In this bustling world, every family has its story, and every story has its complexity. In an ordinary family in Beijing, a conversation about affection, responsibility and money is unfolding.
At dinnertime, the wife sat at the table, her mind not looking at the food in front of her. The husband, a typical northern man, frowned, trying to read the worries in his wife's face. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, hoping to untie his wife's knot.
Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you today?If you have something in your heart, just say it, don't hold it back. The husband's tone was full of concern.
The wife sighed and cautiously proposed her brother's marriage: "Our brother is going to get married, and there is still 300,000 yuan left to buy a house, I think we should help him?"”
The husband's brow tightened, and he instantly understood his wife's intentions. A wave of unhappiness welled up in his heart, but he still held back his emotions and tried to express his opinion in a calm tone: "Help?."Do we have to live our lives first?Isn't this a bottomless pit?”
There was an embarrassed smile on his wife's face, and she tried to explain: "I didn't mean that, I just think that we should help him." ”
The husband's dissatisfaction began to escalate, and he sensed that his wife did not seem to understand his position. He interrupted his wife: "Let's eat first, and then we'll talk about it after eating." ”
But the wife seemed to be in a hurry to solve the problem, and she continued: "They have already looked at the house and are waiting to pay for it.
The husband's emotions finally exploded, and his voice raised a few decibels: "I'll tell you, I'll talk about it after eating!."”
There was a hint of surprise in the wife's eyes, as if she had not expected such a reaction from her husband. She was stunned for a few seconds, then continued: "I didn't mean that, they were really in a hurry.
The husband's mood had reached a critical point, and he directly interrupted his wife's words: "I am anxious for you to let your sister give, she is showing off her wealth there every day!."Then how can whoever has good conditions get the money to be the big one?I have to pay all the money, isn't that a bottomless pit?”
A chill swelled in the wife's heart, and she asked her husband, "Didn't your parents help you before?"Then when you don't have money, then less help you?”
The husband's emotions became more intense, he stood up and dropped the chopsticks in his hand: "I have made some money in business for so many years, but I have never lost money when you have money for your family, do your parents take less money from me?"”
But I'll tell you, I can't give your brother the money for marriage this time, do you know that you have to borrow money to get married, and if you have the ability, you will end it, and if you don't have the ability, don't get it!”
The wife was shocked by her husband's anger, she opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything, she could only bow her head silently.
This story, although only a fragment of a family, reflects the problems that are common in many families: the responsibility of family affection and the dilemma of money. The husband did not deny that his wife's parents had helped him at the beginning, so after the family conditions improved, he had been helping his wife's mother's family, but his mother's family was not satisfied and had been counting on him to help, and his wife's younger brother was not motivated, no wonder the husband was angry.
The husband's outspokenness, although embarrassing to the wife, is not unreasonable. It can be seen from the conversation between the two that the younger brother has two older sisters, and the family conditions are good, but his family has always helped, and the husband must not think about it in his heart.
What's more, the wife didn't think that it was not easy for her husband to earn money, nor did she take into account her husband's feelings, but only thought about helping her younger brother, and her husband felt even more sad.
In family relationships, the relationship between husband and wife is bigger than anything else. If the couple runs their small family well, everything will get better and better. If the wife can't distinguish priorities and priorities, and doesn't think with her husband and work hard together, life will not be good. This story reminds every family member to know how to cherish each other and know how to find a balance between family affection and money, so that the family can be harmonious and live a happy life.
