My name is Liu Xiumei, 30 years old, my husband Li Shuiquan, 35 years old, and we have a 5-year-old son. Mother-in-law Wang Chunhua, 52 years old, did not live with us.
On the weekend, our family of three was having lunch, and Wang Chunhua came. Seeing her, Li Shuiquan's expression changed, and he looked impatient.
You've just eaten, and you've starved my eldest grandson. As she spoke, she put the things in her hand on the coffee table.
I stepped forward and beckoned her: Mom, you sit down and eat with us, and I'll go get you a pair of chopsticks.
Xiumei, you don't have to worry about me, I've already eaten it. Wang Chunhua said as she sat next to her son.
Li Shuiquan hurriedly took two mouthfuls of food, said that he was full, stood up and went back to the room.
Look at him, every time he sees me, it's like seeing an enemy. Wang Chunhua said to herself, revealing an embarrassed smile.
I didn't respond, so she had to talk to her son.
After putting my son to sleep, Wang Chunhua asked me to call Li Shuiquan out, she had something to tell us.
Li Shuiquan inked in the room for ten minutes before coming out, sitting on the sofa and staring at his phone.
Do you know what day it is? Wang Chunhua asked.
I was at a loss, and I didn't know it after thinking about it for a long time. I looked at Li Shuiquan with an inquiring gaze, and he shook his head.
You're playing stupid, aren't you? It's time to pay alimony today. Three years ago, you gave me 90,000, and the time has come. This time, it has been **6 years at a time, a total of 180,000. Wang Chunhua took a sip of water after speaking, and the water was boiling and not yet cold. Scalding her teeth, she slammed the glass on the table. The left hand covers the mouth and makes a groaning sound in the mouth.
What, 180 thousand? Li Shuiquan and I exclaimed at the same time.
Our mortgage and car loan plus daily expenses cost at least 8,000 per month. The family is all working alone, and we have so much money for you. I rushed to answer.
Then you go to work and leave the child to me. Wang Chunhua looked at us and said.
No, we bring our own children. Li Shuiquan put his phone on the table and said.
Don't forget, you have to pay 2,500 yuan a month in alimony. If we don't, we'll have to see in court. Wang Chunhua warns us.
How can there be a mother like you, not only does not help her son, but also forces us. Besides, you only have one son, and your money is not mine in the end? Li Shuiquan said coldly.
It is natural for a son to support his parents, and it is useless for you to say anything, we have an agreement. Besides, it's not certain whether my property will be yours in the future. Wang Chunhua said proudly.
If it's not mine, why should I give you alimony? After Li Shuiquan finished speaking, he turned his face to look out the window.
When Li Shuiquan was five years old, his father died in a car accident. Since then, he has lived with Wang Chunhua.
Wang Chunhua has a strong desire to control him, and she must listen to her in everything. She decides what school she attends, what training courses she takes, what major she studies, etc., and even what clothes she wears.
If Li Shuiquan expresses **, Wang Chunhua will either cry or make trouble, until he gives in.
This long-term life has made Li Shuiquan silent, and he has always hoped in his heart that he would get rid of Wang Chunhua's control as soon as possible.
finally worked, but Wang Chunhua still pointed fingers at him. Especially after she retired, she had more time and more management, which made Li Shuiquan even more suffocated.
When I got married, I insisted on buying a wedding house to live alone, but Wang Chunhua scolded me for being disrespectful and taking Li Shuiquan badly. said that he didn't agree with our business, Li Shuiquan said that he would not marry anyone in his life except me.
In the end, Wang Chunhua finally compromised. Li Shuiquan lived the life he wanted.
After we got together, Li Shuiquan not only talked more, but also smiled more. However, the relationship between their mother and son has always been very tense, and they quarrel when they meet.
Three years ago, Wang Chunhua retired. She offered to let us give her $3,000 a month in alimony, but we didn't agree.
So, she came to the house every day to cry, and even splashed and rolled on the ground a few times. The neighborhood committee came to mediate several times to no avail, and relatives came to persuade and were scolded.
My mother said, your mother-in-law is really wonderful. A good home will be broken up by her sooner or later.
When Wang Chunhua saw people, she said how she raised her son alone, and now that her son has grown up, she doesn't care about her.
During that time, Li Shuiquan made frequent mistakes at work and had nightmares every night. He said that as soon as he heard Wang Chunhua's voice, his head buzzed.
We had to sit down and talk about alimony, which was reduced from 3,000 yuan to 2,500 yuan, or 30,000 yuan a year. Li Shuiquan is the company's sales, and his salary is tens of thousands when he is high, and he only has a guaranteed salary of 3,000 yuan when he is low. However, in order to get rid of Wang Chunhua's entanglement, we had to agree.
Unexpectedly, Wang Chunhua asked us to write an agreement, which was signed in black and white to count.
We transferred alimony to her for 3 years at one time, because we didn't want to see her again.
In the past 3 years, if Wang Chunhua misses her grandson, she will come to our house by herself. She knew we weren't going to see her, and we wouldn't see her more than a few times a year. We never took the initiative to go to her house, and if there was anything, I took my son and the two of us there.
Li Shuiquan slowly became cheerful, he didn't want his son to live with Wang Chunhua, otherwise he would be the second him.
I usually work part-time at home to earn some living expenses. For three years, we've forgotten about alimony. Unexpectedly, Wang Chunhua took the initiative to come to the door.
Mom, we have also spent a lot of money in recent years, and we don't have any extra money at all, can you see if you can be accommodating? I persuaded.
It's not that I forced you, now you need money for everything, what do I use if I don't have money? As she spoke, Wang Chunhua wiped away her tears.
