Chapter 17

Some happiness is like the cool sea breeze blowing in the hot summer; some happiness is like feeling the warmth in the ice and snow...

I think my happiness in 2018 belongs to the second type.

I am not afraid of heat, but I am afraid of cold, especially my heart...

The ice and snow can be used as a reflection of my cold heart when I was in a low point.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, well, I used to be a teenager, I thought this problem would not appear in my family. Why? Because my aunt is a person with a good temper, not the bad mother-in-law type played in TV series. So, the girl who marry me will definitely be very happy, after all, my whole family will spoil her.

But there are so many things in my life that I can never imagine...

If a person is destined to face the problem of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, no matter how his family is, he cannot avoid this problem.

And I have such a destiny...

Since my uncle went to another world, my aunt has been living in sorrow and has not been able to get out of it for a long time.

Although many people advised her to be more open-minded, they were not Aunt after all. As Aunt replied: "A couple for decades, can you read it so easily if you read it?"

Only those who cry when they say they want to cry are those who understand Aunt. Her heart is not that strong...

I thought my aunt would be immersed in this sadness for a long time, and would wait until I had a child before recovering. However, due to the fate, the second sister accompanied her to Nanshan Temple for more than ten days. Not only did she find an old friend who had been wanting to contact for so many years but could not find the contact information, but she also converted to Buddhism and felt much better.

At first I heard my aunt say she had converted, but I thought she had been at Nanshan Temple since she became a monk. Later I realized that the conversion she mentioned was to become a Buddhist disciple, not not not to go home.

In fact, as long as Aunt is happy, my sisters and I support her.

Because I converted, my aunt started eating vegetarian dishes and no longer ate meat. She didn't eat fried vegetables if they were dipped in lard, so she had to divide them into two portions, one was fried with peanut oil, and the other was fried with meat.

In my eyes, these are nothing, I can accept them. But in Xiaoshi's eyes, they are not that simple.

In terms of nutrition, Xiao Shi believes that the nutrition of the human body requires the combination of meat and vegetables. If you eat vegetarian dishes for a long time and the body is not nutritious enough, it will easily lead to problems.

In terms of atmosphere, Xiaoshi felt that it was obviously a family, but the fried dishes had to be eaten separately, and it was very troublesome, and there was no taste of eating for a family.

Psychologically, Xiaoshi thinks that if her aunt doesn’t eat meat, will she not make chicken soup for herself when she gives birth to a child in the future?

In fact, although Auntie has converted, it is not that she cannot eat meat, but that she cannot kill herself. The Buddhist books I have read have described it. Therefore, Auntie herself is determined not to eat meat.

But even so, I understand. Eating vegetarian food is better. After all, Aunt has always had many minor illnesses, but after eating vegetarian dishes in Nanshan Temple for more than ten days, she was very healthy and in a good mood. Therefore, my sisters and I did not object to her eating vegetarian food only.

So the question is, if I support Aunt A can only eat vegetarian food, then it is in opposition to Xiaoshi's not support Aunt A can only eat vegetarian food.

In terms of nutrition, Xiaoshi and I told Xiaoshi that eating vegetarian food has the benefits of eating vegetarian food, and also told her about her aunt's health.

In terms of atmosphere, Xiaoshi and I said not to eat certain dishes, which does not mean that we are not like a family. Just like, if I don’t like eating fish, it’s the same principle that I don’t eat fish.

Psychologically, Xiaoshi and I said that Aunt is a person who understands the truth and has no reason not to eat meat, so that the whole family will not eat meat. By then, you are in confinement and she will not be able to make chicken soup for you to drink.

I tried to make her understand everything she questioned by reasoning as much as possible.

But, there is no way.

Because Aries sometimes doesn't listen to the so-called truth. She will just reply coldly: "Forget it! I don't care! You are all right! Just what I said is wrong!"

I comforted as low as possible: "No, my dear. I don't mean that, why do you have to think about the bad side?"

She kept replying: "No need to say it! It's my fault! My fault! It's all my fault!"

I……

That helplessness...

Helping Auntie will hurt Xiaoshi. Helping Xiaoshi will hurt Auntie.

On one side is my mother who just walked out of her sadness and smiled, on the other side is my wife who was just pregnant, me who was sandwiched between me, alas...

In addition to the domination of her own personality, Xiao Shi was also excited that the pregnant woman was in a mood as unpredictable as the weather. So, I endured it.

But the contradiction is getting bigger and bigger...

Xiaoshi told her father about her discomfort, which elevated the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to the different values ​​of the two families.

At that time, my dad called me and scolded me...

He once asked me to persuade Auntie to eat meat, but I didn't. I respect Auntie's choice. After hearing what Xiaoshi said to him with emotion, he would naturally be affected by her emotions and became more emotional. He said, "I really don't understand what the hell is your family?! Alas!"

At that moment, listening to the phone, tears flowed down my face...

Yes, why did my family become like this?

Uncle, it would be great if you didn't leave...

At that moment, my sadness and helplessness, and my longing for my uncle turned into tears...

Dad thinks it is definitely not good to not eat meat. Many of the nutrition of people comes from meat, especially drinking bone soup. If you destroy your body because you don’t eat meat, Xiao Shi and I will be bothered. Then you will have to take care of her, take care of the children, and work, how can you be busy?

Dad and Xiaoshi always have to look at Auntie vegetarian food from the most profitable perspective, and also give examples from the worst case scenario.

And I think, no matter how well a person eats, will he be healthy if he is unhappy? In my heart, as long as my aunt is happy, I think it is enough. Only happy people can be healthy.

I look at Auntie from a considerate perspective, and also from an optimistic perspective.

This is the embodiment of the different values ​​of two families. We cannot say who is right or wrong, because they all make sense.

My father and Xiaoshi are concerned about Auntie's body, and I am concerned about Auntie's mood. In fact, they are all for Auntie's good, but the way is different.

This contradiction was waited for several months before it was resolved. The way to resolve it: Auntie is willing to drink a bowl of broth every day.

This is just one side of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law...

Whenever I am trapped in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I feel that the world is so cold and I am so helpless...

However, as long as it is handled, you will still feel a warm feeling in your heart.

As long as I see that they can chat happily together and have no bad emotions, I will feel very warm in my heart.

Isn’t it good to have a family of love, so it’s a little more warmth?

Only when you have love at home can you have warm energy in your heart.

In my low 2018, with warmth, happiness will be immortal. (To be continued)
