Xu Nan is 31 years old and works in the financial office of a company with a monthly salary of 4,500.
Her husband Li Sheng is 37 years old and works in a real estate agency and can get about 4,000 per month.
After getting off work that day, she went to the kindergarten to pick up her son, Teacher Liu was a little unhappy, and said with a strained face: Li Zhifei's mother, I know that you have a job and can't get off work early, but I also have a home and children at home, and I am also very embarrassed to wait for you for so long every day.
Xu Nan laughed and said: Teacher Liu, I'm sorry, I will try to come as early as possible in the future, or you let Zhifei stay at the doorman, there is a security guard there, I will pick him up in the doorman's room.
The son lowered his head, took her hand, and stood beside her obediently, rubbing his feet against the ground, a little helpless.
Teacher Liu said unhappily: Li Zhifei's mother, I can't be the master of this matter, you can find the dean tomorrow, but my children are still young, so I really can't wait for you alone.
She was a little embarrassed, but she also knew that what Mr. Liu said was right, they were all in their 30s, and it was not easy to have a family.
Xu Nan: Teacher Liu, I know, I will come to the dean at noon tomorrow, talk to her, and ask her to agree to let Zhifei stay at the doorman and wait for me.
She asked her son to put on a helmet and ride an electric car home, Zhifei was also very unhappy, and said: Mom, can't you come and pick me up earlier? I was alone in the classroom every day, and the teacher didn't like my ......
Her son's words made Xu Nan a little sad, but what could she do? She got off work at 5:30 every day, and it was almost 6 o'clock when she arrived at kindergarten.
Li Sheng's place of work is farther away, and unless she leaves, her son can only wait for her in kindergarten.
When she got home, she let her son play by himself, and she went to the kitchen to cook.
When chopping vegetables, Xu Nan shook his head, from opening his eyes in the morning to closing his eyes at night, sometimes he really couldn't figure out what people worked so hard for.
The family has no money, so she can only scramble tomatoes and eggs, hot and sour shredded potatoes and cold spinach.
As soon as the dishes were served, Li Sheng entered the door listlessly with his bag, and Xu Nan shouted to his son to come and eat.
Li Sheng sat down, looked at the dishes on the table, frowned, and said: Xu Nan, my leg hurts every day, so you let me eat these?
Xu Nan: I haven't paid my salary yet, so I can only hold on to it for a few days, let's make do with it for a few days.
She tossed rice with tomatoes for her son and told him to eat slowly, while Zhifei pouted and slowly stirred the rice in the bowl.
After eating, Xu Nan was cleaning up the dining table, Li Sheng's ** rang, and he said after connecting: Mom, how is Dad? Have you eaten?
Mother: Xiao Sheng, your dad looks very good today, but the doctor told us to hurry up and prepare money to arrange surgery.
Li Sheng: Mom, didn't I give you 100,000 yuan last time, and it's gone so soon?
Mother: Hey, your dad has to undergo chemotherapy, eat and stay every day, which doesn't cost anything, and you have to pay 100,000 yuan for the operation, otherwise the hospital won't arrange it.
Li Sheng rubbed his brows, held his mobile phone, walked around the living room, and said: Mom, the 100,000 I gave you earlier is already all the money in the family, and those are still Xu Nan's private money, you let me find 100,000 again.
Xu Nan heard his words intermittently, and could only shake his head and sigh, there was less than 500 yuan left at home, which was only enough for the living expenses of the past few days.
After tidying up the kitchen, she went to her son again, washed his face and feet, and put him to sleep.
After she washed herself and lay on the bed, she didn't want to move when she was tired, so she took out her mobile phone and brushed ** to make herself a little more relaxed.
Li Sheng went back to the house and saw her playing with her mobile phone, and said unhappily: Xu Nan, my dad is in the hospital, and my mom is guarding the hospital every day, are you still in the mood to play with your mobile phone?
