My husband and I have been in love since college. A year following graduating and working, we decided to get married. During the wedding, he held my hand tightly and said, “Marrying you is the best decision of my life.” Needless to say, how emotional I was at that moment.
After getting married, my husband and I lived with my husband’s parents and had a very happy and peaceful life. My husband is an engineer, has a relatively stable job and good income. My income isn’t that bad either.
Because there is no economic pressure and my husband’s parents are comfortable, every weekend we travel together or wander the streets and cafes, enjoying the time we have as two people.
On weekends, my husband and I go out to eat and hang out. (Illustration)
The second year following getting married, her mother-in-law suddenly had a stroke. Although she was saved, she spent the rest of her life confined to bed. His father-in-law’s health has never been good, his mother-in-law is the one who takes care of him. Now that my mother is also paralyzed, both of us need someone to take care of us.
After discussing it with each other, I decided to quit my job to stay home and take care of my husband’s parents. As for her husband, to increase the family’s income as well as have more advantages in his future career path, he decided to go abroad to work for a year according to the company’s decision.
– Will you take good care of yourself and my parents?
Before leaving, my husband looked at me worriedly and asked.
– Don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything at home, so you can rest assured and go. Over there, you also have to take good care of yourself.
I held my husband’s hand and choked up.
The following days were a series of days where I repeated the same boring daily tasks. When I open my eyes, I go to the market, prepare breakfast for my parents-in-law, clean the house, and come back to eat at noon. Bored, I learned foreign languages and practiced online business, one to relieve sadness, two to earn some extra money.
That day my father-in-law suddenly knocked on my door and made a request.
One night following 3 months when my husband went abroad, my father-in-law knocked on my door and gave his daughter-in-law a bank card. While not understanding what he meant, his father-in-law immediately made a request:
– In this bank card there is 1 billion, which is my parents’ life savings. Now I leave it to my children. I have only one request, which is that you take good care of your mother, so that she can enjoy her old age with peace of mind.
The father-in-law’s voice was hoarse. This happened so suddenly, why did dad give money to his daughter-in-law when my husband was not at home? I was regarding to refuse, but my father-in-law continued:
– Dad knows best how his health is. Old age is like a lamp in the wind, you don’t know when it will go out, so while you’re still healthy and alert, I’ll give you this money.
Dad said so, so I accepted the money and encouraged him:
– Dad, don’t worry, you’re still healthy. If Dad doesn’t say anything, my husband and I will take good care of you and Mom.
My father-in-law looked at me and smiled, saying that the family was very lucky to have a daughter-in-law like me. Before returning to the room, he also told me to pay attention to my health.
– While being away from your husband, you still need to know how to beautify yourself and find joy for yourself. I think you’ve been so quiet lately, go out shopping or hang out with friends sometimes to relax. Dad can still walk, can still get a glass of water, and feed your mother porridge, so you don’t have to worry.
Hearing my father’s advice, I was moved to tears. Staying at home to take care of my parents-in-law, spending all day in the garden and kitchen is really stuffy and hard. But having a good husband, being responsible for the family, having good parents-in-law, everything I spend is worth it.
