My name is Liu Jingyun, I am 26 years old this year, and I am an ordinary office worker. My husband and I met at a friend's party and got married after two years of dating.
Just yesterday, my husband and I were about to go back to his parents' house for dinner, but my husband was delayed for a while, so I had to go by myself.
I was a little stunned and didn't know how to answer. At that time, I just wanted to give my husband a comfortable home, but I didn't expect it to make my mother-in-law angry.
My mother-in-law ignored my explanation and continued to complain.
When my mother-in-law scolded me, I felt very aggrieved in my heart, I felt that what I did was not wrong, and I have been working hard for my husband and his family.
This experience made me feel the complexity of family relationships even more, and I felt some knots in my heart.
After my mother-in-law angrily scolded me for cooking a table of meat dishes, the atmosphere became very awkward. I was in a bad mood, but in order not to make things worse, I tried to keep smiling and try to talk to my mother-in-law about family matters.
For the next few hours, the conversation at the dinner table seemed a little forced. I don't know how to deal with my mother-in-law, but I feel very wronged in my heart.
I was depressed and couldn't eat, so I could only pretend to be smiling and swallow every bite of food.
After the meal, I offered to wash the dishes and wanted to take the opportunity to communicate with my mother-in-law. Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law coldly refused, saying that she would clean it up herself.
Perhaps, we really can't communicate.
As time went on, the relationship with my mother-in-law seemed to become more and more strained. Every time we met, there was a stiff greeting and awkwardness, which made me start to feel intimidated.
Her words made me feel shocked and aggrieved. "Mom, this ......The husband tried to explain, but was interrupted by his mother-in-law: "There is nothing to explain, shouldn't the bloodline of your family be continued by you?"You see, other people's daughters-in-law have already given birth to two children for their family, what about you?"My mother-in-law's words made me feel very uncomfortable.
I know that in traditional values, it is important to inherit the family bloodline. But my husband and I are still young, and we are both still struggling with our careers and are not ready to have children.
This made me feel very passive and persecutive, and it also made the conflict between me and my mother-in-law more acute.
To soothe yesterday's unhappiness, I made up my mind to cook a home-cooked vegetarian dish today, thinking that I could make a table of light and delicious green vegetables for my in-laws to resolve yesterday's conflict.
How are these vegetarian foods again?Do you still want me to go hungry?The mother-in-law's words were full of dissatisfaction and complaints.
I froze in place, with mixed feelings. I have no intention of offending my mother-in-law, it is all out of care and love for my family.
My mother-in-law's attitude overwhelmed me, and I didn't know what to do to get her approval. I am just an ordinary girl who longs for family harmony and the understanding and love of my family.
Sorry, I can't complete your request.
