On the way home from work today, I was actually in a pretty good mood. Suddenly, my phone rang, and it was a call from my husband.
I said a few words and hung up. Thinking of my mother-in-law alone at home, I always feel a little uneasy in my heart.
When I got home, I opened the door and a strange smell came to my face. "Mother-in-law, when you're cooking... What's going on?" I shouted as I took off my shoes.
I put down my bag and ran to the kitchen to see that my mother-in-law was stir-frying, and she smelled of oily smoke. I frowned and went over to open the window for her.
"That mobile phone at home almost burned me, you see, I just charged your phone when it rang, so I almost didn't get burned.
I was a little displeased by my mother-in-law's attitude, and said inexplicably: "Can I be blamed for the mobile phone thing?
After hearing this, the mother-in-law shook her head, "How can you say that? I'm afraid that your phone will run out of battery when you come back at night." I'm afraid something will happen to you, and that's kind.
"I don't need you to worry about me!" I was a little angry, "If you are worried about the phone, just tell me, you don't need to make such a big fuss."
Anger appeared in the mother-in-law's eyes: "I helped you do nothing wrong, how can you talk to me like this?
I felt a little guilty by my mother-in-law's aggrieved appearance, but I still said, "I know you are doing it for my good, but you can't always be like this, and I'm not a child anymore."
"I'm doing it for your own good, why can't you see it. With that, the mother-in-law threw down the spatula and turned into the room.
After finishing my meal sullenly, I stood in front of the window and looked at the starry night sky in a daze. What's wrong with this woman? These days, she's always inexplicably suspicious and moody, and I really can't stand it.
After a while, I felt sorry for my mother-in-law. I quietly pushed open the door of my mother-in-law's room and whispered, "Mother-in-law, I'm sorry, I just spoke too much.
My mother-in-law looked at me, then turned her head away, ignoring me. My heart was sour, and I said unwillingly: "Don't be like this, I really didn't mean to."
At this time, the mother-in-law's attitude finally softened a little, "Forget it, I'm in a hurry." Listen to me, for the sake of harmony in the family, if you have something to say, don't be angry.
I nodded, "I see." ”
"This mobile phone caused us to quarrel. The mother-in-law suddenly laughed, "It's really funny." ”
I laughed too, "yes, sometimes it's just the little things that make you unhappy." ”
My mother-in-law patted my hand, "That's right, if you're unhappy, just say it, and don't hold it in your heart." Our family, we have to learn to be tolerant.
I looked up at my mother-in-law, and my heart suddenly brightened. It turns out that all kinds of contradictions in life can indeed be resolved.
After my mother-in-law reconciled with me, the atmosphere at home was much better. I also learned to be more tolerant and considerate, and try not to have conflicts with my mother-in-law.
Once, I came home late because I was busy with work. I thought my mother-in-law would understand, but I didn't expect her to wait in the living room all the time, her eyes full of dissatisfaction and disappointment.
"If you came back so late and didn't give me a call, am I not alone at home?" the mother-in-law reproached.
I felt a little unhappy in my heart, thinking that my mother-in-law was a bit too much to reproach me like this, "I'm busy with work, so it's normal to go home late."
The mother-in-law did not relent, "No matter how busy you are at work, you have to find time to see your family, you are not sensible!"
I was a little unhappy when I heard it, but I still held back, "I know, but you don't have to be so angry, right?"
The mother-in-law was even more angry, "I'm angry for a reason, why are you always ignorant!"
Our argument grew more and more intense, and finally I had to go back to my room to avoid it. In the room, I felt very aggrieved, obviously I was busy with work, and I just came home late, why did my mother-in-law blame me? I felt very wronged, and I felt that my mother-in-law did not understand me enough.
I heard my mother-in-law's voice through the door: "Alas, we quarreled again, why is this child so stubborn." However, she is also working for it.
Hearing my mother-in-law's emotion, most of my grievances were suddenly resolved in my heart. I knew she was just worried about me, so I quietly held the kettle and walked out of the room, "Mother-in-law, I'm sorry, I know you're doing it for my good."
My mother-in-law looked at me with guilt in her eyes, "Alas, I shouldn't blame you so much." Don't be sad, let's talk about it when we come back.
