Xiaoli's mother-in-law unfortunately passed away in the first half of this year, because she was busy at home, she never bothered to go back to her parents' house to see. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the daughter who marries out according to the custom will definitely go back to her parents' house to give a gift. So Xiaoli started to prepare gifts very early, and planned to call her husband back when she was on annual leave.
Xiaoli's husband was very unhappy when he saw his wife buy so many gifts, how much does it cost? Don't know if your family is in financial difficulties right now? His mother started to get sick and was hospitalized last year, and spent more than 100,000 yuan inside and out, but unfortunately his mother had a bad disease, and he spent so much money and didn't keep anyone in the end. Then it took more than 100,000 yuan to mourn for his mother, and the family was almost emptied, and it has not been relieved until now.
So, Xiaoli's husband deliberately asked Xiaoli what she was buying these things for? Xiaoli thought that her husband really didn't understand, so she smiled and said: "I haven't been back to my parents' house for almost half a year, and I have been missing my parents for a long time." I thought that I couldn't go back to the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, so I will give more gifts this year. By the way, when are you on vacation, let's go back together when the time comes. ”
Xiaoli was stunned: "What do you mean?" Why can't you go to relatives for three years, why haven't I heard of it? Even if there is such a statement, then forget it if you don't leave your relatives. But my parents are my family and not relatives, can't I go to see them? ”
Xiaoli's husband explained seriously: "The water spilled by the married woman, the married daughter has been related to her mother's family since ancient times. ”
Xiaoli was a little angry: "Nonsense! What age is the water that has been spilled, and now that men and women are equal, I have the obligation to be filial to my parents. Okay, if you don't want to go, don't go, I'll go back myself. ”
Hearing this, although Xiaoli didn't believe it, she still secretly called her parents and told her about it. Xiaoli's mother smiled: "There used to be this saying, but it was all old feudal, and no one mentioned it for many years." I didn't expect my son-in-law to believe this at a young age, and even I didn't believe it. ”
Xiaoli was also very embarrassed, so she hurriedly staggered the conversation, and talked to her mother about something else, so she hung up**. Xiaoli understands that her husband is reluctant to spend money and deliberately fools himself. Hum! It's too much.
So Xiaoli deliberately said to her husband: "Since you said that it is not good to leave relatives this year, then I will not go back to my parents' house." However, the Boxing Gift can not be given, and the filial piety money cannot be withheld. Look, how about transferring 10,000 yuan to my parents? ”
Xiaoli's husband was taken aback, 10,000? It's better to let your wife go back, after all, it doesn't cost so much money to buy gifts. And the parents-in-law will not accept all the gifts, at least half of them will be returned, and they will also give their grandchildren a red envelope for the New Year, so it is cost-effective to go back.
Xiaoli's husband rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Alas, I'm joking with you, how can I not even go home for the New Year?" Actually, I miss my parents too, you wait for me to have a holiday, let's take the children back together. ”
Xiaoli sneered: "Don't, you still don't go." Your mother just died, you have bad luck in you, don't go out and annoy people, I'll just take the children myself. Oh, your mother is gone, presumably you don't have the heart to celebrate the New Year, then this year my child and I will celebrate the New Year at my parents' place, you can stay by yourself. ”
Xiaoli's husband was silent, he saw that his wife was really angry, and he didn't dare to refute it, so he could only agree. Alas, it seems that he is going to spend the New Year alone this year.
