Mother continued: "there were some misunderstandings about the wedding of Xiaoke and Haizhu years ago. Because of these misunderstandings, the wedding was aborted. This is something we all don't want to see. It brought passivity to our two families, especially to the in laws. Haizhu was wronged
"For this reason, Xiao Ke's father and I feel very uneasy and sorry. Anyway, it's all caused by our son. We take full responsibility. Our family came here today to apologize. Please forgive me, and Haizhu will forgive Xiao Ke."
Mother's tone is very sincere, Dad nodded on one side, both face apology.
I sat down and said nothing.
Mother then pulled my arm: "Xiao Ke, today in front of Haizhu and your father-in-law and mother-in-law, as well as these elders at home, you say a few words."
I raised my head, looked at Haizhu's parents, looked around at my seven aunts and eight aunts, took a deep breath and said, "father and mother-in-law, my elders, and Haizhu, what happened to me years ago was that the police handled the wrong case and arrested the wrong person. Soon I was cleared up and released. What the police said at the wedding was just a misunderstanding, My relationship with the dead is innocent
"But no matter what, the fact is that the negative impact has been caused. I am deeply sorry for the harm caused by my own affairs. It's all my fault. I am sorry for my parents, my father-in-law and mother-in-law, Haizhu and my relatives and elders
"In the future, I will learn a lesson, be cautious and live up to the expectations and hopes of my elders Today, my parents and I are here to properly handle this matter. "
"Xiao Ke, what are you going to do with it?" Mother Haizhu spoke at this time.
"I think Take Haizhu back Let's have a good time. " I said.
Mother then said: "yes, in laws, we are here today to take Haizhu home. Today is the 15th day of the first month. Haizhu is our daughter-in-law. My parents in law are looking forward to their daughter-in-law going home for the Lantern Festival I hope Haizhu and Xiaoke will have a good life in the future. "
My father also said: "because of this incident, my mother and I criticized Xiao Ke severely and criticized him many times. Xiao Ke also reviewed us many times and deeply realized his mistakes and the harm he brought to us, especially to his father-in-law, mother-in-law and Haizhu
"Xiao Ke has a profound understanding of his mistakes. He will certainly learn from them in the future Of course, I have an unshirkable responsibility for the harm that Xiao Ke has brought to you. My son apologizes to you, and I also want to apologize to you. "
Parents blindly low-key, give enough Haizhu parents face, but let me feel great pain in my heart, looking at Haizhu mother light expression, I almost can't help but attack, but think of parents repeatedly told, I can't help.
At the same time, I also feel that I have to respect my elders. Except Haizhu, all of you are elders. I have no qualification and power to treat them.
I can only bear it.
At this time, Haizhu's mother took a deep breath and scanned around.
My mother-in-law is going to speak.
Everyone looked at Haizhu's mother, and her parents seemed a little nervous.
Haizhu's mother said slowly: "as you can see today, Xiaoke's family came to our house to make a solemn apology for the things before Xiaoke and the harm that Xiaoke and a Zhu's wedding brought to our family
"In fact, it's not the first time. Xiao Ke's parents came to our house with gifts once a year ago, but Haifeng and I were in a bad mood at that time and didn't let our family in Two days ago, we were on holiday in Australia, and Xiao Ke went to Australia to invite Haizhu back I didn't allow that either
Haizhu's mother seems to be trying to belittle us and give her parents face in front of relatives.
My parents were smiling, but they were embarrassed.
The smile of my parents at this time makes me feel very sad. I know that they are willing to suffer these demeans and grievances for me.
Haizhu's mother continued: "about Xiao Ke and a Zhu, about our two families, during the Spring Festival, I thought about it again and again, and asked for the opinions of Haifeng, Haizhu and their father. It has happened, and our family's face has been lost, but things always have to be solved
"In fact, we know Xiaoke well, and we don't believe Xiaoke will do that, especially Haizhu Haifeng. After all, they know Xiaoke better than us. Now we all believe that this is a misunderstanding
"At the same time, taking into account the fact that the in laws have come to apologize in person over and over again, the sincere attitude of the in laws, Xiao Ke's deep understanding of his mistakes, Xiao Ke and Haifeng are good brothers for many years, the fact that Xiao Ke and a Zhu have registered, our family's feelings for Xiao Ke, and our understanding of Xiao Ke's character and quality, Considering the children's future and their life in the future, I think it will have a result today. "Parents nervously looking at Haizhu mother.
"As parents, of course, we want to see the children well. We all hope that the children can live a harmonious and happy life. As a family member, we also respect Xiao Ke's parents' opinions and understand their feelings very much..."
