Zhang Xiaoli is an ordinary office white-collar worker, 28 years old this year. She and her husband Zhang Hao have been married for 5 years, and the two get along well. As only children, they will inevitably be interfered with by their parents, especially Zhang Xiaoli's mother-in-law.
As a typical "mother-in-law", Granny Zhang always likes to meddle in her daughter-in-law's life and often comes to "inspect" their home. Every time her mother-in-law came, Zhang Xiaoli would feel very depressed, for fear that she would find fault with what she was not doing well. Zhang Xiaoli knew that her mother-in-law had good intentions and wanted to help them, but sometimes her approach was too much.
For example, once, as soon as Zhang Xiaoli and Zhang Hao came home for dinner, her mother-in-law began to count Zhang Xiaoli's cooking skills, saying that the dishes were too salty and the dumplings were too loosely wrapped. Zhang Xiaoli felt very angry at the time, but it was not good to have a fight with her mother-in-law in person, so she could only scold her in her heart, and secretly decided not to let her come to her house again.
However, Zhang Xiaoli did not take this matter to heart. She knows the character of her mother-in-law, although it can be annoying at times, but after all, she is her own relative. So, Zhang Xiaoli continued to maintain a good attitude and patiently accepted her mother-in-law's "advice".
One night, Zhang Xiaoli and Zhang Hao were preparing to go to bed when they suddenly heard footsteps outside the door. Zhang Xiaoli's heart tightened, could it be a thief? She quietly walked to the door, but saw that it was her mother-in-law.
"Mom, why are you here so late? Zhang Xiaoli asked with some confusion.
"I'm just here to see you two and make sure you sleep well. The mother-in-law said with a concerned face.
Zhang Xiaoli was a little helpless, she knew that her mother-in-law was well-intentioned, but this kind of behavior of coming to "inspect" in the middle of the night was indeed a little strange. However, she still patiently chatted with her mother-in-law for a while.
Just as the two were chatting, Zhang Hao also woke up. Seeing his mother-in-law coming back at this point, he was a little puzzled: "Mom, why are you still here so late?
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just here to see if you two are sleeping well. The mother-in-law still had a concerned expression on her face.
Zhang Hao and Zhang Xiaoli glanced at each other, feeling a little helpless. They know that their mother-in-law is such a person, who always likes to ask about their lives and cares about their every move.
"Mom, we're adults and we don't need you to come to see us every day. Let's just take care of ourselves, and you can rest well. Zhang Hao patiently persuaded.
"I know, I know. But as a mother, I can't always worry about you. The mother-in-law said with some stubbornness.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoli felt that her eyelids were a little heavy, and she yawned: "Mom, it's so late, we all want to sleep." If you're all right, go back early. "
"Well, then I won't bother you. But if there's anything you have to tell me, I'm always there. The mother-in-law reluctantly left.
Zhang Xiaoli and Zhang Hao looked at each other and smiled, both breathing a sigh of relief. They knew that although the mother-in-law was a little annoying, it was well-intentioned after all. As long as they can communicate patiently with their mother-in-law, I believe that they can always find a way to get along harmoniously.
At that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open. Zhang Xiaoli was startled, and couldn't help shouting nervously: "Who?"
"It's me, Mom. A familiar voice rang out.
Zhang Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be her mother-in-law. I saw my mother-in-law carrying a few vegetable baskets in her hand, and said excitedly: "Xiaoli, I wanted to cook you a delicious meal when I got up in the morning, so I went to the vegetable market to buy some fresh vegetables." Go wash your hands and we'll cook together. "
Zhang Xiaoli smiled a little helplessly, she knew that her mother-in-law had come to "help" again. However, looking at her mother-in-law's excited appearance, she couldn't bear to refuse. So, the two of them got busy in the kitchen together.
Zhang Xiaoli and her mother-in-law worked in the kitchen for more than half an hour, and finally made breakfast. Zhang Xiaoli looked at the sumptuous breakfast on the table and couldn't help but sigh: "Mom, you are really amazing, these dishes are so delicious." "
The mother-in-law nodded with satisfaction: "Of course, I have been cooking since I was a child." You will have to learn from me in the future to become a competent housewife. "
Zhang Xiaoli smiled and didn't say anything. She knew that her mother-in-law was well-intentioned and wanted to teach herself how to cook. Although sometimes her mother-in-law's approach is indeed a bit annoying, Zhang Xiaoli can still understand it.
