Young couples who are new to society face the collision of traditional concepts
Wang Xiaomei and Li Qiang, a young couple working hard in a bustling city, although their lives are busy, they support each other, and their lives are sweet. Li Qiang is calm and introverted, delicate, and seems to have a peaceful life, but because of a kind move, it has set off a lot of waves
Wang Xiaomei and Li Qiang are only children, grew up in the city, do not know much about rural life, Li Qiang's parents live in an old house in the suburbs, frugal life, traditional concepts, married for two years, Wang Xiaomei and in-laws get along quite well, but occasionally because of living habits and concept differences there are some small frictions
In the scorching summer, a filial piety unexpectedly caused family conflicts
Last summer, the heat was unbearable, Wang Xiaomei and Li Qiang went to visit their in-laws, and found that the old couple was still using the old electric fan to live, and the house was stuffy and unbearable
On the weekend, the two walked around the home appliance market, carefully selected an energy-saving air conditioner, and personally delivered it to the door, installed and debugged, and watched their in-laws show a gratifying smile in the cool air-conditioned room, Wang Xiaomei and Li Qiang felt extremely relieved and felt that their efforts were worth it
This joy did not last long, a month later, Wang Xiaomei unexpectedly received an electricity bill from her brother-in-law, as high as 367.5 yuan! Before she could react, her mother-in-law's phone also chased after her, implying that they were responsible for the electricity bill for the air conditioner
Wang Xiaomei suddenly felt unacceptable, buying an air conditioner out of filial piety, but never thought of bearing the follow-up electricity bills, not to mention, her in-laws have always been thrifty, and suddenly used so much electricity, obviously did not change the habit of use, which made her feel very uncomfortable
The conflict of ideas escalated, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law reached an impasse
Wang Xiaomei tried to communicate with her mother-in-law, explaining that buying an air conditioner was a gift and that the electricity bill should be borne by themselves, but her mother-in-law thought that she was scheming and inconsiderate of the elderly, and even moved out of the "high wages of people in the city" to talk about things, which made Wang Xiaomei even more angry
The two sides insisted on their own words, argued, and finally broke up unhappily, and the mother-in-law even said cruel words and asked them to move the air conditioner away, saying that they were not rare, Wang Xiaomei was angry and hung up the phone directly
In the evening, Wang Xiaomei, who was physically and mentally exhausted, came home and told Li Qiang what had happened, hoping that he could understand his feelings, but Li Qiang felt that she was overreacting, and thought that it was not worth it to hurt the harmony for a few hundred yuan
Wang Xiaomei was even more aggrieved, thinking that it was not a matter of money, but a matter of principle, she didn't understand, why was she misunderstood and kidnapped by morality?
Communicate rationally with the husband and wife to find a solution
After a fierce quarrel, Li Qiang also realized the seriousness of the problem, he calmed down, thought about his wife's position, and also reflected on his own attitude, and finally, he decided to communicate with his mother again, hoping to resolve the misunderstanding
Li Qiang patiently explained their thoughts to his mother, and expressed his willingness to bear the electricity bill this time, but hoped that the family's expenses could be shared in the future to avoid similar conflicts from happening again
After some twists and turns, the mother-in-law finally agreed to Li Qiang's proposal, although she was still a little dissatisfied, she could also understand the young man's thoughts, and hoped that the family could get along in harmony
Reflections on the unexpected learning of the truth
The matter seems to have come to an end, but Wang Xiaomei always has a pimple in her heart, she doesn't understand, why her mother-in-law obviously accepted their kindness, but she still had to make irresponsible remarks behind her back to make her bear the infamy of "unfilial piety"?
It wasn't until one day that Wang Xiaomei met her old neighbor Aunt Wang in the hospital and learned the truth of the matter, it turned out that her mother-in-law was not as arrogant and unreasonable as she imagined, but often praised them for their filial piety in front of their neighbors, saying that they took the initiative to buy air conditioners and bear the electricity bill
Only then did Wang Xiaomei understand that she had misunderstood her mother-in-law, and the old man may have just been not good at expressing himself, or he was in the way of losing face, so he said those hurtful words
Regain family affection and resolve estrangements with love and understanding
Wang Xiaomei told Li Qiang what Aunt Wang said, and both of them felt very guilty, they realized that they only cared about being angry before, but ignored the old man's feelings, and lacked communication and understanding
In order to make up for their previous mistakes, Wang Xiaomei and Li Qiang decided to care more about the lives of their in-laws, often called to greet them, and went back to see them when they had time
Life goes on, and family relationships are not all smooth sailing, but Wang Xiaomei and Li Qiang believe that as long as they treat each other sincerely, with more understanding and tolerance, they will be able to cross the generation gap and establish a harmonious family relationship
