Li Ming and Wang Lili stood in the living room of their new home, looking at the lights of thousands of homes outside the window, and their hearts were full of longing for their future life. Wang Lili took Li Ming's hand and whispered, "Ming, we finally have our own home." Li Ming responded with a smile: "Yes, Lily, this is not only our home, but also our common starting point." ”
A hint of tenderness flashed in Wang Lili's eyes, and she proposed: "Ming, I want to pick up my parents to live with us, they are also old, we can take care of them." Li Ming did not hesitate, and immediately nodded: "Of course you can, this is what we should do." ”
The next day, Wang Lili's parents moved in. The old couple was full of praise for the new home, and Wang Lili's father, Uncle Wang, touched the newly painted wall and said with emotion: "This house is really good, you little couple are really discerning." Wang Lili's mother, Aunt Li, was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, and said while chopping vegetables: "Lili, the family meals will be handed over to me in the future, and you can work with peace of mind." ”
Li Ming looked at his busy parents-in-law, and a warm current surged in his heart. He walked to the kitchen and said to Aunt Li, "Mom, don't be busy, I'll help." Aunt Li smiled and waved her hand: "No, no, you go and rest, I am here." ”
In the evening, the family sat around the dining table and enjoyed an intimate dinner. Uncle Wang suddenly mentioned: "By the way, Li Ming, do your parents know about our move?" Li Ming was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I haven't had time to tell them yet." Wang Lili added: "We plan to invite them over for dinner over the weekend and tell them the good news by the way." ”
The weekend came quickly, and Li Ming's parents arrived as promised. As soon as he entered the door, Li Ming's father, Li Bo, noticed Uncle Wang and Aunt Li, he frowned and asked, "In-laws, why are you also here?" Wang Lili hurriedly explained: "Dad, we want to take our parents over to live together, so that it is convenient to take care of them." Li Bo's face was a little unhappy, he pulled Li Ming to the side, and whispered, "Li Ming, are you going to be a son-in-law?" ”
Li Ming didn't know how to answer for a while, Wang Lili saw this, walked over and held Li Ming's hand, and said firmly: "Dad, we are all a family, regardless of each other." Aunt Li also came over to play a round: "Yes, in-laws, we are all for the good of the children." Li Bo's face softened a little, but obviously there were still some pimples in his heart.
After Li Ming's parents left, the atmosphere in the home became a little delicate. Li Ming sat on the sofa, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something. Wang Lili sensed her husband's uneasiness and asked softly, "Ming, what's wrong with you?" Did your parents' words make you uncomfortable? ”
Li Ming sighed and replied, "Lily, my parents think that I should leave the family property to my younger brother, and they think it's a bit ...... for me to do this" He didn't continue, but Wang Lili already understood what he meant.
The next day, Li Ming's parents came to the door again, this time with a more resolute attitude. As soon as Li Bo entered the door, he said bluntly: "Li Ming, we thought about it all night yesterday, and it was not right for you to do this. Your brother is still young, and he needs this property. ”
Wang Lili's parents were also present, and Uncle Wang tried to ease the atmosphere, saying: "In-laws, the children have their own plans, and we should respect them. ”
Li Bo didn't buy it, he insisted: "Respect? So who will respect us? Haven't we worked hard all our lives just for the sake of our children? ”
Aunt Li also joined the discussion: "Yes, Li Ming, how can we rest assured that you are doing this?" ”
Li Ming stood up, his eyes were firm, and his tone was calm but powerful: "Dad, Mom, I know what you are worried about. But Lily is my wife, and her parents are also my parents. It is our responsibility to take care of them. As for the family property, I believe that my younger brother has the ability to create his own future. ”
Wang Lili held Li Ming's hand tightly and expressed her support: "Parents, Ming is right. We can't ignore family affection because of family property. We are all a family and should support each other. ”
Li Ming's mother, Aunt Li, seemed to be moved, and her eyes softened: "Li Ming, have you really decided?" ”
Li Ming nodded: "Yes, Mom, I decided." ”
Li Bo wanted to say something, but was stopped by Uncle Wang: "In-laws, let the children decide for themselves." We are too old to always make decisions for them. ”
In the end, Li Ming's parents did not insist anymore, although they still had doubts in their hearts, but they gradually accepted this reality. Although the controversy in the family has subsided for the time being, everyone understands in their hearts that this is only the beginning and that there is still a long way to go.
On the day of the family gathering, the atmosphere at home seemed more tense than usual. Li Ming and Wang Lili prepared a table of sumptuous dishes, but everyone's mind seemed to be on the table.