Xu Nan glanced at him and said: I'm tired, can't I just relax for a few minutes before going to bed?
Li Sheng sat at the head of the bed and said: Nan Nan, my mother said that the hospital asked me to pay another 100,000 yuan for the operation.
Xu Nan continued to look at the phone and said: I gave you all the money in my hand, and it was left to me by my mother.
Li Sheng said with a gloomy face: I know, but my dad is still in the hospital, so we can't ignore it.
Nan Nan, let's sell your house, such an old house, the monthly rent is not much, I sold it to my dad for medical treatment first, and the rest of the savings also have interest.
Xu Nan looked at him in disbelief and said, "You asked me to sell the house?" You know, my mother left it to me.
Li Sheng was a little irritable and said: Nan Nan, I know that it was left to you by your mother, but my father's life is always more important than an old house.
Xu Nan said: Li Sheng, my mother left me 100,000 yuan when she left, and I have already taken it out to treat my father, and now you still want me to sell the house, don't you think it's too much?
My parents have their own house and a shop, why didn't they think about selling the shop, Li Sheng, I am for this family, but I am not a fool.
After saying that, she put down her phone and turned to sleep.
Li Sheng looked at Xu Nan, who was sleeping with him on his back, and there was a fire in his heart, and he felt that it was getting hotter and hotter.
He didn't understand, but it was just a dilapidated and small house, and it was better to sell it than to keep it, so why didn't she agree.
They are all married, her house is also family, if her parents' shop is sold, then they have no income, how will they live in the future?
Even if Dad has surgery, his health will be very poor, and he needs to take care of it, and he doesn't know how much it will cost when he takes it.
He sighed, feeling that Xu Nan and him were not of the same mind, and he didn't understand his difficulties at all, and he wouldn't share his worries when he saw him working so hard.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he lifted her quilt and said angrily: Xu Nan, my dad is waiting for surgery in the hospital, do you really want to die without help? That's your father-in-law, we're family.
Xu Nan opened his eyes, his eyes were a little cold, and said: Li Sheng, although my mother is gone, and there is no one in my mother's family, it does not mean that you can be manipulated at will.
Li Sheng: Xu Nan, what do you mean? You're saying I'm going to be greedy for your house? How can you think of me like that? Isn't my relationship with you worth a broken house?
Xu Nan: Li Sheng, we are all in our 30s, why do you say such childish things? Your parents have a house, a shop, and your brother has two suites, but what you want is to sell my house, hehe, is this the relationship you are talking about?
Li Sheng, when we got married, there was nothing, your family was obviously rich, but you said that you grew up and didn't want your parents to work hard, and you wanted to buy a house with your own down payment, my mother saw that I insisted on marrying you, but she didn't say anything, didn't ask for a bride price, and gave me 40,000 yuan, so that I don't have too much hardship.
Li Sheng, I don't talk about these things, it's not that I don't understand, I just want to have a home and live a peaceful life, but don't go too far.
Li Sheng was furious and said: Xu Nan, we earn our own money to buy a house, what's wrong, our parents are old, the little money in their hands is to support the elderly, we are still young, why bother to take out the money in their pockets.
Xu Nan suddenly laughed and said: What you said is right, but what about your brother, your parents bought him two suites, won't one of them actually be yours.
Li Sheng, you have to talk about your conscience, your family discusses together all day long and excludes me, do you really think I don't know?
Li Sheng couldn't hold back any longer, slapped her hard, and said: Xu Nan, if you don't sell the house to my father for medical treatment, we will divorce.
Xu Nan, you grew up as a single parent and didn't have a father since you were a child, do you want Zhifei to be the same as you?
Xu Nan covered his face in a daze, his hands were hot, but he was even more sad and angry in his heart.
Li Sheng went out, he didn't want to stay in this house anymore, he didn't expect to do it himself, maybe he suddenly heard her say about the house, and he was a little annoyed and angry.
