Newlywed Yan'er Xiaomei and her husband Xiaogang are planning their honeymoon with great anticipation. As white-collar workers in the city, they carefully selected an island as their destination, looking forward to the world of two people under the clear water and blue sky.
However, plans can't keep up with the changes. The mother-in-law suddenly offered to go with them, on the grounds that she might never have the opportunity to go far again. Xiaomei suddenly fell into a dilemma, on the one hand, she yearns for private time, and on the other hand, she is filial to her elders.
Xiaomei's heart struggles, and she understands that this is her sweet time with Xiaogang, and the first step in their married life together. However, she couldn't bear to refuse her mother-in-law's expectant eyes. Xiao Gang, as a son caught in the middle, seems to be in a dilemma.
In the end, under Xiaogang's repeated persuasion, Xiaomei tearfully compromised and agreed to let her mother-in-law go along. Maybe this is an opportunity to show a new daughter-in-law's filial piety and tolerance, she thought.
Every day of her honeymoon, Mei tries her best to arrange activities for her mother-in-law and husband, even though it means that she has to sacrifice her own rest time. Although the scenery of the island is beautiful, Xiaomei's mood is like a reef by the sea, constantly washed by the waves of reality.
The mother-in-law's various discomforts and complaints make what should be a romantic honeymoon into a trip to take care of the elders. Xiaomei insisted on smiling, even though the grievances in her heart were surging like a tide.
A family meeting unfolds in a depressing atmosphere. In the face of her mother-in-law's selfishness and her husband's weakness, Xiaomei finally understands that marriage is not only a combination of love, but also a collision of two family values.
She firmly filed for divorce from Xiaogang, a decision that shocked the whole family. Mei explained that what she needs is a partner who knows respect and boundaries, a relationship that can grow together, not a threesome marriage.
The topic of divorce is at home**, the mother-in-law is angry, Xiaogang is remorseful, and the family atmosphere is tense for a while. Until by chance, while walking by the sea, she met a wise man.
The wise man saw Xiaomei's distress, and said: "Life is like this sea, sometimes calm, sometimes rough. You won't always be able to control the environment, but you can learn how to sail. ”
Mei is touched by the wise man's words, and she begins to try to see the trip from a different perspective. She took her mother-in-law to participate in activities and discovered the story of her mother-in-law when she was young. She learned that her mother-in-law had given up many of her dreams just to support her family.
These stories make Xiaomei understand, and she begins to try to open her heart and try to build a new relationship with her mother-in-law. At the end of the honeymoon, Xiaomei did not divorce decisively, but chose to sit down with Xiaogang and her mother-in-law to learn how to get along better.
This conversation is difficult, but it is also necessary. Xiao Gang realized his art of balancing between two of the most important women, and he began to work hard to play the role of a good husband and son. The mother-in-law also began to understand Xiaomei's feelings and promised to give more space to the young people.
Since then, a new harmonious relationship has been established between the trio. Xiaomei and Xiaogang's marriage became stronger because of this trip. The mother-in-law also learned to respect the boundaries of young people, and the family became happier and more harmonious.
Xiaomei's story teaches us that when faced with problems, confronting conflicts head-on and solving them through communication and understanding can promote personal and family growth more than escaping. Her marriage with Xiaojie has experienced a real test, but it has become more precious because of the courage to face it.
Through this experience, Xiaomei also grew up, and she learned to find a balance between marriage and family life. Her story conveys a positive energy that leads us to create a more harmonious society.
Emotionally inspirational.
