I'm Liu Meili, 35 years old, and I'm an ordinary office worker. My husband is a secondary school teacher, we have been married for 8 years and have just recently bought our own house. With the purchase of the house, we also borrowed a sum of money to buy a small car in order to celebrate this joy, which made us barely have our own caravan status.
However, since we owned the house and car, my parents' attitude towards me has changed. The last time I came back to my parents' house, they said to me, "I really didn't expect you two to be rich." If you are so rich, why don't you help us?And your brother, the RV hasn't landed yet, no matter how well you live, you can't watch your brother have a bad time. ”
I explained to my parents: "My house was purchased with a loan, and my car was borrowed from my in-laws, and these are loans that need to be repaid, and my life is not easy. I'm going to have to pay more debts in the future, and I hope you will understand me. Hearing this, my parents didn't say anything for a while, and I thought they understood my situation.
However, what happened soon after made me understand that they were just looking for a more appropriate time to criticize me. Last month, when our house was delivered, I decided to celebrate this wonderful occasion by inviting my parents and younger brother to dinner. However, when they arrived, their expressions were extremely serious, without the slightest smile, and the younger brother was even more stiff-faced, even reluctant to move his chopsticks.
I thought it might be because the environment of the restaurant was not suitable, so I proposed to change the place and order a new table. However, I was taken aback by my parents' response: "What are you doing when you change restaurants?"It's all the same, we don't have an appetite. I asked, "Why don't you have an appetite?"Aren't you happy for me?I'm your daughter, and I've only been married for so many years to buy a small house!The father sighed bitterly: "Look at your brother, he is 30 years old, he hasn't married a wife yet, he has no house or car in his hand, and we can afford it." If he is the one who buys the house today, maybe your mother and I will be happier. ”
I was very angry with these words, and I felt trembling with my father's naked partiality. I turned around and asked my mother, "Mom, do you feel the same way?"Before my mother could respond, my younger brother stood up and said, "Yes, my parents are heartbroken for my future, and you, as a sister, not only do not share it, but also invite guests to stimulate me." Is this the attitude of being a sister?”
I responded, "Haven't I helped you enough?".Before I got married, I gave you all my salary, and after I got married, your brother-in-law and I often helped you. Isn't that enough?Do I have to take out my heart for you, so that you will be satisfied?The younger brother huffed and did not reply, but tapped angrily on the table.
The mother touched his hand distressedly and comforted: "It's okay, don't be angry son, my sister will also find a way to buy you a house." I couldn't help it anymore when I heard even the fairest mother say such annoying words, and pointed to the door and said, "You guys go, if you don't eat, get out!."
I regard you as my dearest relatives, but I didn't expect that even my relatives would stab me in the heart. Let's never interact with each other again in the future, just treat me as a white-eyed wolf and have no mother's family!I sat down and lay on the table and cried, and my husband hugged me in distress and kept comforting me.
However, my parents and younger brother didn't have a word of comfort, just packed a few dishes and left. I looked at their backs and fell into a state of utter "despair".
I understand that this incident completely tore up my relationship with my mother's family. But I really don't understand, in the hearts of my parents, did I really become heinous because I bought a house before my brother?Will they only be happy if I give the house to my brother, or save money to buy a house for him?
