I'm Yang Jing, an ordinary young woman from a small city in southern China. After getting married, I entered the big family of the Zhang family. The Zhang family has been rich for generations, my son is my husband, a typical family master, and my mother-in-law is a traditional housewife, who still maintains her love and sense of responsibility for her family despite her advanced age. My husband and I welcomed a lovely baby in the first year of our marriage, and our family of three lived happily.
However, happiness is not always long-lasting. I had a serious conflict with my mother-in-law over my husband's marital house.
It all stemmed from my dissatisfaction with where we live now. Although this house is spacious and bright, it is the old house of my mother-in-law decades ago, with an outdated layout and a somewhat outdated decoration. For a young family, I would like to have a home that is more modern and more in line with our aesthetic concepts.
The mother-in-law was extremely puzzled by this. In her opinion, this home is the result of most of her life with her wife, and it is the condensation of all memories and emotions, how can it be easily changed?
We have argued several times over this matter, and each time to no avail. However, a recent altercation left me feeling particularly frustrated. One night, my mother-in-law and I had another quarrel over the house, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
"Mom, I really hope we can get a new house, a place that is more suitable for our family. I tried to explain to my mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law was silent for a moment, then said with a frown: "I really don't understand what you're thinking. Isn't this home good? Why are you always dissatisfied?"
"Mom, it's not that we're dissatisfied, it's that we want to have a better living environment. "I tried to get her to understand.
"I know what you mean. The mother-in-law suddenly spoke, her tone became a little serious, "You don't think this family is big enough and beautiful enough, do you?"
I was a little surprised, and I didn't know why my mother-in-law suddenly said that.
"Yes, Mom, that's what it means. I nodded hesitantly.
"Well, since you think so, then I'll go find someone to estimate it tomorrow and see if I can sell this house and get a bigger and more beautiful one. The mother-in-law's tone was resolute, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Mom, what are you ......" I was a little at a loss, I didn't expect my mother-in-law to agree.
"Don't pretend, I know what you mean. The mother-in-law suddenly laughed, "Actually, I have long noticed your dissatisfaction with this family, but I haven't said it." But, no matter what, this home means so much to me that I can't afford to give it up easily. However, since you all think so, I will not stop you. ”
I listened to my mother-in-law's words, and my heart was both moved and guilty. Perhaps, I really didn't think about my mother-in-law's feelings. She is a woman who cares about her family, and she has a deep affection for this family, but I only care about the beauty of appearance, but I ignore the preciousness in it.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I really didn't expect you to understand it that way. I said with emotion.
"Child, home is a lifelong thing, not something that can be sold if you sell it. You young people always like to pursue novelty, but the real home depends on everyone to protect and manage it. "My mother-in-law looked at me deeply, and her tone was full of love and teaching.
I suddenly understood that home is not a simple house, but a place that carries too many emotions and memories. I should cherish what I have in front of me, rather than blindly chasing the external appearance.
"Mom, you're right. I looked at my mother-in-law gratefully, "I will cherish this family more in the future and run it together with you." ”
The mother-in-law smiled and shook her head, "Silly child, I don't want you not to pursue a new life, I just hope you can understand that the meaning of home is not only the size of the house and the gorgeous decoration, but also the mutual care and tolerance of our family." As long as we are heart-to-heart, no matter where we are, it is a warm home. ”
I was touched by my mother-in-law's words and deeply understood the true meaning of home. So, my husband and I decided to put our plans on hold for the time being, and instead focus on running our current home to make it more warm and beautiful.
However, it was at this time that an unexpected piece of news disrupted our plans. I received a notice from the company that the company would be making layoffs due to poor performance, and I, as a new employee, was the first to bear the brunt.
I was in a panic that layoffs meant losing jobs and that our financial situation was going to be under great pressure. I was a little overwhelmed and discussed with my husband what to do.
"What can I do about this, my dear?" I asked anxiously.
