Preface
Deep in the tranquil countryside, an unpretentious couple lives. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset, watering the fields of hope with the sweat of their hard work. However, life is not always easy, and the couple often quarrels over the family's financial pressures. Today, we are going to tell a story about their family, a story about warmth, responsibility and growth.
What happened
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the fields, a golden yellow. Li Xiumei sat in her yard, clutching the tuition slip tightly in her hand, her brows furrowed. Her husband, Wang Dashan, had just returned from the field and was exhausted. The two looked at each other speechlessly, and an oppressive atmosphere filled the air.
"What about my child's tuition?" Li Xiumei finally broke the silence, her voice a little helpless.
"I ...... I'll figure it out again. Wang Dashan lowered his head, his tone full of helplessness.
However, the solution is not so easy to think of. The two worked hard for a year, but their income was far less than the cost of their children's schooling. Li Xiumei looked at the thin piece of paper in her hand, and an indescribable bitterness welled up in her heart. She felt that she and her husband were too incompetent to even earn their children's school fees.
After a fierce quarrel, Li Xiumei packed up a few clothes in a fit of anger and moved to the old house at the entrance of the village. She decided to face all this on her own, at least so that she could leave a little living expenses for her children.
The old house was dilapidated, the walls were full of cracks, and the roof tiles were incomplete. But Li Xiumei didn't care, she just wanted to find a quiet place to think about it. However, her departure has left the elderly in the family worried.
When the mother-in-law learned the news, she rushed to the old house overnight. She saw Li Xiumei sitting alone in the dimly lit room, with mixed feelings in her heart. She knew that this daughter-in-law was a strong person, but the pressure of life had overwhelmed her. The mother-in-law silently walked up to Li Xiumei and gently patted her on the shoulder.
"Xiumei, you know what? Your father-in-law and I have been through such days. But as long as we work together as a family, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. The mother-in-law's voice was full of love and firmness.
Li Xiumei raised her head and looked at her mother-in-law's eyes full of wisdom, and the grievances and anger in her heart disappeared in an instant. She couldn't help but throw herself into her mother-in-law's arms and cry loudly. The mother-in-law hugged her tightly, as if to pass on all the warmth to her.
"Mother-in-law knows that it is not easy for you, but we can't just give up. You go back and discuss it with Wang Dashan and see if you can find another way. The mother-in-law said while comforting Li Xiumei.
Li Xiumei wiped away her tears and nodded, she knew that her mother-in-law was right. She couldn't just walk away and worry her family. So she decided to go back and have a good talk with Wang Dashan and face the challenges of the future together.
Early the next morning, my mother-in-law came to the old house with money borrowed from relatives and neighbors. She stuffed the money into Li Xiumei's hand and said, "This is a little bit of mother-in-law's heart, you can take it and pay the child's tuition first." Li Xiumei looked at the money in her hand, her heart was full of gratitude, she hugged her mother-in-law tightly, and said with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, mother-in-law, it was you who made me regain hope." ”
