"My name is Li Xiaoping, I am 27 years old this year, a woman who is about to enter the palace of marriage. Today, I am going to have a meal with my future mother-in-law, Mrs. Li, which is an official meeting before the wedding. But I never imagined that this meal would become the most memorable meal of my life. ”
That afternoon, I walked into the Chinese restaurant wearing a carefully selected dress, with a little nervousness and anticipation. Mrs. Li and I have chatted a few times on WeChat, but after all, it was the first time we met face-to-face. She was a serious-looking middle-aged woman, her hair was meticulously combed, and her dress was plain but tasteful.
As soon as we sat down, she said straight to the point: "Xiaoping, my son is sincere to you, you have to treat him well." I smiled and was about to answer, when several unexpected figures appeared at the door.
A fashionably dressed woman walked in with a young boy, followed by a man in his forties. As soon as the woman saw us, she exclaimed, "Mrs. Li, how can you be like this!"
I was a little confused and didn't know what was going on. Mrs. Li's face changed, and she said sharply, "Jingyi, why did you bring them here?"
It turned out that the woman was Mrs. Li's daughter-in-law, the boy was her grandson, and the man was her brother-in-law. I sighed in my heart, this scene is even more lively than the TV series.
Jingyi said to Mrs. Li emotionally: "Mom, you are always like this, you only care about your eldest brother's marriage, and never consider my feelings. Do you know how hard it is for me and Xiaojie?"
Mrs. Li replied expressionlessly: "We'll talk about your affairs when we go home." Now is not the time. ”
At this time, the little boy seemed to be frightened, pulled the corner of Jingyi's clothes, and whispered, "Mom, can we go home?"
Jing Yi looked at her son, her eyes revealed a hint of softness, but she quickly regained her coldness, "No, I have to make this matter clear today." ”
I sat there, feeling like an outsider, but then I was caught up in this family turmoil. Mrs. Li glanced at me, seemed to think of something, and suddenly turned to me and said, "Xiaoping, do you say that if a woman marries into the door, she should serve this family wholeheartedly." ”
I was a little caught off guard by this sudden question. I know it's a trap, and no matter how I answer, it seems to offend people.
At this moment, another person came to the door, it was my fiancé, Mrs. Li's son, Zhang Qiang. He looked a little anxious, and as soon as he entered the door, he said, "Mom, Xiaoping, what's going on?"
Zhang Qiang is the most considerate man I know, although sometimes a little wooden, but always able to stand up at critical moments. Seeing him, my heart
The tension eased a little.
"Nothing, we were just discussing some family matters. Mrs. Lee quickly took control of the situation, with unquestionable authority in her tone.
Zhang Qiang glanced at me, as if trying to read something from my expression. He turned to Jing Yi and Xiao Jie, smiled and asked, "Sister Jing Yi, Xiao Jie, why are you here?"
Jingyi's expression was a little complicated, she looked at Mrs. Li, then at Zhang Qiang, and finally sighed: "Qiangqiang, I know that my mother has high expectations for you, but I am also part of this family. Isn't my feelings, Xiaojie's future, important?"
Zhang Qiang was obviously a little overwhelmed by this sudden questioning. He looked at his mother, hoping to get some clues from her.
Mrs. Li didn't give him a chance, she said directly to Jingyi: "Jingyi, this is not the place for you to vent your emotions. If we have any questions, we'll talk about it when we get home. ”
Jingyi's eyes were filled with tears, she grabbed Xiaojie's hand tightly, suddenly stood up, and said resolutely: "No, I have to make it clear today." Mom, you are always partial, only concerned about the marriage of your eldest brother, and turn a blind eye to my life. Do you know how hard life was after my divorce from my ex-husband?"
At this time, Xiaojie looked a little scared, he pulled the corner of Jingyi's clothes and whispered, "Mom, let's go." ”
Jingyi looked at her son, and her eyes revealed deep love. She turned to Mrs. Li and her tone became firm: "Mom, I have to say it today. I'm not just for myself, but also for Xiaojie. He needs a complete home, and he needs fatherly love. But you, you only care about the happiness of the eldest brother. ”
Mrs. Li's face became more and more somber, and she said coldly, "Your problem is caused by yourself. I can't ignore the future of Qiangqiang because of you. ”
Zhang Qiang stood up at this time, he looked at Jing Yi, and then said to Mrs. Li: "Mom, what Sister Jing Yi said is not unreasonable. We should think more about her and Jay's feelings. ”
Mrs. Li's face was even more ugly, she didn't expect her son to stand by Jingyi's side at such a time.
I silently observed all this, and my mind was mixed. I know that this scene is not only about the battle between two women, but also about the power and emotional game within a family.
Zhang Qiang walked up to me and whispered to me, "Xiaoping, I'm sorry to let you see such a scene." ”
I shook my head, and although I was a little uneasy, I knew that these family disputes would have to be faced sooner or later.
