I’m over 60 this year. People are full of diseases and can only make it through a few more Tet. But at this age, there are still things that I regret. I just wish time could go back so I could fix myself once.
Her husband died when she was 3 years old. I stayed there to raise my son alone. If not, perhaps everyone knows how hard life is for a mother and a child. That day I did enough jobs to feed my children. I just hope it becomes successful in the future to repay her mother’s support.
As much as I expect from a son, the more I long for a talented and perfect daughter-in-law. Because after graduating from school, my son worked for a foreign corporation with a salary of thousands of dollars.
However, in response, my child brought back a girl from a very ordinary family. Her education is not high, just a kindergarten teacher with a monthly salary of several million.

At that time, I vehemently opposed the marriage of my children. But in life, no parent can win over their children. The wedding was not officially held, but my son hid his mother from registering his marriage. That day I went to the market to meet a girl near my house. Seeing me, she pulled back and asked softly:
“Hey sister, why are you so quiet about getting married to your son. We don’t know anything.”
At that time, I was so shocked, I even asked her where she heard it. That’s why she told me, the day I went to do the red book in the commune, I met my son to register his marriage. When I got home, I called to ask my son, and the answer was the same. Only then did I fall back.
My son’s disobedience made me even more hostile to my daughter-in-law. Therefore, I declare to both of them:
“Mom just accepted me. When you give birth, remember to get tested, if it’s your own blood, your mother will accept it. There is no daughter-in-law.”
After my daughter-in-law gave birth, they sent the blood test card home. At that time, my daughter-in-law called back and said in tears:
“Are you satisfied now? I won’t forget this day.”
The relationship between mother and daughter is not good either. As for him, sometimes there are chicken eggs or some clean vegetables at home, I also send them. Only for my daughter-in-law, I’m still more strict.
In the first few years, my son brought his wife and children home to celebrate Tet. In those days, I didn’t talk to my daughter-in-law. She called her mother to call her daughter, and I only called me and my sister.
In the following years, my daughter-in-law took the initiative to go to her grandmother’s house to celebrate Tet. I also feel a bit empty. But every time the son asked, the son also answered very superficially: “She came back, but the mother just looked at her as a stranger. I told you to go out and play.”
Honestly, I also wanted to open my heart to my daughter-in-law, but I don’t understand why that day was so stubborn that I didn’t go to the water first. Then, in recent years, when his health deteriorated severely, he realized how much he wanted to live near his children and grandchildren.
Many days alone, sitting in the house, seeing my neighbors pick up their children and grandchildren to eat and drink together happily, I was moved to think of myself.
It is true that my children still send money back every month. But what I need is more family love. Recently, my neighborhood has become more and more empty because the grandparents have moved to the city to live with their eldest son.
Even my neighbor, who has been next to me for decades, came to my house to say goodbye yesterday. Before leaving, she also sympathized with my situation:
“If the North guy earns it, you can go up and live with his family, bro. But I’m old, I don’t know where the wind turns. As for me and my daughter-in-law, I gradually removed it.”
But it’s easy to say, hard to do. I still haven’t given my son a wedding. Nor has he ever done anything good to his daughter-in-law. Wouldn’t it be too thick to say to be with them now?
This time, my body started to break down. After being discharged from the hospital for a few days, he had to stay in the hospital for another illness. The son lives far away, sometimes he only comes home to visit his mother for 2 days and then goes away. So I was the only one in the hospital, I was so sad thinking about it.
As for my daughter-in-law, I haven’t seen her face for a year. Even when I was in the hospital, he didn’t care, let alone take care of my mother. Actually, I also understand for her. Because after what happened, I find myself a bit harsh.
But as time goes by, the things you don’t want to do are done. I can only accept. I just hope that later, when I disappear from the mountain, her daughter-in-law will let her daughter go home to mourn her grandmother. So everyone, everyone is old and sick sometimes. When you’re healthy, don’t hold back your daughter-in-law, so that when you get old, you will regret it like I do now.
