After her father-in-law passed away, her mother bravely shared the old love she had with her father-in-law
My father-in-law was diagnosed with liver cancer before his death, and on the day he passed away, an experience occurred in the hospital that I will never forget.
It was a hot summer day, and my father-in-law's condition suddenly deteriorated, and my husband and I waited in the hospital for fear of an accident.
I vividly remember that afternoon, my father-in-law woke up from a sleep, and his tired body was refreshed. He told us that he wanted to eat ice cream.
We all feel that eating ice cream may not be good for our health, so we have to consult our doctor if we are worried. The doctor said that the old man should buy it for him if he wants to eat, and at the same time reminded us to be mentally prepared, because the sign that the patient wants to eat ice may be that the body is about to run out.
The doctor's words made our hearts heavy, and my husband's eyes instantly reddened.
I comforted my husband and asked him to stay in the ward to take care of my father-in-law while I went to buy ice cream.
I bought an old-fashioned popsicle for my father-in-law, and he ate it with relish, as if he had returned to his childhood.
However, what is strange is that the father-in-law suddenly cried while eating, and his mouth made a whining sound.
My husband and I were taken aback and couldn't wait to ask what had happened to my father-in-law. My father-in-law wiped away his tears, looked out the window, and sighed full of vicissitudes: "This old popsicle reminds me of too many past events, life is in a hurry, and it is unbearable to look back!."”
My husband and I looked at each other speechlessly, and my father-in-law's emotion made the atmosphere even heavier. At this moment, my father-in-law suddenly turned his head to stare at me and asked, "Xiaoling, can you call ** and let your mother come to the hospital?"”
I was puzzled for a while, thinking that my father-in-law was talking about my mother-in-law, and replied that my mother was cooking soup at home, and she would come over when it was ready. However, my father-in-law shook his head and emphasized that he wanted me to hit my real mother.
I was surprised and asked, "My mother?"."Why did my father-in-law suddenly want to see my mother?My husband saw that I was hesitant and urged me to hurry up and hit **.
I pulled out my phone and dialed my mom's number. On the other end, my mother heard that her father-in-law wanted to see her, and after a moment of silence, she said, "I'll take a taxi later." ”
When I hung up, I felt that my mother's reaction was a little strange, but I couldn't put it into words.
My dad died young, and my mom raised me alone, and in recent years she has been hoping that she can find a partner, but she always refuses, saying that she is used to living alone.
In the ward, my father-in-law continued to express his feelings about life. My husband and I stood quietly on the sidelines, always wondering why my father-in-law wanted to see my mother and what he wanted to tell her
My husband was so tired that he had been guarding him all night for many days, and suddenly he took a nap. I decided to buy ice cream and give my father-in-law a small wish.
When I returned to the ward, I saw the news of my father-in-law's death, and in a hurry, I missed the last communication with him.
Back home, my mom was already waiting, and her tears couldn't be stopped. I'm so anxious, why is my mother so sad?
My mother-in-law brought out a locked tin box with some things in it and asked me to pass it on to my mother. She told me to spend a few days with my mother and told her that life is short and that we should mourn.
So, I will share with you this story that happened in the days of my father-in-law's death. It's an incomprehensible time, and we seem to be caught up in a mystery with puzzling details.
My father-in-law's last wish was to eat a popsicle, which seemed to bring back memories of his life. However, while eating a popsicle, he suddenly burst into tears, expressing his longing for the past and his helplessness for life. His dying request to see my mother made the whole affair even more confusing.
When my mother learned of my father-in-law's request in the hospital, she was extremely excited and sad. In front of her mother-in-law, she chose to remain silent, as if there was something deep and unspeakable.
The emotions of the whole family became confusing when the father-in-law was dying. At his last moment, my mother-in-law didn't see him, but my mother cried to death. My mother-in-law's consolation to my mother also made me wonder, as if all this was hiding an untold story.
