My name is Xiaoli, I am a native rural child, and I have a younger brother.

I had good grades, but I only went to elementary school. Because my parents said that when I get married in the future, I will become someone else's family, and there is no need to waste money to train me.

On the contrary, my brother's grades are very poor, but my parents are determined to train him. He repeated his high school years and only barely got into three colleges.

After I dropped out of school, I have been working in the factory and handed over the money I earned every year to my mother.

When my brother was in college, my father got sick and couldn't do heavy work later, so I was under even greater pressure.

My mother also set a rule for me that my brother cannot get married before graduating from university.

She was afraid that we would get married and had her own small family, so she would not have that much money to subsidize her.

It was not until more than 3 years after my brother graduated from university that I was 30 years old that my marriage was on the agenda.

Fiancé Zhang Xiong and I met on blind date. After getting along, both parties felt that it was pretty good, so we got engaged.

Zhang Xiong's family gave a 120,000 yuan gift, including the money to buy three gold .

After the guests left, my mother took it out, looked at it again and again, saying that it would be great if the money was all hers.

Why do you say if? Because there is an unwritten rule for us. I must take back all the bride gifts I give to my husband on the wedding day. If

is not given, it will be laughed at by people from the same village, and the man will have a lot of opinions.

But I still underestimated my mother's greed. That night, at the dinner table, my mother smiled and said to me: Girl, discuss something with you. The 120,000 yuan bride price will be brought back when you get married. There are 60,000 left, okay?

I didn’t look at her, but just replied in a low voice: This money is not mine, it is from the man’s house. You go and discuss it with them.

My mother's face changed after hearing this, but she still tried to smile and said: It's not up to you if they agree or not. As long as you look to your mother, there will be no problem with this matter.

I remained silent and quickly scattered the rice in the bowl and returned to the room. After

, I heard my mother saying bad things about me, saying that I had not really gotten married, and started to go to my in-laws' house.

My dad sighed and said: Forget it, she has paid a lot for our family over the years and has given us all the money for working. Don’t think about this bride price anymore.

My mother snorted and didn't say anything anymore. This matter was done.

A few days later, my brother called back and said that he would bring his girlfriend to my wedding at that time.

My brother and his girlfriend have been talking to each other for more than 2 years and are preparing to get married next year. This is the first time my sister-in-law is coming to my house, and my mother has to prepare a generous meeting gift.

My mother muttered in front of me for a long time, and then asked tentatively: I'm not convenient now, your dowry is just at home, so I'll use 20,000 yuan. Will I return it to you when it’s convenient?

I know that it is impossible for my mother to repay it if she borrowed it. I replied in a very low but clear voice: You should look for my brother.

I have spent more than ten years on this family. Now my brother is old and I want to have my own small family. I will no longer sacrifice myself to fulfill their lives.

When the divorce was still half a month away, Zhang Xiong and I went to buy three gold coins together. My mother also went there, and she said she would check it for me.

When I arrived at the gold shop, Zhang Xiong and I were looking at the ring, necklace and earrings. My mother did not follow me, but looked at it on our own. No matter how hard she looks like she is here to check on me.

We selected more than ten kinds of things, and finally, after trial and measurement of price, we chose three. The clerk helped us pack it and took it directly to the shop owner to pay.

At this time, my mother immediately brought a pair of gold bracelets and threw them into the payment area, saying: I also want this, please pack it for me.

I felt very uncomfortable at the time, but in front of so many people, I felt embarrassed to have an attack, and the owner had already used it to calculate the price.

After a while, the owner said: Sir, you need 39,000 in total, scan the code or cash?

I thought I had heard it wrong, and I only chose three gold medals for more than 10,000 yuan, so why has the total price more than doubled?

result clerk said: That's right, that pair of gold bracelets is 26,000.

My mother saw that my face was very bad and was afraid that I would regret it. She immediately said: I didn’t pay attention to the price, but I liked this style the most, and I bought it to bring it to your wedding.

Although I was very unhappy, I had to pay, otherwise I would let others watch a joke. My mother also ordered this and then suddenly took it to me when I was about to check out.

In the blink of an eye, my wedding date is coming soon, and my brother and sister-in-law are back. That night, I saw my brother posting a gold bracelet with my sister-in-law wearing it. The caption: My mother gave me a gift for my girlfriend, I bought it for 26,000 yuan, and my girlfriend likes it very much.

My heart sank. It was clearly what my mother bought with my bride price that day. At that time, she lied to me and said that I would bring it to my wedding day.

I ran to my mother's room angrily, opened my brother's circle of friends, asked her to see it, and asked: Mom, why do you use my bride price to buy a meeting gift for my sister-in-law?

My mother hurried over and closed the door: What are you shouting? What if your brother and sister-in-law hear it, what should you do?

Then, she stammered and said: I don’t have a decent gift in my hand, so I can only take the gold bracelet and give it. I guess even a three-year-old child won't believe this. She had already planned this when she bought a bracelet.

I stared at my mother and said angrily: It’s okay to borrow it, just make up for the money you bought the gold bracelet.

My mother was very excited after hearing this. She pointed at my nose and scolded: It's so good. Now I want to marry someone else's family, so I dare to talk to me like this. I can't make up for you, and if you dare to go out and say it, you will never go back to your parents' home in the future! My father and your brother have nothing to do with you. You can jump around now. If you don’t have the support of your parents, and your in-laws will bully you to death, no one will look at you.

I stared at my mom and couldn't say a word.

Haha, I have been giving my best for this family for the past ten years. Now my mom says something to break off from me.

I am indeed afraid. If I start to make a fuss now, my upcoming wedding will be in chaos.

Although I don’t want to come back after getting married. But my mother is right. If a girl without a mother's family meets a bad family, she will have a hard time in the future.

I ran to my room and locked the door. My dad asked me to have a meal in the evening, but I didn't open the door. My brother was outside asking me what happened.

My mother told them not to care about me, saying that I was reluctant to marry and had premarital anxiety.

I feel very aggrieved and can't swallow this. I really want to talk to my dad and my brother, and even have a fight with them. But my mother's threat made me afraid. What exactly should I do? Do you really want to break up with my mom?
