High-quality author list Aunt Yang: "Your younger brother is married, and you, as an elder brother, must pay for it." "Eldest son, why?
Aunt Yang is facing a major event, she is about to marry her little daughter-in-law, but she feels extremely heavy in her heart.
Aunt Yang has two sons, the eldest son got married 10 years ago, now has an 8-year-old child and runs a fast-food restaurant in town. The youngest son found a job in the city and has a college degree.
At present, the youngest son is about to enter the marriage hall, and the object is also working in the city. The future daughter-in-law made a request to buy a property in the city. Although Aunt Yang had already built a house for her youngest son in the countryside, considering that he worked in the urban area, Aunt Yang felt that their housing needs had to be met. In addition, young people are willing to live in cities today, which is also in line with the trend of the times. Therefore, Aunt Yang generously took out 200,000 yuan as a down payment to help her youngest son buy a two-bedroom house, and the couple took out the loan on their own.
The daughter-in-law also asked for a car so that she could travel between her parents' house and her mother-in-law's house in the future. This requirement also seems reasonable, after all, it has become a social norm to need a car and a house for marriage. So, Aunt Yang once again generously took out 100,000 yuan to buy a car. In terms of bride price, the woman is not demanding, but only requires that according to the current **, 80,000 is enough.
Although Aunt Yang tried her best to prepare for her youngest son's wedding, she was unable to let go of her heart.
Before getting engaged, Orange and her fiancé shop together to prepare for their wedding. They spent a fortune on engagement rings, jewelry, and clothing, including a diamond ring worth more than 8,000 yuan, a necklace and earrings worth more than 5,000 yuan, and a dress worth more than 5,000 yuan.
Xiao Cheng also thought that a gold bracelet was suitable, so he spent 20,000 yuan to buy it. However, when she reported these purchases to her mom at home, her mom reminded her that things to get married should come in pairs. As a result, Xiaocheng's mother had to spend another 20,000 yuan to buy an identical gold bracelet for her future daughter-in-law.
Xiao Cheng's mother began to feel a little worried, because there were also engagement banquets, wedding photos, weddings, etc., all of which cost a lot of money. However, she comforted herself a little in her heart, because she also had an eldest son who made good money. He runs a fast food restaurant in the town, and together with his hard-working and capable wife, their business is not bad, and they can earn more than 100,000 yuan a year. Aunt Yang thinks that they are still young and their children are young, so they should have a lot of savings.
So, Aunt Yang took some fresh vegetables and eggs from her own chickens to her eldest son's shop in town.
When she arrived at the fast food restaurant, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and the store was not busy. Aunt Yang saw her eldest son, but instead of greeting her as warmly as usual, she turned around and went back to the store.
Aunt Yang's heart sank, but she still followed him into the store. She put her things down and made her point straight.
Aunt Yang sighed: "My younger brother is about to get married, and the family's money is tight, as an elder brother, I should support it." ”
The eldest son wanted to speak and stopped, but was stopped by the eldest daughter-in-law. She said, "Mom, why don't you look for me?" We are all your children, and your partiality towards him is too obvious. ”
Aunt Yang feels that she has the same heart for her two children, but her younger son is frail and sickly and needs to be taken care of. She said angrily, "What do you mean by that?" ”
The eldest daughter-in-law smiled disdainfully: "When I got married, the house was built by myself, and the bride price was only 10,000, and the sum of the three gold was less than 10,000." Now look at my brother and sister, the house, the car, the diamond ring, the gold bracelet are all complete. ”
Aunt Yang defended: "It's not partiality, the times are different, the situation is different." ”
The eldest daughter-in-law scoffed: "Really? When I got married, the house was built with the money my husband earned from his part-time job, and the three golds and the bride price were all earned by him. The money spent on marriage was all his hard-earned money, and after getting married, he had nothing left in his hand. When my younger siblings get married, why do my family pay for it? ”
Aunt Yang was speechless, and after thinking for a while, she said: "The boss has the ability, now it is difficult to make money, and the younger brother works in the city, and the expenses are large." ”
The eldest daughter-in-law said disdainfully: "Since you haven't saved any money, why did you agree to the girl's various requests?" ”
Aunt Yang sighed: "Nowadays, it is not easy to marry a daughter-in-law. The woman didn't ask for much, so let's try to satisfy them. ”
The eldest daughter-in-law complained: "However, we can meet all the demands they make, so why do they ask us for money?" I remember when I gave birth to a child, I wanted you to come over to help watch the child, but you said that you didn't have time and were busy earning money for my brother to marry a daughter-in-law.
