25-year-old Zou Xiaoxi and Zhao Xiaoyu were introduced to each other, and the two fell in love at first sight and soon fell in love. Zou Xiaoxi is gentle and virtuous, Zhao Xiaoyu is honest and honest, they seem to be a match made in heaven.
Although the conditions of the Zhao family are average, Zou Xiaoxi doesn't care, she believes that as long as there is love, it is enough. Two years ago, Zou Xiaoxi made a decision that surprised many people - she didn't want a bride price or a banquet, and just wanted to get married simply.
Her eyes flashed with happiness, her face was filled with a sweet smile, and she entered the palace of marriage with longing. Soon after marriage, Zou Xiaoxi became pregnant. When she learned the news, she was ecstatic, stroking her lower abdomen, which had not yet bulged, and dreaming of a happy and happy life in the future.
She is looking forward to a warm home, with a loving husband, a considerate mother-in-law, and a lovely baby. Zou Xiaoxi quit her job after becoming pregnant, looking forward to the care and love of her family.
However, reality hit her hard. Just one month after her marriage, her life was turned upside down. First of all, my father-in-law died of illness, and this accident disrupted the original rhythm of life.
Zou Xiaoxi not only lost a possible caregiver, but also had to face a sudden change in the family atmosphere. She tried to adjust her mentality, hoping to get the support of her mother-in-law. However, what Zou Xiaoxi didn't expect was that her mother-in-law soon had a new focus in life.
Granny Zhao has a boyfriend and goes out on a date every day after work, completely ignoring her pregnant daughter-in-law. Zou Xiaoxi often stayed at home alone, looking at the back of her mother-in-law leaving in a hurry, and her heart was full of disappointment and loneliness.
In desperation, Zou Xiaoxi returned to her parents' home, hoping to get help from her parents. But fate played a joke on her again, her father died of old illness, and her mother had to take care of her young nephew, so she had no time to take care of her.
Standing in front of his father's mourning hall, Zou Xiaoxi's tears were like rain, and his heart was like a knife. She felt lonely and helpless like never before, as if the whole world had abandoned her. With a heavy heart, Zou Xiaoxi had to return to her in-law's house.
Every day, she was alone with her bulging pregnant belly and struggled to take care of herself. Laundry, cooking, cleaning, all the housework fell on her alone.
In the dead of night, Zou Xiaoxi often cried alone, his eyes full of disappointment and confusion. During this period, Zou Xiaoxi's psychological state deteriorated. The warm family life she had hoped for was gone, replaced by endless loneliness and loss.
She began to question her decision and became suspicious of the marriage. However, for the sake of the child in her womb, she could only grit her teeth and persevere, facing the upcoming delivery alone.
Zou Xiaoxi finally gave birth to a son, thinking that he could get due care during the confinement period, but found that the predicament after marriage had not been improved. The mother-in-law still goes her own way, either going to work or dating, and seems to care for the newborn and maternity without any care.
In desperation, her husband Zhao Xiaoyu had to take care of Zou Xiaoxi, who was in confinement. However, Zhao Xiaoyu is a big man after all, he doesn't know anything about maternal care, and he has done many things unsatisfactorily.
As a result, there were frequent arguments between husband and wife, and after each quarrel, Zou Xiaoxi was depressed and his breast milk supply was reduced. Seeing that the child couldn't eat enough, Zou Xiaoxi was distressed and anxious.
In order to supplement nutrition and increase breast milk, she plucked up the courage to ask her mother-in-law to eat some pig's trotters. Who knew that this small request caused a storm. When the mother-in-law heard the word pig's trotters, her eyes immediately widened, and she said with a shocked face: "Do you know that pig's trotters cost 18 yuan a catty?" It's so expensive, why are you embarrassed to eat it?" These words were like a sharp knife, deeply piercing Zou Xiaoxi's heart.
Forcibly enduring the grievances in his heart, Zou Xiaoxi silently took out 200 yuan to his mother-in-law, hoping to buy some pig's trotters to supplement nutrition. However, after the mother-in-law took the money, she only bought less than a pound of pig's trotters and came back.
Looking at the few pig's trotters in the bowl, Zou Xiaoxi had mixed feelings in his heart, both disappointed and helpless. In the evening, Zou Xiaoxi couldn't help but complain to her husband Zhao Xiaoyu, hoping to get some understanding and support.
However, Zhao Xiaoyu's reaction made her completely chilled. I only heard Zhao Xiaoyu say impatiently: "Can't you be generous?" Every little thing has to be taken care of. What to eat pig's trotters, pickles are also very replenishing. "
At this moment, Zou Xiaoxi felt like a knife in his heart, and tears swirled in his eyes. For the first time, she really felt the indifference of the family, and for the first time, she had deep doubts about her marriage.
The loving couple that I thought was now so strange at the moment. The days of confinement were simply torturous for Zou Xiaoxi. Not only did she not receive the care she deserved, but she had to endure the indifference and incomprehension of her family.
This experience was deeply engraved in Zou Xiaoxi's heart and became the fuse for her to make major decisions in the future. The painful experience of confinement left Zou Xiaoxi disheartened, and she felt that she did not have the slightest respect and love in this family.
