The sky was gray, like a confusion in my heart. The newlywed flowers have not yet withered, I returned to my mother-in-law's house with gifts with a heart of expectation, I thought it would usher in a warm family atmosphere, but my mother-in-law's indifference made me feel like I had walked into a frozen winter.
The gift was delivered to her mother-in-law, but she just glanced at it lightly and didn't say anything. My mood was as dull as this gray weather, and the anticipation in my heart instantly turned to disappointment and confusion.
I'm Ye Yue, 27 years old, a young professional woman. Although I look independent and strong on the outside, I can't hide my inner fragility and confusion at the moment. I looked up at my husband, who also looked a little embarrassed, as if he already knew all this.
In order to improve the relationship, I began to take the initiative to engage in household chores. I worked hard to cook, deliver food, and take the initiative to chat with my mother-in-law, but she was still as cold as ice and snow. Even in public, my mother-in-law belittled me in person, which made me feel more and more embarrassed.
One day, I was irritable and couldn't stand it anymore. During a cooking session, I tried to communicate with my mother-in-law, hoping to solve this awkward situation.
Mother-in-law, I know you may have some grievances against me, but I really want to get along with you and work hard for this family. I spoke tentatively.
But my mother-in-law looked at me coldly and didn't say a word. The silence made me feel even more frustrated.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, if there's something that dislikes you, can you tell me?I asked, somewhat frustrated.
The mother-in-law remained silent, her eyes full of disdain. I felt like a pebble thrown into the ocean, and the ripples it stirred up were insignificant.
The conflict continued to escalate, and my mother-in-law and I had a heated argument. She accused me of being lazy, hypocritical, and greedy for money, while I refuted her accusations of slander, slander, and incomprehension. The whole room is filled with tension, as if the glass is about to break at any moment.
Why are you so selfish and want to take everything?My mother-in-law asked me angrily.
I didn't mean to, do you know me?You don't know me at all!"I suddenly lost control and my emotions were exploding.
The husband stepped forward and tried to mediate the quarrel. He said, "Mom, don't be too Yueyue, it's the first time she's in our family and it takes time to get used to it." ”
The mother-in-law snorted coldly and said no more. I ran back to my room in a rage, tears blurring my eyes. The husband gently closed the door behind him.
Don't be too upset, Yueyue. Mom may value this family too much, so she will be harsh on you. She's also doing it for our good. "My husband tried to comfort me.
I looked up at him, but suddenly I felt a grievance in my heart. I asked, "Won't I be able to get a little bit of approval in her heart?"I tried, really tried. ”
My husband gently stroked my hair and comforted, "Yueyue, let's take our time, she will accept you slowly." Don't take it too seriously, time will tell. ”
The turning point came at the moment when I decided not to give up easily. I was determined that no matter what difficulties I encountered, I would try to make a difference. The next morning, I woke up early and started Xi to do housework. I thought that maybe in this way, I was able to touch my mother-in-law's heart.
I studied my mother-in-law's meals carefully and worked hard to take care of her life. Whenever I had the opportunity, I would take the initiative to communicate with her and try to bring us closer. Slowly, my mother-in-law began to notice the change in me, perhaps because she saw my sincere dedication, and her attitude began to relax.
Yueyue, the food you've been cooking lately is getting better and better, and you're making progress. "My mother-in-law offered to invite me to cook with me and even taught me how to cook her family's specialty. This made me feel extremely relieved and moved, as if I saw the sunshine of spring.
As night fell, I was sitting with my mother-in-law, and she suddenly patted my hand gently. At that moment, I felt a wave of warmth welling up in my heart.
Yueyue, I see your efforts, you are a good girl. There was a hint of relief in the mother-in-law's voice.
I looked at her with some surprise, and she smiled and said, "In the future, we will cook together, and you will learn to cook the dish I taught you." ”
At this turning point, I felt a sense of relief and relief. My mother-in-law's heart seems to have opened a gap, and I am willing to work hard to close the distance between us in this gap.
Eventually, my mother-in-law and I hugged each other, and she said with emotion, "Yueyue, thank you for your dedication, and thank you for your patience and understanding." ”
