Li Ming, 34 years old, is a worker from the countryside. has been an orphan since he was a child, and he barely survived with the support of his fellow villagers. That was when Li Ming was 8 years old, his father was unfortunately killed while going out to work, and his mother died of illness a few years ago. It's too difficult to live alone, so I have a stepmother.
At first, the stepmother was not bad to Li Ming, at least on the surface. She gave Li Ming food and Li Ming to wear, and took care of Li Ming's daily life. But it didn't take long for things to start reversing.
At the beginning, Li Ming was cared for by her stepmother, who spoke to Li Ming in a good voice and persuasion. But gradually, Li Ming began to hurt her and provoke her with the point of "you are not Li Ming's mother".
"You're not my mother, why do you care about me!" Every time she educated Li Ming, Li Ming deliberately choked her with such words. Li Ming knew that this was simply unreasonable, but it was the child's little temperament that was making trouble.
The first time she said that, the stepmother tried to be as patient as possible. But after more times, she gradually lost her cool. Once, Li Ming impatiently confronted her again: "You are not my mother, why should you care about me!" As a result, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and beat Li Ming hard.
"If you dare to say that in the future, I'll break your dog's legs!" She said flatly. Li Ming was beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, his buttocks hurt hotly, and his legs were all bruised and purple.
But even if Li Ming didn't say these words in the future, he was still beaten constantly.
For example, Li Ming is always very sloppy and sloppy, and never tidies up his own grooming. She looked really sad, because in her opinion, a boy should be more resolute and not so unproductive.
Another example is that Li Ming's study is very poor, and he is basically an excuse to find teachers and classmates. When she found out, she was very angry, because in her concept, studying hard is the duty of a child.
and Li Ming is often lazy and doesn't do housework, so of course she is angry when she sees it. She thinks that Li Ming is too unspeakable, and he can't become a talent no matter how he grows up.
But Li Ming is a naughty child, how can he understand so many truths. So she began to discipline Li Ming harshly, and even beat him at every turn. In fact, she was quite painful in her heart, but in order to prevent Li Ming from going down the wrong path, she had to be ruthless
She always had a stern face at first, pointing fingers at Li Ming. Li Ming, a child, knows so many rules, and it is inevitable that he will do something wrong. Once she found out that Li Ming had any minor mistakes, she scolded Li Ming fiercely, and sometimes beat Li Ming.
Li Ming remembered that once, she found Li Ming outside and said that my mother had died a long time ago, so she took Li Ming to the yard and beat him with a branch.
Li Ming knew that Li Ming was wrong, but she was too much, right? Li Ming was 8 or 9 years old at that time, and he didn't understand anything. As a result, he was beaten and rolled all over the ground, his buttocks were swollen, and the most embarrassing thing was that Li Ming couldn't control his pee.
After that day, Li Ming couldn't raise his head at all in the eyes of the villagers. They all said that Li Ming's stepmother was vicious and ruthless, and she did this to a child. Li Ming himself was also extremely resentful in his heart, and he couldn't wait to leave.
But where else could Li Ming go? Li Ming is a country child, so poor that Li Ming has nowhere to return except for this family. Li Ming had no choice but to endure the beating of his stepmother and live a life that was worse than death.
As Li Ming grew up, his stepmother's discipline of Li Ming was not soft. Li Ming remembered that every time she saw Li Ming not paying attention to his studies, sloppy housework, or misbehaving, she would whip Li Ming mercilessly and beat Li Ming to the point of scolding her mother.
Once, Li Ming sneaked out to mess with the children in the village, and accidentally smashed the window of the neighbor's house. After Li Ming's stepmother found out about this, she was furious, directly pressed Li Ming in the yard, and whipped him more than 20 times with a bamboo stick, Li Ming's back was covered with blood marks, and it hurt Li Ming to death.
After seeing this, the villagers all pointed fingers at Li Ming's stepmother, accusing her of beating people too hard and simply abusing children. But she said confidently: "If your child is also so naughty, you can try not to fix him badly!" "
Yes, Li Mingming was really too naughty at the time, and he really deserved to be beaten. However, it is precisely because of such strict discipline from his stepmother that Li Ming gradually learned the truth of how to behave and deal with things, and he did not dare to do anything wrong.
It's just that what she did was too much, which also caused Li Ming to have some shadows and mustards for her. Li Ming sometimes thinks: If she was Li Ming's biological mother, wouldn't she be so cruel to Li Ming? But after thinking about it, I felt that even if it was my own flesh and blood, it was not the right thing to do.
It is because of this shadow that Li Ming was full of rebellion and anger towards his stepmother when he was an adolescent. Li Ming began to no longer listen to her, and became more and more indulgent in his studies and life.
Even if she was still strictly disciplined, Li Ming stubbornly fought to the end, and the relationship between Li Ming deteriorated and became a complete ice and fire.
In retrospect, during this stage of development, Li Ming did his best to provoke his stepmother. But Li Ming can't be blamed for this, because her too simple and crude approach makes it difficult for Li Ming to accept her so-called "education". Even though she tried her best to restrain Li Ming, it backfired because of the method.
Li Ming came and went like this, and the needle was pointed at Maimang, and it was a stalemate until Li Ming was 18 years old. That year, fate finally gave Li Ming a chance to solve this contradiction and entanglement......
When Li Ming was 18 years old, a painful thing happened. Li Ming's biological father was killed when he went out to work.
