Exactly 1 month later, had to rush her back to her hometown.

The article below is shared by Ms. Nham (32 years old, Nanning, China) and is receiving a lot of attention on the Toutiao platform.

After 4 years of dating, my husband and I got married. Compared to my husband's family, my family's economic situation is better. My parents are both university lecturers. I am the only one, so they love their daughter very much.

My husband's family is a little more difficult. He was born and raised in the countryside. Economic conditions are quite limited. However, my husband is very smart and has the will to escape poverty. After graduating from university, he was invited to work for a foreign company with a relatively good salary.

When we were still in love, I didn't care much about his family background. My parents were quite satisfied with their son-in-law and approved of this marriage.

To help our daughter not have to work hard, my parents gave her an apartment in the city as a dowry. This helped us reduce a lot of pressure.

Living in the city, while my husband's parents were still in the countryside, my husband and I drove back to the countryside to visit them every month. At that time, my father-in-law had a mild stroke. Luckily, my mother-in-law was still healthy so she could still take care of him.

Until the beginning of this year, after a period of fighting illness, my father-in-law passed away. After the funeral, my husband and I proposed to bring my mother to the city to live with us. Because she was no longer as healthy as before. We were not at all comfortable leaving her to live alone in the countryside without her children and grandchildren.

At first, she did not agree with this proposal. My mother-in-law was concerned that two generations living together in the same house would easily cause unnecessary conflicts. Such a small matter could destroy the family affection that was still strong. However, after much persuasion, she agreed to move to the city to live with her children.

My husband and I understand that we are her only relatives in this city. So we both try to arrange time to come home to eat and talk to her more so that she does not feel lonely.

I also carefully took my mother to greet the neighbors on the same floor, to build relationships. We also took her to the market and park near our house so that she could quickly adapt to life in this city.

Despite her best efforts, it seemed like my mother-in-law still wanted to return to her house in the countryside. That evening, exactly one month after moving to the city, she called my husband and I to the living room to talk.

“I have tried to adapt, but perhaps it is not suitable here. Every day, my children go to work, and I just stay at home watching TV and cleaning the house. The neighbors keep their doors closed so I am afraid to bother them. This kind of life makes me more tired than in the countryside. Maybe I will go home,” she shared sadly.

Upon hearing these words, my husband quickly asked if his children had done anything wrong to displease her. But my mother brushed it off and simply insisted that she wanted to go back to her hometown.

Understanding her wishes, the next morning we took her home. As soon as we reached the gate, I saw her face brighten again. Meeting her familiar neighbors, she was cheerful again as if nothing had happened.

“I like living in a place with these honest and simple neighbors. You can go back to the city to continue your work. If anything happens here, everyone will support me. Don’t worry,” my mother said.

At this point, my husband and I realized: It was not easy to separate Mom from the lifestyle with the neighbors who always treated each other as family. The hustle and bustle of city life was really not suitable for Mom. Back in the countryside, Mom could take care of her garden as a way to exercise every day, occasionally chatting and interacting with a few close neighbors.

To ensure that my mother does not lack the love of her children and grandchildren, my family regularly returns to the countryside to have a meal with her every week. Although her partner is absent, now that everyone is close by, my mother-in-law is happy again. She is no longer as gloomy as before.
