My name is Ma Xiaoling, I am 28 years old this year, and I live with my husband Li Yu in the county. Mother-in-law Zhang Lin is 68 years old this year and is her husband's biological mother.
A few days ago, my mother-in-law suddenly fainted at home, and we rushed her to the hospital. The doctor diagnosed my mother-in-law with advanced lung cancer, and if it wasn't immediately, I'm afraid there were only a few months left.
The doctor said that the cost of ** should be at least 300,000 yuan. Although it will be difficult at home, in order to save my mother-in-law, we did not hesitate at all, and decided to bear all the medical expenses without saying a word.
My mother-in-law eventually decided to have surgery and chemotherapy. I went to the hospital every day to take care of her and did everything I could to make my mother-in-law happy.
I couldn't help but shed tears, hugged my mother-in-law in the past, and comforted her softly: "Mom, you will always be the most beautiful woman in my heart, I will always love you and take care of you."
My mother-in-law also had red circles in her eyes and looked at me lovingly: "Xiaoling, when I meet a good daughter-in-law like you, I have not come in vain in this life."
I shook my head resolutely, clasped my mother-in-law's hand and said, "No, Mom, I will always be with you, and our family will be with you."
The mother-in-law finally showed a joyful smile, nodded and said, "Okay, Mom listens to you, I will definitely take good care of myself and accompany you for a few more years!" ”
I chatted with my mother-in-law all afternoon, and she talked about interesting stories about her childhood, the bits and pieces of falling in love with her husband's father when she was young, and her mother-in-law's laughter was crisp and lovely, just like when she was younger.
The doctor said that the chemotherapy was working well and that my mother-in-law's condition was expected to improve, and I was so happy that I couldn't close my mouth.
I hung up **, and my mind was a mess. At this time, my mother-in-law saw that my face was not right, and asked me with concern what had happened.
My mother-in-law was silent for a long time after hearing this, then she looked at me and said in a calm tone: "Xiaoling, you can give all the money to your husband."
When I heard this, my heart was cut like a knife, and tears welled up in my eyes...
Mom, no, you're so weak now, you need money to heal your illness! I excitedly said, "We'll think of something else, your illness is the most important thing!" ”
The mother-in-law shook her head gently, with love in her eyes: "Daughter-in-law, people are old, and living one day at a time is one day, don't worry about me."
The company has fallen, how will you two live? Give him the money, and I'm sure that with your ability and wisdom, you'll think of something else.
When I heard my mother-in-law's words, tears rained down and I threw myself into my mother-in-law's arms and cried: "Mom, how can you say that! You are more important to us than anything else, we will definitely find a way to save you, please be sure to hold on! ”
My mother-in-law stroked my head, and tears flowed down: "Silly girl, you young people are the future and hope of this family!" Mom has lived so long that she is already content.
I also wanted to persuade my mother-in-law again, but at this time, my uncle rushed to the hospital, and he was also very anxious after learning about the situation: "Auntie, don't treat it, it's true to go home and be happy for a few years!" We can't help and add to your troubles, I'm really sorry for you! ”
The mother-in-law shook her head, a shallow smile on her face, she had decided. My uncle and I begged again and again, but my mother-in-law was resolute, and finally we reluctantly agreed to lend our savings to my husband first.
Early the next morning, I came to the company with 300,000 yuan to find my husband. After I gave him the money, he was ecstatic and immediately invested in the research and development of new products, trying to save the company's crisis.
I went to visit my mother-in-law in the hospital, and she was obviously losing a lot of weight, but she still smiled warmly at me. "Don't worry about me, you young people take good care of yourself.
Mother-in-law said. My heart was sour, but I could only nod my head in agreement. One day a month later, my husband called excitedly, their new product was successful, and the company's transaction volume was large**, and it had already weathered the difficulties! He gave me the money back as soon as possible.
I hurriedly drove to the hospital.
I hurried to the hospital and saw my mother-in-law lying on the hospital bed, emaciated to the point of being skinny and bones, and my heart suddenly panched.
Come, I'll feed you some porridge. "I pretended to be fine, scooped up the warm porridge and blew it cold, and fed it to my mother-in-law in one bite.
