Zhao Wei is a good-looking man who works as a supervisor in a foreign-funded company and earns a good salary, so he has no problem supporting his family on his own. Chunmei is at home with her two children, so the wind doesn't blow, the rain doesn't fall, and she lives a comfortable life.
The only thing that makes Chunmei feel embarrassed is that her mother-in-law often brings home the old man who dances in the square, and flirts with him in front of her. Chunmei's father-in-law died three years earlier, before she entered the Zhao family! Now it seems that the mother-in-law is trying to make a twilight love, this is the mother-in-law's freedom, Chunmei does not want to care too much, just mentioned once in front of Zhao Wei.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Wei's reaction was too strong, said nothing to allow his mother-in-law to remarry. He felt ashamed, simply ashamed to the family. Chunmei thinks it's good to marry her mother-in-law off, at least she has a clean ear.
On Saturday, Zhao Wei and Chunmei held the child walking in the park, just saw his mother-in-law and a gray-haired old man holding hands to dance on the face, Zhao Wei's face suddenly red to the root of the ear. He took Chunmei's hand and immediately went around, the mother-in-law sharp eyes, shouting at the top of her voice: "Zhao Wei carry the child over, let his grandfather see."
Zhao Wei's face pulled down like a horse's face and stood still, he angrily shot back, "The child's grandfather died a long time ago." Said, turned around and left.
The mother-in-law said awkwardly to the old man: "I guess he is not in a good mood today, go to my house some other day, so you can see the grandchildren." The old man grinned, dancing more vigorously.
Zhao Wei was not in the mood for a walk, and returned home in a rage to put the children on the bed, casually picked up a cigarette and lit it, the smoke lingered in the small space. Chunmei put the two children to sleep and said, "You also give mom some face, the way you just looked I saw all scared."
"Humph! Face? How can she not give me some face? My dad has worked hard all his life to earn money for me to study, but what about her? Dancing is just enough, could it be that she still wants to find me a stepfather to come back, this makes me how to see people in the future."
"Mom in the heart in the end how we do not know, wait for her to come back to ask clearly." Chunmei comforted her husband, she looked up at the clock, her mother-in-law should be back by this time.
The mother-in-law carried two plastic bags in her hand, which were stuffed with fruits and vegetables, she pushed the door in with a smile, and put the things into the kitchen. Then she went into her bedroom and changed into a red dress and came out.
Chunmei looked at her mother-in-law, "Mom, this skirt is festive enough, it looks really good on you."
The mother-in-law hemmed and hawed and laughed, "This is a gift from your Uncle Liu, his son is on a business trip to Guangzhou, and he specially asked his son to bring it back, Chunmei ah! You feel this fabric is just fine." She walked to her daughter-in-law's side, Chunmei touched it, "Well, this material is just fine, mom, you didn't ask how much it cost? We should give the money to others."
"Oops! A piece of clothing is just a piece of clothing, he sent me, your Uncle Liu said, the sword to give heroes, fragrant clothes to send a good person."
"Splat", Zhao Wei threw a book to the ground, interrupting his mother-in-law's words, "I think he is just an old rascal, mom, you do not want to pull and tug with him in the future, this is going to let my colleagues to see, how can I do in the unit."
The mother-in-law said with a tense face and tears in her eyes, "You have hardened your wings and can't use me. Now you think I'm a disgrace to you, why didn't you think I was a disgrace to you when I borrowed money from all over the world to pay for your schooling?"
Zhao Da loudly roared, "Mom, you just straight to the point, you want to marry or find a temporary partner to live with?"
"I want to find an old companion, someone who can talk with me." Granny slammed the door and went inside.
Chunmei made dinner and told her to eat, but she didn't care. This is the way the mother-in-law with them for several days of disagreement. At noon that day, Uncle Liu came to Zhao Wei's house, Chunmei warmly received.
"Your mom didn't go out to dance for a few days, and the guys were thinking about her, so I came to see her on behalf of the guys. Here's a packet of Guangzhou specialties to try."
"Thank you Uncle Liu, have a seat." Chunmei called her mother-in-law out, and when Uncle Liu saw her haggard face, he quickly asked, "Is she sick, I'll take you to the hospital!" Granny waved her hand and said, "It's fine, it's fine."
