I am an ordinary housewife named Xiaoyu. I have an ordinary and warm family and a dear husband named Jay. We have been married for seven years, and in these seven years, we have been loving each other and facing the ups and downs of life together.
My husband is a gentle and understanding person who always tries his best to keep the family in harmony. My mother-in-law, on the other hand, is a traditional and strict elder who has her own strict expectations and requirements for the family.
The beginning of the conflict seems to be in my and my mother-in-law's views on the house. We now live in a small three-bedroom apartment, which is not big, but it is big enough for the three of us. However, my mother-in-law always felt that the house was too small for us, and she wanted us to transfer the house to our daughter and then buy a bigger and better house.
"Xiaoyu, your house is too small, and now you have a daughter, you have to leave some space for her. My mother-in-law used to say this to me.
I know she has good intentions, but Jay and I both feel that the house is enough for us right now. We feel that even if our daughter grows up in the future, she will not need such a large space. However, my mother-in-law insisted on her opinion and talked to us about this every time she came to our house.
"Mom, our house is okay now, why change it?" Jay tried to persuade his mother.
"Son, think about the future. This house is too small for your family. The mother-in-law's tone revealed firmness.
Jay and I both felt the pressure, we didn't want to have a conflict with my mother-in-law, but we didn't want to give up our choice easily. It bothered me so much that I even began to wonder if we had made the right decision.
My mother-in-law's words kept echoing in my head, and I began to feel more and more that my choices about my family seemed a little selfish. So, Jay and I started discussing this issue frequently.
"Jay, do you think we should consider a bigger house?" I asked, hesitantly.
Jay frowned, "I'm thinking about that too. Mom is also reasonable, now that her daughter is two years old, she will have to consider her learning and living environment when she grows up. ”
I sighed softly, "But our house is fine now, and it's very convenient for my daughter to live here when she was young." ”
"yes, but she won't be able to grow up. Think about it, her toys, her school bag, her bed, they all have to have a fixed place. Jay's words made me ponder.
I began to understand that perhaps my mother-in-law's worries were not unreasonable. Our daughter is close to our hearts, and her future and upbringing certainly require serious consideration.
"Shall we start looking at the other houses, then?" I asked tentatively.
Jay thought for a moment, "Okay, we can take a look at the surrounding properties first and see if there are any suitable ones for us." ”
So, we started looking for a new house. After looking at a few houses, we found a house with a nice location and a reasonable layout. Although the price is a little more expensive than the current house, we feel that the investment is worth it considering our daughter's future.
Jay and I decided to buy the new house, and my mother-in-law was very happy when she learned of our decision. "Kids, you made the right decision," she said. For the sake of your daughter's future, you have to think more about her. ”
Looking at my mother-in-law's smile, I felt an inexplicable sense of relief. I have learned that family harmony is not only about accommodating each other, but also about working for a common future. Although we were a little conflicted about choosing a house, the final decision was for the happiness of our family.
After moving into a new house, we started a new life. The daughter is also growing up, and her laughter fills the whole family. And Jay and I cherish every moment of harmony even more.
However, the happy life did not last long. The mother-in-law suddenly had a serious illness, which put the whole family under heavy pressure.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" I asked anxiously, looking at my pale-faced mother-in-law lying on the bed.
"It's fine, it's just a little dizzy. My mother-in-law forced a smile, but I could tell that she was not in good health.
After discussing with Jay, we decided to take my mother-in-law to our house to take care of her. We know that what my mother-in-law needs most now is the companionship and care of her family.
"Mom, you can live in our house, and we will take good care of you. "I patted my mother-in-law's hand and tried to soothe her emotions.
"Kid, you're so nice. "Mother-in-law looked at us gratefully.
From that day on, life in our family became busy and orderly. Jay and I take turns taking care of my mother-in-law's diet and daily life, trying our best to make her feel comfortable. And the daughter has become her mother-in-law's pistachio, and her liveliness and cuteness can always bring infinite joy to her mother-in-law.
"Mother-in-law, you see, this is the stewed chicken soup I made for you, and it is good for your body to drink it. "I handed my mother-in-law a steaming bowl of chicken soup.
"Thank you, it's so sweet. The mother-in-law said with emotion.
Watching my mother-in-law eat the chicken soup I made, I felt a sense of satisfaction and happiness. The warmth of family is not only in happy moments, but also in the support and companionship when facing difficulties together.
However, my mother-in-law's condition is getting worse day by day. The doctor told us that her disease was at an advanced stage and that surgery was the only way to slow the progression of her condition.
"Mom, you must be strong, we will be by your side. "I held my mother-in-law's hand, tears blurring my eyes.
"Child, you are all my pride, and I will try my best to persevere. The mother-in-law struggled to squeeze out a smile.
The operation went well, but my mother-in-law's health deteriorated day by day. Her complexion was getting worse and worse, and she was moving less and less.
