"Sister-in-law, what are you doing in my room?" Yu Fei came home from get off work, only to find her sister-in-law moving her things in her room.
"Yufei, I want to clean up your room for my brother to live in. He will come here to study in high school. My parents are worried about living on campus, so I let him live at home so that it can be convenient to take care of him." My sister-in-law said to Yufei.
Yu Fei's eldest brother has been married for more than a year. His brother and sister-in-law live with their parents. She is not married yet, so she naturally lives at home. The house with three bedrooms and one living room is just enough.
Not long after Yufei's sister-in-law came in, she asked Yufei if she had found a boyfriend, which meant that she would have a baby and the family would no longer be able to live in it. Yufei's parents would follow their daughter-in-law's advice and urge their daughter to get married. Yufei felt uncomfortable and felt that she had become a superfluous person in the family.
Yufei's brother has an average income, and the family cannot afford to buy him a separate wedding house. He finally got a wife, and the family coaxed him hard. They were afraid that his daughter-in-law would not follow his son, and the son would become a bachelor. Yufei had to endure being run away from time to time, otherwise her parents would also scold her.
Yu Fei has studied better than her brother since she was a child, got into a better university than her brother, and has a better job than her brother. However, in the eyes of her parents, no matter how good a daughter is, she still has to get married. Only sons are the ones who inherit the legacy of the family. Since she started working, most of Yu Fei's salary has been taken away by her parents to subsidize her brother.
When her brother got married, her parents sold their old house to buy this new one. The difference in price was made up with Yufei's money. Yufei had to pay her parents living expenses every month. It can be said that the basic expenses of the family were Yufei's money, but Yufei couldn't even keep her own room.
My sister-in-law asked Yufei to give her room to her brother, but Yufei naturally refused. The two of them started to argue with each other. When the parents came home and saw their daughter and daughter-in-law quarreling, they said without asking the reason that Yufei was ignorant and how could she quarrel with her sister-in-law. After
figured out the reason, they actually said that Yufei was already in her twenties and could be independent. If she didn't want to sleep on the sofa in the living room, she should go out and rent a house!
Yufei was really hurt when she heard what her parents said. She had hardly saved any money in the past few years of working. Her parents always found various reasons to ask her for money. Every time she relented and gave it to her. She also paid for the house. But now she kicked her daughter out of the house because her daughter-in-law's brother wanted to live at home. Does she really doubt that she is the biological child of her parents?
Yufei looked at her proud sister-in-law, and then at her parents who stood opposite her and didn't care about her at all. She seemed to have figured out something, so she nodded and said yes. She told her parents that they would give her one month to find a house and that she would move out as soon as possible. Her parents gave her a rare compliment and said that she was sensible.
Yufei was neglected by her parents since she was a child. She was too eager to get the love of her parents, so she studied hard to become excellent, hoping to get the attention of her parents, but it seemed that no matter how hard she tried, it was useless. Now she really doesn't even have a home.
There are better job opportunities at a friend's place. She has always been hesitant and doesn't want to be too far away from home. Now she thinks about leaving this place that makes her sad. From now on, she will pay her parents some money every month to repay her parents for their upbringing. She no longer expects anything else.
Yufei completed the handover of work here in one month, then took her simple luggage to a big city far away from home, rented a house with friends, and started a new life with a much higher salary than before.
Before she changed her mobile phone number, she called her parents to report that she was safe. She thought her parents would care about her, but they didn't. They didn't even ask her where the rented house was and whether it was safe or not. They told her not to forget to send them money. Her heart was completely cold. She changed her mobile phone number and cut off contact with her parents. Except for calling her parents 2,000 a month in alimony, she never went home during the New Year.
When Yu Fei got married, she notified her parents, but she received no blessings, only abuse, calling her heartless. She had been indifferent to her family for so many years, and even secretly changed her job and phone number. They had long since assumed that she no longer had a daughter. She also said that she must give them 5,000 every month from now on, otherwise they would go to court to sue her for not supporting her parents.
Yufei hung up the phone and burst into tears. Her boyfriend hugged her and said that his family would also be hers from now on, so she should not be sad, and they would give her double love in the future.
Yufei felt that fate was fair. Although she did not get the love of her parents, she met a good husband and in-laws. Her in-laws were really good to her and she was very filial to her in-laws. She felt the warmth of the family. It turns out that being loved by her elders is such a happy feeling.
After Yufei became a mother herself, she learned how difficult it was to be a parent. Although her parents favored sons over daughters, they still raised her. She is living a good life now and does not want the haze of the past to affect her current life. She changed the monthly alimony of 2,000 to her parents to 4,000. She told her parents that she hopes they can be well in the future and stop resenting each other.
Do you think Yufei did the right thing?
