My name is Li Yalin, and I am an ordinary housewife living in a small city. I am married to a gentle and kind husband, his name is Zhang Qiang. We have a lovely daughter named Xiaoyu, who is the pearl of our palm. My parents and in-laws are nearby, and our family lives a simple and happy life.
The conflict began in the third year of my marriage and entering the Zhang family. At that time, my sister-in-law Xiaoli had just married and was a young and lively girl. And I, as a bride, was supposed to do some of the housework at home, but I wasn't the kind of girl who was proficient in housework, so I often made a mess. Although Xiaoli is also a smart and clever girl, her temper is a little impatient, and she doesn't like to see the untidy appearance of the house.
The conflict between the two of us was not very obvious at first, with only occasional minor frictions, but as time went on, the conflict gradually escalated. For example, once, because I was busy with work, I couldn't take care of housework, and Xiaoli began to go crazy.
"Sister Arlinn, look at this kitchen, it's a mess!" Xiaoli said angrily.
I replied helplessly: "I'm too busy with work these days, I really don't have time to clean." ”
"You can't make your home look like this! Don't you know how to take care of your family? Xiaoli said aggressively.
"I know, but I really don't have time." I said with some grievances.
"Hmph, I think you're too lazy to move!" Xiaoli said reluctantly.
Such quarrels do not occur once or twice, but often. The relationship between me and Xiaoli has also become strained, and every time we meet, it is an open and secret fight. And my mother-in-law, Xiaoli's mother, the head of the Zhang family, seems to turn a blind eye to this and rarely intervenes in the disputes between us.
One day, my quarrel with Xiaoli reached its peak. That morning, I woke up feeling dizzy and dizzy because of a cold and fever, and I didn't have any energy. I had just been lying in bed for a while when Xiaoli knocked on the door and came in.
"Sister Arlinn, what's wrong with you? Why don't you get up to make breakfast yet? Xiaoli saw that I was still lying on the bed, so she asked with some dissatisfaction.
"I have a fever today and feel a little dizzy, maybe it's a cold." I said weakly.
"Hmph, you know how to make excuses!" Xiaoli looked at me in disbelief, "Can't you do more for the family?" For Mom's sake. ”
"I'm really not good, can you make me breakfast?" I looked at Xiaoli with some pleading.
"No! I'm going to work, so I'll figure it out for myself! Xiaoli said coldly and went out.
I lay helplessly in bed, very depressed. I didn't mean to skip the housework, but the argument was already exhausting. And my mother-in-law's attitude also made me feel very disappointed, as an elder, she did not mediate the conflict between us, but chose to remain silent.
Just when I was feeling helpless, my mother-in-law came in. She saw me curled up on the bed, and there was a look of concern on her face.
"Arlinn, what's wrong with you? Why not get some rest? The mother-in-law asked with concern.
"Mother-in-law, I have a cold and fever today, and I am very dizzy." I said with tears in my eyes.
After hearing this, my mother-in-law's face changed, and she hurriedly walked to the side of the bed and touched my forehead, and then said with concern: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Lie down and rest, and I'll cook you some ginger soup. ”
When I heard my mother-in-law's words, I was so moved that I almost cried. I never thought my mother-in-law would care so much about me, and I was very surprised.
When my mother-in-law saw that I didn't speak, she turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare ginger soup. I lay in bed with a sigh of emotion. Perhaps, I have always misunderstood my mother-in-law before, she is not as cold and ruthless as I imagined, but a kind-hearted person. And Xiaoli, maybe it's just because I don't know her well enough
I blamed Xiaoli for mistake and appreciated my mother-in-law's concern, but I knew that this would not solve the problem between me and Xiaoli. After all, our contradictions have been there for a long time and cannot be resolved in a moment.
That night, I lay quietly in bed, thinking about what had happened today. I have mixed feelings, both feeling the kindness of my mother-in-law and distressed by the contradiction with Xiaoli. I knew I had to do something to improve our relationship, or else life like this would be miserable for all of us.
The next morning, I woke up early, prepared breakfast, and took the initiative to clean the kitchen. I thought maybe if I could take the initiative to take on some of the housework, Xiaoli would change my opinion of me. Also, I don't want my mother-in-law to bother with the quarrel between us anymore.
When my mother-in-law saw me taking the initiative to clean the kitchen, she praised me again and again: "Arlinn, you are such a sensible girl, and you will be more harmonious when you do more housework in the future." ”
I smiled and nodded, feeling a pang of relief in my heart. I know this is just the beginning, but I'm willing to work hard for the sake of family harmony.
However, I didn't expect Xiaoli to be so indifferent to my changes. She didn't seem to welcome my help, but instead thought I was being contrived. Every time I tried to communicate with her, she avoided her, as if I were air.
