My name is Reiko, and when I was young, I was a girl who loved to laugh and be lively, unlike my sister.
I'm 45 years old, my fate is a bit bumpy, I got divorced and didn't have a job a few years ago, but fortunately, all this is over, and now I am a full-time nanny.
A while ago, my children's employer went on a business trip, and the male employer made his own decisions and raised my salary from 3,000 to 8,000.
Of course, I was ecstatic, but when I calmed down, I asked the male employer if he wanted to wait for the female employer to come back from a business trip before discussing it, but the male employer said no.
I waited with trepidation for my female employer to come home.
Sure enough, when she came in and learned that my salary had risen to 8,000, her face changed instantly.
But when she came into the house to see it, she smiled knowingly, and not only that, but she also took my hand and urged me to stay.
I come from a small town in the countryside, I originally had a happy family, I had an older sister above me, my parents were farmers, my mother had a good temper and a gentle personality, and my father also loved our sisters.
In fact, I also know that my parents have always had a wish in their hearts, that is, they want to have another boy in the family.
Probably God mercy, when I was 4 years old, my mother really gave birth to a younger brother, and we were very happy as a family, although I was young at that time, I liked my brother very much, and I circled around my brother all day long.
But two years later, something unfortunate happened to my family.
My brother fell into sequelae because of a high fever, and he became stupid, and the doctor said that my brother's IQ could only stay in his years forever, and my parents were stunned.
What happened to my younger brother hit my parents very hard, especially my mother, she always blamed herself for not taking good care of her younger brother, and my mother had a serious illness before she was 40 years old, and she just left.
This family left my dad, my two sisters, and a younger brother who was stupid all day long.
After my mother left, my dad has not looked for anyone again, and he grew up with our sister and brother alone, my sister later went to work in the factory and got married, and my brother-in-law is also from our village, and the two families know each other, he and his sister have no guesses since childhood, and the relationship has been very good.
When I was 24 years old, I went to work in a factory in the city, and then I met my husband, and we got married for more than a year.
Although my family is poor, but our sisters got married, my father didn't ask for anything, he said that he watched our sisters get married, he was already satisfied, he had nothing to worry about in his life, it was this younger brother in the family, he was very worried.
I understood what my dad meant, my dad was old, if he left one day, he was afraid that if our two sisters didn't care about the younger brother, the younger brother wouldn't survive, and I took my dad's hand at that time to reassure him that this younger brother would take care of him to the end no matter what time it was.
Looking at the tears flowing from my father's cloudy eyes, I only felt sad.
Because my husband is from the city, and my mother's family is in the countryside, my in-laws have always looked down on me after I got married, and my mother-in-law disliked me bluntly, she always said that my mother died early, had no tutor, and always said mean things to me.
In order not to worry my father, I have been trying to be a virtuous and diligent daughter-in-law since I got married.
At that time, I had to go to work every day, and when I came home, I did housework, and I washed the clothes and cooked the meals of the whole family, but even so, my mother-in-law still looked at me unpleasantly.
My mother-in-law mentioned my brother from time to time, she said that since I married into her family, I could no longer take care of my mother's brother, she did not even agree with me to go back to my mother's house, and she was suspicious that I had stolen the family's things and brought them back to my mother's house.
When I can't get angry, I will talk back.
I said that I married into your family, not to sell to your family, and besides, when we got married, my father confiscated a penny from your family, and I am still serving a large family to eat and drink, I am not sorry for you.
My words angered my mother-in-law, and she instigated her husband to beat me several times.
Since I got married, I have been home less and less, I always feel very guilty, fortunately, my sister and brother-in-law live close to my mother's house, they go back every three or five times, and bring back delicious food, and my brother-in-law often helps my dad with farm work, compared to my sister and brother-in-law's intimacy, I am really far behind, this kind of thinking makes me feel more uncomfortable.
In the third year of marriage, I gave birth to a daughter.
This made my in-laws, who have always been patriarchal, very disappointed, my father-in-law ignored me at all, my mother-in-law stabbed me with words, I had no one to take care of me during the month, I couldn't even drink hot water, and I washed my own clothes and got out of bed to cook the next day after giving birth.
My mother-in-law came to see me, and my mother-in-law was very unkind to her, and the eggs brought by my sister were given to the neighbors by my mother-in-law.
