My name is Li Juan, I am 28 years old this year, and I am a girl in an ordinary city. After a broken marriage four years ago, the wounds inside me haven't fully healed.
It was a sunny spring, and I happened to have a few days off during the holidays and went to my in-laws' house to work for my husband.
On this day, I came to my in-laws' house as usual. The in-laws' surname is Zhang, and he is 54 years old this year, stable and personable.
Gradually, I found myself feeling a little unusual about this in-laws.
Once, the in-laws proposed to hold a wedding in the square at the entrance of the community. She hopes to share the event with her neighbors.
I turned my head and looked into his sincere eyes, feeling a warmth in my heart. Perhaps moved by the sincerity of my in-laws, I agreed to his marriage proposal.
On the wedding day, the square was bustling. Neighbors came to congratulate us. I wore a red wedding dress, which looked particularly beautiful.
We held hands and walked solemnly and happily on the red carpet. At that moment, I felt the endless blessing and love of my family and neighbors.
I approached my father-in-law and begged him to explain to me what the money was for. The father-in-law frowned and said, "Juan'er, I know that you care a lot about this money, but this money is all for our future."
I listened to my in-laws' words, and my heart began to ripple again. Perhaps it is my past that makes me sensitive to money.
After this incident, I decided to let go of my heart and cherish the love given by my in-laws. Every day, I would tell my troubles and happiness in the ear of my in-laws.
Gradually, I found that I no longer just regarded my in-laws as relatives, but really regarded him as family.
Although our marriage began because of the matchmaking of daughters-in-law, now I have seen the hope and warmth of this family.
Every relationship needs to go through a baptism of contradiction and difficulty in order to be truly strong. In my in-laws, I saw an inevitable generation gap between us.
As time went by, my relationship with my in-laws became stronger and stronger, and we had many wonderful times.
On this day, I had just come home from school and saw my in-laws sitting on the sofa with a serious face. I asked with some doubt: "Father-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Is there something going on? The in-laws sighed deeply, and then said, "Juan'er, I have noticed that we are spending more and more recently, have you noticed?" ”。
I listened to my in-laws' words, and my heart sank. I began to check the household expenses nervously and found that there were indeed quite a few additional expenses.
My father-in-law looked at me with worry on his face: "Juan'er, I'm not blaming you, I'm just worried about our financial situation, after all, our economic pressure is not small."
I was silent for a while, and then solemnly said to my in-laws: "Father-in-law, you can trust me, I will pay more attention to the cost and try to reduce your burden."
When my father-in-law heard my answer, he showed a gratifying smile: "Juan'er, you are still so sensible, I believe you can do it."
I nodded, a firm determination welling up in my heart. I understand that family harmony is not only a blend of feelings, but also requires financial support and mutual understanding.
As the days passed, I began to pay attention to the expenses of the family, and every expenditure was carefully considered.
Every weekend, we would go to the supermarket to buy ingredients, and my in-laws would always teach me how to choose fresh fruits and vegetables.
Gradually, I also noticed the changes in my in-laws. He no longer worries about family expenses, but pays more attention to the happiness of me and the family.
However, as our lives go more smoothly, a new contradiction arises.
One day, I received an anonymous letter with some negative rumors about my in-laws. I looked at it in shock with the stationery, unable to believe it was real.
With apprehension, I took the letter to my father-in-law. He took the letter paper, his face solemn, and he was silent.
"In-laws, do you believe me? These rumors must have been spread by people with ulterior motives. I looked anxiously at my father-in-law, my eyes full of uneasiness and pleading.
The in-laws slowly raised their heads and looked at me firmly: "Juan'er, I understand you, I believe in you." These rumors do not shake the relationship between us.
I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at my in-laws lovingly, my heart full of warmth. Sometimes, family affection is not only about blood relations, but more importantly, trust and protection.
We decided to face these false rumors and go on firmly. Although someone wants to break the relationship between us, we have an unshakable trust and love.
After a period of time together, my relationship with my in-laws became more and more intimate. However, conflicts in the family also quietly arise.
