My mother-in-law, Liu Lianzi, is 88 years old this year, an old cadre, and can receive a pension of tens of thousands of yuan per month. She has bullied me since I married into the Liu family. Although the Liu family is not a wealthy family, but it is also a well-off family, I was originally a girl from the countryside, married to Liu Ming, the only son of the Liu family, and my mother-in-law Liu Lianzi just looked down on me, the right daughter-in-law.
Li Mei, are you up, hurry up and make me breakfast!If you can't afford it, you won't have anything to eat!"Early in the morning, my mother-in-law, Liu Lianzi, was yelling outside the door and woke me up.
When my mother-in-law came, I got up and cooked. I hurriedly answered and hurriedly got up and freshened up.
Mother-in-law Liu Lianzi is 88 years old, but her physical strength is still very good, she gets up early every day and asks me to serve her to eat, drink and Lazar, endlessly. Although I am the daughter-in-law of this family, I have no right to speak in front of her, so I can only obey her orders.
I quickly cleaned myself up and went to the kitchen to start preparing breakfast. Liu Lianzi sat at the dining table with an impatient expression, "Where did you die, Lao Tzu, I am going to starve to death!."”
Mother-in-law, I'll cook just now, and I'll be ready right away. "I hurriedly lit a fire to make porridge, and secretly slandered in my heart, you have only been up for less than half an hour, can you starve to death?But I didn't dare to say it, so I could only endure it.
After making porridge and side dishes, I brought them to the table, and my mother-in-law Liu Lianzi ate them in a big gulp. I stood by and watched silently, thinking that I would be able to eat it when she finished eating.
What about Liu Ming?Why are you only getting up now!The mother-in-law asked loudly as she ate.
Liu Ming: He worked late last night, so he may still be sleeping. I replied cautiously.
Overtime?My old bones got up so early, and he was a young man who was still sleeping lazy!The mother-in-law put down the dishes and chopsticks and stood up angrily, "Go, tell him to get up!"”
I had to go to Liu Ming's room to wake him up. Liu Ming got up in a daze to wash, and when he came out, he was counted down by his mother-in-law, saying that he didn't work hard and slept a lot. I looked distressed, but I didn't dare to say anything.
When my mother-in-law finished eating, she refused to let me eat, and began to ask me to work.
I hurriedly came down and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks and wash the clothes. My mother-in-law is like an emperor at home, pointing fingers, I am busy from morning to night, tired half to death, but she is never tired.
Lying in bed at night, I recalled in my mind all kinds of arrogance that my mother-in-law Liu Lianzi had on me during the day, and my heart was full of grievances and unwillingness. It has been three years since I married into the Liu family, and I have been serving my mother-in-law with patience, but she has never given me a good look.
Mother-in-law, I'm a little tight on cash, bananas and pork may not be able to buy too much. I said carefully.
What can't afford it?Liu Lianzi immediately exploded, "My pension is tens of thousands of dollars a month!."There's nothing missing, just one of your daughters-in-law is there and I'm slamming the door!”
I could only nod silently and take the money to go out to buy groceries. Liu Lianzi receives so much pension every month, but never gives us any living expenses, Liu Ming and I have handed over our monthly salaries to her, and the family's money is all controlled by her.
When I got home after shopping, I started to prepare the braised pork for lunch. My mother-in-law sat in the living room watching TV, and called out to me from time to time: "Li Mei, turn up the sound of the TV, I can't hear clearly!."”
I had to stop what I was doing for a while and help her turn up the TV. My mother-in-law watched the TV series with relish, and I was busy in the kitchen, and she didn't even have a word of thanks.
At lunchtime, Liu Ming returned home. Looking at the braised pork on the table, he said happily: "Wow, braised pork, I haven't eaten it for a long time, did my mother-in-law let you make it on purpose?"”
Liu Lianzi snorted and said, "I haven't eaten for a long time, I don't eat well every day, and you don't know how to be grateful!."”
I looked at Liu Ming, my heart was bitter, he ** knew that this braised pork was made from pork that I spent a month of food money to buy. But for the sake of this little family harmony, I didn't say anything, just ate in silence.
After lunch, Liu Ming said that he was going to work overtime in the afternoon, so I sent him to the door and whispered, "Be careful on the road." ”
Liu Ming nodded, turned around and left. I stood at the door and watched his back, full of reluctance, he was my only spiritual pillar in this home.
Li Mei, put away the dishes and chopsticks and do the laundry!Liu Lianzi's shout in the house sounded again. I sighed, turned around and went back to my home to get to work for the afternoon.
Day after day, I spent my mother-in-law's calls and drinks. Lying in bed at night, I looked out the window at the bright moon. I used to be a girl with dreams, but as soon as I married into this family, my dreams were shattered, and I became a puppet in the hands of my mother-in-law, with no dignity and no hope.
