My name is Li Yufang and I am an ordinary retired teacher. My husband and I have a son named Xiao Ming, and a daughter-in-law named Xiao Xue. We used to be a harmonious and happy family, but everything has changed since Xiaoxue married into our family.
I still remember when Xiao Ming announced that he was going to get married, I was ecstatic. Xiaoxue is a beautiful and gentle girl, and I thought she would be a good daughter-in-law for our family. However, fate played a joke on me.
After Xiaoxue married into our family, we found out that she was a complete lazy worm. In addition to cleaning all day long, she watches TV dramas, and her cooking skills are also a mess. My husband and I tried to persuade her, but she was always perfunctory and impatient. I started to feel like I was raising a lazy woman and my son was ignoring her.
The atmosphere at home gradually became tense. Every day when I go home, I see a mess in the whole place, and I don't even want to change the water for washing dishes, and I am really angry. I couldn't help but wonder how Xiao Ming's vision could have found such a useless daughter-in-law to go home, but I also knew that as a son, he didn't want me to have any blame for his choice. But I really can't take it anymore.
In this situation, I started to become irritable and irritable. Every day when I come home and see Xiaoxue's lazy appearance, I can't help but get angry. The relationship between me and Xiaoxue became more and more strained, as if war was about to break out at any moment.
My husband advised me to be more tolerant, but I felt wronged in my heart. I feel that I have worked so hard to raise my son and have done so much for his future, but now I am being rewarded with such a reward. My heart was filled with endless resentment.
And Xiaoxue didn't seem to care about my dissatisfaction. She lives a leisurely life every day, as if everything in the house has nothing to do with her. She was obedient to my son, but she ignored me. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became.
Just when I thought I was about to explode, an unexpected piece of news took me by surprise. According to the neighbors, our house is going to be demolished, and each family will be compensated accordingly. I heard that Xiaoxue's family has a piece of land in the city center and received 1.6 million yuan in compensation for the demolition. And I couldn't help but feel like I had a share of the money.
"Xiao Ming, have you heard?" I said excitedly to my son.
"What did you hear?" Xiao Ming looked at me puzzled.
"It's the news of the demolition, I heard that Xiaoxue's family got 1.6 million in compensation, and we also have a share!" I said excitedly.
"This ...... That's good news. Xiao Ming's expression was a little hesitant.
"Yes, we also want one from them, you can go and discuss it with Xiaoxue. I said expectantly.
"This ...... I'll tell her. Xiao Ming replied with some embarrassment.
I looked at my son's expression with some hesitation, and I couldn't help but feel a little worried. I know this incident could lead to a bigger fight, but I've endured it for too long, and I need this compensation to compensate for all my hard work.
I discussed it with Xiao Ming, and he agreed to discuss the demolition compensation with Xiao Xue. I hope that this money will be a turning point for our family and bring us back to a state of happiness and harmony.
However, things turned out in a way that I didn't expect.
"Xiaoxue, do you know? Our house is going to be demolished, and every family will be compensated, and your family will also have a share. Xiao Ming said tentatively to Xiao Xue.
"Oh, really? That's good. Xiaoxue replied lightly.
"We also want to talk to you about getting a fair compensation. Xiao Ming looked at Xiao Xue expectantly.
"How much do you want?" Xiaoxue asked, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.
"We think 400,000 yuan is more reasonable, after all, we are also residents here, and we should also share a share of the demolition compensation. Xiao Ming patiently explained.
"400,000? That's not going to work. Our family's compensation is ours and has nothing to do with you. Xiaoxue flatly refused.
When I heard the news, I was immediately disappointed. I thought our family would be able to come back together, but the reality was so harsh. I felt my soul hurt so much that it was as if someone had torn it apart mercilessly.
"Xiao Ming, look, Xiao Xue, she ......," I said to my son helplessly.
"Mom, I'm helpless too. She's such a character, and I can't help it. Xiao Ming's tone was a little helpless.
