The older generation has many children, and many parents are eccentric, patriarchal families favor their sons, and families with many children favor the eldest son or the youngest son, and I, as the daughter in the middle, can not give a good word to the most.
I have been supporting my mother for 10 years, but my mother is quite dissatisfied with me and wants to go to my eldest brother's house to live, but when I really sent her to my eldest brother's house, my eldest brother and sister-in-law turned around and sent my mother to a nursing home!
Some people asked me to go to the nursing home to take my mother back to their home for the elderly, and some people said that the old lady should be allowed to suffer in the nursing home for a few months, so that she can remember my goodness, what should I do?
My name is Yan Furong, I am a logistics teacher at the university, a brother, a sister and a sister in the family, and my mother is patriarchal with four sisters.
My sister is not at home, she is afraid of her husband, so she doesn't dare to pick her up, my sister is young, there are two sons at home, and my brother-in-law is busy earning money for my son to marry a daughter-in-law, and when it comes to the only male in my family - my brother, it is even more unexpected.
My brother is afraid of his wife, his wife is a tigress, and he beat his daughter-in-law away, and he doesn't care about my mother, so there is no way to be the only one.
My brother, he's a complete bastard! Speaking of which, aren't they all afraid of his wife?
Once my mother fell at home, my brother was so good that he didn't dare to let my mother live in his house, so he took my mother's salary card directly.
If it weren't for my daughter, my mother would have gone wrong! Just such a thing, my mother was angry and counted me down, saying that I was not filial and deliberately did not let her live in her son's house, but how did she know that I withstood the pressure just to take care of her!
Since then, my mother has simply moved to my house, and I have lived for ten years. I have to go to work to make money to support my family, and I have to come back quickly after work, for fear that something will go wrong with my mother at home alone, but such a filial daughter, in the eyes of my mother, it is also revenge.
She is looking forward to the day when she can go to my brother's house to live, with a son, daughter-in-law, and grandson to serve, but my brother's family is holding back a bear's energy, if my mother lives in his house, then she will not be angry to death?
I persuaded her not to drill there, but was treated as a nail in the eye, saying that I was obstructing her mind, and then my brother had a car accident and injured his leg, and my mother was so excited that she could go to her son's house for a few days.
I advised her not to daydream, but she always felt that her son's home was her final destination, and she thought about it every day, and I was distraught with it.
If it weren't for her age, it is estimated that her life would have to be explained to her brother's family! I had a hot brain at the time, so I sent my mother directly to my brother's door, but who knew that my brother's family was too harsh on my mother, so I sent my mother directly to the nursing home after only two days of getting along.
I went crazy at that time, rushed to my brother's house, scattered them, and then went to the nursing home to pick up my mother, and my mother woke up and knew that I was good.
But her past really broke my heart, lying alone in bed at night, I began to recall the past, after bringing my mother back from the nursing home, how I served her, relatives can't see it.
I used to get up early in the dark to do housework, make a table for my mother to eat before going to work, and it was common for her to be counted down when I came back from work, but I endured it, who let her be my mother.
I just hope that one day, she can open her swollen eyes for many years, and see who in this world loves her more than her daughter, but she is confused, plausible to me, and all day long regards her daughter-in-law, who is "evil" in her eyes, as a talking point.
My eldest sister, who is a daughter-in-law, was kicked out of the door by her in-laws two years ago, is she pitiful? My sister is not much better, my son always extorts money, forcing her and her husband to give money, and even their pension money has been pinched.
If you want to say that there are four sisters, I am indeed the only one left to get by, but I will only make ends meet, how can I have extra savings for my parents.
It is our sisters and children who provide for the elderly, but parents would rather believe in their sons and husbands than their own daughters.
My mother is like this, she would rather believe in my brother who is a big man, than trust her daughter who has served her for so many years, every time she mentions her brother, her eyes are shining and her face is crimson, but what about my brother, he has done all kinds of ugly things, and the wife he married is a typical tiger wolf daughter.
After all, my mother is too partial, and she looks down on us girls, so she wants me to serve her until she is old? She got carried away, hoping to go to my brother's house without food and clothing, but wait and see, her own son will only cheat her out of money, and then I am afraid that I will not even have the shade of the bones.
Once, I was serving my mother at home for dinner, and she began to talk about my brother again, and I was angry with her at that time, and I figured out that over the years, her love for her son and her neglect of her daughter were all out of the patriarchal concept that she couldn't get rid of.
