My name is Li Ming, and I am an ordinary office worker, but there are many untold stories hidden behind my ordinary family. My wife Xiaoli and I have been married for five years, and we are not too happy, but it is also quite uneventful. My mother-in-law, Aunt Wang, is a traditional Chinese mother-in-law who is stubborn and always picky about me. Although we don't live together, she always takes care of us during holidays or family dinners. Although my mother-in-law keeps saying that she respects our opinions, in practice, she always makes her own decisions and ignores our feelings.
This time, something unexpected happened. My wife, Xiaoli, suddenly told me that she was going to buy a house for her mother-in-law, and I was a little stunned. My mother-in-law had just finished the AA system, and the two of us were still discussing buying her a small gift to express our gratitude, but I didn't expect Xiaoli to plan to buy a house! I looked at her with wide eyes and some disbelief: "Are you sure? This is not a trivial matter. ”
Xiaoli nodded firmly: "Of course, I think this is something that should be done." After all, Auntie has paid a lot for us. ”
I sighed involuntarily, a little dissatisfied in my heart: "However, we don't have that much money. Besides, you know, I don't have a good relationship with your mother, and if I do, won't it make her even more inched?"
Xiaoli listened to my words, the expression on her face was a little complicated, and she sighed softly: "I know you may have some dissatisfaction and worries about this, but I think this is a good opportunity to improve our family relationship." ”
I shook my head: "But it's too risky, isn't it? We're already under a lot of financial pressure, and I'm afraid it's going to be even more difficult to add to this expense." ”
Xiaoli seemed to be prepared to say: "Actually, I have already thought about it, we can solve the financial problem by taking out loans." Moreover, I believe that such a move will make my mother more happy with us and maybe improve our relationship. ”
I pondered for a moment and understood Xiaoli's intentions, but I still hesitated a little: "This is indeed a risk, and we are not sure what will lead to this." ”
Xiaoli seemed to have anticipated my reaction, and she patted my hand gently: "I know this decision may make you a little uneasy, but I think it's worth the risk." We can't keep making mom feel like we're not good enough for her, maybe it's an opportunity for change. ”
I sighed, knowing that Xiaoli had already made up her mind, I didn't say anything more, just nodded silently. After all, I also want to improve my relationship with my mother-in-law, but I still feel a little worried about this way.
As time went on, we started the days of preparing for buying a house for our mother-in-law. Xiaoli was busy going to the bank to inquire about the loan, while I started to look for a suitable house. Thanks to our efforts, we finally found a moderately priced second-hand apartment on the outskirts of the city, which is not big, but the location is excellent and the environment is good.
When we told my mother-in-law the news, her expression was very surprised and even a little incredulous: "This is ...... Is that true? Why are you buying me a house?"
Xiaoli smiled and said, "Mom, this is a little bit of our heart for you, I hope you can like it." ”
When the mother-in-law heard this, her eyes were filled with tears, she took Xiaoli's hand and said gratefully: "You are so filial, I am really blessed." ”
I also felt a little relieved to see my mother-in-law's happiness, maybe it wasn't a completely wrong thing to do. Although I still have some worries in my heart, for the sake of Xiaoli, I also choose to believe in this decision.
However, when we thought everything was going to go smoothly, it turned out that things were not so simple. When we were about to go through the procedures for transferring the house, my mother-in-law suddenly made an unexpected request.
The mother-in-law looked at us mysteriously, with a hint of cunning in her eyes, and she slowly spoke: "Children, in fact, I have always had a small dream, that is, to own a sunny seaside villa. ”
Xiaoli and I glanced at each other, both feeling a little overwhelmed. Xiaoli tried to ease the atmosphere: "Mom, villas are much more expensive than apartments, and our current financial situation may be unbearable." ”
The mother-in-law smiled and waved her hand: "I know, I don't want you to buy it for me in full, I just hope that you can make a part of the down payment, and I will figure out the rest myself." ”
I couldn't help but interject, "Mom, we've already purchased this apartment for you, and that's all we can do." ”
The mother-in-law shook her head and said nothing, she looked at us with some expectation in her eyes: "Children, you have done so much for me, I really appreciate it." But, as you know, I've always longed for a life by the sea, and if I can make that dream come true, I will be happier. ”
Xiaoli frowned, she looked at her mother-in-law, and her tone was a little helpless: "Mom, you know our situation, it is indeed difficult to buy a villa." ”
The mother-in-law was unmoved, and she said firmly: "Children, I know that you are doing it for my good, but I also have my own ideas. I would be very grateful if you could help me a little. ”
I was silent for a moment, but finally said, "Okay, we'll think about it." ”
When the mother-in-law heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on her face: "Thank you, children. I'm sure you'll be able to help me make this little dream come true. ”
Looking at my mother-in-law's satisfied appearance, I hesitated. Although I wanted to try to fulfill my mother-in-law's wishes, buying a villa was really a big challenge for us. The conflict between me and Xiaoli began to gradually intensify, and I didn't know how we should deal with this problem.
