Just today, my mother-in-law came to me again and instructed me to cook a delicious meal for my brother-in-law who came back from other places, saying that it was to honor my relatives who I hadn't seen for many days. I feel very bad in my heart, I have just given birth to a child, I am already fragile and sensitive, and now I am forced to serve tea and food to other men, how can my mother-in-law be so heartless?
"Mother-in-law, I'm still very weak now, and I can't afford to take care of the housework, so don't ask me to serve my brother-in-law. "I begged bitterly.
"You are a daughter-in-law, and it is a matter of course to serve your family, why do you even push back on this matter?" The mother-in-law said impatiently, "When I gave birth to your husband, I went to work again in less than a month." You young people are really useless now, you will only covet comfort!"
When I heard my mother-in-law say this, I thought to myself, can her situation compare to mine? She lived in her old house and had a large group of relatives to help take care of her, but now she is alone. But I couldn't talk back to my elders, so I could only endure my grievances and go to the kitchen.
The little uncle was sitting at the dining table playing with his mobile phone, and when he saw me coming, he hurriedly said, "Oh, our virtuous little daughter-in-law is here! ”
I forced out a smile and replied angrily, "Okay uncle, I'll try to cook a home-cooked meal, you can rest outside first." ”
The little uncle laughed and went to the living room, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he first came yesterday, I was also called by my mother-in-law to cook, and he kept staring at me, telling jokes that made me uncomfortable, and I could only avoid him as much as possible. If my husband were here, he would never tolerate such rude behavior.
I fried a few simple dishes as soon as possible, and wanted to serve them to my brother-in-law as soon as possible. Who knew that as soon as I brought the food to the table, my brother-in-law moved a chair and came over, very close to me.
"Oh, our little daughter-in-law is so good at crafting, I'll come to eat every day in the future. He said as he reached out to touch my hair.
I dodged in a hurry, my heart pounding. Then I made an excuse to escape the dining room and went back to my bedroom.
After a while, my mother-in-law knocked on my door and said dissatisfiedly, "I asked you to cook a meal for my brother-in-law, but you only made half of it and ran away, what do you mean?"
I didn't know how to explain it to my mother-in-law, so I could only say, "Mother-in-law, I'm really weak and tired from cooking, so let me rest." ”
"Okay, you're a useless thing, I support you for food and shelter all up to you to help the family share something, that's all you need?" The mother-in-law snorted coldly and threw the door away.
I sat down on the bed, tears streaming down my cheeks. I was like a useless burden, disappointing my mother-in-law and brother-in-law. I miss my Kobayashi and I need him to be there for me to support me and protect me. We are obviously so affectionate, but there are always so many unsatisfactory after marriage. I wish he would come back as soon as possible and join me in fighting these injustices.
At this moment, I received a phone call, it was from Kobayashi! When I received a call from Xiaolin, I was overjoyed and hurriedly picked it up: "Hey, dear, you called just in time, I really miss you!"
On the other end of the phone, Xiao Lin said gently: "I miss you very much, you have been working hard in your hometown alone during this time, right? I'm sorry I can't be by your side, the new project is too busy." ”
I whispered, "I'm fine, just concentrate on your work, don't worry about me." "I can't bear to let him worry about my predicament.
Xiao Lin seemed to notice my abnormality, and asked with concern: "Why do you hear that your tone is a little wrong? Is my mother making you bad? Tell me if you are unhappy!"
"No, it's really good, don't worry. I pretended to be relaxed and said, "I'm already happy to have you calling, let's get down to business." ”
"Really? Great!" I screamed with joy.
"Yes, I can't wait to meet you and the child. You must have worked hard during this time, and I will take good care of you when I go back. Kobayashi said softly.
After hanging up, I excitedly walked around the room a few times, determined to hold out until Kobayashi returned, no matter what happened. I know that with him, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.
At dinnertime, my mother-in-law happily announced, "Guess what's the good news? Your husband's work has been completed ahead of schedule, and he will be back with you next week!"
I smiled and nodded, and the little uncle muttered on the side, "It's because he's not here that I came here for a few days." Tsk, it's not interesting. ”
"Hey, why did you suddenly get distracted?" My mother-in-law shook her hand in front of my eyes.
