I originally thought that he would find all kinds of excuses to shirk his responsibility.
Who knew he was just silent for a moment, and then said to me: "Mom, no one knows a child better than his mother. I know what I'm thinking, and I'll tell you the truth so you don't have to worry."
"From childhood to adulthood, the one who has helped me the most, both physically and mentally, is Fourth Aunt. When I was a child, I often imagined her as the person I would marry when I grew up. This has been an obsession for many years, and I can't let it go for a while. But I promise you, I will definitely find the right balance."
I know that he has been very sensible since he was a child, and many times he even takes my emotions into consideration. I can't say anything more to blame him.
I can only keep my trust in him as always. "Jianhui, Mom knows that you are a man with big plans. You understand a lot of things even if I don't tell you. Your fourth aunt must only have your fourth uncle in her heart. You didn't expect that you would end up not even having relatives."
He assured me again that he would learn to regulate his condition.
In fact, what I am most worried about are the relatives at home, especially the third brother and his wife, and He Hui.
They are the people who have had the most frequent contact with our family over the years. Even I can see what Jianhui is thinking, not to mention that the third brother's family are all smart people. Maybe they can see it earlier than me.
At a family gathering, the third brother's wife was worried about He Hui's lifelong affairs, saying that they had been pursuing him for so many years, but why couldn't they catch up with him?
When I heard this, I thought the opportunity had come.
I quickly took advantage of the opportunity to say, "Isn't it the same in my family? When he was little, he said he wanted to marry his fourth aunt, and we all laughed at him. But after so many years, he still hasn't found a partner. I want to ask him if he still misses his fourth aunt?"
As soon as I said this, everyone laughed, as if they all remembered the scene when Jianhui was beaten by Lao Si because of this matter.
"Of course I do. I remember it clearly." The third sister-in-law added, "Speaking of that time, Jianhui was beaten badly by the fourth brother. The fourth brother was really a fool. He was such an ignorant child that he could do that. I think you should ask him for some medical expenses."
I waved my hands at him, "Don't talk about the medical expenses. I hope he beats Jianhui up again. What age is he? He keeps saying there's no rush. I can still move, and I want to help him take care of the baby. When I can't move anymore, he'll have another baby and no one will help him."
My third brother's wife continued talking along with what I said, while I kept observing the expressions of my fourth brother and his wife.
The fourth brother was acting normal and was still chatting about work with the third brother. These two men are real workaholics. If my man were still alive, he would probably complain when he got home.
What must he be talking about? The third and fourth brothers are playing well and deliberately ostracizing him.
I just didn't like hearing him talk like that, luckily he died early.
Speaking of him, I remembered Jianhui's previous failure. To be honest, what Jianhui did was wrong. After that, I started to go to the temple frequently to burn incense and pray, hoping to find some way to break the problem.
Although the New China has broken away from feudal superstitions, ordinary people still have respect for ghosts and gods. If there is a way to seek peace of mind, it would be great.
It was not until I visited a very popular temple that the abbot said that I was the one with a destiny and spoke many words to me personally.
In general, it is necessary to do good deeds in the name of the deceased, otherwise the child will have a restless life and will have many obstacles in marriage.
I think what he said basically matches the actual situation of our family, and it is quite credible.
So when my fourth brother's wife set up a foundation using the names of his two children, I also set up a fund using my husband's name, called the Qingbai Foundation.
The fund established in his name is mainly used to treat some children's mental health problems.
Jianhui’s condition was so serious during that time that as his mother, I watched him get through it all. I don’t know how many times I accompanied him when he had a mental breakdown.
Even later on, I was terrified many times. If I had not wisely surrendered to my fourth brother's wife at that time, I would still be supporting them with my salary.
Then I would never have the time to stay at home with my child, and there is really no way to predict what Jianhui's child will become.
Therefore, the main purpose of establishing this fund is to help children who have psychological problems but do not have the time or money to receive treatment.
I also hope that this method can eliminate the sins mentioned by the abbot. As for Jianhui's marriage problem, it would be better if there is one, but if not, I don't want to force it too much.
After I established the Qingbai Fund, my third brother and his wife also started their trip around the country, working and having fun at the same time. I was very envious of them.
But my personality prevents me from being as free and easy as them.
During their travels, they also met many children with psychological problems. After learning more about them, they introduced my Qingbai Foundation to them.
Under the influence of the fourth brother and his wife, each of our families set up a fund, but the purpose of each fund is different.
My fourth brother’s wife often said that there are always things that a person cannot take care of, and no matter how well you do, it is impossible to be comprehensive and take care of everyone.
But if this person mobilizes many capable people to take care of the vulnerable groups, then even if it is not 100% possible, the coverage can be increased from 10% to 20%, 30%, or even higher.
When I first heard this, I thought it was quite saintly. At that time, I didn't know the word "saintly". I just thought she was too compassionate. No matter what kind of person they were, as long as they were children in distress, she would sympathize with them.
It seems that in her heart, all the children in the world are worth helping.
If it were in the past, I would have scoffed at his idea in my heart, but would not show anything on the surface.
But now, what I think is that if one out of the ten rescued children can eventually recover and make contributions to society, it will be a great merit for us, the rescuers.
It’s not that we are not afraid of rescuing bad guys, but we are more afraid that more good children will not be rescued.
With this thought in mind, I feel my mentality becoming more and more peaceful.
As a teacher, I have a very high social status; as a top embroiderer in my fourth brother’s wife’s company, the salary is naturally high, and I even own the original shares.
I am rich and have social status, so I personally don't need to pursue more things. Even in terms of Jianhui's life, I just hope that he doesn't go astray.
It was not until Jianhui met the young nurse during the epidemic and slowly hid his feelings for his fourth aunt deep in his heart that I felt more relieved.
Since then, I have been committed to further developing the skills my teacher taught me.