Jingyi glanced at me, and there were mixed emotions in her eyes. She suddenly asked me, "Xiaoping, what do you think? Which side will you be on?"
I was stunned
I didn't expect this question to be thrown at me suddenly. I took a deep breath and tried to answer in the most neutral tone: "I think the feelings of everyone in the family matter. Whether it is the marriage of the eldest brother or the situation of Sister Jingyi and Xiaojie, they should be taken seriously. ”
My answer seemed to surprise everyone present. Mrs. Li's eyes flashed with imperceptible approval, and Zhang Qiang gently held my hand, as if silently giving me strength.
Jingyi looked at me with a complicated glint in her eyes. She seemed to want to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. Instead, her gaze fell on Mrs. Li again.
"Mom, I'm not here to fight. I just hope you understand that as a single mother, Xiaojie and I also need the warmth and support of family. Jing Yi's voice gradually softened.
Mrs. Li was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "I know it's not easy for you, but you also have to understand that as a mother, I also have my own difficulties. ”
At this time, Zhang Qiang's brother-in-law, the man about forty years old who had been sitting in the corner and hadn't spoken much, suddenly spoke: "I think we should both think more from each other's point of view." Jingyi, you also know your mother's character, she sometimes talks roughly. Xiaoping just entered the door, and she also hopes to give you a good impression. ”
Hearing this, the atmosphere seemed to ease up a little. Jingyi's expression also softened, and she whispered to Mrs. Li, "Mom, I know your hard work, but I really need your understanding and support. ”
Mrs. Li sighed, looked at Jingyi and Xiaojie, and her eyes revealed a hint of tenderness: "I know, I will care more about you in the future." ”
At this time, the waiter served the food we ordered, and the original tense atmosphere was finally relieved. We began to eat, and although everyone was a little preoccupied, at least calm was restored on the surface.
At the dinner table, I tried to keep smiling as much as I could, occasionally inserting a sentence or two. I knew that as a new member of the family who was about to join the family, I needed not only love with Zhang Qiang, but also understanding and adapting to the complex relationship of this family.
After the meal, Jingyi took Xiaojie and left first. Mrs. Li looked at their backs with indescribable complexity in her eyes.
On the way home for Zhang Qiang, we were all silent. The atmosphere in the car was a bit heavy. In the end, I couldn't help but speak: "Zhang Qiang, your mother is really difficult to get along with." ”
Zhang Qiang sighed: "I know that she is really tough sometimes. But she is actually still very soft in her heart, but she is not very good at expressing it. ”
I nodded, knowing in my heart that married
Zhang Qiang means that I also have to learn how to get along with such a complex family.
When I got home, I sat alone on the couch and thought about everything that had happened today. I know in my heart that marriage is not just a matter of two people, but also a union of two families. The thought of being part of such a family makes me both look forward to it and apprehensive.
The next day, I received a WeChat message from Jingyi. She wanted to meet me alone to talk. I hesitated, but finally agreed. Perhaps, this is an opportunity to learn more about her.
We met at a café. Jingyi looks a lot calmer than yesterday. She first apologized to me: "Xiaoping, I'm sorry, yesterday's incident made you laugh." ”
I smiled and shook my head: "It's okay, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read." ”
Jing Yi smiled bitterly: "Yes, every family has its own problems. Actually, I did that yesterday because I was dissatisfied with my mother, and on the other hand, I wanted to remind you. ”
"Reminder?" I'm a little curious.
"Well, I know Qiang Qiang is a good person, but he sometimes listens too much to his mother. I'm worried that after you get married, you will be oppressed by your mother-in-law. Jing Yi's eyes revealed sincere concern.
I was silent for a moment, then said seriously, "Thank you for the reminder, I'll be careful." But I also believe that Zhang Qiang and I can deal with these issues together. ”
Jingyi nodded, she seemed to be relieved. Later, we talked about her life with Xiaojie. I found out that she was actually a very strong and gentle woman, but life gave her too much pressure.
We chatted for a long time, and finally she said goodbye with a smile: "Xiaoping, I hope you and Qiangqiang can be happy." ”
On the way home, I had more thoughts in my mind. I've come to realize that everyone has their own story and every family has its own problems. Only understanding and tolerance can make this family live in harmony.
A few days later, Zhang Qiang took me to meet his father. Dad Zhang is a kind old man and he is very friendly to me. After dinner, Dad Zhang took Zhang Qiang and me by the hand and said seriously: "You two, my greatest wish is to see you happy." No matter what happens, communicate well and support each other. ”
Listening to Zhang's father's words, I was moved. I looked at Zhang Qiang, his eyes were full of determination and love. I know that no matter how difficult the road ahead may be, as long as we walk together, there will always be a solution.
That night, I had a long talk with Zhang Qiang. We discussed our plans for the future and also talked about how to deal with family relationships. We all understand that none of this will be smooth sailing, but we are all confident that everything will be better if we work together