"Oh, it's okay, I'm just so happy. "I came to my senses.
"Okay, okay, what's the pleasure?" The mother-in-law waved her hand and said, "Hurry up and clean up and give your husband a tidy home." ”
My heart sank again. My mother-in-law should be most happy for her son's homecoming, so why do I just want to be happy for myself? But for the prospect of Xiaolin's return, I still gritted my teeth and went to do housework.
I shook my head and forced a smile, "I'm fine, I just miss you so much." ”
Xiao Lin frowned and said, "What's the matter, someone is bullying you, isn't it? You tell me the truth, if you have any grievances, just say it!"
I looked at Kobayashi's determined eyes in the video, my nose was sour, and I finally couldn't help choking.
Xiao Lin's face became more and more ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "How can he hurt the heavens and reason like this! My mother is too much, she called you not long after you gave birth." I'll have to settle accounts with them when I get back!"
I was startled and hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, my pain is nothing compared to them, and we still have to be filial to the old man." ”
"I will never allow this kind of transgression!" Xiao Lin had a tough attitude, "I will protect you and the child, and never let you suffer any more grievances!"
I was deeply moved by his domineering declaration of protection, and thought to myself that this is the man I have handed over my life. With him, I never had to face problems alone.
"Be careful on the road, I'll take care of myself and wait for you to come back. "I was moved to tears again.
When I hung up, I felt as if I had regained my courage and strength. As long as we are united, there is no difficulty to overcome.
"Hey, what are you doing in a daze?" My mother-in-law's voice pulled me back to reality, "Have you cleaned up your husband's room?"
"Packed up. I replied.
The mother-in-law nodded, and then instructed: "When he comes back, you can't talk to him nonsense, just say that he is doing well at home." What's the use of complaining every day?"
I didn't answer, thinking that even if you didn't let me tell me, I would definitely tell Xiaolin the truth.
"Thank you for your hard work, please rest assured that I am here. Kobayashi whispered in my ear.
With tears in my eyes, I nodded. He's my dependence.
I knew she was trying to interrupt and not let Kobayashi ask me what had happened. I plucked up the courage to speak: "Then let's let Xiao Lin rest first, he has a long journey, he should have a good rest." ”
Mother-in-law's face changed slightly, but it was not good to force Xiaolin to stay. I took this opportunity and took Xiaolin to the bedroom.
I poured out all the unhappiness of these days to him, and his face became more and more ugly.
I hurriedly took his hand and said softly, "Don't be angry, I believe that my mother-in-law and brother-in-law are not bad people in nature, but only occasionally do wrong things." We still have to forgive them and communicate slowly. ”
Xiao Lin was still angry: "What they have done has exceeded the bottom line, I must give an explanation, otherwise I don't know what will happen in the future!"
I saw that Xiao Lin was really excited, and I didn't persuade him anymore, just nodded.
At dinner, Kobayashi sat down at the table with a dark face, took a few bites of food, dropped the dishes and chopsticks, and left the table.
The mother-in-law looked at his back in surprise and said to me, "What's wrong with this child?
I was silent, knowing that Kobayashi was angry.
After a while, Xiao Lin came back, didn't look at his mother-in-law and brother-in-law, and said directly to me, "Let's go out and talk." ”
I got up and followed him to the courtyard, and Xiao Lin said in a deep voice: "I want to confront my mother-in-law and brother-in-law face to face, you must stand on my side, you know?"
I nodded, thinking that I really couldn't escape this level.
When we returned to the dining room, Xiao Lin propped his hands on the table and looked directly at his mother-in-law and brother-in-law: "I know how you treat my wife these days! I absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of thing." ”
The mother-in-law sneered: "Oh, what is not good, we are all a family." ”
"Can a family disturb other people's privacy at will, or even be indecent?" Kobayashi raised his voice.
"You!" The mother-in-law's face changed, "Who dares to be rude? Don't believe her nonsense!"
I hurriedly explained: "It's my brother-in-law who keeps touching me and saying that I want to cook for him every day, which really bothers me." ”
The little uncle was unconvinced and said: "I just said it casually, how can I take it seriously? Xiaolin, don't listen to the wind and rain." ”
"I believe in my wife!" Kobayashi made a loud noise.
