"Grandma, I have a question for you." Xiao Jie's voice echoed in the living room, and there was a subtle determination in his eyes. Mother Li was sitting on the sofa, holding the remote control in her hand, ready to change the channel, when she heard her grandson's words, her movements suddenly stopped, and she turned her head to look at Xiaojie, her eyes full of doubts.
"What's wrong, Xiaojie? Just ask any questions. Mother Li's voice was gentle, but she couldn't hide the tension in her heart.
Xiaojie stood in the center of the living room, surrounded by his family, his father Li Qiang, mother Wang Li, and several relatives. He took a deep breath and said, "Grandma, why does Dad hit Mommy once every time he sees you?" After they divorced, you moved in, were you really happy? ”
As soon as the words ended, the entire living room fell into a dead silence. Li Qiang's face instantly turned pale, and Wang Li lowered her head, her eyes red. Mother Li opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't make a sound.
"Xiaojie, how can you talk like a kid!" Li Qiang's voice was angry, he stood up and walked towards Xiaojie.
"Li Qiang, sit down!" Mother Li suddenly said loudly, her voice trembling a little, but more firm. Li Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then slowly sat back in his chair.
"Xiaojie, grandma must be very uncomfortable knowing that you asked this question." Mother Li looked at her grandson, her eyes were full of guilt, "Grandma also needs to think about this problem." ”
"Mom, this kid is not sensible, don't take it to heart." Wang Li raised her head, her voice a little choked.
"No, Wang Li, this kid is a good question." Mother Li interrupted Wang Li's words, "This is a problem that our family needs to face well. ”
Mother Li stood up, walked up to Xiaojie, and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Xiaojie, grandma will have a good talk with your parents about this issue." We can't run away from it all the time, it's time to face the problem and solve it. ”
Xiao Jie nodded, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes. He knew that the raising of this problem might bring a storm to his family, but he also knew that only by facing the problem could he find a solution to the problem.
Li's mother sat on the edge of the bed, holding a yellowed photo tightly in her hand, which was a photo of her and Li Qiang when she was young. Xiaojie's question was like a needle, stinging her heart. Her eyes wander between photographs and reality, as if searching for some kind of answer.
"Mom, you haven't slept yet?" Li Qiang gently pushed open the door, and when he saw his mother's appearance, his voice involuntarily softened.
"Li Qiang, come here." Mother Li's voice was a little hoarse, she beckoned, and motioned for Li Qiang to sit beside her.
Li Qiang hesitated, but still walked over and sat opposite his mother. Mother Li handed him the photo, "Look at this photo, how happy you were smiling at that time." ”
Li Qiang took the photo, glanced at it, and quickly lowered his head, "Mom, it's all over." ”
"yes, it's all gone." Mother Li sighed, "However, the problem between you and Wang Li can't just pass like this. ”
Li Qiang's face sank, "Mom, this is my business with Wang Li, don't worry about it." ”
"No, it's my business." Mother Li said firmly, "I am your mother and a member of this family. Xiaojie's words made me realize that I can't just sit idly by. ”
Li Qiang frowned and did not speak. Mother Li continued: "Xiaojie is a sensitive child, and he sees all your problems. For him, it was a disservice. ”
"Mom, I know." Li Qiang's voice was low, and there was a hint of guilt in his eyes.
"If you know it, you have to change it." Mother Li's tone became stern, "You can't always run away, you have to face problems bravely." Wang Li is a good woman, she deserves to be treated well. ”
Li Qiang was silent, his eyes a little confused. Mother Li stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "Li Qiang, it's time for a change." ”
Li's mother's words were like a warm current, warming Li Qiang's heart. He raised his head and looked at his mother, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, "Mom, I understand." ”
The next day, Li Qiang took the initiative to find Wang Li, and they sat on a bench in the park and began a long-lost in-depth exchange. Xiao Jie watched quietly on the swing on the side, and he saw that the tension between his parents seemed to have eased, and a glimmer of hope swelled in his heart.
When Li's mother was sorting out the old things at home, she inadvertently found a diary of Li Qiang's childhood. She was originally just curious, but she didn't expect that this dusty diary would reveal secrets for many years.
"Qiangzi's diary when he was a child, I didn't expect him to keep it." Mother Li muttered softly, her fingers gently flipping the yellowed pages.
The diary recorded the bits and pieces of Li Qiang's childhood, and one of them particularly caught her attention. The diary describes Li Qiang's witnessing his father's violence against Li's mother, filled with fear and anger.
"It turns out... I see. Mother Li's voice trembled a little, and her eyes moistened.
She decided to talk to Li Qiang. In the evening, Li's mother waited for Li Qiang to come home in the living room. As soon as Li Qiang entered the door, he felt the unusual atmosphere of his home.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Is something wrong? Li Qiang asked a little nervously.
