Sometimes, we really don't know what we're thinking. When I was a child, I always heard people say, "You don't know how to be blessed in the midst of happiness", and I think that saying is very vulgar and old-fashioned, because I think I will definitely know how to cherish everything in front of me. But, as it turned out, I was wrong. I underestimate the complexity and change of human nature. When I think back to my life two years ago, how happy I was then. There is a complete family and a hardworking and capable husband. Even though he was my family's son-in-law, now that I think about it, he was already very good to our family. However, I ruined the marriage with my own hands. At first, I thought he would come back, but he never came back.
Hou Na, a woman living in the countryside, is now 34 years old. She had just completed four years of marriage. Since her parents had no sons and only three daughters, Hou Na was the eldest. Except for Hou Na, who did not go to college, her two younger sisters went to college, and the second sister was a graduate student. And the second sister got married earlier than Hou Na and married a classmate when she was a graduate student.
The parents realized that the second and third daughters would leave because of their studies and work, so if Hou Na got married, they had to hire a son-in-law. Hou Na once had a boyfriend, and they had a good relationship, but when it came to getting married, Hou Na's family asked the man to be a door-to-door son-in-law, but the boyfriend refused. He would rather not get married than accept a request to come to his door. The marriage finally ended in a breakup, which made Hou Na depressed for a long time.
Soon after, Hou Na found work at a noodle risotto, where foundry workers often came to eat. Among them is a foundry named Li Lei, who is a little special to Hou Na, although he looks honest, but it arouses Hou Na's curiosity. Gradually, Hou Na developed some good feelings for Li Lei, especially after learning that he worked hard to save money to marry his daughter-in-law.
After a period of dating, Li Lei confessed to Hou Na and put forward the idea of marriage. Although Hou Na was a little surprised, she still agreed. However, Hou Na's parents were not satisfied with Li Lei, they thought that Li Lei was not good enough and did not look like a capable person. However, Hou Na still decided to marry Li Lei, hoping that they could live happily together.
However, life after marriage is not as good as Hou Na imagined. Li Lei was treated unfairly at home, and despite his hard work, he did not receive the respect and love he deserved. An accident caused Li Lei to be injured, and he should have received the understanding and care of his family, but he was blamed and ridiculed. This disappointed him and made him lose faith in the marriage.
In the end, Li Lei chose to leave the family. Hou Na and her parents realized that they had lost a good husband and son-in-law, and they regretted their decision. And Hou Na prayed day and night that Li Lei could return to them, but the reality ruthlessly told her that everything was irreparable.
This story teaches us the importance of cherishing the people and things in front of us. Sometimes, we may hurt the most important people around us because we are greedy for momentary gain, but when everything is lost, regret is useless. I hope everyone can learn to cherish the people in front of them, and don't wait until they lose to regret it.