The mother-in-law shook her head weakly, and her voice was very soft: "Daughter-in-law, I have no appetite, don't bother." It's you and Yu'er, have the company's affairs been resolved? ”。
I hurriedly said, "Solve it, Mom, it's all thanks to you!" The company was saved by you, and we will definitely work harder to earn money and take good care of you in the future.
The mother-in-law smiled, with relief in her eyes: "That's good, it's my greatest wish for you to live a good life." I have no regrets, and I am satisfied to see you happy.
Mom, what are you talking about? I hurriedly interrupted my mother-in-law, "Your health has just improved, and there are still many days to live!" When you are discharged from the hospital, I will cook your favorite dishes every day, and we will accompany you everywhere as a family.
My mother-in-law shook her head and patted my hand gently: "Silly girl, I'm like this, how long do I expect to live?" That's how people get old, and I've accepted it.
I choked up and nodded, tears blurring my vision. I know my mother-in-law is very open to life and death, but I still can't accept the fact that I lost her.
The mother-in-law smiled: "You are already a competent and good wife and daughter-in-law, and I will be relieved to be a mother for a longer time in the future."
Seeing you so good now, I feel much more at ease. I'm old, it's time to hold my grandson, you and Yu'er have to work hard! ”。
I nodded with red eyes and clenched my mother-in-law's dry hand. I know she's not much left, but I'm still going to keep her happy.
In the following days, I took a long leave to be with my mother-in-law every day. I took the old ** to tell her about our family history, as well as interesting stories about my husband's childhood.
I also learned to cook Sichuan food for her, although it was not as good as her craftsmanship, but my mother-in-law also ate it very well every time. In the evenings I would sing to her, massage her, and do my best to make her feel better.
I also came to understand that companionship was the best gift I could give her.
As the days passed, my mother-in-law's health deteriorated, she was pitifully emaciated, and my heart was like a knife but I couldn't do anything.
I was so anxious that I looked for a doctor to prescribe some nutritional injections for my mother-in-law to strengthen her physique. But several doctors sighed: "Child, the incident has come to this, you should also prepare."
Just when I was in despair, a mysterious Chinese medicine doctor came to the ward, and he said that he had a precious ginseng soup that could save my mother-in-law.
The Chinese medicine doctor quickly boiled the ginseng soup with cherished medicinal herbs, and after the mother-in-law drank it, the fever miraculously subsided, and her spirit was much better.
I happily pushed my mother-in-law out of the hospital and went home, and as soon as I entered the house, I saw my husband and neighbors arranging there.
My husband hurriedly hugged his mother-in-law and said excitedly: "Mom, it's great that you can **!" We will never be apart again! "The neighbors also came over to give my mother-in-law a high-five, and asked her to stay with us for a few more years.
Since then, we have lived incredibly happy lives. I was busy taking care of my mother-in-law's daily life every day. My husband's company is thriving, and I have hired someone to take care of my mother-in-law.
From time to time, we would go back to our hometown and visit my mother-in-law's grave to pay respects to her parents and husband. The mother-in-law looked at the tombstone and said lovingly, "They are all gone, now it's my turn."
My husband and I are reluctant to let my mother-in-law leave us, but we also know that the time will come when we should let go.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, my mother-in-law can already be discharged from the hospital. I drove to pick her up and saw that although she was still thin, she was much better.
I said as I carefully helped my mother-in-law into the car.
The mother-in-law smiled and nodded: "Good boy, I can finally go home, my mother has been waiting for this day for a long time!" ”
When I got home, my husband also greeted my mother-in-law at the door, and he said happily, "Mom, welcome home!" The company is operating very well during this time, we have prepared a travel plan, and when you recuperate for a few days, we will go to Hainan as a family for a vacation! ”
The mother-in-law smiled from ear to ear, she reached out and touched her husband's head: "My son is really capable, and I have run the company well, and my mother is much more relieved."
My mother-in-law recuperated at home for a period of time, her health improved a lot, and her spirit was very good. Finally, our family embarked on a trip to Hainan.
My husband and I are also quietly planning to surprise my mother-in-law. When we got home, we excitedly said to my mother-in-law, "Mom, we have good news for you, I'm pregnant!" ”。
When my mother-in-law heard the news, she was so excited that her eyes were full of tears, she hugged me and my husband, and her smile bloomed like a bright flower: "Great, finally there are juniors!" Now my mother has no regrets, daughter-in-law, you must take care of your body and raise your children well! ”
Since then, I have been at home to give birth, taking care of myself and my little life. The mother-in-law was also very happy, she learned to sew sweaters and knit small shoes for her grandson, and also re-polished her husband's childhood toys, wanting to make everything ready for the arrival of the baby.
