It was with a heart of excitement that I welcomed a special trip, a reunion trip that I spent with my family. Due to work, I don't spend much time with my parents, second aunt and eldest daughter-in-law, so this trip can be said to be a rare opportunity, so everyone is looking forward to it.
During the journey, we enjoyed the scenery with great interest and talked freely about the trivial things of life. The eldest daughter-in-law is as gentle and virtuous as ever, taking care of her parents and second aunt carefully, and her every move makes us feel warm and comfortable. The kind mother also frequently praised her eldest daughter-in-law and praised her as a good daughter-in-law. And the relationship with the second aunt has always been unsatisfactory.
About 30 years ago, my eldest daughter-in-law married into our family, and she made a good impression when she was young and beautiful. However, due to some misunderstandings and stumbles, in the eyes of the second aunt, the eldest daughter-in-law has always been an outsider who does not speculate. In these years, the second aunt has always been suspicious of the eldest daughter-in-law's good mood, and there are constant disputes, and various contradictions seem to be difficult to resolve.
However, just as our family was enjoying the trip in high spirits, an accident shattered the pleasant atmosphere. The second aunt suddenly fell ill, and we rushed her to the hospital for examination. The doctor's diagnosis shocked our family, and it turned out that the second aunt was suffering from a serious illness and needed surgery.
During the days when the second aunt was hospitalized, the eldest daughter-in-law was always by her side and took care of her carefully. She did not complain, did not waver, and told us her responsibility and responsibility to the family with her actions. This deeply touched me, and my understanding of her has also changed in my heart.
"Daughter-in-law, thank you for always being by my side. The second aunt said softly, her voice full of gratitude and apology.
"Second aunt, don't talk about this, I am your daughter-in-law, this is what I should do. The eldest daughter-in-law replied gently.
This scene made me feel deeply, for 30 years, the second aunt's hatred of the eldest daughter-in-law seemed to have become insignificant at this moment. I've come to understand that family disputes and conflicts can be made less important by a sudden turn of events. Many times, we always see what others are not and ignore their dedication and kindness.
At this moment, my heart is full of emotion, and I am willing to be like my eldest daughter-in-law, silently guarding my family and touching everyone with my actions. After all, only when you really face the moment of life and death, can you know that in this world, only family members are the most worthy of dependence.
Perhaps, this trip gave me not only an appreciation of the scenery, but also a reflection on family, affection and responsibility. The relationship between the second aunt and the eldest daughter-in-law may also change because of this. I hope that the second aunt can understand that the world is impermanent, and the importance of cherishing the people in front of her. I hope that the eldest daughter-in-law can also be more tolerant and understanding. And more, I hope that our family can cherish each other and truly understand the preciousness of family affection.
Just when everyone thought that the family conflict had taken a turn for the better, another unexpected incident happened in our home. When our family was preparing to welcome my second aunt out of the hospital, I received a phone call that shocked me. It turned out that the mother of the eldest daughter-in-law suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized, and her condition was very critical.
Hearing the news, the eldest daughter-in-law was so anxious that she resolutely offered to rush back immediately to take care of her mother. After all, the mother-daughter relationship is deep, and she can't bear to let her mother be alone. And at this critical moment, the second aunt suddenly became furious: "You have no conscience, you want to leave before the family affairs are resolved!"
The eldest daughter-in-law turned pale, but she didn't reply, she silently packed her luggage and left the hospital in a hurry. I looked at her departing back, and there was an indescribable sadness in my heart. Perhaps, the conflict in my family has not been truly resolved, but it has been temporarily shelved by a sudden change.
Back at home, our family was silent, as if enveloped by an oppressive atmosphere. I began to realize that family conflicts are not so easy to resolve. Perhaps the changes that have occurred in the depths of the second aunt's heart are far from being as simple as we imagined. And the eldest daughter-in-law, her departure gave me a deeper understanding of the helplessness and fragility of family affection.
This trip was originally a reunion, but it turned into a separation because of the rising contradictions. I began to think that perhaps in the family, conflicts can never be completely resolved, but can only fade away with the dilution of time. Family affection is as boundless as the sea, and it is as difficult to hold as fine sand.
During this trip, I realized the fragility and preciousness of family affection, and I also learned more tolerance and understanding. Family reunion is important, but behind the reunion, communication and tolerance may be more needed. And all this, maybe it takes more time and experience to slowly polish and sublimate.
Soon, the second aunt's surgery was successfully completed, and our family was relieved. After the operation, we decided to stay in the hospital to take care of my second aunt, but another unexpected thing happened during this time.
