On my mother-in-law's 60th birthday, I gave 8,000 red envelopes. She said something and I left in tears.
On my mother-in-law's 60th birthday, I gave 8,000 red envelopes, and her words at the dinner table brought tears to my eyes. I come from a remote mountainous area with a poor family background, so I came out early to break into society.
I have worked in a variety of industries, endured hardships, and always cherished the dream of making a good life for my family. However, the cruelty of society made me deeply feel that people like me, who have no connections and culture, can only do some insignificant work and earn a meager salary.
It took me many years before I found a stable job in an electronics factory and became a small supervisor.
I used to be worried about finding my other half, and I was afraid of being looked down upon. Until I met my wife, a gentle and virtuous woman, it was my greatest blessing to be able to spend my life with her.
She was working as a clerk in the office at the time, and we had a lot of contact due to work, and as time went on, our conversation gradually increased, and eventually we went from ordinary friends to lovers.
We were both older adults at the time, and I was eager to have my own home, and my parents wanted us to get married and have grandchildren. My wife agreed to marry me, but her mother was adamantly opposed to our marriage, believing that I was not well paid, did not even have a house, and would not have much success in the future, and even forced us to break up.
Faced with this predicament, the wife kept pleading, and finally the mother-in-law asked for a bride price of 100,000 yuan. I borrowed money from my relatives, and my parents helped me raise some money, and we finally got the bride price together, and we got married.
Husbands and wives work together to create a better future. We didn't have a lot of money after we got married, so we decided to work together to save money. After a period of hard work, we finally had enough money to return to our hometown and open a clothing store.
My wife has many years of experience in the garment industry, so she runs the storefront, and I got a job nearby. Two years later, our son was born, my mother came to help with the baby, and my wife was able to concentrate on running the store.
Under her careful management, the store's business is getting better and better, with a profit of tens of thousands of dollars every month. Looking at my wife's efforts for the family, I feel very ashamed and even better for her.
Our relationship became deeper as a result.
Our life is getting better and better, we already have our own house and car, and people around me say that I am blessed to have a good wife who is so capable and virtuous, which makes me feel very happy.
Recently, my mother-in-law celebrated her 60th birthday, and I specially wrapped a red envelope of 8,000 yuan as a gift, but my wife blamed me for giving too much, and I just wanted to make my mother-in-law happy.
On my birthday, my father-in-law cooked a table full of dishes, and our whole family gathered to celebrate my mother-in-law. At the dinner table, I happily handed the red envelope to my mother-in-law, hoping that she would compliment me.
However, what I didn't expect was that instead of complimenting me, my mother-in-law accused me and said, "You are still a man with my daughter's hard-earned money to save face here?"
Would you be able to live such a good life now without my daughter? The thing I look down on the most is a man like you. "The people at the table were looking at me, and I was so embarrassed that I really wanted to find a hole in the ground.
My mother-in-law's words were too hurtful, and since she looked down on me, I didn't want to stay here anymore and left the scene in tears. Later, my wife came home and apologized to me and told me not to worry about her mother, but I was still very uncomfortable and panicked.
From now on, I will never go to my mother-in-law's house again, such a mother-in-law is not worthy of my respect. What do you think?
