Because of a few broken cardboard boxes, my mother and my future mother-in-law got into a fight
I have to say, this thing really made my head bigger! Just because of a few broken cardboard boxes, two mother-level "goddesses" actually fought, and this plot is even more bloody than a TV series.
Here's the thing, I happened to be a guest at my girlfriend's house that day, and I helped move by the way. My family and my girlfriend's family are the kind of families who like to accumulate cardboard boxes, in the words of the elderly, "cardboard boxes can be sold for money, but it's a pity to lose them". Originally, when I moved, these cartons were going to be sold to the uncle who collected scrap. But on the day of moving, the uncle who collected the waste products couldn't come temporarily, and the cartons were temporarily piled up in the corridor.
This time, there is like an extra "carton mountain" in the corridor, and you have to walk around. My girlfriend's mother, my future mother-in-law, frowned at the boxes and muttered, "These boxes are piled up here, it's annoying to look at, and we have to deal with them quickly." When my mother heard this, she was naturally unhappy, she felt that the carton could be sold for a few dollars, so it was a pity to throw it away. So the two mothers said a word, and the "battle for cardboard boxes" began.
I originally thought it was just a "war of words" with a small fight, but I didn't expect the two mothers to get more and more excited the more they talked, and finally they started to move. My girlfriend and her mom are on one side, so naturally she helps her mom talk, and I'm caught in the middle, it's really a dilemma.
At this moment, a neighbor's complaint suddenly came from the hallway: "What's the matter with your family? They look at me, I look at you, and they all realize that their actions may be causing inconvenience to their neighbors. So they quickly stopped the "battle" at hand and began to discuss what to do with these cardboard boxes.
In the end, they decided to move the carton to the open space downstairs first, and then dispose of it when the uncle who collected the waste came. This "war" caused by a few broken cardboard boxes has finally come to an end.
In retrospect, I was so angry and funny. Two families who were supposed to live in harmony unexpectedly got into trouble over a trivial matter. But then again, it also showed me the cute side of the two mothers. Although they are old, they still have the strength to not admit defeat in their bones. Perhaps it is precisely because of this persistence and persistence that they can keep the family in order.
As for the relationship between my girlfriend and me, it has become more intimate after this incident. We both find each other's families interesting and willing to work hard to maintain this harmony. I guess that's life. It is always full of unexpected episodes and twists, but as long as we face it with a heart of tolerance and understanding, we will definitely find a solution to the problem.
Now every time we mention it, our whole family can't help but laugh out loud. Although those broken cardboard boxes triggered a "war", they also allowed us to gain a valuable experience and lesson: when we encounter problems in life, we must learn to empathize and understand each other, and we must remain calm and rational when dealing with family conflicts. Only in this way can we create a warm and harmonious family environment together.
Finally, I would like to say a word: Thank you for those broken cardboard boxes! Because they make us cherish each other's feelings and fate even more, and because they make us understand a truth -- there is no obstacle in life that cannot be overcome! As long as we work together and work together, we will be able to overcome all difficulties!
