High-quality author list My husband spent all his savings to buy a house for my brother-in-law, I don't cry or make trouble, and I invite the whole family to have a casual meal.
Admiring the in-laws and brother-in-law who were full of interest, the husband followed behind them gloomily, his face a little gloomy. I immediately understood that my husband had used up all his savings in order to buy a house for his brother-in-law.
My husband and I first met in the Southern Electronics Factory, and we were both working part-time at that time, and we gradually became familiar with each other because of our fellow villagers. Being in a strange place, we became the only familiarity with each other, so we quickly came together.
We were young, in our 20s, and we were doing the same work day after day in the factory, looking out at the bustling world outside. Eventually, it was hard to resist the ** outside, so we quit our jobs and decided to go out and about.
At the beginning, relying on our previous savings, we lived a free and happy life. However, as our savings ran out, we two young people with low skills returned to work in the factory in order to make ends meet. After a few months of indulgence, we realized that we didn't have the confidence to live that life, so we decided to work in the factory seriously.
Three or four years later, the factory closed due to poor management. At that time, the two of us had already saved more than 200,000 yuan, and considering that we were getting older and had not learned any skills outside, we decided to take the savings back to our hometown to see if we could start a business there.
When I returned to my hometown, my parents urged me to get married. They said that the daughters of relatives and friends around me were all married younger than me, and I was not around before, but now that I have returned, I have quickly completed the marriage to give them peace of mind.
My husband and I both feel that getting older and getting married has become a serious issue. After revealing the husband's situation to the parents, they expressed their desire that they would not need much bride price, as long as it was given according to the general standards. And this money, they insisted that I take it back and not keep it, just hoping that we can live well.
For the marriage house, my parents suggested that if you have the ability, you can buy it in the county seat, if not, you can get married in your husband's hometown first, and if you have more funds in the future, whether it is to buy a house in the county or renovate the house in your hometown, you can consider it. I am grateful to my parents for their understanding and support for these suggestions.
Before we dated, I already learned that my husband had a younger brother and that his in-laws were particularly fond of him. Although I understand that parents may have a preference for their children, just as my parents did for my brother, I didn't expect such an extreme situation, especially in my in-laws' house.
The first time I went to my mother-in-law's house, my father-in-law looked cold, sitting on the sofa and smoking, while the four dishes prepared by my mother-in-law were all vegetarian dishes. It wasn't until the evening when the brother-in-law came home that some meat dishes were added to the dinner table. At home, the in-laws' attitude towards her husband is even harsher, and it is his responsibility to cook and clean up the table after making him busy. I couldn't stand it, so I had to go over and help.
My husband's room was shady and cramped, with only an old-fashioned light bulb, in stark contrast to my brother-in-law's room, which was spacious and bright, and even had air conditioning. It wasn't until after we got engaged that I learned that part of my husband's salary over the years had been sent to his parents. They explained that if my son had a job, he should support his parents, but it was hard for me to understand why he should start supporting him before he was 50 years old. And the brother-in-law is only two years younger than her husband, but he has already asked his brother to let his younger brother, not to mention any three golds, hardware, change fees, etc., all of which I haven't mentioned.
Overall, the bride price we gave to my family was also part of my husband's previous savings. Although the in-laws claimed that they did not have enough money, considering that the brother-in-law would also be engaged, they hoped that the elder brother would be considerate and no longer mention issues such as three golds, hardware, and change fees. I was deeply helpless about all this.
It is the problem of the house after marriage, because the brother-in-law is not suitable for outsiders to live, the in-laws let the husband handle the marriage room alone. Later, my parents couldn't see it and found a relative's house for us as a temporary transition. If I had been able to stop my losses in time, I probably wouldn't have been in the predicament I am in now.
After we got married, my husband and I saved some money with the efforts of the two of us, rented a shop and opened a bun shop in the city. Because we pay attention to the freshness and quantity of ingredients, we have gradually won many repeat customers, and our business is gradually on the right track.
After about half a year, we were able to recoup our initial investment and start making a profit. For a better life, we are both full of fighting spirit. I remember on the last day of last year, we stood on the deserted streets, counting our savings and looking forward to the future. We are determined to work hard for another year and hope to own our own house in the same period next year.
With the house, we were able to welcome the baby. We have been through hardships and do not want our children to repeat the mistakes of the past. On that day, we were looking forward to a bright future together, and I remember each other's promises and hopes for the future vividly.
Until I went to my mother-in-law's house during the Spring Festival, my parents-in-law rarely cared about us. At the time, I felt that something was wrong, but I enjoyed seeing my husband's sudden concern for my parents, so I chose to remain silent. After eating, my father-in-law and my husband chatted to our steamed bun shop and asked how the business was, and I heard that I had made a lot of money recently. The husband didn't doubt his father-in-law's purpose, thinking that it was his parents' concern for his career, so he told the truth. I wanted to change the subject, but my husband continued to say that if everything goes well, we will be able to buy a house next year.
When the mother-in-law heard this, her face showed a hint of displeasure, and she said disdainfully, "What house are you going to buy?" Your brother is going to get engaged tomorrow, and the woman can be from the city, if there is no house, which girl can get married? You are a brother, if you don't pay some money at this time, will you wait until what year and month? The father-in-law also answered: "You are married, and you are not in a hurry to buy a house for a while, but your brother is different, if you don't buy a house for him, the daughter-in-law will not want to marry." ”
Hearing these words, a wave of dissatisfaction suddenly surged in my heart, why should daughters-in-law be divided between high and low? Are the people of the city amazing? Why bother my brother to pay for it? But what I didn't expect was that my husband actually agreed, and even planned to sell our bun shop and buy a house for his brother. This decision chilled my heart and made me disappointed in him.
My husband was willing to go bankrupt for my younger brother, I didn't want to be entangled, and I didn't want to be emotional, so I decided to gather the whole family for a "loose meal" after they decided to buy a house. At the dinner table, I unabashedly expressed my dissatisfaction with the partiality of my in-laws, the selfishness of my brother-in-law, and the weakness and foolishness of my husband. I resolutely declare that this is the beginning of our departure, and I don't care about the material conditions of their family, and I am not willing to passively accept unfair arrangements. I resolutely told my husband that I would go to the Civil Affairs Bureau early tomorrow morning to go through the divorce procedures.
