In 2016, her husband passed away, and Zhang Yawen relied on the demolition money to support the Zhou family alone.
She lived a very poor life, and all she wanted was peace and success.
In 2023, her grandson was born. She thought this was the fulfillment of life, so she gave everything she had to give her daughter-in-law a smile.
She was wrong.
Li Mei, the daughter-in-law from the countryside, has never thought about the word "pay".
In her eyes, her mother-in-law's money was brought by the strong wind, and her mother-in-law deserved to suffer.
She relies entirely on her mother-in-law for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and leaves all childcare responsibilities to her. Even when her mother-in-law falls ill, she moves out overnight to avoid her.
Love and hate are always just a thought.
When all the giving turns into one-way taking, when all the soft-heartedness turns into a knife piercing the heart.
Zhang Yawen cried bitterly for countless late nights, but she still ran through the wind and rain for her grandson's mouthful of hot soup.
"Family with Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law" describes the ultimate pull between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in Chinese style.
This is a story about sacrifice, obsession and awakening.
Dedicated to all the mothers who have spent their hearts and souls in marriage, but have been completely wounded. In the end, living out oneself and starting a new life, everyone found their own new life.
Reader comments
Why can't a good mother-in-law meet a good daughter-in-law, and a good daughter-in-law can't meet a good mother-in-law? The writing is very true, and it tells the story of a woman whose original family and marriage were both unhappy. A man finally raised his children and married a daughter-in-law, but he didn't expect his daughter-in-law to be like this, alas!
A family has children, the mother-in-law is the father, and the daughter-in-law is the mother, all for the sake of a home. Men are cars and houses, carrying responsibilities. A love marriage, when men and women, old and young, are together, the family is harmonious and everything is prosperous, and a healthy life is true.
It's super easy to read realistic writing, not imaginative, but real and touching.
As the same mother-in-law, I feel the same way,
Many families are like this. Mother-in-laws should be strong-willed, show their own confidence, and not wrong themselves.
This is not a cool article, it is the real life of thousands of Chinese mother-in-laws.
They endured, cried, and stood at the door unable to get in. But they stood up and lived the way they wanted. I don't forgive, I don't care, I just don't want to carry it anymore.
"It's not that I forgive, it's that I don't want to worry about it anymore. After so many years of worrying about it, I am the one who is tired. Letting go doesn't mean that I forgive, it means that I don't want to carry it anymore."
Five hundred thousand words, describing the grievances and reconciliations of two generations of women.
Don't write about nonsense, don't write about exaggeration, just write about the soup beside the stove, the stitches of sweaters, the desk lamp used for writing late at night, and the fragrance of ink in the elderly university.
If you've ever stood at a door and wondered whether or not to knock - this story is for you.
If you have such a mother, mother-in-law, or old sister around you - please pass it on to them. Some grievances were only seen after they were spoken out.
Open this book and let Zhang Yawen accompany you for a journey. The path she took may be the path you are taking. She stood up and so can you.
---
The rest of the three women's lives started with a bowl of cold soup and ended with a cup of hot tea.
This is life. This is reconciliation. This is home.
It's so well written, it's about the real life of an ordinary family, I'll keep reading.
This article is very down-to-earth, full of fireworks, close to life, and is a true portrayal of many families.
This kind of novel is a pyrotechnic novel. I like to read this kind of novel. Don't like reading time travel novels
