On the day I got married, my mother-in-law put eight silk quilts on top of my dowry box. "Girl, these eight silk quilts are woven by my own hands, just like you are now stepping step by step towards your new life. I hope these quilts can warm the love between you and the silly boy. The mother-in-law said with a smile. I smiled shyly, blushing. "Thank you, mother-in-law!" I whispered.
My mother-in-law got up early in the morning to make soy milk fritters, and when my husband and I finished washing up and went downstairs, the fragrant breakfast was already on the table. "Oh, I'm sorry, let my mother-in-law get up early in the morning to cook!" My husband scratched his head a little embarrassed. "It's okay, it's okay, it's the rules of our family. My mother-in-law smiled heartily and pressed my husband and I to sit on the chairs.
I plucked up the courage to say to my mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, these eight silk quilts are the dowry you gave me, how can I give them to others casually?" My mother-in-law glared at me, and her tone was very heavy: "This is our family's thing, we can give it to whoever we want, it's not your mother-in-law's turn to point fingers!" I was scolded by my mother-in-law, and tears flowed down. My husband persuaded on the side: "Mom, don't be angry, let's talk slowly." This silk quilt was indeed given to me when I hired my daughter-in-law, and it is also her thing. The mother-in-law ignored it, and took off the two beds of silk quilts and handed them to her cousin's house.
I couldn't sleep all night long, and I was very sad. I think that these eight silk quilts were obviously hand-woven by my mother-in-law and given to me, how can my mother-in-law's attitude change so quickly? I am very aggrieved, and I feel that my mother-in-law does not regard me as a member of her own family at all. I secretly wiped my tears and told my husband about this, and my husband was also very embarrassed: "This is my mother's temper, and we can't do anything." Besides, it's normal for my cousin to get married and give two quilts. I was very indignant: "Two beds are normal, these eight beds are my dowry! My mother-in-law exploited my things at will, how can I raise my head in this family in the future!" My husband reluctantly persuaded me not to take it seriously.
A few days later, my mother-in-law offered to give two beds of silk quilts to my distant cousin as a birthday gift. I couldn't bear it anymore and quarreled with my mother-in-law directly. "Mother-in-law, I really can't stand the dowry you give me endlessly! Didn't you say that the eight-bed silk quilt would warm the love between me and the silly boy? Why don't you want it in a blink of an eye?" I cried and questioned my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law was very angry and directly slapped me: "Shameless things, I don't charge you a penny for food and housing, the quilt is my family, you can give it to whoever you want, and you are angry with me!" I was slapped in the face by my mother-in-law, and my heart was like a knife, and I fainted immediately.
When I woke up, my husband was guarding me by the bed with a distressed face. He whispered to me that he would try to negotiate with my mother-in-law to get my dowry back. I shook my head sadly, I really didn't see hope. My mother-in-law is so strong and domineering, and my husband and I can't change her. I decided to run away from home, my husband begged me to think about it again, but my mother-in-law just said something angry for a while, and when she calmed down, she would be fine. I didn't listen, and I packed my bags with determination. I can't stand living in this atmosphere anymore.
I left my husband's house without looking back, tears blurring my vision. I was determined to go back to my parents' home, to be a single woman again, and never to marry again. I left a note to my husband, saying that I really can't stand this kind of life, and that they can live with their mother and son, and I can do it alone.
So I went back to my in-laws' house, but my mother-in-law ignored me completely and went about her own business. My heart is very uncomfortable. A few days later, my mother-in-law mentioned that she wanted to give away the remaining two beds of silk, and my husband and I had a big fight again. "It's all mine, why are you giving it to someone else? What do you think of me?" I grabbed the silk and was loudly questioned by my mother-in-law. The mother-in-law sneered: "I don't charge you a penny for food and housing, why are you so ignorant? I think you are a lazy woman, and you can't be raised!" After that, she was going to hit me again. I flashed behind my husband and tears rained down.
