Many people envy me, saying that my daughter is married to a rich man, my in-law's family has many sets of shops and real estate, and there is a profitable business to do, and my daughter is married so well, I can also follow her and enjoy endless glory and wealth.
But in fact, I am not happy at all when my daughter marries into a wealthy family. Although the man gave me a bride price of 500,000 yuan when my daughter got married, I still think that my daughter owes me.
The reason why I think my daughter owes me is because she treats my brother badly. My wife and I have a son and a daughter, the daughter is the elder sister and the son is the younger brother. The daughter has been smart and sensible since she was a child, and her academic performance is outstanding. My younger brother is more playful, and he has never passed the exam.
Even though my son is not good at studying, he is still a treasure in the palm of my hand. In our rural areas, if there is no son in the family, it will be looked down upon.
Although my daughter has a good academic performance, she can't afford to be a door, and if we hadn't given birth to a son, the family would definitely be bullied by the villagers.
In our village, it is generally believed that girls do not need to study at all, and that no amount of reading for a daughter will not help her parents. The daughter is going to marry after all, and after getting married, the daughter will not help her mother's family anymore. Therefore, for her daughter to study, it is definitely a loss-making business.
I am the same, I don't want my daughter to go to school, I just want my son to go to college. After my daughter graduated from high school and was admitted to a prestigious university, I didn't let her go, I wanted her to work to earn money, and help my younger brother earn money to marry a daughter-in-law.
Her daughter is clamoring to go to college, and she says she doesn't want to live in the countryside for the rest of her life. She wants to study to change her fate and realize the value of her life.
No matter what my daughter says, I just don't pay for it. I told my daughter that it was okay for her not to work to earn money, but I wouldn't pay a cent for her college tuition, so she asked her to figure it out by herself.
The daughter is also tough, she quietly went to the school to sign up without any money. The school teacher loved her and applied for a student loan to help her solve the problem of tuition fees. The living expenses during the university were also earned by her own work-study, and she didn't ask us for a penny.
After graduating from university, her daughter continued to study for a master's degree and a doctorate, and she made herself an old girl. My daughter is so focused on her studies that she doesn't think about her life's events at all, which makes me very worried.
In rural areas, once a girl is over 20 years old, she will start to go on a blind date, and if she drags her age older, it will be difficult to find a good in-law.
In order to urge my daughter to fall in love and get married, I called her over and over again, and persuaded her bitterly, asking her to find a man with good conditions to marry, and not to delay her youth in order to study.
My daughter said that I was a frog at the bottom of the well and couldn't keep up with the progress of the times. She said that there are many girls in the city who have not yet married after the age of 30, just like in our village, when the girl has just turned 20, she hurriedly looks for her in-laws.
My daughter told me to leave her alone, saying that she knew what to do. My daughter is not in a hurry, but my heart is in a hurry. If a daughter does not marry for a day, a son will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law for a day. The son's money for marrying his daughter-in-law depends entirely on the bride price received by his daughter's marriage.
My son can't study, and he doesn't want to work hard, so he stays at home every day and relies on our wife to support him. Even though my son doesn't do anything, I am willing to support him, and no matter how much I pay for my son, I am willing.
Seeing that my son is in his twenties, but he doesn't even have a girlfriend, my heart is so anxious that it is like frying in a frying pan, I can't eat well every day, I can't sleep, and I'm worried about my son's lifelong events.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and before the son married his daughter-in-law, his wife got cancer. In order to treat my wife, I put all my family's small savings into it. Even so, my wife left me forever.
Soon after his wife died, his daughter also completed her studies. After graduating, she applied for a job at a well-known large company and became a white-collar worker.
My son and I had a hard time, but my daughter's life was getting better and better. With the repeated promotions in her position, her daughter's income has also reached a staggering level.
After my daughter made money, she was very generous to me, and every time she came home to see me, she would buy me a lot of gifts, those things, I have never seen in my life, and they are high-end goods at first glance.
Even though my daughter gave me expensive things, I wasn't happy at all. I told my daughter that instead of spending so much money on me for gifts, it would be better to give me the money directly.
The daughter said, "Don't even think about it, I won't give you money, because I know that if you get money from me, you will definitely give it all to your brother, who is not angry, and in that case, my money will be wasted." ”
My daughter didn't give me money, and I didn't recruit either. The money is in her hands, I can't rob it. The days went by like this, and my son still didn't go to work, lying at home every day, relying on me to support him.
