On the day I went home, the sun was setting and the golden afterglow was shining in the alleys of my hometown. Stepping into the house, a familiar local atmosphere blows towards you, as if time has stood still here. Mom and brother greeted them, with a hint of anxiety on their faces. I saw a hint of tiredness in my mother's eyes, but more of anticipation.
Yumeno, you're finally back. "Mom took my hand with anticipation in her eyes. My heart is hot, maybe this time back, we can mend the gap between us in those years.
However, when I found out that my mother was indifferent to me and favored my younger brother, the expectation in my heart gradually disappeared, and in my place came a deep disappointment. Mom always doted on her younger brother and indulged him indescribably with her willfulness. And whenever I tried to get closer, my mother's gaze always dodged, which made me feel an inexplicable helplessness.
During a dinner, I couldn't help but ask my mother, "Mom, why are you always so indifferent to me?"Am I so unimportant in your heart?Mom's eyes roamed, as if avoiding my gaze.
Yumeyuki, you are a sensible child, unlike your brother who always needs to be taken care of. My concern for your brother does not mean that I am indifferent to you. "My mother's tone was light, but it made me feel endless grievances.
When I grew up, I studied hard to Xi and was admitted to university. During this period, my mother was still cold to me, but I was not discouraged by this. I think if I get better, maybe she'll change her opinion of me. I got a good job and created a world for myself, but my mother's attitude remained the same.
On this day, my mother and younger brother called ** and said that there was an urgent matter at home. My heart tightened, and I hurried back to my hometown. **On the other end, my mother's voice was full of grievances and uneasiness: "Mengzhi, your brother wants to get married, but he doesn't have enough money to buy a house, can you borrow him 150,000?"”
Hearing this request made my heart flutter. Mom, who had always been cold, begged me so tactfully this time. Maybe it's because I've been seeking her attention, but this time she saw my hesitation and began to explain, "Yumeyuki, you know my brother's current situation, he really needs help. You are an older sister and should help your younger brother. ”
I fell into deep thought and began to contradict myself. My mother's grievances, my brother's expectations, and my longing for family are intertwined. Eventually, I said yes. I thought maybe this was an opportunity to make up for the affection.
However, when I offered to ask my brother to pay back the money, my mother's attitude surprised me. She angrily accused me of having no family concept, saying that the 150,000 yuan was "sponsored by my friendship" and not borrowed. I began to feel a wave of anger at the fact that the money I had earned by working hard was just to meet their needs
Mom, it's not a friendship sponsorship, it's my hard-earned money. I can help my family, but that doesn't mean you can ask for it again and again. "I tried to express my opinion rationally, but my mother criticized me in every way.
How can you be so selfish?This is for your brother's future. Can't you give a little more for your family?"Mom's voice was full of dissatisfaction and grievance, and her words made it impossible for me to refute.
In this family storm, I tried to judge my uncles and uncles, but found that they did not dare to intervene for fear of offending my mother. I was completely disappointed by all this, and I realized that maybe I no longer belonged to this home.
At that time, I decided to cut off my relationship with my mother. I found a man who loved me and we decided to get married. At the wedding, my mother-in-law looked at me with concern, handed me a cup of tea, and said gently: "Mengzhi, we will be a family from now on." "At that moment, I felt the warmth of real family, while my mother was paralyzed in my brother's house, and no one cared about me.
My life in my new home was getting back on track, but my mother's illness was getting worse. The younger brother is facing both financial and mental pressure. I have an indescribable feeling in my heart, and this may be the reconciliation of fate.
On an opportunity to go back to my hometown, I went to my brother's house to visit my mother. Mom was pale and slumped in a wheelchair, her eyes full of helplessness and remorse. I sat down next to her softly and suddenly noticed that her hands were a little cold.
Mom, what's wrong with you?"I asked with concern.
She smiled bitterly"Dream, I was wrong. I'm so attached to my brother that I neglect you. You've always been a sensible child, but I haven't been able to cherish it. "
When I heard these words, my heart swelled up. Maybe that's the kind of care and apology I've been looking forward to. I looked at my mom and suddenly it dawned on me that it might not be so difficult to forgive her. After all, she's also a wounded soul.
Slowly, the distance between me and my mother gradually narrowed. Although the pain of the past cannot be forgotten, I am willing to give her a chance. I know that life is full of twists and turns, and sometimes we can only choose to be tolerant and choose to forgive.
