The 3,000 yuan skirt made her mother-in-law angry
Tingting sits at the dresser and tidies herself up for the upcoming class reunion.
In this city, Tingting does not have many classmates. They usually get together once a year, after all, everyone has just graduated. Some are married, some are single. Sometimes, such gatherings can also involve some new feelings.
Tingting hadn't attended such a gathering for two years. On the one hand, it was because she was married and felt that it was a bit troublesome to participate. On the other hand, she didn't want her husband to think too much because he was a delicate person and was very sensitive to Tingting's contact with other men.
Tingting has always regarded her husband's careful thinking as a sign of love. She thinks it's her husband's love for her and his care for her.
This time, Tingting was going to the party because a very good roommate from college came back from out of town, and she called Tingting and said that she wanted to meet.
Tingting couldn't refuse, so she had to tell her husband that she was going to this party. The husband reluctantly agreed, Tingting looked at his expression, happily ran over and hugged him and said, "Thank you so well!."”
For this party, Tingting deliberately went to the mall to pick out a skirt. However, she chose a discounted skirt, which cost more than 3,000 yuan after discounting.
It's not because Tingting cares about face, but because she can't find a suitable dress in her entire wardrobe.
Tingting usually wears ** to work, and wears comfortable home clothes after work. Since getting married during this time, her mother-in-law has always tried to ask them for money, so her life is a little tight.
But Tingting is a person who would rather lack than excess. She wouldn't buy it if she didn't have to. But if she wants to buy it, she will pick *** things. For clothes, Tingting felt that she would rather buy a *** piece to wear for a few years, rather than spend money on those cheap clothes, which would deform after one or two wears, and then stop wearing them, and finally the wardrobe was full of clothes that she didn't wear.
For this dress, Tingting is very satisfied. A light blue dress with a simple belt looks casual and simple, and it accentuates the complexion.
Tingting didn't expect that because of this skirt, her mother-in-law was dissatisfied.
Tingting was ready to go, and came out of the bathroom in good spirits, carrying a pink bag. As soon as I stepped into the living room, I met my mother-in-law who came out with a vegetable bowl.
Dressed like this, where are you going?The mother-in-law glanced at Tingting and asked.
Tingting listened to her mother-in-law's words and was a little displeased: "Mom, why do you say that?"I'm going to the party. ”
Parties?I don't see it, it's more like going to the market. The mother-in-law raised her eyebrows and looked at Tingting, her tone a little displeased.
Mom, what do you say?Tingting's interest was suddenly ruined by her mother-in-law's words.
What do I say, you ask?Now that life at home is so tight, you spend so much money to buy a skirt, it's a loser!The mother-in-law angrily rebuked.
There is a reason for my mother-in-law's words. She has a habit of rummaging through Tingting's things. That day, she saw Tingting coming back with her bag, so she followed her, and when she saw Tingting put her bag in the bedroom, she went to the bathroom to take a shower.
So, she opened Tingting's bag and began to search, and found a blue dress. The mother-in-law looked at the ** on the label and couldn't help but be angry.
She first complained to her son out of breath, blaming him for not caring about Tingting, how could he allow her to spend so much money.
When Zhiyuan heard his mother say this, he raised his head: "Mom, she spends her money, what does it matter to me." ”
Nonsense, she is married to you, her money is your money, and her business is your business. The mother-in-law looked at her son and felt angry and angry.
The son's indifferent attitude made the mother-in-law even more anxious, and she was very dissatisfied with her son's inaction.
During this time, Tingting's mother-in-law has been worried that her son will be suppressed by Tingting. She knew that her son had a weak temper and was afraid that he would be wronged. Therefore, she often comes to live with her son, hoping to control the situation at home and not let Tingting dominate.
Tingting was taking a shower in the bathroom and didn't hear their conversation at all.
