My husband and I are both ordinary white-collar workers, and our monthly salary is only over 10,000. With the usual expenses, I have to remit money to my parents regularly, so there is only a lot left that can be saved.
It is precisely for this reason that my husband and I have always rented a house.
In this city, our biggest dream is to own a house of our own.
For this dream, my husband and I saved money and couldn't bear to buy any good things. We just tightened our belts to live.
Finally, God pays off. After ten years of marriage, my husband and I finally saved up one million, enough to pay the down payment for a house in this city where every inch of land is worthwhile.
Just at this time the child was 6 years old and reached the age of changing to elementary school. It was just right for him to get a school district house.
That night, my husband and I made up the accounts in the room for a long time, and finally breathed out. From now on, we only need to pay a mortgage of 2,000 yuan a month, and the pressure of life has been greatly reduced.
However, we only outlined a little about the beautiful blueprint for the future, and was completely interrupted by the arrival of an uninvited guest.
When I got off work that day, I felt something was wrong.
Usually my husband would come to pick me up, but today I didn’t come for the first time, and there was no news, so I had to take the bus home by myself.
When we arrived at the door of the house, there was a pair of old-fashioned women's shoes on the shoe rack at the door.
I suddenly realized that it was my mother-in-law who came here.
The old man usually lives in his hometown, and it is inconvenient to go to the city. He always calls my husband to pick him up and drop him off.
Sure enough, when I inserted the key and opened the door, I saw two people sitting in the living room, one was my husband and the other was my mother-in-law.
But both of them looked good, and they were so gloomy that they could drip out of water.
When I saw me coming back, my mother-in-law asked coldly, "Xiaofang, come here. I just discussed something with Qiangzi, but he disagreed. I think you are a sensible person and should know what to do."
Hearing this, I subconsciously glanced at my husband, and saw that he was still cold, so I had to turn my eyes back: "What's the matter, Mom? Tell me."
Mother-in-law pushed the reading glasses and said, "I heard that you plan to buy a house recently."
My heart suddenly jumped. We didn't spread this news, at most, just a few good friends knew, how did my mother-in-law know?
Then, my mother-in-law sneered: "Now your brother-in-law is waiting for money to help me. I told Qiangzi that this house can be bought in the future, but if this person misses his life, it will be gone. But he gave me a black face and was unwilling to take out the money. Xiaofang, what do you think?"
I suddenly felt sweat in my forehead, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but saw my mother-in-law's eyes staring at me, and the whole house fell into silence for a moment.
To be honest, we can’t blame ourselves for being cruel. Everyone will feel uncomfortable if you care about this money.
Besides, just my brother-in-law is so embarrassed to ask us for money, so is there a need for treatment?
My brother-in-law is a fool.
This is not what I scolded him, but it is literally.
It is said that this is because I fell into the water when I was a child. The adults didn’t have time to pull it up. It was the cold winter month again, and they had a fever and burned their brains.
As for why it fell in, it is another old story.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with my husband, and he said he fell into the water to save him. It is precisely for this reason that my mother-in-law always feels that my brother-in-law is her husband's responsibility, and she has also asked for a lot of money from us over the years.
The reason why my mother-in-law came to the house this time was that she found a so-called miracle doctor for her brother-in-law, so she had to have had a stupid illness for many years. I knew it was unreliable when I heard about
. My mother-in-law was afraid that she would have been cheated.
But somehow, my mother-in-law believed in this miracle doctor very much, and for this reason she did not hesitate to ask us for money for a house.
We had to settle for the second best, saying that we were going to visit such a miracle doctor to determine the feasibility of the treatment, but my mother-in-law was unwilling to do so.
Now we can react no matter how slow we are. There is no miracle doctor. It’s all my mother-in-law who makes things out of nothing here, just wanting money.
My brother-in-law is no longer a son in her mother-in-law's place, but a tool for making money.
After thinking about this clearly, my husband and I stopped hesitating and drove my mother-in-law out of the house.
In the future, we will take our brother-in-law to take care of us. No matter how bad we are, we will hire a nurse, and we will not give our mother-in-law the opportunity to make money.
My brother-in-law saved her husband's life. This is the kindness we should repay, but this should not be borne by my mother-in-law.
