I firmly believe that every woman has a beautiful vision of married life, and the expectation is as sweet as love. I'm no exception.
However, on the third day of my wedding, my dream was ruined.
My name is Li Mingyu, 30 years old, my husband is Lin Weiguo, 32 years old, we met on a blind date.
Although the process of getting married is complicated, I have always been in a good mood.
At noon that day, we had just returned to the bridal room from my mother's house and found that my eldest sister Lin Shu was already standing at the door waiting, apparently she had been waiting for us.
Sister, why don't you give us a **?How long have you been waiting outside?"Lin Weiguo asked while greeting.
It's only ten minutes, I guess you're supposed to be back soon, so you didn't hit **. When I asked you to give me a key, you didn't agree. "Lin Shu complained as she walked into the house.
I wanted to say something, but I swallowed it back.
After entering the house, Lin Shu turned around in each room and said with emotion: "Look at your decoration, you have spent a lot of money, right?"”
Lin Weiguo poured her a glass of water, and said, "Sister, you also know the cost of renovating the house, and the budget is only a lot more." However, after spending more than 100,000 yuan, we feel quite satisfied. ”
Being rich is different. Our house is almost 10 years old, and it should have been renovated a long time ago, but there is no money. I can only do it. "Lin Shu took a sip of water and said.
Mingyu, if you marry my brother, then we will be a family. You are now the income of two people, so transfer 4,000 yuan to me on the first of every month. "After Lin Shu finished speaking, a smile bloomed on her face.
I was stunned and looked at Lin Weiguo puzzled.
He scratched his head with his right hand and said, "I gave my sister 2,000 yuan a month since I started working." ”
When I heard this, my heart was filled with anger. After taking a deep breath, I said, "Sister, I don't know about this. Moreover, Wei Guo is now married, and there are many places to spend money. You, as an older sister, should understand him. Besides, you and your brother-in-law have hands and feet, and it is not a problem to support yourself. ”
What do you say?Just got married and treated me like this, and it's not your turn to call the shots in this family. "When Lin Shu heard this, she immediately stood up and pointed at me.
I'm sorry, of course my home is my decision. You are the sister of the country, you come, I welcome. However, there is no money to ask for!"I stood up and said slowly.
Wei Guo, have you forgotten how you went to college?Forget how much I suffered for you?Now that I have a wife, I don't care about your sister?"After Lin Shu finished speaking, she really cried.
Sister, sister, don't cry, there is something to discuss. "Lin Weiguo handed her a tissue and comforted.
Husband, we still have friends to have dinner in the evening, and there is a lot of preparation work in the afternoon. "I glanced at Lin Weiguo.
Sister, our friends helped a lot at the wedding, and I would like to express my gratitude. Do you want to go along?Lin Weiguo said to Lin Shu.
I'm not going, I don't even know your friends. Weiguo, today is the 1st, don't forget to transfer money. "Lin Shu said angrily and left.
A year ago, through a friend's introduction, I met Lin Weiguo. He is an excellent programmer who graduated from a prestigious school, has a high salary in a company, and earns more than 10,000 yuan per month.
There is a touching story hidden behind Lin Weiguo's life. He lost both parents when he was 10 years old, and his sister Lin Shu was 8 years older than him and became his pillar.
In order to provide for Lin Weiguo to study, Lin Shu dropped out of school in his sophomore year of high school to become a restaurant waiter, and worked hard for him. She has been through a variety of hardships, including some unbearable jobs.
Lin Weiguo excelled in his grades and was at the top of every exam. With Lin Shu's support, he not only got into an excellent university, but also found a satisfying job.
Lin Shu's marriage choice was relatively ordinary, marrying a truck driver. Since her brother-in-law often works outside the home, everything in the family is handled by Lin Shu.
I was deeply in awe when I heard this story. Lin Weiguo has said many times that without his sister Lin Shu, he would not have his current achievements, so he hopes to repay her.
No matter what Lin Shu asked, Lin Weiguo did not hesitate to meet her. His generosity was not only reflected in providing his nephews with superior Xi conditions, but also in giving gifts to others and paying for expensive tutoring.
