After my husband died, I took good care of my mother-in-law for twenty years. How can I live alone without her?

My name is Du Yue. My husband Mao and I went to college together. My husband was a famous figure in our school at that time, and his grades were particularly good. He often appears on the honor list of our school, and the conditions in his family are very good. I grew up in an orphanage, and I don't know who my real parents are. Many people liked my husband in college, but I don't know why he likes me. Later, he said it was because I was kind and laughed every time.

My husband says there are few girls like me. He said he didn't mind me being an orphan at all. Instead, he thinks I'm more confident and stronger. When I heard Chen Xing's words, I felt very warm. I never thought that such awesome people in school would like me, so I also cherish our relationship. We both have a lot of topics and decided to have a wedding as soon as we graduate.

When I graduated from college, he proposed to me. In fact, I was worried that my husband's parents would object to us being together, but I didn't expect that when I first went to their house, his parents especially liked me. Especially after hearing that I was an orphan, my husband and mother held my hand and said kindly, poor girl, you have suffered a lot. You will be my own daughter in the future, and our family will not treat you badly.

It was also at that time that I felt the warmth of my family that I had never had before. After meeting his parents several times, I promised to marry Chen Xing. After I got married, I also lived with my in-laws. My mother-in-law is very kind to me. If my husband dares to bully me, her mother-in-law will stand on my side and teach him a lesson for me. Every time I eat something delicious, I'm afraid it won't be good. Every time I get pregnant, I do it in different ways. This is nothing at all.

My mother-in-law knows that I am not very good at raising children. She said, Yue Yue, if you set your mind at work, young people should have their own careers. I will take care of the children for you. Anyway, the family has nothing to do with your father. My mother-in-law never asked me to worry about my family, nor did she say anything about me. She really looks like my mother. However, it was not long before my father-in-law died of heart failure. That year, my mother-in-law was in poor health. I know my in-laws have a good relationship.

But two years later, my husband died in a car accident. My mother-in-law didn't come out of her father-in-law's sadness, and then her husband died, which made her unable to bear the blow. From then on, her body collapsed, probably because she was too sad, which led to cerebral hemorrhage. Since then, although her mother-in-law has recovered, she can no longer stand up and live in a wheelchair every day. In order to take care of my mother-in-law, I resigned from the institution, which is ok.

For twenty years, I have taken good care of my mother-in-law and my son is very promising. He was admitted to the university and found a good job. Looking at the day getting better, I thought my mother-in-law could enjoy her son's happiness with us, but her health is getting worse every day. One afternoon, my mother-in-law took my hand and told me weakly that there was a small wooden box under the wardrobe, which was left for me.

Mother-in-law said: I will open this wooden box after I leave. This is my mother's last help. When you are in trouble, you will definitely need it. Even if my mother is away, I hope I can do my best to help you. My mother-in-law wanted to say something else, but she couldn't say it, and soon closed her eyes. After that, I finished my mother-in-law's funeral and my eyes were swollen with tears.

I have never met my parents, and my in-laws are my parents, but they have all left me now. I think of the wooden box my mother-in-law gave me before she died. When I opened it, I saw that there were two stamp albums, so it seemed very old. I remember when my husband came here before, he said the value of the stamp album was quite valuable. I really didn't think that my mother-in-law was thinking about my future life before she left. Thinking of this, I couldn't help covering my mouth and crying. I'm not going to sell it. It will be handed down from generation to generation. As an idea, I am glad that I have met such a good family. I will always be the daughter-in-law of the Mao family and always guard this family for my husband and in-laws.
