Grandma Dong is 60 years old this year, and her physical condition is getting worse and worse. In order to be able to spend her old age in peace, Grandma Dong found her two sons and told them that she decided to live with the family for a year in the future. The two sons don't have much opinion, but the eldest daughter-in-law is unhappy.
Grandma Dong knew that her eldest daughter-in-law was still holding grudges about her previous pregnancy, but she had no choice back then. Grandma Dong has two sons, the eldest son has a smart and flexible mind since he was a child, and his grades are among the best in his class. Later, when I was admitted to university, I was also admitted to the university and chose a good major.
The eldest son relied on his own ability to get out of the poor mountain village, and later met the eldest daughter-in-law while working in the city. The eldest daughter-in-law is from the city, and her family has a house in a first-tier city. also took a fancy to the eldest son's down-to-earth and capable, the eldest daughter-in-law got married, coupled with the support of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, the eldest son's family settled in the city and lived a very good life.
Compared with the happiness of the eldest son's family, the younger son's life is not so easy. The youngest son has been lively and active since he was a child, and his reading grades were not good, and he failed in the college entrance examination. In addition, there is an excellent big brother in the family, and the neighbors always like to compare the two children. The youngest son was not convinced and chose to repeat his studies.
But the results of repeating in the second year were still not very satisfactory, and after such a back-and-forth, the youngest son simply didn't want to study. After he finished repeating his studies, he chose to drop out of school and work. The young man just came out of the society and didn't know what to do, but later Grandma Dong asked someone to find a relationship and sent the younger son to work on the construction site, which also laid the foundation that the living conditions of the younger son would not be too good in the future.
Later, the two sons married one after another. The eldest daughter-in-law lives in the city and lacks nothing, and the younger daughter-in-law lives with the younger son in a rental house near the construction site. After that, the two daughters-in-law also became pregnant one after another, and it was precisely because of the pregnancy that the eldest daughter-in-law kept holding a grudge against it.
At that time, the eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant, but she also had work to do in the city and needed to support her family. Before giving birth, the eldest son asked Grandma Dong to help take care of him, and then helped bring down his grandson by the way. But Grandma Dong found a reason to refuse, and the eldest daughter-in-law had no choice but to go home and find her parents for help to solve her urgent need.
Later, after the eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson, Grandma Dong went to the city to take a look. I also brought five old hens that had been killed to my daughter-in-law to mend her body, and I didn't stay too long, and after staying for two or three days, I hurriedly said that I still had work to do and returned to my hometown in advance.
The eldest daughter-in-law thought that her mother-in-law wanted to go back to work on the farm, so she didn't force her to stay. But later, she accidentally learned from her relatives that when Grandma Dong was serving her pregnant daughter-in-law in her hometown at this time, she was furious. That night, he lost his temper with his eldest son: "I asked your mother to come over to take care of my confinement, and I said that I wouldn't come at all." As a result, as soon as my brother and daughter-in-law got pregnant, she went faster than anyone else!What the hell does she mean!”
The eldest son knew about the situation of his younger brother's family, and persuaded his daughter-in-law: "You also know the situation of my brother's family, he works on the construction site, and he has no time to take care of his younger brother-in-law, and it is natural for his mother to go in the past." ”
But the eldest daughter-in-law can listen to persuasion, and she takes this matter to heart and holds a grudge against Grandma Dong. Especially later, Grandma Dong helped her younger daughter-in-law take care of her younger grandson for 18 years, which made the eldest daughter-in-law even more concerned about it.
But Grandma Dong has no choice, her two sons, the gap between the rich and the poor is too big. If she doesn't help her younger son take care of her grandchildren, her daughter-in-law can't go out to work. If the youngest son works at home alone to make money, the family's income will decrease, and the youngest son's salary will not be able to support the family at all.
And Grandma Dong can't bear to watch her youngest son's family continue to be poor, if the youngest grandson has no money to study, repeating the fate of his parents' generation, this is the greatest sorrow. It is precisely because of these reasons that Grandma Dong can only choose to help her youngest son's family.
Fortunately, the youngest grandson is also competitive, and his reading results have been among the best over the years, and he was later admitted to a double-first-class university. At present, he is also working in a state-owned enterprise, with an annual salary of more than 200,000 yuan, and he will be able to live a good life on his own in the future. All of this is thanks to Grandma Dong, if it weren't for her efforts, I'm afraid that the younger son and his wife might not be able to train college students.
Now Grandma Dong wants the family to live in turns for a year, and the eldest daughter-in-law said unceremoniously"Mom, you have to be a man with your conscience. You didn't help me back then, and I was your daughter-in-law, not your daughter.
If you want to be honored, you can find your brother-in-law, after all, you have helped her raise a child for 18 years. Unlike when I was pregnant, you didn't serve me in confinement, so you gave me 5 old hens, looked at your grandson, and didn't take a few days, why do you want me to take care of you now?”
Grandma Dong was at a loss, and she couldn't say anything to refute it. This eldest daughter-in-law's family has always been helping to manage it. In the past few years, the father-in-law and mother-in-law have gradually deteriorated, and the eldest son is honoring them, treating them as if they were the old people in their own family. Therefore, the eldest daughter-in-law is even more reluctant to let Grandma Dong go to her own home to care for the elderly.
For the sake of Grandma Dong's pension, the two sons' families quarreled fiercely. Especially the eldest daughter-in-law, she simply wants to spread all the fire over the years.
Grandma Dong had no choice but to apologize to her daughter-in-law: "Eldest daughter-in-law, I know you think it's unfair, and I'm really sorry for you." But I didn't have a choice!I'm a mom, but I have two sons, and I want everyone to be okay more than anyone else. But at that time, I had no choice but to help my younger son's family, which was more difficult. ”
Grandma Dong's words calmed down the eldest daughter-in-law's mood a little, and at this time, the younger daughter-in-law said on the side: "Sister-in-law, I know that I have wronged you all these years. I'll admit that Mom has helped me the most over the years. She helped me raise the child and trained him to go to college, I should repay this great kindness, and my mother will live with us in the future, and we will be responsible for her pension. ”
When the eldest daughter-in-law heard her brother-in-law say this, her face softened a lot. Immediately afterwards, the younger brother-in-law said: "But, sister-in-law, although my mother didn't help you, but she raised her eldest brother and became a son, and she should still be filial." In the future, we will take care of my mother for the elderly, and your family will pay alimony. ”
Because a reasonable brother and daughter-in-law proposed a solution, the two families finally reached an agreement. From now on, Grandma Dong lives with her youngest son's family, and the eldest son's family gives 30,000 yuan a year for living expenses, so she will come to visit when she has time.
