Zhang Hao is a young and promising white-collar worker who works for a foreign company. Last year, he met a girl, Wang Xue, and the two fell in love and decided to get married. Wang Xue is a beautiful and lively girl, but she also has some minor problems, such as being lazy sometimes and loving to spend money.
Zhang Hao's mother, Li Mei, is a traditional housewife who naturally cares 100% about her son and daughter-in-law. On the eve of the wedding, Li Mei was secretly worried that Wang Xue's living habits would affect her son's career development.
"Haohao, look at Wang Xue, isn't it a little too loose?" Li Mei said to her son with some worry, "She has nothing to do all day, and she loves to buy things so much, you have to take care of her." "
"Mom, don't worry about it. Zhang Hao smiled and comforted his mother, "Xuexue just needs time to adapt to married life, she will correct it in the future." "
Soon after marriage, Li Mei really found that Wang Xue's life style was a headache. She often slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, and the house was a mess; And he loves shopping, often splendor on expensive clothes and cosmetics.
"Xue Xue, you can't always be so lazy. One day, Li Mei couldn't stand it anymore, and said helplessly, "And what can you do if you spend money like this?
"Mother-in-law, don't worry about it. Wang Xue said nonchalantly, "Our family makes a lot of money, what does it matter if I spend some money?"
Zhang Hao also excused his wife: "Mom, Xuexue is just a little willful, don't be too harsh." She just needs time to get used to. "
Seeing that her son was completely fascinated by his wife, Li Mei sighed, only to feel that there was nowhere to tell her bitterness. She began to wonder if she had done something wrong that would cause her son to spoil his wife so much that he would not listen to her advice at all.
In this way, Wang Xue became more and more unscrupulous at home. Sometimes she swaggers around in sexy pajamas at home, which makes Li Mei very embarrassed. Once, Wang Xue actually held a small one at home and made a mess of the house.
"Xuexue, what kind of behavior are you?" Li Mei said angrily, "Are you so disrespectful to our family?"
"Mother-in-law, don't be old-fashioned. Wang Xueman was not happy, "Young people, you should have a little more fun, right?"
Zhang Hao hurriedly persuaded his mother: "Mom, Xuexue, she is just happy, don't take it to heart." She'll change it later. "
Li Mei could only shake her head, feeling powerless. She began to wonder if she was really too old-fashioned to understand the lifestyle of modern young people. However, she really couldn't get used to her daughter-in-law's inappropriate behavior.
The conflict gradually escalated in the family, and the relationship between Li Mei and Wang Xue became more and more stiff. Zhang Hao doted on his wife as always, and he couldn't listen to his mother's advice at all. Li Mei felt very helpless and depressed, and she didn't know how long this would last.
It was at this time that an unexpected turning point appeared. One day, Wang Xue suddenly took the initiative to take care of the housework and actively looked for job opportunities. Li Mei couldn't believe her eyes when she saw all this.
"Xue Xue, what's wrong with you?" Li Mei asked, with a hint of suspicion in her tone.
"Mother-in-law, I figured it out. Wang Xue said solemnly, "I know that I was too willful in the past and caused you too much trouble." From today onwards, I will definitely correct my shortcomings and be a virtuous daughter-in-law. "
Li Mei was moved by Wang Xue's sincere attitude, and nodded again and again: "Good boy, mother-in-law knows that you will eventually wake up." "
Since then, Wang Xue seems to have changed as a person. She wakes up early every day to clean and do housework. Sometimes when Li Mei comes home, she can still smell the aroma of food, and Wang Xue even learned to cook.
"Xuexue, you have a good education. Once, Li Mei happily said to her son, "If I had taught you this before, you wouldn't have been so naughty." "
Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Mom, people have to go through a process of growth. Xue Xue is now aware of her shortcomings and working hard to correct them, which is very gratifying. "
Not only that, Wang Xue also actively looked for job opportunities, and finally got a job as a clerk in a company. After work, Wang Xue has become more independent and confident, and has learned to manage money, and is no longer so extravagant.
Seeing this change in her daughter-in-law, Li Mei was sincerely happy. She began to realize whether she had been too strict with Wang Xue before. Everyone has their own way of life, and the key is to respect and tolerate each other.
Even Zhang Hao has grown a lot in the process. He began to learn to find a balance between work and family, to be more sympathetic to his wife's hard work, and to take the initiative to share the housework. Once, when Wang Xue came back from overtime, it was very late, and Zhang Hao actually cooked a delicious dinner for his wife.
"Haohao, you kid can be regarded as an adult. Seeing this, Li Mei couldn't help but shed tears of emotion.
The relationship between the family seems to be more harmonious than in the past. They are considerate and supportive of each other, and together they create a warm and harmonious family atmosphere. Li Mei was sincerely happy for her son and daughter-in-law, and she felt that her exhortation had finally paid off.