Li Bo was the first to break the silence at the dinner table, he looked at Li Ming, and his tone was with a hint of reproach: "Li Ming, how did you think about what we talked about before?" ”
Li Ming put down his chopsticks, took a deep breath, and replied, "Dad, I've thought it through very clearly. Lily's decision and I won't change. ”
Wang Lili also put down the bowl in her hand, her eyes were firm: "Dad, Mom, we are very grateful for everything you have done for us, but we also have our own lives and responsibilities." ”
Li Ming's mother, Aunt Li, couldn't help but interject: "Li Ming, are you going to cut off relations with us?" ”
"No, Mom, that's not what we meant." Li Ming hurriedly explained, "I just hope you can understand our choice. ”
Seeing this, Uncle Wang tried to mediate the atmosphere: "In-laws, the children have grown up, and they have their own considerations. We, as elders, should support them. ”
Li Bo obviously still couldn't accept it, he stood up, and his voice raised a few points: "Support? How can I support? Do you want me to watch my family property flow into the hands of outsiders like this? ”
Wang Lili's mother, Aunt Li, also stood up, her voice trembling with a hint of trembling: "In-laws, we are all a family, there are no outsiders. Lily is our daughter and her choice is our choice. ”
Li Ming's younger brother Li Qiang also joined the discussion, he looked at Li Ming and said, "Brother, I know it's difficult for you to do, but your parents' words also make sense." After all, family property is the work of parents all their lives. ”
A trace of pain flashed in Li Ming's eyes, and he knew that this was a difficult choice. He stood up, looked around at his family, and said in a firm tone, "I know it's hard, but Lily and I have decided. We won't change our minds. ”
Wang Lili held Li Ming's hand tightly, and although her voice was weak, it was full of power: "We will create the future with our own hands and do not rely on family property." ”
The atmosphere at the dinner table became heavy, and everyone was thinking about their position. Li Ming and Wang Lili's choice undoubtedly brought an unprecedented test to the family, but their firmness and courage were also moving.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was tense to the extreme, Li Ming stood up, his voice clear and firm, breaking the silence: "Dad, Mom, I understand your concerns, but Lily and I have already discussed it. I am willing to give up the family property, but I insist on my right as a door-to-door son-in-law, and I will take care of my father-in-law and mother-in-law with Lily. ”
Li Bo's face sank, and his voice was full of anger: "Li Ming, you are challenging the family tradition!" What about your brother? ”
Li Ming's mother, Aunt Li, couldn't help but interject: "Son, have you really thought it through?" It's about your future. ”
Wang Lili stood up, her eyes were full of support for Li Ming: "Dad, Mom, Ming has already decided." We will work together to live a happy life without relying on family property. ”
Uncle Wang also stood up and spoke: "In-laws, children have their own ideas, and we should respect them. Although family property is important, the happiness of children is even more important. ”
Li Qiang, Li Ming's younger brother, he looked at his brother, then at his parents, and finally spoke: "Dad, Mom, I respect my brother's decision." I believe that I can also get what I want by my own efforts. ”
Li Ming glanced at his younger brother gratefully, and then turned to his parents: "Dad, Mom, I know that this decision may disappoint you, but I hope you can understand. Lily and I will do our part and work hard to create better conditions for the future. ”
A trace of tears flashed in Aunt Li's eyes, and her voice trembled: "Li Ming, you have really grown up." We're just worried about you and hope you can do well. ”
Li Bo was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "Well, since you have decided, we can only respect your choice. But you have to remember that no matter what happens, you are our son. ”
The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually eased, although everyone still had a little uncertainty and worry in their hearts, but Li Ming's firmness and Wang Lili's support, as well as the mutual understanding and respect between family members, made this family gathering have a warm and profound ending.
With Li Ming's firm statement, the tension at the dinner table began to slowly ease. After some inner struggle, Li Ming's parents finally accepted their son's decision. Li Bo took a deep breath and slowly spoke: "Li Ming, since you have already decided, we, as parents, should also respect your choice. ”
Aunt Li also showed a relieved smile: "Yes, son, we are just worried about you." Since you and Lily are so determined, we should also trust you to handle your own lives. ”
Wang Lili looked at Li Ming's parents with emotion, with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, parents, we will work hard." ”
Uncle Wang and Aunt Li also expressed their support: "We will also do our best to help you." ”
Li Ming's younger brother Li Qiang also stood up and held his brother's hand: "Brother, no matter what decision you make, I will support you." ”
Li Ming looked at his family gratefully, his heart full of warmth: "Thank you, I promise, I will do my best to make you proud of me." ”
At the dinner table, everyone began to talk again, and laughter and warm words gradually replaced the previous tension and controversy. Aunt Li proposed: "Okay, let's stop talking, let's eat quickly, the dishes are cold." ”
Wang Lili also answered with a smile: "Yes, we are chatting while eating, and there are still many future plans to discuss." ”
A consensus was reached between the family members, Li Ming and Wang Lili's choice was respected, and the family relationship was repaired. They know that while the road ahead may be challenging, nothing is impossible as long as the family is united.