This bad news was like a heavy hammer, smashing into Li Ming's heart. Although Li Ming's father is away all the year round, he is Li Ming's father after all. Since then, Li Ming has really become the pillar of the family and shouldered the heavy responsibility of taking care of his stepmother.
At that time, the stepmother was also in a state of endless grief. Although Li Ming has had conflicts over the years, she is the wife of Li Ming's father after all. Heartbroken, she cried for several nights in front of her father's last photo.
Seeing this scene, Li Ming's heart was mixed. On the one hand, Li Ming understands her pain, because her father is also a close relative of life and death to her; But on the other hand, Li Ming felt that his stepmother's harsh and abusive behavior towards Li Ming in the past made it difficult for people to fully sympathize with her.
Li Ming's heart fell into huge contradictions and struggles. At one point, Li Ming even wanted to run away from home, and since then he has broken off all relations with her. Because in Li Ming's opinion, she has completely lost her qualifications to point fingers at Li Ming again.
But when Li Ming really had such thoughts, he found that there was still a trace of attachment in his heart. After all, although she had made a mistake in handling it in the past, she had indeed been trying her best to teach Li Ming the truth of how to behave in the world. It was her strict requirements that made Li Ming gradually grow from an unreasonable hairy boy to a more person. If Li Mingruo leaves like this, won't he live up to her hard work?
So after a painful struggle, Li Ming finally made up his mind to repay her education with filial piety. Li Ming secretly made up his mind to convince himself: even if she had hurt Li Ming in the past, Li Ming must not see her old and helpless. After all, she is over half a hundred years old, and it is the time when she needs Li Ming to take care of her son.
So in front of his father's spirit, Li Ming made a wish: no matter how his stepmother abused Li Ming, Li Ming would forgive her with filial piety and take care of her for the rest of her life. From that moment on, Li Ming's heart seemed to have been lifted from the heavy shackles and found the direction it should have been.
In the years after his father's death, Li Ming has been working hard in the city. In order to give his stepmother a stable living environment, Li Ming started as a grassroots worker, went through vicissitudes, and finally relied on his diligence and kindness to slowly have some savings.
Every time Li Ming returned to his hometown, he would see his stepmother alone. Although she never took the initiative to care about Li Ming, Li Ming knew that Li Ming, the last filial son and daughter of Li Ming's family, was the only one left. If even Li Ming leaves her alone, she will be helpless, and she can only wash her face with tears.
Therefore, after the economic conditions were barely rich, Li Ming resolutely decided to fulfill the most basic filial piety of his children and bring her to the city to live together. That decision really went through all kinds of entanglements and struggles!
On the one hand, there is the deep contradiction between Li Ming and Li Ming, and Li Ming still remembers the shadow of her abuse of Li Ming in the past; But on the other hand, there is an invisible filial piety that pulls Li Ming, and teaches Li Ming to forgive all her mistakes with a magnanimous mind and repay her teachings with filial piety.
Just when Li Ming was undecided, one day Li Ming inadvertently saw a couplet in the temple in his hometown: Killing a person can atone for his sins, and what is the resentment of life? The wise words of a moment were like an enlightenment, which made Li Ming suddenly enlightened. Oh, yes! It is better to tolerate all things with great compassion without complaint and tolerate all contradictions.
At the moment, Li Ming was reborn, as if he had been freed from a cage.
So after making up his mind, Li Ming immediately rushed back to his hometown and tried to persuade his stepmother to take him to the city. Although she was a little resistant and uneasy, she still reluctantly agreed under Li Ming's repeated guidance.
And just like that, the stepmother began her life in the city. The initial period was quite hard, because the sudden change in the long-term environment made it difficult for her to adapt.
But Li Ming still took care of her patiently and did his best to give her the greatest compassion. Although she couldn't completely let go of the hurt she had done to Li Ming in the past, Li Ming still treated her with a heart without regrets, cared for her with all her might, and never tired of it.
In a blink of an eye, a few years have passed, and Li Ming has finally gradually come to the point where only mutual understanding and consideration remain. Li Ming's tolerance dissolved her stiffness and mustard, and she also learned to repay Li Ming's filial piety with gratitude. The division and antagonism between Li Ming and the others were finally repaired and turned into peace and friendship.
How small the contradictions in life are, as long as you have a heart of great love that will never give up, you will eventually get the final salvation. This is the true meaning of Li Ming's mother and son's final resolution.
Family affection is not limited to blood relations, that is, the grace of fertility; It also includes mutual care and moral support in everyday life, known as nurturing grace.
Even in the absence of blood ties, strong family bonds can be built through genuine treatment and mutual understanding.
At first, the relationship between the two is full of tension and dissatisfaction due to the sternness of the stepmother and the resistance of the protagonist. However, over time, the protagonist begins to understand the pains and pressures of their stepmother, and this mutual understanding and forgiveness is the key to their ability to reconcile and eventually build a deep relationship.
In addition, the story emphasizes the reciprocity of family affection. Even though the stepmother's initial approach may have been wrong, her original intention was for the good of the protagonist, and the protagonist eventually gave the stepmother comfort and relief through understanding and forgiveness. This mutual giving is not only based on a sense of obligation, but also on the needs of the other party and one's own emotional drive.
It can be seen that family affection is a complex emotional interweaving, which is not only defined by blood or law. It is a deep bond built through mutual understanding, support and sacrifice. [Panda]
