When I was single, my family made a great match for me and a girl from the same village. The girl was four years older than me, and she wasn't good-looking, which I really didn't really like. In this regard, the father hated iron and said: "The family is an only daughter, and the family has money, if you marry her and have children in the future, the father-in-law's money is not your money." ”
I really don't agree with my father's words, at that time I still had fantasies about love, and I really didn't want to marry for money, which was not only vulgar, but also boring. What's more, it depends on the woman's attitude, the woman doesn't agree, no matter how hard I try, I can't do it, I can't chase after others.
Later, in order to escape the pressure of my family, I ran to the city alone to develop, and I was lucky in those years, not only did I have my own career, but also made a lot of money. When I go home again, the situation is completely different, in the eyes of others, I am a successful person, and that girl, blind date several times failed one after another, has become a joke in the village after dinner.
Almost naturally, I was also arranged to go on a blind date with the girl. At this time, I don't have so many ideas, I think that as long as she treats me sincerely, I can get married. Over the years, she has also experienced a lot of things and matured a lot, and when she met me, she talked about very realistic things.
Within a few months of the blind date, we confirmed the relationship, and then we got married naturally. My father was very proud, not only found a daughter-in-law for me, but also a rich father-in-law. What's more, the girl was in high demand in the village, and I stood out among several suitors, which really earned him a lot of face.
After the marriage, I took my wife back to the city, and since the marriage was confirmed, I put all my energy into work. The family has money, and she doesn't need to go out to work, so she is idle at home every day, doing housework, and taking care of the children, which also saves my family a lot of effort.
This kind of life is really bland. I can't talk about love with her, there are no warm feelings, we are very plain together, eat together, walk together, watch movies together, nothing is like glue, but each other is very comfortable by each other's side, maybe this kind of blandness can make us live for a long time.
In those years, my father-in-law was very arrogant, looking down on our family, my father, and even more on me. Since I returned home, his attitude towards me and us has taken a 180-degree turn, not only speaking politely, but even taking the initiative to come and see us. When I discussed marriage with her daughter, he was also very supportive.
He seemed to be very satisfied with a son-in-law like me, and every time we went back to our hometown, he would always find me, have a drink with me, or buy us a lot of things, and transfer a lot of money to my wife. At first, I thought that the pressure of getting married would be even greater, but my union with her was not only not very stressful, but on the contrary, I got many benefits.
Now that I think about it, my father was really right, marrying an only daughter, not to mention anything else, financially, my pressure is really much less, not to mention that my father-in-law is still so rich, and it is not bad for me. But my father still always warned me not to get carried away, to treat my husband and wife well, otherwise I will lose what I get.
Based on my previous experience, this time I chose to believe my father's words. In the following period, I tried to be kind to my wife and father-in-law, buying the best cosmetics and skin care products for my wife, and buying all kinds of nutritional products for my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Soon, my efforts were rewarded, and my father-in-law's family was proud of me, and often said good things about me in my hometown, saying that I was capable and filial, and that I bought enough food for them for two years.
In this way, I have a closer relationship with their family. Even so, I feel very awkward, as if I am good to them for money, but sometimes I am also very calm, think about it carefully, my wife is such an honest and introverted person, it is really boring to be with her, and my husband is so snobbish, with these people, if I don't want to do something, I may not be able to say anything.
Although his wife is honest, his father-in-law is very shrewd, no wonder, he has worked hard from scratch for so many years, but he only has one daughter, and his huge family business is going to follow someone else's surname, can he not guard against it? Although we both had a good relationship and were smiling at each other, I could feel the gap between me and him.
This estrangement, like an impenetrable wall of air, you can't see it, but you can clearly feel its presence. Sometimes I told my father about it, and he told me with a smile; "It's normal for people to be wary of you, don't worry, you just continue to be so good to him, and it's all yours from now on. ”
Later, my mother-in-law passed away, and in order to please my father-in-law and wife, I pretended to be very sad and said a lot of warm words to my father-in-law. He pretended to be moved. Actually, we all know it, he knows that I am pretending, and I also know that he is pretending, but we don't find it.
