Examples of brothers turning against each other and parents being eccentric leading to family discord abound. In the TV series "Know No", there is a story about the teacher in the palace, Mother Kong, who came to teach the three sisters to learn the rules. At that time, every family was partial to their fourth daughter Moran. Mother Kong said earnestly: The bigger the family, the more parents want a bowl of water, or brothers and sisters will turn against each other and regret it too late.
Coincidentally, some time ago, after listening to my friend Yang Peng's experience, I felt that family ties were not taken for granted for the first time. Faced with the pressure of his mother, Yang Peng was helpless, but what Yang Peng and his mother didn't expect was that his wife was a master of hiding, and her domineering mother-in-law instantly became obedient.
In many people's eyes, Yang Peng is an orphan, because Yang Peng has been signed by his uncle and aunt since he went to school. But in fact, Yang Peng is not an orphan, and even his biological parents live in the same town with him.
Yang Peng, who was fostered in her aunt's house since childhood, has never seen her parents since she can remember, except that her biological father died of liver cancer at the age of 14, and Yang Peng went to visit her aunt, which has nothing to do with her original home.
From initial foster care to formal adoption by her aunt, Yang Peng lived in a foster home for more than ten years. If my aunt's family didn't take care of themselves and treat them as their own children, Yang Peng could not grow up healthily.
So although Yang Peng knew who his biological parents were, he always regarded his aunt and uncle as his biological parents. Although I once asked why my parents didn't want me, my aunt always talked about him, and I heard through the grapevine that Yang Peng was a boy, and his biological parents were too poor to support two boys, so I gave my aunt Yang Peng, who was weak.
Children who depend on others are always more sensitive than others. I still remember when Yang Peng was a child, her aunt scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Yang Peng, who especially likes scrambled eggs, can't wait to eat eggs. My aunt casually said, "Always eat eggs?" Let the original voracious Yang Peng instantly froze.
Maybe my aunt didn't mean to scold Yang Peng, but in Yang Peng's view at that time, he wanted to live to see other people's faces. From then on, when he met his favorite tomato scrambled eggs, he only dared to put tomatoes in it. Even if she really wants scrambled eggs, Yang Peng would rather swallow saliva raw than talk to her aunt.
Gone are the days when Yang Peng grew up, was admitted to a prestigious school and left his hometown. He became the pride of his neighbors and a role model for all local children. After he was admitted to a prestigious school, his life gradually changed.
Once upon a time, Yang Peng met his parents' relatives on the road, and almost everyone passed by Yang Peng as if they didn't see them. Now, whenever Yang Peng returns to his hometown, relatives who don't know where they come from will come to chat. This change also made Yang Peng deeply understand the truth that "distant relatives are rich in the mountains, and no one asks in the downtown area".
I have heard a saying: "The person who really hurts you the most is often the person closest to you." After graduating from Ph.D., Yang Peng was introduced to his hometown by talents. In the eyes of fellow villagers, he seems to have embarked on his official career and is about to make a fortune.
My mother, who has never felt maternal love since I can remember, jumped out at this time. The strange biological mother began to take the initiative to take care of Yang Peng's daily chores, because Yang Peng lived alone in the talent apartment. His mother went to see him from time to time with local products, accompanied Yang Peng with various excuses, and seriously said to him: "My mother owed you before, and now I want to make it up to you."
This belated maternal love didn't make Yang Peng happy at all. On the contrary, Yang Peng is her most familiar stranger. Except for relative silence, she occasionally pops up a few words, and there is no topic to talk about anymore.
But what really made Yang Peng despair of her mother was her unreasonable attempt to destroy her marriage. Shortly after Yang Peng was admitted to the university, he met a girl from Sichuan who was a classmate of Yang Peng. They began to talk about campus love, survived the breakup season and long-distance love, and finally ended the state of long-distance love last year.
Love that can stand the test of time is truly valuable. Like his girlfriend, Yang Peng comes from an ordinary family, but both of them are willing to work hard for each other. In the sixth year after falling in love, they decided to make a positive result.
When Yang Peng told her uncle and aunt about this decision, she was blessed by her parents. But what Yang Peng didn't expect was that when she knew that her girlfriend came from a very ordinary family, her own mother immediately disagreed.
