Xiaowei and I have been married for 7 years, and we have lived happily in the past 7 years. I have always had a love for her, and she has always been loyal to me. It wasn't until 3 months ago that I made a seemingly ridiculous request that ruined our stable married life.
It all started with my junior brother Li Jianmin. He had a crush on Xiaowei when he was in graduate school, but Xiaowei chose me in the end. Later, Li Jianmin went to the United States to study, and Xiaowei and I got married. I thought that this matter was over, but I didn't expect Li Jianmin to suddenly return to China 3 months ago.
One day at the company's annual meeting, I drank too much wine, and Li Jianmin sent me home. I drunkenly said to him, "I trust Xiaowei very much, if you want to chase her, just try, but in the end she will still choose me." "I just want to test Xiaowei's feelings for me. Unexpectedly, Li Jianmin happily accepted the proposal.
Seeing Xiaowei burst into tears, my heart was immediately consumed by anger. I whispered, "Xiaowei, it looks like we have to do something. In the company, I will warn Li Jianmin face to face;In life, we should be less likely to meet him. I've been under so much pressure during this time, and I've worked hard for you. ”
Xiaowei wiped away her tears and nodded slightly: "Well, I just want to stay away from Li Jianmin now, I don't want to see him and I don't want to listen to him continue to say those things that disgust me." ”
Brother, what are you doing here so early?I'll lend you a chair to sit on for a while?”
I said with a cold face: "Li Jianmin, we need to talk. ”
He raised his eyebrows, looking like he didn't care about himself: "What are you talking about?".My contract with you is going well. ”
I'm not talking about work. I took a deep breath and lowered my voice and said, "I'll tell you to stop harassing my wife." ”
Li Jianmin was stunned for a moment, and then soon smiled again: "Brother, have you forgotten the agreement between us?"I'm trying to see if Lin Xiaowei likes me or not, isn't that what you agree?”
I couldn't wait to punch him in the face: "Li Jianmin, I was drunk and talking nonsense that day!."I warn you to stay away from Xiaowei and stop pestering her!”
Warning?Why?Li Jianmin's smile deepened, "I like Xiaowei, and Xiaowei hasn't explicitly rejected me." Brother, don't be too much, Xiaowei is not your private property!”
I almost exploded: "You!".What a shameless lewd man!”
Li Jianmin, don't go too far!I couldn't bear to slam it on his desk and said in a deep voice, "I'll say it one last time, from today onwards, I won't allow you to get even half a step closer to my wife!."Otherwise, I swear to sever the relationship between this senior and you!”
With that, I left his office without looking back. Returning to my place, I suppressed my anger and slammed the table.
When I came home from work in the evening, I was in a terrible mood. Pushing open the door, the house was dark, and Xiaowei didn't seem to have come back yet. I lit the light in the foyer and saw a letter on the shoe cabinet.
I opened the letter with trembling hands, and there was only a note inside, which read crookedly: "Xiaowei, my dear, the time and place of our meeting at noon today has been changed to the newly opened French restaurant in Xidan, and I have already reserved a place. Don't forget, I love you. Li Jianmin. ”
At this moment, there was a sound of unlocking at the door, and Xiaowei came back. She was pale, and she knew at a glance that she had just cried. I stared at her coldly, not knowing what to say.
You're back?She looked at me cautiously, like a kitten doing something wrong.
I silently handed her the note: "Are you happy dating Li Jianmin?"”
I laughed dumbly, "Oh?".So you did date?Xiaowei, do you have anything else to explain!”
Stop lying to me!I shook off her hand, "You still want to hide it from me?"Xiaowei, I really misjudged you!”
Nope!I didn't lie to you!Xiaowei grabbed my arm, "You believe me, I didn't go to see Li Jianmin!."I'm sorry for you, but I haven't done anything more abominable!”
I looked deeply into her eyes, and decided to believe her one last time: "Xiaowei, you swear that you have never betrayed me and Li Jianmin together?."”
I swear!She said firmly.
I let out a long breath and took Xiaowei into my arms. The way she wept silently made me feel sorry for her again.
Xiaowei nodded, leaning on my shoulder and sobbing silently. I stroked her long hair in distress and decided to hide from her the fierce quarrel with Li Jianmin today.
A week later, I started working overtime frequently and only came home late at night. I need time to calm down and think about what is happening during this time.
Xiaowei also seems to be reflecting. She persistently prepares my favorite dishes every day and tries to please me in every possible way. I understand her inner self-blame and retention, but I still can't let go of her apologetic eyes.
In this way, the distance between us is getting farther and farther. The rift in my marriage was growing day by day, but I was helpless.
I was stunned that Li Jianmin actually appeared at my door in front of me!
Why are you here!In a rage, I stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar.
Shut up!I punched him in the face, "Still trying to choreograph my wife?."Believe it or not, I'll call the police to arrest you right now!”
Zhang Xiaodong!Stop!At this moment, Xiaowei's voice suddenly came from behind him.
When I looked back, Xiaowei ran over with a panicked face, blocking between me and Li Jianmin.
Xiaowei, get out of the way!I've got to give this brute a little color today!I said through gritted teeth.
Nope!You calm down first!Xiaowei grabbed my arm, "Things are not what you think, I asked Jianmin to come to me today!."”
I looked at her dumbfounded, "What do you mean?".What the hell are you two doing?”
I felt like five thunderbolts were thundering, and at this moment my world collapsed. It turns out that my beloved wife has already established a relationship with other men in my ignorance!
Yang Xiaoqin is very beautiful, has a good personality, takes special care of me, and we successfully entered the palace of marriage. After marriage, we lived happily ever after, except for occasional small quarrels. Recently, though, there have been some cracks in our relationship.
