My father-in-law suffered from liver cancer, and the day he finally passed away, I will always remember what happened in the hospital.
It was a hot summer day, and my father-in-law's condition suddenly deteriorated, and my husband and I stayed in the hospital for fear of accidents.
That afternoon, my father-in-law woke up from a sleep, his sickly face suddenly became bright, and he told us that he wanted to eat ice cream.
We were all surprised and worried that eating ice cream would not be good for our health, so we went to the doctor.
The doctor said that the old man should buy it for him if he wanted to eat it, but reminded us that it was not appropriate for the patient to eat cold food, so we should be mentally prepared.
The doctor's words made our hearts heavy, and my husband's eyes turned red.
I comforted my husband and asked him to go back to the ward to take care of my father-in-law first, and I went to buy ice cream.
I bought an old popsicle for my father-in-law, and he ate it with relish, like an old child.
Strangely, the princess was enjoying the delicious taste of the popsicle, and suddenly, tears welled up in his eyes, and a whining sound came out of his mouth.
My husband and I were startled, and quickly asked my father-in-law what happened, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked out the window, and sighed with vicissitudes on his face: "This old popsicle evokes too many memories, life is in a hurry, looking back on the past makes people feel emotional!."”
Our husband and wife glanced at each other, and my father-in-law sighed so deeply about life, which made the whole atmosphere even heavier, and no one said anything in the silence.
At this quiet moment, my father-in-law suddenly turned his head to stare at me and asked, "Xiaoling, can you call your mother a ** and ask her to come to the hospital?"”
I thought my father-in-law was talking about my mother-in-law, and I replied that my mother was busy making soup at home, and she would come over when the soup was ready, so it should be soon.
The father-in-law shook his head and explained: "I didn't ask you to call your mother-in-law, but to ask you to call your mother-in-law." ”
My mother?I was slightly startled, not understanding my father-in-law's intentions.
Although my mother and them are in-laws and separated from each other in the same city, they don't have frequent daily contacts, so why do you suddenly want to see my mother?Is it that my father-in-law feels that he is not in good health and wants to explain something, and he can't rest assured that his mother-in-law and our small family are in good health, so he wants to find my mother?
Seeing that I was hesitant, my husband urged: "It's good to hit **, why hesitate?".”
I nodded, took out my phone and dialed my mother's ** in front of my father-in-law.
* There was my mother's silence after hearing the news that my father-in-law was going to see her, I thought it was a bad signal, so I quickly asked, "Mom, can you hear me?"”
My mom replied, "Yes, ......."I can hear you, I'll take a taxi in a moment. ”
I just hung up**, and I felt a little strange about my mother's reaction, but I can't say what happened to the specific **.
My dad died very young, and my mom raised me alone, which was never easy. After a few years of marriage, I always hoped that my mother could find a partner, but she always refused, saying that she was Xi to living alone.
When my father-in-law learned that my mother was coming to the hospital, a flash of joy flashed on his face, but he soon became sad again, and even a little restless, looking at the door of the ward from time to time, his eyes were full of anticipation.
My father-in-law's abnormality baffled me, and I couldn't guess why he wanted to see my motherWhat exactly did he want to say to my mom?
My husband is a person who doesn't like to think, so naturally he didn't notice the strangeness of his father-in-law, and he was already napping on the side, staying up late for several days in a row, and he was already too tired.
About an hour later, my mom came to the hospital. My father-in-law watched her walk slowly and quickly beckoned us to shake his bed.
My husband brought a chair to my mother, and she sat awkwardly on the edge of my father-in-law's bed.
My husband and I stood silently, eager to know what the two old men would say. However, my father-in-law suddenly turned to us: "You two go out for a while, I want to talk alone with my mother-in-law for a while." ”
I had to leave silently, and we stood in the hallway, my mind full of doubts. Why did my father-in-law kick us out?After all, we are all family, is there anything we can't know?
It didn't take long for my mom to come out of the room, her eyes red, and she had obviously just cried. Asked what was wrong with her, she just said it was okay and left in a hurry.
I was worried about her and went downstairs with me. I couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what did my father-in-law tell you just now?"”
Mom was silent, just covered her mouth and cried, which made me even more confused.
Walking out of the hospital gate, my husband's ** suddenly rang: "Xiaoling, come back soon!."Dad is not in a good situation!”
What!"I was so frightened that my heart raced, and I pulled my mom to run back, and her crying was even more sad, and I kept holding her along the way.
Back in the ward, my father-in-law had already been taken to the emergency room, and unfortunately, he never woke up and left us forever.
