My ex-wife Li Xiao and I have been divorced for 5 years. Over the years, I have lived alone in a one-bedroom apartment in the old community, and my life is simple and ordinary. Until a month ago, our community sent a demolition notice, saying that it would be forced to be demolished in a month. I looked at the notice and my brain buzzed, and I fell into the despair and confusion of homelessness.
Just as I was about to go to bed, my phone rang suddenly. I picked it up sleepily, and a familiar voice came from the other end that surprised me a little: "Xiao Wang, it's my mother-in-law." I heard that your community is going to be demolished, and you don't have a place to live, do you?Why don't you move in and live with your mother-in-law for a while? ”
I was approached by my ex-wife's mother, my ex-mother-in-law, Li Ping, and I was really caught off guard. We have been divorced for many years and have basically no contact. I tried to be polite and replied, "Hello mother-in-law, thank you for caring about me. I'm going to look at renting a house. ”
If there is anything to find, just pack up your baggage and come to live at your mother-in-law's house. It's not convenient for you to live alone, just pack up the empty room for you to live in. The ex-mother-in-law's tone was full of concern and enthusiasm.
I was surprised and a little hesitant. After all, her daughter and I have been divorced for so many years, and the relationship has long been as light as water. I tentatively asked, "Then if I live like this, will it cause you trouble?"”
Hanging up**, I was deeply entangled. I know that my ex-mother-in-law has a straightforward and enthusiastic personality, but after all, Li Xiao and I have been divorced for so many years, and I don't know if it is appropriate to live in her house again.
Just when I was hesitating, my old neighbor Uncle Liu came over and asked me with a smile: "Xiao Wang, it was your ex-wife's family just now, right?"It's quite enthusiastic to listen to. ”
It's better to have a home to live in than to have no place to live!Uncle Liu interrupted me, "People like to be lively when they are old, so it's better for you to accompany your mother-in-law." It just so happens that your ex-wife hasn't come back to see you for a long time, and it saves your mother-in-law from worrying about living in the past. ”
Okay, okay, go and pack your things, your mother-in-law is still waiting for you!Uncle Liu waved his hand and left in a hurry.
I looked at my watch and it was almost 10 p.m. I decided to get some sleep first and think about it tomorrow when I calmed down.
Listening to her cheerful and affectionate tone, I couldn't bear to refuse an old man's kindness after all. So I agreed to stay for a few days in the afternoon. Hanging up**, I began to pack my luggage, still a little confused in my head.
When I arrived at my mother-in-law's house, she was already standing at the door to greet her. My 65-year-old mother-in-law, who was still in good health, helped me in with a smile on her face and enthusiastically introduced me to the tidy house. I was a little grateful and embarrassed, after all, I was just a nephew and son-in-law.
When I returned to my mother-in-law's house, she continued to entertain me as if nothing had happened, and I didn't care. It wasn't until a few days later that I suddenly received a ** from my ex-wife Li Xiao, who asked me in a bad tone why I wanted to go to my ex-mother-in-law's house to live.
I explained that my mother-in-law took the initiative to let me go, but Li Xiao was very angry: "I just leave for a few days, and you will go to my mother's house to send someone under the fence?"From now on, my mother-in-law will never want to take half a step!”
I was stunned by her sudden attitude: "Li Xiao, what do you mean by this?".There's nothing between me and your mother, and I'm forced to live in reluctance. ”
Come less!I know my mother's temperament too well, when I quarreled with you and ran away from home before, didn't she also take you to our house so 'enthusiastically'?Li Xiaoyu was sarcastic.
So you hurry up and move me out of my mother-in-law's!Otherwise, we're really not done!Li Xiao hung up. I was staring at my phone screen, my mind confused.
I have been with my mother-in-law for these days, and I do feel that she is sometimes overly enthusiastic in her words and deeds, which often embarrass me. Now that Li Xiao is making such a fuss, I am even more in a dilemma.
Before I finished speaking, my mother-in-law's face sank: "What nonsense is Li Xiao's girl talking about!."I'm doing this out of kindness, she's sticking to you, huh?”
I wanted to explain, but my mother-in-law shook her hand and walked out, muttering "girl without conscience". I was so helpless that I just closed the door and sulked in bed.
I tried to persuade them to stop arguing, but my mother-in-law snorted coldly and said, "If you want to go, hurry up, who rarely stays with you!".Li Xiao also sneered at each other, and the three of us were all pinched.
Emotional, I blurted out, "Forget it, I'll go to the hotel by myself!."With that, I went back to my room to pack up and leave.
I packed the box in a hurry, and my mother-in-law also changed her face when she saw this, and grabbed me and cried, "Are you going to abandon your mother-in-law?"Mother-in-law, this old bone is still counting on you to support you in your old age!”
I was also very sad to face my mother-in-law who was crying, but I decided to leave. As soon as I walked out of the community, I received Li Xiao's **. There was apology in her tone:
I had such a bad attitude just now that I hurt my mother-in-law. In fact, I also understand that my mother's personality is like this, she doesn't think much about the consequences when she does things, but she has always been very good to you in her heart. ”
I sighed: "Yes, just now my mother-in-law cried and asked me not to leave, I looked at her like that, I was really sad." ”
Then you go back, don't go!I also apologize to my mother-in-law, and the three of us have a good talk. Li Xiao's tone was firm.
So I turned back to my mother-in-law's house, only to see that my mother-in-law was still wiping tears in the house. Li Xiao stepped forward and hugged her mother-in-law, apologized softly and comforted her mother-in-law.
The three of us finally sat down and had a good talk. My mother-in-law said that she actually missed me very much as a son-in-law, and it was she who was too strong that caused me to divorce Li Xiao. The mother-in-law recognizes her problems and hopes that we can repair the relationship.
