I bought a house for my daughter for 1.2 million, and my in-laws questioned me about my son, and I sneered and said one thing, and they left in disgrace!
My name is Lin Wan, an ordinary housewife in a third-tier city, and I have a daughter named Xiaohui who is in junior high school. My husband Li Hao and I have been married for ten years and have been living with my in-laws, although our life is ordinary, it is also harmonious. However, a recent incident caused an uproar in our family.
In order to improve my daughter's living environment, I took out my savings for many years, plus borrowed money from relatives and friends, to raise a total of 1.2 million yuan to buy a school district house for my daughter. I thought this was a good thing, but I didn't expect it to cause dissatisfaction from my in-laws.
That day, I came home with the purchase contract and joyfully announced the good news to my family. However, I was taken aback by my in-laws' reaction. They kept a straight face and asked me why I was buying a house for my daughter, but I didn't care about my son. I was stunned and couldn't understand why they said that.
I explained that my daughter was in junior high school, which was a critical time and needed a quiet and comfortable learning environment. Moreover, this house is also a school district house, which will also help my daughter go to school in the future. However, my in-laws didn't listen to my explanation at all, and blindly accused me of being unfair and partial to my daughter.
I feel very aggrieved, I have been doing my best to take care of my family over the years, and I am also filial to my in-laws. However, they were prejudiced against me because of this. I tried to communicate with them, but they didn't listen at all, and the more they talked, the more excited they became.
That's when I suddenly remembered something. I sneered and said to my in-laws, "Do you really think I don't care about my son? Well, I'll tell you about it now, and I'll show you how I manage it! ”
I took out an insurance contract and handed it to my in-laws. Puzzled, they took the contract and looked at it. I said calmly: "This is the life insurance I bought for my son, and the sum insured is as high as 2 million. If there is an accident for our son in the future, this insurance can provide enough financial support for our family. ”
After reading the contract, the in-laws' faces suddenly turned pale. They obviously didn't expect me to make such an arrangement for my son. I went on to say, "I bought a house for my daughter for her future; I bought insurance for my son, also for his safety. I'm not biased, I just make different choices based on the needs of each child. If you really care about your children, you should understand my good intentions. ”
My in-laws listened to me and were silent for a long time. Eventually, they left the living room in a gloomy manner, without mentioning it again. I know they don't really understand my intentions, but at least they don't interfere with my decisions anymore.
This incident made me deeply aware of how important communication and understanding are in the family. We should not be prejudiced against our family members because of some superficial phenomena, but we should take care to understand their thoughts and needs. Only in this way can we create a harmonious and happy family together.
Now, my daughter has successfully moved into the new house, and her learning environment has improved dramatically. And the relationship between me and my in-laws has also been re-examined and adjusted because of this incident. I believe that as long as we can be honest with each other and understand each other, our family will definitely get better and better.
