My name is Xiaoyu and I am an ordinary housewife who lives with my husband Xiao Ming in a small city. We have a lovely son, Xiaobao, who just celebrated his first birthday this year. Xiao Ming and I have known and fallen in love for eight years, and we have been married for five years, and our married life has been dull and happy. I have always considered myself lucky because I have a caring husband and a lovely son.
However, a happy life is not always as it should be. The seeds of a contradiction were quietly planted in our home. The source of this conflict was a dispute between me and Xiao Ming's family.
One day, I received a call from Xiao Ming, and his voice sounded a little anxious: "Xiaoyu, my mother came over today, and she seems to be a little unhappy." ”
"What's wrong? Is something wrong? "I was a little worried, because I knew that Xiao Ming's mother was sometimes a bit stubborn and easily had friction with people.
"She said it was the problem of you pressing Xiaobao's New Year's money." Xiao Ming said with some embarrassment.
I was shocked, how could there be such a problem? My relationship with Xiaobao has always been very good, and every year during the Chinese New Year, I will give him New Year's money, which is my responsibility as a mother and an expression of my love for him.
"She's in the living room now, you should come back quickly." Xiao Ming's voice was a little helpless.
I hurriedly packed up my family and rushed home.
When I walked into the living room, Xiao Ming's mother sat on the sofa and looked at me with a displeased expression. She is a very traditional old man, and she has always felt that she should take care of the children's affairs. I walked over and respectfully asked, "Mom, you're here, is there anything wrong?" ”
"Xiaoyu, I heard that you gave Xiaobao New Year's money, but you didn't give me the money." Xiao Ming's mother said in a stern tone.
I was a little stunned, I didn't expect this little thing to cause her dissatisfaction. "Mom, this ...... I did give Xiaobao New Year's money, but I gave it to him myself, and I feel that as his mother, I have this responsibility. I explained cautiously.
"What are you talking about? Don't you know that the child's New Year's money should be managed by the elders? You are disrespecting me by doing this! The more Xiao Ming's mother talked, the more angry she became.
I felt very aggrieved, I just wanted to give my son a little heart, but I didn't expect it to cause such a dispute. "Mom, I didn't mean to disrespect you, I just felt ......" I wanted to explain, but she didn't give me a chance anymore.
"What do you think? You think you're more important than me, don't you? You think you're more qualified than I am, don't you? Xiao Ming's mother changed her words and began to attack my self-esteem.
I couldn't stand her attitude like that, but I knew that arguing with her would only make things worse. "Mom, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I just felt ......" I tried to calm my emotions, but she kept interrupting me.
"What do you think? You think you are my daughter-in-law, you can do whatever you want, right? You think you can leave the child in my hands, do you? Xiao Ming's mother's voice grew louder and louder, as if she wanted to shatter the whole house.
I felt very aggrieved and helpless, I just wanted to give my son a happy childhood, but I didn't expect to cause such a quarrel. I looked up at her and tried to say something, but I couldn't get a word out of my mouth.
Xiao Ming's mother seemed to be getting more and more angry, and her face became more and more ugly. I didn't know what to do to calm her down, and I felt very anxious and helpless.
Just then, Xiao Ming came out of the kitchen and saw the impasse between us. He hurried over to me and tried to lighten the mood: "Mom, don't be angry, it's just a little thing. ”
Xiao Ming's mother didn't listen to his persuasion, and still said angrily: "Xiao Ming, how can you speak for her like this? She didn't take me seriously at all. ”
Xiao was obviously a little embarrassed, he looked at me, and then at his mother, not knowing what to do. I know he's embarrassed, after all, he's the middleman between us, and he hopes that there won't be too much conflict between us.
"Mom, I know what you mean, but Xiaoyu also has her own ideas." Xiao Ming tried to persuade him.
"What thoughts? What qualifications does she have to decide the affairs of the child? She is just an ordinary daughter-in-law, not an elder. Xiao Ming's mother said unrelentingly.
I felt very aggrieved and hurt, I have been trying my best to be a good wife and mother, but I did not expect to be criticized like this. "Mom, I know I'm young and inexperienced, but I also want to do as well as I can." I struggled to control my emotions and tried to solve the problem with reason.
Xiao Ming's mother listened to me, but she was still unmoved, she thought I was just making excuses. "I don't accept your excuse, you have to give me the child's New Year's money, this is as it should be." She said in a resolute tone.
I felt so helpless that I didn't know what to do to satisfy her. "Mom, I know what you mean, I'll think about it." I tried to find a way to compromise, but she didn't seem to intend to listen to me.
"Think about it? What do you have to consider? This is a matter of principle! The more Xiao Ming's mother spoke, the more excited she became, and she seemed to have completely lost her mind.
I looked at her with helplessness and anger in my heart. I don't understand why she is so stubborn, it's a very small thing, why does it have to be like this? I felt very aggrieved and frustrated, and I didn't know what to do.
I looked at Xiao Ming's mother, and her attitude made me feel very helpless and hurt. I knew that going on like this would only make things worse, so I decided to take a step back for now. "Okay, Mom, I'll give you the child's New Year's money." I tried to say it in the gentlest tone possible.
Xiao Ming's mother listened to me and finally stopped complaining. "That's good, I knew you'd understand." She nodded in satisfaction.