When her son was 3 months old, she made the difficult decision to run away from home. The decision was painful for her, but she felt that she could no longer endure such a life.
In the year since he left, although Zou Xiaoxi missed his son with heartache, every time he tried to go back to see his children, he was turned away by his mother-in-law. Granny Zhao didn't let her see the child, and she didn't even answer the video.
Zou Xiaoxi's heart is full of contradictions and pain, he wants to accompany the child to grow up, but he can't stand the indifferent family. A year later, Zhao Xiaoyu found the TV station for help with the child in his arms.
The child was so hungry that he cried, Zhao Xiaoyu skillfully took out the bottle and milk powder from the bag, and made milk powder for the child to drink. He aggrievedly told everyone that his wife had been away for a year and ignored her husband and children.
He hoped that the mediator could persuade Zou Xiaoxi to go home as soon as possible and assume his due responsibilities and obligations. With the efforts of all parties, Zou Xiaoxi, who was doing sales in a machinery company, was finally found.
When Zou Xiaoxi saw her son, her reaction made everyone see her deep maternal love for her child. She immediately changed her face, and took the child with tears of joy, kissing and hugging, her eyes full of longing and love.
However, when facing her husband, Zou Xiaoxi's face showed unconcealed disgust. This year's separation seems to have made her completely lose hope in this marriage. Zou Xiaoxi said frankly that she missed her children very much this year, she couldn't eat or sleep, and she was haggard.
However, she also said that it was not only because of the conflict between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but also because of the relationship between her husband and wife with Zhao Xiaoyu. This reunion made everyone see the complexity of this family problem.
Zou Xiaoxi's love for her children is undoubted, but her attitude towards this marriage has changed fundamentally. Under the mediation of the mediator, Zou Xiaoxi, Zhao Xiaoyu and Granny Zhao sat together for negotiation.
The atmosphere was solemn, and everyone's faces were full of mixed emotions. Granny Zhao was the first to break the silence, she burst into tears, and apologized again and again: "Xiaoxi, I didn't do well before, and I will slowly change it in the future."
You see that the child is still so young, don't get a divorce, okay?" Her voice was full of pleading and remorse. Zhao Xiaoyu also promised in a low voice: "I know that I didn't do it right before, and I will work hard to make more money in the future, so that you and your children can live a good life."
His eyes sparkled with hope, hoping that his wife would change her mind. However, Zou Xiaoxi's heart was already cold. She said calmly: "It's not just the conflict between my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but also the relationship between me and Zhao Xiaoyu."
Let's get a divorce. Her tone was firm, and her eyes were full of determination. When Zhao Xiaoyu heard this, his face changed suddenly, and his anger surged: "Then divorce!" But the child must be raised by our family, and you have to pay 800 yuan per month for child support. "
His attitude suddenly hardened. Zou Xiaoxi helplessly explained his salary: "I only have a little more than 2,000 wages a month, and I need money for food and housing, and I really can't get 800 a month, so I can only give 600 yuan."
There was a hint of bitterness in her voice. Zhao Xiaoyu did not relent: "You must give 800 yuan, and you can't lose a penny." His attitude embarrassed even the mediators. After more than an hour of patient persuasion by the mediator, Zhao Xiaoyu finally relented and agreed to accept 600 yuan in child support.
The parties signed a divorce agreement, and this once promising marriage came to an end. During the whole process, Zou Xiaoxi's eyes were full of complex emotions, both relief and reluctance, and more disappointment and helplessness in this marriage.
Zhao Xiaoyu and Granny Zhao, on the other hand, looked extremely depressed after the agreement was signed, as if they only realized what they had lost at this time. The mediator watched this scene and couldn't help but lament the fragility of the marriage.
A small pig's trotter turned out to be the last straw that crushed this marriage. The moment the agreement was signed, the once loving husband and wife officially parted ways. Zou Xiaoxi looked at his autograph and had mixed feelings in his heart.
She knew that from now on, she would start her life again as a single mother. Although the custody of the child belongs to the Zhao family, she promises to do her best to give the child care and financial support.
The moment he walked out of the mediation room, Zou Xiaoxi took a deep breath, as if he had unloaded his long-standing burden. Her eyes glistened with tears, but with hope for the future.
This marriage has brought her a painful experience, but it has also made her stronger. Zhao Xiaoyu was holding the child with a complicated expression. He may finally realize how his and his mother's actions have hurt the family.
The child is not in good health because he is not accompanied by his mother. Granny Zhao once took the child for a check-up, and it showed that all indicators of development were low, and she couldn't speak when she was almost two years old.
This fact made the Zhao family feel deep self-blame and worry. For Zou Xiaoxi, the decision, although painful, was necessary. She knows there's still a long way to go, but she's ready for a new life.
She will continue to work hard and fulfill her responsibilities to her children, while also giving herself a chance to start over. This family story may serve as a warning to many people: marriage requires not only love, but also mutual understanding, respect and consideration.
A small pig's trotter reflects the problem of the whole family relationship. I hope that through this case, more people can cherish their families and manage their marriages with heart.