"It's hard for you to go today. Of course, you need to find someone who can help you. The girl has no money or power at home. What benefits can you get from being with her? "
Mother's words like a cold knife, deeply into Yang Peng's heart. Yang Peng, who thought that she had cultivated some feelings during this period, finally admitted a reality in the face of cruel reality: the woman who gave her life had already become a stranger.
In this contemporary society where the divorce rate is rising, Yang Peng cherishes her six-year marriage very much. Despite her mother's persistent opposition, Yang Peng is still under pressure to make things right with her girlfriend. The married couple is really a match made in heaven in others' eyes.
Of course, Yang Peng thought that such a hard life would make people jealous, but Yang Peng never thought that the first person who wanted to break their happy life was his mother.
After marriage, Yang Peng continued to work conscientiously. His wife just passed the judicial examination, and her career is thriving. The happiness revealed by a small family has made many people envy. But what Yang Peng didn't realize was that trouble was coming to him.
That day, my mother, who had not called for a long time, finally took the initiative to contact Yang Peng. As soon as she answered the phone, Yang Peng heard her mother crying: "Your sister-in-law is wicked. I can't stand an old woman washing and cooking and serving tea and water. If you still recognize me as a mother, please take me there. I have suffered all my life and haven't enjoyed it yet. What can I do on this day? "
As soon as Yang Peng heard this, she knew that her mother was lying. Although her sister-in-law has no education and no one in the neighborhood knows that she is a dutiful son, her mother's reputation for being mean is well known. Yang Peng comforted his mother and went on with his work. But when I got off work in the afternoon, his wife called me, and Yang Pengcai knew that the cheap mother acted first and then went to town.
"You were born when I was pregnant 10! Now that I am living a good life, how dare I forget your parents? " Mother's triumphant face really made Yang Peng angry, but what Yang Peng couldn't stand most was that her mother didn't sleep in the middle of the night and stood outside the Yang Peng couple's door to eavesdrop on their night talk. Whenever I hear a word from my wife, Yang Peng's mother will shout loudly outside the door: "Don't provoke our mother-child relationship, he is a piece of meat that fell from me!"
Although very annoyed, every time I think of Cheng's kindness, Yang Peng can only bite his teeth and put up with his mother's unreasonable practices, but over time, his wife can't stand it.
That day, Yang Peng's mother cried hysterically in the middle of the night because of a small incident. Yang Peng, who couldn't bear it, couldn't help saying, "Can you stop? I grew up because you suffered too little? "
My mother suddenly became more angry when she heard this. The houses in the city are different from those in the countryside, and the shouts in the middle of the night quickly alarmed the sleeping residents around her.
"You are the meat that fell from me, so you have to suffer! You think you're acting like a dog now and you dare to abandon me? I tell you, you can't get rid of me in your life! " The closer you get, the more it hurts.
Yang Peng recalled the loneliness of the past 20 years, and then remembered the day when he finally got better. Seeing that he was going to be killed by his mother, he suddenly shed tears.
"I will apply for transfer tomorrow. You can argue as much as you want ... "Yang Peng's words didn't make her mother feel a little scared. She smiled and said to her daughter-in-law, "My son doesn't care about me. You should care about me! A monk can't run out of the temple! "
The wife couldn't help it any longer, and finally spoke: "legally speaking, even if I am your daughter-in-law, I have no obligation to support you, only to help you and me;" Secondly, Yang Peng was adopted by you since childhood, so he is not your child. He has no obligation to support a mother who has never given a maternal love all day. Even if it breaks the sky, it is so reasonable! "
Yang Peng's mother, who had always been arrogant, suddenly stopped. She asked a little strangely, "Does the daughter-in-law have no obligation to support?"
"If you don't understand the law, read more, and don't talk about things by age." Yang Peng's wife's words resounded in the ears of this cheap mother-in-law: "I love Yang Peng, so I will love my house, my land and be filial to his parents, but this does not mean that my husband's parents are equal to mine. My parents gave birth to me for more than 20 years, and that's the person I have to bear the obligation to support. Besides, no one deserves support. "
The wife is a quasi-lawyer and speaks with her own light. The mean mother-in-law who was swearing originally went back to her room, and went back to her hometown the next day without saying a word.
The life of Mr. and Mrs. Yang Peng gradually returned to peace. Once, my wife asked half jokingly, "Will you be angry when I say that my parents are the parents who have to bear the obligation to support me?"
Yang Peng thought for a moment and said, "No, I think you speak very well. Everyone only needs to be responsible for those he loves and those who love himself. No one else matters. "
