As soon as I got home from work, I heard my mother-in-law loudly counting my wife, Xiao Li, in the living room.
"You idler, you have nothing to do all day! What are you doing at home?" The mother-in-law pointed to a grain of rice on the ground, and her face turned pale.
Xiao Li lowered his head, his eyes gradually turned red, and he didn't say a word.
"You can't even cook a meal! This dish is salty, that dish is light, can you cook?" The mother-in-law angrily pointed out the dishes on the plate one by one.
Seeing this, my heart was filled with anger. Xiao Li is such a virtuous and kind daughter-in-law, busy with housework every day, why was she so harshly criticized by her mother-in-law? I began to reflect on whether my mother-in-law's approach was reasonable.
"Mother-in-law, don't talk about Xiao Li like that. I tried to calm my mother-in-law down, "She has worked hard, and it is really not easy to do housework. "
"Effort? Where did she try?" My mother-in-law didn't listen to my persuasion at all, but was still aggressive, "You young people are like that, always idle and idle! I wasn't so lazy when I was young!"
I looked at Xiao Li's tearful appearance, and my heart was even more indignant. As a husband, I have to do justice for my wife and not allow my mother-in-law to hurt her self-esteem like this.
"Mother-in-law, what you said is too much!" I retorted, "Xiao Li works hard and takes care of household chores every day, and he can't be 100% perfect. You shouldn't accuse her so harshly!"
"You don't have to argue for her here!" The mother-in-law's eyes widened angrily, "If she really tried her best, how could the house be so messy? You two are simply a pair of incompetent children, and you can't even do some housework!"
Unexpectedly, my rebuttal angered my mother-in-law, and she intensified her efforts and began to count down our "incompetent children". Her tone became more arrogant and unreasonable. Seeing my mother-in-law so arrogant and unsightly, I finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Mother-in-law, you are old, and we all respect you. But you can't be so aggressive!" I retorted to her loudly, "Xiao Li works so hard every day, what qualifications do you have to say that she is incompetent? You should reflect on your words and deeds!"
In this way, the quarrel between the three of us became more and more intense, and neither of us was willing to back down half a step. The mother-in-law scolded, and Xiao Li cried even more. We thought it was going to go on and on.
At this juncture, my father came back from work. Seeing the scene of a mess of porridge at home, he hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation.
"What's going on? What are you arguing about?" Father asked, confused.
I told my father everything about my mother-in-law's unreasonable troubles and the counting of Xiao Li. Xiao Li also sobbed on the side and explained his hard work.
"Excessive? The mother-in-law was right, "I'm just telling the truth! Look at this house, it's a mess, it's a mess!"
"Even if the house is indeed a little messy, it is Xiao Li who is in charge alone, you can't accuse her so harshly!" The father said, "Xiao Li works hard every day, you should be more considerate of her." "
Under the repeated persuasion of her son, the mother-in-law finally calmed down. She seemed to realize that her words and deeds had crossed the line, and began to reflect on whether her actions had gone too far.
While the iron was hot, I began to explain my point of view to my mother-in-law: "Mother-in-law, you are old, and we understand that you have some traditional ideas. But times are advancing, and we should treat our family members in a more tolerant and understanding way. "
"That's right, Mom, you need to change the way you treat your family. The father also chimed in, "Xiao Li has worked very hard, you can't always point fingers at her." "
Then, Xiao Li also plucked up the courage to say what was in his heart: "Mother-in-law, I have always tried my best, but I can't fully meet your requirements. I sincerely ask that you will be considerate of my hard work and stop pointing fingers at me. "
After listening to our words, my mother-in-law seemed silent for a long time. After a while, she sighed and said, "I'm really too complacent, old-fashioned, and I should change the way I treat my family." I'll correct it later. "
In this way, this family conflict was finally resolved. My mother-in-law realized her mistakes, and we learned to communicate with her in a more rational and tolerant way.
Since that day, the mother-in-law has indeed changed a lot. She no longer criticizes Xiao Li and has learned to respect our way of life. Sometimes Xiao Li doesn't do it perfectly, and her mother-in-law can also be considerate and tolerant, not as calculating as before.
The change of my mother-in-law has made the atmosphere of our whole family more harmonious. I no longer have to worry about Xiao Li being unreasonably accused by my mother-in-law. Everyone learns to get along in a more understanding and tolerant way. Even if there are disagreements, we will choose to sit down and communicate well rather than arbitrarily impose our own ideas.
Once, Xiao Li's dishes were indeed a little out of line with her mother-in-law's taste. But this time, instead of being as angry as before, the mother-in-law patiently pointed out the shortcomings and suggested how Xiao Li could improve next time. Although Xiao Li was still a little apprehensive, seeing her mother-in-law's changes, she also let down her guard and listened carefully to her mother-in-law's opinions.