Tingting's mother-in-law is a strong-willed person who always likes to be in control. Especially when it comes to marriage, she has always had her own ideas. When her mother-in-law got married, her mother told her that when she went to her mother-in-law's house, she must put her towel on top of her husband's, which meant suppressing him.
What she is most worried about is that her son is suppressed by Tingting. She understands her son's weak personality and is worried that he will be bullied by his daughter-in-law. For this reason, she often comes to live at her son's house, trying to sway her son's position and not let Tingting be too strong.
Now, Tingting was about to go out to the party, and her mother-in-law immediately stopped her.
When Tingting tried to make her way through the living room to the party, her mother-in-law's voice resounded throughout the room. "Wait, this matter hasn't been settled yet. Her voice was defiant.
Mom, I'm really not that loser, I bought this dress when it was on sale, but it's actually not that expensive. Tingting tried to explain, but her mother-in-law obviously misunderstood.
You're talking!I won't believe your excuses. Discounts?I'm not going to be fooled. The mother-in-law directly interrupted her defense.
Tingting looked at her mother-in-law's stubborn expression, knowing that no matter how much she argued, it would be useless. She had said in private that her mother-in-law was a bit obsessive-compulsive, and if she continued to dwell on it now, it would only be a waste of time.
Tingting, who decided to give up the argument, was about to leave, but when she reached the door, her mother-in-law chased after her. "Did you hear what I said?You can't go to that party today!Haven't you heard that those parties are either to show off their wealth or purely to reunite their first love? ”
Mom, what are you talking about?Tingting asked puzzled.
I'm telling you, you can't go to that meeting today, and this dress has to be returned. Don't you know the current difficulties of our family?Spend so much money on a dress!The mother-in-law insisted.
This skirt was bought when it was on sale, and the mall does not return it. "Tingting tried to explain.
Nonsense, give me the invoice, and I'll return it. I don't believe it, I bought things with real money, and they won't give me back. "Mother-in-law is resolute.
Tingting looked at her mother-in-law and shook her head helplessly. She gave up the idea of arguing, time was running out, and it would not be good to be late.
When Tingting changed her shoes and was about to open the door, her mother-in-law suddenly rushed over, "If you don't return this dress, don't want to walk out of this door." ”
Mother-in-law Lihua has always been a strong person with her own principles of life. She has explained to her son many times that she must control her daughter-in-law at home, and she must not be allowed to dictate at home.
Seeing that her son is not angry, she now has to compete with Tingting. She firmly believes that if she can't get Tingting to return this dress, it will be equivalent to her losing.
Tingting is kind by nature and has always given in, thinking that it is meaningless to worry about her elders. But for her mother-in-law, if she has no opponent, she thinks she has the upper hand.
Tingting thought that her mother-in-law was not a permanent resident, so why not let her take advantage of it, family harmony was the most important.
However, Tingting did not expect that her concession would only be exchanged for a more aggressive attitude from her mother-in-law. Now, she was forcibly stopped at home and couldn't go out.
If she is also as tough as her mother-in-law, won't the family be noisy every day?
But the current situation made her helpless, so she could only back down step by step, and in exchange for her mother-in-law becoming more and more tough.
Ting was stopped there by her mother-in-law, and she tried to get her husband to come over to solve it, but her husband just put on his headphones and ignored it. Zhiyuan had actually seen it, but he didn't want to argue with his mother. He was a little worried that Tingting would feel that she had a low income after attending the party. The mother-in-law asked her son to listen to her, and even pulled Tingting's clothes. Tingting angrily solved it herself, threw down her clothes and asked her mother-in-law to return them. She burst into tears when she left, reminiscing about her married life with Zhiyuan.
Tingting was initially attracted by Zhiyuan's refreshing appearance and literary brilliance, but after marriage, she found that her mother-in-law controlled Zhiyuan's economy. She tried to get Zhiyuan's salary card back, but Zhiyuan's negative attitude made Tingting feel angry and disappointed. Their family is under pressure from a mortgage and living expenses, and Tingting hopes that Zhiyuan can share the responsibility, but Zhiyuan is hesitant. The mother-in-law interfered one after another, accusing Tingting of provoking their relationship, and calling her a loser.
