Mr. Li is 64 years old and has been retired for many years. His wife passed away shortly after her retirement. They have two sons, are married and have children. When he first retired, Mr. Li did nothing. He just told his two sons that if you need my help, just ask. The eldest son said no because his mother-in-law could help them take care of the children. The younger son had no one to help, so Mr. Li went to the younger son's house to take care of his two grandchildren. He took both children to primary school because the children's school was very close to home and he no longer needed to pick them up and drop them off. It was not interesting to stay at home alone every day. I want to go back to my hometown and live by myself,
because I have some conflicts with my wife at my son's house and my life is not happy. Since there is nothing to do here, then go back to your own home and talk to your son and daughter-in-law. The son kept a few words, but when he saw that he was determined, he said nothing more and sent him back to his hometown. , I used to do housework, buy groceries, cook, etc. at my son’s house every day. Now that I'm home, alone, suddenly idle, I feel particularly empty.
A friend advised him to find a wife. Tell him, don't get a certificate, just be friends, live together, accompany each other, and take care of each other. This will avoid financial troubles. At our age, we can't ask for too much from our relationships. After hearing this, Mr. Li returned home and began to think about finding a wife. Suddenly, the figure of his former colleague Ms. Liu flashed in his mind.
Ms. Liu, 57 years old, her husband passed away ten years ago. She only has one son who is married and working in another city. The community where the two of them live is not far away, only separated by a road. So, Mr. Li sent an emoticon to Ms. Liu on WeChat. Unexpectedly, Ms. Liu quickly sent him a message back. In this way, they chatted on WeChat every day. Finally one day, Mr. Li invited Liu The lady went to his house for dinner. As soon as Ms. Liu entered the door, she saw a bouquet of bright red roses on the dining table. Ms. Liu was very happy.
knows something good will happen today. During the meal. Mr. Li put a lot of delicious dishes on Ms. Liu's plate and said to Ms. Liu, "We are both at this age. I don't want to beat around the bush anymore. I just say directly, I want to live with you. Now we We are both single, and in this era, there is no need to think too much. Originally, I wanted to get a marriage certificate with you, but after discussing it with the children, they didn’t agree. So, I thought, we are the only two who have a good relationship, so that’s not bad. A piece of paper, if you are willing to live with me, move here tomorrow, I will pay for all our living expenses, and you can keep your own pension, and I will not interfere, do you think that's okay? Ms. Li's pension is 3,000 yuan per month. Mr. Li's pension is 4,500 per month. Hearing what Mr. Li said, Ms. Liu had been worried about this issue. Now Mr. Li volunteered to bear the living expenses of the two of them. She felt that Mr. Li was indeed a reliable person, so she agreed to live with Mr. Li at that time.
Since they lived together, the two of them felt that life had become very interesting. They went shopping together every day. Ms. Liu was responsible for cooking, washing clothes, cleaning, and tidying up the room every day. Mr. Zhou was responsible for living expenses. Once, Mr. Zhou accidentally Jian said that he still had 500,000 yuan in savings. Ms. Liu was surprised to hear this because she basically had no savings. She spent all the little money she had on buying a house for her son's marriage. Therefore, in Ms. Liu's view, it is natural for Mr. Li to bear all the expenses of the two people.
Ms. Liu not only does all the housework at home, she also often makes some of Mr. Li's favorite meals, as well as some snacks and other foods. Sometimes she also learns from others online and prepares various dishes according to the methods taught online. Grow food. Follow the steps taught in the video to make it step by step.
Mr. Li has seen all this and is getting better and better towards Ms. Liu. He often takes her to travel and buys her nice clothes. When Ms. Liu celebrates her birthday, he gives out red envelopes and buys cakes. The two live a very happy life.
But in the fourth year of their partnership, Mr. Li was hospitalized due to illness and had surgery. At that time, Mr. Li wanted to hire a caregiver, but Ms. Liu stopped him. Ms. Liu said that she could take care of him by herself and reassured him. Mr. Li agreed after hearing what Ms. Liu said.
