The Spring Festival is approaching, and every family is immersed in a joyful and festive atmosphere. Zhang Jing and her husband Li Qiang also returned to their in-laws' house with their son Xiaoyu to prepare for the festival together.
The in-laws' house is located in a small town, which is antique and full of strong New Year's flavor. As soon as Zhang Jing entered the house, she felt a warm embrace and greetings from her in-laws. Xiao Yu also happily ran around the yard and played with the family's pet dog.
One of the highlights of the Spring Festival is the distribution of red envelopes. Zhang Jing and her husband had already prepared a red envelope for their in-laws, and Xiaoyu was also excitedly looking forward to receiving New Year's money from the elders. However, in the process of handing out red envelopes, Zhang Jing found something that made her a little uncomfortable.
The in-laws sent a 300 yuan red envelope to Xiaohui, the daughter of the little uncle, but Xiaoyu only received 200 yuan. Zhang Jing couldn't help but wonder, she remembered that the red envelopes in previous years were the same, how could there be a sudden difference this year?
She looked at her husband Li Qiang, and saw that he looked indifferent, as if all this was taken for granted. Zhang Jing couldn't help but ask: "Parents, why is Xiaoyu's red envelope 100 yuan less than Xiaohui's?" ”
When the in-laws heard this, they smiled a little awkwardly and explained: "Oh, in the special situation this year, we are a little short of money, so we want to send more to Xiaohui first, and then make up for Xiaoyu next year." ”
When Zhang Jing heard this, her heart became even more uncomfortable. She understood what her in-laws meant, and she just wanted to favor her brother-in-law's family, after all, her brother-in-law's economic conditions were not as good as theirs. However, this approach made her feel very unfair.
She looked at Xiao Yu, he was still just a child, and he didn't have much idea about the number of red envelopes. However, Zhang Jing is worried that such unfair treatment will leave a shadow in his heart and make him feel that he is not valued.
At night, Zhang Jing and Li Qiang were lying in bed, and she couldn't help but express her dissatisfaction in her heart: "Don't you think it's unfair for your parents to do this?" Xiaoyu is also their grandson, why is the treatment worse? ”
Li Qiang listened, sighed and said, "I know how you feel, but parents have their own ideas. We can't fall out with them because of that. ”
Zhang Jing listened to her husband's words and became even more depressed. She understood what her husband meant, and she just wanted her to endure it and not to destroy the harmony of the family because of this trivial matter. However, she felt that such forbearance would only allow the injustice to perpetuate.
The next day, Zhang Jing decided to talk to her in-laws. She sat in her in-laws' room and spoke her thoughts and feelings. She told her in-laws that she didn't care about the 100 yuan, but felt that such an approach was unfair to Xiaoyu. She hopes that her in-laws can treat her grandchildren equally with a bowl of water.
The in-laws listened to Zhang Jing's words and were silent for a while. Then, they apologized to Ms. Zhang, admitting that what they had done was really inappropriate. They said they would pay attention to treating their grandchildren fairly in the future and not let such things happen again.
Zhang Jing listened to her in-laws' apologies and promises, and felt a little relieved in her heart. She knew that this kind of communication, although awkward and difficult, was necessary. Only in this way can families be more harmonious and children grow up healthily in a fair environment.
After the Spring Festival, Zhang Jing and her husband took Xiaoyu back to their home. However, she has always remembered the promise of her in-laws in her heart. She hopes that this commitment will not be just an empty word, but will be translated into action.
Sure enough, in the following days, the attitude of the in-laws towards Xiaoyu has changed significantly. They not only bought Xiaoyu a lot of toys and clothes that he liked, but also cared more about his growth and health in daily life.
Xiao Yu also felt this change, and he became more confident and cheerful. He often shared his joys and troubles with his in-laws, and also spent a lot of happy times with them.
Seeing all this, Zhang Jing felt very relieved. She knows that her persistence and communication have not been in vain, and her in-laws have truly realized the importance of fair treatment. She also believes that in such a family atmosphere, Xiaoyu will thrive and become a confident, cheerful, and caring person.
And this story also spread in Zhang Jing's circle of friends. Many people praised her for her courage and persistence, and they were also happy that she was able to successfully change the attitude of her in-laws. Some people even put this story into their circle of friends, hoping to let more people see this positive energy.
Zhang Jing felt very warm in her heart when she saw these likes and **. She knows that her story is not just a simple family story, but a story of fairness, love, and communication. She hopes that this story will inspire more people to realize the importance of fair treatment and that they can be more mindful of their own feelings and needs in their daily lives.
During this Chinese New Year, Zhang Jing and her family went through a test of fairness and love. Eventually, through communication and perseverance, they make the family more harmonious and happy. This story also tells us that no matter what kind of problems and difficulties we face, as long as we stick to our beliefs and principles, and actively communicate and solve them, we will definitely be able to find the best solutions.