Just when the two were having breakfast together, Zhang Hao also got up. Seeing the sumptuous breakfast on the table, he was a little surprised: "Wow, there are so many dishes! Mom, when did you come?"
"I came in the morning and made you a good meal. Hurry, hurry up and eat, don't get cold. The mother-in-law said enthusiastically.
Zhang Hao expressed his satisfaction with the tacit understanding between his wife and his mother-in-law, and he knew that although his mother-in-law was a little overdisciplined, it was out of kindness after all. So, the three of them had breakfast together.
After eating, her mother-in-law took the initiative to help Zhang Xiaoli clean up the kitchen. Zhang Xiaoli looked at her mother-in-law's busy figure, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Mom, you are really hard, I should help you share some more housework." "
"Why, it's nothing. You young people have to work hard, and I'll take care of the family. The mother-in-law said with a smile.
Zhang Xiaoli nodded, her heart warm. Although her mother-in-law sometimes bothers her, she feels happy at the moment. It's great to have such a mother-in-law who cares about herself.
At this moment, Zhang Hao walked out of the bedroom and said with a serious face: "Mom, let me tell you something." "
Both her mother-in-law and Zhang Xiaoli were a little puzzled and didn't know what was going on.
"What's the matter?" Mother-in-law asked.
"We're going to move. Zhang Hao said directly.
"Why? Isn't it nice here?" The mother-in-law was a little puzzled.
"We felt that now we should have our own living space. We have been married for so many years and have been dependent on your care, and we are already a little uncomfortable with independent living. So we wanted to change to a new environment and plan for the future. Zhang Hao patiently explained.
Hearing this, the mother-in-law's face suddenly became a little ugly. She said angrily, "You want to be independent? I think you think I'm annoying, don't you? You just don't want me to take care of it!"
Zhang Xiaoli hurriedly reassured: "Mom, it's not like this. We just want to give ourselves some space to be on your own, and you need to rest too. We know how much you have always taken care of us. "
"But you are my children, how can I leave you alone?" A tear gleamed in the mother-in-law's eyes.
Zhang Hao sighed, held his mother-in-law's hand and said, "Mom, we know that you have good intentions. However, we have already started a family and need to have our own way of life. You should also take good care of yourself and don't always worry about us. "
The mother-in-law was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay, since you have decided, then I have nothing more to say." But you're going to have to come back to see me often. "
Zhang Xiaoli nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, Mom." We will definitely come to see you often. "
The mother-in-law smiled a little. The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere eased.
At this moment, Zhang Hao's mobile phone rang. He picked up the phone, and after listening, there was a hint of joy on his face: "Great, our new house is finally ready to move in!"
Zhang Xiaoli and her mother-in-law were a little surprised, and they came over to ask about the specific situation. It turned out that Zhang Hao had already found a new house and was decorating it. Now that the renovation is finally complete, you can move in.
"And when are we going to move in?" Zhang Xiaoli asked.
"Tomorrow will do. I've made an appointment with the moving company. Zhang Hao said.
Hearing this, the mother-in-law's face became a little ugly again. She said anxiously, "I'm going to move tomorrow, so soon? So what should I do?"
Zhang Hao soothed: "Mom, don't worry. Our new house is not far from here and you can come and see us at any time. Also, you can come and cook for us often in the future, and we will need you to take care of it. "
The mother-in-law nodded reluctantly: "Okay, since you have decided, then I have nothing to say." However, you will have to take good care of yourself in the future. "
Zhang Xiaoli and Zhang Hao looked at each other and smiled, feeling very relieved in their hearts. They knew that although the mother-in-law had overdisciplined her, she was well-intentioned after all. As long as they can communicate well, I believe they will be able to find a way to get along harmoniously.