For the next few days, Xiaoli and I have been arguing over this issue. I think we have bought a house for my mother-in-law, we have paid a lot, and we should not be burdened more for her dreams. Xiaoli, on the other hand, thinks that we should try to fulfill our mother-in-law's wishes, so that our relationship can be improved. The argument between us became more and more intense, and even began to affect our feelings.
After an argument, I decided to talk to my mother-in-law and I wanted to find out what she really thought. When I came to my mother-in-law's house, she was sitting in the living room drinking tea, looking a little lonely. I walked over, sat down next to her, and asked softly, "Auntie, why do you have to buy a villa?"
My mother-in-law raised her head and looked at me, with some confusion in her eyes: "Child, do you know, I have always longed for life by the sea. When I was a child, my home was very close to the sea, and every time I went to the beach, I felt very happy. Later, as I grew older and the pressure of life increased, I never had the opportunity to go to the beach again. Now, although you have bought a house for me, I still feel a sense of emptiness and regret in my heart, and I hope to have a little world of my own, a place where I can relax. ”
Listening to my mother-in-law's words, I couldn't help but feel emotional. Perhaps, buying a villa is indeed a luxury for us, but for my mother-in-law, it is an opportunity to fulfill her wishes. I thought maybe we should try to accommodate our mother-in-law's wishes, even though it would mean more financial pressure, but as long as we could make her happy, it would all be worth it.
I decided to talk to Xiaoli and see if I could find a solution. After all, we are a family, and only by being together can we face any difficulties.
Xiaoli and I finally sat down and had a good talk, and I expressed to her my understanding and support for my mother-in-law's wishes. Xiaoli also gradually let go of the conflicting resistance between me and my mother-in-law, and we decided to do our best to help my mother-in-law realize her dream.
So, we started to find a suitable villa for our mother-in-law. It takes a lot of time and effort to search online and consult with real estate agents. Eventually, in a seaside resort, we found a villa with beautiful scenery and a comfortable environment.
When we took my mother-in-law to see the house, she was as excited as a child. She circled and circled around the villa, praising and praising as her eyes glistened with tears of joy. Seeing my mother-in-law so happy, Xiaoli and I also felt satisfied, and felt that all the efforts were worth it.
We decided to go through the process of buying a house as soon as possible, but in the process of preparation, we encountered another unexpected obstacle. It turned out that there was a dispute over a property in her mother-in-law's name, which caused her to be unable to go through the normal procedures for buying a house. This accident left us in a state of confusion.
After a lot of twists and turns, we finally found a solution and successfully solved the problem of the property in my mother-in-law's name. Subsequently, we successfully completed the purchase of the villa. When we got the keys to the villa, my mother-in-law danced with joy and thanked us non-stop.
All this hard work and dedication finally paid off and our family had a lovely and memorable holiday in the villa. My mother-in-law had a lot of fun at the beach, going for a walk on the beach every morning and admiring the starry sky from the balcony in the evening.
Seeing my mother-in-law so happy, Xiaoli and I also felt satisfied. Perhaps, this is the power of family, as long as we unite and work together, we can overcome any difficulties and create our own happy life.
Looking back on this experience, I deeply understand that although there will be various challenges in family relationships, as long as we understand, tolerate and support them with our hearts, we will be able to resolve conflicts and create a better future.
The pleasant time spent at the villa made our relationship more harmonious, and Xiaoli and I gradually let go of all kinds of contradictions and conflicts in our hearts. Our family spent an unforgettable holiday in our villa by the sea, and that time seemed to be a beautiful picture that will forever be etched in my heart.
However, life is realistic after all. After the holidays, we were back in real life. Xiaoli and I also began to deal with new challenges and problems. After discussing with Xiaoli, we decided to rent out the apartment we originally bought for our mother-in-law, which on the one hand can reduce our financial pressure and on the other hand, it can also bring us a certain income.
Renting out the apartment didn't go well, and it took us a lot of time and effort to find the right tenant. But eventually, with a recommendation from a young couple, we finally found a reliable tenant. They are a young couple with a stable job and a regular life that gives us a lot of confidence.
After renting out the apartment, we started a peaceful life again. Despite all the twists and turns, I feel that our family relationship has become stronger. The tacit understanding and trust between Xiaoli and me have also become deeper and deeper, and we understand that as long as we unite and face the difficulties in life together, we will be able to overcome everything.
And the mother-in-law also found her own happiness by the sea in the villa. Every time I video call with her, she is always smiling and sharing her life by the sea. I looked at my mother-in-law's happy appearance, and my heart was full of emotion and relief.
Perhaps, the contradictions and challenges in family relationships will never disappear, but as long as we understand, tolerate and support with our hearts, we will be able to create our own happy life. I deeply understand that family is the most important pillar of our lives, and only when the family is harmonious can we be truly happy.