Lin Weiguo is usually more frugal with himself, his clothes are almost fixed, and he always chooses the most economical dishes on the table.
He started working in high school and expanded his side hustle after graduating from college. He knows that it is not easy to make money, and he can better understand Lin Shu's hard work back then.
Although Lin Weiguo was generous to Lin Shu, he was very restrained to himself. This quality of gratitude is touching, and his actions have aroused the admiration and emotion of many people.
This touching story of the siblings touched everyone who heard it.
After Lin Shu left, Lin Weiguo said to me: "My sister has not had a good time these years, if it weren't for me, she could have gone to college and found a good partner." She has a lot of possibilities, and it won't be what she is now. ”
He had a look of guilt on his face, which made me feel a little disgusted for his kindness for the first time.
Your sister has done a lot for you, but now you are married and have your own little family to take care of. It is no longer a matter of one person having enough to eat, and the whole family is no longer hungry. I tried to enlighten him. ”
I can't leave her alone, she's been suffering all her life because of me. After Lin Weiguo finished speaking, he covered his face with his hands and lowered his head.
Don't think like that, everyone has their own life. I comforted him.
Wife, the two of us have a much higher salary than my brother-in-law. It was really difficult for him to feed a large family by himself. We give them 4,000 yuan a month, which has little impact on our lives. Lin Weiguo raised his head, his face full of anticipation.
No, if we say yes, we may not be able to afford it. "I am categorically against it.
This is what I owe my sister, and if I don't pay it back, I'm upset. After Lin Weiguo finished speaking, he sighed.
Weiguo, we have a monthly mortgage of 5,000, a car loan of 2,000, plus at least 3,000 living expenses, a total of 10,000 yuan. If you have children, the cost is even greater. What if we say yes now and don't give it later?"I did the analysis.
I will work hard to earn money and increase my income. Lin Weiguo patted his chest and said.
Now that we have a home, we have to start saving. If there is an emergency at home, you also need to have savings to deal with it. What if we say yes now and can't give it later?I shook his hand and gave him encouragement.
However, if I don't give it, I'm afraid my sister will blame me. Lin Weiguo said cautiously.
Then it's up to me to take responsibility for this 'bad guy'. You give me your salary card for safekeeping, how can you give it if you don't have money?Let her come to me. It's not that we don't care about her, it's just that we can't give money every month like we used to. I explained.
Isn't handing over the money to you the same as handing it over to my sister, it's all a family?Lin Weiguo asked with some puzzlement.
To help a person, we want to let her have the ability to be independent, not to make her overly dependent on us. I said.
A few days later, on the way home from work, Lin Shu was found waiting at the door of the unit. I just wanted to say hello in a friendly way, but I didn't expect her to suddenly erupt and scold me loudly: "You vixen, you are really shameless!."It's because of you that my brother treats me coldly. ”
She looks like she is asking for money, more than a professional beggar. I was dissatisfied: "Why?”
Wei Guo has been completely manipulated by you all these years, always using the past as an excuse to preach. You have hands and feet, why don't you work hard to earn money on your own, and you have to rely on your brother?I retorted.
My brother willingly, you're a bad woman. I just got married, and I won't let him care about me, and sooner or later you'll be struck by lightning!Lin Shu pointed at me, unobtrusive.
You're dozens of years old, and you even reached out to your brother to ask for money. Have you thought about living his life?Any idea of our monthly financial pressures?We make money, why should we spend it on you?Can't you work anymore?He doesn't care about you for you, but for the whole family. How much money have you taken from him over the years, don't you count it in your heart?I didn't even force you to pay it back, you should be grateful. I replied.
This is a private matter of our brother and sister, and you, an outsider, don't understand it at all. If you don't transfer money to me, I'll go to your unit to make trouble and see who is embarrassed. Lin Shu threatened.
