Introduction: Marriage is a ritual that integrates two families and two hearts, however, the contradictions and run-ins in family relationships sometimes become a strong seasoning in this feast. Jiaqi and Jingbo's marriage has not been easy, as they experience family expectations, financial disagreements, and disputes at the wedding. In this process, the concepts and values of the two families are intertwined, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and husband and wife has been tested. Next, we'll delve into the strife in this family, the balance of power, respect, and compromise in marriage.
Jiaqi and Jing Bo have been in love for three years, Jing Bo is a successful man with a successful career, and Jiaqi is just an ordinary company clerk. Recently, they were about to get married, so Jiaqi took Jingbo home to meet her parents for the first time.
The first time they met, Jiaqi's parents were very satisfied with Jingbo, and during the meal, their family talked and laughed, but when Jingbo left, Jiaqi's parents sat down in the living room and exchanged views face-to-face.
Jiaqi's mother spoke first: "I feel that Jingbo is quite good when we meet this time, he is also very polite, and he seems to have a successful career." ”
Jiaqi's father nodded: "Well, his career and family background are indeed good. Still, do you think he's a little cold to Kiki?”
Mother frowned slightly: "It's kind of like that." Although he is very good on the surface, he always feels that the relationship between him and Kiki is a little weak. ”
Jiaqi interjected: "Mom, Dad, it may be that Jingbo is usually more introverted, and he has always been very good to me." ”
The father took a deep breath: "Kiki, we are just for your own good, and we don't want you to be hurt in the future. After all, marriage is a lifelong affair and cannot be hasty. ”
The mother looked at Jiaqi with concern: "We are worried about whether you will suffer in the relationship." If you think he's really good to you, we'll support you. ”
Jiaqi nodded: "Thank you, Dad, Mom." I understand your concerns, but I think Jing Bo is really nice to me, it's just that he is not very good at expressing his feelings. We have a deep affection for each other. I usually work overtime at night to help Jingbo deal with work affairs, and his current success is inseparable from me."
The father suddenly felt a little relieved: "Since you said so, we won't say more." I just hope you can be happy. ”
The mother smiled and added, "yes, we just want to think about you. I hope that the relationship between the two of you will be deeper and happier in the future. ”
Jiaqi felt the care of her parents, and her heart was warm. She knows that her parents are just for her good, and the relationship between her and Jing Bo, she is convinced that it will stand the test.
However, in the process of discussing the marriage, Jingbo's parents asked not to give Jiaqi a bride price, saying that their son was already very good, and the family currently lacked sufficient funds. This makes Jiaqi unhappy, and she insists that the bride price is a basic respect for the family, while pointing out that Jingbo's success is also inseparable from the help she usually helps him. She demanded that Jing Bo must pay a bride price of 100,000 yuan.
Jingbo's parents were puzzled and troubled by this request, thinking that it was a large amount. In the back and forth between the two sides, Jingbo's parents finally agreed to pay the bride price, but the amount was only 30,000 yuan. Jiaqi felt helpless, because in her opinion, this amount obviously did not meet her expectations, but in the face of the overall situation of the marriage, she accepted it in a compromise.
Although Jingbo's parents ostensibly agreed to pay the bride price, Jingbo's mother was dissatisfied. She said to her husband: "Our son is so good, why do we have to give so many bride prices?"I don't think Jiaqi's family is very good. ”
Jingbo's father comforted: "Now that the social atmosphere has changed, we are indeed not rich, and we have done our best to give this bride price." What's more, Jing Bo has always loved Jiaqi very much, and this number can be regarded as our respect for her. ”
Although Jingbo's mother did not say it explicitly, her dissatisfaction gradually became apparent in the family. She has reservations about Jiaqi's attitude, and the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law begins to become delicate. This bride price dispute left a potential contradiction and became a hurdle in the relationship between the two families.
In the preparations before the wedding, Jingbo's mother showed obvious dissatisfaction. In the process of choosing a wedding dress, she seemed to deliberately embarrass Jiaqi. When Jiaqi tried on the wedding dress, Jingbo's mother began to be picky about her hairstyle, makeup, and the wedding dress she chose. From time to time, she made some harsh suggestions and made dissatisfaction with the details of the wedding, which made Jiaqi feel extremely embarrassed and uncomfortable.
Jing Bo's mother said critically: "This hairstyle is not generous enough, it looks a little messy." The makeup is too thick, so it's better to be lighter. Besides, this wedding dress, why did you choose such a dress, there is no temperament at all. She pointed to Jiaqi's hair and makeup, revealing her dissatisfaction with the entire wedding.
Jiaqi tried to stay calm, but under her mother's pickiness, she couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly threw the wedding dress in front of Jingbo's mother, and she asked rhetorically, "Do you want to try it?"It's my biggest day, and it's not you. She emphasized that she was the protagonist of this wedding and did not need to accept Jingbo's mother's pickiness.
Jingbo's mother was stunned for a moment, and then her brows tightened, but in the face of Jiaqi's resolute attitude, she could only be speechless. Jing Bo persuaded on the side: "Mom, this is our wedding, and it is also an important moment for Jiaqi, I hope you can respect her choice." ”
In the end, under Jingbo's persuasion, Jingbo's mother stopped talking, and they successfully finished picking out the wedding dress.
That night, Jiaqi received a WeChat message from Jingbo's mother, revealing an unkind atmosphere between the lines. The message said: "Bear with her for a few more days, and when you get married, you will have her good-looking." This made Jiaqi's doubts heavier, and she became more alert to Jingbo's mother.
Jing Bo noticed his wife's uneasiness, and hurriedly explained: "Jiaqi, that message was sent by my mother when she was angry, she spoke more directly, not at you." Don't worry too much, she's just angry. There was a hint of helplessness in Jing Bo's tone, and he understood that his mother would sometimes speak fiercely.
Immediately, Jiaqi knew that this was Jingbo's mother accidentally making a mistake, although she knew that Jingbo was defending her mother, but she decided to do it. She expressed her understanding to Jing Bo: "I know, don't worry, we will definitely get married, there will inevitably be conflicts in family relationships, and I didn't mean to make things difficult for your mother." We are family after all. She deliberately made Jing Bo feel like she wasn't angry because of that message.
Then, on the day of the wedding, Jiaqi walked firmly in front of the host in front of relatives and friends, took out her mobile phone, and clearly read out Jingbo's mother's WeChat: "Bear with her for a few more days, and when you get married, she will be good-looking." The scene fell silent all of a sudden, and relatives and friends all looked at Jing Bo and Jiaqi.
Jiaqi raised the microphone and said to Jingbo with a smile: "Honey, this is what your mother said herself, I believe she has her troubles." However, here I would like to make two requests. One is that we don't live with our in-laws after marriage, so that unnecessary conflicts can be avoided. The second is that I am in charge of the finances after marriage, and there is no need for us to quarrel over money. ”
Jing Bo was forced to be in front of everyone, nodded helplessly, and agreed to these two requests. Jiaqi's decisive move not only resolved the conflict with Jingbo's mother, but also established her own status and authority in the family. In the rest of their lives, Jingbo's mother never came to disturb their lives again, and the harmonious atmosphere in the family was maintained.