The three of them were at an impasse, and I watched with trepidation.
At this time, the mother-in-law suddenly burst into tears and laughed, and said, "Haha, I know what's going on! Our Xiaohuan is usually too capable of you, and I told her to do more things as soon as she gave birth, and she was not happy." Didn't I tell her to clean up the room yesterday, and she did it obediently. ”
The mother-in-law and the brother-in-law were shocked and looked at each other. I know that we won this battle.
"You unfilial son!" The mother-in-law pointed at Xiao Lin and scolded angrily, "We are bent on letting your daughter-in-law recover her health as soon as possible, and you are a thief and a thief!"
"I advise you not to sow discord!" Xiao Lin did not show weakness, "Hurting my wife is hurting me, I will never tolerate your eccentric behavior!"
"Okay, you disrespectful elders, don't expect me to take care of you from now on!" The mother-in-law was so angry that she stomped her foot.
"Okay, I don't need you to take care of it. Kobayashi said coldly.
My mother-in-law was stunned, she trembled and wanted to say something, Xiao Lin directly picked me up and walked out.
"You're guts fat enough!" The little brother-in-law shouted behind us, "Dare to talk to your mother-in-law like this, you can't go!"
Xiao Lin pulled me away from the scene without looking back. I know that with his character, he is really on fire this time.
Back in the bedroom, Xiao Lin sat heavily on the edge of the bed, and I walked over and gently held his hand: "It's all my fault, provoking you and the elders to turn their faces." ”
Xiao Lin took me in his arms and whispered, "There is nothing wrong with you, it is they who have gone too far." To protect you, I can turn my face with anyone. ”
I nestled in Kobayashi's arms, and an unprecedented sense of security rose in my heart. With him, I don't have to swallow my anger anymore.
Xiao Lin took me to see a few houses, and finally chose a small courtyard not far from the old house but independent and quiet. The owners are a kind old couple who are sympathetic to our plight and promise to lower the rent.
And just like that, we quickly moved into our new home. The mother-in-law and brother-in-law knew that they were wrong, and they didn't come to entangle.
I was relieved to finally have my own little world. Xiao Lin took me in his arms and said softly, "The unpleasantness of the past, let's let it pass away with the wind." From now on, we will only be closer. ”
I hugged my husband and children, tears of happiness in my eyes. I think that through this turmoil, we have become stronger.
After a few more days, Xiao Lin proposed to go to the old mansion to explain the matter clearly and give everyone an explanation. I hesitated, but I was moved by what he said.
Back at the old house, the brother-in-law was not there, only the mother-in-law was at home. We asked my mother-in-law to sit down, and Kobayashi opened her mouth first.
"Mom, I'm sorry for what happened before, but I was in a bad temper. I don't mean to break with you, I just hope that you will support and respect our decision. ”
When my mother-in-law heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red: "I know it's me who is not good, I am always confused, and I always want to follow the old way." My daughter-in-law has worked hard, and I'm going to embarrass her again. ”
Seeing that my mother-in-law is also self-aware, the knot in my heart was untied. We chatted warmly for a while, and the atmosphere finally eased up.
People always have to go through some ups and downs to see themselves and each other clearly. I believe that from now on, we will be more tolerant towards our families. With Kobayashi by my side, I have nothing to fear.
After this turmoil, my relationship with Kobayashi became stronger. Kobayashi is more considerate of me, he will take the initiative to clean the room, prepare a hearty meal, and let me rest as much as possible. I also admired his character and responsibility even more, he stood up for me and rebuilt my courage to face life.
However, my relationship with my mother-in-law did not improve. Although we were reconciled, my mother-in-law still had a grudge against me in her heart. She would find all sorts of excuses to avoid me, and even when she got along, she was very reserved. I tried to take the initiative to communicate, but she always flickered and prevaricated.
One day, the little uncle suddenly came to visit. When I saw him, a faint fear rose in my heart. Xiao Lin stepped forward to stand in front of me and warned my uncle to stay away from us.
