Standing outside the door was a young and beautiful woman, my father's new wife, my stepmother.
The stepmother walked into the house, her eyes a little uneasy. She sat on the edge of my bed and I sat at my desk. At this time, the room became unusually quiet, only the sound of breathing between us.
The stepmother looked at me and said with a trembling voice: "You know that I am your father's new wife, right?" But, I hope you understand that I'm not with your dad for money.
I listened to my stepmother's words and was a little surprised. I thought she came to me to get angry, but I didn't expect her to communicate with me.
The stepmother bit her lip and seemed to make up her mind, she said: "I know that you are resistant to me, and I want to change all this with actions."
My eyes widened and I couldn't believe my ears. 1 million? That's a huge amount for a family.
I remember my dad once told me that money is not everything, but with money you can solve many problems.
I stared at my stepmother, hesitated, and finally rejected her kindness. I said, "Stepmother, money is indeed important, but it cannot replace family affection and sincerity.
After listening to my words, my stepmother showed a relieved smile on her face. She patted me lightly on the shoulder and said gratefully: "Child, you are really a sensible child."
We will get along slowly and hopefully our relationship will get better.
Hearing my stepmother's answer, I felt a warm current welling up in my heart. I know that even gold and silver mountains cannot replace the sincerity of family affection.
My stepmother and I finally got out of our initial embarrassment, and we gradually established an intimate relationship. She listened to my troubles like a friend, giving me advice and help.
However, fate quietly changes behind all this beauty. One night, I was reading a book in my study when I heard the sound of my father and stepmother arguing downstairs.
I vaguely heard my stepmother respond in a trembling voice: "Don't you understand? The child now needs more attention and affection, and you always ignore his presence.
The quarrel grew louder and louder, and I froze, feeling a pang of panic. I never thought that there would be such a conflict between my father and my stepmother, and it was because of me.
I went downstairs, walked up to them, and said in a trembling voice: "Dad, stepmother, don't fight over me."
Dad looked at me and sneered, "You care about us now?" Do you think how your stepmother treats you well and leaves me aside? You want me to divorce my stepmother, right? ”
I looked at my father in amazement, unable to believe that he would have such suspicions. I quickly explained: "Dad, you misunderstood.
I just hope that we can live in harmony and understand and respect each other.
Dad looked at the stepmother, was silent for a moment, and finally released his fist. He said softly, "Well, since you said so, then I will try to understand you."
I breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little comfort. Although there are still contradictions between father and stepmother, at least they can listen to each other's opinions and compromises.
This argument made me understand the importance of family even more. It is not only a harbor for a person, but also a support for everyone's emotions.
When my stepmother and I began to gradually establish a family relationship, a new contradictory event appeared.
That night, I was watching TV in my room when I suddenly heard my stepmother and dad. They seemed to be arguing about something, louder and louder.
I felt a little uneasy and hurried out of the room to see what was going on. When I walked to the living room, I saw my stepmother shouting at my father in anger: "How can you treat children like this!" You always spoil him and never teach him! ”。
Dad looked a little embarrassed, but did not refute it. The stepmother continued: "You know, it is not good for him to go on like this.
Dad was silent for a moment and sighed: "I know, I also have my shortcomings." However, children need more love and understanding than excessive criticism and blame.
Hearing my father's words, I felt a little dissatisfied in my heart. I felt that my father was always partial to me and made me seem very willful.
This quarrel made the atmosphere at home tense. I looked at them, not knowing what to say. Suddenly, I stood up and said, "Dad, stepmother, I understand your worries.
But at the same time, I hope you can give me some trust and freedom to learn to face problems and grow on my own.
Dad and stepmother exchanged glances, and they both seemed to think about my words. After a moment, Dad showed a gentle smile: "Child, I understand your thoughts."
The stepmother also nodded, and the expression on her face softened a lot: "Yes, we are just worried about your future." We want to see you become an independent and responsible person.
I am very relieved to know that this family is still full of love. This quarrel has become a deeper communication between us, and I believe that on the basis of family affection, we will be able to resolve the conflict and move towards a better future.
I was impressed by my stepmother's sincerity, and we began to work hard to improve our relationship with each other. She took the initiative to care about my studies and life, and sometimes prepared me small snacks that I liked.
However, the conflicts in the family were not completely resolved. My dad traveled a lot and was often away from home, while my stepmother was often alone with me.
One night, I was watching TV when my stepmother suddenly walked into the living room.
She watched me enjoying the plot of the TV series with some displeasure, and said with some displeasure: "Child, you only care about watching TV every day, and never help me do some housework."
After listening to my stepmother's complaints, I felt a little aggrieved. Although I understand her hard work, I also have my own things to do.
I tried to explain: "Stepmother, I also have a lot of homework to complete, I will try to help you, but you also have to understand my situation."
My stepmother listened to my reply and looked a little disappointed: "I know you are stressed, but family is a shared responsibility for everyone.
We need more communication and understanding.
I was stunned for a moment, and I understood what my stepmother meant. I realized that only by being honest with each other can we truly resolve our conflicts.
We should have more mutual understanding and support, and I will care more about the family and help you share the pressure of housework.
My stepmother listened to my promise and smiled with relief on her face. She came over, hugged me gently, and said, "Child, you are such a good boy who understands things."
After listening to my words, my stepmother's expression was slightly lost, but then it returned to normal. Our interaction gradually became more harmonious, and she also began to participate in my life, help me solve my study problems, and spend a lot of fun with me.
However, the conflicts in the family have not completely disappeared. Over time, I discovered the disturbing truth – my stepmother was interfering more in my life.
One night, I was quietly reading a book in my room when I suddenly heard my stepmother shouting: "Why don't you sleep so late?" Do you know how important your studies are? I looked up a little surprised and looked at my stepmother's angry face.
"I just want to read a book for a while, it won't affect my studies." I replied cautiously.
The stepmother gritted her teeth with anger in her eyes: "Don't make excuses for me!" Do you know how those trendy little vase friends can influence you? You should focus on learning instead of wasting time on them! ”
I was irritated by my stepmother's words and said angrily: "Why are you accusing me like that? Do you think you are my real mother? You don't know me and you don't know my friends! ”
The stepmother was stimulated by my words, and she clenched her fists angrily: "You talk to me like this, maybe I am not your own, but you have to respect me!" ”
Soon after, I was sitting in the living room, breathing deeply, trying to calm my emotions. The stepmother silently walked into the living room, her eyes full of guilt.
"Kid, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you like that. The stepmother said softly.
I looked at my stepmother and felt guilty in my heart. No matter what happens, she is my father's wife and my stepmother after all.
We are a family, we need to understand each other and come together.
The stepmother's eyes were a little moist, and she nodded gently: "You are right, we need to communicate and understand better."
My stepmother and I promised each other, and from that day on, we started working harder to learn how to get along. We understand that conflicts in the family are inevitable, but as long as we maintain love and tolerance, we can overcome all difficulties.
