A marriage report, unveiling my seemingly perfect marriage, pushed my life into an unforeseen storm. The storm swept in, with a lot of talk and helpless despair. Little did I know, however, that the gears of fate were quietly changing.
I'm Lin Lan, 33 years old, an only child. My parents are getting old and in a difficult physical condition, and I have always felt that it is my responsibility to take care of them as much as I can. As a result, marriages are always postponed again and again.
My mom suffers from severe insomnia, often having trouble sleeping in the middle of the night and splitting headaches. Dad used to do a few small businesses, and the family economy was okay, but recently experienced the double blow of the epidemic and swine fever, and suffered serious losses. In order to improve the family's economy, Dad plans to switch to cattle farming, but this plan has a long period of time and limited results in the short term.
Just as we are in trouble, a blind date suddenly intrudes into our lives. At first, I was hesitant, but given the plight at home, maybe this was an opportunity. I was shocked that my dad was honest about the family situation and that he could provide financial support.
A few days later, the blind date boy Xiaolong and his parents came to my house. They asked two big questions straightforwardly: to discuss the investment and to identify the family. I was a little caught off guard and didn't expect to have to solve so many problems in one meeting.
During the conversation, I learned that Xiaolong's family has a number of stores in the city, and business is good. He is also an only child, and his parents want him to start a family as soon as possible. Considering that both parties are only children, they directly offered to pay a bride price of 1.6 million. My mom was so happy that she thought I had finally found a good marriage.
However, I felt a little apprehensive and felt that it was going too fast. But considering that the family was in urgent need of funds, and the Xiaolong family seemed to be quite decent, I still agreed to this family business. Later, Xiaolong's parents asked our family to go for a pre-marriage check-up, saying that they hoped that our couple would have a few children and follow their arrangement.
This made me a little disgusted, but for the sake of my family, I chose to compromise. However, when the test results came back, I was dumbfounded. The doctor told me that I had serious uterine problems and that the chances of a successful pregnancy were very low. I didn't expect this to happen to me, after all, my parents have always been in good health.
This sudden news instantly destroyed all the good hopes in front of me.
My heart was like a knife, and I went home. Dad needed money to start a new business, Mom needed **, and I was faced with unexpected test results. My mother frowned at me and comforted me not to mind too much.
However, the father was silent for a long time, and finally decided to take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage and return the bride price. He said that we have always valued integrity, and this time is no exception. In front of relatives and friends, Dad proposed to Xiaolong's family to withdraw from the marriage, although he was very sorry in his heart, but this seemed to be our only choice.
Word spread quickly, and we were immediately targeted. Those who used to laugh at us gloated even more, and those who wanted to borrow money dispersed. It was a hell for me, with a lot of stares and ridicule.
However, half a month later, Xiaolong and his parents came to my house again, still wanting to propose. It dawned on me when he told me the truth. It turned out that Xiaolong himself also had fertility problems, which was hypopituitarism, which was very rare.
He wanted to hide it at first, but when he saw me, he insisted that he didn't want to let go. The blind date after the divorce made him have the idea of quitting, and finally confessed his illness to his parents. Xiaolong's parents sincerely apologized to us, proposed again, and said that they cherished this marriage.
Faced with the sincerity of the Xiaolong family, my parents gave me the idea. Our two families can be said to be sympathetic to each other, and this marriage is not simple. After experiencing this turmoil, I saw clearly the regret and expectation in the eyes of Xiaolong's parents. Perhaps only by truly empathizing can we understand and support each other.
In the end, I chose to accept Xiaolong's proposal again. We understand that this relationship is not easy to come by, and we will cherish it even more. Although we are facing fertility problems, as long as we work hand in hand, I believe that we will eventually usher in new hope.
On the road of life, it cannot be smooth sailing. But it is these setbacks that temper us, so that two souls destined to be compatible will see a rainbow after the storm. Love is a long song in life, some love is love at first sight, and some love has been precipitated over the years.
Lin Lan and Xiaolong's love is like a seed, which has experienced doubts, suspicions, and misunderstandings, and finally sprouted in a frank meeting. Love requires courage and the need to face your true self;Love requires tolerance and acceptance of the other person's imperfections.
In the hustle and bustle of this world, to embrace a soul that is truly compatible with oneself is the happiest thing in this life. New Year's greetings from the south to the north and the north
