Our relationship has always been stable, and we cherish this hard-won relationship with each other. However, whenever I talk about meeting my parents, I always feel extremely nervous. I know that boyfriend and girlfriend have come to this point, and the approval of both parents is very important. I was afraid that my future mother-in-law would not like me, that it would cast a shadow on our relationship. At the same time, I also look forward to integrating into Zhang Ming's family as soon as possible and becoming an indispensable member of them.
On this day, Zhang Ming specially took half a day off to accompany me to visit his house. I carefully groomed up, hoping to make a good impression on Zhang Ming's family. When we finally stood in front of Zhang Ming's house, my heart was pounding, both expecting and afraid of what would happen next.
I took a deep breath and rang the doorbell. At this moment, my brain went blank, and all that was left was the sound of a nervous heartbeat. After a while, the door slowly opened, and an amiable middle-aged woman appeared in front of her. "You must be Jiajia, come on in. She smiled. I nodded hurriedly, "Hello Auntie, I'm Li Jia, please take care of me." "
Following my aunt into the house, I looked around and felt the warmth and harmony of the family. The living room is furnished with a set of exquisite mahogany furniture, and several landscape paintings are hung on the walls, exuding a strong cultural atmosphere. I stepped on the soft carpet carefully, for fear of breaking something.
"Jiajia, you're here!" Zhang Ming poked his head out of the kitchen and smiled brightly at me. I immediately felt a little relaxed, "Well, I'm coming." I replied softly, and couldn't help but look into his gentle eyes.
"I'm cooking lunch, so let's sit and talk in the living room. Mom and Dad will be here later. Zhang Ming said and retracted back into the kitchen.
"Okay, then you're busy. I turned to my aunt and said, "Auntie, your house is so beautiful." "
"Where, just ordinary home furnishings. Jiajia, you must love cleanliness very much, my son and I are really a natural pair. Auntie said kindly.
I couldn't help but lower my head, a blush on my face. I whispered, "Auntie, you are too polite, I will try my best to be a good daughter-in-law." "
Auntie patted the back of my hand, "Jiajia, it will be your own home in the future, you can relax." "
Over time, I gradually integrated into Zhang Ming's family. The three of us chatted intimately as if I were already part of the family.
"Jiajia, what do you do?" Father Zhang asked with concern.
"I work in a bank and am a teller. I replied with a smile.
"Bank, yes, yes. I heard Zhang Ming say that you are very good at handling things, very caring and considerate. Father Zhang nodded, "This child in our family is only capable of having a girl like you." "
I couldn't help but bow my head to hide the shyness in my heart, "Dad, you are too exalted to me." In fact, Zhang Ming is also a very careful boy, and he is the best person I have ever met. "
"Haha, of course. Our child has been spoiled by us since he was a child, and he has caused us a lot of trouble. We are so happy to meet such a good girl as you. Zhang's mother said with a smile.
I smiled embarrassedly, secretly glad in my heart, it seems that Zhang Ming's parents still like me.
Just as we were talking and laughing, Zhang Ming walked out of the kitchen with a large plate of dishes. "Alright, lunch is ready. Let's eat together. "
We moved to the restaurant together, Zhang Ming carefully helped me pull out the chair, and I happily sat down. The food is fragrant and looks very tempting.
"Jiajia, you try this braised pork first, it's a good dish made by my mother. Zhang Ming smiled and put a piece of meat into my bowl.
I tasted it carefully, and immediately felt that the meat was tender and delicious, and the juice was abundant. "It's delicious, and Auntie is such a good cook. "
"Where, it's just ordinary home cooking. You eat slowly, you're welcome. Zhang's mother said gently.
I couldn't resist picking up a few more pieces and enjoying the delicious meal to my heart's content. Zhang Ming on the side looked at me with concern from time to time, his eyes full of doting. I noticed it, and I felt a lot of warmth in my heart.
After the meal, I offered to help clean up the table. Mother Zhang stopped again and again, "Jiajia, you are a guest, don't worry about this." "
"It's okay, Auntie. I also want to contribute to this family. I insisted.
Seeing that I was so enthusiastic, Zhang's mother was busy with me. I carefully put the dishes in the sink and washed them carefully.
Just as I was busy washing the dishes, I suddenly felt a sight behind me. I looked back and met Granny Zhang's gaze. She looked me up and down, her expression a little grim. I hurriedly greeted, "Hello mother-in-law." "
But my mother-in-law didn't respond, just looked at me coldly. I instantly felt a creep, and the movements of my hands involuntarily stopped.
"Jiajia, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Ming on the side asked suspiciously.
I shook my head, "No, it's nothing. Me, I'll be fine right away. But he was secretly anxious in his heart.
At this time, Granny Zhang spoke, "You, are the prospective daughter-in-law of our family?"
