""At my daughter's wedding, my brother gave me many gifts, but my mother asked me to follow 20,000, which made me unacceptable.""
Early in the morning, I was woken up by the ** ringtone, and I saw that it was my mother calling.
After connecting the **, my mother began to reproach me: "Why did it take you so long to pick up the **?" I've done it several times. ”
I replied impatiently: "Today Saturday, I want to sleep a little more, is there anything wrong?" ”
My mom smiled and said, "Your nephew gets married next month, how much gift money are you going to give him?" ”
I thought for a moment and replied, "I'm going to give 1200, after all, when Lily got married, my brother gave 1000, plus 200." ”
My mom immediately got angry: "How can you do this? Your nephew is married, you have to be more generous. He's your brother's son, you have to be nice to him. ”
I was so accustomed to my mother's partiality with my brother that I sneered, "Then how much do you think I should give?" ”
My mother thought for a moment and said, "At least 20,000, you have to be nice to your nephew, and I can help you in the future." ”
I wasn't in the mood to continue talking to her, so I just hung up**. Give 20000? Isn't that a joke? My monthly salary is only 4000.
Later, my mother called me a few more **, but I didn't answer, she called my husband directly.
My husband was embarrassed to refuse my mother, so he had to answer: "Okay Mom, I will discuss it with her, you are right, this nephew is married, it is not appropriate to give too little." ”
I rolled my eyes in anger, and I was even angrier at the thought of what my mom and brother had done over the years.
Our family has an old house in the countryside, and a few years ago because of the demolition, we lost 2 million, and my father was going to take 200,000 yuan to buy me a car.
But my mother stopped her, she said: "When my daughter gets married, it is the water that is spilled, and Fenglan (I) doesn't have a driver's license, so you bought it for her, and the car was also driven by her son-in-law." ”
I retorted at the time: "I'll just get a driver's license, and besides, my husband will pick me up when he drives." ”
But my mother insisted, "No, you can't buy it, you have to keep the money for your brother to buy a house." ”
So I didn't give me a penny of the demolition money, which has always been a thorn in my heart.
Fortunately, my daughter is very competitive, she has a good job, and she has found a good husband, and they bought their wedding house and car by themselves, so they don't need me and his dad to pay for it.
When my nephew got married, I gave a gift of 1200, and my mother kept a straight face the whole time after she found out.
After the wedding, she immediately found me: "You are so stingy, when your daughter got married, your brother obviously gave 5000, but you only said 1000, you are too selfish!" ”
When my husband heard this, he looked at me blankly and said, "Wife, did your brother give 5,000?" I thought it was only 1000. ”
I ignored them and asked my brother directly, "How much did you give?" ”
My brother hesitated for a long time before saying, "Actually, I only have 1,000, and the other 4,000 is given by my sister." ”
My mother looked at me angrily: "We gave you 2 million, and you can only take out so much?" ”
My brother explained: "It took a lot of money to buy a house and renovate it, and I didn't have much salary. ”
I said to my mother, "Even if I give 20,000, this money will be spent by your son very quickly!" ”
I felt helpless for a while, my brother was spoiled by my parents, especially my mother, she was very patriarchal, no matter what, she gave priority to my brother.
I'm almost going to become a "brother demon", and what my brother and my mother are doing has already chilled me.
