A beautiful story of respecting the elderly, where filial piety is not parents, but better than parents. This happened to my colleague Chen Jie.
Sister Chen is twenty-eight years old. Like me, she is a nurse in a big hospital. She and her husband met at a social meeting between our hospital and a large state-owned enterprise. Chen Jie's husband was an engineer, and he was very handsome, which fascinated many unmarried doctors and nurses in our hospital at that time, but he only had a soft spot for Chen Jie. Then it is normal to fall in love, and then step into the palace of marriage.
After Chen Jie got married, it may be the reason for the lack of running-in. Couples often have conflicts. Every time they quarrel, the husband has to accompany his sister-in-law. Later, the quarrel was so fierce that he simply stayed with her, and the two newlyweds separated directly.
Sister Chen thinks that the contradiction between her and her husband is because of her husband's sister-in-law. When they got married, the husband and sister-in-law moved from the county town together, and the three lived together. In Chen Jie's eyes, the relationship between him and his sister-in-law is very abnormal. Chen Jie gets angry every time she mentions her husband's sister-in-law. "For every bride, the wedding night is very happy, but my wedding night with him is a long story. When I slept until midnight and heard someone crying, I called him out to have a look. As soon as I opened the door, I saw his sister-in-law sitting in front of our door crying. " This made Chen Jie feel very unlucky, and the more she thought about it, the more sad she became. But after all, she is newly married in the wedding period, and it is not easy to have an attack. Afterwards, she also asked her sister-in-law, who anxiously explained to her that she was sincerely happy to see her brother-in-law who had lived together for many years finally got married today, so she drank a few more glasses of wine out of control. After drinking wine, she remembered many past events in her heart and felt sad unconsciously. Unexpectedly, she couldn't help crying.
The more my mother thinks about it, the more wrong it is. How can my brother-in-law and his sister-in-law have such feelings? Is there any secret in this? She really wants her husband to give her an explanation now.
Her husband finally answered Chen Jie's inner question. He said he had only one brother, who was nearly twenty years apart. His parents died when he was four or five years old. He was brought up by his brother and sister-in-law, who, like his mother, gave him selfless care and lacked maternal love.
Especially after my brother died, my sister-in-law not only didn't remarry, but continued to work for him to study until he got married. He can never repay this kindness. In his eyes, sister-in-law is his mother and sister-in-law is his home.
After hearing what happened, Chen Jie was completely moved. She hugged her husband tightly and vowed to honor her sister-in-law with him and treat her like a mother-in-law. The misunderstanding between the two sides was thus eliminated. Both of them are aware of their problems in this marriage. Sister Chen agreed to discuss with her husband. In the future, no matter how big or small, we should be considerate and concerned about each other and not be wary of each other. Marriage should be honest.
Chen Jie's husband is definitely the kind of person who knows how to repay a debt of gratitude. Although he is his own sister-in-law, in order to repay the kindness of raising, he would rather be misunderstood than give up his concern and respect for his benefactor. Such noble feelings are really worth studying now.
