My name is Xiaofang and I am 23 years old. I got engaged to my childhood sweetheart Xiao Ming, and the wedding date is next month. The two of us grew up together and can be said to be inseparable. I love Xiao Ming very much, so when he proposed to me, I readily agreed.
But the good times were short-lived. Xiao Ming's family is not good, and the new house prepared for us is only 90 square meters. I was sad when I heard the news because my family has a population of 13!I'm really worried about how so many of us can afford to live in such a small house.
I discussed with Xiao Ming with the mentality of trying it out: "Xiao Ming, you see that this house is really too small, can we live in it as a family?"”
Xiao Ming was a little embarrassed and said, "Xiao Fang, this is already the largest house I can afford." I've been trying to save money all these years, and I've drained all my savings to buy this house, and I can't afford to buy a bigger house. You just have to do it, and when my career is successful in the future, I promise to change you to a big house!”
I could hear the apology and helplessness in Xiao Ming's tone, and I knew that he had done his best. I felt sorry for Xiao Ming, and I couldn't bear to embarrass him, so I had to hold back my tears and reluctantly agree: "Okay, then I'll settle it first, you have to remember to compensate me later!."”
Xiao Ming happily hugged me and kissed me heavily on the forehead: "I will!."I will definitely give you the best!”
Although I was still a little apprehensive, I smiled when I saw Xiao Ming's smug appearance.
On the day of the wedding, I propped up the heavy wedding dress and slowly walked to the red carpet with my mother's support. When I took Xiao Ming's hand under the gaze of everyone, in addition to happiness, there was also a trace of worry in my heart. I looked at my mother-in-law and saw a look of displeasure on her face. My heart sank. Sure enough, the matter of this small house is destined to become a knot in our hearts after marriage.
After the wedding, my in-laws and I lived in a small 90-square-meter house. At first, everyone tried to huddle together as much as possible, which was barely acceptable. Xiao Ming and I slept in the bedroom, and my in-laws and my little sisters were crammed into the living room. I was tired from going out early and returning late every day to take care of my family and cook.
Just when I thought my life had stabilized, my in-laws suddenly turned around and didn't recognize anyone. They started criticizing me endlessly, not satisfied with anything: "Why is Xiaofang's cooking so unpalatable?"."Why is there such a mess in the house?"It's so loud to snore at night, it's impossible to rest!I swallowed all of them, but their criticism did not stop at all.
Xiao Ming is tired of running around every day for work, and when he comes home, he falls asleep. I wanted to talk to him, but I couldn't bear to say anything when I saw his tired look. Over time, the relationship between me and my mother-in-law became more and more stiff. One day, my mother-in-law actually scolded me loudly in front of my little sister for being an unfilial daughter. I couldn't hold back anymore and had a big fight with my mother-in-law. From then on, my mother-in-law was very cold to me and always treated me with an unhappy face. Xiao Ming is busy with work, and he also sees the disharmony in the family, but he really lacks skills, so he can only persuade me to tolerate my mother-in-law more.
I really want to put up with it, maybe my mother-in-law is just in a bad mood because of the small house she lives in. But I'm tired myself, and I really don't want to be wronged anymore. Sometimes when I'm alone in bed, I think I'm like a bird in a small cage, unable to break free from this breathless environment, no matter how much I struggle.
Just when I was on the verge of a mental breakdown and my life seemed to be trapped, one day my neighbor Cuong took the initiative to visit me and offered to help. Only then did I realize that he had been silently watching my condition. I was a little resistant at first, but Keung's care was like an oasis in the desert, making me feel a little warm. He also often talked to me about my heart, which made me find some comfort, which made me closer and closer to him.
I plucked up the courage to tell Ming that I was going to be with Cuong. Xiao Ming was shocked, took my hand and begged me repeatedly.
Xiaofang, please don't leave me!We can slowly find a way to solve the current problem, I will work overtime to make more money, and I will find ways to give you a comfortable home!”