After the mother-in-law left, the wife was heartbroken, but the father-in-law looked happy, in fact, it is understandable, after all, he is so rich, his wife is gone, he can find another wife, and the two of them continue to live happily. But in my heart, I was inevitably worried.
If he finds a wife, marries her, and is coaxed by that woman to give away the money later, what will our family do? I simply told my wife about it, my wife is very honest, she has always listened to me, after I finished speaking, she also began to worry, we discussed, decided to take the father-in-law home, so that we live by our side, there will be no accidents. The old man moved over happily, but his arrival not only did not make us feel relieved, but made us more sad.
The old man is the kind of person who is very lively and outgoing, and there is a hint of strength in his easy-goingness. This kind of person is very open socially, so he has many friends, and outsiders also think that others are good. But as soon as he returned home, he seemed to be a different person, not to mention the strong desire to control, and seemed to be dissatisfied with anything.
He doesn't allow us to play with our mobile phones during meals, and we can't even look at them, which is called "protect our eyes", but sometimes, he is watching it himself. He doesn't allow us to move too much when folding quilts, otherwise we will fan up a lot of dust, but isn't it just to have movements?
At first, I thought he was joking with us, but later I found out that he was a compulsive mentality, anyway, no matter what, he had to do it his way, and if he didn't, he would lose his temper. Of course, he didn't dare to lose his temper with me, firstly, because I had a good relationship with him and paid attention to maintenance, and secondly, I was also very powerful, and it was really not cost-effective to provoke me.
Therefore, he vented all his anger on his wife and son. Although he is the father of my wife and the grandfather of my son, he has the right to do what he wants, but it is too much for me to accept. For example, one time, when our family was eating, my father-in-law drank too much, so he had to ask his son to stand up and listen to him, which was more than half an hour, and he was not allowed to sit down to eat, or even to look elsewhere.
In the end, the wife finally couldn't stand it anymore and reprimanded the old man, and now the child was finally able to eat well, but the old man was not satisfied and began to quarrel with his wife. My wife was already very honest, and when she was disciplined like this, tears flowed down at that time, and I looked at this scene, I really felt distressed, and quickly played a round.
There are many times like this, and he is like an overlord outside. After a long time, not only my wife and children, but also my opinion of him is also very large, and he also knows that he is a nuisance at home, so he often goes out. The old man goes out early and returns late, rarely goes home, I heard that he met a few aunts outside, and I don't bother to take care of it, as long as he doesn't marry them, he can make trouble.
In the blink of an eye, my father-in-law has been living with me for almost two years, and in the past two years, we have been raising him, he has his own money, but he spends it for himself, and we don't bother to care, how much money he can spend again. What's more, he's a cloudy person, as long as you don't quarrel with us, anything will happen.
Recently, my father-in-law has begun to ask his wife for money frequently, and this money has even reached my head. At first, I thought he was trying to take advantage, but slowly, I realized that something was wrong with the other party. Sometimes he even asks us for money to buy a bottle of water, is this what happened to him?
I told my wife, and she went to talk to her husband again, and when my wife gave me the aspect, I suddenly felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, the wife said dejectedly; "My dad has spent almost 200,000 yuan in the past two years, and there are still hundreds of thousands of fixed deposits, and he can't take them out, and the rest is real estate. ”
I was shocked, he rented out several of his own houses, and he could collect rent every year, and we also gave him money during the New Year's holidays, he should be richer than us, where did the money go. My wife explained to me tremblingly, saying that most of them were given to the old man, and there were too many people who had experienced it in the past two years, and I was afraid that I would not come back.
After listening to my wife, I felt the world spin for a while, and finally calmed down. I suddenly thought, how can such a smart person as my husband throw money out easily, I guess, he doesn't get along well with us, and would rather give the money to outsiders than to his family, I understand, I know, I must send him away, this kind of person to stay in our house, it is also in vain trouble.
