My name is Yang Ping, I am 67 years old this year, and I am retired at home. I have a 40-year-old son, Xiaoxin, and a 38-year-old daughter-in-law, Fengying. 15 years ago, Xiaoxin and Feng Ying gave birth to a son Xiaoyu, I brought Xiaoyu up**, but I overheard the conversation between Xiaoxin and Feng Ying, and then I knew that I had raised this unfilial son in vain.
As a teacher, I could have easily enjoyed my retirement. But 15 years ago, the garment factory run by Xiaoxin and Fengying suddenly closed down, ran away overnight, and threw the newborn Xiaoyu to me, and there has been no news since.
I could only hold Xiaoyu and start the difficult road of raising. I go to work during the day and exhaust all my time and energy to take care of Xiaoyu at night. In order to let him eat and live well, I cut back on food and clothing, emptied all my savings, and fought alone.
Fortunately, Xiaoyu had excellent grades, so I sold my only house and let him go to a prestigious university. Now Xiaoyu graduated from university, works as a programmer in a foreign company, has a high income of 30,000 yuan a month, buys a car and a house in the city, and lives a rich life.
I don't really care about money, as long as I can see Xiaoyu grow up healthy and happy, I am satisfied. The success of my grandson is the greatest comfort to me.
Until last week, Xiaoyu invited me to his newly bought house for dinner. After eating, he suddenly received a** into the bedroom, I also went to the toilet conveniently, when I passed by his door, I overheard Xiaoyu was playing facetime, and the picture ** appeared familiar to me - Xiaoxin and Fengying!
I was surprised and stood quietly outside the door eavesdropping, only to hear Feng Ying impatiently ask Xiaoxin: "How is our son doing now, do you remember his parents?"My son Xiaoxin said without guilt: "Remember, I wrote my name on his birth certificate." He now has a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan, and he still has a house and a car in the city, so he is living a good life. ”
Feng Ying said proudly: "Well, we relied on him to collect debts back then, and now the creditors have less debt collection." Ignoring him for so many years can be regarded as revenge on Lao Yang, he deserves to bring up our son in poverty!”
When I heard this, tears welled up in my eyes. It turns out that my efforts and expectations over the years are nothing more than free labor and debt collection tools in their eyes. My heart was cut like a knife, and I turned away.
The next day, I went to confront Xiaoyu with red eyes. I told him the content of the ***, and Xiaoyu also burst into tears after listening to it. He said remorsefully, "Grandma, I'm sorry I trusted those two brutes too much. I assure you, I'll go to them to settle accounts and let them taste the punishment of the law!”
I stopped Xiao Yu's words and was silent for a long time. For 15 years, I hated Xiaoxin and them, but I can't let Xiaoyu repeat their mistakes. I took a deep breath and said, "Woowoo, I forgive them." Leaving you back then was a tragedy caused by their psychological distortion and lack of values. But it is precisely because of the process of giving birth to you and raising you that I have experienced happiness, so I will not hate them anymore, I only hope that you will also let go of hatred and become a better person than them. ”
Xiao Yu couldn't cry and knelt in front of me to apologize. The pain in my heart gradually subsided. I finally understood that love doesn't need to be reciprocated, and hate is not worth consuming life. I live to protect this simple maternal love.