"Mom, you have to take care of your illness, we are all by your side. I whispered to my mother-in-law.
"I know, kid. I'll try. The mother-in-law's voice was weak but firm.
In the following days, we tried our best to create a comfortable and warm environment for my mother-in-law. We take turns to accompany her and do everything for her. Although our mother-in-law's illness has left us with a knife in our hearts, we still firmly believe that family love can overcome everything.
Just when our family was taking care of my mother-in-law day and night, an accident happened.
It was a normal evening, I was preparing dinner for my mother-in-law, and Jay and his daughter were playing games in the living room. Suddenly, I heard Jay screaming.
"Xiaoyu, come and see!" Jay's voice was full of horror.
I quickly put down what I was doing and ran to the living room. I saw my daughter lying on the floor, crying with horror on her face, and Jay squatting nervously next to her.
"Jay, what's wrong? What's going on?" I asked anxiously.
Jay pointed to his daughter's finger, and I followed his gaze, but I saw a shocking sight - my daughter's finger was bleeding and seemed to have been cut by something.
"Daughter, what's wrong with you? Did you fall?" I walked over quickly, anxiously checking my daughter's fingers.
"Mom, I'...... I didn't know it, but it hurt all of a sudden. The daughter was so frightened that she cried.
I panicked for a while, but I still tried my best to stay calm, "Jay, you go get the first aid kit, I'll bandage my daughter." ”
Jay hurriedly ran to get the first aid kit, and I quickly took out disinfectant cotton pads and band-aids to treat my daughter's wounds. Although the wound is not big, I still feel a heartache in my heart when I see my daughter's injured appearance.
"Mom, am I not good and make you all worried?" said the daughter, sobbing.
I picked up my daughter and patted her on the back, "No, baby, it was just an accident." Mom and Dad will protect you. ”
Jay looked at our mother and daughter, his eyes moistened a little, "Yes, baby, Daddy will always protect you." ”
Our family hugged each other tightly, and this unexpected occurrence made us more aware of the warmth and importance of family. We love each other, and no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together and get through them together.
When our daughter's wounds were treated, we decided to take her to the hospital for further testing to make sure she was not seriously injured. After examination, the doctor confirmed that the daughter's finger was only scratched by the toy and there was no other serious problem.
When we got home, we started taking care of my mother-in-law again. While the days at home have become busier, our love and support for each other has also become stronger.
Although my mother-in-law is still weak, she is full of gratitude and love for us. She often said to us, "Children, you are my greatest happiness." With you by my side, I am the happiest person. ”
We listened to my mother-in-law's words, and our hearts were filled with emotion and warmth. The power of family is so powerful that it allows us to face all the difficulties in life together and allows us to thrive in the support and love of each other.
Jie and I also understand better that family harmony is not only about tolerating each other, but also about supporting each other in the face of difficulties and moving forward together. We will always guard this warm little home forever.
Over time, the mother-in-law's condition did not improve, but gradually deteriorated. The doctor told us that my mother-in-law's condition had reached the point of no return, and that we could only try to alleviate her pain.
"Mom, don't worry, we'll be there for you. "I held my mother-in-law's hand and tried my best to make her feel our company and love.
"Kids, you are my greatest pride, and I am so proud of you. The mother-in-law's voice was weak but firm.
In the days that followed, our family surrounded my mother-in-law and tried our best to make her feel comfortable and at ease. We took turns staying by her side and doing everything for her. Although we all know that the departure of my mother-in-law is inevitable, we are still unwilling to give up, hoping to leave her with the last warmth and love.
"Mom, do you want anything else to eat? I'll get it ready for you. I asked softly, trying to hide my sadness.
"Xiaoyu, I just want to be with you. The mother-in-law closed her eyes slightly, feeling our company.
Jay and I looked at each other and smiled, silently squeezing each other's hands. In this last moment, we don't need words, our hearts have been blended with each other, and we share this heavy emotion.
My mother-in-law's condition worsened, and her breathing gradually became weaker. We all know that her departure is not far off.
"Kids, I'm ...... I can't do it anymore. The mother-in-law's voice was weak and trembling.
"Mom, don't talk, we're all here. I gently soothed my mother-in-law and tried my best to reassure her.
"Xiaoyu, Jie, you have to take good care of each other and be happy. The mother-in-law spoke with difficulty, her eyes full of reluctance and attachment.
"Mom, don't worry, we'll always be together. "I tried my best to keep my composure, but there was endless sadness in my heart.
Jie also held his mother-in-law's hand tightly, "Mom, don't worry, we will always guard each other." ”
At my mother-in-law's last moments, our family gathered around her bedside and watched her slowly close her eyes. She had a serene smile on her face, as if to tell us that she had gone peacefully and was no longer suffering.
The loss of my mother-in-law has left us with a knife, but we know that she will always live in our hearts, and her love and care will always be with us. We will continue to cherish each other and continue to protect this warm little home forever.
