Six days after returning to my parents' house, I called the Heaven and Earth Department for six days. After receiving a call from my mother-in-law, I decided not to go back to my parents' house anymore.
Once upon a time, there was a girl named Xiaoli. She got married in a village not far from her mother-in-law's house. She goes back to her parents' house every year to visit relatives, and her relationship with her mother-in-law has always been very good. However, recently returning to her parents' house has made her mood change subtly.
Xiaoli's maiden home is located in a mountain village, with beautiful scenery and simple folk customs. Every time she goes back, she always feels extremely happy. But this time, she found something at home that upset her.
Xiaoli has been back to her parents' house for seven days, six of which have been spent on the floor. Her parents were very old, and her mother-in-law kept calling her to urge her to go back. This change made Xiaoli feel very uncomfortable, because she had thought that returning to her parents' house would be a relaxing and pleasant thing.
One day, Xiaoli was washing clothes in her parents' yard when she suddenly received a call from her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law's voice was a little stiff, and she asked, "Xiaoli, when are you coming back? ”
Xiaoli felt a lot of pressure. While doing the laundry, she said, "Mother-in-law, I'll be back soon, it's just that my mother-in-law's house has been a little busy lately, I'll go back in a few days, okay?"
The mother-in-law's voice was still stiff: "Don't you go back for seven days every time? Why did it become a few days this time? Do you think our family is not good, so you don't want to come?"
When Xiaoli heard this, she was very angry. She originally planned to explain as gently as possible, but her mother-in-law's attitude made her feel very aggrieved. She insisted: "Mother-in-law, no, my mother's family has always been fine, but I feel that there are some things that need to be dealt with recently, so the plan has changed a little." ”
The mother-in-law didn't seem to listen, but still insisted on her own opinion: "You just don't think our family is good, so you don't want to come back, right?"
Xiaoli was so angry that she almost cried, but she knew that arguing with her mother-in-law would not solve the problem. She held back her tears and said calmly: "Mother-in-law, I really didn't mean that, I just think it's a bit special to go back to my parents' house this time, and I will go back as soon as possible." ” ”。
After hanging up the phone, Xiaoli sat in the courtyard with a heavy heart. She felt that she had been wronged, and her mother-in-law's attitude made her feel very uncomfortable. She thought that she had been married into her in-law's family for several years. Although her mother-in-law has always been kind to her, this quarrel makes her start to doubt her marriage.
In the next few days, Xiaoli was not happy at her parents' house. She felt trapped between her parents' family and her mother-in-law, unable to choose between them. Her parents wanted her to stay a little longer, but her mother-in-law kept urging her to go back. Xiaoli felt that she was in a dilemma.
One night, Xiaoli was lying alone in bed thinking about all this. She suddenly understood that the problem was not with her family, nor with her mother-in-law, but with herself. She felt a responsibility from the bottom of her heart not only to take care of her parents, but also to maintain her marriage. She decided to take the initiative and solve the problem.
The next day, Xiaoli called her mother-in-law and said, "Mother-in-law, I understand your concern, but I also hope you can understand my position. It's not that I don't want to go home, but there are things that need to be taken care of, and hopefully we can sit down and talk and find a solution. ”
The mother-in-law's voice softened a little and said, "Xiaoli, maybe I'm too anxious, I understand your difficulties, we can talk about it and find a compromise." ”
Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this was only part of the problem, but at least a good start. The days back to my parents' home have become more enjoyable. She worked hard to take care of her parents and also met her mother-in-law's expectations.
On the last day home, Xiaoli and her mother-in-law sat down and had a good chat. The two sides understood each other's concerns and needs and reached some common ground. The mother-in-law also promised to understand Xiaoli's position better, and Xiaoli also promised to think more about her mother-in-law's feelings.
