Sunlight poured into the room through the curtains, adding warmth to the quiet afternoon. However, for Lin Yue, who had just given birth, this warmth could not dispel the chill in her heart.
February** Dynamic Incentive Program
In the kitchen, the busy figure of the mother-in-law and the sound of the spatula colliding are still there. Every day, her mother-in-law would prepare three meals for Lin Yue on time, but it was always the same - a bowl of white porridge and a small plate of pickles for breakfast, and stir-fried vegetables and the occasional shredded meat for lunch and dinner. My mother-in-law has always been a thrifty person, and in her eyes, these are enough. But for Lin Yue, who was in urgent need of nutrition to recover his body, these meals were obviously too simple.
Moreover, Lin Yue has always had a doubt. She will give her mother-in-law 10,000 yuan every month for the family, which should be enough for them to eat better and live more comfortably, but why is the family still so poor?
One day, when her mother-in-law brought the familiar white porridge and pickles again, Lin Yue finally couldn't help but ask the doubts in her heart: "Mom, what about the 10,000 yuan I give you every month?" This money should be enough for us to improve our lives, right? Why is it still so simple to eat every day? ”
When the mother-in-law heard this, her face changed slightly, and she responded a little unnaturally: "I used all that money to buy daily necessities and ingredients, you know, now that prices are so high, this money is not spent at all." ”
Lin Yue keenly caught the twinkle in her mother-in-law's eyes and the unnaturalness in her words, and a strong uneasiness surged in her heart. She decided to find out where the money was going.
After some investigation, Lin Yue unexpectedly found that her mother-in-law actually gave the remaining money every month to her brother-in-law's family. It turned out that the little brother-in-law's family had a difficult life, and her mother-in-law had been secretly subsidizing them. This discovery made Lin Yue feel very shocked and angry, and when Lin Yue questioned her mother-in-law, her mother-in-law said confidently: "Your brother-in-law's family is living in difficulty, how can I, as a mother, not help them?" Besides, the money was originally my son's money, and I could spend it as I wanted. ”
Lin Yue was so angry by her mother-in-law's words that she trembled, she felt like an outsider in this family. She said angrily to her mother-in-law: "That money is for your family, and it is used to improve our lives, not for you to use it to subsidize others!" Did you take my feelings into account in doing this? Ever considered that I need nutrition to recover my body? ”
The mother-in-law was frightened by Lin Yue's anger, she didn't expect Lin Yue to have such a big reaction. A sense of guilt and uneasiness also swelled in her heart, but she still said stiffly: "I'm just lending them temporarily, and I'll pay it back to us when their lives are better." ”
However, Lin Yue no longer believed her mother-in-law's words. She decided to talk to her husband Zhao Xuan about this matter and see which side he was on. If her husband can't understand himself and support him, then what else is there for her to be nostalgic for this family?
After Zhao Xuan listened to Lin Yue's words, he was silent for a long time. He knew that his mother's actions were indeed wrong, but on the other hand, he didn't want to upset her. Finally, he sighed and said to Lin Yue: "I know my mother is not doing it right, I will talk to her about it." But can you please understand her position? She's my mom after all, and she's doing it out of kindness. ”
Hearing her husband's words, Lin Yue felt a wave of disappointment and chill, she felt that her husband was not on her side and considered for herself. She said coldly to Zhao Xuan, "I understand her position? So who understands my position? I need nutrition to recover my body now, and this money was supposed to be used to improve our lives! If you can't understand me and support me, then I don't think there's anything to say between us. ”
After saying these words, Lin Yue turned around and left the room, leaving Zhao Xuan alone to ponder, he knew that this matter was indeed something his mother did wrong, but he didn't know how to solve this problem, he felt powerless and confused.
In the following days, the atmosphere at home became more and more depressed and tense, and the relationship between Lin Yue and her mother-in-law also dropped to a freezing point, although Zhao Xuan tried to reconcile but had little effect, he felt that he was about to be crushed by this family conflict.
After the Cold War lasted for a while, Lin Yue completely lost confidence in this marriage. She felt that in this family, she was always an outsider and could not get the respect and care she deserved. And her husband Zhao Xuan's attitude also made her feel disappointed and cold, he seemed to be more willing to be on his mother-in-law's side than to think about himself.
So, Lin Yue decided to file for divorce. When she told Zhao Xuan about this decision, Zhao Xuan was shocked. He didn't expect Lin Yue to make such a choice, and his heart was full of guilt and reluctance. He tried to save the marriage, but Lin Yue had already made up his mind not to look back.
The divorce process was not smooth, and her mother-in-law made a big fuss when she learned the news, she thought that Lin Yue was making trouble unreasonably and did not understand her hard work. But Lin Yue was already determined to leave this home, and no matter how much her mother-in-law made trouble, she couldn't change her decision.
In the end, after some twists and turns, Lin Yue and Zhao Xuan divorced. Lin Yue returned to her parents' home with the child and started a new life.
A few months later, my mother-in-law suddenly came to the door, she was much older and her face was haggard. As soon as she entered the door, she knelt in front of Lin Yue and begged for Lin Yue's forgiveness with tears in her eyes.
It turned out that since Lin Yue left, the family's life has fallen into chaos. Zhao Xuan was unable to bear the pressure of family conflicts, and his work was also affected, and he was even dismissed by the company in the end. And the brother-in-law's family also lost her mother-in-law's subsidy, and life became more difficult. When the mother-in-law saw that all this was caused by her wrong decision, she felt extremely guilty and regretful.
She told Lin Yue that she had realized her mistake and would no longer subsidize her brother-in-law's family in the future, and now she only hoped that Lin Yue could forgive her and return to this family.
However, Lin Yue has completely lost confidence in this family. She didn't want to go back to the oppressive and painful life she used to have. She said coldly to her mother-in-law, "I have forgiven you a long time ago, but I will not return to that home." There is nothing left in that home that is worthy of my nostalgia. ”
Hearing Lin Yue's words, her mother-in-law felt a burst of despair and helplessness. She knew that it was all her own fault, and she couldn't blame anyone else, she silently left Lin Yue's home, and her heart was full of remorse and pain.
