I see many sisters, all day long, calling on the paternal house to be equal to the grandmother’s family. But say it once more and once more. From time immemorial, once you get married, you have to take care of your husband’s family, the elders said. Now all she wants to be fair. It’s also very strange.
I have been married for 7 years. To be honest, when I was not married, I thought my wife was a reasonable person. That day, every time she came to my house, she was also busy doing one thing following another. My parents and sister’s birthday, she never forgets a day. Even when I can’t attend, I send gifts. When my mother saw this, she said:
“I see that this child has a good character, knows first and then knows later. See how you talk to him. Get married as soon as possible, lest someone get in the way for a long time.”
With the support of my parents, I proposed. Only 3 months later, we held the wedding in the joy of both families. However, to be complete, my parents also had to borrow a lot to make the table decent. So following marrying her son, my mother still owes her nearly 50 million.
After the wedding, when I saw my wife checking for gold and showing off nearly 4 trees, I said:
“Or I can give my mother a tree so she can pay off the debt. Anyway now, my husband and I do not use this gold. And my mother has to pay interest every month.”
Thought my wife would agree. Suddenly she sobbed and cried:
“Just got married, you can’t even warm your hands with gold, you said that? Try to calculate it, out of these 4 trees, only 5 are given to you by your family. The rest belongs to the outside of my house. If my mother borrows money for my wedding, I will pay back the other 5.”
Only then did I find my wife narrow-minded. But then, thinking regarding that or that, I decided to agree with my wife’s suggestion. After getting married, my husband and I still live in the same house with my parents. When my wife was pregnant with morning sickness, I often went on a business trip. So in those days, only my mother and sister took turns eating and drinking.
When talking to each other, I always tell my wife:
“See, you see, no one takes care of a daughter-in-law with a sister-in-law as thoughtfully as my mother and sister. Later, if she gets married, I also have to make her a 5-point bracelet. But giving too little is bad for the family.”
I thought my wife thought that was reasonable. Unexpectedly, she always snapped back:
“Oh well, every month I send my mother 5 million, but you and I only have one meal at home. When will I not give any money but my mother is still so good, I will admit it! As for the wedding of Ms. Xuan, let me consider it. In the past, when I got married, she left, I only had 1 million. She gets married, it’s fine if I go to gold.”
My husband’s younger brother, but my wife still accepts it. At that time, my brother had just graduated from school to work, and an envelope of 1 million was already very precious. That’s how the wife also noticed until now. Then when my brother got married, the couple also struggled a few times, finally closing the number 3 just to give it to her brother-in-law.
Honestly, I love my sister very much. She was married into a rich family but her parents-in-law were difficult. So whatever you do, you have to look at the face of your mother-in-law to live. The day I texted to ask how the family was preparing for Tet, my brother said:
“My mother-in-law likes perennial peach trees, it sounds like tens of millions. But she said this year for me and my husband to buy, I don’t know where to get the money. I’m pregnant and don’t go to work, wedding gold must also be saved.”
Hearing you say that makes me feel sorry. Normally at home, he doesn’t have to worry regarding such trivial things. It’s hard to get married this year. Then last night, my wife excitedly showed off her new 40 million savings account due. She is thinking what to do with this money. I suddenly thought of my sister and said to my wife:
“Or give it to Spring. Her mother-in-law demanded to buy tens of millions of peach trees, but she had no money. Well, I give it to her so she can have a beautiful New Year with her husband’s family.”
My wife heard it and looked at it in bewilderment. She even turned around and told me not to dream. 40 million, not 4 million, she is also determined not to leak. I was bored listening to my wife. I don’t understand why you have such a selfish idea. That money is clearly untouched, right? Even now, my wife and I have more conditions than before. The account has billions of silver, what does she regret 40 million? I thought, no matter what, I will give my sister some money. Who let it be so ugly to her husband’s family. It’s my blood anyway, how might she forbid it.
