My husband and I have been married for ten years, and my husband used to work outside the home, and the income was not very high. Now that the children are about to go to elementary school, the family of four is finally reunited in the city. The houses in the city are so expensive that our family still lives in rented houses. On this day, my husband suddenly asked me, "Wife, where do you put the passbook at home?"”
My heart thumped, and I hurried back to my room to see if there were any signs of churning. My husband wants to see the passbook, has he discovered my secret?I suppressed the panic in my heart and pretended to be very calm and asked, "Why do you suddenly want a passbook?"Do you want money?”
The husband said that he was going to buy electricity for his sister, the sister-in-law was getting married, the man bought a house, and the sister-in-law planned to borrow money to buy some household appliances. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. I wanted to prevaricate first, so I said, "Wait for the weekend, I'll accompany you to pick it." ”
My husband was glad that I was interested in my sister, but I didn't dare to look him in the eyes. Because my husband didn't go today, in the evening, my sister-in-law hurriedly came to the house and scolded her husband for letting her pigeon go, and she had to buy electricity immediately, she said that the man had an opinion.
I hurriedly persuaded my sister-in-law: "Your brother doesn't know much about household appliances or anything, so it's useless to let him go!."I'll accompany you to pick it up on the weekend, okay?The sister-in-law was relieved at this time, leaving her husband to apologize to her constantly. I breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly wanted to think of a way to avoid revealing my stuffing when I got it.
In fact, I was forced to use our hard-earned money privately. My husband and I have been frugal for all these years of marriage, and it was not easy for me to save this money. I wanted to buy my own small house, but my mother suddenly said that she wanted 200,000 yuan, and she cried and promised to pay me back soon. Although I was puzzled, I still couldn't bear to ignore it, so I lent it to her as soon as my heart softened.
Two months have passed, and I have urged it several times, but my mother is only vague. I couldn't help it a while ago, so I went to my mother's house to ask, and then I realized that it was to pay off my brother's debt. My brother failed in business and owed more than 100,000 yuan, and he was going to fight a lawsuit with my brother over there, and my mother was worried that he would be sentenced, so she cried and begged me to pay off the debt for him.
I was also anxious at the time, for fear that my brother would go to prison. Now that I think about it, I'm really stupid, knowing that my brother is a spendthrift, and if I help him once, he will definitely develop a dependency mentality. Sure enough, I paid off the debt for him, and he continued to eat, drink and have fun with the rest of the money, squandering all my hard-earned money!
My mom looked angry and started crying again, saying that it was hard for me to be caught in the middle. I ignored it and went straight to my brother to settle the score. When I finally found my brother and forced him to pay off the money he owed me, my brother looked like he didn't want to kill me if he wanted money, and I really had no choice.
The matter was finally exposed, and the husband had already turned the passbook out of the cabinet. His face was pale, his hands were clenched into fists, and he glared at me angrily: "How come we have a few thousand dollars left in our savings?!Where did you hide your money?!”
My heart went to my throat. My husband found out earlier than I expected, and I didn't have time to remedy it. I tried to calm my mind and calmly tell my husband the truth. Unexpectedly, one of his glasses fell to the ground with a "bang", and the fragments flew everywhere.
200,000 dollars!Just gone?!Don't you feel distressed, do you know how hard I've been out there all these years?I don't even want to eat meat!My husband asked me angrily.
I hurriedly held my husband down, for fear that he would do something impulsive to hurt himself. "Calm down, husband, didn't I save my brother, I was also helpless I choked up and continued to tell about helping my brother pay off his debts at that time.
The husband sat back on the sofa heavily, holding his head in his hands, and lost his mind. I know that he has been silently paying with our small family, but I didn't expect that I would defeat his hard work alone.
Hey!Forget it, I don't blame you now. After a long time, my husband raised his head and said to me with red eyes, "I'll go to your brother now, I have to recover this money!."”
I hurriedly stopped my husband and took out the real estate certificate in my mother's name: "You calm down!."I didn't lend the money for nothing, I kept it in my hands, and my mother's house had already been transferred to me. ”
The husband took the real estate certificate and gradually calmed down. Yes, I also knew at the beginning that with my brother's character, most of the money was wasted. So I put forward strict conditions to my mother, I must transfer the only house in her name to me before I can lend the money.
My husband's mood also calmed down a little. He sighed heavily: "I'm unlucky to have such a thing." We can't always rent a house to live in, so it's a fuss, when can we buy a house? ”
I walked over and held my husband's hand: "I understand your feelings, it's me who is not good." I was also confused, and I apologize to you. ”
My husband gave me a blank look: "What's the use of saying this?."If it weren't for your brother's fault, we wouldn't be like this!I smiled and continued to coax my husband, but I knew in my heart that his resentment against my brother would probably not be able to dissipate for a long time.
Since the last time I hid about helping my brother pay off his debts, there has always been a bit of a gap between me and my husband. My husband's salary is no longer for me to save, and he will handle any big expenses by himself. I knew that deep down he blamed me, and it made me feel very guilty.
It wasn't until one day when my husband came home from drinking too much that I learned that he often went to the balcony late at night to smoke and was heartbroken for the 200,000 yuan. I hurriedly stepped forward and hugged my husband in my arms and cried bitterly with him.
I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I shouldn't hide it from you about the big things in the family. I choked up and apologized to my husband again.
My husband told his sadness with red eyes: "It's not easy for you, I know everything about your family." It's just that this money is so important to us, seeing that the child is so old, he has to rent a house with us!”
I couldn't agree more. Indeed, my husband and I have saved our savings from part-time jobs over the years just to buy our own house in the future. Now that the money is gone, I don't know how long it will take to realize my wish to buy a house!
We'll definitely earn it back!I stroked my husband's back and said, "In the future, I will definitely discuss with you about major family affairs, and I will never make decisions alone." I'm working two jobs now, and we'll be there soon!”
My husband hugged me tightly, tears soaking through my clothes. The grievances of these years turned into two lines of tears at this moment, sprinkled in our hearts. I finally understood a truth: in the face of family problems, we should not easily intervene to help. Because it may not only harm our families, but also end up harming ourselves.