I fell silent, my heart filled with endless bitterness. I felt as if I had been abandoned by the world, helpless and hopeless.
In the days that followed, Xiao Ming and I fell silent. The atmosphere in the house became more and more solemn, as if a storm was about to break out at any moment. I felt my heart being ruthlessly torn apart, and I could no longer face this family.
However, just when I almost gave up, something unexpected happened.
One day, I received a letter with Xiaoxue's name on the envelope. I opened it curiously, and it turned out to be a check, and the amount turned out to be 400,000!
"What's going on?" I asked, confused.
"Mom, I don't know. Maybe it's because Xiaoxue is soft-hearted. Xiao Ming was also a little surprised.
I froze there, and my heart swelled with endless gratitude. I never thought that Xiaoxue would offer to give us this money, which made my opinion of her change a little as well.
"Xiao Ming, let's go find Xiao Xue and thank her. I said excitedly.
"Okay, Mom. Xiao Ming also showed a relieved smile.
Xiao Ming and I happily walked into Xiao Xue's room and saw her sitting on the sofa watching a TV series. I suddenly felt that maybe I had been too harsh on her.
"Xiaoxue, this ......" I took out the check a little overwhelmed.
"This is for you, and I hope to make up for the misunderstanding. Xiaoxue's voice was a little low, but there was a hint of apology in her eyes.
I took the check, filled with gratitude. Perhaps, this is the beginning of a family reunion.
After receiving Xiaoxue's compensation, I felt happy and felt that the unity of my family added a glimmer of hope. Xiao Ming and I decided to thank Xiao Xue and start our lives again.
"Xiaoxue, thank you. I said to her sincerely.
"You're welcome, it's as it should be. Xiaoxue smiled slightly, revealing a hint of tenderness in her voice.
"Xiaoxue, we have to get along well in the future, and there can be no more misunderstandings. Xiao Ming also expressed his sincerity.
"Okay, I also hope that we can get along with each other. A hint of joy flashed in Xiaoxue's eyes.
I looked at this young daughter-in-law and my heart was full of emotion. Perhaps, everything before was just a misunderstanding, as long as we understand and tolerate each other more, our family can become happy and harmonious again.
In the days that followed, Xiao Ming and I worked hard to change ourselves, hoping to regain Xiao Xue's trust and respect. I started to cook something delicious for Xiaoxue and tried to meet her needs. And Xiao Ming has also become more concerned about Xiaoxue, often accompanying her out for walks or watching movies.
Slowly, the atmosphere in our family became more and more harmonious. I felt a great satisfaction in my soul and felt that it was all worth it.
However, just when I thought everything was getting better, an accident broke our peace again.
One day, I received a call from Xiaoxue, and there was a hint of anxiety in her voice.
"Mother-in-law, something happened to my family, can you come over and help?" Xiaoxue's voice trembled a little.
"What's the matter? I'll come over here. My heart tightened, and I hurriedly agreed.
Xiao Ming and I hurried to Xiao Xue's house, only to see Xiao Xue standing at the door with a pale face, her eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness.
"Xiaoxue, what's going on?" I asked.
"That's right......" Xiaoxue stammered what had happened.
It turned out that Xiaoxue's parents had been in a car accident and were being resuscitated in the hospital. And Xiaoxue couldn't rush back immediately due to work, so she could only wait anxiously for news here.
When I heard the news, I felt a pang of grief in my heart. I know that Xiaoxue is a filial child, and for her, the health of her parents is the most important thing. I decided to do my best to help Xiaoxue through this difficult time.
"Xiaoxue, don't worry, we will try our best to help you. I comforted.
"Thank you, mother-in-law, thank you. Xiaoxue looked at us gratefully with tears falling like rain.
Xiao Ming and I comforted Xiao Xue and tried our best to reassure her. I know that as long as our family is united, we will be able to get through this difficult time.