I couldn't bear it anymore, and poured out all the resentment in my heart to her:
"Mom, you value your brother so much? But since he was a child, which time has he done a little bit of filial piety? Eat, drink, and Lazar are counting on you to serve, and when you grow up, you will neglect the old and young in the family, and your son will beat your daughter-in-law, you will turn a blind eye, I have worked hard to take care of you alone for more than ten years, but you have never taken me seriously! "
As soon as I opened my mouth, it was like a volcano erupting, and I vomited out all the grievances of many years, and my mother was stunned by my words, and she looked at me in a daze, her eyes dimmed, as if she was in deep thought.
I saw that she didn't react for a while, so I could only continue: "You look down on our sisters, and you only hope to have a son to serve you, but Mom, when did his brother come to see you?" Have you ever been given a decent birthday present? You hurt all of us sisters once in order to please him! Now that you are old, he will not come to take care of you, he will only abandon you in a nursing home, like garbage! "
I choked up as I spoke, tears rolling in my eyes, and my mother finally reacted at that time, her eyes were gloomy and she said in a low tone: "Fleur, it's my mother who can't stand you... You're right, Mom has always been partial to her son and neglected your good. "
Hearing this, I was even more heartbroken, I knelt in front of my mother, tears rained down: "Mom, I have been for so many years, in fact, I hope you can recognize my filial piety... You are revenge on us, have we done something wrong? We serve you so well, don't you understand us like that? "
I cried so much that I was almost out of breath, and my mother finally relented when she saw this, reached out and gently patted the top of my head, and said earnestly: "Silly daughter, Mom knows it's wrong... Don't cry, Mom won't treat your sisters badly in the future, you are Mom's dearest and most beloved baby daughter. "
Hearing this, I was completely relieved, it turned out that my mother finally realized the goodness of her daughter in her old age, and finally recognized the true face of those children.
I held my mother's hand and kept stroking the back of her hand, and my heart was as happy as a hammer, and from then on, my mother treated us sisters like a different person, and slowly made up for all the prejudices and alienations before.
After that cruel remark, my relationship with my mother was like a new beginning, she began to let us sisters have dinner frequently, and always gave us a few words and jokes, and her mouth was no longer long and short.
In the past, she obeyed her son's words, but now it's good, as soon as her son is wrong, she is the first to count back, once my brother was hospitalized because of a work injury, my mother didn't go to see him, but came to my house for a few days, saying that she was afraid that there was no one at home.
When I heard this, I was happy, and I thought that the resentment of these decades had finally been resolved.
After hearing that my brother knew, he also sat on the ground and cried bitterly, but he finally realized that the time when he was filial to his parents had passed, and now no matter how much he pleased, his mother's heart had been completely taken away by our sisters.
In this way, everyone's relationship finally warmed up, my brother began to take the initiative to help the family, and my mother no longer regarded him as a precious son, treating him as equal as our sisters.
Our sisters also began to give our mother as much living expenses as possible, after all, she finally opened her mind and knew that her daughters were her closest relatives.
Sometimes my mother will sigh that it would be nice if she had opened her mind earlier, and she would have suffered less grievances and torture, but she said that even if she was late, at least she did not come to the end of her life, and being able to be raised by her daughter with such filial piety was the greatest comfort to her old bones.
Mom has lived in our house for more and more time, and her body has recovered a lot, and she even took the initiative to say that she wants to live by herself, not wanting to cause trouble to her daughters in her old age.
After discussing it, my sister decided to rent a small house for her near her home, and we would take turns to take care of her every day.
In this way, the four of us sisters finally became a family again, and even the eldest brother, who once ignored his children, was also included in the arms of the family, and sometimes he would consciously come over to help, happily taking care of the housework for his mother, as if he wanted to make up for the mistakes of the past decades.
Mom often said that the greatest luck in her life was that she finally recognized the goodness of her daughters before she died, although it came a little late, but it was better than nothing.
She is ready to be surrounded by her daughters and serve with filial piety in the last days of her life, and our sisters are finally no longer belittled by our own mothers and have received the love and respect we deserve.
The world is obsessed with patriarchal stereotypes, often ignoring the important contribution of daughters to the family, until the year of the sixtieth year, the mother realizes that the most valuable filial piety in the world often comes from the silent dedication of daughters.
Under the sound of "daughter's home", there is a lot of hard work and suppressed grievances, and the warmth and happiness of the family is not the patent of the son, but also needs the dedication and protection of the daughter.
Only when patriarchal parents let go of prejudice and care for their lifetime with equal eyes can the essence of the family truly return to warmth.
The years fly by, the years are old, when one day looking back on the past, maybe you will understand what is the real filial piety, the love and harmony of the family, not in the glory and wealth, but in mutual understanding and tolerance, an ordinary family is like this, in the baptism of the years, stripped off the coat of paranoia, and found the true appearance.
