My name is Li Mei, I am 31 years old, I am 165 tall and weigh 108 pounds. I have a round baby face, **white, which always makes people think that I am younger than my actual age. He has a straightforward and lively personality, is very energetic at work, and is also a positive and optimistic person in life.
I work as a marketing manager in a foreign-funded company, and my job is going well, with a salary of 10,000 yuan per month. My husband Zhao Yu and I were college classmates, got married after graduation, and now we get along very well.
A few days ago, I suddenly received a ** from my mother-in-law, who said that she was not in good health and planned to move in with us for a while. I was startled and stammered, "Mother-in-law, are you not feeling well?"Why don't I take a leave of absence to take care of you for a few days?”
The mother-in-law said in a resolute tone: "I can move in with you myself without you coming." I've rented out the house, and I've arranged everything for the move, and I'll be here the day after tomorrow. ”
I hurriedly discussed with my husband, and I was very anxious. I said to Zhao Yu: "Brother Yu, you should think of a way, our house is so small, how can we live with one more person?"”
Zhao Yu frowned and said, "It's not convenient for my mother to be alone, she is not in good health, it's good to let her come and live for a while, just so we can take care of her." ”
I was very anxious, and immediately said: "There is always a time when we two young people need to be alone, and it is inconvenient to add an old man!."And you also know that your mother has a weird personality, and we used to quarrel over her before. ”
Zhao Yu said helplessly: "Relatives, you need to take care of each other." She has a health problem, and we should let her come and live there, so that we can take good care of her. ”
Zhao Yu frowned: "I'm so busy at work, how can I have time to do housework?"It's not easy for me to support my family, why do you still make such unreasonable demands?”
After I quarreled with Zhao Yu, I was sullen. He stopped talking to me with a straight face, and I moved to another room, thinking that I would talk again when he was angry.
Two days later, my mother-in-law arrived as scheduled. I saw her hunched back, slow movements, and very pale face, but my heart softened, after all, this is my husband's mother. As soon as my mother-in-law came, she talked about her illness, saying that her bones hurt badly and she couldn't sleep well. I responded perfunctorily, but I thought that when she moved in, the pain would be even more noisy.
I couldn't bear it anymore, pulled Zhao Yu to the bedroom, and said, "Look at your mother's attitude!."She used our house as a hotel!I'm tired of doing housework, and she knows that she doesn't pay for food and housing!”
Zhao Yu said helplessly: "My mother is old, and her temper is really bad. Let's tolerate her more. ”
I was angry: "What do you mean by inclusion?".She's obviously making things difficult for me and taking advantage of me!I disagree!Unless you share the housework, I won't serve her!”
Zhao Yu frowned: "I said that I am busy with work, how can I have the time and energy to do housework?"Are women tired from doing housework?It's not easy for me to support my family, you can't make such unreasonable demands!”
I was so angry that I went straight back to my room and started packing. Zhao Yu hurriedly came over to persuade me, but I still compromised. Although my mother-in-law saw us arguing, she was completely unrepentant and added fuel to the fire. I immediately decided to move directly to live with my girlfriend for a few days, so that Zhao Yu could reflect on himself.
I moved in to live with my best friend Xiao Yang for a week, and I didn't have much contact with Zhao Yu during this period. I was so angry that he didn't understand me at all and didn't respect my feelings. What annoys me even more is that the existence of my mother-in-law has made the distance between me and Zhao Yu more and more distant, and I am very skeptical that this marriage will last long.
I could hear the concession in his tone, and my heart softened. So I went home. Zhao Yu did send his mother-in-law to a nursing home as he said. There was obvious exhaustion on his face, and I guess he was tired from the work and dealing with it.
Zhao Yu and I closed the door and started talking slowly. He first apologized and said, "Meimei, I'm sorry, I haven't been able to understand your feelings during this time. I shouldn't have forced you to accept my mother, and I shouldn't have allowed her to be vexatious. I figured out that the two of us had just gotten married, and we really needed our own lives. I will leave more time for you, care for you, get to know you, and make you happy. Can you give me a chance to start over?”
Zhao Yu held my hand: "No, there is nothing wrong with you. As your husband, I must protect you first and make you happy and comfortable. This is my responsibility. I will do better in the future and be a man you can rely on. ”
I finally smiled and promised to give him a chance to start over. We embraced each other, and I felt like this marriage was finally seeing the light of hope.
