Wang Li, a 50-year-old rural woman, lives alone in an old house in the countryside. Her son Li Dong is a white-collar worker with an annual salary of up to 300,000 yuan. Despite his son's successful career, the relationship between the two is not harmonious.
"I'm doing well in the country alone, why do you have to let me move to the city?" Wang Li frowned and looked at her son sitting opposite in puzzlement.
"Mom, it's too inconvenient for you to live alone in the countryside. My family and I feel that you should move into our house so we can take care of you and you don't have to worry about so much. Li Dong patiently explained.
"But I'm used to living independently, and I don't want to be a burden to you." Wang Li shook her head, "Although I live a simple life in the countryside, I am very comfortable. "
"How can you be a burden? You are our family and of course we take good care of you. Li Dong stretched out his hand and shook his mother's hand, "You should have come to enjoy your son's filial piety." "
Wang Li sighed, she knew that her son had good intentions, but she really couldn't adapt to the rhythm of life in the city. She worries that she will become a burden to her in-laws, and she does not want to be tied to other people's life circles.
"Son, I know what you want, but I really prefer to live in an old house in the country. It's a place I've lived my whole life and I'm used to it. "
Li Dong looked at his mother's determined eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, then let you continue to live here." I'll be coming back to see you often, though, and feel free to let me know if I need any help. "
"Okay, so be it." Wang Li showed a hint of a smile, but she was a little worried in her heart. She knew that her son had good intentions, but she really couldn't adapt to the life of being cared for.
In this way, Wang Li continued to live alone in an old house in the countryside, and occasionally her son and in-laws would come to visit her. However, she gradually found that in the eyes of her family, she seemed to have become a burden that needed to be taken care of.
One day, when Wang Li was helping with housework at her in-laws' house, she accidentally broke an expensive vase. The family members were immediately furious, and loudly scolded her for being clumsy and breaking such a valuable thing.
"You old woman, you are so careless! I brought this vase back from abroad, do you know how much it costs?" The mother-in-law was so angry that her face turned red.
Wang Li felt embarrassed, lowered her head and didn't dare to speak. She knew in her heart that in the eyes of her family, she was a burden that needed to be taken care of.
From that day on, Wang Li became more and more reluctant to go to her in-laws' house to help. She felt like a servant in their house, and she had endured cold eyes and blank eyes.
One day a month later, Wang Li quietly bought her old house back. She decided to move back to live on her own and no longer cause trouble to her son and family.
When Li Dong found out about this, he was immediately furious. "Mom, how can you do this? We're all here for your good, why don't you understand?"
Wang Li gritted her teeth and said firmly: "Son, I don't want to be a burden to you anymore. I'd rather live a simple life in the countryside than be looked down upon. Your lifestyle is completely different from mine, and I'm really uncomfortable. "
Li Dong was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, "Okay, since you insist on doing this, then I can't help it." But you live alone in the country, and I'm still worried about your safety. But now that you've decided, I'll visit you regularly and help you fix the house so you can live comfortably in a familiar environment. "
Wang Li nodded gratefully, "Thank you for your understanding, son." I know you have good intentions, but I really want to be able to live independently and live the life I want. "
In this way, Wang Li moved back to her old house and regained the joy of independent life. Her son and family gradually understood her thoughts and began to respect her choice. They came to visit Wang Li regularly to help her with some household chores, and the relationship between the mother and son became more harmonious.
Wang Li feels that she has rediscovered the meaning and value of life. She understands that while independent living is important, the care of her family is also indispensable. Only with the support of her family can she truly find her own way of life and live a happy and healthy life.
After moving back to her old house, Wang Li felt that her life had become much easier. She can live at her own pace, do what she loves, no longer be controlled by others, and don't have to worry about causing trouble to others.
Sometimes, Wang Li also goes to the town market to buy some daily necessities. She likes to chat with her familiar neighbors and hear interesting stories about their lives. This simple communication made Wang Li feel the warmth of life.
One day, Wang Li was watering flowers and plants in the yard when she suddenly saw Li Dong hurrying over.
"Mom, how did you get the house back? Shouldn't you move into our house?" Li Dong asked anxiously.
Wang Li stopped what she was doing and said calmly: "Son, I told you a long time ago that I prefer to live independently here. I don't want to be a burden to you, and I don't want to be looked down upon. "
"But we're all for your good! Why don't you understand?" Li Dong said a little angrily.
"I appreciate your kindness, but I would rather be able to live the life I want." Wang Li held her son's hand, "Son, I know you are thinking about me, but I really prefer the lifestyle here." "
Li Dong was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, "Okay, since you've decided, then I can't help it." But you live alone in the country, and I'm still worried about your safety. "
"Don't worry, I'll take care of myself." Wang Li said comfortingly, "And you will often come to visit me and help me with some housework." Our family still comes and goes often. "
Li Dong nodded, "Okay, then I will come to see you regularly, and I will also help you repair the house so that you can live here comfortably." "
"Thank you for your understanding, son." Wang Li said sincerely.
After that, Wang Li took the initiative to communicate with her family and expressed her thoughts. The in-laws also didn't understand at first, thinking that she was too stubborn.
"Why don't you want to move into our house? Don't you know that living conditions are better there?" The mother-in-law said with some dissatisfaction.
"I know your living conditions are good, but I prefer to live independently. I don't want to be a burden to you. Wang Li said sincerely.