When she was about to leave, her mother-in-law took Zhang Xiaoli's hand, her eyes were a little moist: "Xiaoli, you have to take good care of yourself in the future, don't always worry me." Tell me anything, I'll be there at any time. "
Zhang Xiaoli nodded and gently hugged her mother-in-law: "Don't worry, Mom." We'll be fine. We will be glad that you will come to see us more often in the future. "
The mother-in-law nodded, her eyes glinting with relief.
In this way, Zhang Xiaoli and Zhang Hao successfully moved into their new home. Although the mother-in-law was a little reluctant at first, with the patient communication between the two, she finally accepted this fact.
After moving into their new home, both Zhang Xiaoli and Zhang Hao were very excited. The house is very nicely renovated and is also in a great location, close to their company.
"It's nice to finally have my own living space!" Zhang Xiaoli said happily.
Zhang Hao also smiled and nodded: "Yes, in the future, we can live freely and freely, and we don't have to be disciplined by my mother-in-law anymore." "
The two of them began to be busy decorating their new home, hanging pictures and arranging furniture. During this period, my mother-in-law also came to help. But this time, she didn't keep nagging like before, but helped out very cooperatively.
"Mom, how about you put this vase here?" Zhang Xiaoli asked.
"It's good, it's very conspicuous here. The mother-in-law nodded.
Zhang Hao also held a painting and asked, "Where should this painting be hung?"
"It's better to hang it on that wall. "Mother-in-law gives advice.
Both Zhang Xiaoli and Zhang Hao felt relieved that their mother-in-law had finally learned to respect their choice. They also took the initiative to ask their mother-in-law for their opinions, hoping to get along better.
Finally, the new home was furnished. The family of three sat on the sofa, all smiling with satisfaction.
"Mom, look, how is our new home going?" Zhang Xiaoli asked.
"Very nice and nice, much nicer than the previous house. You two really have a vision. The mother-in-law exclaimed.
Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Of course, we have put a lot of thought into it." If you want to come and see us more often in the future, we will treat you well. "
"Of course! I'll be coming to see you at any time. The mother-in-law's eyes gleamed with relief.
At this moment, Zhang Hao's mobile phone rang. He picked up the phone, and after listening, a happy expression appeared on his face: "Great, my application for a salary increase has finally been approved!"
Zhang Xiaoli and her mother-in-law were happy for him and gave blessings one after another.
"Now it's time to decorate our new home!" Zhang Xiaoli said happily.
"Yes, we can live a more comfortable life in the future. Zhang Hao is also full of expectations.
When my mother-in-law heard this, she couldn't help but interject: "Then I can often come to help you cook in the future!"
Zhang Xiaoli and Zhang Hao looked at each other and smiled, knowing that her mother-in-law had begun to find ways to meddle in their lives again. However, this time they did not feel bothered, but felt very warm.
"Yes, Mom. We will be glad that you will come back often in the future. Zhang Xiaoli said.
The mother-in-law nodded with satisfaction, her eyes shining with relief.
In this way, the family of three started a new life. Although the mother-in-law still likes to ask them about their affairs, Zhang Xiaoli and Zhang Hao have learned to communicate with her patiently. Gradually, the relationship between them also became more harmonious.
One day, Zhang Xiaoli came home from work and saw her mother-in-law busy in the kitchen.
"Mom, why are you here so early?" Zhang Xiaoli was a little surprised.
"I was resting today, so I wanted to cook you something delicious. The mother-in-law said with a smile.
Zhang Xiaoli walked over to help, and the two of them were busy together. During this period, Zhang Hao also came back.
"Wow, what's the best dish today?" Zhang Hao smelled the fragrance, and his eyes lit up.
"Guess what. The mother-in-law said mysteriously.
Zhang Hao sniffed it carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Is it my favorite braised pork?"
"You guessed it! You know your mother. The mother-in-law said with a smile.
Zhang Xiaoli watched the cheerful interaction between the two people, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Mom, you are really good." We are so lucky to have a mother-in-law like you. "
The mother-in-law smiled a little shyly: "You two are too polite." I just want to take good care of my kids. "
Zhang Hao patted his mother-in-law on the shoulder: "Mom, we really appreciate your care all the time. We will definitely be more filial to you in the future. "
With tears in her eyes, she nodded gently.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Zhang Xiaoli went to open the door and found that it was a stranger.