Mr. Li gave his salary card to Ms. Liu and asked him to pay for the hospital treatment and the expenses of the two people. Under Ms. Liu's meticulous care, Mr. Li was discharged from the hospital after only 10 days. That day, Liu The lady's brother happened to be resting at home and did not go to work, so Ms. Liu asked her brother to help take Mr. Li home in a car.
After returning home, Ms. Liu returned Mr. Li’s salary card to him. Mr. Li checked the account details on his mobile phone. He lost his temper and complained that Ms. Liu had spent so much money on him in ten days. Ms. Liu Hearing what Mr. Li said, she felt very aggrieved. Ms. Liu said that all she spent was Mr. Li’s hospitalization expenses in the hospital, the cost of meals, the cost of taking a taxi to and from the hospital and home, and 200 yuan to pick up and drop off her younger brother. The cost of Mr. Li’s return home. The gas price is very high now, so my brother sacrificed his rest time to help, so 200 yuan is not too much.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Li became even more angry after hearing this. He said to Ms. Liu, you really disappoint me. Although we are just partners and have not received a certificate, I have regarded you as my official wife. Since we lived together, I have never let you go out alone. Every time we go shopping on the street, I pay for it. This time when I was hospitalized, I felt completely comfortable handing over my salary card to you. What about you? When I was hospitalized, you were not willing to spend a penny on me. You asked your brother to pick me up after I was discharged, and you also earned pocket money along the way. You are really good.
Listen to what Mr. Li said. Ms. Liu was stunned. His words were unacceptable to Ms. Liu. During the days when Mr. Li was hospitalized, Ms. Liu took care of him. She had to get up and help Mr. Li go to the toilet at night. During these few days in the hospital. Ms. Liu never had a good night's sleep. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, so she told Mr. Li, "In the hospital, I will take care of you day and night. If it weren't for me, you would hire a nurse, which costs at least three to five hundred yuan a day. I I take care of you for free, so why is it still my fault? Mr. Li didn't say anything. After a while, he said, you have to compare yourself with the caregiver. I have nothing more to say.
Then he turned around and entered the room, locking the door behind him. That night, Ms. Liu slept in the guest room. She tossed and turned. Thinking about the four years they had been together, she thought they had a very good and deep relationship. Unexpectedly, Mr. Li thought she had defrauded him of his money. It was really ridiculous. Unexpectedly, an illness revealed his true colors. Ms. Liu was secretly glad that they had not obtained the certificate and had a way out.
The next morning, Ms. Liu told Mr. Li of her decision to separate. Mr. Li remained silent, indicating his acquiescence. Ms. Liu was particularly sad. From the bottom of her heart, she hoped Mr. Li would keep her. She felt that she was too ignorant. Without saying anything, Ms. Liu called the moving driver, packed her things, and returned to her home. Sitting in the car, she looked at the place where she had lived for four years, getting further and further away, and her heart felt Very uncomfortable.
Back to living alone, Ms. Liu is not used to it. Three months later, Ms. Liu heard from her friends that Mr. Li had found another wife and often posted on WeChat to show off his affection. Ms. Liu was very angry. Only then did she understand why many older men still insisted on looking for wives. It turned out that they wanted to spend as little money as possible to find someone who could take care of their daily lives. To put it bluntly, Finding a free nanny, talking about accompanying each other and taking care of each other are all lies. Ms. Liu is very glad that Mr. Li is not her original husband. Otherwise, she might not have the courage to leave him for the sake of her children, so it can be considered a blessing in misfortune.
Ms. Liu feels that she is finally free. She doesn’t have to do housework for anyone or take care of anyone. She can eat whatever she wants and get up at any time in the morning. Her life is so comfortable. Those four years have brought her so much joy. Ms. Liu's happiness and pain are gone forever with the passage of time.
As long as both parties understand each other, tolerate each other, trust each other, and think more about each other, don't just think about taking, but learn to take the initiative to give to each other. After getting along for a long time, the marriage will definitely become happier and happier.