Our relationship has not changed for the better because of my change, but has become more rigid. I was very disappointed, I thought I could take the initiative to change to alleviate the conflict between us, but the reality made me feel very helpless.
One night, Xiaoli and I had another argument over a trivial matter. What was supposed to be a little friction turned into a war of words.
"Sister Arlinn, can't you just pay attention? It's infuriating to be so procrastinating every time you do something! Xiaoli pointed at me and scolded loudly.
I was also angry: "Are you finished?" Do you think I don't want to do housework? I didn't mean to. ”
"Hmph, I don't believe you!" Xiaoli pursed her lips disdainfully.
I was so angry that I couldn't say anything but to stare at her. I feel more and more that the contradictions between us have reached the point of no return, and I don't know what else can be done to change the situation.
Just then, the mother-in-law walked in. When she saw the two of us arguing, she frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "What are you two arguing about?" It's so loud that it makes my head hurt. ”
Xiaoli and I didn't dare to speak, so we could only lower our heads and dare not raise them. I know that my mother-in-law has had enough of the conflict between us, and I really don't want her to worry about us anymore.
The mother-in-law looked at us silently, sighed, and then said, "You two are really, noisy all day long, I really can't stand it." When I was sick, Xiaoyu stayed by my side every day, what about you? It's all here to quarrel. ”
I listened to my mother-in-law's words, and I felt guilty in my heart. She was right, the conflict between us had affected the atmosphere of the whole family, and I was never aware of it.
"I'm sorry, mother-in-law." I whispered, "I'll try to avoid arguing with Xiaoli in the future." ”
Xiaoli also lowered her head, not daring to speak. I know that the conflict between us will not be resolved overnight, but I am willing to work hard to bring warmth and harmony back into our family.
Although Xiaoli and I both apologized, our relationship did not become harmonious because of this. Everyday life was still full of tension and contradictions, and I began to feel very depressed.
One day, I was busy making dinner in the kitchen when my mother-in-law suddenly walked in. She frowned when she saw my burnt look.
"Arlinn, what's wrong with you? Why do you look in a bad mood? The mother-in-law asked with concern.
I shook my head, smiled wryly and said, "It's nothing, mother-in-law." I just feel that the atmosphere at home is getting worse and worse, and I can't do anything about it. ”
After hearing this, my mother-in-law sighed, then took my hand and sat down and said, "Actually, I have been worried about the relationship between the two of you. I know that there are many conflicts between you, but as the elder of the family, I have not fulfilled my responsibilities. ”
I looked at my mother-in-law in some surprise and didn't understand why she suddenly said that.
The mother-in-law continued: "I remember that many years ago, your uncle and I had a lot of arguments. At the time, I always felt that I was right and your uncle was wrong. But later, I realized that family harmony requires everyone to work together. ”
I listened to my mother-in-law's words and was moved in my heart. I never thought that my mother-in-law had the same experience as me, she was a person who had gone through ups and downs and knew how to manage family harmony.
"Mother-in-law, I really don't know what to do." I said helplessly.
My mother-in-law smiled, patted my hand, and said, "Don't worry, Arlinn. I'll help you out. However, before that, the two of you must also be mentally prepared and willing to tolerate each other in order to get out of the shadow of contradictions. ”
I listened to my mother-in-law's words and felt a warm current in my heart. Perhaps, the contradiction between me and Xiaoli is not unsolvable, as long as we are willing to tolerate each other, we will definitely be able to find a solution.
The next day, my mother-in-law asked me to sit down with Xiaoli and talk. Xiaoli and I were a little worried, not knowing what my mother-in-law would say.
My mother-in-law looked at the two of us and said with a smile: "You two are the pearls of my palm, and I don't want to see the conflict between you continue." So, I would like to ask you to give me a promise. ”
Xiaoli and I were stunned, not knowing what promises my mother-in-law would ask us to make.
The mother-in-law continued: "I hope that the two of you can tolerate each other, respect each other, and stop arguing. If something upsets you, sit down and talk about it and find a solution. ”
Xiaoli and I looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time nodded in agreement. Although there have been many conflicts between us before, we are all willing to work hard for family harmony at this moment.
When my mother-in-law saw our statement, she smiled with satisfaction. She knows that this is just the beginning, but at least we have taken the first step towards solving the problem.
From that day on, the relationship between me and Xiaoli gradually improved. We no longer quarrel as often as we used to, but we have learned to tolerate and respect each other. Although there will be some minor frictions occasionally, we can all resolve them with reason and calmness, and no longer let the conflict escalate.
I am also even more grateful to my mother-in-law for her care and support. She always stood behind us, silently supporting us, and made us feel the warmth and strength of the family.
