I was born and raised in a poor countryside, my father died when I was young, my mother raised me alone. Understanding my mother’s hardships, from a young age, I tried to study to have a better life later. After graduating with a good degree, I quickly found a job at a foreign company with a good income.
Later, I met Ly, 4 years younger than me. At that time, she had just graduated from school, and was assigned to the group I worked for. As the leader of the group, Ly did not have much working experience, so I had to guide and teach her a lot. After a period of contact, the two gradually develop feelings for each other. Having known each other for nearly 2 years, we are thinking of getting married.
Ly is a city girl, her parents do business, so the family has conditions, if I have to compare, my house with hers is really a heaven and a world, not a subject for registration at all. So everyone complimented me on my good fortune when I got a rich and beautiful wife, and changed my life in the future thanks to my wife’s family.
I just laughed, because although my family is not as rich as Ly’s, my income is not so bad, I have bought myself a small apartment in the city to welcome my mother to live with me. I love Ly simply because their personalities match, she is rich but not arrogant, but if my girlfriend relies on a rich family to show off, I have already eliminated “from the parking round”.
I love Ly because their personalities match, she is rich without fighting, not because of her family’s money. (Illustration)
Only a week left until their happy day, last night Ly’s parents called me over for dinner. After eating, my wife’s parents took out a 5 billion savings book, saying it was for my husband and I.
I thought to myself that my family’s condition was worse, my future wife’s parents wanted to save face for the groom’s family, so they gave gifts before there were no outsiders, but I was wrong. My future mother-in-law looked at me and said:
– In this book, there are 5 billion, parents give their children to stabilize their lives, keep saving or investing in business is up to the two of them. In addition, following getting married, parents will also buy them a house to live in, settle down, then they can start a business. But, I have a condition.
From the past until now, when taking the bride and bringing the bride, it is the father taking the mother to pick him up, so it is logical that the mother and daughter should go home with Ly’s children. But my mother is a widow, so I told her to stay at home, not to pick up the bride or show up at the wedding. I don’t want that bad luck to happen to you in the future as well.
Ly’s mother’s words made me both shocked and proud. What if my mother is a widow, there’s no reason why children get married but parents can’t attend. Besides, my mother has only me, she has been waiting for this day for so long.
If my wife and I don’t live well in the future, it’s because we don’t match, why drag my mother into it. When did you have such an old concept?
The future parents-in-law made a request that made it difficult for me to accept, so I canceled the marriage. (Illustration)
I vehemently disagree. My wife’s parents said that if I still insist on letting her go to pick up the bride, I won’t give the house the same dowry.
When I came to this country, knowing that I might not change the mind of my wife’s parents, I asked for permission to annul the marriage:
– Uncle, to me, my mother is the most respectable person. She might have gone one step further and found her own happiness, but because she was afraid of suffering, she had to stay alone to raise her grandchild. My mother fasted even though I might go to school and acquire civilized knowledge, but now on my wedding day, I can’t go to pick up the bride or attend, so I don’t deserve to be a child anymore.
That amount of money you guys keep, I’m sorry not to accept. I apologize for not being able to meet the conditions of the two of you, and also ask for permission to cancel the marriage. Me and Ly have not registered their marriage, so we don’t miss her life.
After saying that, I left angrily to the surprise of my future parents-in-law, Ly ran following crying and begging me to think once more, but I ignored it. As soon as I got home, my mother slapped me on the back, blaming me for being stupid for having such a beautiful and beautiful wife, with such a good family background that I didn’t know how to keep. Turns out, on the way home, Ly’s mother called my mother to discuss this.
– Mom has suffered a lot, now it’s okay to be a little humble, as long as you are happy, I will do anything. Besides, the girl’s family only wants good things to come to the two of them, not looking down on widows like their mother, they still talk to their mother very politely, with full gifts.
Then my mother asked me to apologize to Ly’s parents and continue organizing the wedding. But I’m still confused in my heart, what do you guys think I should do now?
