My name is Lin Yue, and I have been married to my husband Li Hao for more than three years. We all work hard in big cities, and although our lives are not rich, we are still passable. Li Hao is a filial son, and he will transfer some living expenses to his mother-in-law in the countryside every month. This year's Chinese New Year, because we were busy with work, we decided not to go back to our hometown, but I thought about the New Year, I had to express it anyway, so I used Li Hao's mobile phone to transfer 5,000 yuan to my mother-in-law, as a little of our heart.
After transferring the money, I sent a message to my mother-in-law: "Mom, Happy New Year!" This is a little bit of heart from Li Hao and me, you can buy something delicious and have a good New Year. "Not long after the message was sent, my mother-in-law came back.
Yueyue, aren't you coming back for the New Year this year? The mother-in-law's voice came through the earpiece, a little hoarse, but also kind.
Yes, Mom, I'm too busy with work this year to really go back. Take care of your health, and we will definitely go back to see you after the New Year. I explained.
Hey, work is important, Mom understands. But you don't have to transfer money to me, and I can't spend much money in the country. The mother-in-law said.
Mom, just take it, this is a little bit of my heart with Li Hao. I insisted.
I received the heart, but you really don't have to give the money. Your brother needs money to buy a house now, so don't fool me with the 5,000 yuan. The mother-in-law's tone suddenly became a little serious.
As soon as I heard this, I was stunned, what is "fooling"? How did we become fooled when we transferred money to our mother-in-law? And the eldest brother mentioned by my mother-in-law, I was even more confused. I have been married to Li Hao for so many years, and I have never heard that he has an older brother.
Mom, what do you mean? Li Hao: Does he still have a brother? How come I've never heard of it? I asked, confused.
Oh, look at my quick mouth, I shouldn't have told you about this. But since you asked, I'll tell you. Your eldest brother is Li Hao's own brother, who cut off contact with his family because of some misunderstandings in the early years and has never returned. Now he wants to buy a house, and I'm thinking about how to help him get some money. The mother-in-law explained.
It dawned on me that Li Hao still had a long-lost brother. But Li Haoke has never mentioned this to me, what does he think in his heart?
Mom, does Li Hao know about this? I asked tentatively.
He didn't know, and I wasn't going to tell him. His brother was too young to remember these things when he left. Now that the two brothers have no contact, I don't think there's any need to bring up these old things. The mother-in-law said.
I was silent for a moment, but my heart was turned upside down. Li Hao didn't know about this, so if I told him, what would he think? Do you think I'm doing something behind his back? But this matter is related to his own brother, he should always have the right to know.
Mom, I think you should still talk to Li Hao about this. After all, his brother was his own brother, and he should have known about it. And maybe he can help. I suggested.
Hey, Yueyue, your mother has received it. But don't worry about it, I'll take care of it. You two just have to live a good life. After the mother-in-law finished speaking, she hung up**.
I was stunned for a long time with my mobile phone, do you want to tell Li Hao about this? Tell him what he'll think? Will you blame me for being nosy? But if I don't tell him, I don't feel sure.
After thinking about it for a long time, I still decided to confess this matter to Li Hao. After all, husband and wife should be honest with each other, and this matter is also related to his own brother.
After Li Hao came home in the evening, I told him what my mother-in-law had said. After listening to this, he was silent for a long, long time without speaking.
Li Hao, what do you think? Would you like to contact your brother? I asked cautiously.
I ......I do not know. Li Hao's voice trembled a little, "I suddenly have an extra brother coming out, and I can't accept it." And my mother said that the relationship was cut off because of a misunderstanding, so will it disturb him if I contact him rashly now? ”
I looked at Li Hao's tangled appearance, and I felt very uncomfortable. This thing is really sudden, and everyone has to digest it. But where is there any obstacle between brothers that can't be overcome?
Li Hao, don't think too much. Where is the knot between brothers that cannot be untied? Your brother needs help now, let's help if we can. Besides, you don't want to never know that you have a brother for the rest of your life, do you? I persuaded.
Li Hao listened to my words, was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "You're right, Yueyue." I'm the one who got the horns. I'll call my mom tomorrow and ask my brother about it. ”
The next day, Li Hao called her mother-in-law to ask about her brother's situation. It turned out that my brother had been working hard in other places since he ran away from home because of some misunderstandings, and now he finally has some savings and wants to buy a house and settle down. After my mother-in-law found out, she wanted to help raise some money, but she was afraid that Li Hao would be unhappy if she found out, so she kept it from us.
After knowing what happened, Li Hao decided to contact his brother to see if he could help. After all, blood is thicker than water, where is there any obstacle between brothers that can't be overcome?
After some twists and turns, Li Hao finally contacted his brother. The two brothers chatted for a long, long time in **, and talked about so many years of misunderstandings and estrangement. In the end, Li Hao decided to lend his brother a sum of money to help him buy a house, which can be regarded as a little bit of his heart as a younger brother.
After this incident, my relationship with Li Hao became deeper. We all feel that relatives should support each other and help each other. And through this, I also saw Li Hao's sense of responsibility and responsibility, and I felt that I didn't marry the wrong person.
As for her mother-in-law, she was so happy to see her two sons release their previous suspicions. She also accepted the 5,000 yuan we gave her during the Chinese New Year, saying that she wanted to save it for us, and she would give it to her children when we had children in the future.
Looking at the happy appearance of the family, I think this is happiness. Although there will always be some twists and turns and ups and downs in life, as long as family members understand and support each other, there is nothing that cannot be overcome.