After the car accident of Xiaoxue's parents, Xiao Ming and I fully supported Xiaoxue through the difficult time. We took turns taking care of Xiaoxue, accompanying her to visit her parents in the hospital, helping her with household chores, and making her feel the warmth and support of her family during this difficult time.
After a few days of intense treatment, Xiaoxue's parents finally got better. I looked at the relief and joy in Xiaoxue's eyes, and my heart was full of emotion. Perhaps, it is at this difficult time that our family relationship has been truly sublimated, allowing us to more deeply appreciate the preciousness of family affection.
However, just when we thought everything was safe, a court summons put us in a new predicament.
"Mother-in-law, this is a summons from the court, and it is about the compensation for the demolition. Xiaoxue handed me a thick paper.
I took the summons and was shocked. Is there anything wrong with this compensation?
I opened the summons and saw that it said that there was a dispute between our family and Xiaoxue's family over compensation for demolition, and the court decided to hold a hearing to hear the matter. When I saw the news, I felt a flustered feeling in my heart, and I didn't know what to do.
"Mother-in-law, what should I do?" Xiaoxue asked anxiously.
"We ...... Let's not panic yet, we need to deal with it calmly. I feigned composure.
I know that this could cause a new storm, but we have to be calm. I discussed it with Xiao Ming and decided to find a lawyer to help us with this case.
After some inquiry, we finally found an experienced lawyer who promised to help us with the case. I felt a little calmer in my heart, at least someone I could rely on.
"Mother-in-law, the lawyer said that we need to prepare relevant evidence and materials in order to be able to fight for our rights and interests in our favor at the hearing. Xiao Ming said to me seriously.
"Okay, we've got to get this right. I said solemnly.
In the days that followed, Xiao Ming and I worked hard to prepare for this hearing. We went through the relevant materials and sorted out the relevant evidence, hoping to win our rights and interests at the hearing.
With the help of our lawyers, we were very well prepared and our confidence gradually increased. I believe that as long as we stay the course, we will be able to solve this problem and bring our family back to harmony and happiness.
The day of the hearing finally came, and Xiao Ming and I nervously walked into the courthouse hall. The atmosphere of the trial was tense and solemn, and I felt my heart beat faster.
The lawyer led us into the courtroom, and we sat in the plaintiff's seat, ready to face any challenge.
"The court is now in session and ready to start hearings. The judge's voice rang out, and the trial officially began.
"First, it is up to the plaintiff to present the case. "The judge motioned for us to speak.
The lawyer stood up and began to state our claims and relevant evidence. I saw his impassioned rhetoric and couldn't help but admire his professional abilities.
Then, it was the turn of the defence to speak. Xiaoxue's lawyer stood up and expressed their opinions and defenses. I saw Xiaoxue sitting in the defendant's dock, with a solemn expression, and seemed to be nervous about this trial.
The trial lasted for some time, and the two sides engaged in a heated debate on the distribution of the compensation for the demolition. Under the guidance of our lawyers, Xiao Ming and I answered questions from the judge and the lawyer in turn, and worked hard to protect our rights and interests.
At the end of the trial, the judge adjourned the trial and announced the verdict at a later date. I felt nervous and expectant, not knowing what the final outcome would be.
As we waited for the verdict to be announced, Xiao Ming and I nervously awaited news from the court. Every day is extremely anxious, not knowing what the final result will be.
Finally, a month later, we received a notice from the court that the verdict was in.
I opened the notice with a shudder, my eyes fixed on the handwriting. The verdict was unexpected, and the court made a fair judgment and distributed the demolition compensation to us and Koyuki's family in a reasonable proportion.
I felt a sense of relief that I had finally solved this problem that was bothering our family. Xiao Ming and I hugged each other tightly and were full of emotion.
"Mom, we won!" Xiao Ming said to me happily.
"yes, we finally won. I said with emotion.
I know that this trial is not only about the distribution of compensation for demolition, but also a tempering and testing of our family relationship. I believe that through this difficult and challenging time, our family will become stronger and more united towards a better future.
