Xia Li sat in front of the piano, her fingertips running over the black and white keys, and the song "Moonlight" flowed slowly on this gloomy afternoon. The dense rain outside the window reflected in her eyes, hazy and blurry.
Ding-dong—" The doorbell interrupted her thoughts. Xia Li got up and opened the door and saw an old lady with gray hair standing in the doorway.
Auntie, why are you here? Please come in and sit down. Xia Li hurriedly asked the old man to come in and poured her a cup of hot water.
Why did Auntie run so far alone, what about Uncle and Lin Qiang? Xia Li asked with concern.
The old lady sat down, drank a sip of water, and said with tears in her eyes: "Your uncle, I didn't survive because of nasopharyngeal cancer last year, and I left first, Lin Qiang He has been infected with alcohol since he separated from you, and he had an accident at the company dinner last month, and he didn't save him, and now I'm left alone, I really miss you and the baby, so I'll come and see." ”
As soon as she heard this, Xia Li's eyes were red, she listened to her aunt's words, she didn't expect that so many changes had taken place in the past few years since she left.
6 years ago, Xia Li and the old lady's son Lin Qiang met and fell in love, and got married. At that time, Xia Li was 29 years old and a piano teacher with a monthly income of 15,000 yuan. Lin Qiang is 5 years older than her and works as a project manager in a foreign company with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan.
After marriage, the two had a very strong relationship and lived a carefree and happy life. Two years later, Charlie became pregnant. When she was 5 months pregnant, Xia Li had a threatened miscarriage and could only rest in bed, for the sake of the child, she had to quit her job as a teacher and raise the fetus with peace of mind. The mother-in-law also came over to help cook and take care of Xia Li.
Who knew that when she was 7 months pregnant, a sudden change turned this happy family upside down.
It was a rainy evening. Lin Qiang was still reading the documents on the side, Xia Li felt weak and weak, and her forehead was hot. She whispered to Lin Qiang, "Honey, can you pour me a glass of water?" I seem to have a fever. ”
Who knew that Lin Qiang sat still and said coldly: "Go by yourself, I'm busy." ”
Xia Li felt inexplicable, and begged softly: "I'm very dizzy, can you pour me a glass of water?" ”
Distraught, he put down his papers, stood up and walked towards Xia Li. Xia Li thought he wanted to help, but she didn't want Lin Qiang to come up and slap me: "I worked hard to raise you, you know how to instruct me?" Don't you see I'm busy? Cure yourself when you are sick! A crisp sound echoed in the quiet space.
Xia Li covered her hot cheeks, tears flowed uncontrollably, and she asked desperately, "Lin Qiang, what's wrong with you."
It turned out that during this period of time, the company's performance declined, and Lin Qiang was under a lot of pressure, irritable, and emotionally unstable. But he has always been gentle, Xia Li ** has seen him like this.
What's wrong with me? I want to work to support my family, you don't have a job now, the pressure is all on me alone, it's good for you, you have nothing to do at home every day! has a fever, and is so hypocritical" Lin ** jumped like thunder, sweeping all the things on the table to the ground.
Lin Qiang yelled hysterically, and Xia Li couldn't cry: "Husband, calm down, I still have a child in my belly." We can say it well.
Say it well? Nothing to say! Do what you can do yourself! Lin Qiang pulled her up and pulled her hard. , Firmly dragged Xia Li to the ground, Xia Li held her stomach, and there was a slight pain in her stomach. Tears blurred her vision, and she wanted to escape from this place, from this terrifying man.
Xia Li dragged her heavy body and came to the hospital alone, and asked the doctor to check the condition of the fetus as soon as possible, but fortunately the child was fine, and the fever was relieved after taking medicine.
The next day, Lin Qiang came to the hospital early, apologized to Xia Li and admitted his mistake, saying that he was confused because of the pressure of work, and gave a gift to make amends. But the pain of that slap can't be erased for a long time. Fortunately, the child is fine, otherwise Xia Li will never forgive him for the rest of his life.
Xia Li often recalls a scene that just happened at home. She began to be afraid of Lin Qiang, and always had nightmares late at night, dreaming that he was beating herself and her children like thunder. Although Lin Qiang took care of her in every way during the day, Xia Li was still worried, for fear that one day he would hurt her and the child again.
So, when she was 8 months pregnant, Xia Li decided to divorce. She contacted her lawyer and filed a complaint. Lin Qiang tried his best to keep it, but Xia Li had already made up her mind. "I will take care of the children, but we can't live together anymore. ”
After court mediation, Xia Li finally successfully divorced and moved out of her former love nest. When her mother-in-law heard that Xia Li was going to divorce her son, she was so anxious that she looked for someone to intercede and hoped that they would reconcile. Xia Li said to her mother-in-law: "Auntie, I can't continue to be with him, it's impossible in this life." ”
The mother-in-law cried and nodded, wiped away her tears and said, "I know it's my son who is wrong, and I won't stop you if you leave, but it's not easy to take a child when you're out alone, and if you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me." ”
Mother-in-law has always kept her word. After the divorce, Xia Li returned to her parents' home, and two months later, she gave birth to a daughter, who gave her life a new meaning. In order to give her daughter a better life, she became a piano teacher again, and her financial conditions were very difficult for a while. Although my mother-in-law has never seen them, she will always send subsidies to help her get through the difficulties little by little during the holidays.
Now that the child is 6 years old, Xia Li has made great progress in her career by relying on her own efforts.
Although it was not easy to get out of that pain, she was glad that she had left Lin Qiang in the first place. Otherwise, she and the child may be hurt even more.
Auntie, come, let's have a hot meal together, and then I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up. Auntie, no matter what happens, we will still be a family in the future, and you are alone now, so you might as well stay. Xia Li hugged the old man.
Xia Li's eyes glistened with tears. She knows that a warm home needs to be lit up by everyone with love. Mother-in-law has always loved them in her own way, and now that she is alone, she should also rest assured of her previous grievances and re-accept her, after all, she is the child's grandmother.
