My name is Li Mei, and I am an ordinary housewife who lives an ordinary but happy life. My family lives in an inconspicuous neighborhood in the city, and every day is very comfortable. My husband and I are in love with each other and have a lovely son named Xiao Ming, who is the pearl of our palm. We had a great time as a family and everything seemed perfect.
Beneath the beautiful surface, however, lies a spark of contradiction. The conflict stemmed from the relationship between me and my husband's mother, that is, between my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law. My mother-in-law is a traditional old man who has always valued family traditions and family dignity. And my sister-in-law, who is my husband's sister, is a flamboyant, fun-loving and somewhat selfish girl. She went to college out of town and came home once in a while, always causing some minor trouble for our family.
This time, the fuse of the contradiction was a property. When my husband and I got married, my mother-in-law gave us a house as a dowry, which was her gift to her son and our love nest. Soon after I got married, my mother-in-law bought a house in the community and planned to leave it to my sister-in-law. However, this house has been vacant, because my sister-in-law is studying in other places, so she doesn't need this house at all. My mother-in-law wanted me to give my sister-in-law our vacant house as her dowry, but I didn't want to.
"Meimei, how can you do this?" My mother-in-law looked at me with disappointment and confusion in her tone. "This house originally belonged to your family, and now my sister-in-law is getting married, isn't it appropriate to give it to her?"
I was entangled in my heart, I understood what my mother-in-law meant, but I really didn't want to give our house to my sister-in-law, it was not fair. I shook my head gently: "Mother-in-law, this house is our love nest, the dowry you gave us at the beginning, I can't bear to give it to others." ”
"What do you think about that? Can't you think about your sister-in-law? The mother-in-law said angrily.
"But my sister-in-law doesn't need this house, she is studying in other places, so she doesn't need it at all." I tried to explain.
"What kind of logic are you? Can't you make some sacrifices for the dignity of your family? The mother-in-law's tone became more and more stern.
My quarrel with my mother-in-law became more and more intense, and I couldn't understand why she had to give this house to my sister-in-law, when we needed it ourselves. This dispute was only the beginning of the contradiction, but the struggle in my heart became more and more intense.
"Mom, why are you arguing again?" Xiao Ming ran out of the room, looking at us with a frown.
I patted him lightly on the head, "It's nothing, we just have some disagreements, but it will be resolved soon." ”
Xiao Ming looked at me and my mother-in-law, as if he was a little puzzled, but nodded anyway, and then returned to his room.
Looking at Xiao Ming's back, a sense of helplessness and exhaustion welled up in my heart. The quarrel has been going on for days, and every day is like living on a tense volcano that could erupt at any moment.
"Meimei, you're too stubborn." The mother-in-law sighed, and her tone revealed helplessness.
I shook my head: "Mother-in-law, I didn't mean to. I just felt that this house was ours and I couldn't bear to give it to someone else. ”
"People of your generation are just too selfish." The mother-in-law began to complain again, "When I was young, I could give up everything for the glory of the family. But you can't even make a little sacrifice. ”
I felt guilty in my heart, and I knew that what my mother-in-law said was not unreasonable. However, I really don't want to give up our love nest, I don't want our lives to be affected.
"Mother-in-law, I'll think about it." I whispered, "Maybe I'll change my mind." ”
My mother-in-law looked at me and didn't seem to believe me, but she didn't continue arguing. Our relationship seems to have become more and more strained, and the distance between us has become more and more distant.
This incident seems to have become a contradiction in our family that can never be resolved, and it has been lingering. I don't know what to do, I just hope that I can find a solution as soon as possible and bring calm back to me.
A few days have passed, and the atmosphere at home is still tense. The relationship between me and my mother-in-law became more and more stiff, and even the usual greetings became stiff and reluctant. I knew I couldn't go on like this, and I had to find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise the harmony in the family would be completely broken.
So, I decided to go to my husband to discuss it. I know that he is the only person in the family who can reconcile me with my mother-in-law.
