Today is the wedding of my two boys. In the morning, I saw them standing on the red carpet with a silly smile, and I was also happy in my heart. I have been carrying the burden of the eldest daughter in the family for many years.
However, on a happy occasion, why did it become a battlefield at home?
I painstakingly picked out a beautiful red envelope and pressed it in the palm of my hand. It's just a thousand yuan, but my mother's face quietly changed. Before I could hand it to the bride and groom with a smile, my mother began to count me down: "Is it a shame for you to give your brother such a small amount of money?"Other people's families are at least 5,000, and if you are a sister, you will give 800 to 1,000, so how can your younger brother raise his head with others?”
I'm really speechless, I worked hard to squeeze out this thousand, the salary is average, and I have to repay the bank loan, and I have a tight life. I handed my brother a red envelope and explained, "This is already the most I can give, it is not easy to find a job in the market, and the salary is like that." I also have to repay the loan, and my life is tight, either I don't want to give, or it's really not superfluous. ”
Hmph, then I have to support your brother!The family raised you so big, shouldn't you return to the family?Mom looked resentful and dissatisfied.
I smiled bitterly, I was a hard worker, working as a farmer, taking care of my younger brother, and helping the family without delay. But no matter how much I do, it never seems to be enough. I'm like a sponge that has been squeezed dry, and my mother doesn't have enough water to seep through.
I can't do it, Mom, it's not that I don't want to give, but that's the reality. ”
Reality?You know the reality, the reality is that you should find a way to earn money to support your brother, you look at other people's sisters, it is bold to marry your brother. ”
The quarrel intensified, and it took a long time for Dad to stabilize the scene. But my mother's mood still soared, and the explanations became fart.
I really couldn't stand it, I had to be blamed for not being understood, I knelt in front of my mother: "Mom, I tried my best, but I can't do this anymore." I don't deserve a home like this. ”
With that, I stood up, and with the wounds of my heart and the determination not to give in again, I turned and left. The stars faded in the night sky, just like my relationship with my mother's family.
The moment I knelt down to say goodbye to my mother's house, I felt like I had been smashed in the chest by a heavy object, but I didn't look back, because I knew that turning back now meant that I had to compromise, and I couldn't compromise anymore.
That night, I found a small hotel, which was shabby, but it was better than being blamed at my mother's house. The bed was a little damp, but I felt like it was the beginning of my relief.
The next day, the circle of friends and relatives exploded. Some people persuaded me, some scolded me for destroying family relationships, and some people supported my choice. I don't pay attention to that, because I know that no matter how I explain it, there will always be people who can't understand my feelings.
After a few days, I was busy cleaning up, after all, life had to go on. But just when I thought things were fading, I received a **, which was my younger brother. My heart moved, how could he take the initiative to find me?
Sister, why did you just leave?The younger brother's voice was a little helpless.
There's nothing more to say, I can't stand my mother's set anymore. I spoke firmly.
Actually, I don't want you to go, you know, mom's temper, it'll be fine in a few days. ”
I sneered: "My mother's problem with me is not a day or two, but many years." She always felt that I owed her, but I also had my life. ”
The younger brother was silent for a moment: "Sister, in fact, I have always wanted to say, don't be angry." ”
Say what?"I'm a little impatient.
Actually, ......In fact, on the day of my wedding, I was quite angry when I heard what your mother said. ”
Oh, you're finally?"I'm a little sarcastic.
That's not what it means. The younger brother sighed, "I was quite embarrassed at the time, and my mother asked me to support her, but I also know your difficulties." ”
Then why didn't you support me on the spot?"I don't understand.
The younger brother hesitated: "Mom, she ......."She said she was going to take out the money she had saved for years and make it up for me. When I heard it, I thought it was good, so I didn't say anything. ”
I was speechless for a while, it turns out that this thing is still going on. I suddenly felt aggrieved, the red envelope I gave was already the limit of what I could bear, and my mother actually wanted me to pay for my brother's wedding.
Sister, don't be angry, I really couldn't help it at that time. The younger brother's voice was a little aggrieved.
A pang of guilt welled up in my heart, and I thought he was indifferent. Maybe in his eyes, I am a helpless sister, and I can't even support the red envelope of the wedding.
Forget it, I don't want to dwell on that anymore. I sighed, thinking it was endless.
The younger brother was a little embarrassed: "Sister, I really didn't expect it to be like this, I will handle the relationship with my mother well in the future." ”
I smiled: "Okay, you live well, I'll live mine too." ”
Hung up**, I felt inexplicably lost in my heart. It turned out that things were far more complicated than I imagined, and I could never understand my mother's thinking.
As the days went by, I tried not to think about the troubles. However, just as I was thinking about starting over, I received a message. It turned out that there were some rumors from my mother's family about me "running away from the wedding".
This makes me a little speechless, idle eggs hurt, mother?I couldn't help but sneer, why does this family like to toss around so much. I thought it would fade away, but I didn't expect it to get worse.
Later, someone told me that my mother's family actually posted some blushing remarks on the circle of friends, saying that I was jealous of my brother's marriage, so I deliberately made trouble. This makes me angry, it really makes sense.
I felt like I couldn't take it anymore, so I decided to talk to my mother's family.
In front of my mother's family, I didn't say a word, and directly showed them the content of the circle of friends on my phone. Mom was embarrassed while watching: "This ......."It's not me who sent it, maybe someone doesn't like you, it's messy. ”
I smiled disdainfully: "Mom, don't talk nonsense, you don't have a sense of responsibility?".Can this matter be passed casually?”
Mom was a little flustered: "I didn't expect it to be like this." ”
I sneered: "I didn't expect you to be so fond of hype, thinking that I would be forced to have no way out?".”
This time it was Mom's turn to be silent. Dad said embarrassedly: "Don't quarrel, it's all a misunderstanding." ”
I felt a chill in my heart, I was the unreasonable trouble of my mother's family on the one hand, and the helplessness of my brother on the other. I was a little overwhelmed for a moment.
Back at the small hotel, I decided that I really didn't deserve such a family. I opened the box and began to pack my bags, intending to leave this former home and find a happiness of my own.
Since then, I have never been back to the home that once made me moody. Life is like a long journey, and sometimes you have to learn to let go before you can move on. My life has become simple and comfortable, and perhaps, this is the happiness I have always wanted.