Xu Nan is right, saying that his younger brother has two suites, but in fact, they have one for each of them, which was bought by their parents for them to get married, and now his own set is rented out, although the money is in his mother's name, but it is stuck in his hand, and only he has the password.
Mom said: Xiao Sheng, this is what your father and I gave to your brother, you keep it for yourself, even if you rent it out, you will have the money yourself.
Xiao Sheng, your wife has money in her hands, you have to find a way to let her take it out, so that she won't have two hearts and live a good life with you.
He didn't think it was necessary at the time, but his parents insisted, and when they got married again, he didn't say anything more.
The house they live in now has always been his mortgage, 3,000 a month, and the rest is her own pocket money, and her salary is responsible for supporting the family.
No one expected that his father suddenly became terminally ill, he was very depressed, and the family's money was only enough to live on over the years, and there was no savings at all.
He discussed with Xu Nan, and he knew that she had a deposit of 100,000 yuan, 40,000 yuan was her dowry, and 60,000 yuan was left to her when her mother died.
After Xu Nan heard about it, he gave him 100,000 without hesitation, which made him very happy.
He gave 100,000 yuan to his mother and said: Mom, you see I have said that Xu Nan has not had a complete home since she was a child, in her heart, what she longs for most is the affection of her family, and she doesn't care about anything else.
Mom smiled at the time and said: Xiao Sheng, we all know that Xu Nan is a good child, you have to treat her well in the future.
But now when she still needs money, she doesn't want to, how can she do this?
My brother has a suite, but that's what he wants to get married, my brother is old, and he hasn't worked out a few girlfriends, and his parents have been very anxious.
Li Sheng was lying on the sofa, rubbing his brows tiredly, his house could never be sold, and what his parents gave him at that time was a new house, how could it be sold.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Sheng felt that it was the most cost-effective to sell Xu Nan's house, their current house was half of hers, what did she have to worry about.
When Xu Nan went to work, she couldn't concentrate, she didn't know what to do?
At noon, she went to the kindergarten and begged the dean to let Zhifei wait for her at the doorman, but the dean was very unhappy, saying that if something went wrong with the child, the kindergarten could not take responsibility.
Xu Nan begged the dean for a long time and said a lot of good things, but the dean saw that she was really difficult, and finally sighed and said: Okay, then you must communicate well with the child, don't let him run around, otherwise I can't help it.
Xu Nan pursed her lips vigorously and kept nodding her head, thanking the dean for giving her this convenience.
After coming out of kindergarten, she went to the house left by her mother, and the house was a second-hand house at that time.
Open the door, the inside is very clean, the decoration is very warm, this house has been rented to a small couple a few years ago, they love to be clean, every place in the house is the shadow of their own hand.
They bought a new house last month, and then they happily moved out, and these things in the house were not needed in the new home, all of them were kept, and she undercounted their two months' rent, and everyone was happy.
She sat in front of the window, as if she could still see herself at home alone doing her homework, and her mother came back late, and she often listened with her ears to distinguish which footsteps belonged to her mother.
Li Sheng slapped her, this is something she never expected, she married him back then, just because he was honest and gentle and considerate to her, but now, what is it.
He said that if he didn't sell his house, he would divorce, did she want a divorce? The family didn't sell their house, they only thought about the house in her hand, and she felt that they were too calculating.
This suite was left to her by her mother, and when her mother was about to die, she took her hand and said: Nan Nan, my mother is no good, my mother has worked hard all her life, and there is nothing to leave for you.
She cried and held her mother's hand, and her mother said with difficulty: Nan Nan, don't cry, now that you are also married, your mother can rest assured.
Nan Nan, put the things in the bedside table in my room, you go and get them yourself.
Nan Nan, although our house is small, it is also a place where you can settle down, you must keep it for yourself, and it can be regarded as leaving a way back for yourself.
She cried for her mother to rest, and shouted for the doctor to save her mother, but her mother still went, and she finished her funeral and went to the house to clean up her things.
