The 69-year-old aunt had a deposit of 2 million, and her leg was broken in a shower and wrestling, and her children were unwilling to take care of it, and the truth was too embarrassing.
I'm Li Wei, 70 years old, and I was a university professor before I retired, majoring in history. My wife Wang Fang and I have been married for more than 40 years, we have a son and a daughter, both of whom have started a family, the son is a lawyer, and the daughter is a doctor.
My wife is my first love, we met in college, she is my classmate, but also my teaching assistant, we have experienced the Cultural Revolution, reform and opening up and other historical changes together, witnessed the development and progress of the country together, our feelings are deep, is the envy of the model couple. Our marriage is happy, there are no contradictions and quarrels, we support each other, understand each other, respect each other, our life is peaceful, there are no twists and turns and risks, our love is eternal, without any wavering and betrayal.
Two years ago, my wife died of cancer, and I was so grief-stricken that I lost the joy of life and just ate and slept mechanically every day, without any hobbies. I felt like a walking corpse, without a soul, without a purpose, without hope. I miss my wife, I miss her smile, I miss her gentleness, I miss her company, I miss everything about her. I often dream of her, I dream that we are still together, I dream that we are still so happy, but every time I wake up, I find myself alone in bed, tears moistening the pillow, and my heart is like a knife.
Although my children cared about me, they also had their own careers and families, and I felt lonely and helpless, and longed for someone to give me some warmth and comfort. I started going for walks in the park, hoping to meet some old friends, or meet some new ones, or just listen to the birds, see the smiles of the flowers, and feel the beauty of nature.
By chance, I met Xiaohong in the park, a 50-year-old widow with a son who was kicked out of the house by her son because of the discord between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and had to live on odd jobs. She was very beautiful and had a good figure, and she was very enthusiastic about me, and took the initiative to talk to her, saying that she was a fan of mine, that she liked the books I had written before, and that I looked young, like a 60-year-old person. I was surprised and very happy to hear it, I didn't expect that there would still be people who remembered me, some people who appreciated me, some people who praised me, and I felt that I had regained some confidence and dignity.
I was touched by her praise and concern, and felt that she was a poor and kind woman, so we often met in the park, chatted, and walked, and I felt that my mood became much lighter. She told me her story, her husband was a construction worker who fell to his death on a construction site ten years ago, her son was a salesman who married a rich woman, but that woman was arrogant, didn't like her, always quarreled with her, and finally kicked her out of the house, she had no relatives and friends, and she had to live on her own. I was very sympathetic and angry when I heard it, I felt that her son was too unfilial, her daughter-in-law was too unreasonable, her fate was too unfair, I wanted to help her, I wanted to protect her, I wanted to comfort her.
Xiaohong gradually occupied my heart, she always made me some delicious food, and also helped me clean the room and wash clothes, just like a virtuous wife, I also began to have a love for her men and women, and wanted to give her a happy home. I felt that she was a gift from God, a companion that my wife arranged for me in heaven, the other half of my life, and I decided to marry her, make her my wife, and let me be her husband.
I proposed the idea of marrying Xiaohong to my children, they were very opposed at first, thinking that I was old and confused, and was deceived by Xiaohong, they said that Xiaohong was just a **, a vixen, a gold worshipper, she just wanted my money, not really loved me, they advised me to think twice, don't do stupid things, don't regret it. But I insisted on my choice, saying that Xiaohong and I really love each other, she is not that kind of person, she is a good woman, a woman worthy of my love, I said that I have made a decision and will not change, they can only reluctantly agree in the end, but their attitude is very cold, very unhappy, I feel very sad, and very helpless, I can only hope that they can understand me, accept me, and bless me.
Xiaohong and I got a marriage certificate, I bought her a new house, and I bought her a new car, she was very happy, saying that I was her savior, she would always love me, we were like a newlywed Yan'er, very sweet. Our wedding was very simple, only a few close friends attended, the children did not come, they said they were very busy, there was no time, in fact, I knew that they were reluctant to come, they did not approve of our marriage, they did not accept Xiaohong, I felt very sad and disappointed, I wonder if they don't love me anymore, don't care about me anymore, don't respect me anymore. But Xiaohong comforted me, saying that they were just a temporary emotion, and it would be fine after a while, and she said that as long as we love each other, we don't have to care about other people's opinions, and she said that we are lucky.
Fu, she said that our future will be better, I was touched by her words, I believe in her, I believe in our love.
Xiaohong said that she wanted to go back to her hometown to see, her parents and siblings missed her very much, and said that she would give them some money to help them improve their lives, and I felt that she was very filial, so I agreed to her request and went back to her hometown with her. I want to meet her family, I want to mingle with them, I want them to know how much I love Xiaohong, how much I love Xiaohong, how much I respect Xiaohong, I want them to accept me, welcome me, and bless me.
When I arrived at her hometown, I found out that her family was a poor mountain village, and her parents and siblings lived in a dilapidated adobe house. It turned out that Xiaohong's family knew that I was a rich old man, and they wanted to make a fortune from me, they not only wanted me to buy them a house, but also asked me to hold a grand wedding for them, and asked me to send them red envelopes.
Xiaohong's family began to make trouble, saying that I was a miser and refused to give them money, and that Xiaohong was a vixen, seduced me, and wanted to take all my money for themselves, and they also threatened me, saying that if I didn't agree to their request, they would tell me about Xiaohong and **, and let me be discredited. I was very angry and disappointed when I heard this, I turned my head to look at Xiaohong, and wanted to ask her if she really loved me, or was it just for the money, but she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at me, my heart sank, I understood, she was just using me, she didn't love me at all, I was deceived by her, what should I do?
I decided to leave this place, leave this woman, leave this nightmare, I packed my bags and got ready to get in the car, but Xiaohong's family wouldn't let me go, they said that since I married Xiaohong, I had to be responsible for her and couldn't abandon her, they said that if I dared to leave, they would sue me, they would put me in jail, they would bankrupt my family, they said I owed them, they wanted to get it back, they said I was an old immortal, they wanted me to die without a place to bury. They surrounded me, pushed me, scolded me, beat me, I was powerless to resist, I could only beg them to let me go, let Xiaohong go, let us go.
At this moment, I saw a car coming, my son and daughter got out of the car, they saw that I was being bullied, they were very angry and anxious, they rushed over, pulled me out of the crowd, protected me, they said to Xiaohong's family, they are my own children, they will not let them bully me, they said they have called the police, the police will come soon, they said they will use legal means to protect me and punish them, they say they are my family, they are my support, They are my strength, they say they love me, they care about me, they respect me, they say they forgive me, they understand me, they accept me, they say they want me to be happy, healthy, happy, they say they will never leave me, they will never betray me, they will never hurt me.
I was very touched and ashamed to hear it, I hugged them and cried, I said I was sorry for them, I said I was wrong, I said I loved them, I said I thanked them, I said I needed them, I said I wanted to go home, I said I wanted to be with them, I said I wanted to forget everything, I said I wanted to start over. They also cried, they said it didn't matter, they said everything was going to be okay, they said we were family, they said we would always be together, they said we would start all over again. They took me in the car and drove away, leaving Xiaohong and her family behind, they were still cursing, still threatening, still demanding, but I don't care anymore, I don't look at them anymore, I don't think about them anymore, I only look at my children, I only think about my home, I only feel warmth, I only feel happiness.