I can't see the end of such a day, because of the transfer of my in-laws, my husband also doesn't like this daughter, he never participates in taking care of his daughter, his daughter cries in the middle of the night, he gets angry at his daughter, once I get up and move slowly, and my husband who was woken up kicked me down directly.
I was cold even in the cracks of my bones that day, and it was then that I felt completely chilled in this home.
But in order to give my daughter a complete home, I have endured it.
I thought that when my husband was older, maybe he would be mature, and maybe he would know how to hurt people, but later I realized that the selfishness in a person's bones cannot be changed.
My dad died 2 years ago, my husband didn't show up from beginning to end, my in-laws not only persuaded him to go, but also said lightly that it was okay not to go, and even on the night of my dad's funeral, my husband urged me to go home, saying that my in-laws were waiting for me to cook, at that moment I decided not to bear it anymore, I had my own decision.
I filed for divorce with my husband, and my husband looked at me for a long time and smiled contemptuously.
Later, he asked me if I was divorced and I went, do I still have a home?
This time I firmly filed for divorce and left the home that had been miserable for me with my daughter.
After the divorce, I moved back to my parents' house, my father left, and my stupid brother was left at home
Don't be afraid, we have our own home, as long as there is a sister and brother-in-law, you and your niece are indispensable for a bowl of rice.
My brother-in-law even said generously that he would be an extra daughter, and he would take good care of our mother and daughter.
The younger brother on the side was already happy, he pulled his daughter to play, and the daughter looked at the little uncle and was happy, and my heart was uncomfortable and sad.
Just three months after I moved home, I lost my job because the factory was not profitable, and I lost my job.
Thinking that my sister and brother-in-law had low wages in the factory, they had to take care of the family, and they had to provide for my nephew's education, I thought that I must find a way out.
They all said that working as a nanny in the city made a lot of money, and then I made up my mind to become a nanny.
At that time, my daughter was already in high school, and she was living in the school, so I was relieved, and my younger brother was left to my sister and brother-in-law to help take care of me, and I packed my bags and went to the city by myself.
I came to work as a nanny in a family of 3 people, the male and female owners are in their early 50s, all working in foreign companies, and there is an old lady in her early 80s.
The old lady is in good health, can walk and move, I live in the house to buy vegetables for them every day, wash clothes, clean, a month of food and accommodation is 3000 yuan.
With this salary, I gave my sister 500 yuan a month, which was considered a subsidy for them to take care of her younger brother, but my sister refused to accept it at first, but then she couldn't resist my persuasion and accepted it.
I was very diligent in my employer's house, my eyes were all about work, I kept doing housework, my employer was very satisfied with me, and once when my female employer was on a business trip, the old lady suddenly had an accident.
That afternoon, the old lady suddenly slipped in the bathroom.
When I reacted, I quickly called the male employer, but fortunately, the ambulance arrived soon, and we guarded the door of the rescue room for 2 days and 2 nights, and the old lady was finally out of danger.
Since then, I have been in the hospital for more than a month, at first the male employer took a few days off to accompany me, and then I went to the company when there was something to do, and since then I have been taking care of myself day and night.
When I was discharged from the hospital and settled the old lady, my male employer called me out and told me something.
He offered to raise my salary from 3,000 yuan to 8,000 yuan in the future, hoping that I would stay and take care of the old lady with peace of mind.
Of course, I was very happy to hear this, but when I thought that the female employer was not at home, I asked the male employer if he wanted to wait for the eldest sister to come back
The male employer said, no, so it was decided.
Less than a week later, my employer returned, and when she learned that my salary had risen so much, her face changed instantly.
Then she went into the old lady's room, and when she saw that the old lady was not as good as before, she was paralyzed in bed, and she needed to be served close by someone to eat, drink, and Lazar, she came to me, grabbed my hand, and repeatedly begged me to stay.
The female employer later said that she would give me another bonus at the end of the year, and only hoped that I would take good care of the old lady, and I agreed.
Knowing that my salary had been raised, my sister and brother-in-law were also very happy, because my sister helped take care of my younger brother, and I gave 1,000 yuan to my sister every month, and I saved the rest of the money.
I know that the road ahead is not easy, my daughter has to study, I have to go to college, and I have a younger brother to take care of, but the road is slowly walked out, as long as I walk out bravely, I believe that our future days will be better and better.
I will take good care of my younger brother and reassure my parents, and I will also work hard to give myself, my daughter, and my younger brother a happy future.
