A month ago, my sister-in-law still hugged my arm affectionately and said coquettishly: "Sister-in-law, you are so good, we can go shopping together in the future and whisper!" My husband stood by the side, dissatisfied and pulled my sister-in-law's hand away from my arm, and said jealously: "Don't rob my wife with me!" Then, the two actually got into a ball. Standing on the sidelines, I watched this fight and felt that this is the warm atmosphere that a family should have.
However, I never expected that this warm scene would become the beginning of a nightmare.
My name is Lu Xiaotang and I am 30 years old this year. My husband is the same age as me and is my college classmate. When we fell in love, I knew that his family had a big supermarket, and he was going back to inherit the family business after graduation. Initially, I thought the plan sounded good. Although the supermarket he calls is not big, it is not bad to be a boss. We have lived in a big city for four years and are used to the pace of life here, and, after graduation, my husband and I both thought that first-tier cities had more room for development, so we decided to stay here.
However, when my husband took me back to his house for the first time and expressed to my in-laws our desire to stay in the big city and develop, my father-in-law sighed, and my mother-in-law firmly objected, and even blamed me for not returning to the countryside for my son. When my mother-in-law pointed at my nose and scolded, I fell silent. Fortunately, her sister-in-law's humor broke the tension, and she persuaded her mother-in-law to say, "Mom, I like my sister-in-law. Besides, my brother stayed in the big city, and I did. Moreover, my brother is easily exposed to the wind, and I am your little padded jacket. She even winked at me. The sister-in-law's words instantly changed the atmosphere, and the mother-in-law also softened, touched the sister-in-law's head and said: "All listen to Yaya, I just need to have a small cotton jacket!" ”
This sister-in-law who assists me makes me full of love for her. According to her husband, her mother-in-law had always longed to have a daughter, so even under the family planning policy, she gave birth to her daughter when her husband was seven years old. This caused the mother-in-law to lose her job, even though she was the small leader of the factory. However, the mother-in-law was a strong woman, she started to set up a stall, soon earned her first pot of gold, bought a house, and had the big brother that everyone envied in that era. The shift made those who had denounced her envious. The mother-in-law believes that if she had not given birth to her daughter, she might not have been sued and would not have the opportunity to earn her first pot of gold. Therefore, she has always regarded her sister-in-law as her lucky star.
When my sister-in-law was seven or eight years old, she had to travel to Beijing, so her mother-in-law brought the whole family to Beijing for a three-day tour. It was in that year that the mother-in-law saw the supermarket and came up with the idea of running a supermarket. After returning, she opened her own supermarket, and the business became more and more prosperous, although it was only a single store, but the business was thriving. The mother-in-law attributed all these achievements to her sister-in-law.
Although the in-laws all dote on their sister-in-law, she is very sensible. After my husband and I got married, my sister-in-law often contacted me to share the whispers of the little girl, and I knew that she studied very hard in high school, so every time I had a holiday, I invited her to my home. However, the sister-in-law always politely refused on the grounds of heavy schoolwork. Therefore, every time my husband and I go back to my mother-in-law's house, we bring many gifts to my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law hugged my arm and coquettishly, pulled me in the morning to prevent me from getting up, and made my mother-in-law sigh: "You two are not like sisters-in-law and sister-in-law, like sisters." ”
As time went on, my sister-in-law went to college, and she still shared little secrets between girls with me. However, she has a lively personality and always travels with her classmates, so she has never visited my home.
In the past three years, due to the impact of the epidemic, the living environment has become not very good. After her sister-in-law graduated last year, she wanted to stay in the city where she was studying, but her mother-in-law was worried about the epidemic and insisted that she go home to help. My sister-in-law had asked me
I complained that small cities are boring and there is nothing fun. Therefore, I invited her to my house many times, but she always declined my invitation on the pretext of busy studies.
Despite this, every time my husband and I go back to my mother-in-law's house, we still bring a lot of gifts to my sister-in-law to express our care and love. My sister-in-law has always been very close to me, and we have always maintained a close relationship, even sharing little secrets between girls.
However, in the past month, life has been particularly restless due to the epidemic. Last year, after graduating, my sister-in-law wanted to stay in the city to develop due to the epidemic, but her mother-in-law insisted that she go home and help at the supermarket at home. My sister-in-law told me that she found life in a small city very boring and had little entertainment to participate in. Therefore, I invited her to my house again, but due to the severe impact of the epidemic, she was unable to make the trip every time.
Just a month ago, my mother-in-law suddenly called and asked my husband and I to give up the master bedroom to my sister-in-law, let her come to our house for a few days, and if she can find a suitable job, she will live with us for a long time. My mother-in-law said to me, "You two work hard, give up the master bedroom to Yaya, and you will take good care of her when she comes." Hearing this, I was angry and funny. Although I welcome my sister-in-law to my house, our house is only two bedrooms and the baby is only three years old now, so our family of three sleeps in the master bedroom. The room is too small to fit an extra bed, it will be very crowded if our family of three is crammed inside. Originally, I wanted to have a few words with my mother-in-law, but my husband took my hand and said, "Mom is too strong, do you think we can explain it clearly?" Yaya will not stay for a long time, let's be aggrieved and stay in the guest room first. Looking at my husband's pleading eyes, I felt sorry for him because he had always been a spoiled girl, so I nodded and agreed to him.
But I think my sister-in-law is a sensible girl, and when she comes, I will let her live in the guest room, and she should understand. However, on the first day my sister-in-law came, the house became smoky and miasmatic.
That afternoon, I took a special leave to pick up my sister-in-law at the station, take her shopping, and we went to the restaurant together in the evening. After returning home, I said to my sister-in-law: "Yaya, the master bedroom has a lot of space, but you can't fit an extra bed, so you can stay in the guest room for the time being, which is also a double bed." The sister-in-law agreed with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, I can live anywhere." ”
However, at nine o'clock that night, the mother-in-law suddenly called her husband and cried: "You bastard, if you have a wife, you forget your mother, Yaya came to your house as a guest, how can you let her live in a guest room?" The mother-in-law emphasized: "Since Xiaotang married into our family, she should obey in her in-laws' family." My husband reluctantly agreed to his mother-in-law's request to change the bedroom to his sister-in-law. I was firmly against it, thinking that if my sister-in-law lived in the master bedroom, I would divorce. My mother-in-law called every day to say that I had driven my sister-in-law home, interrupted her future, and my husband was in a dilemma.
This discordant incident has passed for a while, and then I heard my husband say that not long ago, my sister-in-law's boyfriend came to visit her grandmother, and my mother-in-law was not optimistic about my sister-in-law's boyfriend, so she had a dispute with him. I hope that my mother-in-law and sister-in-law's boyfriend can solve the problems between them so that my life can return to peace.
