After their son got married, Old Zhang and his wife moved in with their son and daughter-in-law. They thought it was the beginning of a happy family life, but it was the prelude to their troubles. Old Zhang was used to getting up early. Every morning, he would turn on the radio and listen to the noisy opera broadcast. However, her daughter-in-law was a light sleeper. The sound of the radio was like a sharp thorn, piercing straight into her dreams. Although she didn't say it, Old Zhang could vaguely feel her tired and cold expression every time she had breakfast. Eating was also a big problem. Old Zhang and his wife had been thrifty all their lives. They were never willing to throw away the leftovers and would always save them for the next meal. Her daughter-in-law, on the other hand, was particular about freshness and balanced nutrition. She frowned when she saw the leftovers on the table and occasionally couldn't help but say a few words about healthy eating. Old Zhang and his wife felt that they were being looked down on by her for being old-fashioned. As for his son, he was stuck in the middle. He understood his wife's philosophy of life and also felt sorry for his parents 'frugal habits. However, every time his parents and wife were unhappy because of these small things, he could only sigh silently. Old Zhang's wife liked to put some old things in the house. Those were memories of their past lives. Her daughter-in-law felt that these things took up space and were not beautiful. She wanted to decorate the house in a fashionable and simple style. Once, she couldn't help but secretly throw away a few old ornaments. When Old Zhang's wife found out, she was so angry that she cried and had a big fight with her daughter-in-law. As for Old Zhang, he always liked to nag about his son's work. He felt that his son should work harder to fight for a promotion opportunity. The son felt that his work was already very hard. His father did not understand his stress. Every time Old Zhang nagged, he could not help but talk back. During family gatherings, the conflict was even more obvious. Old Zhang and his wife wanted to celebrate the festival in the traditional way. They cooked a big table of sumptuous food and sat together as a family. Her daughter-in-law wanted to try new ways, such as going to a restaurant outside or having an outdoor picnic. The two thoughts collided, and the atmosphere in the house instantly became tense. Gradually, the family was no longer as happy as it used to be. It was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere. Mr. and Mrs. Zhang often tossed and turned at night, feeling as if they had become outsiders in the family. Their daughter-in-law also felt that her living space had been invaded, and their son was exhausted under the pressure of both sides. They had all lost their hopes for a happy family under the same roof. Read more exciting novels for free