After the Chinese New Year, Li Hao's life and I gradually returned to normal. I go out early and return late every day, and I am busy running around for life. But whenever we think of our mother-in-law who is far away in the countryside and the eldest brother we have just contacted, we always feel warm in our hearts, and there is an indescribable sense of steadfastness.
The eldest brother's purchase of a house went smoothly, and the money that Li Hao lent him also helped him a lot. Although the two brothers are thousands of miles apart, the contact between ** and WeChat has never been interrupted. They talk about interesting stories from their childhood, and talk about their current work and life, as if they want to make up for all the time they have lost over the years.
My mother-in-law also often calls us, asks for warmth, and cares about our lives. She said that her biggest wish now is for us to have a meal together as a family. Whenever I heard my mother-in-law say this, Li Hao and I felt sour in our hearts, feeling that we owed too much to the old man.
In the blink of an eye, it was summer, and the eldest brother's house was also renovated. He specially sent us **, saying that it was installed according to my mother-in-law's preferences, and left us a room so that we could go back to live when we were free. Looking at the spacious and bright new house on the **, Li Hao and I are happy for our eldest brother.
That night, Li Hao suddenly said to me: "Yueyue, I want to take my mother to my eldest brother to see the new house." I was stunned for a moment, and then I reacted: "Okay, this is a good thing!" Let's go back and see Mom by the way. ”
The next day we told my mother-in-law about it, and she was as happy as a child and said yes. So we started packing our bags and getting ready to go.
Along the way, my mother-in-law was very excited, told us about her past, and said that she would make us something to eat. Seeing her happy appearance, Li Hao and I were also warm in our hearts.
After arriving at the eldest brother's house, the mother-in-law was even more happy. She touched here and there to see, and praised her eldest brother for his ability to do so. The eldest brother also smiled and said that his mother-in-law taught her well. Looking at the affectionate appearance of the mother and son, Li Hao and I couldn't help laughing.
In the evening, we sat around as a family to eat and chat, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. My mother-in-law vigorously gave me and Li Hao vegetables and asked us to eat more. The eldest brother also raised a glass and said thank you for taking care of your mother-in-law for so many years, and he will be our brother in the future.
Listening to my eldest brother's words, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart. I think when I first knew that there was a big brother, I was quite worried, afraid that Li Hao would not be able to accept it, and that the family relationship would be complicated. But now it seems that my worries are completely unfounded. The saying that blood is thicker than water is not wrong at all, where is there any obstacle that cannot be overcome between relatives?
After staying at my brother's house for a few days, we were ready to go back. Before leaving, my mother-in-law took my hand and told me to take good care of myself and live a good life with Li Hao. I smiled and promised her that she would.
On the way home, I kept thinking about what had happened in the past few days. From the initial anxiety to the current happiness, our family has finally come to an end. Although there will always be some twists and turns and ups and downs in life, as long as family members understand and support each other, there is nothing that cannot be overcome.
The days passed like this, and in the blink of an eye it was autumn. On this day, I suddenly received a ** from my eldest brother, saying that he was getting married, and let's go back to drink the wedding wine. Li Hao and I were overjoyed when we heard it, this is a double happiness!
We took leave in advance and went back to our hometown to help with Zhang Luo's wedding. The mother-in-law is even more busy, but her face is always filled with a happy smile. She said that her biggest wish in life is to see her two sons start a family, and now she has finally achieved her wish.
Everything went smoothly and lively. The eldest brother and the bride were on stage, receiving the blessings of relatives and friends, and Li Hao and I watched below, and we were happy for them. The mother-in-law smiled even more, and she said that her life was worth it.
After the night in the cave room, Li Hao and I went back to the room to rest. Lying on the bed, I suddenly said to Li Hao with emotion: "Husband, don't you think we are very happy now?" Li Hao smiled and took me into his arms and said, "Yes, Yueyue, we are indeed very happy now." With my mother and brother, and a good wife like you, I feel like the happiest person in the world. ”
Listening to Li Hao's words, I also felt warm in my heart that I didn't marry the wrong person. Although there will always be some twists and turns and ups and downs in life, as long as family members understand and support each other, there is nothing that cannot be overcome. I believe that our future will be even brighter!
After my eldest brother's wedding, our family's life became more harmonious and happy. The eldest brother and sister-in-law settled in the new house and lived a sweet little life. They often invited us and my mother-in-law to come over, and the family sat around to eat and chat.
The mother-in-law has also become more cheerful and talkative, she often shares her happy life with her neighbors, saying that her son and daughter-in-law are filial, and there is an eldest grandson (the eldest brother's son) Cheng Huan's knees, and she has not lived in vain in her life. Seeing my mother-in-law's happy appearance, Li Hao and I were also sincerely happy.
In the blink of an eye, it was winter, and Li Hao and I also ushered in our fifth wedding anniversary. We went to a restaurant to celebrate that night, and we were all very emotional when we recalled the bits and pieces of the years. From acquaintance and love, to marriage and childbirth, to the happy life now, we have experienced too much, but fortunately, all the efforts are worth it.
On the way home after eating, I suddenly said to Li Hao: "Husband, don't you think happiness is actually very simple?" Just like now, when a family is safe, healthy, and healthy, it is the greatest happiness. Li Hao smiled and nodded in agreement, then held my hand tightly and said, "Yes, Yueyue happiness is actually very simple. As long as our family is always together, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we can face them bravely, that is the greatest happiness. ”
Listening to Li Hao's words, my heart warmed and I strengthened my belief. Yes, happiness is actually very simple, as long as we feel with our hearts and cherish every moment of good time, then happiness will always be by our side and never leave.
