A mother-in-law who loves you very much has long since placed you in the position of an imaginary enemy.
I feel like she stole you away; she stole the son I raised with such hardship.
It stole your attention, it stole you.
I didn't want to accept her, so I started being sarcastic and started to look down on her. I wanted to get you to join my side.
I don't want to add her name either. I even think that if I did, she'd have to get half of it when you divorce.
Jiang Zhu: "..."
Mo Yan brought Jiang Zhu to the house, and sure enough, everything was decorated, except for the furniture.
Thinking of this, Mo Yan looked at Jiang Zhu with a complicated expression, "Maybe you inherited your selfishness from me, huh?"
Jiang Zhu was at a loss, completely at a loss, because he knew nothing about these things.
"After I get married, have you ever thought about letting us come over?"
"No."
Mo Yan blurted out, looking at this place, she thought of the time when the original owner was running around doing renovations. At that time, the original owner was truly wholeheartedly doing what was best for her son.
She's conflicted. Sometimes she hopes her son and daughter-in-law will be happy and fulfilled, but other times she feels her daughter-in-law has stolen her son away. She can't help but compare them, wondering why the son she raised has to treat her well.
Why should my son, whom I spoiled as a child, have to serve you?
When people experience these emotions too often, they change.
"Jiang Zhu, let me tell you what's on my mind. You are my son, and you will always be the most important person in my heart."
I long for you to grow up and become successful. Yet, I'm also afraid that you'll leave me when you grow up. So I let you not look for a job.
I feel sorry for you, but at the same time, I want you to have an easier life. I'm so conflicted, son. I want you to be successful, but I'm also afraid you'll suffer.
I want you to settle down and start a family, but I'm also afraid that once you have a wife, you'll forget your mother.
Even though you're married, I won't let you leave. I just want you to stay with me and have your wife take care of me.
I am selfish too, and I have selfish thoughts, which is normal, but I understand that it is wrong.
I have experienced all of these things.
I told myself clearly at the time that I couldn't become a mother-in-law like your grandmother. I couldn't interfere in your affairs as a young couple.
I also can't protect you when you're arguing.
When a woman comes to our home, to a strange home, and faces our family, she may feel lonely. At this time, you, as her husband, should make her feel the warmth of family.
But I don't know how or why, I gradually became like your grandmother.
I will not like Hongli, and I will start thinking about her shortcomings.
I'll start to think that you're too good to her and that you'll definitely forget about me, her mother.
I accept that you're sponging off your parents and that you're useless, as if that's how she won't be with you, and you'll still be my son.
But I forgot that I will grow old, I will die, and I will no longer be able to take care of you.
What if you still don't know anything at that time?
Jiang Zhu, I don't necessarily want you to be with Hongli, but we have to take responsibility for making her suffer. We should make her happy and support whatever decision she makes.
You two don't have to be together, but you should both think about what you want.
I also told her that even if she's not with me, even if she doesn't want to stay, I will support her and I will take care of her during her postpartum period.
But it depends on what you think; I can never make decisions for your lives.
I have no right to tell you what to do with your lives.
I used to want to be like your grandmother, to interfere in your lives, to make you all listen to me, as if I could be in charge of you.
I thought you should listen to me, so I gave you a house. You should fawn over me and listen to me, not your wives.
Jiang Zhu: I don't think that way anymore.
You're all grown up now, you can choose your own path in life. If you make mistakes, I'll make amends for you, but of course, you also have to take responsibility.
Hearing this, Jiang Zhu suddenly didn't know what to say. He had always thought that his mother was only hysterical and only knew how to complain.
All they do is criticize Hongli for this and that.
The two of them seem to be enemies forever, with no possibility of reconciliation.
He was torn and suffocated between the two of them.
He didn't know whose side to take, what to do, or how to proceed.
"I don't know if I can be a father, and I don't know if I will be able to find a satisfactory job."
"I don't know, that's because you haven't done it yet, that's because I haven't let you do it. I make you feel that you can rely on me, that it's natural for you to depend on your mother, but Hongli will see you as a mama's boy."
Are you really like that? No, you just don't want to work hard. You only listen to me because I'll give you money and help you take care of the children, so you don't have to worry about anything, right?
