Approaching the Spring Festival, at the end of the year, Wu Li's aunt married her daughter. For this reason, their family held a grand wedding in their rural hometown. Dozens of days before that, they carefully informed their family, friends and neighbors, inviting everyone to join in the celebration.
However, on the day of her daughter's wedding, at the banquet that was about to begin, Wu Li's aunt did not see her four sisters and two younger brothers, nor did she find any trace of other family members.
Among his family's relatives, only his mother and second aunt came to attend the wedding.
Wu Li's aunt originally planned to ask her mother about the situation, but quickly changed her mind. She walked straight to the place where she recorded the favor book (the book in which the giver and the gift money were written) and looked through it when she found an opportunity. She was surprised to find that her four sisters and two younger brothers had already given gifts, because everyone's name was clearly written on the notebook, but this time, each sibling's family only gave 500 yuan.
Even her mother only gave 500 yuan.
She was a little angry about this. Because at the beginning of the same year, her younger brother's son got married, and her four older sisters and eldest brother all gave 5,000 yuan, while their family gave 2,000 yuan. A year has passed, and it is her daughter's turn to get married, and everyone only gave 500 yuan?
Wu Li's aunt thinks that her mother's family looks down on their daughter, and she also disdains their family.
So, she found her mother, who had come to the wedding banquet, and in a private nobody, angrily asked her mother if her siblings really failed to attend the wedding banquet.
Her mother nodded a little embarrassedly, "That, it's also a coincidence, your brothers and sisters can't pull out, so they all put the money into my bank card in advance, and let me help with the gift." ”
The reason for the old man's embarrassment was that she lied. She knew that her four daughters and two sons had time, just because no one wanted to come.
Moreover, several children unanimously stopped giving 5,000 yuan in gift money this time, and were only willing to pay 500 yuan; Her family originally planned to send 1,000 yuan, because she was worried that this would make her little daughter feel more uncomfortable with the practices of several siblings, so she followed and sent 500 yuan.
Don't have time to come? Don't even have time to come? If you look down on our family and our daughter, you can say it clearly, if people don't come, forget it, do you still need to take a gift of 500 yuan to humiliate us? ”
Wu Li's aunt complained angrily.
Her mother was also angry at once, and said to her: "The gift money is just to express a heart, isn't 500 yuan very little?" You go through your family's love book and see how many people have given more than or 500 yuan in gifts. ”
Hearing this, Wu Li's aunt said with annoyance: "It's not just about giving 500 yuan in gifts, I'm just very uncomfortable, before everyone gave gifts to each other in sisters and brothers was 5,000 yuan, before my son got married, they all gave 5,000 yuan, at the beginning of this year, the younger brother's son got married, and the four sisters and the eldest brother didn't each send 5,000 yuan, why did our family marry their daughters today, but they only gave 500 yuan?" ”
And they haven't come to the wedding feast yet, what do they mean? Isn't it clear that you look down on the daughter in our family? Or is it that my family has offended everyone in the past two years? I actually discussed using a gift of 500 yuan to humiliate me on my daughter's day? ”
When the old man heard Wu Li's aunt say these words, he was so angry that his body trembled a little because of the excitement.
Are you embarrassed to blame your siblings? Why don't you look for the reason in yourself? ”
The old man paused, swallowed his saliva and said: "In the past, when your sisters' families had big events, your family kept sending 200 yuan or 300 yuan, which time exceeded 500 yuan?" ”
Later, everyone's life is getting better and better, and the relationship between sisters and brothers has not changed, when your third sister's child gets married, your sisters and brothers have begun to give 5,000 yuan, and your family is 500 yuan. ”
The old man continued: "After less than two years, your son got married, and everyone considered that when your third sister's child got married, they would already give 5,000 yuan, so when it was your son's turn to get married, everyone didn't want to treat it differently, and they all gave 5,000 yuan, even if your third sister's family also sent 5,000 yuan." ”
But at the beginning of this year, your youngest brother's son got married, how much did your family give? Sent 2000 yuan. ”
In June this year, your second brother-in-law was gone, and it was the first time for her family to do something, and your family still only sent 2,000 yuan, and several other sisters and brothers took time to go back to their hometown to participate in the funeral and accompany and comfort your second sister. You clearly have time, but you think that you have to spend money for too long in the car, isn't that the case? ”
Tell me, this time your family married a daughter, why did your sisters and brothers send 5,000 yuan? ”
The more the old man spoke, the more angry he became, and he pointed to his little daughter and said, "You, this is chilling the hearts of my sisters and brothers." If you want me to say that they are willing to let me help bring 500 yuan in cash as a gift, it is okay. ”
What are you angry about? What's the big deal with your sisters and brothers at home later, you can send 200 yuan, 300 yuan at home, or simply don't send it? ”
Anyway, your family, in front of your mother's family, it is impossible to suffer in this life, what do you say you are still wronged? What else is there to be angry about? ”
After saying these words, the old man couldn't help but sigh.
She looked at her little daughter again, shook her head, and left.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but say, "If you have time, you might as well think about it, how your siblings have treated your family over the years?" How does your family treat you? ”
In fact, the old man still had too many things to say in her heart, because she felt that talking too much would be useless.
This little daughter of mine is okay in other aspects, but she and her husband are too calculating and stingy.
In the past many years, the youngest daughter's family, even if they took the children back to their parents' house during the Spring Festival, their family had to earn a lot of red envelopes from the families of several sisters and brothers.
For example, everyone gives each child a red envelope of 100 yuan or 200 yuan, but the younger daughter's family only gives 30 yuan or 50 yuan to other children every time.
After a long time, several sisters and brothers felt uncomfortable at home, and from then on, they simply avoided the old man's youngest daughter's house and went back to their parents' house to pay New Year's greetings.
Although there was this kind of small unpleasantness, everyone still did not alienate Wu Li's aunt's family at other times or in other aspects.
It wasn't until later that Wu Li's aunt only gave 2,000 yuan in gift money when her younger brother's son got married and her second brother-in-law died, especially when she was the most difficult time for her second sister, she clearly had the time and energy to go back to her hometown, but she made excuses that she couldn't get away, and when everyone later found out that she lied, they felt even more chilled.
Therefore, at the end of this year, although several sisters, brothers and family members have returned to their hometowns for the New Year, no one is willing to go to the wedding banquet organized by Wu Li's aunt's house.
The gift money given by everyone has also shrunk significantly, becoming 500 yuan.
That's it, it's still a few sisters and brothers who look at their parents' face, as well as that decades of family affection.
Otherwise, several of their sisters and brothers, even the 500 yuan that was disliked by Wu Li's aunt, would not be willing to give it away again. List of high-quality authors