Li Fan, what's the matter with you, I asked you to go to the supermarket to buy vegetables yesterday, and you actually forgot!I waited for you at the door of the supermarket for more than half an hour, and you didn't pick me up**, so I didn't buy the food!"One night, Yang Xiaoqin suddenly questioned me.
Huh?Is it?I don't really remember that. I'm sorry, maybe I was too busy and forgot. "I'm a little bit weak and acting like a stinky fart.
Busy?You know to play your game. I told you to spend more time with your children, and you made all kinds of excuses to shirk it. I don't think you even think about our family!Yang Xiaoqin said angrily.
I have my work and life, and I can't revolve around you and my children 24 hours a day. You can't just confront me just because I forgot an agreement!"I raised my pitch.
Okay, you're right, I should spoil you. We don't have a common language anyway. Yang Xiaoqin sneered.
Just when we were at a stalemate, my mother-in-law, Ms. Zhang, walked in. "What's wrong with you two?Quarreling again?She asked with concern.
Mom, it's all his fault!He forgot to go grocery shopping with me and ignored me**. I asked him to spend more time with the child, but he was not normal!He knows how to play games!"Yang Xiaoqin immediately complained to my mother-in-law.
Fanfan, Xiaoqin is for home, you should be more considerate of her. As a husband and father, you should do more. My mother-in-law advised.
Mom, I've been working hard in my work and life too. She shouldn't have questioned me like that, I have a life of my own. "I defend myself.
You husband and wife should communicate more and understand each other. Don't get angry about small things for a long time. "My mother-in-law continued to persuade us.
Yang Xiaoqin and I were silent, and we had nothing to say for a while. I know my mother-in-law wants us to reconcile, but I'm still a little uncomfortable.
I think a lot alone. Maybe I really should care more about my family than just immerse myself in my own games and socializing.
As a wife, Xiaoqin usually has a lot of pressure to deal with housework and take care of children, and I shouldn't shirk my responsibilities because of her occasional venting. Our marriage requires two people to work together, and I should put myself in her shoes.
Xiaoqin was alone in the room, also reflecting. Maybe she shouldn't be angry over a little thing, and couples need to be more understanding and tolerant. She decided to communicate with Fan Fan to resolve the quarrel.
Fan Fan, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have blamed you so excitedly just now, can you understand me?Xiaoqin said to me tentatively.
I am also at fault, and I will pay more attention to my family in the future and spend more time with you and my children. I nodded.
Well, I'm sure we'll be able to handle that, how about we go out on an outing as a family on holidays?Xiaoqin proposed.
Okay, that's a deal. I smiled and agreed.
Just as we reconciled, my mother-in-law, Ms. Zhang, also came over.
Children, it is true that things will not go well in life, but as long as you learn Xi communication and understanding, you will definitely be able to get through it. Quarrels cannot solve problems, only mutual understanding is the last word. The mother-in-law said kindly.
yes Mom, we got it. Thank you for always caring about us. I nodded solemnly.
It's okay, you husband and wife have to work together. If there's anything that doesn't go well, you can tell your mother. The mother-in-law said with a smile.
Well, thank you Mom!We'll keep trying. Xiaoqin also smiled.
After that argument, my relationship with Xiaoqin took a turn for the better. I began to learn to take the initiative to share the household chores, and often read books and play Lego with my children. Xiaoqin no longer criticized me for some trivial things, but communicated with me gently.
I also accompany her to the supermarket on a regular basis, and the family goes to the park on weekends. My mother-in-law was very relieved to see that we were in a good relationship.
Perhaps, marriage is like the weather, wind and rain are inevitable, but as long as husband and wife understand each other and work together, even after the wind and rain, there will definitely be a beautiful rainbow.
As time passed, my relationship with Xiaoqin became more and more harmonious. Xiaoqin no longer cares about trivial matters, and she understands that I also need personal space. I also learned to take the initiative to participate in household chores and always make my children happy.
Husband, let's take the kids to the zoo on the weekend, shall we? "One day after dinner, Xiaoqin said to me.
Okay, let's go see the baby monkeys and pandas! I hastened to agree.
Yes! Look at the monkeys! My son shouted cheerfully.
Early Saturday morning, the family of four happily drove to the zoo.
Hey, the little monkey is so cute! "I teased the little monkey in the glass window.
Daddy, I'm going to go in and hug the little monkey too! "My son hugged my thigh and begged me.
Baby, beware of being scratched by monkeys. Xiaoqin persuaded softly.
Let's go see the giant pandas! I proposed.
Yes! Giant panda! My son happily jumped off the bench and pulled me to run.
Slow down and be careful about falling! Xiaoqin reminded in the back.
We had a fun weekend of family time. When I came home in the evening, my mother had already cooked a steaming meal at home.
Come on, come on, eat braised pork ribs today! "Mom greeted us with open hands.
I love braised pork ribs! I sat down happily and prepared to go.
Mom, thank you for helping take care of the family today, it's been a great effort. Xiaoqin hugged her mother.
It's okay, just be happy. Mom said with a smile.
After dinner, the family sat on the couch and watched TV. I hugged Xiaoqin and the child, and my heart was full of happiness. Xiaoqin also leaned on my shoulder, a happy smile on her face.
Fanfan, I found that you have changed a lot and matured a lot. Mom looked at me and nodded.
It's all thanks to you and Xiaoqin. I laughed.
Well, we will be together forever as a family in the future! Mom said.
Well! Xiaoqin and I said in unison.
Looking at the scene of our family having fun, my mother had a relieved smile on her face. Husband and wife are harmonious and the family is happy, this is the result she wants most.
Xiaoqin and I went through a storm, but our love rainbow finally appeared. It all depends on the understanding and dedication of both parties. I am grateful to Xiaoqin and my mother for being a better person for me. From now on, we will work together to live a better future.