In this way, the atmosphere of our family has become more harmonious. The mother-in-law is no longer the old lady who loves to lose her temper and is aggressive, but a kind elder who is amiable and tolerant. Xiao Li is no longer the daughter-in-law who is submissive and timid, but has become confident and generous, expressing her thoughts without scruples. As the head of the family, I am also very relieved to see that my family can understand and respect each other.
Through this incident, I realized how precious family harmony is. Although each of us has our own shortcomings and shortcomings, as long as we resolve differences in a rational and inclusive way, we will definitely be able to reach the end. Only by respecting and understanding each other can a family be full of warmth. With the mutual support of our families, we can grow together and move towards a better future together.
Soon after, my younger brother Xiao Ming also returned home from school for the summer vacation. He was also surprised to see that the atmosphere at home was so harmonious.
"Brother, why is my mother-in-law so amiable to my sister-in-law recently? Xiao Ming asked me quietly.
I told Xiao Ming about the family conflict that happened before and how my mother-in-law reformed herself. Xiao Ming nodded again and again after hearing this, and seemed to be sincerely happy about his mother-in-law's change.
"In the past, my mother-in-law was too strict with my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law was quite pitiful. Xiao Ming said, "Fortunately, now that my mother-in-law has figured it out, you get along much better." "
Yes, the change of my mother-in-law has brought too many benefits to our whole family. Xiao Li no longer has to tremble like before, for fear that the slightest negligence will cause trouble. She has become more confident and cheerful, and she is more comfortable and efficient in her household chores.
Once, Xiao Li accidentally knocked over a vase while sweeping the floor. In the past, she would have been scared a lot, for fear of angering her mother-in-law. But this time, the mother-in-law did not get angry when she saw this, but took the initiative to check the situation and comforted Xiao Li and said: "It's okay, it's just careless, just be careful next time." "
Seeing this scene, I was secretly glad that my mother-in-law had finally learned to be tolerant. Xiao Li also let go of the burden in her heart because of her mother-in-law's understanding and continued to complete the housework with her hands and feet.
In the evening, we sat happily at the table for dinner. A few home-cooked dishes carefully prepared by Xiao Li are placed on the table, and the aroma is fragrant. The mother-in-law ate a few bites and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, this dish is well done, much better than the last time." "
Hearing her mother-in-law's praise, Xiao Li's face showed a happy smile. In the past, her mother-in-law was very critical of her cooking, and she was often discouraged because of this. But now that my mother-in-law has learned to appreciate her efforts, she is naturally more motivated to improve her cooking skills.
Even when my father and I came home from work, we didn't have to worry about running into the chaos at home. Xiao Li's role as a housewife at home is dutiful, and the housework is all done in an orderly manner. The mother-in-law also took the initiative to help from time to time, and the two looked at each other and smiled, like a mother and daughter who were intimate.
Sometimes I can't help but sigh that if my mother-in-law could treat Xiao Li with a tolerant and understanding attitude from the beginning, then many years of family conflicts would not have happened. But let the past pass, and the harmony of the present is the most precious.
In this way, our family's life returned to its former peace. Xiao Li is no longer an "idler" in the mouth of her mother-in-law, but a dedicated virtuous helper. The mother-in-law is no longer an aggressive and irritable old lady, but a kind and kind family elder. My father and I work outside the home, and when we get home, we can enjoy the warm atmosphere. Xiao Ming also learned to take the initiative to share housework at home during the summer vacation, and he is no longer an idle idler.
One Sunday afternoon, it was rare for our family to get together and sit in the living room and gossip about family matters. My mother-in-law looked at us happily and smiled happily.
"In the past, I was too strict with Xiao Li, and it was inevitable that my words would hurt people. The mother-in-law spoke slowly, "But now that I have figured it out, you are all good children, and I should treat my family in a more tolerant and understanding way." "
"If only you had figured it out, Mom. The father patted the back of his mother-in-law's hand and said earnestly, "Family members need to be considerate of each other and resolve differences with love, rather than arbitrarily imposing their own ideas." "
"Yes, mother-in-law, we will definitely respect and care for each other more in the future. I also nodded again and again, watching Xiao Li Xianbao hand over a glass of warm water.
