Demolishing a house for my daughter, my son and daughter-in-law were dissatisfied, and I took my mother-in-law to the door to question, I replied with a word, and they left with a smile!
My name is Lin Cui'e, and I am an ordinary old lady in the city, and I am 65 years old this year. I have a son and a daughter, the son is named Li Qiang, and the daughter is named Li Ting. My husband died of illness at an early age, and I worked hard to raise my two children by myself, provide them with education, and watch them start a family. Although the days were hard, my heart was full of satisfaction and relief.
With the development of the city, my family's old house was included in the scope of demolition. **The compensation given is quite substantial, in addition to the cash compensation, I can also choose a new house. I thought that my daughter had been renting a house and her life was unstable, and although my son had his own house, it was small and not spacious. So, I decided to give this new house to my daughter, hoping that she would have a stable place to live and a better life.
However, my decision caused dissatisfaction among my son and daughter-in-law. They thought I was biased and only gave my daughter a house but didn't give it to them. They approached me many times and asked me to give them part of the demolition money or give them a new house. I patiently explained that my decision was for my daughter's future, but they just wouldn't listen.
One day, my son and daughter-in-law came to the door with their mother-in-law to question me. They were fierce and fierce, as if I had done something heinous. Although I was a little panicked in my heart, I was more determined and calm. I knew I couldn't change my decision because of the pressure.
I looked at them calmly and waited for them to finish venting before I spoke. I said, "You think I'm biased and only give Tingting a house, not you." But you know what? Tingting has been renting a house since she was a child, and she has no home of her own. In order to save money, she often eats instant noodles and is reluctant to buy new clothes. In order to work, she often worked overtime until late at night, and she was exhausted. She helps take care of your children without regrets. What about you? You have your own house, which is a little smaller, but it's big enough to live in. You have a stable job and a good income. Your children are also taken care of. Your life is much better than Tingting. I did this just to make up for her years of dedication and sacrifice. I'm not partial, I just hope you can understand my painstaking efforts. ”
After I finished speaking, the room fell into a brief silence. My son, daughter-in-law, and mother-in-law all lowered their heads, as if thinking about what I said. After a while, my son looked up at me and said, "Mom, we get it." You're doing this for Tingting's good, we shouldn't be so selfish. Sorry, we were too impulsive before. ”
The daughter-in-law also chimed in and said, "Yes, Mom, we were wrong. We shouldn't just think about ourselves and ignore Tingting's dedication. We will support you in your decision and will also help Tingting to decorate her new home. ”
The mother-in-law also spoke: "Aunt Lin, it's us who is wrong. We are too greedy to take into account your difficulties. We will advise the two of them to let go of their dissatisfaction and live a good life with you. ”
Seeing their sincere apologies, I felt a sense of relief. I know that my decision is not wrong, I just treat my children with love. I smiled and said to them, "Good boys, if you can understand me." We work together to make our lives better. ”
Since then, our family has become more harmonious. The son and daughter-in-law no longer care about the demolition money, but take the initiative to help their daughter decorate her new home, and also help take care of the children from time to time. My daughter also felt the warmth and support of her family and worked harder. My mother-in-law often came to the house to chat, cook, and watch TV with us. Our lives are full of laughter and warmth.
I know that all this is inseparable from my firm decision and those affectionate words. I used my love and wisdom to resolve family conflicts and make our lives better. I am proud and satisfied with my decision, and I am also happy and relieved to have such a wonderful group of children.