I was busy watching the children myself, and at the same time I had to assist Yang Yuan with things in the store, and you didn't come to help when I was sick. Later, the landlord wants to sell the shop, we want to buy it, and ask you to borrow some money, but you are worried that we will not pay it back, so you refuse. I had to go to my mother's house to borrow money. ”
The eldest daughter-in-law couldn't help but shed tears as she spoke, and after wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, she continued: "Mom, even if I give you money today, are you embarrassed to accept it?" ”
Aunt Yang didn't expect her eldest daughter-in-law to be so outspoken. She turned to her eldest son: "What do you think?" Do you also think that I treat my daughter-in-law unfairly? ”
The eldest son bowed his head and was silent, unwilling to face his mother, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I won't mention the past." After all, you are my own mother, and I don't want to say much. However, daughters-in-law are all the same, and you can't treat them differently. ”
Aunt Yang frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”
The eldest daughter-in-law explained: "We plan to buy a suite in the county seat and let the children go to school in the county seat. Our van was about to be scrapped and it didn't look good to drive out. I want to change to a car. ”
Aunt Yang stood up angrily: "What are you going to do?" I've been married for ten years, and I've long since separated, and I have to buy whatever I want, so I don't care about you for the rest of your life. ”
Aunt Yang hurriedly walked out of her eldest son's fast food restaurant, her heart burning with anger. She originally came to ask her eldest son to pay, but if she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have become the one who sent the money. I thought to myself, if I marry a daughter-in-law, I will forget my mother! In the past, the eldest son was so obedient, he went out to work after graduating from junior high school, and kept some pocket money for the money he earned, and remitted the rest to his family.
Since the eldest son started working, the family's situation has gradually improved. But now, my own brother is getting married, which is a big deal, and the elder brother doesn't even help. If you don't help, forget it, and want to take the opportunity to ask for money. The more Aunt Yang thought about it, the more angry she became, and suddenly realized that she was here to withdraw money today, and if she couldn't get the money, what should she do with her youngest son's wedding?
She turned around and went back to her eldest son's shop.
The eldest daughter-in-law went to pick up the children from school, and only the eldest son was alone. Aunt Yang was in a slightly relaxed mood, after all, there was no daughter-in-law here, so it was more convenient to talk to her son.
Aunt Yang saw that her son was back again, put down the work in her hand, and said with a smile: "It's back again, are you here to send us money?" Aunt Yang didn't get angry, but snorted, as if she was about to cry: "Eldest son, how obedient you were when you were a child, how much you listened to your mother's words, and the relationship between you and your younger brother is good, accommodating him everywhere." Marriage is a major event in your brother's life, can you watch your brother and your parents embarrassed? ”
Yang Yuan said with a straight face: "Mom, I'm just too sensible and obedient, which makes you feel like a bully." Since you were a child, you have been partial to your younger brother, all the good things are for him, and I do all the dirty work. My brother works in the city, and you always take good care of him, not only don't you want his money, but you also often support him. As for me, I went out to work after graduating from junior high school, and every time I came home, you told me to work harder, never asking me if I was tired or homesick.
I've given you all the money I earned, and you said I saved it for my wife. But when I got married, you told me that all the money was used to build a house, and my brother was still far away from getting married. You used the money I earned to build him a house, and you said it was fair. The bride price and jewelry that my daughter-in-law wanted, but you asked me to solve it myself. As soon as you got married, you bought your brother a mobile phone and a computer. ”
Aunt Yang said humbly: "At that time, your younger brother had just been admitted to college, can't you reward him?" He has all his classmates, and he can't be ashamed. ”
Yang Yuan sneered: "I've been like this since I was a child, and I don't care about it, but my daughter-in-law is not as easy to talk as I am, so don't expect her to be like me." ”
Aunt Yang defended: "You are the pillar of the family, and the family's money depends on you, you give some money to your parents, why does she disagree!" ”
Yang Yuan said helplessly: "Mom, we are husband and wife, and the money we earn is joint property, I will secretly give you money, how can I live?" Adoptive parents deserve it, but what about adoptive younger brothers? ”
Yang Yuan continued: "Mom, I am your own child, you can do whatever you want to me. But you have to be kind to my daughter-in-law and think more about the future. When you get old, do you expect your brother to take you to the city to retire? Don't you have to get close to us? You are not good to my daughter-in-law, when you are old, can she support me to raise you? My brother is an adult, and you can't always rely on others to marry a daughter-in-law, and you have done your best. Since he was a child, he has developed the habit of dependence, you don't stop now, do you plan to raise him for a lifetime? ”
Aunt Yang was speechless by her eldest son, pointed at him and said, "You, you ......."You! She walked away in a rage. Yang Yuan looked at her and shook her head helplessly, the old mother was hard-hearted, and she only hoped that she would not regret it in the future.
Aunt Yang began to borrow money from everywhere, and her family, relatives, and neighbors visited one by one and cried to them about her eldest son's unfilial behavior. But the borrowed money was scarce, and the eldest son's unfilial piety had spread throughout the neighborhood.
The eldest son and daughter-in-law were furious when they learned of this, feeling that their family had obviously been wronged, but they were said to be unfilial. So, they decided to go their separate ways and live their own lives.
