"Li Mingxiang, let me tell you, the only daughter-in-law I recognize in this life is Zhao Xiuhong, no matter how you make trouble, it's useless!"
The mother in front of me was very resolute, and this time she was determined to let me break up with Li Xuemei in the village and marry my stepfather's daughter Zhao Xiuhong instead.
My name is Li Mingxiang, I am 28 years old, and I have an older sister, but my sister has already started a family, and I have always been unmarried, mainly because my mother does not agree to my marriage.
Because I fell in love with the widow in the same village, her name is Li Xuemei, she is four years older than me, not only very beautiful, but also very gentle.
My acquaintance with her was also very fateful, when she was washing clothes by the river, and I happened to be passing by the river, and her laundry mallet was washed away by the river.
Her heart was very anxious, so she jumped directly into the river to get the mallet, but she didn't expect the mallet to be swept farther and farther away by the river, and she slipped and fell into the river because she was too anxious to chase it.
Li Xuemei "fluttered" in the river, shouting for help, when I saw a girl falling into the water, I quickly jumped into the river to save her, and so the two of us got married.
In order to thank me for saving my life, they warmly invited me to their house, although I was not familiar with Li Xuemei at that time, but I also heard that she was a widow in the village.
She married into our village at the age of 22, which can be said to be very early, but in the third year of her marriage, her husband died in an accident.
Many people in the village rumored that she was "Kefu", because at that time she wanted to learn how to drink milk from the city, and her ex-husband went to the county seat to buy a goat in order to satisfy her wish.
But on the way back, the goat was frightened and fled, and her husband fell to his death halfway up the mountain in pursuit of the goat.
So the people in the village began to blame that her husband was Li Xuemeike's death, if she didn't want to drink milk, her husband would not have been thrown to death, in the final analysis, it was all Li Xuemei's responsibility.
In this way, no matter where Li Xuemei goes, there are people talking about her behind her back, and even some upright village women will scold her, saying to her: "What do people in the village learn from city people, they deserve to die their husbands!" ”
This also makes Li Xuemei often hide at home and dare not go out, Li Xuemei does not have a mother-in-law, there is only one husband on it, but her husband is in very bad health, and he is also sick in bed all the year round.
Before, the income and expenses of the whole family were borne by her husband, but now that her husband has passed away, Li Xuemei has also been talked about a lot by the villagers, so there is no source of income.
It can be said that her life is very difficult, so she jumped into the river to get a mallet desperately, which is why I saved her, so the two of us got married.
I remember when I rescued her in the river, it was the first time I touched a woman, her hands hooked my neck, and her eyes were very clear, which also touched my heart.
When I rescued her, I hurriedly thanked her, thinking that the fate of the two would end here, but I didn't expect her to invite me to her house for dinner at noon.
I originally wanted to refuse, after all, saving people in the river is not a big deal, because everyone in the village will swim in the river in the summer, and if anyone encounters drowning, everyone will go to save people.
But it couldn't stop her enthusiasm, and in the end she could only follow her home to eat, although the meals she prepared were also very simple, but the taste was very delicious.
I couldn't help but eat a few more bowls, and the way I ate also caused her to laugh out loud, saying that the way I ate was so cute, which also made my ears red and my cheeks feel hot.
Although I was only 26 years old at the time, I did not have much contact with the girl, and now I am facing this widow not only with a very gentle personality, but also with very good craftsmanship.
It also made me feel a lot of affection for her, and if I hadn't met her, I would probably have agreed to the marriage arranged for me by my mother, who had always been very fond of my stepfather's daughter.
When my mother was 24 years old, she took my sister and brother to remarry, because my biological father was an alcoholic and would beat her every time he drank too much.
Once, when my mother couldn't stand it, she wanted to choose to run away, but looking at our sister and brother, I was still reluctant in my heart, and in the end I could only choose to endure it silently.
But once my biological father drank too much, so he fell asleep directly on the ground, because it was the cold winter wax moon, so he was frozen to death.
At that time, when the biological father died, the mother did not shed a single tear, and there was even a feeling of liberation, and the father was less than three years old, and the mother directly remarried.
Many people blamed her mother's behavior, but she didn't care at all, and she found her stepfather to be a carpenter, and she had a lot of food and clothing with this craft.
The stepfather is an honest man and has a very honest personality, because his wife's health is not good, so he only gave birth to a daughter, and this daughter is Zhao Xiuhong.
Not long after giving birth to his daughter, his wife died, and in order to take better care of his daughter, he never considered his remarriage.
Until his daughter grew up, he felt that it was not convenient for him to take care of her as a big man, so he planned to find another one, and after the introduction of the matchmaker, he met my mother.
My stepfather was very popular in the village in terms of personality and craftsmanship, but he only took a fancy to my mother, because he knew that she was kind to her children, kind and upright.
So after marrying, he will also treat his daughter equally, so the two of them formed a family again, and their lives are very happy.
My stepfather never scolded my mother, and I handed over all the money I earned to my mother to take care of, and she also regarded Zhao Xiuhong as her own, and even planned to let me marry her.
Although Zhao Xiuhong is not as good-looking as Li Xuemei, she has a very lively temperament, and she always treats my brother and brother like a sticky kitten.
Although she lost her mother when she was a child, she grew up in her father's love, and even if her father remarried, the atmosphere of the whole family was very good.
So her mind is very simple, because her mother has had the experience and is afraid that she will be wronged when she marries, so she decided to let me marry her, so that not only does she save the bride price, but also does not have to worry about Xiuhong being wronged.