Looking at my mother-in-law's expression, a wave of warmth welled up in my heart, so we sat together and talked about the contradictions and troubles in our hearts these days.
This quarrel made me understand my mother-in-law better. Conflicts in the family are always emerging in life, but as long as you understand and tolerate with your heart, coordinate and communicate, you will definitely be able to resolve them.
A few days later, when I got up, I found that my mother-in-law had gotten up early and made me breakfast. I feel a lot of emotion in my heart, and my mother-in-law is really a good person.
But just then, I saw a familiar mobile phone bill with several unfamiliar phone numbers, and the time was late at night.
"Mother-in-law, what's going on?" I asked, pointing to the bill.
The mother-in-law looked at it and said lightly: "This is the mobile phone bill, is there any problem?"
"There were a few unfamiliar numbers, and they were all called late at night. I couldn't help but be a little worried, "Is someone fighting me for the right to use my phone?"
My mother-in-law listened to my words, was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Ah, those numbers, yes...... I'm calling you at night.
I was a little surprised, "Call me at night?"
With that, I picked up my phone and opened the call log. Sure enough, there are several numbers that are late-night call logs, and none of them are short-lived.
"I'm at home all night, and I haven't received a call from you. I wondered, "What's going on?"
The mother-in-law was a little embarrassed and said, "This ...... I secretly called you. Recently, you've been working overtime, you've been busy with work, and you don't have time to spend with me at night, I'm ...... I wanted to talk to you, so I called a few times.
After I heard this, I got a little angry, "Mother-in-law, why are you like this, you can tell me directly, what's the point of you secretly calling? I'm very tired every day, don't I have to do housework when I go back?"
When my mother-in-law heard my words, she looked a little annoyed, "I know I shouldn't call secretly, but you're always so busy, I sometimes want to talk to you, I'm bored at home alone."
The mother-in-law nodded, "Got it, I'll pay attention to it later." ”
We fell silent, and I felt a little guilty. My mother-in-law did this just out of love and concern for me, but I was angry because of my doubts, which is not right.
"Mother-in-law, I'm sorry, I was bad before, I shouldn't be so angry with you. I tried to apologize to my mother-in-law, "Actually, I also know that you are also for the good of the family, and I will accompany you more in the future."
My mother-in-law looked at me and finally smiled, "Okay, it's all over, and our family will have to tolerate each other more." If you have any unhappy things in the future, just say it well, don't keep it in your heart.
I smiled too, feeling much better, "Well, you're right. ”
Although there are still contradictions, my mother-in-law's words made me understand a lot. Family, you have to learn to be tolerant and understanding.
After that day, my relationship with my mother-in-law seemed to become more sensitive and fragile. Whenever she spoke a little prickly, I would feel unhappy, and she would get angry at me for a little thing, and the friction between us would become more and more frequent.
However, it's not always easy to avoid things from happening. One day, I had just come home and was tired and wanted to lie down and rest for a while.
I felt angry and helpless, thinking that she was still finding fault at this time, so I jumped up and argued with her excitedly.
After walking outside for a while, I calmed down and got home. The moment I opened the door, I heard a soft cry, and my heart tightened.
"Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" I asked anxiously.
She looked up, tears in her eyes. "I really didn't expect us to be like this, I couldn't do anything about it.
I sat down next to her, "Mother-in-law, it's not your fault, it's not my fault, we're all working hard." I know I'm not good enough, but I don't really know how to change it.
She shook her head, "I didn't expect that I didn't want to quarrel with you anymore, but I couldn't control myself.
We were silent for a long time, until I decided to sit down with her and have a good talk. We talked a lot, about our respective emotions, our thoughts, all kinds of contradictions.
Our communication became a turning point, we began to understand each other's position better and tried to be tolerant of each other.
However, even with this change between us, we still understand that we both have our own bottom lines.
I know that this is a process that takes a long time to reconcile, and this process, which is full of challenges and difficulties, also has the growth of our relationship.
So I was thinking that maybe the conflicts between family members could not be resolved overnight. Only after countless disputes, understanding, and reconciliation can we move towards a more harmonious relationship.
