I am an ordinary housewife named Xiaofang. I was born in a small city and married to an ordinary worker named Li Liang. Our family is not wealthy, but we can make a living. My husband and I have been married for seven years and we have a lively and lovely daughter named Xiaoyu.
Our family stayed in a small cottage on the edge of the city, which was small but cosy and cozy. Our lives were peaceful until two years ago, when something happened that I didn't expect.
It was a sunny afternoon, and I was in the kitchen preparing dinner when I suddenly heard the doorbell ring. I wiped my hands, walked to the door, and when I opened it, an old lady in a plain cheongsam stood outside the door, her face was kind, and her eyes revealed a hint of determination.
"Hello, I'm Li Liang's mother, and I've come to see my granddaughter. The old lady said with a smile.
I thought to myself, this is the legendary mother-in-law. I politely invited her into the house and warmly served tea and water. She sat on the sofa in the living room, watching Xiaoyu play on the side, her eyes full of love.
"Your children are so well-behaved and sensible. The old lady smiled and said, "It seems that you are doing well." ”
I smiled and nodded, "yes, it's okay, it's okay." ”
The old lady took a sip of tea and suddenly frowned, "I have something to discuss with you." ”
My heart moved, and I didn't know what she was going to say, "Please speak." ”
The old lady sighed, "My son, although he is hardworking and willing to work, he just doesn't know how to save money." I'm afraid that he won't have money to spend when he gets old in the future, so I want to discuss with you and give us some living expenses every month, and I can help him manage his finances. ”
I was shocked when I heard this, I didn't expect my mother-in-law to make such a request. I looked at my husband with some embarrassment, and he was silent for a while, then finally nodded in agreement.
When the old lady saw that we agreed, she smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, I come to see my granddaughter every month and receive living expenses by the way." ”
From that day on, at the end of every month, my mother-in-law would come to our house on time with a smile and anticipation. Every time, I would prepare some home-cooked food for her, and she would eat it with relish and praise my cooking skills with satisfaction. Then, she would play with Xiaoyu for a while until she was satisfied, and then take the living expenses and go back happily.
The appearance of my mother-in-law gave us a warm feeling as a family, and I gradually treated her as my own mother. Every time she came, I would talk to her for a while, and sometimes I would ask her to help with household chores.
However, all good things are short-lived. Just one sunny Sunday a year ago, my husband and I were busy at home with housework when we suddenly received a phone call from my husband's brother. On the other end of the phone, my brother's anxious voice came: "Second brother, mom is sick, come over quickly!"
When I heard the news on the other end of the phone, I panicked. I hurriedly discussed with my husband what to do, and we hurriedly packed our things and drove to the hospital in my husband's hometown.
In the hospital, I saw my mother-in-law lying on a hospital bed, her face was pale and she looked very weak. The husband and his brother were anxiously gathered around the bedside, asking about the doctor's diagnosis.
"Doctor, what's wrong with my mother?" asked her husband anxiously.
The doctor frowned and said heavily, "Your mother's condition is quite serious, and it is already in the advanced stage. ”
When my husband and I heard this, our hearts sank. I looked at my mother-in-law, who was pale, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in my heart.
"You try to find a way to treat it, and you must save your mother. The husband said in a choked voice.
The doctor smiled wryly, "We'll do our best, but prepare for the worst." ”
I stood silently on the sidelines, my mind mixed. I know this is a huge blow to my husband, who has a deep relationship with his mother, who has always been a mountain in his heart and one of the most important people in his life.
During the few days in the hospital, my husband and I took turns taking care of my mother-in-law and tried our best to help her with her pain. Every day, I prepare some light and easy-to-digest food for her, make her happy, and chat with her, hoping to make her feel better.
However, despite our best efforts, my mother-in-law's condition is getting worse day by day. As she died, she held my hand tightly, her eyes full of endless love and nostalgia.
"Xiaofang, I'm leaving, you must take care of my son and granddaughter. The mother-in-law said in a weak voice.
I nodded with tears streaming down my eyes, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I will." ”
My mother-in-law's last words made me feel a heavy responsibility. I deeply understand that from now on, I will have to take on more responsibilities to take care of this family and take care of my husband and daughter.
After the death of her mother-in-law, the whole family was enveloped in grief. The husband was saddened and often sat alone on the edge of the bed silently, letting tears flow down his face. And I tried my best to comfort him and let him know that he was not alone in all this.
However, after the grief, we have more challenges to face. In the first month after my mother-in-law's death, I waited to receive my mother-in-law's regular living expenses, only to find that my father-in-law refused to give us a penny.
"Father-in-law, what about living expenses this month?" I asked hesitantly.