In the end, the eight silk quilts were all given away by the mother-in-law. My heart was like ashes, and I wept all day and all night. I began to wonder if I was not good enough to make my mother-in-law hate me like this? I began to work tirelessly at home, getting up early and working late to try to please my mother-in-law. But she still looked indifferent, which made me feel cold. My husband and I are also getting colder and colder, and we don't want to say a word.
My mother-in-law sat across from me with red eyes and said in a trembling voice, "Daughter-in-law, I'm sorry, I did despise you before. During this time, you have worked hard at home, and I have seen it all. It's because I'm too anxious and put too much pressure on you to force you away. I really regret it, can you give me a chance to mend my ways?" I listened to my mother-in-law's apology, tears welled up in my eyes, and I finally waited for this moment! I nodded excitedly and hugged my mother-in-law hard. "Mother-in-law, I forgive you! I'm sorry that I haven't been able to understand your intentions. My mother-in-law wiped her tears and explained that the reason why she wanted to confiscate my dowry quilt and give it away was to stimulate my potential through the "radical method" and make me stronger and more assertive. It dawned on me that this was my mother-in-law's way of teaching!
After that, I tried to learn Xi housekeeping and child-rearing knowledge from my mother-in-law, who patiently passed on her half-life experience. I was pleased to find out that my mother-in-law was such a kind and amiable elder. The rift between us before is now healed as before. I also began to take the initiative to help my mother-in-law with the housework and talk to her about the shortcomings of the family. My mother-in-law often laughs and chats with me, just like her own daughter.
I gently draped the silk quilt over my mother-in-law's shoulders and said to her sincerely, "Mother-in-law, I finally understand your kindness. I shouldn't have been obsessed with the superficial conflict and ignored your purpose of trying to help me grow. I will try to learn to be more resilient and I will learn to take care of this family. Let's start all over again, can we support and understand each other as we did at the beginning?"
When my mother-in-law heard this, she burst into tears, and she touched my face with a trembling hand and said, "Silly girl, my mother-in-law only wants you to be happy." We mother and daughter, what can't we say well?" I couldn't help crying, I finally regained my original intention of being a daughter-in-law.
Since then, my friendship with my mother-in-law has become deeper and deeper, and I have learned to be considerate of her joys, sorrows, and sorrows. I am no longer afraid to take on the responsibilities of the family, but actively share my mother-in-law's worries. We are like the closest friends, we can talk about topics that we have never talked about before. My mother-in-law also loved my baby daughter even more and bought her new clothes and toys. I felt that life had found meaning, that I had found another home.
When I saw with my own eyes that the eight beds of silk were returned to my mother-in-law's arms, I couldn't help but recall the bits and pieces of these years. From the trembling at the beginning of marrying into this family, to the various conflicts with my mother-in-law later, and finally reconciled, I Xi have learned and grown a lot along the way. I suddenly had a feeling of expansion, I was finally no longer the simple and gullible little girl I was back then, I became the mainstay of this family, and I learned to be tolerant and tolerant.
That night, I was excited to share all these experiences with my husband. He opened his arms and let me pill in his arms, and said softly, "I knew that you and my mother would be reunited, because you are actually the closest confidants." "He kissed the top of my hair like he did on our wedding night many years ago. I feel extremely happy and fulfilled that I have two families that love me dearly.
My girlfriends were deeply moved and praised the deep friendship between me and my mother-in-law that surpassed the ordinary mother-in-law relationship. They said that they would also learn from me Xi in the future, how to get along better with my in-laws. I feel so relieved and proud that I have become the target of others.
My mother-in-law and I are like the best sisters and friends, I have inherited the essence of her life, and she has also seen me grow from a young girl to a good wife and mother. We cherish every moment of our encounters, because we have experienced the most difficult times, so the joy of family life is particularly intoxicating. I often invite my family and friends to visit my house and tell them the story of our eight-bed silk quilt, and everyone is sincerely happy that there is such a deep relationship between our mother and daughter. I feel extremely blessed and fulfilled to be spending every stage of my life with my loved ones.