The in-laws were silent for a long time, and finally nodded, "Since you insist so much, we can't help it." But you have to take care of yourself and let us know if you need help. "
"Thank you for your understanding. I will be a guest at your house often, and we should live in harmony as a family. Wang Li said sincerely.
In this way, Wang Li, Li Dong and their families reached a consensus. Her in-laws will visit her regularly to help her with some housework. Wang Li will often go to her in-laws' house as a guest, and everyone gets along in harmony.
Wang Li feels that she has finally found a way of life that satisfies everyone. She can live independently, but she will not lose the love of her family. This balance makes her feel happier and healthier than ever.
After moving back to her old house, Wang Li felt that her life had become much easier. She can live at her own pace, do what she loves, no longer be controlled by others, and don't have to worry about causing trouble to others.
Every morning, Wang Li would get up early and do farm work for several hours. She likes to grow her own vegetables and take care of her poultry. This not only ensures the freshness of the food, but also makes her feel that her life has purpose and meaning.
"In the past, I used to have trouble washing the dishes at my in-laws' house, and I was taken care of like a child every day. Now that I'm back in my house, I feel much more relaxed. Wang Li said with emotion while feeding the chickens.
"Our family gets along very well now. We respect and support each other. It's a really good feeling. Wang Li said with a smile.
Over time, Wang Li gradually found the meaning and joy of life in her independent life. She is no longer constrained by the fast pace of city life, but is able to live at her own pace and do what she loves.
Every morning, Wang Li would get up and do some farm work first. She enjoys growing her own vegetables and taking care of her poultry. This lifestyle close to nature made her feel more peaceful and content than ever before.
"In the past, I was always taken care of like a child at my in-laws' house, and I even found it troublesome to wash the dishes myself. But now that I'm back in my house, I feel much more relaxed. Wang Li said with emotion while feeding the chickens.
In the afternoon, Wang Li would make herself a pot of tea and sit on a small stool in front of the door to bask in the sun. She loves the laid-back pace of life and is no longer bound by the rush of city life.
"I really enjoy this life. I have the freedom to organize my own time without being tied down by the pace of other people's lives. Wang Li smiled and said, "I finally found my original self." "
Wang Li also often goes to the town market to buy some daily necessities. She likes to chat with her familiar neighbors and hear interesting stories about their lives. This simple communication made Wang Li feel the warmth of life.
"The people here are very friendly and everyone helps each other. I used to be a stranger in the city, and no one cared about me. Wang Li said with a smile.
On weekends, Wang Li's son Li Dong and her family will come to visit her. They helped Wang Li repair her house and purchase daily necessities. Her family members also gradually changed their attitude towards her and became more friendly and respectful.
"Mom, we'll help you repair the house and make it more comfortable." Li Dong said with concern while checking the water leakage problem in the house.
"Thank you so much. I'm really glad you guys understand what I'm thinking. Wang Li said sincerely.
The in-laws also took the initiative to help Wang Li with some housework, such as cleaning and cooking. Wang Li felt that in their eyes, she was no longer a burden to be taken care of, but a family member worthy of respect.
"Mom, we will come to see you often in the future, and we will also help you with some housework. Just enjoy your life here. The mother-in-law said gently.
Wang Li nodded gratefully, "Thank you for your understanding and support." I will also visit your house often, and we will have to come and go as a family. "
In this way, Wang Li rediscovered the joy of life in her familiar environment. While living independently, she also feels the love of her family. This balance makes Wang Li feel unprecedented satisfaction and happiness.
"I am really grateful to my son and family for understanding and respecting my choice. I understand that while independent living is important, the care of family members is also indispensable. Wang Li said softly.
She understands that only with the support of her family can she truly find her own way of life and live a happy and healthy life.
Wang Li often recalls all kinds of discomfort and contradictions when she moved to her in-laws' home. She remembers how stubborn and self-respecting she was, unwilling to accept help from others. But now she understands that while living independently is important, it also needs the understanding and support of her family.
"I was too self-respecting to accept the kindness of my son and family. I take their concern as an insult to me, which is so selfish. Wang Li said with emotion.
Now Wang Li has found a balance in her life. She can live independently, but she will not lose the love of her family. This made her feel happier and more fulfilled than ever.
"I am glad that my son and family were able to understand and respect my choice in the end. Our relationship has also become more harmonious. Wang Li smiled and said, "I think only with the support of my family can I truly live a happy and healthy life." "
Wang Li often invites her son and family members to her home. They share the bits and pieces of life together, chat and talk about their hearts. Wang Li felt the warmth of her family and the weight she had in their hearts.
"Our family gets along very well now. We respect and support each other. It's a really good feeling. Wang Li said with relief.
Sometimes, Wang Li will also take the initiative to visit her in-laws' house. She will help with some household chores and chat with her in-laws. The family was also very happy to get along with Wang Li and felt her warmth and kindness.
"Mom, you're just in time, I just need your help cooking." The mother of the in-laws said with a smile.
This kind of harmonious family relationship made Wang Li feel unprecedented happiness. She understands that while independent living is important, the love of her family is also indispensable. Only with the support of her family can she truly find her own way of life and live a happy and healthy life.
Today, Wang Li lives the life she likes in her familiar old house. Her son, Li Dong, and his family visit her regularly, and their relationship has become more harmonious.