I shook him off coldly, tears streaming down my face: "But I can't afford to wait any longer!."How miserable have I been these days, don't you have any points in your own heart?My mother-in-law makes things difficult for me every day, and my little sisters are very uncomfortable huddled together, but you can't help anything!”
Xiao Ming looked at me apologetically, and his eyes were red: "Xiao Fang, it's all my fault, but you have to believe that I will change!."”
I shook my head and turned to step out of the threshold. I knew I was making the right decision. With Cuong, I will live the life I want, and I will no longer be a sleepy beast in this little family that suffocates me.
I went downstairs to Cuong's house and was about to knock on the door. At this moment, Xiao Ming rushed over and grabbed my arm: "Xiao Fang!."I beg you!Let's go home!"I was caught by him, and a wave of anger rushed to my head. I shook off his hand, turned my head and said coldly, "Xiao Ming, don't pester me anymore." My decision will not change. From today onwards, you and I are cleared!”
With that, I walked into the hallway without looking back. Xiao Ming sat on the ground in pain, tears streaming out of his eyes. I endured the sourness in my heart and went upstairs to knock on Cuong's house. He greeted me excitedly: "Xiaofang, you are finally here!."Come in and take a look, this is the big house I'm going to show you!”
Cuong and I discussed elopement. I also came to realize that Cuong actually loves me very much, and he will give me everything I want. I am very happy with him, and this happiness even overshadows the guilt of Xiao Ming. I told myself that choosing Keung was the right decision for me in my life.
The day of the wedding came quickly. Cuong asked me to meet in a seaside town, and then we could go to our new home in the city to start a new life. I was so excited that I could finally get married with Cuong. All kinds of unpleasant memories with Xiao Ming will be left behind me, and I will have a good life.
I was thrilled to come to the seaside town, and from a distance, I saw Cuong, a tall man, standing on the edge of the pier and looking out to sea. "Cuong!I walked up quickly, wanting to hug him to celebrate the big day.
At this moment, Cuong turned around, and there was not the slightest joy on his face. He pursed his lips and looked solemnly away from my hands that wanted to hug him. A premonition of panic surged through me. What the hell is going on?The ecstasy in me came to an abrupt end at this moment.
I looked at Cuong in horror, my head booming. What the hell is going on?Why is Cuong so apologetic and empty-hearted?
Cuong, what the hell do you mean?Didn't we say we'd go to the big house you bought in the city?I asked, my voice trembling.
I felt the world spin and I sat on my knees with my legs limp. It turned out that everything was just Ah Qiang's fabrication, and I was deceived so defenselessly!I covered my mouth and cried bitterly, the despair and pain in my heart almost overwhelmed me. I'm the biggest fool ever!
Xiaofang, let's go, there is no future you want here. Cuong said to himself. I stood up with tears in my eyes and turned to leave. I never want to see Ah Qiang again, and I don't want to be hurt and deceived by anything or anyone again. I want to escape from this seaside town that makes me feel cold!
Just then, I saw a familiar figure running towards me panting. It's Xiao Ming!Seeing that my soul was not possessed, he grabbed my shoulder excitedly: "Xiaofang!."You've finally come to your senses!Come home with me!”
I looked at Xiao Ming lifelessly, exhausted and unable to speak. Xiao Ming hugged my paralyzed body and glared at Ah Qiang hatefully: "You bastard, you actually cheated on my wife!."I will definitely take revenge on you!After saying that, he raised his hand and gave Cuong a strong slap in the face.
Ah Qiang covered his red and swollen cheeks and scolded unexpectedly, "What's so great about you?".You can't give Xiaofang a good life, you forced her to a dead end!The two of them argued endlessly, and the atmosphere was tense.
Xiao Ming finally nodded helplessly, turned around and kicked Ah Qiang hard: "Save your quibbles!."I warn you, if I see you harassing my wife again, I will definitely make you look good!With that, he gently helped me and walked to his car parked not far away.