The mother-in-law picked up the water cup and took a sip, her eyebrows and eyes full of kindness. She said slowly: "With good sons and daughters-in-law like you, my old bones can enjoy my old age in peace." Our family must always be in harmony and love each other. "
In this way, our family spent a rare weekend in a peaceful atmosphere. Seeing everyone happy, I was extremely gratified. A harmonious family is the greatest haven and source of strength for each of us. As long as we treat each other with understanding and tolerance, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and move towards a happy future together.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Xiao Ming also graduated from school and entered social work. One day, he called out of the blue, saying that he had something important to tell the whole family.
"What is so important that even my mother-in-law has to be called?" I'm curious about Xiao Ming's mysteries.
"You'll know when the time comes. Xiao Ming was vague and didn't want to reveal anything.
In this way, on a weekend afternoon, our whole family gathered in the living room, waiting for Xiao Ming's "big announcement". The mother-in-law held a warm cup of tea with a kind smile on her face. Xiao Li diligently added tea and water to everyone, looking virtuous and kind. The father couldn't hide his excited expression, and seemed to have a guess about what Xiao Ming was going to say.
Finally, Xiao Ming cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Dad, Mom, Mother-in-law, I have something important to tell you. "
We all stared at Xiao Ming tightly, for fear of missing a word from him. Xiao Ming took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I've decided to get married!"
"Huh?!" We were all shocked by Xiao Ming's words. I didn't expect him to suddenly throw such a "bombshell"!
"Xiao Ming, are you serious?" The mother-in-law's eyes widened in surprise, "You just graduated from college and are getting married?"
"Yes, mother-in-law, I'm serious. Xiao Ming nodded, "I've been in love for more than a year, and both parents have met." We decided to get married this year and build a happy family in the future. "
Hearing this, we all showed a look of relief. As the only son in the family, Xiao Ming can start a family as soon as possible, which is really happy.
"So what does your fiancée do? The mother-in-law couldn't wait to start asking about the details of Xiao Ming's fiancée.
Xiao Ming patiently answered them one by one, took out his mobile phone, and showed us a few photos of his fiancée. I saw that the girl was beautiful, gentle and generous, and she was indeed a virtuous and good woman.
"Good boy, beautiful and beautiful, he will definitely be a virtuous helper in the future. The mother-in-law nodded again and again, obviously appreciating Xiao Ming's fiancée.
Next, we began to discuss Xiao Ming's marriage in full swing. As the bridegroom's official, what does he need to prepare? Where is the right place to buy a new house? What should be done to make the wedding more grand and atmospheric? As soon as the matters related to the wedding are mentioned, everyone spits and argues passionately.
Eventually, we drew up a preliminary wedding plan. According to the plan, Xiao Ming's wedding will take place on an auspicious day three months later. The new house was decided to buy a new community in the city center, which has a unique geographical location, and the life of the young couple will be more convenient in the future.
"When the time comes, the wedding must be lively and extraordinary!" The mother-in-law patted the table and said categorically, "My only son is finally going to get married, this is a major moment in life, and we must not be careless!"
"Don't worry, mother-in-law, we will definitely give Xiao Ming a grand and lively wedding that will never be forgotten. I smiled and assured my mother-in-law.
In this way, we began to make intensive preparations for Xiao Ming's wedding. My mother-in-law was in charge of the overall situation, Xiao Li carefully planned the wedding process, and my father and I were in charge of handling the practical work such as buying a new house. The family worked together and the division of labor was clear, and the preparations for the wedding were getting better.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ming's wedding date has arrived. Following our carefully planned process, the entire wedding process was a spectacular one-off event. The bride and groom, in the presence of the whole family, solemnly read their vows and exchanged rings in the church covered with red carpet. Seeing that Xiao Ming finally got married and started a business, my father and I were in tears. The mother-in-law was even more excited and wiped away tears on the side.
After the wedding, our whole family gathered together to celebrate this festive occasion. The little two cut the festive cake, and everyone toasted to celebrate, and the scene was happy. The mother-in-law was even more happy, and kept blessing the little couple to grow old together and have children and grandchildren.
"Xiao Ming, you finally have your own family. The mother-in-law took Xiao Ming's hand and said earnestly, "You have to take good care of your wife, and be as considerate as your brother is to Xiao Li." You must love each other and be happy forever!"
"I will, mother-in-law. Xiao Ming nodded, a happy smile on his face.
In this way, with the blessings of the whole family, Xiao Ming and his wife embarked on a new journey in life. I believe that with our earnest entrustment, they will be able to form a harmonious and happy family, love forever, and grow old together.
This festive moment also made me deeply realize how precious a happy family is. It is not only the most solid backing for each of us, but also the biggest motivation for us to work hard. As long as family members care for each other, understand each other, and resolve differences with understanding and tolerance, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and move towards a better future together.
Let's work hand in hand for this warm and harmonious family. Only in this way can we love each other for generations and be happy and healthy!