"Wait, I'm here to apologize. The little uncle raised his hands, "I felt deeply guilty for my inappropriate words and deeds before. I'm really sorry, please give me a chance to be a new person. ”
I hesitated, and Kobayashi said, "As long as you don't repeat such mistakes in the future, we can forgive you." But you have to promise me. ”
The uncle nodded heavily and bowed to us. This scene surprised me, I didn't expect him to admit his mistake and apologize. Maybe there will be a time when people will mend their ways, and I decided to give him a chance.
Since then, my brother-in-law has never been rude to me, and has kept a polite distance from me. The mother-in-law's attitude towards him is obviously much closer, and she will call him from time to time to tell him to live. I can't help but wonder, what is the reason for my mother-in-law's different vision?
One day, when my brother-in-law came to visit, I suddenly mentioned this matter, and I suddenly realized. It turned out that the younger brother-in-law was the eldest son born to my mother-in-law in her early years, and after my father-in-law died early, he has been by my mother-in-law's side. And Xiaolin's father was born after his mother-in-law remarried, so his mother-in-law has a special preference for his brother-in-law.
After understanding this relationship, I began to reflect on whether I was too harsh on my mother-in-law for being biased. As a mother, she has her own difficulties. I decided to take the initiative and reconnect with my mother-in-law.
Accompanied by Kobayashi, I went to my mother-in-law's house and brought her favorite snacks. My mother-in-law was a little surprised at first, but she still let us into the house and sit down.
The mother-in-law was a little excited when she heard this, nodded and said, "I am also wrong, I only see my own difficulties and ignore your feelings." Let's repair the relationship. ”
My mother-in-law and I hugged each other tightly, and Kobayashi looked at us with emotion. I know that with understanding and good intentions, any rift can be healed slowly. This turmoil has made us more mature and more tolerant.
After this turmoil, my relationship with Kobayashi has deepened, and I have sincerely repaired my relationship with my mother-in-law. We often went back to the old house to visit my mother-in-law, and she gradually relieved us and stopped mentioning the unhappiness of the past.
In this way, the days passed calmly and warmly. Until one day, my mother-in-law suddenly called and said in an anxious tone that my brother-in-law had a car accident and was still being treated in the hospital, so let's hurry over.
Xiao Lin and I immediately drove to the hospital, only to see my brother-in-law lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, and my mother-in-law sitting on the side holding his hand tightly. A deep feeling of pity welled up in my heart, my brother-in-law was a member of this family after all, and I should not hold a grudge against him.
The doctor said that the uncle was seriously injured and was no longer in serious trouble, but he needed to recuperate. Since he lives alone, there will be some trouble after being discharged from the hospital. Kobayashi and I looked at each other and said that we could let him move in with us and take care of his daily life.
"Is that okay? Thank you so much!" The mother-in-law burst into tears with excitement. I know it means a lot to her.
A week later, my brother-in-law's injuries stabilized, and he was discharged from the hospital and came to our house. At first, everyone was a little reserved, but Kobayashi and I did our best to make him feel comfortable. Gradually, we became a harmonious family.
After dinner, my brother-in-law suddenly asked to see me and Xiaolin. He sat across from us and said solemnly, "I am truly grateful that you have taken me in, even though I do not deserve such forgiveness. From now on, I will be a new person and repay your kindness. ”
I looked at the remorseful man in front of me and couldn't help but redden. I said, "You are a member of this family, we forgive you and hope you can live a meaningful life." ”
"I will. The little uncle said firmly.
Since then, there has been no ill meaning between my brother's words, and he has become a member of our family. My mother-in-law was also very pleased and often came to visit everyone.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, our children have gone to school to speak. One day, my brother-in-law excitedly told us that he was going to open a car repair shop and make a living as his own boss. We were all very happy for him and encouraged him to make sure he opened the store well.
On the opening day, our whole family went to the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The little uncle's face was filled with confidence and joy that had not been seen for a long time. I know that he has finally regained his dignity and meaning as a human being. The pain of the past has precipitated over time, and we have all become better.
One can never be wrongly defined for a lifetime. Giving others the opportunity to grow and giving yourself the opportunity to be tolerant is the wisdom of life. Through the ups and downs, we have all become more tolerant. This also makes me firmly believe that every turmoil in life will eventually find its own meaning in the precipitation of time.
