My niece's sister-in-law asked me to go to the checkout, and I turned around and left
I'm Fangfang, 32 years old, and I'm still single. My career has always been my focus, and it's hard to find time for my love life. I'm a firm believer that men will only slow me down the rate at which I make money.
But my parents didn't see it that way. After I turned 25, they began to urge me to find a partner and even arranged a blind date for me. I got tired of it, so I rented a room outside. As my business grew, I was even able to buy a house in the city with all the money.
In the eyes of relatives and friends, I became an imperfect woman because I only knew how to make money and had no family. My parents were also influenced by these views, and in order to urge me to get married, they even arranged for my niece, who is my brother's daughter, to stay at my house, saying that it was so that I could feel the warmth of family.
My niece is now in her third year of high school, and the conditions in the school dormitory are too poor. Since my home happens to be close to her school, I agreed to let her live in my house. During the time she lived in my home, my cold home became warm.
Every morning, she would prepare breakfast for meIn the evenings, she would bring me supper after school. She doesn't come home on weekends, just rests at my house and does her homework. When I have free time, I take her to the mall to relax.
Maybe it's because I haven't been shopping for a long time, but as soon as I arrived at the mall, I was attracted by all kinds of beautiful things, so I bought myself a bunch of things, and also bought a lot of beautiful clothes and shoes for my niece. It is in a woman's nature to pursue beauty.
Since then, the niece has become closer, closer than her own mother. Not only did she share the good results, but she also told me the first time. She also told my parents that I couldn't help but feel a little proud in my heart.
She would also discuss with me when she filled out the volunteers, and almost chose her parents away. But I don't think there's anything, because her parents' education level is really limited and they don't know much about it.
On the day the admission notice came, my niece had returned to the countryside to live with her brother and sister-in-law. She excitedly told me that she had been admitted to her first choice and had entered a double first-class university.
Of course, I was proud and happy for her, so I proposed to hold a college banquet for her. My brother and sister-in-law were very happy when they heard that it was a good university, and decided to hold a good one to show off that they had a promising child.
I have a friend who is in the hotel business, specializing in contracting banquets, and the venue and dishes are good, and the ** is reasonable. I recommended him to my brother and sister-in-law, and they decided without saying a word.
On the day of the banquet, I didn't plan to go, but my niece called me and begged me to attend. I had no choice but to try to arrange things as well as possible and hurried to the scene.
Luckily, the feast was coming to an end when I arrived. When my niece saw me coming, she also came to the stage to thank me, and at this moment, she really felt like my child, and I was so moved.
When the guests dispersed one after another, and I was about to pack up my things and leave, my sister-in-law suddenly stopped me and said that I needed a favor from her. I was in a good mood and followed her without hesitation.
Little sister, my phone is out of battery, can you help me settle the bill first, and then I will transfer it to you when I go back?"My sister-in-law said.
I can't settle the bill when my phone is out of battery?It's the worst reason I've heard in all my years of living. Crawling around the mall, how could I not know what tricks my sister-in-law was playing?
Who can live without their phone now?No electricity is a big problem, sister-in-law, there is a power bank here, I'll find one for you, charge it first. "I tried to save some face for her.
Don't be so troublesome, you can help me put it on first, and I'll transfer you money later. "My sister-in-law pushed my hand in a panic and strongly motioned for me to pay the bill first.
But once I paid the bill, I basically couldn't get it back. I don't want to pay for my niece's college banquet, and I'm not her mother!"Whoever treats the guest pays!Don't bother me. "I left that sentence and walked straight out.
My niece actually chased after me, looked at me with pity, and begged me to help her mother. I was instantly furious, how a mother and daughter are virtuous!
Auntie, my mother has no money, so you can help her advance the money first, and I will make money to pay you back later. "In the face of my refusal to pay the bill, my sister-in-law actually pulled my niece as a tool of persuasion, how could she say such a thing at a young age!I was shocked.
Although my brother and sister-in-law's family is not wealthy, how can they not be able to pay these thousands of dollars?Moreover, relatives and friends congratulated them, and sent a lot of gifts. This is simply blatant deception to me, and to teach children to say such things!It's incomprehensible.
If your mom doesn't have any money, go to your dad. Your dad went to eat seafood yesterday, and I saw all the moments he posted. He's obviously rich, and maybe private. "I pointed the finger at my brother and asked the couple to figure it out on their own.
In the face of my clear words, my sister-in-law couldn't hold on any longer, touched her nose in embarrassment, and then walked to my brother. I couldn't hear what the two of them were saying, all I saw was my sister-in-law punching and kicking my brother.
In the end, of course, it was the couple who settled the bill on their own. I don't deserve this big grievance, I used to be responsible for all the big and small things in the family, but this time I even wanted me to pay for my daughter's college banquet!The skin is really thick.
After I went back, I reflected for a long time and decided to keep some distance from my brother and sister-in-law in the future. Otherwise, they may have the idea of "spending their sister's money, as a matter of course".
Even though we are a family, it is really too much for them to keep taking. If I don't stop the loss in time, I'm afraid that when my niece gets married in the future, they will expect me to pay her dowry.