"Li Qiang, come here, let's talk." Mother Li's voice was calm, but her eyes were firm.
Li Qiang hesitated, but still sat opposite his mother. Mother Li handed him the diary, "Do you remember this?" ”
Li Qiang took the diary and saw the diary that recorded the shadow of his childhood, his face instantly turned pale, "Mom, why are you...?"
"I stumbled upon this." Mother Li interrupted him, "Li Qiang, did you become ...?"
Li Qiang was silent, his eyes dodged, and he didn't dare to look directly into his mother's eyes. Mother Li continued: "Li Qiang, violence cannot solve the problem. You treat Wang Li like this, it's not the solution to the problem. ”
"I know, Mom." Li Qiang's voice was low, and his eyes were full of pain and struggle, "However, I just can't control myself." ”
"We need to help you." Mother Li held Li Qiang's hand, "Let's go talk to a professional person together, okay?" ”
Li Qiang raised his head and looked at his mother's concerned eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart, "Mom, thank you." ”
Mother Li's discovery and proposal brought new hope to the family. Li Qiang began to receive psychological counseling, and Wang Li also showed unprecedented support and understanding. Xiaojie saw the changes in his parents, and his heart was gradually filled with expectations for the future.
Mother Li sat in the living room, with a cup of tea in front of her. Her eyes were determined, and she already had a plan in mind. Wang Li walked out of the kitchen, saw Mother Li, her footsteps paused slightly, and then walked over slowly.
"Wang Li, let's talk." Mother Li's voice was calm, but there was an unquestionable determination.
Wang Li nodded and sat opposite Mother Li. There was a hint of confusion in her eyes, but more of anticipation.
"I know you've suffered all these years." Mother Li held Wang Li's hand, her palm was warm and firm, "As a mother, I also have responsibilities. ”
Wang Li's tears swirled in her eyes, she bit her lip, and then said, "Mom, I... I don't know what to do. ”
"Let's figure it out together." Mother Li's voice was full of strength, "This family can't just be dispersed." ”
Wang Li looked at Mother Li, and an unprecedented courage surged in her heart, "Mom, I'm willing to try." ”
At this time, Xiaojie, who was at school, also felt the impact of the tense atmosphere at home. His grades began to slip, and his teachers and classmates noticed the change.
"Xiaojie, what's wrong with you lately? Is there something wrong with the family? Teacher Li, the head teacher, asked with concern.
Xiao Jie lowered his head, his hands clenched into fists, "Teacher, my family... It's a bit complicated. ”
Teacher Li sighed, she patted Xiaojie on the shoulder, "If you need help, remember to tell me." ”
Xiao Jie raised his head, a flash of gratitude flashed in his eyes, "Thank you, teacher, I will." ”
After school, Xiaojie walked alone on the road, his heart full of confusion and uneasiness. He knew that his family's problems had affected him and that he needed to find a solution.
When he got home, Xiaojie saw his grandmother and mother sitting together, both of them with tears on their faces, but at the same time there was a determined light. A warm current surged in Xiaojie's heart, and he knew that there was still hope for this family.
As time passed, the Li family's living room resounded with long-lost laughter. Li Qiang and Wang Li sat on the sofa, their hands clasped tightly, and their eyes showed relief after reconciliation.
"Wang Li, I know I've done a lot wrong before." Li Qiang's voice was a little hoarse, but full of sincerity, "I promise, I will treat you well in the future." ”
Wang Li's eyes flashed with tears, and she nodded, "Li Qiang, I believe in you." ”
Mother Li watched from the sidelines, and a relieved smile appeared on her face. She knew that this family was finally about to usher in a new beginning.
Xiaojie came back from school and saw the changes in his family, and his heart was full of surprise. He walked up to his parents and cautiously asked, "Dad, Mommy, you... Is it reconciled? ”
Li Qiang touched Xiaojie's head and said gently: "Yes, Xiaojie, we are reconciled." In the future, our family will get better and better. ”
A big smile appeared on Xiaojie's face, and he knew that his home was back.
Mother Li stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the outside world, her heart was full of hope. She knows that her role in the family has changed, and she is no longer the mother who can only bear in silence, but a force that can guide the family towards harmony.
"Mom, thank you." Li Qiang walked up to Mother Li and held her hand.
Mother Li turned her head and looked at her son, her eyes were full of love, "Li Qiang, we are a family and we should support each other." ”
Wang Li also walked over, she held Li's mother's other hand, "Mom, we will work together in the future to make this family better." ”
Xiaojie also joined them, and the hands of the four of them were tightly clasped, and their hearts were full of anticipation for the future.