Zhao Wei stood across from Uncle Liu, "My mom has me as a son to control, it is not the turn of others to meddle in the affairs of others, Uncle Liu, you are also a handful of years old, be self-respectful, don't be poked at the backbone."
Chunmei pinched Zhao Wei's arm, Zhao Wei shook her off. Uncle Liu's face was red for a while and white for a while, at this time the mother-in-law spoke, "Zhao Wei, you're too much, I'll pretend I don't have you as a son." After saying that, the mother-in-law pulled Uncle Liu out of the house.
"I think, should respect mom's freedom of love, you see the oldest mom downstairs, people are also twilight love ah! Besides, mom is only in her fifties, she should have her own life."
Zhao Wei glared at her, "You can't wait for mom to marry out to make room for you!"
"You are unbelievable." Chunmei stopped ignoring him.
The next week was her mother-in-law's birthday, and Chunmei planned to give her a good birthday. This day at noon, she handed over the child to her mother-in-law, she carried a bag to go shopping. But the fact is that the company's business is not a business, and it's not a business, and it's not a business.
She opened the door with her key and saw her bedroom door closed. She was afraid of waking up the child, tiptoeing over to the door and pushing it open, but the child was still asleep. She walked to her mother-in-law's door again, heard a rough gasping sound inside, and the sound of her mother-in-law's petite laughter, Chunmei strange, could it be that her mother-in-law has got some kind of disease? The more she thought about it, the more afraid and curious she was, so she gently pushed the door open a crack.
This look scared her almost shouted out, she immediately covered her mouth, Uncle Liu is sweating on the body of the mother-in-law sports, the mother-in-law closed her eyes to enjoy the satisfaction. Chunmei gently closed the door and tiptoed out of the house, walking down the street before she took a big breath.
Chunmei didn't have the heart to go shopping, she hesitated to tell Zhao Wei, but she couldn't, it's her mother-in-law's privacy, and she should take care of her mother-in-law's face! It would be better to fulfill them!
Her mother-in-law's birthday is fast approaching, and Chunmei has started to prepare the food and drink early in the morning, and has ordered a big cake as a token of her filial piety. The family sat around and ate in silence, with a smile on her mother-in-law's face, and Chunmei thought to herself, "The power of love is really great. Zhao Wei picked up his wine glass and said, "Mom, happy birthday." Granny nodded in relief, she picked up her wine glass and took a sip, turned towards Chun Mei, and said, "Chun Mei, mom thanks you for your hard work."
"Mom, this is what I should do." Chunmei glanced at Zhao Wei, said, "Zhao Wei, we should wish mom happiness and a good life in her later years." Zhao Wei gave a hmmm and continued to eat his food.
Chun Mei turned to her mother-in-law again and said, "Mom, do you want to marry Uncle Liu?" When Zhao Wei heard this, the food in his mouth spewed out, staring wide-eyed at Chun Mei, asking, "You're crazy, aren't you?"
"I'm not crazy, as children, we should think more about the feelings of the elderly, although mom lives with us, but she is not happy. We don't understand her joys and sorrows, her inner world, her needs. Zhao Wei, do you understand?" Chun Mei's words shocked Zhao Wei, his mouth open and unable to say a word.
The mother-in-law lowered her head and wiped her tears. Chunmei's words to her heart, although the son's family is happy, there are two lovely granddaughter, but her heart is empty. People often say that the old to accompany, the old can have a companion to accompany the side, to talk about their own words.
"Chunmei, mom thank you, thank you for understanding mom." The mother-in-law looked at her gratefully, and then turned her gaze on Zhao Wei's face, "Son, mom doesn't shame you, mom also understands your pain."
Zhao Wei sighed a little, "Mom, as long as you are happy, as long as you can be happy, I no longer interfere."
Chunmei saw her mother-in-law's face with a pleased smile, a month later, Chunmei prepared a lot of new clothes for her mother-in-law, as well as living items. She and Zhao Wei discussed the matter and were ready to give her mother-in-law a wedding in style.
When Uncle Liu heard about it, he was ten years younger. He came to his mother-in-law in high spirits, and the two of them went to the square to dance with each other.