In a box, there is the house book of the family, as well as a card and a will notarized by the mother.
The house and the card were left to her by her mother, and there were 60,000 yuan in the card, and she and the original mother gave her 40,000 yuan and put together 100,000 yuan to save it for a fixed term.
When her father-in-law was sick, she had already taken out 100,000 yuan and gave him all the money her mother left for her emergency treatment, but why were they still not satisfied.
She is very sad, she really wants to give her son a complete home, but she can't do without a bottom line, she will never sell this house, absolutely not.
Thinking about the slap she received last night, she felt as if it was still in pain, and there was still that burning on her face, and when she thought of this, tears couldn't help but flow.
When she was 5 years old, her father abandoned her and her mother and kicked them out of the house.
Her mother took her for a long time and rented a small house in a very remote corner.
There were no beds in the house, only a few very dirty cardboards, which my mother stacked and laid out, and my mother fell asleep with her in her arms.
The next morning, my mother locked her in the house and said: Nan Nan is good, my mother went out to find work, otherwise we will have no food, and we will be kicked out if we can't pay the rent at that time, you play alone in the house, okay?
When her mother was gone, she sat alone in the house, looking out of the small window, and many people came and went, and if anyone looked into the house, she hid.
Later, my mother found a lot of waste paper and some pen tips, so that she could learn to write and draw on paper.
Nan Nan is very lonely, her mother went out very early, and only came back after dark, she was alone in the house all day, sleepy and sleeping on a small bed supported by hardwood, hungry to eat the steamed buns left by her mother, sometimes meat buns.
She was too young to go out, and her mother locked the door outside the door, and the greatest pleasure for her was to look through the window and watch the people walking by outside.
Later, when her mother sent her to school, she was so silent that she hardly dared to talk to her classmates, and she stumbled over reading textbooks.
The teacher was very unhappy and asked her mother to go to school, but her mother was too busy and she didn't have time to ask for leave, so Nan Nan was punished by the teacher to stand outside the classroom.
When I returned to the rented small house in the evening, my mother hugged her and cried, saying: Nan Nan, I'm sorry, it's all my mother's fault, I will apologize to the teacher tomorrow, please don't blame you, we Nan Nan also have to work our own and study hard.
She looked at her mother a little blankly, her classmates had all gone to kindergarten and learned a lot of knowledge, but she didn't, she had been alone in the house all the time.
Later, because of a new teacher in the class, she was very young, with a high ponytail and a sweet smile.
In Chinese class, Nan Nan was called up by the teacher to read the text, but she stumbled and couldn't read at all, she was afraid that the teacher would scold her, and her whole body was trembling with fright.
Teacher Le didn't scold her, smiled and said: Don't be nervous, follow the teacher, okay?
Looking at the teacher's smiling face, she followed the sentence by sentence, not so nervous, and she suddenly felt that learning was not so difficult.
After class, Teacher Le said: Nan Nan, go home and read aloud, and you won't be afraid if you are familiar with it.
She and her mother lived in that cottage until she was in her third year of junior high school, when her mother pooled money to buy this small house, and she couldn't have been happier.
She walked around the house and said excitedly: Mom, we finally have a home, it's great.
Mom said, "Yes, let's go out to eat skewers of incense in the evening, and we both have a good celebration."
Thinking of this, Xu Nan couldn't help crying, she missed her mother, she had always been ashamed, she felt that her mother was just too tired, so she suddenly died of illness.
After graduating from junior college, she found a job in her current company, and her salary was only more than 2,000 at that time, but she was also very happy and felt that she could support herself and her mother.
In those years, my mother was still working, and she wanted her mother to rest at home, but my mother said: Hehe, no, I have to earn a dowry for my Nan Nan.
Many people in the company introduced her to the object, but she always felt insecure about the same as her, and later met Li Sheng, and felt that he was stable and considerate, although he said that there was nothing to marry, he still insisted on marrying him.
