After Gu Xiaoying and Lao Liu remarried, they fell into an unexpected dispute. Lao Liu suddenly proposed to let Gu Xiaoying take care of his son's daughter-in-law, because the daughter-in-law was about to give birth. Gu Xiaoying reluctantly refused, she didn't think it was appropriate for her to take care of her unfamiliar daughter-in-law, and she felt that her daughter-in-law's mother was more suitable.
However, Lao Liu insisted that Gu Xiaoying, as a mother-in-law, should be responsible. The two sides had a dispute because of this, and Lao Liu even offered to let Gu Xiaoying pay for the confinement wife, but she refused this request, saying that her income was limited. In the end, Gu Xiaoying decided to take care of her daughter-in-law, but at the same time, she also filed for divorce from Lao Liu.
Her daughter-in-law was very strict with me, not only asking me to strictly follow her diet and hygiene habits, but also asking me to buy ingredients according to her requirements. Even though they had an empty sunny bedroom in the house, she didn't allow me to rest there on the grounds that it was a place that her parents had to keep clean when they came. I could only sleep in the pantry and feel like I was being treated like a babysitter.
My daughter-in-law also asked me to give my grandson a red envelope of 10,000 yuan, and I had to pay for the groceries every day. Although Lao Liu gave me the salary card, the balance was only 6,800 yuan, which was obviously not enough. He also told me to pay the money first and then come back and reimburse, which made me feel very aggrieved, as if he didn't believe that I could keep the account.
Every day, I have to get up early to buy groceries, come back to make breakfast for his son, and then prepare confinement meals for my daughter-in-law. But no matter how hard I tried, my daughter-in-law was always picky about my dishes, either too bland or too salty, which made me feel very frustrated. There was even a time when I mentioned asking her mom to help, and she was angry and said that if her mom could come, she wouldn't need me at all. Lao Liu also blamed me for this, saying that I didn't even know how to serve people, which made me feel very disappointed.
I said angrily, "I'm not going to do it anymore, whoever wants to serve will serve himself!" Lao Liu said, I am so old and still like a child, mother-in-law should think more about the daughter-in-law, and if the daughter-in-law is angry and has no milk, won't the grandson suffer? My grandson may even mistakenly think that it is my responsibility to run out of milk, and he will go on and on with me.
Lao Liu had never had such a big temper before. Before we got married, he was very nice to me and never lost his temper with me. Mr. Liu, who is seven years older than me and is now 63 years old, is the leader of a company who likes to call the shots after retirement. Still, I didn't realize it when he pursued me. Lao Liu's monthly salary after retirement is 6,800 yuan, and he lives in a three-bedroom apartment, while his son has started a family in other places.
Lao Liu said that he was willing to hand over all the salary cards to me to manage to show his sincerity. I was very touched by this gesture. Considering that his conditions are good and that my son doesn't come back every weekend, I decided to say yes.
Lao Liu's wife died three years ago, making him feel lonely. He had a partner before, but because that person was too rude to work and there were frequent things at home, Lao Liu parted ways with him.
The reason why Lao Liu proposed to me to remarry was because he thought that I was a good talker and would not worry about money all day long like other partners. In addition, I do things neatly and have a good temper, which makes Lao Liu feel that I am a good soft persimmon and easy to control. Therefore, when I filed for divorce, Lao Liu was very surprised.
Serving in confinement is really hard and incomprehensible. My daughter-in-law made me disinfect the dishes every day, mop the floor three times, and change the water three times each time, which exhausted me. To make matters worse, once I accidentally broke a bottle of perfume while cleaning her room, and my daughter-in-law was very angry and demanded 5,000 yuan in compensation. While I insisted it was unintentional, she thought I did.
I told Lao Liu about this, but he thought I should compensate. He believes that if something is broken, there must be compensation, which is basic common sense. I had to pay 5,000 yuan.
I spent 15,000 yuan out of my own pocket a month, and I wanted to go home for the end of the confinement, but my daughter-in-law asked me to stay for another three months, and I didn't agree. I am willing to be good to each other, but I can't wronged myself, I am not her mother-in-law. Although Lao Liu did not agree with me leaving, I still bought my own ticket and went home.
After returning home, I gave Lao Liu's grandson a red envelope of 10,000 yuan and a perfume of 5,000 yuan. But Lao Liu refused, he thought that the money should be paid by myself.
Lao Liu always bullied me, but said I was cautious. He gave me a pay card, but he always counted every penny. He also said that the marriage was voluntary, but in fact he insisted on it, and his family did not support it.
I thought it might be the only time I needed to be served during confinement, but it didn't turn out that way. Lao Liu's family came in waves after waves, and I had to entertain them and even do housework. They took a lot of stuff with them when they left, and I had to watch what I did.
Every time they came, I had to spend not only energy, but also a lot of money, and Lao Liu turned a blind eye. He even said that I was a free babysitter and it wasn't worth mentioning to him when I heard him call his son **. I couldn't stand such grievances anymore, so I made the decision to leave.
