My name is Zhao Qiang, I am in my sixties, I have been retired for a while, I never thought that I was not as transparent as some juniors in some aspects!
Some time ago, my in-laws came to the house as a guest and asked me how much my pension was, and I wanted to tell the truth that there were 8200, but my daughter-in-law grabbed the conversation and said that I only had 2800.
(This article is fictional**, from the Internet, please read rationally).
After my daughter-in-law finished speaking, I saw that my in-laws' face was not very good, and lightly mocked me: "So little, then it is estimated that it will be enough for you to live on your own", my old face was flushed, I wanted to explain, but I didn't expect my daughter-in-law to give me a look, let me not say.
After my in-laws left, I asked my daughter-in-law why she embarrassed me, but I didn't expect my daughter-in-law's words to make me suddenly realize.
My daughter-in-law's name is Zhao Fang, she has been married to our family for a few years, and she has added a big fat boy to the family, she is also kind and diligent, and she keeps the family in good order. My wife and I like her very much, and when we meet people, we praise our son for being blessed and marrying such a good daughter-in-law.
Zhao Fang treats us like biological parents on weekdays, but she rarely mentions the affairs of her in-laws, and she only visits them during the New Year's holidays, even though she is not far from home.
It just so happened that some time ago, my in-laws contacted me and said that they wanted to come here for a day, I agreed repeatedly, and my wife cleaned up the guest room, bought good wine and food, and waited for my in-laws to come over and entertain them.
The day of the in-laws' door was very lively, we drank three rounds and chatted more and more, the mother-in-law suddenly asked me how much the pension was, I felt that 8200 yuan was very high, and I wanted to say it proudly, but I didn't expect Zhao Fang to suddenly take the lead in speaking, saying that I only had 2800.
The face of the in-laws suddenly became not very good-looking, and said a few words to let the older generation save some flowers, don't put too much pressure on the children, I felt that there was fire on my face when I heard it, and I was panicked, I wanted to explain, but I was taken away by Zhao Fang's words.
After the end of the night, I went back to my room and complained to my wife, saying that Zhao Fang, the child, was suddenly ignorant and embarrassed me in front of my in-laws.
My wife comforted me and said that Zhao Fang must have done this for a reason, and it would be good to ask her when the time comes, maybe there is some misunderstanding in it. I thought to myself, too, so I didn't dwell on it anymore.
After sending my in-laws away the next day, I asked Zhao Fang what was going on, but before Zhao Fang could speak, my son first said on the side: "Dad, you don't understand, they must be here to borrow money, Xiaofang is helping you."
I was a little unhappy when I heard it, they were both two families, what happened to borrowing some money, our family couldn't afford it, I thought it was my son who didn't want to borrow, and immediately reprimanded him.
That's Xiaofang's parents, her family, isn't it normal to come to your daughter for help when something happens, you are picking and searching like this, are you a little responsible?"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Fang stopped my words, sighed and said, "Dad, you misunderstood, it's none of his business, I don't want to borrow them."
I was very puzzled, Zhao Fang told me about the past between her and her parents, and also made me understand why she has not been close to her parents since she got married.
It turned out that the root of everything was on Zhao Fang's parents, who were ordinary employees in the factory in their early years, and soon after giving birth to Zhao Fang, they added a younger brother to her.
Zhao Fang has never received much love from her parents since she was a child, all the good things belong to her younger brother, and her food and clothing are worse than her younger brother, the only good thing is that because Zhao Fang's grades are not bad, her parents are willing to provide her with all the way to college.
After entering the society, Zhao Fang, although the relationship with her parents is relatively unfamiliar, has not forgotten their nurturing grace, and every time she pays her salary, she will send a part of it home.
However, Zhao Fang's younger brother is in a completely different situation, because he has been pampered since he was a child, not only his grades are a mess, but he also developed a gambling habit when he grew up, and when Zhao Fang was not married to my son, her brother owed hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Zhao Fang told me that she was forced to ask for a bride price of 180,000 yuan, and it was her parents who opened their mouths, and Zhao Fang not only did not get a penny of dowry from her parents, but also posted almost 100,000 yuan, emptying her savings for many years, and her parents let her get married.
And the almost 300,000 yuan was naturally taken by her parents to pay off her brother's gambling debts, and she didn't return a cent to Zhao Fang, and Zhao Fang was completely chilled because of this, and only went to see her parents politely during the New Year's holidays.
It's just that she didn't expect that her parents were not satisfied, and some time ago they planned to buy a house for Zhao Fang's younger brother to marry a daughter-in-law, and wanted Zhao Fang to "borrow" more than 100,000 from them.
Zhao Fang knew that this money must have come and gone, and she was willing to borrow it, and asked my son not to let go of the matter of agreeing to borrow money. Unexpectedly, her parents didn't give up, so they actually contacted me directly and started the idea of in-laws.
Zhao Fang said to me: "It is said that borrowing is urgent and not borrowing poor, Dad, if they know that your pension is almost 10,000, then they will have it, they will definitely entangle you, and then you are embarrassed to refuse, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing."
Only then did I understand my daughter-in-law's good intentions, and I felt a lot of emotion in my heart, but I didn't expect that when I was old, there was no little girl who could see through.
But after thinking about it, a kind child like Zhao Fang is so "ruthless" to her biological parents, and she must have suffered a lot of grievances over the years.
After all, Zhao Fang is still thinking about us, and I told my wife about it afterwards, and my wife was also full of emotion, saying that we must treat Zhao Fang well in the future.
Soon after, my in-laws really didn't give up, I called a **, knocked on the side to ask how much our family had savings, and wanted to borrow some money, I used the excuse that every month's money was "moonlight", and it was spent on my grandson, and I didn't even have five figures in the money on hand, so my in-laws gave up.
After this incident, I also had a heart, and sure enough, people live to learn all the time. Fortunately, I have a good daughter-in-law, so I didn't get planted in the pit.
