It was late at night, everything was silent, and the whole world seemed immersed in tranquility.
A bright moon hangs high in the sky, casting silver light, like a layer of veil covering the earth.
Inside the house, Zhou's mother sat upright on an old wooden chair, her face tense and her expression serious as she stared at her eldest daughter-in-law Liu Fang who was standing at the door.
The dim candlelight flickered, illuminating Zhou's mother's slightly sad face.
Recently, all kinds of rumors about Liu Fang have been spreading everywhere in the streets.
However, Zhou's mother was not the kind of person who would easily believe in rumors or blindly follow trends.
She chose to wait in silence, hoping that Liu Fang would take the initiative to tell her the truth behind it all.
At this moment, Liu Fang leaned quietly against the door frame, her eyes meeting her mother-in-law's.
In this small room, only the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law were standing opposite each other.
Although I had anticipated that I might feel extremely nervous when facing my mother-in-law, when the moment really came, the annoying pressure did not seem as heavy as I had imagined.
Fundamentally speaking, Liu Fang does not think that there is anything wrong with his daily words and actions.
My heart is clear and I naturally don't feel guilty at all.
The eldest sister-in-law's face was as calm as water, and she met the mother-in-law's sharp gaze without dodging.
She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Mom, I do have someone I like. We have similar personalities, values, and even our work is comparable. Not only does he not mind that I've been married before, he doesn't mind that I'm a widow, and he doesn't care that I'm older than him. We really want to walk into the marriage hall hand in hand!"
After the sister-in-law got out all the words that had been in her heart for so long, she leaned against the door frame as if relieved of a heavy burden.
At this moment, her eyes were still staring at her mother-in-law quietly, as if waiting for a storm to come.
In fact, before this, the eldest sister-in-law had already made sufficient mental preparations in her heart. She knew that her mother-in-law might say some harsh words next, but no matter what, she had made up her mind to get married, and this firm belief would never be shaken by any external factors.
Time seemed to stand still, and a suffocating silence filled the room.
This long period of silence was a torture for the sister-in-law. Her heart felt as if it was being roasted on fire.
The eldest sister-in-law held her breath tightly, not even daring to breathe out, staring at her mother-in-law sitting opposite her without blinking. At this moment, her heart was full of tension and anxiety, not knowing what would happen next.
However, unexpectedly, Zhou's mother behaved surprisingly calmly.
Her originally tense face actually relaxed at this moment, and she said calmly: "If you really think he is good and want to marry him, then marry him! As the saying goes, if it rains, it will rain, and if it wants to marry, no one can stop it."
Hearing this, the sister-in-law couldn't help but widen her eyes, wondering if she was hallucinating.
She looked at her mother-in-law in disbelief, and stammered, "Really? Really? I can really decide my own marriage?"
When Zhou's mother heard her sister-in-law asking again, she showed a trace of displeasure on her face and frowned and said, "What are you talking about? You didn't sell it to our Zhou family, so how can you not even make the decision on your own marriage? Since you have already made up your mind, then pick an auspicious day as soon as possible, and then quickly vacate this west room for me, I still have other uses for it!"
The eldest sister-in-law was so excited that her voice was trembling. "Okay, okay, we will do it as soon as possible."
Mother Zhou turned away and waved at her, "Go back, I'm tired too."
"good."
The sister-in-law gently closed the slightly old door, with a relaxed and happy smile on her face, and slowly walked into her own warm little house.
However, at the moment the door was tightly closed, two lines of tears could not help but slide down from the corners of Zhou's mother's eyes.
Time flies. It has been so many years since her eldest son left home, and she has been a widow in silence for so long.
Today, she is still in her prime, and her youth has not completely faded away. How can she let loneliness and solitude trap her for the rest of her life?
In fact, the eldest daughter-in-law has always dreamed of finding a man she really likes, building a beautiful relationship with him, and living a happy life together. It would be best if she could have another child, so that her life can be called perfect and without regrets.
During this period of time, my family has experienced too many complicated things.
Faced with all this, Zhou's mother gradually came to terms with it and figured it out.
Let all those troubles go with the wind. Since we cannot control all situations, we might as well let nature take its course and let everything develop.
In this way, you can have some free time and enjoy the peace and beauty in life.
………………
"What? Your mother-in-law actually agreed to let you remarry?"
When Ruan Xiaotang heard the news, her mouth opened so wide that it seemed like an egg could fit in it.
Her big, bright eyes were now as big as bells, and her eyeballs were about to pop out. The expression on her face was even more wonderful, with surprise, confusion, disbelief and other emotions intertwined together, forming a picture that made people laugh.
Meimei, who was standing nearby, was also shocked by the sudden news. She shook her head and said anxiously, "Sister-in-law, could it be that you were hallucinating and heard it wrong? From what I know about my mother-in-law, she is traditional and stubborn. How could she agree to let you remarry so easily? There must be some misunderstanding here, or we must have made a mistake!"
As she spoke, Meimei frowned and began to recall every detail of her past interactions with her mother-in-law, trying to find some clues to prove her guess.
The eldest sister-in-law said it again with certainty, "It's absolutely true. I didn't hear it wrong."
Xiaotang and Mei looked at each other beautifully.
Each of them took one and held the sister-in-law's arm and began to congratulate her.
Xiaotang, "Congratulations, sister-in-law, happy second marriage, and may you have a baby soon."
Meimei said, "Congratulations, sister-in-law. Congratulations, sister-in-law. When will you bring the groom back for us to see?"
Meimei looked at her sister-in-law carefully and said, "Sister-in-law, you are in such a hurry to get married, are you pregnant?"
"Nonsense! I'll beat you to death for keeping your mouth shut!"
Meimei knew that her words would definitely anger her sister-in-law.
I had foresight, so I spread my arms and ran away.
Xiaotang said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, she doesn't think before she speaks. Don't bother with her."
The eldest sister-in-law also laughed, "This is beautiful..."