At the crossroads of life, I have once again returned to the original point. But I don't have the strength to question and choose anymore. I just silently let Xiao Ming carry me into the car, and give me support when I lost my soul. The car slowly drove away from the seaside town, and I looked at the sea and sky, and my tears finally dried up at this moment. Back at Xiao Ming's house, I lay in bed all day long, letting time pass by beside me. When my mother-in-law saw me like this, she didn't embarrass me anymore, but just walked into the room from time to time to look at me. I knew that in her heart, I had become a failure, a poor outcast.
Xiao Ming often sat on the edge of my bed, trying to tease me or get me to eat. But I'm already insensitive to all this. "I'm sorry, Xiaofang, it's all my fault. He often said that. I even felt some sympathy for the man in front of me, who was annoyed and blamed himself. I know he's in pain too. In the end, what is tragic about this farce is our once happy love.
A few days later, Xiao Ming suddenly ran into the room excitedly and woke me up listlessly. "Xiao Fang, hurry up!I have good news that will make you happy!I sat up blankly, looking at his radiant appearance, tilting my head in bewilderment. He couldn't help but smile and happily announced, "Xiaofang, we're moving!."I found a new house of 130 square meters, the environment is very nice!Pack your bags now, we can go to our new home today!”
When I arrived at my new home, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a cosy and cosy little apartment. There was even a small flower tree on the balcony. "I specially asked people to plant it," Xiao Ming said with a smile, "I remember that you always wanted a balcony with flowers and plants, right?"I finally couldn't hold back anymore, and threw myself into Xiao Ming's arms and cried in pain. It turned out that he had always cared about me and remembered my little wishes. He wasn't as numb and apathetic as I thought he would. Perhaps, this is what the home I have always longed for without knowing it looks like.
Since then, Xiao Ming and I have gradually regained the sweetness and trust we had at the beginning. Every morning the sun shines into the room, and at night we hug each other and fall asleep. It's all so good, it's like a flawless dream. I can't even believe the beauty of reality.
Even if the future is long, so what? At this moment, he is by my side, and I am satisfied.
What are you looking at?My face was covered with my most beloved smile. Xiao Ming hugged me from behind and gently touched my hair.
Thinking about our baby and our bright future. I turned to him and kissed him on the cheek, "By the way, you haven't forgotten what you promised me, have you?"”
What's the matter?Xiao Ming asked with a smile.
Of course, 5 years ago, you said that you would change to a big house!I gave him a kick.
What is there to remember about this, it has long been cashed in. Xiao Ming smiled mysteriously and pulled me out the door.
I somehow followed him to the car. He opened the door for me and sat around the front of the car and into the driver's seat.
Where are we going?I asked curiously.
Go see your big house. Xiao Ming stepped on the accelerator and the car started slowly.
I'm even more confused, what do you mean by that?But after thinking about it, just let him go, with Xiao Ming, it is always full of surprises and romance.
The car slowly drove into an upscale neighborhood and stopped in front of a beautiful single-family house. Xiao Ming got out of the car and opened the car door for me, and said with a smile: "Madam, we have arrived, please!."”
My eyes widened and I couldn't believe it was true. I looked around at this beautiful house and yard with surprise, and I was so excited that tears came down my eyes. Xiao Ming took my hand and put the key in the palm of my hand: "This is your new home, and our baby can grow up in this loving home in the future." ”
I almost burst out laughing and hugged my dearest husband. It turned out that in order to surprise me, he secretly bought a house and waited for the perfect time to give me a huge surprise!
Holding Xiao Ming, I can't help but recall the bits and pieces when we first met. At that time, we were young and frivolous, and we made an alliance, but we also experienced hardships and storms. Now we can finally enjoy the joy of family in this warm home. I thank God for giving me such a palatable, considerate and loving husband. I really have the happiest marriage in the world!