In this way, I spent more than two years in Liu's house, and my mother-in-law Liu Lianzi's arrogance was growing day by day, and my patience was almost at the limit.
One day, Liu Lianzi suddenly asked me to cook spicy fish for her, and I knew it was one of her favorite dishes.
Mother-in-law, the fish at home is gone after today's three meals, so I'll go buy some fish and come back to make spicy fish. I tried to say as politely as I could.
Buying fish?Why is your daughter-in-law so uneasy, Lao Tzu, an old lady still has to buy fish by herself?Liu Lianzi immediately became furious.
I also want to explain that Liu Lianzi has already grabbed the conversation: "Lao Tzu is going to eat spicy fish!."If you don't have any fish, you go to the river to catch them, do you hear?”
Mother-in-law, the fish in the river are not fresh, I'll buy them. I whispered.
Buy, buy, buy, you'll say buy!Lao Tzu gave you so much living expenses a month, but you lost all of them, didn't you?”
When I heard this, I finally couldn't help it, and plucked up the courage to say: "Mother-in-law, the living expenses you give us a month only add up to 1,000 yuan, and your pension is more than ten times that of ours, where is all this money spent?"”
You unfilial girl, are you questioning me?Liu Lianzi's eyes widened, and she slapped me and hit me hard in the face.
My face instantly ached, and tears couldn't help but burst out of my eyes. Three years of grievances came to my heart at once, and I finally couldn't help but shout loudly: "Liu Lianzi, you have bullied me for three years, and I will never listen to you again!."”
With that, I turned around and ran back to my room, threw all my luggage into the suitcase, and was about to leave with the suitcase.
Where are you going?You give me back!Liu Lianzi shouted in the back.
I walked without looking back, and when I came to the door, Liu Lianzi grabbed my hand, "You unfilial daughter, I am your mother-in-law, can you leave me an old man alone?"”
Mother-in-law, I have done my filial piety to you, but you have been bullying me like this, I am really fed up!I shook off Liu Lianzi's hand and rushed out of the door.
I flagged down a taxi and went to my sister's house. When I entered the door, I poured all the grievances of these years to my sister.
Sister, I understand your feelings, but you and Liu Ming have only been married for a few years, and you can't run away from home like this, you should communicate well. "My sister persuaded me.
Sister, I really can't bear it anymore, I want a divorce!I said firmly.
You calm down, divorce is not good for you and Liu Ming. Give your mother-in-law another chance, and give Liu Ming a chance, okay?My sister softly persuaded me.
After listening to my sister's persuasion, I was also a little shaken in my heart. What my sister said makes sense, I shouldn't run away from home so excited, I should give Liu Ming and my mother-in-law another chance.
Sister, I know you're doing it for my good. Maybe I shouldn't be so extreme, I think I'd better go back and talk to my mother-in-law. "I compromised with my sister.
Sister, you're doing the right thing. Don't quarrel with your mother-in-law when you go back, communicate with her with good words and let her understand your difficulties. "My sister hugged me.
I took a taxi back to Liu's house, and my heart was beating hard when I pushed the door open. Mother-in-law Liu Lianzi sat on the sofa, her eyes were red, and she seemed to have just cried.
Mother-in-law, I'm sorry, I was so excited just now. "I took the initiative to apologize to my mother-in-law.
Li Mei, it's my mother-in-law who is not good, she is old and confused, she shouldn't have beaten you and scolded you. My mother-in-law bowed to me as well.
When I saw my mother-in-law like this, most of the resentment in my heart disappeared. Maybe we really need to communicate with each other.
Mother-in-law, I know that you have paid a lot for this family and brought up Liu Ming. But I'm also part of this family, I hope you don't always scold me, and give me a little respect, okay?"I plucked up the courage to make a request to my mother-in-law.
Good boy, it's the mother-in-law who is wrong. When your mother-in-law is old and has a bad temper, you should be more tolerant and tolerant of your mother-in-law, and don't be like your mother-in-law. The mother-in-law nodded.
Then we will be reconciled, and I will respect you more in the future. "I took the initiative to shake hands with my mother-in-law and make peace.
Good boy, mother-in-law owes you. The mother-in-law had tears in her eyes.
The great stone of my heart also fell to the ground. Maybe give my mother-in-law a chance and our relationship can slowly improve.
When Liu Ming went home in the evening, he was also relieved to see the scene of harmony at home: "Mom, Meimei, the most important thing is for our family to live in harmony." ”
Liu Ming, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have run away from home. "I apologize to Liu Ming.
Meimei, I understand you, as long as we can communicate well, there is no problem that cannot be solved. Liu Ming shook my hand.
I nodded, thinking that maybe I could slowly learn to tolerate my mother-in-law and establish a normal mother-in-law relationship with her. Liu Ming has always been very supportive of me, and I can't live up to his hard work.
From that day on, I began to try to get along with my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law's temper is indeed better, and she is not as vexatious as before, and I have learned to tolerate some of her little problems.
