My name is Li Xiaomei, and I live in a corner of the bustling city, and I am an advertising copywriter who focuses on words. This year, I have gone through 35 years of spring and autumn. My husband Li Jianguo and I and our 10-year-old daughter Xiaoyu form a warm little family. Our life, like most urbanites, reveals simple happiness in the ordinary, until a sudden ** sets off waves in our peaceful life.
It was an ordinary evening, and I was busy in the kitchen, preparing dinner for the family. However, the ringing of the ** bell broke the silence. On the other end, my mother's weak voice came over, and she begged me to come over immediately. A sense of foreboding came over me, and I immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. After all, parents are getting old, and any small discomfort can be a precursor to a big problem.
I was anxious to let Li Jianguo take over the preparation of dinner for me, and I hurriedly drove to my parents' house. As soon as I entered the door, I saw my father's face full of anxiety. He told me that my mother had been suffering from a high fever for several days and was in a very bad condition. We need to get her to the hospital as soon as possible.
In the hospital room, I looked at my pale mother lying in the hospital bed, and my heart was full of worry. And my dad kept playing ** on the side, trying to contact my brother Li Xiaodong. However, there was always only a cold busy sound on the other end. Li Xiaodong, the only son in the family, has been running his own small business in the field, so busy that he often can't contact his family.
A few days later, my mother's condition finally stabilized, and Li Jianguo and I were also relieved. We decided to take turns taking care of mom until she was completely **. However, at this moment, Li Xiaodong's ** finally called. His tone was short, saying that he really couldn't take time back to take care of his mother now, and hoped that I could help take care of her for a while. As for the cost, he will call us as soon as possible. However, I know this isn't the first time he's said that. Every time there is something at home, he always shirks responsibility for various reasons, and in the end it is always me and Li Jianguo who bear these responsibilities.
Just when we were busy with my mother's condition, a WeChat message from Li Xiaodong made me completely angry. He actually planned to transfer all four houses in his family to his own name, on the grounds that he was the only son in the family and would inherit the family business in the future. I looked at the words on my phone's screen, and an indescribable anger welled up in my heart. Those four houses are the life savings of their parents, how could they give up their rights and interests so easily?
I went home and told Li Jianguo about it. His always gentle personality couldn't help but be angry when faced with this incident. We decided to talk to our parents about it the next day. In the ward, I bluntly asked my parents if they really wanted to transfer the house to Li Xiaodong. They looked at me and sighed helplessly, saying that it was their decision and hoped I understood. They said that in their hearts, sons and daughters are different, I am already married, I have my own family, and my brother has to inherit the family business. This deep-seated traditional belief made me feel extremely frustrated and powerless.
During that time, I was mired in deep self-doubt and pain. Li Jianguo saw it in his eyes and hurt in his heart, he advised me not to take it too seriously, we have our own life and Xiaoyu. His comfort made me feel a little better, but I knew it affected me much more than that. It made me think about family fairness and respect, and it also made me doubt family affection like never before.
At this moment, Li Jianguo's sister Jianfen called over to express her anger and support. Her straightforwardness and righteousness made me feel a little warm. In the days that followed, I began to try to communicate with my family in the hope that they would be able to change this unfair decision. But every attempt ended in failure, and the parents stood their ground, while Li Xiaodong never showed up.
At this time when the family conflict was intensifying, Dad's health suddenly deteriorated and he needed emergency surgery. This news is undoubtedly another heavy blow to our already stormy family. My mother was devastated, and I felt helpless and anxious like never before. At this time, Li Xiaodong still did not come back, but only expressed his concern through **.
The cost of surgery is as high as more than 70,000 yuan, which is undoubtedly a huge expense for our ordinary family. After discussing with me, Li Jianguo decided to pay the fee in advance to ensure that my father could have a smooth operation. However, my deep dissatisfaction and disappointment with Li Xiaodong has reached its peak. I can't understand how he, as the only son in the family, chose to evade responsibility at such a critical time.
Dad's surgery went well, but he still needs some time of ** and observation. My mom and I took turns at his bedside to take care of him and hope that he would recover as soon as possible. This time was full of challenges and trials for me, but I also learned the importance of love and support from my family.
After this family turmoil, I began to re-examine my relationship with my family and the issues of fairness and respect in my family. I realized that while conventional wisdom is hard to change, we can find better solutions through communication and understanding. At the same time, I also cherish the time I spend with my family and strive to create a harmonious and warm family atmosphere.