At my father-in-law's funeral, my mother's performance caused a lot of discussion among the guests, and everyone wondered why my mother-in-law was so sad. And the mother-in-law is busy behind the scenes, trying to calm it down. However, my mother-in-law's hesitation when faced with my father-in-law's body made me wonder about her love life.
At my mother-in-law's arrangement, after my father-in-law's funeral, she handed me a locked iron box containing some of my mother's things. My mother-in-law told me to go back to accompany my mother, comfort her, and tell her that life is no longer possible.
In the iron box, there may be some secrets between my mother and my father-in-law, and my father-in-law's actions before his death seem to point in this direction. My mother-in-law's performance also made me curious about her love life and inner condition, her strength and calmness when her father-in-law was dying, and the grief and comfort she showed when facing her mother, made the relationship between the whole family complicated.
The death of my father-in-law not only deprived us of a pillar of the family, but also made the family relationship even more confusing. I will continue to explore the truth of this mystery and try my best to unravel the story hidden behind the tin box. Perhaps, only when all the clues are revealed, can we understand this bizarre and confusing family legend.
I took the iron box that my mother-in-law handed me in a daze, and the locked box I was familiar with belonged to my father-in-law. In the past, my husband and I used to see my father-in-law in the study clutching this iron box in a daze, because it was locked, and we didn't know anything about what was inside.
When my mother-in-law suddenly mentioned that the box was related to my mother, I was very surprised and my heart was full of doubts. Staring at my mother-in-law with doubt, I asked, "Why is my mother's stuff here?".Moreover, she and her father-in-law have only met a few times, and her father-in-law is gone, how can she cry so sadly?What the hell is going on?Are you hiding something from me?”
The mother-in-law sighed lightly and replied, "If you want to know the reason, you should go back and ask your mother, she knows better than me." ”
My mother-in-law's answer made me more suspicious, but she didn't seem to be going to reveal more. With an iron box and countless questions, I left my mother-in-law's house and returned to my hometown.
The moment I saw my mother, her eyes were red, and she had obviously experienced another cry. I felt a little angry and asked her, "How many days have passed, why are you still crying?"I really don't understand, my father-in-law is gone, my mother-in-law doesn't have a single tear, but you, your mother-in-law, are crying every day!Tell me honestly, have you and my father-in-law known each other for a long time?Do you have a secret hidden between you?”
My mother listened to my questioning, looked around, and replied, "I don't have any secrets with him, I just see him, I can't help but think of your father, that's why I cry so sadly." ”
I wasn't happy with my mother's explanation, so I put the tin box in front of her and said, "And what is this?"My mother-in-law said that this box is full of your things, and I will pass it on to you. ”
When my mom saw the box, her eyes widened, and she clearly recognized the iron box. I handed the key to my mom and said, "Open it and see, I'm curious about what it is." ”
My mother opened the iron box with trembling hands, and it was full of letters, densely packed with a large stack, each with my mother's name written on it. I was stunned, how many secrets are hidden in these letters?
When my mother saw the yellowed letters, she burst into tears. She didn't have the courage to open them one by one, so she just picked one up and asked me to read it to her.
I opened a letter and was about to read it, but I found that the beginning was so numb that I was embarrassed.
My mom looked at my hesitant expression and asked, "What's wrong?".Read. I smiled awkwardly, swallowed my saliva, and began to read, "Dear ......."Dear Fang, are you a**?Why don't you take my letter?All the letters I wrote to you have been returned, I can't find you, I can't contact you, what are you at**?I miss you, I miss you, can you hear my heart?We swore under that jujube tree that we would ...... together forever”
I really couldn't read it anymore, and I instantly understood, stared at my mother and asked, "This is my father-in-law's handwritten letter, he writes so affectionately, could it be that you used to be ......."”
My mom nodded with tears in her eyes and admitted, "Yes, we used to love each other, but then, for some reason, we separated. ”
I was curious and asked, "What is the reason?".Is it because my dad snatched you away?”
My mother shook her head, carefully put the letters into the box, then hugged the iron box and told me the story of her and my father-in-law.
