If a family puts interests first and ignores family ties, what will be the outcome?
On this day, Wang Li was one full month after confinement. Wang Li felt relaxed and sent away her mother who was waiting for her. As soon as she sat down with her child in her arms, her mother-in-law, Lao Yang, came with a cold face and said to Wang Li: Your mother will take care of you during confinement, and I will take care of your children. You go out and make money, and give me back the bride price we gave you!
When Wang Li married Mrs. Yang’s son Haisheng, according to local custom, Wang Li asked her husband’s family for a gift of 100,000 yuan. Her wife was a little reluctant and didn’t want to give such a colorful gift. Mrs. Yang said: You won’t give it. If she doesn’t marry her, our son won’t be able to get a wife! Give her a bride price, and let her earn money to pay back the bride price after she gets married!
After Wang Li got married, because Grandma Yang bought a house to live in the city for her son Haisheng, after Wang Li gave birth to the child, she asked Grandma Yang to take care of her during the confinement period. Grandma Yang said: You asked for so many colorful gifts when you got married, and we owe it to you. We have a lot of debt, we have to make money to pay off the debt, and we don’t have time to serve you! Helpless, Wang Li had no choice but to ask her mother to take care of her during confinement.
After Wang Li gave birth to her child, her mother returned home, and her husband Haisheng went out to work. She and the child were the only two people left at home. According to Haisheng's request, Wang Li took care of the child at home, while Haisheng went out to work to earn money, but her mother-in-law came. Now, the mother-in-law has to take care of the children, so Wang Li goes out to work to earn money to pay back the bride price. Wang Li felt that it was empty to take care of her children at home every day, so she went out to find a job.
After Wang Li went to work for a month, her mother-in-law said to Wang Li: Give me your part-time salary! Wang Li said: Why should I give you the money I earn? The mother-in-law said angrily: Because you asked for a gift of 100,000 yuan when you got married. This 100,000 yuan is the pension money that we, the old couple, worked hard to earn. You must earn it and give it back to me! Wang Li said coldly: It's ridiculous. It's customary to ask for a betrothal gift when getting married. It's the same for every marriage now, and I'm not an exception. Besides, you have already agreed to give a bride price when you got married. Since you gave it, there is no reason to get it back!
Wang Li did not give her salary to her mother-in-law, and a quarrel broke out between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Yang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She often asks Wang Li for money in various ways, citing her family's living expenses. After Wang Li gave the money to Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Yang often stopped cooking and Wang Li came home from work. Seeing the cold pots and stoves at home, I asked Mrs. Yang why she didn't cook. Mrs. Yang said angrily: You asked for so many gifts when you got married, how can you have money to buy food? Wang Li finally got angry and said to Mrs. Yang: Go back and I’ll ask a nanny to take care of the child!
Mrs. Yang was also very angry. She thought that when Wang Li got married, she wanted a gift of 100,000 yuan. Now she was living in the house she bought for her son, and her daughter-in-law had to kick her out. Not only did Mrs. Yang have a big quarrel with Wang Li , and even called her wife over to let her vent her anger.
Wang Li saw that her father-in-law had also come, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law fought with her and pushed against her. She called her husband and told her what happened at home. Her husband said to Wang Li: Who asked you to ask for 100,000 yuan when you get married? Money as a gift? My parents are right to ask you to earn money to repay the bride price, and you should listen to them!
Wang Li was heartbroken when she heard what her husband said. She said to her husband, father-in-law and mother-in-law successively: I am not a good woman and I am not worthy of being a daughter-in-law for your family. Now that I am gone, you can marry a daughter-in-law who does not need a bride price!
Wang Li took the child back to her parents' home. Mrs. Yang and her wife had no job or source of income in the city, so they locked the door of their son's room and returned to the countryside.
Nowadays, women are very popular in rural areas. Some people saw Wang Li returning to her parents' home with her child in her arms, thinking that her relationship with her husband Haisheng had broken down, so they came to introduce Wang Li to her husband.
Mrs. Yang forced her daughter-in-law to leave. She did not dare to hide it. She called her son and told her son that Wang Li had returned to her parents' home. The son rushed back and went directly to Wang Li's parents' home. Wang Li said: "Give me your monthly salary card for your part-time job." Give it to me or get divorced! Haisheng reluctantly handed over his salary card.
Haisheng rushed back to his parents' house and said to Mrs. Yang: "You won't make me a bachelor, will you?" Be careful that no one will care about you when you get old! Mrs. Yang sighed and shook her head...
