Early in the morning of the first day of the new year, I called ** to wish my aunt a happy birthday and asked her to go to the mall to buy her a dress.
My aunt said no at the other end, and I said that I would send you a red envelope to celebrate, and my aunt immediately said okay, then you can give me 20,000 red envelopes, 20,000?
It's so speechless! My mother whispered on the side: "If your aunt hadn't introduced you to a boyfriend, you wouldn't have found such an excellent husband. ”
As soon as I heard these two words, the whole person was like a bulging balloon that was pricked by a needle, and it deflated in an instant.
Also, if my aunt hadn't introduced me to Wu Hao, a rich husband, I would still be ridiculed by my relatives for being a leftover girl.
My name is Liu Yan and I am 30 years old. Two years ago, I became an older leftover girl at the age of 28, and my mother was so worried that she asked people to introduce me to someone, but to no avail.
Later, my aunt said that she would find me a golden beetle son-in-law, and I immediately refused.
The reason is very simple, my aunt is a money-eyed person, and she usually likes to take advantage of small advantages.
My uncle is a gambler, and the family is not living very well, and for so many years, my mother and uncle have been helping them.
Growing up, my mother gave my cousin all the fun and delicious things I had, and I still remember them. My cousin got married to an ordinary man, and her life was average.
For this reason, my mother often says that my aunt is unladylike, and if she marries a good man, it won't be so difficult, I don't express my opinion, they don't work hard to blame anyone, as long as it doesn't affect me.
According to my mother, my aunt is actually very worried about my marriage, and she has been asking me about the right person. However, a person who often plays mahjong and chews the root of his tongue, who can he meet?
In this regard, I laughed at my mother for being too simple. But I was still slapped in the face, and it wasn't until my aunt arranged for me to go on a blind date with Wu Hao that I felt that my aunt was attentive.
Wu Hao's family runs a company in the city, he is still a graduate of a famous university, he is handsome and rich, we fell in love at first sight.
So, when I got married to Wu Hao, standing on the grand wedding stage, I felt like everything was like a dream. Therefore, I am very grateful to my aunt.
My husband and I bought a lot of high-end gifts and gave my aunt a 5-figure red envelope as a thank you.
My aunt was so happy that she said that I was blessed, and she would be stained with my light in the future.
My husband and I have only been married for 3 months, and my aunt asked me to help my cousin change jobs to Wu Hao's company and find a vacant position, and my husband agreed.
Then my uncle played mahjong and gambled with others, losing more than 50,000 yuan, this money was asked by my aunt to ask my mother to find me, and I gave it to myself with private money.
Then it was my aunt's birthday, and my mother pulled me to buy her a gold bracelet of more than 10,000 yuan as a birthday gift. According to the gifts we usually give on holidays, these total costs a lot of money.
Originally, I thought it was normal for relatives to give gifts and red envelopes, but my aunt often said intentionally or unintentionally that we have money, and we make it fast anyway, so it is also appropriate to be a little loose and filial to them.
After all, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been able to enjoy a rich life.
That's true, but when I got married to my husband, it wasn't all because his family was rich, I also made my own money, and I also ran the family with my heart.
I'm good at life, I'm willing to help my family, but I can't help my relatives without any measure.
I complained to my mother, and my mother said that she shouldn't hurt her relatives with a little money, which is really bad to say about her.
Our money is not blown by the wind, and we must have a little bottom line in everything we do. It's just that I didn't expect that this time my aunt would start asking for money again!
Yesterday on Chinese New Year's Eve, our family of three was having a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with my mother's family. After dinner, my husband was pulled by his uncle and aunt to play mahjong.
My husband doesn't know how to play at all, but my aunt has to persuade her to play a few games, saying that this rural aunt will be able to play at a glance, and you, a person who does big business, will be able to play a hand.
My husband didn't want to refute my aunt's face, so he sat down.
As a result, my husband was lucky and won a few hundred yuan, and then he kept losing, losing to 8000, and my husband felt a little sleepy and wanted to sleep.
Auntie, they insisted that he continue to fight, and said that you have money anyway, so what is it if you lose.
I was a little unhappy when I heard it, Xu saw my husband yawning constantly, and finally my mother said that usually you will make a small fuss and win or lose a few hundred, but today Haozi came over, you all won 8000, almost enough.
Auntie, they were not reluctant, so they said that they would go home to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
At the end of the Spring Festival Gala, our family group was lively, everyone shouted together to send red envelopes, I sent 2,000 yuan red envelopes, and everyone grabbed it very happily.
My aunt sent a red envelope of 200 yuan to my child in the group, and when the child went to sleep, I received the red envelope for her. After receiving the red envelopes, everyone said happy New Year to each other and went back to the room to rest.
Unexpectedly, on the first day of the new year today, my aunt asked me to wrap a birthday red envelope of 20,000 yuan.
To tell the truth, I don't want to give, my husband said that the New Year's picture is a happy bag. My mother said that if you don't give it, your relatives won't have to do it in the future, and people should know how to be grateful.
As soon as I heard it, I was angry, and it was okay if such relatives didn't come and go, so I wouldn't give red envelopes.
Now they call me a white-eyed wolf, and I don't think I heard it.
In my opinion, it is also necessary to repay the favor in moderation, so that the relationship can last for a long time. For those relatives who have no sense of proportion, it is also good to stay away early.
Do you think I'm doing the right thing, and if it were you, what would you do?
