If you have a daughter at home, should you recruit a son-in-law?

May 15, 2020? Sunny turns to cloudy

When my daughter was less than ten years old, I once joked that I only have one daughter like this and I would be reluctant to part with her after she gets married. I will recruit a son-in-law in the future!

I said it casually, and then forgot about it. Unexpectedly, my mother-in-law remembered that one day when there was no one else at home, my mother-in-law said to me with a serious face, Ling, let me tell you, when your daughter gets older, she has to get married. You must not recruit a son-in-law, otherwise you will suffer. of!

I was surprised. I said I was just joking. How old is my daughter? Mom, why are you making such a fuss?

Then my mother-in-law told me a story about a son-in-law who came to my house, which made me sigh.

1. The protagonist of the story is Mrs. Wu. She was a very powerful character when she was young. The villagers gave her a nickname, Yang Laolingpo. Mrs. Wu wanted to be strong all her life, but she only gave birth to two daughters. In that era of patriarchal patriarchy, having no sons made the strong Mrs. Wu feel like she was a dwarf.

After her eldest daughter got married, Mrs. Wu made up her mind to keep her younger daughter Yingzi by her side and find a son-in-law for her. It was agreed in three chapters before the marriage that the first son born after the marriage must be named Wu to continue the Wu family's legacy.

The son-in-law who came to the door was called Guo Zi. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, handsome and upright, and he was a match made in heaven with the handsome Yingzi. After getting married, the young couple were very affectionate, and Yingzi's belly was also very promising. They gave birth to two big fat boys one after another. They were very cute with tiger heads and tiger heads, which made Mrs. Wu happy and often woke up from her dreams with a smile.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. In the fifth year of marriage, Guo Zi died suddenly just after Yingzi gave birth to her little daughter. The death of the pillar of support devastated the family, and Yingzi fainted from crying several times.

2. In the countryside, the life of orphans and widowed mothers without strong labor was extremely difficult. Later, with the help of kind-hearted people, another man walked into Yingzi's house. This man's name was Lengzi. Not bad, and still diligent, but a bit stubborn.

At that time, people were working in the production team to earn work points. In an era when material life was scarce, spiritual life was also very poor. Many people liked to tell dirty jokes for entertainment. Those who have good intentions often ask the fool about their marriage. The fool is arrogant, and as soon as others prompt him, he will tell the private affairs between the husband and wife, causing everyone to burst into laughter

These things The words gradually reached the ears of Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu was such a strong person. She could not hold a grain of sand out of her eyes. If such a thing happened to others, maybe they would just forget about it. After all, a woman with a With three children, it is not easy to find a suitable man. But Mrs. Wu didn't think so. The idiot's unrestrained words were a great shame and humiliation to her. Mrs. Wu hated her son-in-law.

In the end, the visiting son-in-law was kicked out by Mrs. Wu. During this period, outsiders have no way of knowing what kind of struggles occurred between Mrs. Wu and her daughter. However, from that time on, the neighbors discovered that the relationship between Mrs. Wu and Yingzi had changed, becoming as cold as ice and alien to each other.

3. Decades have passed, and Yingzi has transformed from a young and handsome widow into a mature lady, but Mrs. Wu is still as skinny and powerful as ever. The two women lived in the same house, ate at the same table, but never spoke to each other.

The three children have grown up thanks to Mrs. Wu’s hard work. The three brothers and sisters inherited the excellent genes of their parents. The boy is handsome and the girl is beautiful. They have all married and started businesses. They have bought houses in the city and occasionally return to the countryside to visit their grandma and mother.

After her grandchildren moved to the city, Mrs. Wu often wandered around an old building where they lived, wiping the floating dust on the stair railings with a rag. Mrs. Wu and Yingzi spent their entire lives building this building to build a house for their two grandsons to marry and start a family. Now, the grandchildren have moved away, heading for a better life. The old building was empty, and Mrs. Wu's heart was also empty.

Old Mrs. Wu often felt aggrieved. She had worked hard all her life for the sake of the family, but Yingzi did not understand her and regarded her as an enemy. He would not call her mother or talk to her.

Mrs. Wu felt that she was wronged, even more wronged than Dou E. Everything she does is for her daughter's benefit! However, her daughter did not appreciate her favor.

Alas! Mrs. Wu let out a long sigh, what a white-eyed wolf!

Yingzi is almost 60. In order to avoid the embarrassment of being with her mother every day, Yingzi leaves early and comes home late every day, working part-time in a private company. Mrs. Wu prepared meals every day and waited for Yingzi to come back. After finishing her meal, Yingzi hurriedly packed away the dishes and went to work in the factory.

Old Mrs. Wu has become really old and talkative. Her daughter does not call her mother, but behind her back she calls her ancestor. Mrs. Wu often complained to her neighbors: My ancestor ate ready-made food all day long, and came home with a straight face, as if I owed her a previous life. Alas, when will I be able to repay this debt from my previous life...

Later, Mrs. Wu fell and fractured her bones. During the hospitalization, Yingzi went to take care of her, but Mrs. Wu did not want Yingzi to take care of her. , desperately pushed Yingzi away and asked her eldest daughter to come over to accompany her. Yingzi cried in grievance.

Later, Mrs. Wu fell ill in bed and could not take care of herself. Her mind was sometimes clear and sometimes confused. However, she still remembered her little daughter’s hatred and refused to cooperate with Yingzi. She deliberately peed on the bedding. . Neighbors often saw Yingzi crying while washing her mother's clothes.

As the saying goes, there is no filial son at the bedside of a long-term illness. As time goes by, the eldest daughter no longer comes. It is said that the mother favors the younger daughter. Since she has given all the family property to the younger daughter, she has no responsibility to serve her mother. . For this reason, the two sisters had a fierce quarrel.

On a cold winter day, Mrs. Wu finally left. Yingzi cried heartbreakingly, shouting in front of the soul: Mom——Mom——

Unfortunately, Mrs. Wu can no longer hear her.