Xu Nan shook her head, feeling that she was too naïve at that time, maybe she was too lonely when she was a child, she longed to have a warm home after she got married, and it didn't matter if she suffered together.
After Xu Nan went home in the evening, Li Sheng hadn't come back yet, she didn't want to cook, so she cooked a bowl of instant noodles and had a makeshift meal with her son.
Li Sheng saw her lying down playing with her mobile phone, and her son was running around the house, saying: Xu Nan, what do you mean by this? Do you really want to divorce me, aren't you afraid that your son will be the same as when you were a child?
She looked at him and said, "Don't be afraid, I have a job and a house, although it is a little small, it is enough for our mother and son to live."
Li Sheng: Nan Nan, we are not young, the children are so old, can you not be so willful, my mother understands us and doesn't let us go to the hospital to take care of us, then we should also show filial piety.
Nan Nan, let's sell your house, take 100,000 yuan to my dad for medical treatment, you can save the rest of the money, and you can pay off the mortgage in advance, anyway, it's all used at home, don't you say?
Xu Nan nodded and said, "Okay, then you give me your house, I definitely don't have any opinion."
Li Sheng's eyes widened, he looked at her in disbelief, and said: Xu Nan, don't be too much, it's my parents' house, why are you so greedy?
She smiled and felt that Li Sheng was really a typical double standard, she regretted giving him her 100,000, and if she wanted a divorce, she must come back, because he didn't deserve her to be so good to him.
She looked at him and said: Li Sheng, I will never sell that house, and it's okay if you want to divorce, but the 100,000 yuan is my own money, you'd better give it back to me.
Li Sheng: Xu Nan, are you thinking too much, that's our family's money, why did it become yours alone? You think the court is opened by your family, and you can do whatever you want?
Xu Nan: Li Sheng, you should know that I am in financial work, do you think I will have no records for such a large sum of money? As long as I can prove that my mother left this money to me alone, it is mine, and it has nothing to do with you.
Li Sheng, now I'll lend it to you urgently, don't forget to pay it back.
Li Sheng: Impossible, I don't believe it.
He stayed for a while and said: Nan Nan, let's stop arguing, live a good life, the money is for my father's medical treatment, let's not ask for it anymore, okay?
Xu Nan: Well, okay, your brother is responsible for the money for Dad's surgery, and I will spend my salary myself in the future, and you will be responsible for paying off the mortgage and household expenses, after all, you still have a house, and the rent is also the joint property of the husband and wife.
Li Sheng's face darkened, he didn't expect that her house was not sold, not to mention, but also for the family, it was really a loss to steal chickens and rice, and he felt that he was at a loss.
But what else can he do, he is this age, and he really can't divorce her, he doesn't want to run a family again.
He said helplessly: Nan Nan, from now on, I will give you 2,000 per month as a family, and you can make up for it if it is not enough, okay?
Xu Nan thought for a while and said: You give 3,000 a month, after all, it's not easy for me to save enough 100,000.
Li Sheng sighed and said, "Nan Nan, we are a family, is it necessary to calculate so clearly?" You've never been like this before.
Xu Nan: Yes, I used to be so stupid, I thought that as long as I paid, you would all thank me for my goodness, but I found that I was wrong, you will only think I am stupid, then I should figure it out.
Li Sheng is busier than before, he has to pay off the mortgage, he has to give it to his family, and he has to earn more money.
Xu Nan is very happy every day, although she still has to pick up the children and cook, but the hygiene and clothes at home are left to Li Sheng, she finds that in marriage, it is not that the more you do, the better.
She suddenly liked this kind of life.
Write at the end:Xu Nan did the right thing, in a family, you can't care too much, you can't ignore it, you have to have a degree in everything, otherwise you will definitely suffer, and you will lose yourself and your position in the family.
Women must not be moved by themselves, and when doing anything, they must consider others, but also themselves.
Xu Nan did the right thing, what do you think? Comments are welcome!
