Part Two of My Mother-in-Law's Story
After calming down, I smoked another cigarette and carefully sorted out my thoughts. Then, with a fearless spirit,
I stood up and knocked on the door of the second bedroom.
"Mom—are you resting?" "Xiaobin?—" The voice inside was quite steady, "No? Come in
." It seemed as if she had expected this.
I went in. The bedside lamp was on, casting a soft light in the room. My mother-in-law was sitting on the edge of the bed, facing the window
. Hearing the door open, she turned around and said, "Xiaobin, what's up?" "You've been busy all day, why don't you go to
sleep?" Her voice was as gentle as ever, but her eyes held a clear question.
I felt like I had suddenly lost my equal standing, like a prisoner awaiting trial,
and one that didn't even want to be judged. Fortunately, I'm someone who's seen it all. I said, "I still want to
talk to you about what we were talking about earlier, Mom." I wanted to turn the tables. Maybe being proactive would lead to a different outcome.
"Really? What do you want to say?" My mother-in-law turned around.
I sat naturally on the edge of the bed and tried to speak calmly, "Mom, do you think I'm already seeing someone else?"
She didn't expect me to get straight to the point. She looked at me, just calmly. I guessed she was also wondering
what I wanted to do. "What do you think?" "I just took a shower and was thinking that
you know very well what the situation is between Hanyue and me. Sometimes, I think it's better to let you know sooner rather than later."
She didn't seem surprised at all, just looked at me calmly. "So you are." I nodded.
"Then why did you say you weren't seeing anyone last night?" She seemed still bothered by my lie.
"I certainly didn't want to make you uncomfortable, but now I think you'll feel better if I tell you the truth." I
thought that might be a good reason.
She nodded slightly. "What do you want to do?" I asked, taking the initiative. "What do you think?" She pursed her lips and said ,
"What can I think? How can I be happy? I've always thought you were a good child. Like I told you tonight,
I've always considered you my son, but I never expected it to turn out like this. Hearing you say it yourself,
I can only say I feel heartbroken and distressed." I nodded sincerely; I felt she was speaking from the heart.
She continued, "At first, I thought you and Hanyue had a good relationship. But when Hanyue became the vice president at Hongyang
, I wondered if there was something wrong between you two. Then she went to Xi'an, and it's been so long.
I knew this day might come." I interrupted her, "Mom, I'm so sorry." I lowered my head.
"I'm sorry?" She stood up, paced back and forth, "I'm sorry, what's the use of being sorry!
What's the use of you apologizing to me! Besides, this is your marriage, what you do is your right!" I sighed
and said, "I don't know either, really." "Neither of you are easy to deal with! Hanyue
is different from her sister. Her sister is someone who wants to settle down, but she likes excitement, likes challenges. Even if you don't
say anything, I actually sensed that she probably has her own plans in Xi'an. When she came back that time, I secretly
asked her, and she didn't answer directly, just told me to mind my own business. I think that's an admission. My own
daughter is like this, what else can I say? So Xiaobin, when I hear you say this, I'm not blaming you,
I'm just a little sad. Very disappointed. I can't even explain what I'm disappointed in, I'm just very disappointed!" I suddenly
felt that she was such a great woman, tolerant, maternal, loving, my God!
Isn't meeting such a mother-in-law a major gain in my life? The more this happened, the more ashamed I felt. In fact, I rarely felt I 　　was wrong
about marital matters , but tonight I felt truly ashamed! 　　She looked at me silently, not speaking for a long time. She gazed out the window, and after a while, finally spoke, "Actually, 　　I knew about this all along." I was even more surprised. Had I already given myself away? I had always 　　thought I was hiding it very well. 　　She glanced at me and said, "Like I said, you really are a good kid. In other people's eyes, you might 　　be a good man—you do a good job, have a decent income, own a house and a car, and are very kind. 　　Most importantly, you're still young, and your wife isn't around. How could you not have suitors? 　　" Hearing such praise, my face burned. I quickly said, "No, Mom, it's not what you think. 　　" She said quietly, "You don't need to deny it. Men! Once they have power or money, women naturally 　　flock to them. It's not surprising." "It's my own lack of self-control. I was wrong." I felt my mother-in-law 　　's tactics tonight were truly brilliant. It seemed like praise, and it didn't seem like a direct critique, but that 　　dull knife cutting into my flesh hurt even more! 　　"I'm not as educated as you, and I haven't been exposed to as many new things and ideas as young people, but I'm 　　not stupid. I know that even the strongest thread will break if it's too long. Your distance isn't a big deal! But like I 　　just said, what you said today confirms my thoughts. I just feel that your marriage is already in great danger. 　　" I admitted she was right, so I was speechless. 　　She sighed again and said, "Tell me, what do you really think about your marriage?" I was silent for a long time before 　　saying, "Mom, since we're out in the open, I'll tell you my honest opinion. We've been in this situation for a while now. 　　At first, I was very frustrated. I think we both probably know our own situation, but we've never 　　questioned each other. I think Hanyue and I are quite similar in this respect; we don't see marriage 　　as heavily as people your age, with so many constraints and limitations. Perhaps we can be considered more open-minded. ""Marriage might not be a tool to restrict our freedom for us, so neither of us has really thought about divorce. 　　So far, I haven't considered divorce either, and Hanyue hasn't talked to me about it. I think this 　　situation will continue for a while." "But this isn't a long-term solution." She was clearly concerned about this issue 　　—for example, she or someone close to you might put pressure on you." I knew what she meant, and I paused.