Time goes back to 40 years ago, when my mother was only 18 years old and my father-in-law was 19 years old, and the two young people fell in love with each other unknowingly, and made a private decision under a jujube tree for life.
After my grandfather found out about this, he forced my mother to break up with my father-in-law, because my father-in-law was an orphan who grew up eating hundreds of family meals, and he was poor and white, so my grandfather naturally refused to marry his daughter to such a poor boy.
My father-in-law was worried about this, at that time the township was conscripted, and it was every man's dream to be a soldier, and my father-in-law was no exception.
My father-in-law's mind turned, if he went to become a soldier, maybe he would be able to change his conditions, and then he would be able to marry my mother in style.
When my father-in-law told my mother about this idea, my mother was very supportive of him, thinking that when he came back from the army, my grandparents would not look down on him.
So, my father-in-law went to register, and he was lucky enough to be recruited.
When my father-in-law left, my mother went to see him off, and the two were reluctant to write a letter to each other, and my father-in-law also told my mother to wait for him to come back.
Who would have thought that not long after my father-in-law left, my grandfather couldn't wait to tell my mother about a family matter.
My mother didn't marry, my grandfather beat my mother, and my grandmother forced my mother with a rope, and if my mother didn't marry, she would hang herself immediately.
My mother is a filial and soft-hearted child, and in the face of the persecution of her parents, she finally couldn't resist and give in.
Less than a year after my father-in-law joined the army, my mother got married, and she married far away, and the other party was a carpenter, and this carpenter was my father.
Since then, my mother and my father-in-law have cut off contact, and she knows that her father-in-law has come to see her later, but she has never shown her face because she has betrayed her oath and has no face to see him.
She thought that she would never see her father-in-law again in this life, but she didn't expect that she would become in-laws with her father-in-law.
After my mother finished talking about this, it was already dark, I took her into my arms, and I couldn't help but sigh, this world is really small, this fate is simply wonderful. No wonder my husband and I were talking about marriage, and when our parents met, my father-in-law and my mother were directly stunned on the spot, it turned out that they had known each other for a long time.
It's just that at that time, they didn't say anything, didn't show any flaws, and kept us in the dark.
Since my husband and I got married, my mother rarely interacted with my parents-in-law, and sometimes asked her to eat together, but she also found various reasons to refuse, and I still wondered why my mother was so polite. Now that the truth is revealed, my mother is not polite, but deliberately avoids my father-in-law, which is really well disguised.
The former lovers have become their own in-laws, and over the years, their hearts must have been tormented, and they have endured too much!
If the old relationship between my father-in-law and my mother is love, then what is the relationship between my mother-in-law and my father-in-law?
In my impression, my father-in-law and mother-in-law have always been in love with each other, and they rarely blushed with each other.
When I returned to my mother-in-law's house, I dared to ask my mother-in-law: "Mom, Dad is gone, why don't you have a tear?"Don't you love him?”
The mother-in-law smiled faintly, stared at her father-in-law's favorite pot of Chunlan and said, I love him, but he has always hidden a woman in his heart, you should know the answer now, this woman is your mother.
I was very sad when I heard this, and asked, "When did you find out about them?"”
My mother-in-law locked her gaze on my face and said softly, "It's been a long, long time, but I didn't know what your mother looked like before, and it wasn't until you were going to marry my son that I knew that she was that woman." ”
I frowned and asked my mother-in-law, since you know, why do you still agree to me being your daughter-in-law?Your rival has become your in-laws, aren't you uncomfortable?
The mother-in-law smiled calmly and said, I stopped the marriage between you and my son, what can I change?I don't want to be a villain. Why should the grievances of the previous generation be involved in the next generation?Not before, not in the future, no matter what past there is between your mother and your father-in-law, it has nothing to do with you, you will always be my good daughter-in-law, and I will not target you everywhere because of this matter. So, you don't have to worry about it, just like before, let's just assume that nothing happened.