Originally, the mother-in-law and Uncle Liu's affairs were finalized, but I did not expect a halfway kill a bit of gold. The son of Uncle Liu came back from the field, he was furious, resolutely disagree with the remarriage of Uncle Liu.
"My old man ah! You are thinking of women want to go crazy, right? You can not be a female you on it! You want to find a wife, you should also find a tender a little, at least I also have a light face, but you have to find a yellow earth buried half of the old woman, you are not intentionally let me lose face?"
"You shut up, this is my business, don't need you to care." Uncle Liu was so angry that he picked up his walking stick and was about to hit him, he jumped out of the door in a numb moment and said with a cheeky smile, "Find me a little mother and I will agree to your marriage, otherwise, you will sleep on the street! This house is my mom left me."
"You give me to roll, you this unfilial son."
Uncle Liu's son hasn't married since the divorce, in fact, no woman wants to marry him. He was born a hangman, a little money on the body to drink, no money on a random site to earn a little pocket money, have the money to drink again, rather than the daughter-in-law drink away. However, he is also glad that there is no child, or he can not afford to raise.
"Pops, I tell you a true story ah, you get married okay, but can not get a marriage license, the house you can only live, the property belongs to me, your retirement paycheck every month to me fifty percent, fair and reasonable, as for the old woman, let her son to pay for the monthly expenses, you as a find an old nanny to warm the nest for you!"
Uncle Liu looked at him sadly, a line of muddy old tears rolled down. The son's words word by word pained his heart, but also completely see his son clearly. It is said that raising children to prevent old age, but in the end who is raising who ah? Not only exploiting the old man's money, but also insulting the dignity of the old man, he angrily stomped his feet, waved up the cane to drive his son out of the house.
Chunmei saw her mother-in-law in the past two days, listless, color is not good, the wrinkles on the face of more and more deep, then asked her mother-in-law: "Mom, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
"Alas! Your Uncle Liu's son did not agree, and made him angry and sick."
"So that's it! Mom you do not worry, I find his son to go."
"Chunmei don't go, that son of his is a scoundrel, don't provoke him. These days I also think clearly, in fact, this wedding or not can be, is not just a piece of paper! As long as I can see Old Liu every day, mom is satisfied."
Chunmei had an idea in mind, she settled her mother-in-law, and then went to Uncle Liu's house. Just step into the door of his house, his son blocked the door, said with a smile, "Aigoo, delivery ah! If you want my old man to marry your mother-in-law, then you will sleep with me, and you will not lose."
"You are shameless, how did Uncle Liu have a son like you." Chunmei rushed to the inner room and shouted, "Uncle Liu are you home?"
Coughing sounds from the inner room, Chunmei directly into the house, only to see Uncle Liu lying on the bed, his face yellow, obviously much thinner than a few days ago.
"Uncle Liu you are sick?"
"I have a cold, it's not a problem. How is your mother-in-law?"
"She is okay! Uncle Liu what are you going to do about it?"
His son glared and said, "I'll handle my father's marriage, you and I, your mother-in-law and my father, kiss on kiss."
Uncle Liu picked up the water cup on the bedside table and smashed it at his son, "Get out of here, get out." Violent coughing makes Uncle Liu can not come up for air, Chunmei hurried to give him a back pounding.
Since learning that Uncle Liu's son did not agree to their marriage, the mother-in-law was sad all day, and did not go out to dance, often shut herself in the house. The time has passed three months, Chunmei and Zhao Wei anxious in the heart but can not do anything. In fact, Zhao Wei also do not want to be involved with the old Liu family, with the uncle Liu's son of the rogue phase also sometimes let him headache. Although this idea is a bit selfish, but it is better than getting into trouble in the future.
Zhao Wei thought of this, the heart more comfortable. Chunmei pushed open the door in a hurry, shivering and staring at him, saying, "That Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu he ...... died."
Zhao Wei surprised open mouth, momentarily speechless. But the mother-in-law's bedroom door was pulled open at this time, she looked at the panicked Chunmei, took a deep breath, "He didn't see me one last time until he died." After that, the mother-in-law collapsed limply on the cold floor.
The husband and wife were in a hurry to help her on the bed, and their hearts were heavy.