A year later, the daughter suddenly brought a boy home, saying that it was her boyfriend, and the two planned to get married in the near future.
I saw that the boy was in a suit and leather shoes, and looked very rich, so I tentatively said: "If you are sincere and really want to marry my daughter, give me a bride price of 500,000 yuan, otherwise I will never marry my daughter to you." ”
What I never expected was that the boy agreed to me without hesitation, and immediately took out a bank card and said that he would send 500,000 yuan to the card tomorrow, and when the time came, I would just transfer the money directly to my account.
The moment I took the bank card, I was happy, I thought to myself, my daughter has caught a golden beetle, otherwise, the boy would not easily give me so much money. I suddenly regretted that I hadn't asked the boy for more money.
Early the next morning, I went to the bank with the passbook and transferred the 500,000 yuan in the card to my bank account.
It's the first time I've had that much money in most of my life, and it feels like a dream. As soon as I got home from the bank, I received a call from my daughter, asking me if I had withdrawn the money? How much was taken?
I didn't even think about it, so I said honestly: "Just now, I have transferred the 500,000 yuan to my account. "My daughter said to me that the 500,000 yuan must be taken away when she gets married. Otherwise, she will not be a good person in her in-law's house in the future.
My daughter actually wanted to take the bride price money away, and I was in a hurry. I told my daughter categorically that I would not give her the 500,000 yuan anyway, because I wanted to keep the money and marry my son as a daughter-in-law!
My daughter cried and said that I was thinking about my son and had never thought about her. She was born poor, and now she is married into a wealthy family, I didn't buy her a penny of dowry, and I have to use her bride price money to marry my son's daughter-in-law, which is too partial.
Even though my daughter was crying sadly, I didn't change my mind. The money has been transferred to my account, and as long as I don't give it, no one can take it.
Soon after my daughter got married, I used the 500,000 yuan bride price I received to buy a house for my son in the town and marry a daughter-in-law. After the son married his daughter-in-law, he still slept at home every day and did not go to work to earn money.
The son doesn't make money, and the daughter-in-law makes trouble at home every day, clamoring for a divorce from him. I finally married my son a daughter-in-law, how can I watch them divorce? In order to keep my daughter-in-law, I had to be cheeky and go to the city to ask my daughter for money.
When I arrived at my daughter's house, I saw her family's spacious big house and the nanny hired at home, and my heart was sour. My daughter is doing so well, but it doesn't help me and my son in the slightest, which makes my heart very unbalanced.
I told my daughter to ask her to give me a million, and with this million, even if my son does not go to work for the rest of his life, his life can be maintained. If she doesn't give me money, my son's marriage will be over, and most of my life's hard work will be ruined.
My daughter listened to me and behaved unusually calmly. She didn't ask her brother if he was doing well, but said that I had spoiled my son, and it was because of my bottomless connivance that it led to today's result.
My daughter asked me to leave my son alone, as long as my son has no support, he will grow up quickly and become a responsible person.
I understand all the truths that my daughter said, but I really can't do it if I let go of my son. I'm afraid that my son won't be able to withstand the setback, and if I find a short-term view, how can I live for the rest of my life?
I didn't even hold my grandson, in case my daughter-in-law ran away, it would be difficult for my son to find a wife again, in that case, wouldn't my old Zhao family be doomed? I have to coax my daughter-in-law to give birth to the child and leave a descendant for our old Zhao family.
In order to save my son's marriage, I cheekily begged my daughter to let her give me a million, otherwise I would stay here and not leave. I cried so hard that I almost got to her knees.
Even though I cried so movingly, my daughter didn't say anything. But my son-in-law couldn't look at it, so he took out 10,000 yuan from the room and asked me to go home with the money.
I was just about to take the money, but my daughter took it away, took out a thousand yuan from it, and handed it to me. The daughter said, here is a thousand yuan, I will take it, if I don't want it, I will not have a penny. And, this is the last time she will give me money, because she doesn't want to use her own money to raise a lazy waste who lies at home every day.
Seeing that the 10,000 yuan given to me by my son-in-law turned into 1,000 yuan in a blink of an eye, my heart felt like I was dripping blood. My daughter's firm eyes made me realize clearly: If I don't want this thousand yuan, I really won't be able to get a penny.
I reluctantly took the 1,000 yuan and left my daughter's house in a huff. I have never been able to understand why my daughter married into a wealthy family and has tens of millions of assets, so why can't she take out one million to make her younger brother live better? It's just puzzling.