Dun said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with our current situation. It's just that in Runzhou, we're both
busy with our own things, and it's hard for either of us to take care of the other. Now, we actually feel a connection, like—like family. I
really enjoy being with you all, with you, with Dad, and even with my older sister and brother-in-law. I truly consider you all
my family. I really don't see the need to change anything. Of course, I'm not entirely sure
what Hanyue is thinking. But right now, I don't feel any pressure. Hanyue hasn't talked to me, so I believe she
's not under much pressure either. So, things might stay this way for now, but I really don't know what the future holds
." I looked up at her somewhat anxious eyes and quickly said... "Mom, don't worry. No matter what the future holds,
I'll be very careful. Maybe one day Hanyue and I will both have an epiphany and feel the need to return to the family,
have a child, or something like that—it's not impossible. But really, there's also the possibility of separation. But I think...
since we've come this far—I promise I'll find the best way to resolve this, hoping
not to hurt anyone, hoping not to hurt Hanyue, and trying my best not to hurt Dad, or you." "Sigh—
how can we not hurt him? Your dad's just like that, barely over sixty, already sickly. I only have one
request for you: try to prolong this as much as possible, and absolutely don't cause any trouble. When that day comes—sigh, what's meant to
happen will happen." I pursed my lips and nodded, saying, "I know, I will." She said softly, "On that day,
I won't be your mother anymore." I was stunned by her words. These words pierced
my heart like an awl. There were things I hadn't said earlier. Another reason our marriage remained a formality
was that my in-laws had been incredibly good to me, very caring and considerate. My mother passed away when I was ten, and my father
remarried while I was in college. I respected his choice, but I admit we grew distant. I truly
considered Hanyue's family my own, and them my own parents. Now, with what he said, I felt I no longer had
the right to call her "Mom," no longer had the right to sit at home waiting for them to serve me meals. My heart ached,
and tears streamed down my face. Suddenly, an idea struck me, and I blurted out, "Mom, actually, I
miss you more, and I miss Dad too. I just—when that day comes, I'll still call you Mom—I won't be your
son-in-law, you can accept me as your son!—If you're willing, I'll always be a family like this."
I looked at her earnestly, hoping to hear her answer. Her tears also streamed down her face, past the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
She grabbed my hand and said, "Good boy, Xiaobin, good boy." I stood up, took her hand, and said, "Mom,
can I hug you?" She stared at me blankly, without saying a word, but also stood up. Without waiting for her reply, I
pulled her into my arms. She felt as if her bones had been removed, clinging tightly to me. I could clearly
feel her heavy breathing in my ear, and I could feel her breasts warmly pressing against my chest. I
was truly dazed at that moment. Who was I hugging? Was it my mother-in-law or someone else? Never mind, that unique
warmth and fragrance of a woman told me she was a woman.
I seemed to have no scruples, and my lips gently touched her face. I gave her a light kiss.
I could clearly feel her body sway, but she didn't try to pull away. My lips gently kissed her cheek,
kissing away her tears. She turned her face away, trying to avoid me.
I knew I had to let go, or something bad would happen, because I knew myself, my little brother was hard
. Good heavens, what a mess!
As soon as my embrace loosened, she stepped out, unconsciously wiping her face, and said anxiously,
"Oh dear—look at you—coming here today and crying like this, really! Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I
have to buy groceries tomorrow morning, I want to go to sleep." She sensed my panicked words, and I felt I had indeed gone too far.
I had to thank her for the excuse, and quickly said, "I'm sorry, Mom, I got too emotional. Yes, I have to go to work tomorrow too. You should get some rest, get some rest." I don't know how I got back to my bedroom, but I know I 　　didn't sleep for a long time
that night .
