List of high-quality authors The parents-in-law want to come to support the elderly, and the son-in-law said angrily: 300,000 bride price for marriage, you really have the face.
At the beginning, Mr. Liu's marriage event disturbed him deeply. His mother-in-law demanded a dowry of up to $300,000, which left his parents in heavy debt and forced to work construction sites. Seeing his parents working so hard, Mr. Liu was deeply distressed, so he took on many part-time jobs in addition to his own job, hoping to help his parents get rid of the burden of debt as soon as possible.
However, to Mr. Liu's displeasure, his mother-in-law did not return any of the dowry to his wife. To make matters worse, just a month after the marriage, his mother-in-law frequently visited their home and asked Mr. Liu to take care of her, which further exacerbated his stress and dissatisfaction.
Narrator: My name is Xiao Liu. Our family was modest and had some savings in the past, but our father's illness made us financially strained.
My busy schedule for marriage has been postponed, and in the blink of an eye, I will be 29 years old. My parents were anxious about this, so they introduced a woman to me through a friend.
After more than a year of getting along, she and I decided to get married. She was a very virtuous woman and was very nice to me and my parents, which made me decide to spend the rest of my life with her.
Before the marriage, the parents of both parties had dinner to discuss the marriage, and my future mother-in-law made a request: I must have my own RV and pay a bride price of 300,000 yuan.
Although I own a car and a 100-square-meter house that I bought two years ago, the 300,000 bride price requirement still puts a lot of pressure on me and my parents.
At present, I only have 80,000 yuan in cash, and my parents can only give 20,000 yuan, adding up to 100,000 yuan. Considering that we still need to save money for the wedding, my mother tried to communicate with my future mother-in-law, hoping to reduce the amount of the bride price, because our family's financial situation is really not good.
However, the future mother-in-law despised this, insisting that "my daughter is an only child, and you can only marry her if you pay enough bride price." If you can't get it, don't waste your time. You know, there are still many people who are willing to pay the 300,000 bride price. ”
At the dinner table, I was nervous, thinking about how to make up for the 200,000 yuan funding gap.
My parents promised to reach out to friends and relatives to help raise money. They are very popular and quickly raised 200,000 yuan, but I still don't feel good in my heart, and how to repay the debt has become a big stone in my heart.
Seeing that I was sad, my wife comforted me and said that when we got married, she would take the bride price back and use it to pay off the debt.
I was worried that her mother would stop her when she found out. But she said she wouldn't let her mother know.
So, we got married. But on the night of the wedding, my wife told me with tears in her eyes that she hadn't been able to bring back a penny.
She explained that when she was about to leave, her mother suddenly changed her mind and decided to leave the 300,000 bride price because she believed that the grace of raising her should not be ignored.
I eagerly asked, knowing that my family owes 200,000 yuan, how can we repay the debt without the bride price money? I questioned whether she was in collusion with her family to try to deceive me, which was unacceptable to me.
My parents decided to go out to work to help me. That night, I ignored my wife out of anger, and the next day she apologized to my parents. My parents understood her well and thought it wasn't her fault, but her mother's problem.
My mom told me not to be angry with my wife, and mentioned that my mother-in-law didn't pay for it, saying we couldn't do anything. She also mentioned our $200,000 debt and told me not to worry and that she and Dad were willing to go to work to help pay off the debt.
Although we have relatives who are already working outside the home, I am worried about my older parents. However, they decided to ignore my concerns and got a job with some relatives and even dyed their hair black in an attempt to look younger in order to be hired by the factory.
After my parents started working, I also started looking for part-time work. Even though I already have a good job, with 200,000 yuan in debt and a mortgage, I feel a lot of pressure to think that I can't pay off my debt in the short term without working part-time.
However, what made me even more angry was that only a month after marriage, one night at dinner, my wife received a ** from my mother-in-law, and she offered to come to my house to care for the elderly. I immediately asked my wife to refuse the request.
My mother-in-law decided to move in to our home for the elderly. She suddenly appeared with her luggage and took a tough attitude, declaring that since she only had one daughter, we had an obligation to take care of her. She pointed out that there were spare rooms in our house and asked why we couldn't accept them.
I explained that my parents had worked hard to gather the money for the bride price that had been given to her, and that they had to pay off the debt. I had intended to take the bride price as her pension, but her behavior was unacceptable to me.
The mother-in-law responded that if I didn't agree, I shouldn't marry her daughter.
I replied that if I had known that this would happen, no matter how beautiful her daughter was, I would not have chosen to get married.
During a family altercation, I had to kick my wife's parents out of our accommodation and subsequently put their belongings in the hallway as well. My wife stood aside, teary eyes, trying to convince her parents to leave and avoid further quarrels. However, my mother-in-law was adamantly reluctant to leave, and I had to force her out and throw their belongings outside.
As soon as the door closed, my mother-in-law shouted at me outside, accusing me of being ruthless. My wife was so sad that she couldn't help but go out, not knowing what she was telling her parents, but she left with them.
Afterwards, my mother-in-law called ** and threatened me that if I didn't do what she said, she would let me divorce her daughter.
I replied that if there was a divorce, they would have to return the bride price, or I would take legal action. After hanging up**, I felt both angry and sad, angry at the unreasonableness of my parents-in-law, sad at the thought that I might lose my kind wife.
That night, my wife sent me a secret message telling me that she didn't want a divorce, but that her mother was now restricting her freedom, and that she wanted to be able to return to me in the future.
I didn't reply to her message right away, and I was pondering whether our marriage could go on.
