Just because of a packet of porridge, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law turned into a conflict in front of her relatives

Married for 3 years, and now I understand the saying "life does not predict anything", moms. The story is that my wife and I have lived separately in the city since we got married, my husband's parents are healthy and don't like to be away from home, so they decided to stay in the countryside, only occasionally coming back to visit, so we are very comfortable, just think that life goes on smoothly, mother-in-law - daughter-in-law do not live together, so everything is normal until last week I return to their hometown.

I just gave birth to my first child at eight months. Having a good job arrangement, so last week, my wife and I just packed up the child to go home to celebrate the anniversary of the death for two days, which was convenient for baby Bo to visit his grandparents. In my husband's hometown, the anniversary of the death is very festive, especially this time the big anniversary has to be dozens of trays but only family members cook it themselves, knowing that I will have to be busy with the party, I don't have free time, so I put a few packets of fresh porridge in the suitcase for your child to eat for convenience. Because of these packets of porridge, for the first time, there was a conflict between her daughter-in-law with her mother-in-law in front of relatives on the big anniversary, which is embarrassing.

That day, when I was about to put things on a plate, I suddenly remembered that it was time to feed my children, hurriedly ran up to get a package of porridge when my mother-in-law caught me and asked me what to do. Noticing her holding a packet of porridge in her hand, she immediately pouted and criticized why she was feeding her child like that, because the packed porridge was full of preservatives, with no nutrition. I try to explain to my mother that I'm busy now, not every day I cook porridge myself and before I buy anything for my child to use, I choose it very carefully.

I thought it was quiet, but after listening to me, she became even more "frustrated", culminating in saying that "Here is full of food, and drink, and maybe I can't cook it. Do you want to humiliate me in front of the whole village?" and then "You are a mother like this, you can't cook a bowl of porridge" makes me embarrassed before everyone.

The conflict was never-ending, and my cousin-in-law approached her to reassure her not to worry. She often buys this type of fresh porridge for her children, Cay Thi fresh porridge is a packet of porridge but has good quality and convenience, so many mothers with young children use it a lot. Then, my mother-in-law looked at her angrily: "Yes, you are good at taking care of your child, the old woman like me doesn't know these types of canned packaging".

Therefore, she left, and I still had to make porridge for my children to eat but wanted to burst into tears at that moment. Just because of such a small thing, at present, there is a distance between us. When I went back to the city, my mother said she was not angry anymore, but my feeling was still "embarrassed" when we talk on the phone,  and uncomfortable like before.

To be honest, it makes me upset, because it affects my relationship which has been smooth for a long time with my mother-in-law. I understand that she said that because she was worried about me and loved me, but I was still so upset because I thought about it for a few days, seeing that I didn't do anything wrong. Now I'm confused, and I don't know what to do, if you were the mother in such a situation, how would you handle it? Should I admit the mistake or try to explain it to my mother so that such a situation will not happen in the future? It's exhausting because of raising children and having a lot of opinions on it.