Haizhu's mother continued: "it's been a while. My father and I have figured it out. The person who should be lost has also been lost. It doesn't matter if we continue to lose. This face can't be used as a meal, even if we can't get it back. But the key is to consider the children's life. It's a big thing We can't ruin children's life happiness because of face
"So, I think, since the in laws and Xiao Ke have come here specially, and they have a sincere attitude to admit their mistakes, I can't help giving face to the in laws, otherwise outsiders will say that our family doesn't know good or bad, doesn't understand human feelings, doesn't understand human reason
"Well, let's have a meal together at noon. After that, Haizhu will go home with Xiaoke and his mother-in-law for 15 years. It's not lucky for his daughter-in-law to be away from her mother-in-law's home for the holidays. I understand this custom."
Listening to Haizhu's mother, my parents were overjoyed. I was also relieved, but there was still a sense of humiliation in my heart.
This humiliation is not because of me, but because of the difficulties my parents have suffered in front of so many people.
I took a look at Haizhu. Haizhu was looking at me with some excitement and uneasiness in her eyes.
I seem to know why Haizhu is upset. Her mother said this, she will feel a little sorry.
Although Haizhu's mother said she didn't care about losing face, what she said gave her face a lot and made her face in front of all her relatives and friends.
However, she just considered how to save face for herself, but did not consider the feelings of my parents.
I suddenly realized the difference between love and marriage. Love is a matter between two people, which is very simple. Marriage is a matter between two families, which is more complicated than love.
Then, we went to Haizhu's hotel for lunch.
When we got to the hotel, my parents and I were in a daze again. It turned out that the relatives of Haizhu's family who came here today not only met the ten or so elders in her home, but also had dozens of people waiting, including adults, children, men and women.
Later, when these people eat together, they will soon spread the scene in Haizhu's house. Everyone will feel that they have greatly developed their own ambition, that is, the ambition of their mother-in-law's family. And then when they go back, it will spread more widely.
It turns out that Haizhu's family has already made arrangements, and it is undoubtedly Haizhu's mother-in-law who dominates all this.
Looking at everyone's noisy attendance, I stood aside and regained my breath.
Zhang Xiaotian and Lin Yaru went back and forth to help arrange the banquet.
"Brother..." Haizhu stood behind me and said, "let's go to the single room."
I looked back at Haizhu, tried to make myself laugh, and said: "it's so busy Your family is really good at doing things, and they are really good at saving face. "
Haizhu was stunned.
Without waiting for Haizhu to speak, I went directly to the single room.
Haizhu and I have a single room with both parents. Haizhu's mother's attitude towards my parents is much more warm at this time. It seems that there are no relatives around, so she doesn't need to face up and suffer.
"In laws, what I said just now is too much. You must bear with me!" Haizhu mother said.
"Well, you are welcome, in laws. We are not dissatisfied with anything." Mother laughed: "today you can understand us, you can understand Xiaoke, you can let Haizhu go back with us, my father and I are very satisfied Thank you for your understanding. "
Listening to my mother's words, my eyes were fixed on the table and I didn't speak. A sense of sadness came to my heart.
Although I know I'm wrong, I still can't accept the difficulties my parents have suffered. The Haizhu family called so many relatives here today to save their face by suppressing our family. It's a bit out of the ordinary.
"Xiao Ke, a toast to your father-in-law and mother-in-law." Dad said.
I didn't seem to hear my father's words and sat there.
Haizhu kicked me on the table with her foot and looked at me.
I stood up, raised my glass and looked at Haizhu's parents: "Dad, mom, I'll give you a toast."
Haizhu's parents raised their glasses with a smile.
Haizhu then stood up and raised her glass to my parents and toasted: "Mom and Dad, I'll give you a toast. You're worried about me and Xiao Ke."
My parents raised their glasses happily, and my mother said, "ah Zhu, what do you care about? If you can go home, my mother is more happy than anything..."
Mother said, some red eyes.
After drinking, Haizhu raised her glass and looked at me: "brother, let's have a new year's bar."
I look at Haizhu some hair empty eyes, heart sighed, think Haizhu shouldn't hair empty, she is the victim, why should she feel guilty, the guilty is me.
But I also feel that Haizhu needs to feel guilty in terms of the way and process of handling this matter and her mother's words and deeds. It's OK for me to toss about. I can stand any toss. But it's hard for me to accept such tossing about my parents.Haizhu knows about my character and temper. She seems to know that I am very angry about it. It seems that she thinks it will become a hidden danger of conflict between me and her or her family sooner or later.
I clinked a glass with Haizhu and drank it.
Then Zhang Xiaotian, Lin Yaru and xiaoqinru come in to toast the old people on both sides.
Then Haizhu's mother asked me and Haizhu to toast at other wine tables.
It seems that Haizhu and I are only having a wedding party at our home today.
"Why don't you inform our family in advance and let our family's relatives come, so that your family will pay more attention to face! My husband's family has been completely trampled down by my wife's family. How glorious it is... " In the interval of toast, I said a word to Haizhu.
Haizhu's eyes were dazed and did not speak.
