Li Mei and Liu Qiang are a newlywed couple who have just moved into a new house and started a new life of their own. However, Li Mei soon found that her mother-in-law had a strange attitude towards her. She was always worried that Li Mei would speak ill of her behind her back, and even lay outside their door every night to eavesdrop. This made Li Mei feel very uncomfortable and troubled.

At first, Li Mei tries to communicate openly with her mother-in-law, hoping that she will trust her, but her mother-in-law always acts very sensitive and suspicious. Li Mei felt very frustrated and helpless, and she didn't know how to deal with the problem.

One night, Li Mei finally couldn't take it anymore and she decided to take action. She sat on the bed, pondered for a moment, then picked up her phone and began recording a voice message.

Mother-in-law, I know you're eavesdropping outside the door. I understand that you are worried that I will say bad things about you to my husband, but please believe me, I have never said a bad word about you. I love you, respect you, and appreciate your care and love for us. I know that you are a kind, hardworking, and responsible person, and I admire you very much. However, I would like you to give us some personal space and trust. We are all adults with our own thinking and judgment skills, and we don't need others to monitor and judge behind our backs all the time. I hope you can understand my thoughts and give us some freedom and privacy. ”

Li Mei recorded this voice message several times until she was satisfied. Then, she gently opened the door, placed her phone on the floor of the door, and set a timer to send it.

The next morning, when the mother-in-law walked into the kitchen, she heard a voice message from her phone. She froze, listening carefully to every word. When she heard the words "I hope you can understand my thoughts and give us some freedom and privacy", my mother-in-law's tears couldn't help but flow. She realized that her actions were causing distress and discomfort to the children, and how much she had hurt herself by her distrust of them.

The mother-in-law decided to change her behavior. She began to respect the children's privacy and freedom, and stopped eavesdropping on their doors. She began to take the initiative to communicate with Li Mei, listen to her thoughts and opinions, and try to understand her feelings. She began to care more about Li Mei's life and work, and gave her support and help.

As time passed, the relationship between her mother-in-law and Li Mei became more and more intimate and harmonious. They often cook, go shopping, and watch movies together, and they become a real family. The mother-in-law has also slowly learned how to trust and understand her children, and no longer worry that they will speak ill of her.

At a family gathering, her mother-in-law expressed her gratitude and apologies to Li Mei in front of everyone. She said: "Li Mei, thank you for your understanding and support all the time. I know I didn't do well enough before and caused you a lot of distress and discomfort. I'm so sorry. I hope you will forgive me and continue to have a good relationship with me. ”

Hearing her mother-in-law's words, Li Mei felt very moved and relieved. She hugged her mother-in-law and said gently, "Mother-in-law, you don't have to apologize. I know you're doing this because you care about us. We are a family, and mutual understanding and support is what it should be. I will always be with you through every wonderful time. ”

Since then, the family has become more harmonious and happy. Their trust and understanding of each other became the most valuable asset in their lives. Together, they face life's challenges and difficulties and work together to create a warm and wonderful family environment.
