A female netizen posted a process of causing a family war in the anonymous commune of the "Leaks Commune" APP. She said that she lived in her mother-in-law's house after she got married to her husband. Her mother-in-law loves her very much and will help take care of the children. Therefore, after she received the work bonus, she wanted to give the ice cabinet that her mother-in-law had always wanted as a gift, which unexpectedly caused a sensation.

The netizen said that she also has an unmarried elder sister and a newly married younger sister in her family. Because she has a lot of people and often goes to Costco to buy things, she has always wanted to buy ice cabinets, but her mother-in-law is reluctant to buy them. As a house, she often works overtime recently for work. Her mother-in-law is afraid that she will be tired and will take the chicken soup and pick up her children by herself. She has been in the living room for several nights, which makes her really moved, so she wants to report back to her mother-in-law.

But as soon as she knew she was going to buy an ice cabinet, her family was immediately divided into two groups. She and her mother-in-law wanted an ice cabinet, while her husband, father-in-law and aunt thought that the refrigerator was more practical and wanted a refrigerator. After the vote, the refrigerator parlor won the victory. Unexpectedly, my mother-in-law suddenly became angry and said, "The money is mine, so why can't I use my sister-in-law to speak." My husband and father-in-law were also stunned because my mother-in-law has always had a good temper and has never developed such a big temper."

After the incident, the relationship between my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law became very tight. Although my mother-in-law asked her not to mind and could buy any of them, my sister-in-law came to beg her and kept saying that the refrigerator was better and the function of the ice cabinet was too single, so she asked her to help her. The mother-in-law also said that her sister-in-law was hurt and asked her not to follow her temperament and buy whatever she wanted. The female netizen was originally a happy mood, but she was dragged into the battle between her mother-in-law and her sister-in-law. Now it is difficult to ask the netizen what to do.

Most netizens suggest that the netizen "maintain the original intention", "what you want to buy is what you want, and your mother-in-law helps you and your children, so you want to buy an ice cabinet for your mother-in-law", "Ice cabinet +1! Ice cabinet does not have to be placed in the kitchen, mainly to store cold items", and "If you think it is inconvenient, you can pay for it yourself."

Some netizens also analyzed that they cannot be viewed purely from a practical perspective. He proposed three points: "1. After buying an ice cabinet, there will be more space when the things are moved to the refrigerator. 2. No matter how bad the relationship between mother-in-law and sister-in-law is, they will be bloody, and it is easy to make up. 3. The sister-in-law will leave home one day, but you will always be there, and you will have to face her mother-in-law sooner or later. Based on the above points, you should communicate with her sister-in-law and ask her to discuss it."
