My name is Lin Jia, I am 28 years old and I am an ordinary office worker. After the divorce, I was always looked down upon by my mother-in-law, but I didn't expect that 3 years later, my mother-in-law took the initiative to find me, and the reason made me unbelievable.
I was born in an ordinary working family, my parents were busy working to support the family, and no one took care of me since I was a child. When I grew up, I was admitted to university and found a stable job after graduation. When I was 25 years old, I met my husband Zhao Min through a blind date, and we soon entered the palace of marriage.
Married life should be happy and happy, but my parents-in-law often make trouble unreasonably and dictate to me. I swallowed my anger and been a good daughter-in-law for 3 years, but their demanding demands seemed endless. My husband is in a high-pressure work environment, and he seems to be even more indifferent to these family chores.
In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore and divorced my husband. When my mother-in-law learned about it, she looked down on me, a "three-minute hot woman". After the divorce, I rented a house by myself, which was very Xi at first, but gradually adapted to living alone. One day, my mother-in-law suddenly called** and politely said that she wanted to come to my house to sit and meet my newly rented house. I was surprised, but I cleaned up and waited for her arrival.
Soon we were in my newly rented neighborhood. This is an old-fashioned two-bedroom apartment with a total of about 50 square meters. I was suddenly a little nervous, for fear that my mother-in-law would not be able to look at me. But after the mother-in-law entered the door, she looked around with a smile on her face and exclaimed, "Jiajia, the house you rented is really good, small and very warm." I breathed a sigh of relief and let my mother-in-law rest in the living room while I went to prepare the fruit.
Mother-in-law, please eat fruit. Have you been in good health for the past few years?"I greeted my mother-in-law with some restraint.
I'm in good health, but I'm sick. While eating grapes, the mother-in-law said with a smile, "Jiajia, are you still Xi to living by yourself after the divorce?"”
I didn't get Xi used to it at first, but now it's fine. I replied briefly.
Actually, we looked down on you at the beginning, but we were wrong. My mother-in-law's words surprised me a little, "You are a good girl, it is not easy to take care of your own life." ”
I was very surprised by my mother-in-law's words, and I even suspected that I had heard it wrong. This is somewhat inconsistent with the image of my mother-in-law who has always been harsh and picky and looks down on me. I was very entangled in my heart, I don't know if she suddenly discovered her conscience?Or is it an ulterior motive?How could this mother-in-law, who has always been quite unreasonable to me, suddenly change her sex and become so amiable?
Just when I was confused, my mother-in-law opened her mouth and said the real purpose: "Jiajia, in fact, I came this time, mainly to inquire, you are usually working in **?"”
I was surprised and asked, "Mother-in-law, why are you asking this?"”
The mother-in-law showed a sly smile on her face and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious, I heard that you rented a house by yourself, how come you have money to rent a house for dinner every month?"”
You bought a house?!When did you buy it?How much is a square meter?How many square meters?My mother-in-law continued to ask questions in surprise, staring at me with a look of disbelief. I calmly told her that I had saved enough for a down payment to buy a two-bedroom apartment of 1.1 million. Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law's eyes immediately became hot, full of admiration and envy.
Looking at my mother-in-law's unusually eager appearance, I couldn't help but laugh at her hypocrisy. It turned out that she still attached so much importance to money and status, and as soon as she heard that I was buying a house, she immediately changed her face. Maybe she thinks she's lost sight and thinks that a divorced woman can't afford to buy a house. The way she looks makes me despise!
Mother-in-law, what is there not to believe?If you want to see the house, I can show you around. I said helplessly. The mother-in-law said that she wanted to go to the new house to find out. I saw that she was bent on inquiring the truth, so I took her to her new home half-pushing. On the way, my mother-in-law chirped and talked non-stop, I was too lazy to take care of it, I just hoped that she could leave as soon as possible after seeing the room.
I said in my heart, you know that you are wrong?Seeing that I was silent, my mother-in-law continued: "Son, he still thinks about you very much. Otherwise, you can get back together, and I promise not to meddle in your household affairs again!”
Mother-in-law, my relationship with your son has long been broken, and it is impossible to get back together. I resolutely refused.
I shook off my mother-in-law's hand and said in a resolute tone: "No need for mother-in-law, I'm doing well by myself!."Your son, I will never look back. Please come back, I have something to do!”
I'll stay with you for a few days and see how you're doing alone!"My mother-in-law stayed at my house and refused to leave. I'm in a dilemma, after all, it's not convenient for the elderly to come here alone. After thinking about it, I still agreed to let my mother-in-law stay at my house for a few days. The appearance of my mother-in-law's success made me very bitter.
After my mother-in-law stayed at my house, she kept an eye on my every move. She found that I cooked my own meals every day, and the dishes were very varied. After eating a few meals, she was no longer picky, but sighed: "I didn't expect you to cook so many dishes, and your skills are not bad!."”
I gave a cold "hmm" and went about my business. My mother-in-law also found out that I can repair electrical appliances, tidy up flowers and plants, and I can solve the chores at home by myself. When she saw that I was taking care of myself, her face was obviously a little ugly, but she couldn't find fault with me.
In this way, my mother-in-law stayed at my house for more than a week. During this time, she tried to curry favor with me, expressing her intention to move in with me for a long time, but I coldly refused. Finally, today she said that she was leaving to find her classmates. Relieved, I put her in the car and watched her go without hesitation. I'm finally at ease again!
When I slept at night, I felt a faint sense of loss in my heart. Maybe after years of hypocritical married life, I crave the truth too much. Forget it, the reality is like this, my mind has long been Xi to being alone. Don't rely on it, don't ask for happiness, such a plain and simple life is the best!