In this way, in warmth and joy, I gave birth to a big fat boy safely. named Zhang Chen, and deliberately put her mother-in-law's surname in front when she named it, which is a tribute to her.
When Zhang Chen was one year old, we celebrated his birthday, the family was lively, Zhang Chen stumbled and learned to walk, her mother-in-law smiled and applauded, and her husband was busy taking pictures and videos, the scene was warm and touching.
I finally experienced the anxiety and joy of being a mother. Watching my mother-in-law gently raise her grandson, I understand a truth: the love and mutual help between family members is the most precious thing in the world.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Zhang Chen is already five years old. He affectionately called his mother-in-law "grandma" and often pestered her to tell stories or sing songs.
My husband and I have a successful career, and we are ready to add another little partner to Zhang Chen. When I got pregnant for the second time, my mother-in-law was so excited that she smiled and said, "Now our family has a good harvest again!" Hurry up and give birth to a little blonde girl, so how good it would be for Zhang Chen to have a cute sister.
Sure enough, I successfully gave birth to a blonde and blue-eyed little girl named Zhang Xinyi. When the mother-in-law saw her little granddaughter, she cried with joy, and she hugged Xinyi and sang softly.
In this way, surrounded by the old and the young, Zhang Chen and Zhang Xinyi grew up happily. Zhang Chen is like a big brother, always taking care of and protecting his sister; Zhang Xinyi clings to her brother, and the two are inseparable.
In a blink of an eye, Zhang Chen went to elementary school, and Zhang Xinyi also reached the age of nursery. My husband and I are busy with work, and my mother-in-law takes full care of the children.
One day, the children suddenly got a cold, and my mother-in-law took care of them overnight, and the next day she caught a cold. I was anxious, afraid that my mother-in-law's old body would not be able to stand it, but my mother-in-law still comforted me with a warm smile: "I'm fine, it's just a cold, Chenchen and Yiyi's health is important."
My mother-in-law's cold quickly recovered, but it still reminded me that she was no longer young. My husband and I decided to hire someone to take care of the children and reduce the burden on my mother-in-law.
Time flies, the children grow up, and the mother-in-law's hair is getting grayer and whiter. Although she always has a smile on her face, I also know that this body will one day come to the end of its life.
The days passed, and in a blink of an eye, Zhang Chen and Zhang Xinyi were both in middle school. They gradually grew up**, but in front of their mother-in-law, they still clinged to their mother-in-law like when they were children.
Grandma, I took the first place in my grade! Zhang Chen happily shared the report card with her mother-in-law.
Grandma, I'm participating in ** drama rehearsals, can you come to see me perform? Zhang Xinyi was sweetly coquettish.
The mother-in-law smiled and nodded, her face full of pride and joy because of the growth of her grandchildren.
But I could see that my mother-in-law's physical condition was slowly declining, she was always coughing lightly, and she was tired and out of breath after walking a few steps.
Although my mother-in-law didn't want to cause us trouble, she was finally persuaded by our soft grinding and hard foam.
I took a break from work and accompanied my mother-in-law to the best hospital in Europe**. The doctor said that although he was older and slightly sicker, it was completely manageable.
Finally, with the most advanced technology and patient care, my mother-in-law's health improved.
Just when we were about to return to China, my husband suddenly called, and he said in an excited tone: "I was appointed to the company!" Now we can move into the villa area and give mom and children a better life! ”
I cried with joy, and my mother-in-law was so happy. We decided to fly back directly from abroad to give my husband a big surprise.
Back at home, everything was completely new. We stayed in a large, clean and bright house in a very pleasant environment. The children happily chose a room and planned to have a dog in the garden.
Daughter-in-law, if I can see your family happy, I will have no regrets in my life. The mother-in-law said with emotion.
I held my mother-in-law's hand, and my eyes were full of tears: "It is all thanks to your help and dedication all the way that our family will have today."
The mother-in-law nodded and smiled with satisfaction. At sunset, the smiling figures of the elderly and children are so warm, and I know that this is the meaning of the home I am pursuing.