"Hello, may I ask if anyone in your family is named Zhang Xiaoli?" The man asked.
"It's me, I'm Zhang Xiaoli. What's the matter?" Zhang Xiaoli was a little puzzled.
"I'm a police officer, and we got a call that something happened to your house. Could you please come with us back to the police station?" The policeman said.
Zhang Xiaoli and Zhang Hao were stunned, not knowing what was going on. The mother-in-law also nervously asked, "What's wrong?"
"I don't know much about the situation, so please come back to the police station with us to find out. The police said.
Zhang Xiaoli and Zhang Hao looked at each other, their hearts full of doubts. They quickly followed the police and left.
Zhang Xiaoli and Zhang Hao followed the police to the police station. Both of them were preoccupied along the way, not knowing what was going on.
"What's going on, what's going on in our house?" Zhang Xiaoli asked worriedly.
"I don't know much about this, we just received a call, so I'm here to ask you to go to the bureau to verify the situation. The police said.
Finally, they arrived at an office. A middle-aged police officer was working and immediately got up to greet them when he saw them come in.
"You're Zhang Xiaoli and Zhang Hao, right? I'm Director Li. We received a call that something had happened in your house, so we brought you in to find out. Director Li said.
"Director Li, what the hell is going on? There is nothing wrong with our family. Zhang Hao was a little puzzled.
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoli and Zhang Hao were stunned. They had no idea that this would happen.
"How is this possible? We have a good relationship with my mother-in-law, how can this happen?" Zhang Xiaoli said in surprise.
"We don't know the specifics, so we're asking you to find out. Can you tell us what's going on?" Director Li asked.
Zhang Hao and Zhang Xiaoli glanced at each other, not knowing how to explain. They knew there must have been some misunderstanding.
"Director Li, there must be some misunderstanding. We have always had a good relationship with my mother-in-law, she has never broken into our house. Zhang Hao explained.
"Do you know who called the police? Director Li asked again.
"We don't know who called the police, and there were no arguments or conflicts in our family. Zhang Xiaoli said.
"Then we might as well ask you to go back and find out what happened. If there is anything you need help with, feel free to come to us. Director Li said.
The two left the police station, their hearts full of doubts. Along the way, they were speculating about what was going on.
"You say, could it be that someone did something to our family?" Zhang Xiaoli said worriedly.
"I don't know, but let's go back and see my mother-in-law and see if she's hurt. Zhang Hao said.
The two hurried back home, only to find their mother-in-law sitting on the sofa with a blank look.
"Mom, are you alright? Zhang Xiaoli hurriedly asked.
"I didn't know, I was just sleeping when I was knocked on the door and kicked out. The mother-in-law said a little dazed.
"What? Kicked out? Are you hurt?" Zhang Hao asked worriedly.
"No, I was just pushed out and didn't get hurt. The mother-in-law said.
"Do you know who knocked on the door?" Zhang Xiaoli asked.
"I don't know, but I heard someone outside saying that I broke into your house. But I'm sleeping here, so how could I break in?" The mother-in-law said with some grievances.
"Mom, don't worry, we'll find out what happened. You take a break here first, and we'll go to the police station to find out about the situation. Zhang Hao comforted.
The mother-in-law nodded, looking a little dazed.
Zhang Xiaoli and Zhang Hao hurriedly returned to the police station. This time, they told Director Li about her mother-in-law's situation.
"It's so weird, it sounds like someone is misleading us. Director Li was also puzzled.
"yes, we don't know what's going on. Can you help us look it up?" Zhang Hao pleaded.
Zhang Xiaoli and Zhang Hao nodded and left the police station. Along the way, both men are guessing exactly what happened.
"You say, could it be that someone is targeting our family?" Zhang Xiaoli said with some concern.
"I don't know, but we'll have to find out what's going on. Zhang Hao comforted.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoli's mobile phone rang. She picked up the phone and heard Director Li's voice: "Come back, I have new news to tell you." "
Zhang Xiaoli and Zhang Hao glanced at each other, and quickly turned back to the police station.
