At my daughter's wedding banquet, my in-laws and sister-in-law brought a large group of relatives to the rescue, and my face was saved.
I stood in the corner of the ballroom and watched it all. The bright red décor sets off the festive atmosphere, and guests come into the hall in an endless stream of smiles and joy.
"Sister-in-law, you see, my brother-in-law's colleagues have already arrived. The sister-in-law hugged her in-laws and said to me with a smile.
I smiled bitterly and didn't speak. This wedding was originally planned by my husband and me, but now, it has become so awkward.
I don't want to fall out with them, after all, it's my daughter's big day.
At the banquet, I tried to keep my smile smiling, although it was difficult to calm my mind. When the dishes were brought to the table, the guests raised their glasses, and I could only reluctantly bow my head to entertain.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. The sister-in-law said with a smile, "This is a relative who came from afar, and in order to add joy to the newlyweds, they came to congratulate them."
I had a suspicion in my heart, and it was a little strange that these relatives suddenly appeared at this juncture. But looking at their enthusiastic smiles, I could only reluctantly sit on the main seat and say a few words to them.
"Mom, look, this is my brother-in-law's colleague. My daughter pulled me and pointed to a young couple at the wedding feast.
"yes, it looks pretty good. I smiled and nodded, but my heart was full of helplessness. The wedding was the perfect experience I had always dreamed of, but now it was an awkward and helpless struggle.
In the days that followed, I was always uneasy. I was anxious about the changes at home, but I didn't know how to deal with it.
One day, I received a call from my sister-in-law, and there was a hint of nervousness in her voice: "Sister, my parents and I have been busy with my little cousin's marriage recently, but we have encountered some difficulties, can you help?"
"Little cousin, what's wrong with you?" I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart, "It seems that this matter is not simple. ”
"Yes, she's having some problems in her marriage, and I hope you can help resolve it. The sister-in-law spoke earnestly.
Faced with my sister-in-law's request, I was caught in a difficult dilemma. I know in my heart that my little cousin's marriage involves the honor and honor of the family, and if I don't come forward, I'm afraid it will cause more verbal disputes.
During the long nights, I struggled to think until dawn. In the end, I decided to go and understand the situation and try to help solve the problem.
"Sister, I don't know what to do, I really don't have the courage to face all this. The little cousin's voice trembled.
My heart ached, family strife was unforgiving. In such a family environment, girls are often the most innocent victims.
Either way, you have to be strong and we'll get through it together.
In the next few days, my sister-in-law and I teamed up to help my little cousin resolve the marital conflict. I also deeply understand that family conflicts can only be resolved through communication and understanding, and that this kind of thing is not a one-sided responsibility, but the result of joint efforts.
As I was deep in thought, I suddenly heard a shout that made me frown. I walked out of the hall and saw my in-laws arguing with my sister-in-law in the living room.
"This wedding was originally organized at our expense, and how embarrassing it is for us to suddenly bring so many people!" said the sister-in-law angrily.
The in-laws were also very angry: "This is our relative, come over and bless what's wrong? How much can your sister-in-law do for you here, and she won't give us any face!"
"So what? you can discuss it with me beforehand, instead of making a sudden decision like an outsider!" the sister-in-law was not to be outdone.
The debate between the two became more and more intense, and the emotions became more and more excited, and a tense atmosphere permeated the living room. I hesitated to stop it, but the exhaustion in my heart prevented me from moving.
This time, I was even more confused. I don't know what happened between my in-laws and sister-in-law, maybe this wedding meant more for them to save face than to really bless them.
I don't know what to do next.
Soon, I noticed something else that was embarrassing to me. My mom burst into the ballroom. When I saw her, my mood instantly became tense.
"This is my mom. I took her arm and said with a grim face.
"Didn't you invite your mother to your daughter's wedding?" the sister-in-law's voice rang in my ears.
"This ......" I was stumped by her blunt question and was speechless. I don't know why my mom is here, and I don't know how to explain it to my sister-in-law.
My mother's arrival caused a commotion, and I quickly arranged for someone to persuade her to return. However, this scene was enough for me to feel powerless.
My heart began to ache. The daughter's wedding was supposed to be happy and festive, but it became embarrassing because of family strife.