"Honey, I think we should talk about it." I sat on the couch and whispered to my husband.
He looked at me with a hint of hesitation: "I don't know how to deal with this problem. ”
"I know, but we can't leave this issue unanswered." "I thought we should find a compromise that wouldn't hurt my mother-in-law's feelings and protect our own interests." ”
The husband was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Perhaps, we can consider renting out that house first, and then give it to her when my sister-in-law really needs it." ”
I listened, and my heart moved, and it seemed like a good idea. "That's a good idea, I can go to an agent and see if there's a suitable tenant." I said.
The husband nodded, as if he thought it was a good idea. "Then it's settled." "I'm going to talk to my mom," he said. ”
I breathed a sigh of relief and finally found a solution. I believe that as long as we can handle this matter properly, everything will slowly get better.
I decided to go about it right away and go to an agent to rent out the vacant house. So, I called several agencies and agreed to meet the next day.
The next day, I came to the agency ahead of schedule. He was greeted by a shrewd middle-aged man who seemed experienced and gave him a sense of affection and believability.
"Hello, I'm Li Mei, I have a house I want to rent out." I smiled at him.
"Hello, Li Mei, you've come to the right place." Mr. Agent replied with a smile, "Which neighborhood is your house in?" Are there any special requirements? ”
I gave him a detailed overview of the house and told him about our requirements and expectations. The agent listened, nodded, and said that he could help us find a suitable tenant.
After talking for a while, I agreed on some details with Mr. Agent and signed the contract. I was relieved that this annoyance had finally been resolved.
Back home, I excitedly told my husband and mother-in-law the good news. When they heard this, they all smiled with relief and seemed to be satisfied with the solution.
"Meimei, you are so capable." My husband smiled and complimented me, "You solved this problem so quickly." ”
I smiled and shook my head: "Actually, Mr. Intermediary helped me a lot, I just made some preparations in advance." ”
The mother-in-law also joined in the compliment: "Yes, Meimei is really a good daughter-in-law." ”
Hearing my mother-in-law's praise, my heart warmed and I felt that all the efforts were worth it. I know that while this issue is not completely resolved, at least we have taken the first step and everything will get better and better.
Some time passed, and life in our family seemed to return to its usual peace. The relationship between me and my mother-in-law has gradually eased a lot, and although there are still some minor frictions, overall we are trying to maintain family harmony.
The tenant moved into the house, a young couple who seemed very kind. Every time I see them basking in the sun in the yard or walking in the neighborhood, I feel an inexplicable sense of relief, as if everything is back on track.
"Meimei, you've worked hard during this time." My husband looked at me and said softly.
I smiled, "Nothing, just did what had to be done." ”
"Either way, I'm very grateful to you." My husband took my hand and said, "You have brought our family back to life. ”
I patted his hand gently: "It's all for the family, and I don't have anything to say." ”
"By the way, Mom is coming over today, let's prepare a good dinner together." The husband suggested.
I nodded, "Okay, I'll prepare." ”
After my mother-in-law came over, our family sat around the table and enjoyed a delicious dinner. My mother-in-law looked at me and my husband with emotion in her eyes: "Seeing you like this, I feel that I am really happy." ”
I smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, we are all a family, and happiness is what we all have. ”
The mother-in-law nodded: "Yes, yes." ”
After dinner, we chatted together in the living room. My mother-in-law took out some old photos from the past and talked about the past of our family. My husband and I listened with great relish, echoing my mother-in-law's words from time to time.
Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually darkened. Looking at my mother-in-law's smile, my heart was filled with gratitude and relief. Although the family has encountered some contradictions and difficulties, we have persevered and finally come through.
My mother-in-law stood up and patted me on the shoulder: "Meimei, you are a good daughter-in-law." ”
I smiled: "Mother-in-law, you are a good mother-in-law." ”
The smiles we put on each other's faces filled the whole family with warmth and happiness. I know that as long as we work together, we can get through it together, no matter what difficulties come our way. Because, we are family.