My stepfather also supported my mother's decision, and I didn't think it mattered at first, but it wasn't until I met Li Xuemei that I was very resistant to my mother's arrangement.
Because I think Li Xuemei is more feminine than Zhao Xiuhong, not only can I become unrelenting, but even my cooking skills are very good.
Since then, after going to her house for dinner, I have pretended to meet her intentionally or unintentionally, and the relationship between the two of us has slowly warmed up.
Sometimes, we would go on a date in the haystack in the middle of the night, and I would hold her in my arms and talk, and she would kiss me on the cheek with her mouth, which made me like her even more.
But this time Li Xuemei asked me to come to the door to propose, if I don't agree, let me stop interacting with her, otherwise she won't even have a name.
Hearing her request, I also agreed, after all, I have been with Li Xuemei for a year, and I should also give Li Xuemei a name.
So when I got home, I told my mother about getting married, and my mother was very happy at first, but when she heard that the marriage partner was Li Xuemei, her face immediately changed.
even said to me angrily: "Li Mingxiang, let me tell you, the only daughter-in-law I recognize in this life is Zhao Xiuhong, no matter how you make trouble, it's useless!" ”
She also asked me to break off with Li Xuemei as soon as possible, and then marry my stepfather's daughter Zhao Xiuhong, otherwise she wouldn't recognize me as a son, no matter how much I made trouble, it was useless.
I also know my mother's personality very well, and the things she believes in are "set in stone", no matter what you say or do, it is useless.
Seeing my mother's opposition, I also knew that there was no way to marry Li Xuemei, but I still wanted to fight for my love, so I thought about eloping with Li Xuemei.
When I told her about this idea, I didn't expect to exchange it for a cold attitude, and she told me firmly that if I couldn't marry her, then let me leave quickly.
In this way, I had a quarrel with Li Xuemei, and when I wanted to get back together with her, she turned me away, and even when we met, she didn't know me.
Seeing Li Xuemei's cold attitude, my heart was also hit a lot, and I even felt that she only valued her reputation and didn't care about the relationship between the two people at all.
In order to be angry with her, I agreed to my mother's request and married my stepfather's daughter Zhao Xiuhong, and with the blessing of relatives and friends, the two of us held a wedding.
After marriage, Zhao Xiuhong and I also respected each other, I don't like it very much, but I don't hate it that much, after all, I have been with her for many years.
Her mind is very simple, and she is also very good to me and my family, because I also know what my mother has experienced, so I simply married her to protect her innocence.
For Li Xuemei, I feel a little disappointed in my heart, if she was willing to elope with me, after the two of us gave birth to a child, I could get my mother's forgiveness.
But her heart is very reluctant, she wants to find a good family, and then live a stable life, so that she can have no worries about food and clothing.
Now that Zhao Xiuhong and I are married, there is no need to entangle with Li Xuemei anymore, but since that quarrel, she has not come to me again.
Although we lived in a village, we rarely met, and when we were with Li Xuemei, we didn't know many people around.
So even if we separate, there won't be too many people who care, but after I got married, the people who went to Li Xuemei's house to talk about matchmaking changed a lot.
However, the conditions introduced are very ordinary, Li Xuemei can't see it, and some of them are still disabled, which also makes her even more annoyed.
After I married Zhao Xiuhong, my stepfather passed on the carpenter's craft to me, which was also very popular in the village.
Splicing this craft, my living conditions are also very good, although I can't live a rich and expensive life, at least I can ensure that I don't have to worry about food and clothing.
When I was making money, I would often give Zhao Hongxiu money to spend, let her buy a few new clothes and snacks to eat, and never make a big noise about her, which also made many people in the village envy her.
In the end, I gave birth to a son with Zhao Xiuhong, and the son also looks very similar to me, so it can be said that the life of a family of five is simple and happy.
But every time I think of Li Xuemei late at night, my heart is also full of regrets, I feel that I failed her back then and didn't give her a name, so she chose to leave me.
In this way, I lived with Zhao Xiuhong for more than ten years, and my mother's health was not as good as day by day, until one morning, my mother called me to the room.
She mentioned to me about Li Xuemei back then, and I was also very surprised in my heart, I don't know why so many years have passed, why my mother still mentions her.
My mother said that she didn't let me marry Li Xuemei back then, and she should have left a lot of regrets in her heart, but she didn't love me as much as she imagined, but she just took a fancy to my conditions.
Because her stepfather was a carpenter, and the living conditions of our family in the whole village were better, she created that chance encounter in order to find the next "job".
After the quarrel between my mother and me, she talked to Li Xuemei and promised her that she could be with me, but she would not hold a banquet or give me a bride price.
This also made Li Xuemei's face change suddenly, and even scolded her mother for not being authentic, and told her that I was going to elope with her, so that my mother would not be able to get off the stage in the village in the future.
But she didn't expect her mother to be very calm, and she didn't care about the discussions in the village, and in the end, there was no way, Li Xuemei could only find another home.
Hearing my mother tell the truth, I realized that my mother's intentions were good, it turned out that my mother loved me very much, and she wanted to agree to the marriage of the two of us, but I didn't expect that this was all Li Xuemei's conspiracy.
But fortunately, I listened to my mother's words to reap such a happy life, not only with a sensible daughter-in-law, but also with a lovely son.
Now I am also a father, and I have a more comprehensive view of some things, and sometimes we may not be able to understand what our parents do for a short time, but after a few years, we find out that it is the wisdom of our parents!