I watched her back as she left the living room, and my heart was full of helplessness and grievances. I felt as if I had lost, obviously for the good of my child, in order for him to have a happy childhood, but I didn't expect it to cause such an argument. I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong, but I just want to try my best to be a good mother and make my child's life better.
Xiao Ming walked over and patted me lightly on the shoulder: "Don't be sad, she just worries too much." ”
I forced a smile and tried to look stronger. "I know, I just feel a little wronged."
Xiao Ming took my hand and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
I felt a touch of warmth welling up in my heart, and I knew that I was not alone, that I had a loving husband and a lovely son. I believe that as long as we work together, all difficulties will be solved.
I hugged Xiaobao, felt his warm body, and my heart was full of hope for the future. I know it's just a small twist in our lives, and that as long as we keep going, everything will get better.
I decided to let go of the unhappiness in my heart and enjoy the happy time in front of me. I believe that as long as we love each other, we will be able to overcome any difficulties.
So, I sat on the sofa with Xiaobao and Xiaoming in my arms, enjoying the warmth of the family. I know that no matter what difficulties lie ahead, we will face them together because we are a family and we will always be together.
I closed my eyes, felt the warmth of my family, and filled my heart with a beautiful vision for the future. I believe that if we work together, everything will be better.
Life has returned to its former peace, and the atmosphere at home has become lighter and more pleasant. My relationship with Xiao Ming has become deeper, and the tacit understanding between us has become more tacit. Xiaobao also thrives in our company, and every day is full of innocent laughter.
However, I always had some uneasiness in my heart. Although Xiao Ming's mother didn't mention the incident again on the surface, I know that she may still be a little dissatisfied in her heart. I knew I had to do something to ease her grievances or the family could get into a fight again.
So, I decided to take the initiative to go to Xiao Ming's mother and explain my thoughts. I know that only through communication can we resolve conflicts and bring harmony back to the family.
One weekend, I found an opportunity to go to Xiao Ming's parents' house. Xiao Ming's mother looked a little surprised when she saw me coming, but she politely let me in.
We were sitting in the living room and I was trying to find a suitable opportunity to speak. "Mom, I came to you because I wanted to tell you something." I tried to keep my tone calm and not to appear too nervous.
Xiao Ming's mother glanced at me with a somewhat complicated expression: "What's the matter with you?" ”
I paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "I know that you were not very satisfied with the fact that I gave Xiaobao the New Year's money, and I came to you to explain my thoughts to you." ”
Xiao Ming's mother frowned, obviously a little unhappy with me mentioning it. "What else do you have to explain? Do you think you're doing the right thing? She said in a stern tone.
I felt a little embarrassed, but I knew I had to stand my ground. "Mom, I don't think I'm doing the right thing, I just want to explain my thoughts to you. I give Xiaobao New Year's money, not because I disrespect you, but because I want to express my love and blessings for him. ”
Xiao Ming's mother was silent for a moment, as if thinking about my words. "Do you think that's enough?"
I shook my head: "Of course it's not enough, I know that I should respect the opinions of my elders, so I decided to give you the child's New Year's money." ”
Xiao Ming's mother listened to my words, and the expression on her face gradually softened. "You're a sensible child." She sighed softly, "Maybe I'm a little too stubborn. ”
I was relieved to see her attitude soften. "Mom, I hope there are not too many contradictions between us, I am willing to respect your opinion, and I hope you can understand my thoughts."
Xiao Ming's mother nodded: "Okay, I'll try to understand your thoughts." ”
I feel very relieved to know that there has finally been a thaw in our relationship. I know this is just the beginning, but I believe that as long as we respect each other, families will be more harmonious.
As time went on, the relationship between me and Xiao Ming's mother gradually became harmonious. She has become more and more concerned about me, and often gives me some family advice and help. I feel very grateful and cherish our relationship even more.
On Xiaobao's first birthday, we held a small celebration. Xiao Ming and I carefully prepared everything and invited some family and friends to share the joy. Xiaobao is wearing cute clothes and running around the living room with a bright smile, and the whole room is full of innocent joy.
Xiao Ming's mother also came to attend Xiaobao's birthday party. She watched Xiaobao play happily in the room, and a kind smile appeared on her face. I feel very relieved to know that our relationship has grown closer.
"Xiaobao is such a cute child." Xiao Ming's mother said with a smile, "Seeing him so happy, I feel very happy in my heart." ”
I smiled and nodded, "yes, he's our little pistachio." ”
Xiao Ming's mother looked at me with a smile, her eyes full of love: "Xiaoyu, I know that the previous incident caused you some trouble, and I may be a little too tough." ”
I was a little surprised, I didn't expect her to take the initiative to mention it to me. "Mom, that's all in the past, and there's nothing between us that we can't get over." I tried to make the atmosphere a little more relaxed.
Xiao Ming's mother sighed: "I know I didn't do well, but I hope you can forgive me." ”
I smiled and shook my head: "Mom, you don't have to say that, we are all a family, what's the point of not getting by?" ”
Xiao Ming's mother listened to my words and had a relieved smile on her face. "Thank you, Xiaoyu, you are such a sensible and good boy."
I feel very happy to know that our relationship has become even stronger. I believe that as long as we respect each other, families will be more harmonious and happy.
