Cousin Ding Lan's marriage looks very glamorous to outsiders. My cousin was the director of a hospital in a certain district before she retired, and her cousin's husband is now the mayor of a certain district. The two have a son and a daughter. Now that her children are married, in the eyes of many people, my cousin is a sure winner in life. But my cousin knew that her so-called happy marriage was just for the sake of her children's face.
Cousin Ding Lan is the daughter of my aunt's family. When I was ten years old, my uncle died of illness. When my cousin was seventeen, my aunt passed away just after she was admitted to the medical school. Relying on financial support from relatives, my cousin barely graduated from medical school and was assigned to a local hospital. In the early years, those who graduated from medical schools were considered to have diplomas in hospitals. My cousin was hard-working and hard-working, and soon became the backbone of the hospital.
After working for two years, my cousin met her husband. She was handsome, smart and capable. My cousin's husband graduated from college and was assigned to the district government. He is handsome and well-educated. He takes good care of his cousin and rarely interferes in housework. In the eyes of all our relatives, my cousin-in-law is a good family man. In those years, the family planning policy was relatively strict. After my cousin gave birth to a daughter, she tried some tricks and had a son. Having a son and a daughter in those years made many people envious. When my cousin was 30 years old, she built two villas in their area. My cousin had already planned to have one for each of her children in the future. At that time, my cousin lived a life that many people envied.
As time goes by, the cousin's husband's position becomes higher and higher, and the cousin also becomes the deputy dean. The couple is a model couple in the eyes of many people. When she mentioned her cousin-in-law, her cousin also looked proud. The two children are also very smart and sensible, and my cousin's life is a happy one. But suddenly one day a phone call broke the peaceful life. My cousin received a call from a strange woman. The woman claimed to be her cousin-in-law's lover and said that she and her cousin-in-law had an illegitimate child. The cousin who received the call was completely confused. The cousin with a strong self-esteem began to quarrel with her cousin-in-law, and cracks appeared in the originally happy life.
The quarrel between my cousin and her cousin-in-law is different from the quarrel between ordinary women. Ever since that woman called, my cousin has stopped saying a word to her cousin-in-law. My cousin-in-law may feel that he is unjust and does all the housework. My cousin didn't say anything when she got home from get off work. She didn't care about the children, let alone the housework. The cousin expressed her anger in silence. The cousin's husband had no choice but to divorce her, but the cousin's attitude was very clear, that is, she would never divorce. My cousin told her relatives that she would never divorce for the sake of her children, and that she would never give up the happiness she had worked so hard for for several years to others. This kind of life lasted for two or three years, and the woman who made the phone call got married to someone else after two or three years of waiting. My cousin and my cousin-in-law are still a loving couple in front of outsiders, but at home they are complete strangers.
Because of the disharmonious relationship between her parents, my cousin’s daughter became depressed. My cousin realized that her behavior would harm her children. In addition, as time went by, her attitude towards this matter also changed. The cousin and her husband reconciled, and both of them focused on their daughter's treatment. After more than a year of treatment, my daughter's disease was cured. The family has returned to its previous peace.
7Both children have graduated from college, and they have found decent jobs. My cousin's husband also became the district mayor, and my cousin became the director of their district hospital. To outsiders, the incident of the cousin-in-law's cheating has long passed, but only the cousin and the cousin-in-law know that they will never go back to the past. My cousin used to be full of happiness, but now my cousin always has a faint layer of sadness on her face. There were rifts between husband and wife. Even if they tried hard to make up for it later, they could never go back to the past.
Now my cousin is retired at home and does very little housework. My cousin-in-law is also trying hard to pay for his past mistakes. In fact, when the woman called, my cousin's heart completely died. As an educated woman, my cousin cannot tolerate the betrayal of her cousin's husband. She has to endure it for the sake of her children. The cousin wants to preserve her family. The betrayal of her cousin's husband has become an eternal pain in the cousin's heart.