The husband frowned and thought, "We don't have a lot of savings, and if I support the family alone, it will be a bit difficult." However, I believe there will be a turnaround. ”
"I hope so, too. "But the most important thing now is to find a new job." ”
Just as we were worried about our livelihood, my mother-in-law suddenly spoke next to us, "Children, I heard that you have been having some difficulties recently, I have a proposal, I don't know if you are willing to hear it." ”
My husband and I looked at my mother-in-law curiously, secretly looking forward to her advice.
"I plan to sell our house and use the money from the sale to help you buy a new house, and by the way, solve your problem of changing houses. That way, you don't have to worry about the house. "The mother-in-law said it rightly and looked very firm.
My husband and I looked at each other, and our hearts welled up with gratitude. Mother-in-law's words not only solved our predicament, but also made us feel her love and support for us.
"Mom, this ...... Do you really want to?" I asked, incredulously.
"Of course I do. My mother-in-law smiled and patted my hand, "This family originally existed for our family, and I am willing to give everything for your happiness." ”
I was so moved that I almost cried, and I was deeply touched by my mother-in-law's generosity and kindness. I know that we must cherish this family and family, and no matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, we must unite and face them together.
So, our family worked together and started a new life. My mother-in-law sold the old house and helped us buy a modern new house, and I successfully found a satisfactory job, and the family's financial situation gradually improved.
In our new home, we live every day to the fullest and happier. My mother-in-law is still the backbone of the family, taking care of our daily life, and my husband and I are also doing our best to run the family, making this home full of warmth and happiness.
And whenever I see my mother-in-law busy at home, my heart is full of gratitude and admiration. She is a woman who cares for her family and can do anything for the sake of her family, and I am deeply touched by this maternal love and sacrifice. I am determined to be filial to her so that she can live a happy and healthy life in her old age.
In the new house, our family is living more and more harmoniously. The relationship between my mother-in-law and I has also become closer, and my respect and gratitude for her have increased day by day.
However, there will always be some hiccups in life that surprise and bother us.
One night, my husband and I were watching TV in the living room when we suddenly heard the sound of a crash and crack coming from the kitchen.
"What's wrong?" I felt as my husband and I stood up at the same time, a sense of foreboding.
We hurried to the kitchen and saw my mother-in-law standing there with a pale face and a broken vase in her hand and broken glass scattered on the floor.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Did you fall and hurt yourself?" I hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern.
The mother-in-law shook her head, her voice trembling a little, "It's okay, it's just that I accidentally broke the vase." ”
I looked at my mother-in-law's tense expression, and I felt distressed. She is old, and she has been busy with housework, so her physical fitness is not as good as before, and she will be injured if she is not careful.
"Mom, why don't you ask us to help?" the husband stepped forward and comforted his mother-in-law while helping her mother sweep up the broken glass, "In the future, when you encounter this kind of thing, you must call us for help in time." ”
The mother-in-law shook her head lightly and smiled, "Child, I'm old, and I can still handle some small things by myself." ”
My heart is sour, my mother-in-law always puts her body last, and she can do anything for the sake of the family, this maternal love makes me feel extremely admired and moved.
"Mom, you see that we have just moved to this new house, and we are not familiar with the placement of things, so it is better to be careful in the future. I gently patted my mother-in-law on the shoulder and said distressedly.
The mother-in-law nodded, and a pair of old eyes revealed deep gratitude, "Thank you, I'll pay attention." ”
Our family worked together to clean up the mess in the kitchen, and although it was only a small episode, it made us more deeply appreciate the warmth of family and the preciousness of family affection.
As the days passed, our family's life gradually got back on track. In the new house, we have endless topics to talk about, endless things to do, and every day is full of laughter and warm happiness.
My mother-in-law is still the core and pillar of our lives, and her tolerance and understanding make us feel the warmth and stability of the family. I am determined to be filial to her so that she can live a happy and healthy life in her old age.
Every day in our new home is filled with laughter and warmth, and my gratitude to my mother-in-law is growing day by day.
However, just when we thought our lives were on track, a sudden accident shattered our peace.
It was a weekend afternoon and my husband and I were playing with our baby in the living room when all of a sudden, there was a rush of sirens outside.
"What's that sound?" I exchanged puzzled glances with my husband.
Just as we were wondering, we suddenly heard the exclamation of my mother-in-law in the kitchen.
