This incident happened a year ago, and the cause was a conflict over the matter of picking up and dropping off his granddaughter, which caused the father-in-law and the two daughters-in-law to fall into complaints and dissatisfaction. This contradiction led to a great change in my father-in-law's life, and he died in less than a year.
The background of the story is in 2021, and the father-in-law's name is Wang Tou, who is sixty-eight years old. His eldest granddaughter was admitted to the county's key high school in 2019, and because she is very good at studying, she has attracted the attention of many families with cars in the village. These parents hope that their children will be able to establish a good relationship with the eldest granddaughter of the Wang Tou family so that they can pick up and drop off together. They thought that since they had helped with the pick-up for a while, the king's son and daughter-in-law should be grateful, at least by giving some gifts.
However, the king's son and daughter-in-law did not make any indications. They have an attitude of taking it for granted, that it is a matter of course for others to pick up the king's granddaughter, and that they do not need special thanks. This has led to dissatisfaction among parents who have been picking up and dropping off their children for a long time.
In the second semester of 2020, the parents decided not to pick up Wang Tou's granddaughter anymore. It was at this time that something happened that made things even more complicated. I remember that in April 2020, after Wang Tou's eldest granddaughter got out of school on the weekend, she found that she was picked up by her parents in advance, and no one was waiting for her at all. She waited alone at the school gate for a long time, but no one came to pick her up. In the end, she could only call her grandfather Wang Tou ** and ask him to pick her up.
Wang Tou was also very anxious after receiving **, after all, his granddaughter was a girl, and it was at night, he tried to contact his son and daughter-in-law, but the daughter-in-law did not pick up **, and his son was in Xinjiang. At this time, Wang Tou had no choice but to order his second son to pick up his granddaughter.
However, this order caused dissatisfaction among the second son's daughter-in-law. The reason is that they happen to be making somen at home, and these somen noodles need to be made in an hour or two, otherwise they will lose a lot. The second son and daughter-in-law felt very helpless about this order, and they thought that the thousands of dollars that they would take half a month to earn back would suffer a loss. However, they also understand that as the elders of the family, they have to pick up their granddaughter because it is related to their granddaughter's safety.
So, the second son drove to pick up his granddaughter, but this caused the daughter-in-law to be dissatisfied, and she began to quarrel with her father-in-law, while wiping her tears to make noodles. She felt that her father-in-law was nosy, and her father-in-law felt that he had been wronged. This contradiction made the two daughters-in-law indifferent to their father-in-law, and the father-in-law's mood became depressed.
The daughters-in-law of the father-in-law did not realize that their actions had caused harm to the father-in-law, and they only cared about their own feelings and ignored the feelings of the father-in-law. The father-in-law's wife did not play any role in reconciling this conflict, and seemed to be indifferent to the father-in-law's feelings.
During the Spring Festival in 2021, my father-in-law was alone in the room, and his wife was called to dinner by his eldest daughter-in-law, but his father-in-law was ignored. At this time, the second daughter-in-law came back from outside and saw that her father-in-law had not arrived at the dinner table, so she asked her father-in-law to eat together. But the eldest daughter-in-law turned around and left, not sitting with her father-in-law at all. My father-in-law felt very uncomfortable, and his heart was full of grievances and anger.
Then, at the beginning of 2021, my father-in-law fell ill and was sent to the hospital for examination, and it was found that it was advanced lymphoma, but it had not metastasized. When the eldest son learned about it, he immediately prepared money for his father-in-law to see a doctor, but the eldest daughter-in-law stopped him, saying that he was not allowed to take money for medical treatment. This sparked the anger of the eldest son, who insisted on taking money to pay for his father-in-law's medical treatment. The eldest daughter-in-law threatened to divorce if she took money for treatment. The eldest son is determined to divorce. The eldest daughter-in-law saw that she couldn't stop it, so she had to stop it, and her father-in-law had surgery, but her father-in-law was in a very bad mood, and he persevered for half a year before passing away in Layue in 2021.
According to the description of the story, the death of the father-in-law is closely related to the conflict between the two daughters-in-law. At first, the source of the conflict was the pick-up and drop-off of the granddaughter, and the two daughters-in-law lacked awareness of the expectations and gratitude of other parents, and the father-in-law was helpless about it. Subsequently, this contradiction gradually escalated, and the attitude of the daughters-in-law towards their father-in-law became cold and unfriendly, and the father-in-law's inner pain and grievances also deepened.
The father-in-law's wife did not play her due role in this conflict, and she did not care enough about her father-in-law's feelings, which further deepened the loneliness and pain of her father-in-law.
Therefore, it can be said that if the matter of picking up the granddaughter does not happen, the father-in-law may be able to enjoy some more happy time. However, due to the contradictions and conflicts between the two sides, the mental health of the father-in-law gradually deteriorated, which eventually led to his death.
This story reminds us that there should be more understanding and love between relatives in the family, and more communication and tolerance. Don't exacerbate the conflict because of some trivial things or misunderstandings, so that it hurts the family relationship. Always remember that family is our warmest harbor, and love between loved ones should be selfless.