With the help of my mother-in-law, the conflict between me and Xiaoli was finally resolved. We are no longer opposites to each other, but good sisters who support each other and understand each other. The harmonious atmosphere of the family also makes each of us feel happy and satisfied.
After the mediation of my mother-in-law, the relationship between me and Xiaoli gradually improved. We no longer quarrel as often as we used to, but we learn to get along better. Although there will be some minor frictions from time to time, we can all deal with them with reason and calmness, and no longer let the conflict escalate.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, months have passed. I found that my relationship with Xiaoli became more and more intimate. We are no longer just sisters, but more like good friends, chatting, shopping, and sharing each other's feelings together.
One day, Xiaoli and I were cooking dinner at home when suddenly my mother-in-law called. I picked up the phone and heard my mother-in-law's anxious voice, "Arlinn, I'm not feeling well, could you please help me get to the hospital?" ”
I immediately put down the kitchen knife in my hand and said to Xiaoli, "My mother-in-law is sick, I want to go to the hospital to see her." ”
After Xiaoli heard this, she immediately said, "I'll go too, let's go see my mother-in-law together." ”
The two of us quickly packed our things and hurried to the hospital. On the way, Xiaoli and I kept chatting about my mother-in-law's illness and comforting each other.
When we arrived at the hospital, we met my mother-in-law, who was being treated. She had a relieved smile on her face when she saw us walk in.
"Arlinn, Lily, you're here." The mother-in-law smiled and said, "I'm fine, just a little dizzy." ”
Xiaoli and I walked to the bedside and asked with concern, "Mother-in-law, are you too tired?" Do you want me to find a doctor for you? ”
The mother-in-law shook her head and said with a smile, "No need, I've already seen a doctor." The doctor said I just had a little high blood pressure and that I should pay attention to rest and diet. ”
Xiaoli and I breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and at the same time said that we would take good care of my mother-in-law.
During the few days in the hospital, Xiaoli and I took turns taking care of my mother-in-law. We prepared nutritious meals for her, chatted with her, and made her feel cared for and loved.
Gradually, my mother-in-law's body also recovered. She said with emotion: "I am so happy to have the two of you by my side. ”
Xiaoli and I listened to it and felt very relieved. We understand that the warmth of the family is not only a superficial harmony, but also a strength to support each other and face each other together in difficult times.
After my mother-in-law was discharged from the hospital, we cherished our relationship with each other even more. We no longer waste time on meaningless quarrels, but cherish the time we spend together more and create beautiful memories together.
Gradually, the relationship between Xiaoli and I became more and more harmonious, and our trust and understanding between each other became deeper and deeper. I feel very fortunate to have such a warm and harmonious family.
I know that in the days to come, we will always support each other and face life's challenges together. Because of this family affection, we can be stronger to face everything in the future.
As the days passed, my relationship with Xiaoli became better and better. We no longer quarrel as often as we used to, but we learn to get along better. Every day is full of laughter and warmth, and the family atmosphere has become more harmonious.
One day, Xiaoli and I were drinking tea and chatting in the living room. Suddenly, Xiaoli took out a photo album and said to me with a smile: "Sister, let's take a look at the photos from the past." ”
I nodded, and opened the photo album with Xiaoli. It records the bits and pieces of our growth, from the naughty mischief when we were children to the maturity and stability now, and every photo is full of memories.
"Look, this is a picture of us playing in the park as a kid." Xiaoli pointed to a photo and said with a smile.
I smiled and nodded, reminiscing about that happy time. At that time, the two of us always played together and enjoyed the joy of childhood carefree.
"Do you remember that time we went on a trip together?" I picked up another photo and asked.
Xiaoli nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I remember, it was the best time we spent together." ”
We kept looking at the photos in the album, reminiscing about the past and sharing each other's feelings. At this heartwarming moment, I felt the warmth and happiness of my family.
Just as we were immersed in the memories, the mother-in-law walked in and said with a smile, "What are you two looking at?" ”
Xiaoli and I hurriedly closed the photo album and said with a smile, "Mother-in-law, we are looking at the photos from the past." ”
The mother-in-law smiled, walked over to us and sat down, and said, "Memories from childhood are always the best, and you two should cherish each other's feelings. ”
Xiaoli and I nodded and said with emotion, "Mother-in-law, we will definitely do it." ”
From that day on, I cherished my relationship with Xiaoli even more. We are no longer just sisters, but more like confidants and friends, and our trust and understanding between each other has become deeper.
I know that the warmth of family is not only a superficial harmony, but also a strength to support each other and face each other together in difficult times. I will always cherish this family affection, manage our relationship with my heart, and make our family always full of warmth and happiness.