Tingting was a little surprised when she heard her mother-in-law's words. She wondered in her heart, even if she had a lot of money, would she have to spend all her money, and her husband would not have a penny?
This thought made Tingting angry: "Even if I have enough money, shouldn't he give a little?"Isn't marriage a shared responsibility?”
How unreasonable!Not long after we got married, I have to listen to you talk like this, it's really unreasonable!The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and she eventually fell to the ground.
This scene frightened Tingting and hurriedly sent her mother-in-law to the hospital. But as soon as Zhiyuan saw his mother sick in bed, he blamed Tingting and accused her unabashedly. The sister-in-law also exuded displeasure on the side, accusing Tingting of daring to provoke her knowing that her mother-in-law was in poor health, and if something happened to her mother, she would be responsible.
Tingting was originally furious, but when she saw her mother-in-law like this, she could only swallow her anger. In the end, she didn't even ask for her husband's salary card back, but took care of her mother-in-law in the hospital for a few days. She took the trouble to apologize to her mother-in-law, although it took a long morning to apologize, and finally won her mother-in-law's understanding.
During this period of time, Tingting has always been haunted in her heart: What the hell is going on?Am I wrong?Shouldn't I get my husband's salary card back?
After soothing her feelings, Tingting secretly congratulated her husband that she finally took back her salary card. Her previous life was difficult, and her father's illness required a large amount of medical expenses, which made her feel unprecedented pressure.
As the youngest daughter of the family, Tingting has always been cared for and has never had the experience of working for the family. Although she now has a job income, her parents have never spoken to her.
Seeing that her father was seriously ill and needed to spend a lot of medical expenses, Tingting felt deeply guilty and helpless. She realized that she had neglected and cared for her parents in the past, and that if her father could not survive this danger, it would be irreparable remorse.
Despite the pressure, Tingting resolutely took out all her savings to pay for her father's hospitalization. During this time, she felt heavy psychological pressure.
Although she felt a little relieved to have her husband's salary card, this respite was only short-lived. Suddenly, the mother-in-law offered to ask Tingting and her husband to pay 3,000 yuan a month in "alimony".
Tingting didn't know that the reason why her mother-in-law returned the salary card to her son was to get money from them in another way. The mother-in-law had a plan, and the practice of her son's salary card, which she originally held in her hand, was not legitimate;Conversely, it is natural for sons and daughters-in-law to pay alimony.
Tingting was displeased when she heard this proposal: "Mom, you are still young, and you have a monthly pension. We're living a tight life right now, so why pay for it?”
I'm young?I'm in my 60s. What's wrong with me letting Zhiyuan raise me?And rightfully so. The old lady said solemnly.
Tingting tried to explain: "Mom, I understand." But right now our economic situation is tight. Mom, can you be a little more lenient?We'll be sure to give you money when we get through it. ”
What are you nervous about?It's you who put all your money on your mother's house, which causes life to be tight. The mother-in-law looked arrogant and blamed Tingting.
Tingting felt uncomfortable in her heart, recalling that her husband had an accident, and her parents did not hesitate to use all their savings to treat him.
Although it was a false alarm in the end, didn't her mother-in-law know anything about her parents' kindness?Now that my father is sick, what's the problem with spending some money for the family as a daughter?And all this money is her hard-earned money.
Recalling her mother's words, in stark contrast to the attitude of her mother-in-law in front of her, Tingting couldn't help but wonder: "Why do the same parents treat different attitudes?"”
Tingting secretly comforted herself, thinking that her mother-in-law might just be talking, and would not really insist that she and her husband pay this alimony.
But unexpectedly, the mother-in-law did not intend to give up. If Tingting didn't pay this fee, her mother-in-law would immediately use forceful means to make them unable to stay out of the matter.