However, just when everyone thought that everything would be smooth sailing, an accident happened, and the conflict escalated again.
One day, Li Mei accidentally discovered that Wang Xue had secretly spent a large amount of money to buy brand-name bags and jewelry. She was shocked by Wang Xue's behavior and began to wonder if she had really reformed herself.
"Xuexue, why did you start spending money again?" Li Mei asked, "I thought you had gotten rid of this problem!"
"Mother-in-law, don't be angry. Wang Xue said a little crampedly, "It's just a little hobby of mine, and it won't affect the family's expenses." "
"What's a hobby, you've already spent all your money at home!" Li Mei said angrily, "With your appearance, I don't think you are worthy of my son!"
Zhang Hao hurriedly persuaded him: "Mom, don't talk about Xue Xue like that. She's just confused for a while, and she'll definitely correct it in the future. "
"How many times has she been confused?" Li Mei trembled with anger, "I don't think she has the consciousness to correct it at all, you still indulge her too much!"
And just like that, a saber-rattling quarrel unfolded between the family. Everyone was angry and puzzled, you and I said a word, and the scene was very out of control for a while.
In the hospital, Zhang Hao was lying on the hospital bed, his face was pale, and he didn't look very good. The doctor said that he may have been overdrawn due to long-term overwork and needed to recuperate for a while.
Looking at her son's weak appearance, Li Mei felt guilty and burst into tears. She realized that her actions could harm her son's health, which could lead to greater conflict and misfortune for the entire family.
"Haohao, it's all my mother who can't stand you. Li Mei choked up and said, "If it weren't for Mom and I always forcing Xue Xue to change, you wouldn't be tired like this." "
In this way, I spent one difficult day and night after another in the hospital. Li Mei and Wang Xue are like two close sisters, taking care of each other and comforting each other. They all seem to realize their mistakes and begin to reflect on what they have done.
One night, when the nurse on duty came in to change Zhang Hao's dressing, Li Mei suddenly spoke: "Sister nurse, do you think your daughter-in-law should completely obey her mother-in-law's words?"
"That's a long story. The nurse sister smiled, "Everyone is an independent individual with their own pursuits and values. As elders, we should certainly give young people some guidance, but we should not completely deprive them of their autonomy. Mutual respect and tolerance are the best policies. "
Li Mei nodded silently, as if she was seriously thinking about something.
"Xue Xue, you can say it. Li Mei said sincerely.
"I knew I had a lot to be short about. Wang Xue lowered her head, "But I've been trying to correct it, but sometimes it's just impulsive." I didn't mean to hurt this family, I really loved Haohao. "
"I see, Xue Xue. Li Mei nodded, and her tone became much softer, "It's my mother-in-law that I am old, and I always use my own standards to demand you, and ignore your needs and pursuits as an independent individual." I should respect your way of life and not just ask you to change. "
Since then, Li Mei has completely changed her attitude towards Wang Xue. She began to truly respect her daughter-in-law's way of life and no longer rigidly asked her to do this and that. On the contrary, she will take the initiative to care about Wang Xue's work and life, and give thoughtful advice and support.
Wang Xue has also become more mature and stable in the process. She began to pay more attention to her family, worked hard to correct her shortcomings, and at the same time learned to assert herself and pursue her ideals and values. Her work has also gradually improved, and she has been appreciated and reused by her superiors.
Even Zhang Hao had a new awakening in this experience. He realized that married life requires mutual respect and tolerance, rather than being spoiled or harsh. He began to cherish his wife more and learned to balance work and family to live a more fulfilling life.
In this way, the family is like a rainbow after a heavy rain, and it becomes more united and harmonious. They are considerate and appreciative of each other, and together they create a loving and inclusive family atmosphere.
One day, Li Mei happily said to her son: "Haohao, you can be regarded as growing up and have your own home." Mom is so proud of you. "
"It's all thanks to your teachings, Mom. Zhang Hao smiled and said, "If it weren't for your patient guidance, I wouldn't have realized the true meaning of married life." "
"No, I'm too complacent. Li Mei shook her head, "It was Xue Xue's tolerance and tenacity that made me realize my mistake. Everyone has their own weaknesses and strengths, and the key is to appreciate and tolerate each other. Only in this way can our family be truly harmonious and happy. "
Li Mei has a point. Indeed, marriage is like a bumpy road that requires both parties to work together to get it on. As elders, we should embrace young people with an open and inclusive mind, rather than resting on our laurels and demanding change. Everyone is an individual with their own unique way of life, and we should respect and appreciate each other, and maintain family harmony with love and understanding.
Only in this way can our family be truly happy.