My father-in-law looked at me coldly, his eyes full of disdain, "Living expenses? From today onwards, I will never give you a penny again." ”
I was shocked when I heard this, and I didn't know why my father-in-law suddenly made such a decision. I tried to persuade him, but he was unmoved, insisting that it was the right thing to do.
"If only you could support yourselves, don't count on me. The father-in-law muttered, turned his head and walked away.
I stood there, dazed. I didn't expect the Guild to suddenly become so cold and treat my husband and me. From that moment on, I began to realize that our lives were going to be even more difficult.
Faced with the sudden change in my father-in-law, I felt extremely confused and aggrieved. I tried to figure out why, but I couldn't do it. My husband was also very frustrated, and he persuaded me not to pay too much attention to it, saying that my father-in-law might have been in a bad mood because of the death of his mother-in-law, so he made such a decision.
However, I knew in my heart that my father-in-law's attitude was not just because of the death of my mother-in-law. Perhaps, he has always been dissatisfied with us in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it because his mother-in-law was alive before.
As the days passed, my husband and I began to gradually adjust to life without a mother-in-law. I am still busy taking care of the housework and the children every day, trying to keep my family life as undisturbed as possible. And the husband also worked hard, hoping to earn more money to fill the void in his life.
However, despite our efforts, life is still full of difficulties and challenges. Without my mother-in-law's monthly living expenses, the burden on our family has become even heavier. We need to pay for our children's tuition, living expenses, and some family expenses.
"Husband, what do you think of our life now?" I said to my husband with some frustration.
The husband was silent for a while, then shook his head with a wry smile, "It's true that it's a bit difficult now, but I'm sure we'll get through it." ”
My heart was sour, and I sighed helplessly as I looked at my husband's tired expression. Perhaps, I should also work harder to find some ways to help us get through this difficult time.
In the days that followed, I began to actively look for job opportunities, hoping to improve my family's living situation through my own efforts. Every day, I search for various job postings on the Internet and keep submitting resumes, hoping to have a stable job to help my family.
At the same time, I also started to focus on saving money, minimizing unnecessary consumption and saving every penny. I learned to make simple handicrafts and started a small online store online, hoping to increase some of my family's income in this way.
However, despite my efforts, little has been achieved. I've sent in a lot of resumes and never received a response. Although some of my handicrafts have been sold, they are far from enough to support the expenses of the whole family.
"Husband, I think our life is really hard right now. I said to my husband a little dejected.
My husband looked at me and patted me lightly on the shoulder, "Don't be discouraged, I'm sure we'll find a way." ”
I was thinking about my child's future and the responsibilities of my family, and I suddenly felt a strong determination in my heart. No matter what difficulties I encounter, I will not give up easily, and I will try to find solutions to make our lives better.
In the days that followed, I continued to work hard to find job opportunities, while also constantly trying various ways to increase my family's income. My husband and I discussed how to cope with the difficulties in our lives and hoped to find a path to happiness.
In the process, I gradually understood some truths. I realized that family happiness is not achieved by money alone, but more importantly, we understand each other, support and trust each other. Although we encountered many difficulties, we never gave up our trust and support for each other.
During this difficult time, the relationship between my husband and I has also become stronger. We support each other, face life's challenges together, and work together to create a better future. I know that as long as we keep going, everything will get better.
However, just when we thought everything was going to get better, something happened that I didn't expect. It was a fine weekend and I was cleaning up my room at home when I suddenly heard the doorbell ringing.
I walked to the door and opened it, and a strange man stood outside the door, looking a little anxious. He looked at me and asked, "Are you Xiaofang?"
I nodded, "Yes, do you have anything to do with me?"
The man looked at me with a somewhat complicated expression, "I'm a friend of your father-in-law, and he asked me to come to you." ”
My heart moved, and I wondered why my father-in-law suddenly sent someone to look for us. I looked at the man quizzically, waiting for his next step.
The man looked around and whispered, "Have you received any strange letters or phone calls lately?"
I was shocked when I heard this, and hurriedly shook my head, "No, we haven't received anything strange recently. ”
The man frowned, looking a little worried, "You must be careful, I heard that some unknown people have been looking for you recently, and it may be that someone wants to harm you. ”
I was shocked when I heard this, and I didn't know what was going on. I quickly thanked the man for the reminder and closed the door.
"Husband, have you ever received some strange letters or phone calls?" I asked anxiously.
The husband shook his head, "No, we haven't received anything strange lately. ”
I became more and more worried, not knowing what was going on. Was it because of my father-in-law's sudden change of attitude? Or was there something else? I began to ponder the matter, trying to find a plausible explanation.
