu smiling happily in their new home, I feel that everything is worth it.
However, I have not forgotten the progress of the police investigation. A few days later, they found several suspects who had attacked Li Lin and took them to the police station for questioning. After investigating, they found that these people were regulars at a nearby bar and often caused trouble. They confessed to the incident and expressed their willingness to bear legal responsibility.
Li Lin and I both felt relieved, at least our efforts were not in vain. While this doesn't completely eliminate our fear and anger, at least we know that the law will do justice for us.
After a lot of twists and turns, our lives have finally returned to their former peace. I continued to work for the company and worked hard to earn money to support my family. Li Lin also began to regain her old smile, and she told me that she should be stronger and not let anyone hurt us again.
I set aside 1,500 yuan a month from my salary to my parents, and although they said they didn't need it, I felt that this was what I should do. They have raised me for so many years, and now that they are old, I can't let them carry too much burden on their lives. I know that although they don't say it, they must be grateful and relieved in their hearts.
Although our family has experienced an unexpected turmoil, we have come out stronger and more united. I believe that as long as we work together, no difficulty can stop us from pursuing happiness.
Although our lives have gradually returned to normal, the impact of that incident on us is still there. Especially Li Lin, she often has nightmares at night and wakes up sweating profusely. I know that she has always had a fear and uneasiness in her heart that she can't get rid of.
In order to allow Li Lin to better release the pressure in her heart, I decided to take her to see a psychiatrist. At first, she resisted, feeling that she didn't need help, but I persuaded her that it was not weakness, but that she was responsible for herself. Eventually, she agreed to my request and we went to the counseling center together.
Under the guidance of a psychiatrist, Li Lin gradually learned some methods of relaxation and self-regulation. She began to do stress-relieving exercises every day, such as yoga and walking. I also try to be there for her and give her a sense of security and support. Slowly, her mood began to stabilize and her nightmares gradually diminished.
In addition to emotional support, I also do everything I can to keep our family safe. I installed surveillance cameras and strengthened the doors and windows of our home to make our home safer and more secure. I told Li Lin that as long as I was there, I wouldn't let anyone hurt her and Xiaoyu.
However, just when we thought everything had settled down, something unexpected happened. One night in a month, I was watching TV at home when I suddenly heard a sharp knock on the door outside. I was so frightened that I ran to the door and opened it, only to see a strange man standing outside the door, looking at me with an anxious face.
"Are you Wang Zhiyuan?" he asked.
"Yes, what are you looking for me?" I asked warily.
"Sorry to bother, I'm Li Lin's colleague, and I have something very important to tell you. His tone was tense and anxious.
My heart tightened, and I couldn't help but feel a hint of foreboding. I let him in, and he sat down on the couch with a panicked look and began to tell me something that I couldn't believe.
"Li Lin's ex-boyfriend, he ...... He showed up. ”
When I heard the strange man's words, I felt a flurry and panic in my heart. Li Lin's ex-boyfriend? I've never heard Li Lin mention her past, let alone have an ex-boyfriend. Countless questions and worries surged into my heart in an instant, and I didn't know what kind of impact this sudden news would have on our lives.
"Are you sure it's Li Lin's ex-boyfriend?" I asked, holding back the panic in my heart and trying to keep my composure.
The man nodded and said with a serious face, "Yes, I saw them together with my own eyes. ”
I felt dizzy and I didn't know what to do. Li Lin never mentioned her past to me, and I thought we had trusted each other, but now I found out that she was hiding such an important thing from me. My heart was filled with disappointment and anger, but more often than not, helplessness and confusion.
"Do you know his name, where is he now?" I asked eagerly.
The man shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. He just heard from other colleagues about it and came to tell me. I felt frustrated, I didn't know how to find Li Lin's ex-boyfriend, and I didn't know how to face Li Lin.
I thought about it and decided to go to Li Lin first to see if she knew about it. I called her and told her that a colleague had come to me and told her to get home as soon as possible. After a while, Li Lin hurried home.
"Zhiyuan, what are you looking for me?" Li Lin couldn't help but ask a little nervously when she saw my serious expression.
I was silent for a moment, then told her what the man had told me. After Li Lin heard this, her face instantly turned pale, and a trace of horror and helplessness flashed in her eyes.
"Zhiyuan, I'...... I didn't tell you because I didn't want the past to affect our lives. Li Lin said softly, "That man, he used to be my boyfriend, but we broke up a long time ago." I thought I had forgotten everything about the past, but I didn't expect him to appear in our lives. ”
I listened to Li Lin's explanation, and the anger and disappointment in my heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a deep sympathy and understanding. I know that Li Lin didn't mean to hide from me, but just wanted to protect our happy life. I hugged her tightly and told her not to worry, we would face this challenge together.
"We'll spend it together, and I'll protect you and Xiaoyu. I comforted softly.
Li Lin raised her head, her eyes full of gratitude and trust, "Thank you, Zhiyuan." I feel at ease to have you by my side. ”
Li Lin and I looked at each other and smiled, we knew that as long as we supported each other, there was nothing to fear from any difficulties.
With the help of that strange man, we finally found the contact information of Li Lin's ex-boyfriend. I decided to go to him myself and find out why he suddenly appeared in our lives. Although Li Lin was a little worried, she still supported me to solve this problem.
I asked Li Lin's ex-boyfriend to meet at a café. He was a middle-aged man, slightly emaciated, with a hint of melancholy and confusion in his eyes. I walked over and sat across from him, trying to break the ice.
"Hello, I am Wang Zhiyuan, Li Lin's husband. I greeted in a calm tone.
He raised his head and looked at me, with a hint of mixed emotion in his eyes, "Hello, Mr. Wang." I know that I have suddenly appeared in your lives to bother and upset you, and I am sorry. ”
I took a deep breath and tried to stay calm, "I want to know, why are you in our lives? You and Li Lin have broken up, what is your purpose in appearing by her side again?"
He was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "I know I have no right to interfere in your life, but I have one thing to tell Li Lin. ”
I was slightly surprised, not knowing what he was going to say. But I let him continue.
"After we broke up, I learned that Li Lin was pregnant, and that child ...... It's mine. There was a hint of sadness and regret in his words, "I have never forgotten her, I have always wanted to meet her, and I have always wanted to meet my children." ”
I listened to his words, and a deep shock welled up in my heart. I never imagined that Li Lin actually had an ex-boyfriend and a child I didn't know. I felt a pang of heartache and helplessness, and I didn't know how I was going to deal with it all.
"Would you like to meet Li Lin and the child?" I asked, even though I didn't want to.
He nodded, his eyes showing a hint of anticipation and longing, "Yes, I want to meet them." ”
I was silent for a while, then told him that I would think about it and discuss the matter with Li Lin. Although my heart was full of doubts and uneasiness, I knew that I could not make a decision unilaterally, and I must respect Li Lin's wishes and feelings.
When I left the café, I felt heavy. I don't know what kind of changes this sudden news will bring to our lives, but I know that I have to face this reality and do everything I can to protect our family.