I nodded hurriedly, "Yes, mother-in-law." I am Zhang Ming's girlfriend, my name is Li Jia. "
"Oh, it's you. The mother-in-law snorted softly, "I've heard of you, you work in a bank. "
"Yes, mother-in-law. I work as a teller in a bank. I replied cautiously.
"Teller, yes, yes. But I've heard that your bank has laid off a lot of employees recently, is your job still stable?" The mother-in-law asked suddenly.
I was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond. While I did hear about layoffs in the banking sector recently, my job was not affected. However, when my mother-in-law asked this, I was suddenly a little embarrassed.
"Mother-in-law, Jiajia's job is very stable. You don't have to worry. Zhang Ming on the side hurriedly helped me out of the siege.
But my mother-in-law ignored Zhang Ming's words and continued to stare at me with squinted eyes. "What are you two going to do, have you thought about getting married?"
I was so nervous that I hurriedly replied, "We, we don't have a specific plan yet." We'll seriously consider it though. "
"Hmph, don't be struggling. You see that at your age, it is time to think about getting married and having children. The mother-in-law snorted coldly, "If you get married one day, I don't want you to wander around at home all day, you have to work hard to earn money to support your family." "
I stood there stunned, not knowing what to do. My mother-in-law's difficulties made me feel at a loss, and my heart became more and more anxious.
At this time, Zhang Ming hurriedly walked up to me and comforted me softly, "Don't worry, Jiajia." We'll face it together. "
I held his hand tightly and felt his support and warmth. But even so, I still can't get rid of the uneasiness in my heart.
Just when Zhang Ming and I were snuggling up to each other, my mother-in-law spoke again, "By the way, Jiajia, how many days will you come here to stay?"
I was stunned for a moment, and looked at my mother-in-law puzzled, "How many days will you stay?" "
"Oh, I see. The mother-in-law nodded, "Then when are you going to move in with us?"
I didn't know how to answer for a while, so I could only stammer, "Move, move in?" "
"Why, aren't you two going to get married? Shouldn't you live together when you're married?" The mother-in-law said coldly.
I shook my head in a panic, "No, that's not the case. We're just a normal boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, and we haven't talked about getting married yet. "
"What? You don't even plan to get married?" The mother-in-law asked loudly, "Zhang Ming, what's the matter with you? You're so old, and you haven't given us joy yet?"
Zhang Ming on the side hurriedly explained, "Mom, we really don't have a specific plan yet. But we'll think about it, so there's no need to rush. "
"In a hurry? The mother-in-law slapped the table and made a loud noise, "I can't wait!
I was startled by my mother-in-law's sudden movements, and my whole body froze in place, at a loss.
At this moment, Zhang's mother hurriedly walked over, "Mom, don't be too excited. Jiajia and they have just been in love, and of course it will take time to get married. Don't be in a hurry. "
But the mother-in-law didn't mean to be dissuaded at all, "Time? Our family doesn't have that much time! Jiajia, how old are you this year? 25 years old, right? In two or three years, you will be thirty, and it will be difficult to have children at that time!"
I looked at my mother-in-law, who was pale, trembling and completely unsure of what to answer. I've always been afraid to face my parents, let alone a strong mother-in-law like this. I subconsciously took a step back, trying to escape the suffocating atmosphere.
"Mom, don't be embarrassed Jiajia. At this time, Zhang Ming finally spoke to dissuade, "We will think about it slowly, don't rush for a while." "
"What to consider? What else to consider?" The mother-in-law didn't have the slightest intention of restraining herself, "I'm sorry, you two are just irresponsible! Don't you want to add a little to our family?"
I was chilling, my head was lowered, and my eyes were already red. I never imagined that what would have been a heartwarming scene would turn out like this. My mother-in-law's strength made me feel suffocated, and my heart was full of grievances and uneasiness.
Just when I was about to collapse, Zhang Ming suddenly reached out and grabbed me, and said softly: "Jiajia, let's go out for a walk." "
I looked up at him blankly, my eyes full of tears. Zhang Ming held my hand tightly, his eyes full of concern and apology. I nodded slightly, and let him pull me out of the suffocating room.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I couldn't suppress my inner emotions anymore, and I fell on Zhang Ming's shoulder and cried. Zhang Ming gently patted my back and kept comforting, "Jiajia, I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Don't be upset, let's face it together, okay?"
I looked up into Zhang Ming's gentle eyes and said intermittently: "Ming, I, I really can't stand your mother's embarrassment. She, how could she do this to me?"
Zhang Ming sighed, "I'm sorry, Jiajia." My mom is like that sometimes, she's so desperate for grandchildren. Don't take it too seriously, I'll communicate with her well. "
"But your mother doesn't like me at all. She, she wouldn't even give me a chance. My voice choked, "Ming, if your mother keeps doing this, I, I really don't know what to do." "
Seeing my aggrieved appearance, Zhang Ming hugged me distressedly. "Jiajia, I'm sorry, I made you wronged. I'll explain it to my mom so she understands how good you are. Can you trust me?"