That night, I couldn't help but bring it up. The in-laws' face changed slightly, and he tried to explain calmly: "Juan'er, that girl is an intern in my company, and there are many things that need her help at work, so we often discuss work matters together.
I tried to keep myself calm, but the doubts and uneasiness in my heart still couldn't be calmed. Was it my sensitivity and over-interpretation that caused all this?
In the days that followed, I tried to re-establish trust in my in-laws, but the shadow lingered.
Some of his words and demeanor also made me wonder if he was serious about me.
Every day was hard, and the inner insecurity and contradictions prevented me from achieving true happiness. I began to wonder if the marriage was the right choice and whether it should continue to be carried out.
One night, my in-laws and I were sitting on the balcony, and the night breeze was blowing. I finally couldn't help it, held his hand, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Father-in-law, I have some uncertainties and doubts about you, but I don't want to give up our marriage because of this."
My father-in-law gently stroked my hair, and his eyes were full of understanding and love: "Juan'er, I understand your worries, but you have to believe me, my feelings for you are real."
His sincerity and firmness warmed my heart. Perhaps, I should give my in-laws a chance to re-examine our marriage.
Perhaps the reason for this contradiction is the lack of communication and understanding between us, which allows mutual misunderstanding and suspicion to breed.
As the days passed, my marriage with my in-laws became more stable and happy. However, fate seems to soon bring us new tests.
Finally, he sighed deeply and said reluctantly: "Juan'er, you know that I once ran a company. But due to some force majeure, there were some problems in the company, and I had to take some measures to deal with it.
I listened dumbfounded, looking at my in-laws in disbelief. The shadow of the past gradually expanded in my heart, and I could not accept the fact that my in-laws had hid it.
"Why didn't you tell me? Why hide this huge secret? "I couldn't control my emotions and tears welled up in my eyes.
My father-in-law gently held my hand, and his voice was full of apologies: "Juan'er, I didn't dare to face this problem for fear of letting you leave me."
I couldn't speak, and the contradictions and questions in my heart left me at a loss. I originally thought our marriage was built on honesty and trust, but now it is shaky.
The days went on and I began to suffer the inner struggle alone. Every day, I maintain a skeptical attitude towards my in-laws.
However, after a few months, I gradually understood a truth. Family affection is an inseparable emotional bond, and it will not be easily broken because of a momentary contradiction.
One day, I saw my in-laws talking to themselves in the mirror in his study, "What a fool, I can't even hide my past."
I stood behind my father-in-law, gently patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, I know that you are hiding this secret to protect me.
You are my father-in-law and my family. Whatever happens, we have to face it and solve it together.
The in-laws turned around, and a reassuring smile appeared in his eyes. "Juan'er, thank you for your understanding and tolerance. You made me understand that there is no substitute for the strength between family members.
Since that day, my relationship with my in-laws has returned to the warmth and intimacy of the past. We began to support each other and face life's challenges together.
Now, I understand the preciousness and preciousness of family affection. Family is a harbor to support and care for you, and the support of loved ones is priceless wealth.
In the past few years, my married life with my in-laws has been full of sweetness and happiness. His meticulous care and love for me made me feel the warmth and happiness between my family.
One afternoon, I decided to have a frank conversation with my in-laws. I told him that while his concern warmed me, I also wanted him to give more freedom and trust in my life.
After hearing this, his expression was a little complicated. He admitted that he might have gone too far, but explained that he was deeply worried and loving about me.
He said he didn't want to see me wronged and sad again.
I understand my in-laws' feelings, and I know that he is sincere with me. However, I also believe that mutual trust and respect are important cornerstones of a healthy marriage.
The in-laws were silent for a moment, and finally nodded. He told me that he would try to change himself and respect my individual needs and choices.
Since then, I have gradually felt the change in my in-laws. He no longer bothered me in every detail or tried to interfere excessively in my life.
Our marriage began to rebalance and we had many wonderful times together. I've found that problems in marriage can be solved as long as we are willing to listen and understand each other's needs.
Conflicts in the family are inevitable, but as long as we understand and care for each other, everything will be better.
