Narrated by Aunt Liu.
I am 68 years old this year, they all say that raising children to prevent old age, I was blessed when I was young, married into the old Liu family for a few years, and my stomach did not move, and then I finally got pregnant, but gave birth to a daughter.
At that time, family planning was tight, and the family could only have one child, and after giving birth to a daughter, she was not less blinded by her mother-in-law.
Fortunately, my daughter was angry, was admitted to university, and found a more decent job, and later my daughter was introduced to her son-in-law, and I was also very satisfied with this son-in-law.
People say that a son-in-law is half a son, and after my wife dies, I pin my hope for the elderly on my daughter and son-in-law.
After I retired, my son-in-law and daughter invited me to move in with them.
But half a year after I moved, I found out that it was a deliberate conspiracy.
The daughter's house is not big, more than 80 square meters, two bedrooms and one living room, the daughter has two children, Dabao is a girl at the age of 8, and Xiaobao is a boy at the age of 5.
So, during the period when I moved in, I have been living with Dabao, my daughter and son-in-law are busy at work, I take care of Xiaobao every day at the same time, but also responsible for picking up Dabao to and from school, usually when the child sleeps, I help clean up and cook.
Although it is very hard every day, for the sake of his daughter, no matter how hard and tired it is, it is worth it.
One day, I chatted with my daughter after dinner, and my daughter said, "Mom, you see that my father has also passed away for three or four years, do you consider finding another wife?" ”
I thought my daughter was joking, so I didn't take it to heart, and said with a smile: "you, the stinky girl is not big or small".
Later, my daughter always mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally, and I shirked the matter of finding a wife, and my daughter saw that I had a firm attitude, so I didn't mention it in the future.
I noticed that something was not quite right with my daughter, but I didn't think much about it.
On Mother's Day, my daughter and son-in-law came back from work early and said to me, "Mom, you take care of the family every day, you have worked hard, and today is the holiday, take you out for a big meal".
When I came to the restaurant, my son-in-law ordered a large table of dishes, and when I was eating, my daughter suddenly took out a gold bracelet and said to me: "Mom, you have been tired of helping us take care of the children during this time, and this is your son-in-law's filial piety to you."
I took the bracelet, tears were about to fall, I was relieved and moved, thinking that this daughter was not raised in vain.
Who would have thought that all this was in the calculations of the daughter and son-in-law.
In the next few days, when my son-in-law came back from work, he always discussed with his daughter about his colleague's house and his friend's house for a big house, and always said that his house was too crowded and he wanted to change the house, but he was under pressure or something, and I listened to it on the side, and I always felt that it was said to me.
Coupled with the recent attitude of my son-in-law and daughter, who invited me to dinner and bought me bracelets, it made me feel that something was wrong.
Later, I couldn't help it, so when my son-in-law was not at home, I pulled my daughter over and asked her, "Say, what's the matter with you husband and wife?" ”
The daughter smiled and said, "Mom, you are still smart, you can't hide anything from you, this is not Xiaobao, and he is about to enter the first grade, and you also know that there is definitely not enough room at home."
And Dabao can't always live with you, so we want to change to a bigger house, but we don't have enough money and are still short of 500,000, so I want you to sponsor us a little."
I responded: As a parent, my daughter should help you, just say it directly, why bother to beat around the bush and be courteous to me."
However, I only have a pension of more than 100,000 yuan, and it is not enough to take it all out."
At this time, I still didn't understand the true purpose of my daughter and son-in-law.
My daughter took my hand: "Mom, don't we still have a small house of more than 60 square meters in our hometown?" I inquired, can it be sold for more than 500,000 yuan, anyway, you don't go back to live, sell it, we change the big one, you can live comfortably, right? ”
As soon as I heard it, it was the idea of beating my house.
I shook off my daughter's hand: "What about you two conspiring against me?" Have you thought about it for me? Your home has never been my home, and if one day my son-in-law won't let me live here, where will I go? Isn't it homelessness."
The daughter hurriedly said: "Mom, you think too much, but you are my own mother, how can I calculate you, besides, this is your home, how can I drive you away."
The more my daughter explained, the more uncomfortable I felt.
I finally understand now that my daughter and her daughter asked me to come because they had already beaten me up for the idea of the house, and I said, I was courteous to me, and bought me gold bracelets, and it turned out that all this was in calculation.
I can't help but think that my daughter introduced me to my wife before, is this also their calculation, I don't dare to think about it anymore.
I said to my daughter with a cold face: "In the future, you will live yours, I will live mine, you don't fight the idea of my house, I can't sell this house, you should not have my mother, I should not have you as a daughter."
I bought a train ticket back to my hometown that night.
Every parent wants their children to live well, as a child can directly tell their parents when they encounter difficulties, parents will definitely do their best to help their children, but they can't calculate their parents, which will only make people feel cold.
Do you think Aunt Liu's approach is right?
