Han Xue The cold came very hard this time. I felt dizzy and uncomfortable in the afternoon of the first day, and my fever reached 38 degrees early the next morning.
She forced her sore body to get up, even her steps were a little shaky.
Turn on the gas stove, add water to boil, put two eggs on it, take out a pack of noodles from the vegetable cupboard and put it into the boiling water. When it is almost cooked, take out two bowls and separate the noodles.
In the east room, her 87-year-old mother-in-law lives, and in the south room, her 82-year-old mother lies.
The two old men were sitting with two baby birds waiting to be fed, staring longingly at the door.
Han Xue first brought the noodles to her mother, helped the old man up and washed her hands and face, and told her that the noodles were still hot and she would eat them slowly after they cooled down:
"Girl, my changing pad hasn't been changed yet!"
Han Xue patted her dizzy head. She was so confused that she had forgotten about it.
She had no choice but to coax her mother: "Mom, let's eat the food first and then change it. Otherwise, it won't taste good if you don't eat it with the weight..."
The mother nodded obediently, and then carefully looked at her daughter's face:
"My daughter, are you not feeling well? Let me see. Her face was red, as if she had a fever. "Mom, I'm fine, I just have a cold. I'll be fine with some medicine later. Eat it quickly..."
Han Xue handed the chopsticks to her mother's hand, and before she could turn around, her mother-in-law yelled from the east room:
"You bad woman, you haven't brought me the food, do you want to starve me to death!
Day by day, you will know that you are tired of your mother-in-law, and you have to worry about me as your mother-in-law.
Oh my god, why don't you open your eyes? She thinks I have lived too long, don't wait. You saw me, why didn't you tell me to leave..."
Han Xue smiled bitterly: "Mom, you eat slowly, sit down for a while before lying down after eating, I will go over and take a look."
Then he went to the east room. Her mother-in-law stopped shouting and she cleaned it up. The noodles were lukewarm and ready to eat.
She picked up the chopsticks and fed her mother-in-law one bite at a time. After eating a few mouthfuls, she was slapped on the face by her mother-in-law:
"You bad woman, you want to burn me to death!"
The slap was so strong that stars appeared in front of Han Xue's eyes, and she almost fainted, and the bowl fell to the ground.
"Mom, what are you causing trouble?"
Han Xue put her hand on her forehead, which seemed to be even hotter. She looked at the angry mother-in-law in front of her and shed tears.
At that moment, she suddenly had the idea to just fall down like this and don't wake up again. She was really too tired...
Han Xue is 58 years old. She is the eldest daughter of her mother's family and the eldest daughter-in-law of her husband's family.
There were three sisters in her natal family. She married into the same village. The second one got divorced when she was 40 because of the cheating of the man. She also suffered from heart palpitations . They later remarried, but within two years she died suddenly of myocardial infarction.
The death of the second child can be said to be a fatal blow to the parents. The father complained all day long about the misery of his daughter's life and regarded drinking as a good way to relieve his worries. He also passed away from liver cancer the next year.
only leaves his 70-year-old wife to live alone. The death of his daughter and wife made the old man shed tears all day long, and his body rapidly aged.
The third child is married far away, with two children, one in high school and one in elementary school. There is also a mother-in-law who is paralyzed in bed at home, so she has too much time to take care of herself.
Han Xue looked at her old mother's decadent appearance and couldn't bear to let her live alone in the old house, so she discussed with her husband Xu Jie and took the old woman into her home.
The old man is diligent. Although he can't do the work in the fields, he keeps everything at home and outside neatly, which also helps Han Xue a lot.
But no one expected that at the age of 73, the old man would suffer from cerebral infarction without warning.
's annual physical examination has never failed. blood pressure is normal, blood lipids are normal, but he is paralyzed in bed.
Han Xue thought hard and couldn't figure out what was causing this.
The old man cried and said to his daughter: "If it is not cured, it will become a burden whether it is cured or not. Let me fend for myself.""
Xu Jie was unwilling to give up. His mother-in-law was a good person. At first, his mother did not want to take care of his two children, so they both grew up in front of his grandma.
Now the old man is in trouble, and when it comes time to need someone to take care of him, how can he just stand back and do nothing? What is the difference between that and a beast?
So he ignored the old man's objection and sent the old man to the hospital, but in the end he still did not get rid of the outcome of hemiplegia.
He came out of the hospital , he comforted the old man and said: "Mom, things have come to this, you have to think about it yourself, don't be afraid, as long as you live for one day, Han Xue and I will serve you for one day..."
This service lasted for nearly ten years...
Xu Jie's family has many brothers and sisters, five in total, three girls and two boys.
The three daughters were married to neighboring villages. The parents-in-law and mother-in-law lived together with the second child, Xu Tao, until they moved to a community in the village. They applied for a senior housing, and the elderly couple lived in the senior housing.
The five brothers and sisters take turns taking care of the daily food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the life is quite comfortable.
Three years ago, my 83-year-old father-in-law passed away due to illness. My mother-in-law was diagnosed with cervical cancer and had her uterus surgically removed.
The operation not only changed the old man's body, but also changed her temperament. The old man who used to be docile and kind turned into an unreasonable madman.
She is willing to live alone in a senior housing, crying and wanting to live with her sons.
is kind to his five children, but hits and scolds his two daughters-in-law.
The daughter-in-law of Xu Tao, the second oldest child, is a woman with a violent temper. She bluntly said that she cannot bear her mother-in-law's anger. If a man has to take her mother-in-law to live with her, she would rather divorce her than serve her.
You can't let your brother's family be ruined. After all, he still has two children, so Xu Jie had to negotiate with Han Xue to take the old man to his home.
Han Xue has no intention You see, because Xu Jie is very kind to his mother, and he can't turn his mother-in-law away even if he expresses his feelings for her.
In this way, the mother-in-law also moved into Han Xue's house. Originally, the mother lived in the east room, but after the mother-in-law came, it was the east that came first. She was the hostess of the family, and she had to live in this house.
Mother didn't want Han Xue to be embarrassed, so she proposed to live in the south room: "The left room is just a room, it doesn't matter where you live. If your mother-in-law wants to live in it, let's let her go and don't make her angry..."
Mother's generosity did not bring her mother-in-law good looks. She always fought unreasonably for three points and looked down on Han Xue and her mother all day long. For the sake of family harmony, mother always advised Han Xue to put up with it for the sake of Xu Jie.
It may be that several aunts also knew that their mother had a bad temper. They always came to visit her every three days. In front of her daughter, her mother-in-law seemed to have a different face, and Han Xue was able to take some time to breathe.
My son is not married yet. Once he gets married, he will buy a car, a house, and a wedding. In addition, we have two elderly people to support, so we need money everywhere.
Counting on the income from the land, he might not be able to afford a toilet in the city in three lifetimes. Xu Jie had no choice but to abandon his family and work and go out to work, leaving his home and his old man to Han Xue.
In Han Xue's words, in the past few years, she has been reluctant to eat, drink, and not dare to get sick. She was afraid that if she fell, the family would collapse...
Who knew that the problem would be so serious this time? It was so serious that she didn't want to hold on any longer. This thought felt scary, and at the same time it also brought with it a hint of disappointment for my mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law's illness was not serious enough that she could not eat. It could be seen from the slap just now, which almost knocked Han Xue unconscious.
But every day she would force Han Xue to feed her. Han Xue knew that her mother-in-law was just deliberately making things difficult. But she couldn't figure it out. In the eyes of her mother-in-law, was her daughter-in-law really her enemy?
With tears in her eyes, she called her aunt’s phone number...