"Come and see, the fire can't be extinguished!" the mother-in-law's voice was full of panic and anxiety.
My husband and I were shocked and immediately ran to the kitchen, only to see a thick puff of smoke coming from the gas stove in the kitchen, and the flames were rising sharply.
"Turn off the gas valve!" shouted the husband, grabbing a wet towel and rushing towards the fire.
I nervously followed behind him, picking up the kettle and preparing to extinguish the flames.
With our emergency treatment, the fire was finally brought under control, but the walls of the kitchen had been blackened and the smell of burnt was thick throughout the room.
"Mom, are you alright?" I anxiously worried about my mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law nodded tremblingly, with a frightened expression on her face, "I, I just wanted to cook something, but I accidentally lit the fire......"
My husband and I looked at each other, and a sense of fear welled up in our hearts. Fortunately, we discovered the fire in time and did not cause more serious consequences.
"Mom, if you encounter this situation in the future, you must be calm and call us for help as soon as possible. The husband comforted his mother-in-law and helped her to sit down on the sofa.
"Yes, Mom, we are all around and will definitely help you. I also quickly comforted.
My mother-in-law listened to our words, slowly calmed down, and showed a reassuring smile.
"Thank you, I'll take note. The mother-in-law's voice trembled slightly, obviously she was a little scared by the fright just now.
Our family walked out of the kitchen with each other in our arms, and a sense of heaviness welled up in our hearts as we looked at the smoky kitchen.
Although there were no casualties in this fire, it made us deeply aware of the importance of safety awareness. The safety of the family is the most basic guarantee in our lives, and we must always be vigilant to eliminate all possible safety hazards.
As time passed, our family gradually came out of the shadow of this fire, and life returned to its former peace and happiness.
However, just when we thought everything would be back on track, an even greater test befell us.
It was a fine weekend afternoon, and my husband and I were playing with our baby in the living room when we suddenly heard my mother-in-law screaming in the bedroom upstairs.
"What's wrong?!" my husband and I jumped up at the same time, a sense of foreboding welling up in our hearts.
We hurriedly rushed upstairs and saw my mother-in-law sitting on the edge of the bed, her old hands trembling, her eyes full of fear and unease.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? are you not feeling well?" I asked anxiously.
The mother-in-law raised her head, her eyes full of tears, "I, I don't know what's wrong, suddenly I feel tightness in my chest and shortness of breath, and I feel very uncomfortable." ”
My husband and I looked at each other, and an indescribable panic welled up in our hearts. The mother-in-law is old, and her physical fitness is not as good as that of young people, so this sudden physical discomfort cannot be careless.
"Hurry up and call Mom 120!" my husband said to me anxiously, calling the emergency number.
I also hurriedly picked up the phone and asked the medical staff to come and treat me.
After a while, the ambulance arrived at the door, and the paramedics quickly carried the mother-in-law onto a stretcher and rushed her to the hospital.
My husband and I anxiously followed behind the medical staff, our hearts filled with worries and prayers for my mother-in-law.
At the hospital, after a series of tests, the doctor finally came to a shocking conclusion - the mother-in-law had a serious heart attack and needed immediate surgery.
When my husband and I heard the news, we felt a great sense of fear and helplessness in our hearts. My mother-in-law is the most important person in our lives, and her sudden illness has left us with great shock and heartache.
"Doctor, how is my mother-in-law's condition, is the operation dangerous?" I asked anxiously.
The doctor frowned and said in a serious tone: "Mother-in-law's heart condition is already quite serious, and she needs surgery as soon as possible. There are certain risks associated with the surgery itself, but if the surgery is not performed, the mother-in-law's life will also be in danger. ”
My husband and I were nervous, my mother-in-law's condition was so serious, and it was undoubtedly a huge blow to us.
"Doctor, please do everything possible to save your mother-in-law. I prayed, tears streaming down my face.
The doctor looked at our anxious expression and nodded slightly, "Don't worry, we will do our best to treat my mother-in-law." ”
My husband and I waited for news from the operating room that my mother-in-law would be able to get through this crisis and get back to health.