I hugged Zhang Ming tightly, feeling his warmth and comfort. However, my mother-in-law's words still echoed in my mind, making me feel helpless and hopeless. I don't know how long I can hold out, whether I'm going to give up or keep facing it.
Just when I was confused and at a loss, Zhang Ming suddenly took my hand and turned around and left.
"Ming, you, where are you going?" I asked, confused.
"Jiajia, let's go first. I don't want you to continue to be wronged. Zhang Ming said firmly.
I panicked, "But, but we've just arrived, you, do you want to escape?"
"It's not an escape, Jiajia. I just want to take you away from here and give you a comfortable environment. Zhang Ming said softly, "I don't want you to be bullied by my mother, we should have a good talk." "
I stood still, not knowing what to do. But Zhang Ming did not flinch at all, but firmly took my hand and led me out of this home that caused me pain.
Looking at Zhang Ming's resolute back, my heart was full of mixed feelings. I couldn't understand why my mother-in-law was so difficult for me, it made me feel very aggrieved and helpless. And Zhang Ming also felt sorry for this and wanted to take me away from this painful place.
However, my heart was also mixed with reluctance. After all, this is Zhang Ming's home, and we should really communicate with our mother-in-law to resolve the misunderstanding. What's more, this was also a place I was looking forward to, and I longed to be part of this warm family.
Walking on the way home, I couldn't help but recall the good times when I fell in love with Zhang Ming. We met at a chance colleague gathering, and Zhang Ming at that time gave people a gentle and delicate feeling, which made me involuntarily attracted to him. We slowly got closer and found that we complemented each other's personalities and got along well. Eventually, we were open and honest with each other and established a relationship.
Since then, we've been like a pair of good friends who don't talk about anything. Every time I am with Zhang Ming, I feel loved and cherished. He was always attentive to my little bits, and gave me support and encouragement when I was confused and worried. Because of his company, I have become more and more courageous to face the challenges of life.
However, the moment I stepped into Zhang Ming's house today, everything changed. I thought we were about to enter a new phase of our lives, but my mother-in-law's aggressiveness and harshness made me feel hopeless. I was afraid that I would not fit into the family and that it would cast a shadow on our feelings.
"Jiajia, I'm sorry. I'm the one who wronged you. Zhang Ming apologized softly.
I shook my head, "No, it's not your fault. It's that I don't have the courage to face my mother-in-law. "
"No, Jiajia. I should have communicated with my mom well, but I left you alone. Zhang Ming stretched out his hand and hugged me lightly, "I will explain it to her well, and I will definitely let her understand you." Can you trust me?"
I looked up into Zhang Ming's gentle eyes and nodded, "I believe in you, Ming." "
However, my heart was still full of struggles. I know that neither Zhang Ming nor I are willing to give up this relationship, but my mother-in-law's attitude makes me feel bleak. I am afraid that this incident will cause us irreparable damage.
Suddenly, I had an idea, "Ming, maybe we can take the initiative to apologize to your mother first." Let her know that we really love each other. "
Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment, "Jiajia, but why do you want to apologize? It's obvious that my mother is too embarrassed for you." "
I shook my head slightly, "But we have to find a way to lighten the mood." If we try to run away, we will make things worse. "
Zhang Ming pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, then let's go back." I believe that as long as we communicate sincerely, we will be able to make my mother understand. "
I held Zhang Ming's hand tightly and took a deep breath, "Well, I'm ready." Let's face it together. "
After saying that, we turned around and walked back to Zhang Ming's home. My heart was both apprehensive and determined that I had to overcome my fears and fight for our future.
My heart pounded as we stood in front of the familiar gate again. Zhang Ming patted the back of my hand gently, giving me strength and courage. Taking a deep breath, I rang the doorbell.
It didn't take long for the door to open again, and what greeted Granny Zhang's cold face was her face.
"Mother-in-law, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now. I plucked up the courage to say, "I, I would love to be part of your family." However, I still need time to get used to it all. Could you please give me a chance to talk? "
Granny Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then her brows relaxed. She looked me up and down, and finally nodded, "Since I'm in too much of a hurry, then I should give you time to think about it." Jiajia, will you give us a chance?"
I nodded hurriedly, "Mother-in-law, I'm willing." I really want to be a part of your family. "
Seeing that I was so sincere, Granny Zhang's eyes softened a lot. She leaned out of the way, "Alright, come in." Let's have a good chat. "
I walked into Zhang Ming's house with a sense of relief, held Zhang Ming's hand, and smiled at him. At this moment, I finally felt hope. As long as we work together, we will be able to overcome all difficulties.
