It was drizzling that day, and I hurried to walk down the alley home. Suddenly, an unexpected encounter stopped me.
"Thank you, young man. The old woman smiled and said gratefully.
"No thanks, I'll take you home. "I offered it.
The old woman nodded, and together we came to the door of a small dilapidated courtyard. As she fumbled for the key, she said to me, "You are a good boy, and you will have a happy family when you grow up."
I smiled and nodded, and helped the old woman into the house. She closed the door, and I turned and left the courtyard. At that moment, I had no idea that this unexpected encounter would be a turning point in my life.
It wasn't long before I had a conflict with my family. I thought that life after marriage would be smooth sailing, but I didn't expect that the life of a bride after marriage would be extremely difficult.
She always interfered in my life, consciously or unconsciously picking on my every word and deed, which made me feel very depressed and unhappy.
Carefully currying favor with her mother-in-law, only to be rewarded with her more domineering demands. ”
"The old lady said I would have a happy family in the future, and it was a joke. ”
After I got married, I regretted it more and more, I didn't know how to get along with my mother-in-law, and I didn't know how to deal with all these conflicts and disputes.
"Mother-in-law, I'll leave the grocery shopping to you. ”
"Okay, but just call me 'aunt' in the future. ”
I smiled at my mother-in-law, and from that moment on, I understood a truth: what families need is not strength, but tenderness and understanding.
When I saw my mother-in-law's satisfied smile, the contradiction and regret in my heart gradually dissipated. I began to try to play a more active and tolerant role in the family, and gradually, the conflicts in the family were resolved between me and my mother-in-law.
This unexpected encounter when I went home gave me a deeper understanding of family and family affection. I've learned that don't try to change people with your own ideas, it's better to be tolerant than to blame.
I obviously wanted to surprise him out of good intentions, but my husband's words instantly made me feel lost and frustrated.
I felt that my efforts were being misunderstood, and the smile on my face became a little reluctant. I don't know what to do, and the conflicts in the family seem to be back to square one.
I handed over the matter of cowardly grocery shopping to my mother-in-law, thinking that our relationship had been improving, but I didn't expect that a dinner episode brought us back to the past contradictions.
"Maybe my mother-in-law and my husband didn't understand my intentions, they only saw my mistakes, but they didn't feel my good intentions.
I tried to adjust my emotions and think about how to communicate with them, but the doubts and frustrations in my heart could not be dissipated.
"Perhaps, I really don't fit into this home. ”
However, when I wanted to leave alone, the old woman's words to me came back to mind. "You are a good boy and will definitely have a happy family when you grow up.
I couldn't help but think of her words, and my heart suddenly lit up.
The remorse dissipated, and I began to clear my thoughts. Perhaps, this is an opportunity to transform and grow.
"Tonight, I'm going to have a good talk with my husband and mother-in-law. "I made up my mind.
Next, I started to be more proactive in communicating with my husband and mother-in-law. Whenever there is a conflict, I will communicate in a more calm and rational way, and strive to find a solution that satisfies both parties.
This is very gratifying to me.
"I'm not alone, my family is my support. ”
I understand that the conflicts in the family are not something that I can solve alone, and only when everyone communicates with their hearts, and treats them with tolerance and understanding, can the family relationship become more harmonious and harmonious.
Home is a warm harbor. I decided to stop running away and resentful, and to face everything in the family with a more mature and rational attitude.
When the conflict between me and my mother-in-law gradually resolved, another unexpected incident happened.
One day, I put down what I was doing, prepared a table of meals, and invited my mother-in-law to dinner.
"I've made this food a little bit by fumbling around, you can taste it and see how it goes. I smiled and brought the dish to the table.
"The dishes you cook are very good, and you deserve to be a good daughter-in-law for the children. "I was very happy with my mother-in-law's compliment.
After a cheerful dinner, my mother-in-law knocked on my door and said to me with a solemn face, "I am seriously ill, and the doctor said that I need to recuperate in peace."
"Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you? I'll help you arrange everything. I tried to make my tone sound firm and powerful.
"The doctor said I had cancer and needed to be treated for a while, so you have to take care of the family. The mother-in-law said with a slight choked up.
In the face of this sudden news, I felt an indescribable heaviness. However, I know that what I need most at this moment is my strong support.
In the following days, I began to take on all the household chores at home and take care of my mother-in-law's daily life.
While the contradictions seem to be slowly dissipating, at the same time, new challenges are also emerging. I started to feel that the burden on my shoulders was getting heavier, and I had to take care of my mother-in-law, and at the same time, I was under a lot of pressure.
Looking up and watching the sky grow brighter, I knew it was already a new day. I went to the kitchen and helped my mother-in-law prepare breakfast.
But family conflicts were not as easy to resolve as I imagined, and new conflicts quietly arose.
"It must be the son-in-law who made the mother-in-law angry again, which is terrible. I was speculating in my mind.
Then I heard the sound of my mother-in-law and my husband arguing from the kitchen. I walked over quickly and noticed my mother-in-law's face full of anger.
"You taught my son so badly, why is it so useless!" the mother-in-law reproached her husband.
"I'm also doing it for your own good, and you always interfere in their lives, so it's not okay to go on like this. The husband said aggrievedly.
The focus of this conflict is clearly the relationship between me and my husband. My mother-in-law is always trying to control our lives, and my husband and I inevitably complain.
I don't know how to choose, whether to follow my mother-in-law's wishes or pursue our own ideal life with my husband.
This kind of entanglement and contradiction bothers me.
I resolutely approached my mother-in-law and husband in the hope of finding a compromise.
"Mom, I know you're doing it for our good, but I also hope you can give us more space. I whispered.
The mother-in-law's gaze gradually softened, she pondered for a while, and slowly nodded: "Perhaps, I did interfere too much in your life.
Family conflicts cannot be easily eliminated, but as long as there is understanding and tolerance, a solution will be found. I began to understand that in this family, every member has their own difficulties and pains, and only by understanding and tolerating each other can the family be more harmonious.
I look at the family and understand this deeply. I no longer regret getting married, and I no longer doubt my choices.
I believe that as long as we can understand and tolerate each other, this family will definitely become warmer and happier.
