My mother was finally discharged from the hospital, and before she went home, I dried her bedding for two days early and cleaned the room so that she could live comfortably.
When she heard the news that her mother had come home, the neighbors came to visit, so she chatted with everyone and looked very happy.
When they left, she seemed to be preoccupied again, took my hand and talked about the past, and I was sad and moved after listening to it.
My name is Wen Mei, I am 34 years old and have been married for 10 years.
My husband Liang Wei and I were high school classmates, and later we were admitted to the same university, and we walked back together during the holidays, and slowly we fell in love.
After graduating, we both returned to our hometowns and found jobs that we loved.
Then, we are ready to announce our relationship to both families and discuss marriage with them.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I said it, I was strongly opposed by my parents, and they asked me to go on a blind date, the purpose of which was to break up Liang Wei and me.
I don't know why they objected, Liang Wei is kind and filial, kind and sensible, and treats me very well, and people who know him praise him as a good guy.
Later, my parents told me that Liang Wei was good, but his father died when he was in junior high school. In order to treat him, his family's savings were all spent, and he borrowed a lot of debts, which everyone knows.
After that, his mother asked Liang Wei to go to live in school, and she went to other places to work as a nanny.
My parents felt that the burden on his family was too heavy, and said that the nanny was a servant, and they didn't want to be in-laws with her.
I don't agree, what's wrong with the nanny, people earn money with their own labor, and what's wrong with not stealing or robbing?
However, my parents just couldn't listen to persuasion, and said that if I had to get married, it would be unfilial, and they wouldn't want me as a daughter.
After Liang Wei found out, he came home to compensate my parents and asked them to fulfill it, but he was scolded back.
Later, Liang Wei's mother rushed back from other places and also came to my house to intercede for me and Liang Wei. My parents didn't let people in.
Seeing that my parents were so ruthless, Liang Wei couldn't help it, he didn't want me to break up with me because he had a stiff relationship with his family. Of course I didn't agree, and no one could stop the people I had set my sights on.
I approached him and persuaded him to get a marriage license, and his mother saw that she was out of the way, so she bought us a house in the local area.
Although it is only a two-bedroom apartment, my mother-in-law bought it in full. We have our own small family, and she has also returned to other places to continue working as a nanny.
In the second year of marriage, I became pregnant, so my mother-in-law quit her job as a nanny and returned to her hometown to take care of me.
My mother-in-law loves cleanliness and has very skillful hands, and she has been working as a nanny for a professor couple in a big city for more than ten years.
The old couple treated her very well, although the requirements were more classy, but the mother-in-law cooked and cleaned up the housework always satisfied them. Therefore, the salary offered to her is also very high.
My mother-in-law jokingly said, let me also enjoy the professor-level service.
Over the years of working as a nanny, although her mother-in-law has a lot of salary, she never spends money indiscriminately, and she saves it.
The professor's family is in charge of food and housing, and the good clothes she wears are all given by the professor's wife, which looks very tasteful.
My mother-in-law doesn't cook for us every week, and she doesn't feel sorry for me at all, she says that she does the same work every day as she did at the professor's house, except that she returned to the small county town from the big city.
Under the careful care of my mother-in-law, everything went smoothly throughout my pregnancy. A few months later, she gave birth to a big fat boy of 6 pounds and 9 taels.
The mother-in-law said happily that she suddenly became a nanny and confinement wife. My colleagues are very envious of me, saying that not only my husband is good to find, but my mother-in-law is so versatile, and they all praise me for my vision.
I am very proud, firstly, because I know Liang Wei and know that he is honest and reliable, and secondly, I have heard him talk about family affairs, and I know that my mother-in-law is very hard-working, very capable, and very good at hurting people. Why don't you marry such a good family?
When I got married, my parents didn't attend, but my mother-in-law still gave me a bride price of 60,000 according to our customs here, and there are many other etiquettes that should be there.
Later, every New Year's Day, she would take Liang Wei and me to take the children to visit my parents. Whether they return the gift or not, as long as they let us in, she is happy.
Last month, my mother was dizzy and admitted to the hospital, and when my mother-in-law found out, she and our family of three bought something to visit her.
My brother and sister-in-law basically didn't care, so my mother-in-law asked Liang Wei and me to take turns taking care of them there. Knowing that my father couldn't cook, and that the hospital food was not good, my mother-in-law cooked a sick meal at home every day for my parents to eat together. For more than 20 days in a row, every day.
On the day my mother was discharged from the hospital, my mother-in-law went to the hospital again and told her to recuperate after returning home.
When I got home from the hospital, my mother told me that fortunately, I had a resolute attitude and wanted to marry Liang Wei desperately, otherwise I would never have the happiness I have today.
It turned out that my parents had long planned for me to marry Huang Youjin, a nouveau riche from our place. Although he was ugly, his family was rich and he had several houses in the county and city.
The Huang family once asked someone to come to kiss, and my parents thought that I would marry him, and I would definitely be able to ask for more bride price, so that my brother would have the bride price money for his marriage.
Therefore, as soon as they heard that I was going to marry Liang Wei, who was very poor, and that his mother was still a nanny, they were ten thousand unhappy.
They not only hated me for being angry, but also hated Liang Wei for breaking their wishful thinking. But they can't help me. Therefore, there has always been a knot in my heart, that is, I don't want to have anything to do with the Liang family.
Later, they heard that when Huang Youjin got married, he gave his daughter-in-law a lot of dowry. But he relied on a lot of money to raise a junior outside, and he was still a domestic violence man, and his daughter-in-law couldn't stand being beaten, so he filed for divorce.
Huang Youjin only agreed to the divorce, but he didn't want to share the property with his daughter-in-law, and went to her mother's house to threaten her, which was well known in the county.
When my mother said this, her face was still ashamed, and she asked me to go home and say sorry to my mother-in-law again for them, and asked me to honor my mother-in-law in the future.
I was also a little glad in my heart that I felt that I had married the right person. In fact, I don't have any unique vision, I know that marrying someone is actually marrying character.
As long as we choose the right person, even if we are poor, it is only temporary, as long as we work hard and take care of our family diligently, we will live a good life sooner or later.
I am also glad to have a good mother-in-law, unlike other people's families all day long mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts, in fact, whether it is marriage or family, everyone has to respect and tolerate each other, one party cheats, the family will not be peaceful.
May every family cherish fate and live in harmony.