My husband and I hugged and cried, and my mom sat slumped aside.
The mother-in-law came to the hospital with a hot water bottle full of hot soup, she walked into the emergency room unsteadily, and her body trembled slightly after seeing the scene, and the hot water bottle in her hand fell to the ground with a bang, splashing in all directions.
I stepped forward to help my mother-in-law and tried to comfort her, but she patted my hand and said, "Child, I'm fine." ”
When my mother-in-law saw my mother cowering in the corner and sobbing, her eyes showed surprise, and her brows furrowed slightly, but she didn't say anything, and slowly walked towards her father-in-law's body.
She couldn't see her father-in-law for the last time, and he didn't leave a word. Mother-in-law's heart must be in pain at this moment!She was pale, visibly sad, but there were no tears in her eyes.
The mother-in-law tried to remove the white cloth from her father-in-law's body, but her hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, trembling, and finally slowly lowered her hand.
My husband felt sorry for his mother-in-law and stepped forward to hug her.
Unexpectedly, my mother-in-law gently pushed her husband away, walked straight to my mother, helped her up, and comforted her gently: "Mother-in-law, don't be too sad, the old man can see you before leaving, and I have no regrets!."”
When my mother heard this, she instantly threw herself into her mother-in-law's arms and cried even more sadly.
My husband and I watched this scene and were very confused. What do the words of my mother-in-law mean?What the hell is going on here?My father-in-law died, but my mother-in-law did not shed tears, but my mother was grief-stricken, and when my father died, my mother did not cry like this!Is there something hidden in this?
On the day of my father-in-law's burial, many relatives and friends came, almost all of them were relatives on my mother-in-law's side, after all, my father-in-law was an orphan since he was a child, and he was a son-in-law who married.
My mom was also there, dressed in black, and she was still the saddest one crying. Many people are puzzled and secretly discuss, what happened to this mother-in-law?Why so much grief?
My mother-in-law was busy entertaining guests, and when she heard others talking, she asked me to comfort my mother.
My mother also felt cramped when she saw everyone watching, so she suppressed her tears.
After the funeral, my mother-in-law sorted out my father-in-law's belongings, handed me a locked iron box, told me that the contents of the box were my mother's, and hoped that I would hand them over to her, and go back to accompany her for a few days, comfort her, and tell her that life is unpredictable, so take care more!
I was surprised to take the box from my mother-in-law, this locked iron box I know, because my father-in-law often held it in the study in a daze, but we never knew what was inside.
I was very surprised to hear my mother-in-law's words, which was actually related to my mother, and I looked at my mother-in-law with questions: "How can it be my mother's thing?".And she didn't see her father-in-law much, and her father-in-law left, why was she sad like that?What the hell is going on here?Do you have something to hide from me?”
The mother-in-law sighed lightly: "If you want to know the truth, you better ask your mother, she knows better than me." ”
My mother-in-law didn't want to say more, so I had no choice but to give up and return to my mother's house with the iron box and the doubts in my heart.
When she saw her mother, her eyes were red, and she must have just cried. I blamed a little angrily: "How many days have you been here, 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 cry every day!You tell me honestly, you and your father-in-law have known each other for a long time?What are some secret secrets between you?”
Mom dodged her eyes and denied it softly: "I don't have any secrets with him, I just think of your father when I see him, that's why I cry." ”
I didn't believe it, so I put the iron box in front of her and asked, "What is this?"My mother-in-law said that this box is full of your things, and she wants me to pass it on to you. ”
When my mother saw the box, her eyes lit up, and she obviously recognized the iron box.
I handed her the key and said, "Open it and see, I'm curious about what's inside." ”
Trembling, she opened the box and found that it was full of letters, piled up, each addressed by my mother's name. I was amazed to see how many secrets were hidden in these letters
When my mother saw these yellowed letters, tears welled up in her eyes, and she did not have the courage to open them, so she picked up one and handed it to me to read to her.
I opened the letter and began to read it, but was immediately startled by the fleshy opening of the letter.
Mom asked me what was wrong, and I smiled awkwardly and tried to say, "Dear Fang, are you a**?."Why don't you take my letter?All my letters have been returned, I can't find you, I can't contact you, where are you?I miss you, I miss you, can you hear my heart?We made a vow under that jujube tree to be together forever......”
When I read my father-in-law's affectionate handwritten letter, I couldn't help but stop. I realized that the letter in front of me was written by my father-in-law, expressing deep feelings. I stared at my mother and asked, "This is a letter from my father-in-law, don't you ...... it?"”
