I quarreled with my mother-in-law, and my husband helped me every time, until I heard the conversation between him and my mother-in-law, and I knew that my mother-in-law was really good for me!
My name is Lin Ya and I live in an ordinary family of three. My husband Li Hao and I are college classmates, and we have been in love for many years and have a deep relationship. Our married life was also harmonious and happy until the arrival of my mother-in-law, which broke this tranquility.
My mother-in-law is a strong woman who moved in with us shortly after we got married, saying she wanted to take care of our lives. However, the way she takes care of me is stressful. She was always at me, finding fault with me for not doing my housework well enough, and even criticizing my cooking skills mercilessly when my friends came to visit the house.
Every time I had an argument with my mother-in-law, Li Hao would stand on my side, comfort me, and persuade my mother-in-law. His support warms my heart and makes me feel that there is at least one other person in this family who understands me.
However, one day, I overheard a conversation between Li Hao and his mother-in-law, which made me deeply suspicious of all this.
That day, I came home from work early, and I wanted to surprise Li Hao, but I unexpectedly found him and his mother-in-law talking in a low voice on the balcony. Out of curiosity, I crept closer to hear what they were saying.
Mom, why do you always target Xiaoya? Li Hao's voice was full of helplessness.
Hao'er, I'm helping her. There was a hint of firmness in the mother-in-law's voice, "She's a good girl, but she needs to learn more." I did this to make her stand firmer in this home. ”
However, if you do so, it will stress her and our relationship will become strained. Li Hao's tone was worried.
I know. The mother-in-law sighed, "But that's what she has to face." That's how I came back then, and that's how your dad did to me. This is a tradition in our family, and it is also a test for our daughter-in-law. ”
Hearing this, I was stunned. It turned out that my mother-in-law was not deliberately targeting me, but helping me in her own way and allowing me to gain a foothold in this family. I suddenly remembered that she usually made all kinds of pickiness about me, and those seemingly unreasonable demands turned out to be her well-intentioned performance.
A warm current surged in my heart, and most of my resentment towards my mother-in-law dissipated. I realized that I had misunderstood her intentions and treated her as an enemy. Now that I think about it, I was too narrow-minded.
I decided to go to my mother-in-law to apologize and thank her for her good intentions. When I walked to the balcony, I saw my mother-in-law preparing dinner for me, and her back looked so kind and warm.
I walked up to her and whispered, "Mom, I'm sorry I misunderstood your intentions. Thank you for doing so much for me. ”
My mother-in-law turned her head and looked at me with tears in her eyes. She smiled and patted my hand and said, "Silly boy, we're all here for your good." As long as you can understand, I'm satisfied. ”
Since then, my relationship with my mother-in-law has become much better. She stopped pointing fingers at me, but guided me in a gentler way; I no longer treat her as an enemy, but as a respectable elder. As a result, our family has become more harmonious and happy.
Every time I think back on that experience, I am filled with emotion. It turns out that the truth is often hidden under the surface, and only by feeling and understanding it with your heart can you discover the beauty in it. Thank you for your mother-in-law's good intentions, and thank Li Hao for her support and understanding. It was they who taught me to grow up and be tolerant, and they also made me cherish this wonderful family even more.
