Big Uncle, a worker with a height of 1.8 meters, works hard every day and earns more than 3,000 yuan a month. He was accompanied by a prominent sister-in-law, a doctor at a private hospital, who earned a considerable amount of money, although the exact number is unknown. The couple came together in their thirties, and the big brother's handsome looks and hard work were his labels.
The sister-in-law is busy with the doctor's work every day and often works night shifts, while the care of the nephew is mainly entrusted to the father-in-law and mother-in-law. The sister-in-law's salary card is held by her mother-in-law, while the eldest brother is responsible for supporting her nephew. However, this kind of life makes the life of the eldest brother seem tight.
When I returned home, the family of three spent more than ten days of summer vacation together. It was my mother-in-law's birthday, and in order to celebrate this special day, a dinner party of more than 20 people became inevitable. Although the cost of the dinner was less than 1,000 yuan, and the mother-in-law was given an additional 2,000 yuan in red envelopes, things did not go as smoothly as expected.
The red envelope was delivered to her mother-in-law in the morning, but mysteriously disappeared in the evening. My brother suddenly approached me and asked for a transfer on my phone. It baffles me, why does he need to borrow money from us? After he left, the pig teammates told me a shocking truth: it turned out that the red envelope had appeared.
My heart was full of dissatisfaction, in order to honor my mother-in-law's birthday, the hard work and money we paid were directly transferred to the eldest brother's pocket. This is obviously disrespectful to us, and what makes people even more angry is that this is not the first time. I decided to go with my pig teammates to find out the truth of the matter.
In a helpless tone, my pig teammates told me that the eldest brother's income was less, and the responsibility of taking care of his parents also fell on his shoulders. Watching the eldest brother silently dedicate himself to the family, we can't seem to blame him completely.
Still, the uneasiness in my heart remained. Back at my in-laws' house, I found that our living conditions were simply a kind of helpless patience. Even if we get married naked, we only have a quilt, two sets of sheets, pillowcases, and **. These seem to be the only belongings I have at my mother-in-law's house, and she will prepare some for us in both winter and summer.
Before the epidemic, the eldest brother had hoped to get a better job and increase his income through some connections. To do this, we raised 50,000 yuan, including the mortgage and car loan that my pig teammates and I were carrying. Even though everything didn't seem easy, we decided to support Big Brother. However, this time the plan did not work out, and our money was quietly shelved.
Recently, the eldest brother made a similar request, saying that the opportunity has come again. I reluctantly said to my pig teammates: "I didn't pay back the money last time, so forget it this time." "The eldest brother's distress is obvious, and his sister-in-law refuses to share the wealth even though he earns a lot, which puts him in a difficult situation.
Maybe I'm stingy, or maybe everyone has their own difficulties. In this family chore, our understanding and respect for each other becomes especially important. The life of the eldest brother may be difficult, but the old man should not be used as an excuse, mutual understanding is the key to solving the problem. What do you think of such family conflicts?