However, no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't find a plausible explanation. I can only hope that it was just a misunderstanding and that everything would slowly settle out.
Over the next few days, I started to become more vigilant and vigilant. My husband and I discussed what we could do to keep ourselves and our children safe, hoping to avoid unnecessary trouble.
However, just when I thought everything would slowly subside, suddenly something happened that I couldn't believe. It was an ordinary afternoon, I was doing housework when I suddenly heard the phone ringing.
I walked to the living room, picked up the phone, and heard a strange man's voice on the other end of the phone: "Hello, I am a staff member of XX company, I want to confirm if you have received a mysterious letter recently?"
I was shocked and didn't know what was going on. I replied in a calm voice, "I'm sorry, I haven't received any mysterious letters. ”
The man listened, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Okay, that's good." If you receive any suspicious letters or phone calls, please be sure to report them to the police. ”
My heart sank when I heard this, and I didn't know what was going on. I tried to contact my father-in-law, hoping to get some explanation, but the phone never got through. I became more and more uneasy and began to worry about the safety of my family.
I felt more and more anxious and uneasy, not knowing what was really going on at home. The sudden change in attitude of my father-in-law, the warnings of strangers, and the mysterious letters and phone calls, everything made me feel incomprehensible. I tried to contact my father-in-law to find out what was going on, but I never got a response.
In such a situation, I can only choose to remain vigilant and keep an eye on the safety of my family at all times. My husband and I discussed what measures should be taken to deal with possible risks and hopefully protect ourselves and our children.
"Husband, what should we do?" I asked anxiously.
The husband pondered for a while, then said, "We can't sit idly by, I think we should call the police and let the police investigate." ”
I nodded, thinking that my husband's proposal made a lot of sense. "Yes, we should call the police. "Only when the police intervene can we find out the truth of the matter." ”
So, we decided to call the police immediately. I picked up the phone, dialed the police station, and told the police what had happened. The police soon sent someone to start an investigation into our family.
Over the next few days, the police conducted a detailed investigation of our family. They retrieved our call logs, surveillance footage, and analyzed the mysterious letters we received, hoping to find some clues to solve the mystery.
During the investigation, my husband and I also actively cooperated with the police and told them everything we knew. We hope that the police will find an answer as soon as possible and help us get out of this predicament.
However, after several days of investigation, the police never found any clues, nor did they find any suspicious people or organizations. I felt more and more anxious and didn't know how things were going to turn out.
Just when I was feeling helpless, I suddenly received a phone call. I picked up the phone and heard a familiar voice on the other end of the phone: "Xiaofang, I am your father-in-law." ”
When I heard my father-in-law's voice, I was pleasantly surprised, but at the same time I felt a little worried. "Father-in-law, what's wrong with you, why can't I get in touch with you for so long?" I asked eagerly.
The father-in-law was silent for a while, and then said, "Xiaofang, I know that a lot of things have happened to you recently, and I'm sorry for not contacting you in time." ”
My heart tightened, and I didn't know why my father-in-law would say that. "Father-in-law, what happened, what do you know?" I asked eagerly.
The father-in-law sighed and said, "Xiaofang, in fact, I did everything. ”
When I heard my father-in-law say this, I was shocked. I couldn't believe my ears and didn't know why my father-in-law would do such a thing.
"Father-in-law, why the hell are you doing this?" I felt extremely confused and aggrieved, "Why are you doing this to us?"
The father-in-law was silent for a while, and then said, "Xiaofang, I know what I did wrong, but I really can't help it." ”
I wondered what my father-in-law was talking about. "Father-in-law, what's wrong with you, why are you treating us like this?" I asked anxiously.
The father-in-law sighed and said, "Xiaofang, in fact, everything is because I am in debt, I owe a lot of debts, and I can't pay them back. ”
Hearing my father-in-law say this, I felt a sadness in my heart. I didn't expect my father-in-law to do such a thing for such a reason.
"Father-in-law, why don't you tell us?" I felt extremely aggrieved, "we can find a way to solve it together." ”
The father-in-law was silent for a while, and then said, "Xiaofang, I know what I did wrong, but I have no choice. ”
My heart ached, and I didn't know what to do. "Father-in-law, don't worry, we will definitely help you through this difficult time. "We will all stick together as a family and face difficulties together." ”
My father-in-law listened to my words, was silent for a while, and then said, "Xiaofang, thank you." I know I owe you so much. ”
I shook my head, "Father-in-law, it's not your responsibility alone, we're a family, and we'll get through it together." ”
With my father-in-law's apology and my comfort, our relationship became even closer. I know that although we have encountered many difficulties, as long as we unite and work together, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and create a better future.
