I am Aunt Zhou, 62 years old this year.

I gave birth to a son and a daughter, my daughter is the eldest and my son is the second.

My husband died unexpectedly when his son was 3 years old. After that, I lived with my children, which was really difficult. For this reason, my daughter only graduated from junior high school and went to work with me.

My son is quite successful. He has good grades and has been admitted to a key university.

However, the year my son graduated from college, I got a serious illness. Over the years, all the 200,000 I saved money was spent. Originally, the 200,000 yuan I wanted to support my son in buying a house.

I feel guilty. My son said, my life is more important than money. If the money is gone, we can make another profit. What's more, he won't let me spend money when he gets married in the future.

I know very well in my heart that my son is comforting me. However, we have no other way except to continue to live a good life.

After my son started working, he asked me to go back to my hometown to recuperate. He gave me 1,000 yuan in living expenses every month.

The daughter was married at that time and had a child. I can't drag her down anymore, I just let her take care of her own little home.

Seeing my son getting older every year, he is 30 years old and doesn't have a girlfriend yet, I am getting more and more anxious.

After the son graduated, he also had 10,000 yuan a month. A few years ago, he helped his family renovate the old house, but he couldn't live in the house if he didn't renovate it.

In the past few years, every time I get sick, my son pays for it. I really hate my unsatisfactory body.

Yes, if I am in good health, at least I can go out to work and help my son. Now, I became his drag.

Just when I was worried and anxious, my son suddenly called me and told me that he had found a girlfriend. The other party’s house was from the provincial capital and the conditions were good.

I said, that's pretty good. But my son stammered and told me that if he married this girl, he would have to be a son-in-law. This is what the woman’s parents asked for.

The son said that he loved that girl very much and wanted to be a son-in-law, but he was afraid that I would feel uncomfortable, so he asked me for my opinion.

I actually felt very uncomfortable and said I wanted to think about it.

That night, I couldn't sleep no matter how I lay in bed.

I know that it is not easy for my son. The housing prices in the provincial capital are very expensive. He has been renting a house. The little money left every month has to subsidize my life. There is not much left in recent years.

Finally, I figured it out, as long as my son thinks it is good, he can live a good life, and it’s nothing more to come to the son-in-law.

Because, I can’t give my son too much, he is also difficult alone, I understand it.

Early the next morning, I told my son, I agree, I just want him to be happy.

Next, my son arranged for me to go to the provincial capital to meet his girlfriend.

The girl named Xiaojia, her youngest son is 3 years old, she is very pretty and gentle, and I am very satisfied. I gave her a big red envelope.

The next day, my son arranged for me to meet Xiaojia’s parents.

My mother-in-law is very capable, and I heard that she is a strong woman. She told me, reassure me that after my son goes to their house, she will treat him as his own son.

However, she also made several requirements:

First, their first child, regardless of their children, must take the surname of the woman;

Second, when my son goes to their house, they will give me a 80,000 betrothal gift according to local customs;

Third, they will give the couple a dowry to a wedding house, and the woman's name is written in the house.

Fourth, all kinds of expenses for weddings are paid by their family.

In-law's mother said that if I had no objection, they would go to prepare for the wedding. I also asked me how many tables our relatives will need.

I have no objection to these, my mother-in-law arranged them very well.

80,000 yuan bride gift, my mother-in-law gave it to me on the spot.After dinner, I handed over to my son and told him to see the arrangements by himself.

Originally, all these expenses should be paid by my family, but my mother-in-law and the others gave them all, so I have nothing to say. As long as my son is happy, I can do anything.

After my son got married, he lived with his mother-in-law and the others. He often called and sent me gifts during the holidays. When he has time, he will bring his wife back to see me.

I found that my daughter-in-law Xiaojia was pretty good and not pretentious. She didn't despise me when I saw me living in the countryside. Every time I come back, Xiaojia either pays for me to buy furniture or buys home appliances and clothes. This wife is quite generous.

I am very grateful to my daughter-in-law, but she didn't expect her to say to me: Mom, Zhou Yu (my son) treats my parents as his biological parents, and I want to be nice to you too.

I also quietly asked my son, how did his mother-in-law and her family treat him? Because I heard that many son-in-law come to the house and have a hard time living at their mother-in-law's house. Although my family is not in good condition, I don’t want my son to be wronged.

Every time my son said, Mom, don’t worry, mother-in-law and the others are very nice to me and do not treat me as an outsider. They are nice to me, so I will naturally be nice to them.

I feel much more relieved when I hear my son say this.

My daughter also advised me, and my mother couldn't help but make me believe in my son. My daughter also said that since childhood, my son has never suffered any losses. What are I worried about?

Yeah, what am I worried about?

I only feel a little sorry for my husband. He is gone. His son becomes a son-in-law. In the future, his first child will have to be given the surname of the woman. I plan to explain to my husband a hundred years later, and I believe he can understand it.

1 In the late stage of pregnancy, my daughter-in-law suddenly got injured. He hid it from me.

Until that day, I called him a video and saw him wearing hospital clothes. I asked him, and he told me that there was a small car accident and it was fine.

But I was so scared that I wanted to see him. My son quickly said no.

Fortunately, I called him two days later and he was discharged from the hospital. I just felt relieved.

After the grandson was born, my son immediately reported the good news to me. I said I wanted to go and see it, but my son said that the child was in the confinement center. I would go there again when the full moon was full.

In recent years, I have saved 100 million from the money my son and daughter respected me. My daughter-in-law's family is not short of money, but I, a grandmother, cannot be unreasonable. I still have to give what I should give.

The grandson's full moon banquet, and my daughter took me to the provincial capital early in the morning. At that time, the daughter-in-law and grandson had already returned from the confinement center, and the mother-in-law also specially hired a nanny.

When I saw my grandson, I put the red envelope in his quilt and said that this is my wish as a grandmother.

Later, my daughter took my granddaughter downstairs, and my daughter-in-law pulled me into the room. She took out the child's birth certificate and showed me it. Only then did I realize that my grandson's surname was Zhou. I said, didn’t you agree that the child will take your surname?

At this time, the mother-in-law came over and she said that the first child was still the surname Zhou Yu. In recent years, Zhou Yu has been like my own son, and he hopes for anything at home. Last time he took me out for a meeting, and when he encountered danger on the way, he turned the steering wheel to him. I was intact, he was injured, but fortunately he was fine.

In-law, through this incident, I found that Zhou Yu is really good, and I feel relieved. As for whether we have surnames or not, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, it’s all my grandson and I can’t escape. What's more, Zhou Yu is by our side and he usually respects us more. You are alone in your hometown... So, we figured it out too.

I held my mother-in-law's hand, and my eyes were filled with tears and couldn't speak.

Later, Zhou Yu came in and said with a smile, "Two moms, I have to thank you, and thank my wife." Thank you for your support.

After the full moon banquet, my mother-in-law kept me in the provincial capital for a few more days and said that I would come here rarely once.

In fact, at the beginning, my mother-in-law saw me, her attitude was a bit arrogant, but now I find that she has really changed. It must be my son who really touched her.

and I am really relieved, I know they are really good to my son. As long as your son lives well, it doesn’t matter who his grandson has a surname.

However, my mother-in-law's approach still touched me.

Taotao said:

people are in the same way.

Zhou Yu moved his mother-in-law, and his mother-in-law also reciprocates and even changed the rules.

This made Zhou Yu and his mother feel comfortable, and they will only treat this mother-in-law better in the future.

The two families did not fight for their children’s surname, which was a very good ending.

I wish them happiness and joy!

If Zhou Yu was your son, would you agree to be his son-in-law? What do you think of your son-in-law?