Am I really your own? You never ask me if I have any difficulties, you just ask for it. You have 800,000 in savings, 2 houses, and a pension of 4,000 per month. Can you spend it all? Li Shuiquan stared at her and asked.
What the? Wang Chunhua and I were taken aback at the same time.
I never knew Wang Chunhua's family background, but I didn't expect her to be so rich.
Who do you say you leave all this money to? Even if you don't give me flowers, you can give them to your grandson. You have to force me, you just want me to comply, don't you? I don't have any money, you can sue if you want to, see if you are ashamed or I am ashamed? Li Shuiquan finished speaking in one breath, turned around and took a cigarette and lit it.
Those are my property and have nothing to do with you. You'll have to support me, and you'll have to pay for it. Wang Chunhua said.
Tiger poison doesn't eat children, you treat me like this, and you still want me to treat you with a good face? You're going to drive me crazy sooner or later! Li Shuiquan said angrily.
It's that you don't have the ability. Other people's sons give 5,000 yuan a month, and they also hire a nanny to take care of their parents. My requirements are low. Wang Chunhua said generously.
If you don't have money, you have to die. The choice is yours. Li Shuiquan can only play a scoundrel.
You, you're playing tricks on me? Wang Chunhua couldn't believe it.
Didn't I learn it from you? After Li Shuiquan finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.
Mom, we didn't say we didn't honor you, it's really because we are short of money. Well, we'll give you money on a monthly basis, okay? I tried hard to persuade her, I used to think that it was not easy for her to be a woman, but I didn't expect her to cry poor.
Wang Chunhua pondered for a while and said: "In this way, I will move in with you, so that I can also help you take care of the children."
No, I don't agree. Li Shuiquan resolutely opposed it.
Give money and live together, you choose the same. Wang Chunhua was not angry and said calmly.
Neither will work, please leave immediately, you are not welcome in my house. Li Shuiquan pointed to the door and said to her.
You are so bold that now you dare not listen to me? I won't give you a cent of my property in the future. Wang Chunhua said excitedly.
I never wanted to ask for your money, you can give it to whomever you like. Li Shuiquan refused to his face.
You're really in the water, I'm your own mother, and I'm not a bad person. You hurt my heart so much! Wang Chunhua said and began to wipe her tears.
If you want to cry, go home and cry. Li Shui didn't care about her and drove people away.
When Wang Chunhua heard this, she picked up her bag and opened the door and left.
As soon as she left, Li Shui was completely angry, and kicked the chair hard, so painful that he covered his feet and spun in circles.
I hurriedly went over to help him, why do you bother?
How much money does our family have now? Li Shuiquan slowly moved his feet, sat down and asked me.
It's about 100,000, and I thought about it for a while and said, I really don't want to see her for a minute, why don't I give her the money? Li Shuiquan asked tentatively.
How do you know she's rich? I asked, puzzled.
It turned out that before getting married, when Li Shuiquan was looking for the household registration book at home, he found Wang Chunhua's passbook and real estate certificate. The pension was told to him by Wang Chunhua's colleagues.
She is so rich and wants us to give alimony, which is so inconsiderate to us. I'm a little angry.
She wanted to control me all her life and kept forcing me to listen to her. The thought of living under the same roof with her makes me uncomfortable. Li Shuiquan said and hugged his head with both hands. I gently patted him on the back and comforted him.
The next afternoon, I picked up my son ten minutes late because of something. I went to the teacher and told me that my son was picked up by his grandmother.
When I heard this, a cold sweat broke out on my back. Wang Chunhua: What do you want to do?
I hurriedly rushed to Wang Chunhua's house, knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered. I called her **, but no one answered. Waited outside the door for half an hour, and no one came back.
I had to tell Li Shuiquan about the situation, and as soon as he heard it, he asked me to wait, and he would arrive in a while.
I sat on the flower bed on the side of the road and called Wang Chunhua again, but she still didn't answer.
Li Shuiquan came, he used his mobile phone to call Wang Chunhua, and this time he finally answered. My son's voice came from the microphone, "Dad, I'm playing with my grandmother."
I suppressed the anger in my heart and said, son, mom will pick you up right away and give your phone to grandma.
Li Shuiquan grabbed the ** and said, why did you pick up the child without our consent?
Wang Chunhua's voice came, I pick up my grandson, do I still have to make an appointment?
Isn't it enough for you to control my life? What exactly do you want? Li Shuiquan scratched his hair indiscriminately and asked irritably.
The agreement expires, and you guys get your money ready. Wang Chunhua's cold voice came.
We don't have that much money, give three years at most. Li Shuiquan compromised.
I know that he never wants to see Wang Chunhua again.
My son is back, but Li Shuiquan and I can't be happy.
We went to the relevant person and said that as children, we have an obligation to support the elderly. Wang Chunhua's request is reasonable and legitimate.
We had to transfer alimony to Wang Chunhua for another 3 years, and we didn't have much money left.
At this time, Li Shuiquan's company had a project in the field that lacked people, and his salary could be 3,000 yuan more per month in the past, so he was the first to sign up.
Li Shuiquan went to other places, where the development prospects of the project were very good. If the project is successful, he may be working there for a long time.
After the summer vacation, I took my son to find Li Shuiquan. Our current plan is that if he decides to work there, we will move in as a family.
I can understand Li Shuiquan's mood, and I can also understand the shadow in his heart.
But after the relatives found out, they all said that Li Shuiquan was stupid, obviously his mother had a house and money, as long as he was soft, he could have no worries about food and clothing, and he had to take his wife and children to endure hardship.
Do you think we're doing the right thing? If it were you, would you choose to live with your controlling mother, or would you offer to give her alimony?