If you go to make trouble, I'm not afraid, I want everyone to judge fairly, who is justified in the end!I've heard of gnawing the old, but it's the first time I've nibbled my brother. I'm not afraid at all, she will make trouble wherever she falls in love. I responded calmly.
At this time, several neighbors were attracted by the noise.
Lin Shu instantly sat on the ground and complained loudly: "Look at it, after this woman married my brother, she took his salary card and didn't give us a penny." It's a dominatrix. ”
When the neighbors heard this, they began to point fingers at me.
Neighbors, my eldest sister, actually asked us to give her 4,000 yuan a month, and she didn't have to do anything. Is there such a good thing in this world?Her parents can't give her so much every month, she's a vampire. "I blamed Lin Shu.
The neighbors began to reproach Lin Shu for being ignorant. If you are married, you should not interfere too much in your brother's life.
Suddenly, Lin Shu stood up and lunged at me, trying to hit me. I ducked away, but she grabbed my clothes and we scuffled together.
At this moment, Lin Weiguo came back. Looking at my messy hair and scratched face, and then looking at Lin Shu, who was embarrassed, he suddenly held his head, squatted on the ground, and pulled his hair.
Lin Shu and I glared at each other and went home.
Lin Weiguo repeatedly persuaded me and suggested that I cater to Lin Shu's wishes. He thinks that giving 4,000 yuan a month is enough, after all, the family is like this, so that outsiders will make fun of it.
I casually threw away the cotton swab in my hand, unhappy. She actually begged us for money, and she was right. If it weren't for what happened today, maybe I would have thought about it. However, now that it has happened, I will never compromise. I won't give her a penny now.
Lin Weiguo asked me to think about it for him, if he ignored Lin Shu, he would become the object of everyone's spurning in front of all his relatives. But, how could I like him like this?
Lin Shu is like a bottomless pit, if I give in this time, future problems will continue to emerge. The money is in our hands, and it is up to us to decide whether to give it or not, no matter how she makes trouble, I decided not to give it, and see how she can react.
She asks for money as if we owe her. The crux of the matter is, how much does it take to pay off such a favor?
The next day, the brother-in-law came to apologize. Seeing the wound on my face, he kept apologizing and begging me not to be angry with Lin Shu, because she was just a straightforward person.
I told my brother-in-law that I couldn't do what Lin Shu asked her to give her 4,000 yuan a month. It's not that we don't care about her, but now that we have a small family of our own, our expenses have become larger. If you need help, we're here to help.
The brother-in-law said embarrassedly that he was to blame for his lack of ability, which caused Lin Shu to live a hard life with him.
I saw through the routine of these two people, one sang with a white face and the other with a red face.
I suggest that Lin Weiguo find someone to help her find a job, so that she can earn money and be busy with her own affairs, so she won't have so much time to bother you.
Lin Weiguo said that he had looked for a job before, but his sister always stopped doing it for a few days. The reason is either too tired or there is no time to take care of the children.
I had an idea and said, isn't your cousin doing self-** operations?Let her teach your sister, after all, your sister has been a housewife for so many years, and her cooking skills are not bad. Let her teach others to cook, not only to earn money, but also to take care of the children.
Lin Weiguo thought about it for a while and promised to give it a try.
A year later, Lin Shu came to my house as a guest. At present, her fans have reached 50,000 on the whole network, and the daily income is enough to cover the living expenses of the whole family. In the early stages of self-a**, she was assisted by her cousin to take care of the filming and operation, and everything in the later stage was controlled by her alone.
Of course, in order to persuade his cousin to assist, Lin Weiguo generously paid her 5,000 yuan as a hardship fee, and he also funded the purchase of the equipment needed for the early stage.
Now, Lin Shu can hardly break away from her fan base, and she always doesn't forget to promote her social accounts when she meets everyone. Sometimes, she also skillfully included the elderly and children in the family, and successfully increased the amount.
Of course, we have also shaken hands and made peace, eliminating all previous contradictions.
She expressed to me that the money she earns is spent by herself, and this feeling of autonomy is really amazing!
Of course, her benefits are also directly related to my happiness.