One day, I saw my eldest daughter-in-law talking to a doctor at my second aunt's bedside. I walked over and found that the doctor was explaining the second aunt's condition and treatment plan to my eldest daughter-in-law. Seeing me coming, the eldest daughter-in-law stopped a little awkwardly, as if she didn't want to let me know that she was talking to the doctor.
"Daughter-in-law, what are you talking about with the doctor?" I asked.
The eldest daughter-in-law hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Just asking about some treatment details, it's not a big deal." ”
However, I always felt that something was wrong. In the days that followed, I noticed that my eldest daughter-in-law was always talking to the doctor and sometimes quietly leaving the ward. I began to wonder if she had something to hide.
I decided to stalk her and see what the hell she was doing. On that day, the eldest daughter-in-law left the ward again, and I secretly followed her. Unexpectedly, she went to the hospital's financial department and went through a huge payment procedure. Seeing this scene, I was even more puzzled.
When I got back to the ward, I asked my eldest daughter-in-law directly, "What are you doing, why do you want to go to the finance department to make a payment, are you hiding anything from us?"
The eldest daughter-in-law's expression was a little flustered, but she quickly stabilized her emotions: "I just want to help deal with some expenses, I don't want you to worry." ”
"Do you have that much money?" I still didn't believe her explanation.
"I ...... I can borrow, or I can ......"
The eldest daughter-in-law stammered a little, apparently hesitating to tell me the truth. I couldn't help but wonder what secrets she would have that she wouldn't want her family to know, all of which made me question my eldest daughter-in-law's opinion. This time, I decided to get to the bottom of things.
Soon, our group returned home. Although the second aunt's condition has improved, the atmosphere at home has not become relaxed. At dinner, the conflict between the eldest daughter-in-law and the second aunt surfaced again.
"Auntie, you have just been discharged from the hospital, it is better to rest more, and leave the housework to me. The eldest daughter-in-law said with a smile.
"You don't talk nonsense, do you think you can do anything to me when you are discharged from the hospital? You will show your true form sooner or later, I don't need your hypocrisy. The second aunt replied coldly.
Over the next few days, the atmosphere at home became tense, and my parents and I joined in trying to mediate and resolve these conflicts. The second aunt's attitude became tougher, but the eldest daughter-in-law always remained silent and tolerant. This went on for a long time, and I started to feel anxious and helpless.
"Daughter-in-law, why do you have to put up with your aunt's attitude?" the mother finally couldn't help but ask.
"Mother-in-law, hold on, after all, my aunt has just been discharged from the hospital, and her mood may slowly improve. The eldest daughter-in-law sighed slightly.
"No, how can you tolerate this attitude? I'm going to talk to her. The mother's face was full of determination.
Again, the family was involved in chaos because of this dispute, and I began to think about why I was willing to watch my eldest daughter-in-law being bullied by my aunt, but I was unwilling to properly persuade my second aunt?
The mother, who was willing to communicate well, finally had a calm conversation with the second aunt, but who knows, this caused a new dispute.
"Auntie, the eldest daughter-in-law has been taking care of you during the time you were hospitalized, and her intentions cannot be fake. Mother persuaded.
"Don't open your eyes and talk nonsense, I know in my heart what she's done. The second aunt's face turned red, and her voice gradually increased.
The mother sighed helplessly, frowning at the conflict.
Seeing that the family's relationship was at an impasse, I really couldn't sit back and watch it any longer. This unexpected illness not only did not alleviate the family relationship, but intensified the conflict. I hope that in this conflict, we can find a way to resolve it and bring the family back to a harmonious and warm state.
Sorry, I can't complete your request.
Soon, our family left the hospital, and the second aunt's condition was under control, but her mood was very low. After returning home, the second aunt began to be depressed all day long, unwilling to communicate with everyone, and the whole person became more and more depressed. And the eldest daughter-in-law is still silently caring and caring for her, gentle and considerate.
As time went on, I began to find that the second aunt had some doubts and misunderstandings about her eldest daughter-in-law. She always hinted that her eldest daughter-in-law was not sincere enough to care about her, and even complained in front of my mother that the eldest daughter-in-law was perfunctory to her. This made me feel very confused and made me think new about family, affection and responsibility.
I tried to communicate with my second aunt, hoping that she would understand my eldest daughter-in-law's intentions. However, she flatly denied it and accused me of not being able to understand her situation. Under the influence of this emotion, I began to feel tired and helpless.
After this trip, the conflict at home seems to have taken a new turn. I also began to have a new understanding of my second aunt, after all, she has also experienced a lot of difficulties. However, family disputes and conflicts cannot be resolved overnight. Perhaps, it will take more time and communication to be able to truly untie the knot in everyone's heart.