Mom nodded tearfully and admitted, "Yes, we used to love each other, but for some reason separated. ”
I asked curiously, "Is it because my dad stole you?"”
My mother shook her head, carefully packed the letters, and then clung to the iron box and told me about her past with my father-in-law.
The story goes back to forty years ago, when my mother was eighteen years old and my father-in-law was nineteen years old, two young hearts quietly knew each other, and their feelings grew, and they made a promise to be together forever under a jujube tree.
After his grandfather learned about the incident, he forced his mother to break up with his father-in-law. Because my father-in-law was an orphan from a poor background, my grandfather resolutely refused to marry his daughter to such a poor boy.
The father-in-law had a sad face, it was the time when the township was conscripted, and being a soldier became every man's dream, and the father-in-law was also eager to change his fate.
Thinking that being a soldier might change his situation and make him eligible to marry his mother, his father-in-law revealed this idea to his mother. His mother strongly supported him, believing that he would become more courageous after joining the army, and his grandparents would no longer look down on him.
So, my father-in-law signed up for the army, and with good luck, he was chosen.
When the father-in-law left, the mother went to see him off, and the two were reluctant to write letters to each other, and the father-in-law told the mother to wait for him to return.
But unexpectedly, not long after my father-in-law left, my grandfather hurriedly arranged another marriage for my mother.
My mother was unwilling, but my grandfather put pressure on her and even beat her, and my grandmother forced her mother with a rope, and if she didn't marry, she would be forced to commit suicide.
The mother was a filial child, and in the face of the persecution of her family, she finally compromised.
Less than a year after my father-in-law's service, my mother married a carpenter, who later became my father.
After that, my mother and father-in-law cut off contact. Her father-in-law tried to find her, but she never saw him, because she was ashamed of the betrayal of her promise and never dared to see him again.
She thought that she would never have any intersection with her father-in-law again in this life, but she didn't expect that they would become in-laws.
When night fell, I hugged my mother tightly and sighed that fate was really incredible. When my husband and I got engaged, and when our parents met, my father-in-law and mother didn't say a word, because they had known each other for a long time.
They remained silent and continued to hide from us.
Since my husband and I got married, my mother rarely interacted with her in-laws, and sometimes invited her to dinner with her, and she always found a reason to refuse, I used to think it was strange, but I didn't expect it to be because she deliberately avoided her father-in-law, she covered it up too well.
Their former love was shattered by fate, and they must have endured too much pain in silence over the years.
If the story of father-in-law and mother-in-law is an unsatisfactory love, then what is the relationship between father-in-law and mother-in-law?
I always remember in my heart that my father-in-law and mother-in-law always lived in harmony.
When I got home, I plucked up the courage to ask my mother-in-law, "Mom, why didn't you shed tears when Dad left?"Don't you love him?”
The mother-in-law smiled slightly, looked at her father-in-law's favorite pot of Chunlan before his death, and said, "I love him, but he has always had a woman in his heart, and you should understand by now, that woman is your mother." ”
I felt sad in my heart and asked, "When did you find out?"”
My mother-in-law looked at me and said slowly, "I already knew, but I didn't know what your mother looked like, and I didn't know that she was that person until you were going to marry my son." ”
I frowned: "Now that you know, why do you still agree to my marriage to your son?"Don't you feel bad?”
The mother-in-law smiled calmly: "What can you change if you stop it?"I don't want to be a bad person. Why should the grievances of the previous generation be involved in the next generation?I won't make it difficult for you, no matter what happens between your mother and father-in-law, you will always be my good daughter-in-law, and this matter will not affect our relationship. Let's act as if nothing happened. ”
My mother-in-law's words touched me deeply, and my admiration for her went to the next level. Most women are prone to jealousy, but my mother-in-law always maintains a calm and calm, calm and steady life!Contrary to my mother, I always can't help but cry when I encounter problems.
After a period of time, my mother finally revealed to me that my father-in-law said to her before he died: "In this life, we miss it, but fortunately, God has favored us and brought our children together, you and I can see each other again, and if we can see you again, there will be no regrets in this life!".”
The father-in-law's farewell words made people feel very emotional, feeling why love in the world is so difficult, and people know each other at the time of life and death.
In this world, it is often difficult for people who love each other to spend a lifetime together, and sometimes they miss the fate of a lifetime just by turning around.
The past cannot be traced, those who have loved each other, if they can't go to the end, why not learn to let go and look at the people around them, in fact, it is also a good choice.
Time cannot be turned back, so we should cherish the present and not let innocent people pay for the pain. 100 help plan
