Especially since the young couple is not the lazy, trouble-making spendthrifts. They both have formal jobs. How happy would their parents be in other people's families? But she is still not satisfied. She wants a good family without causing chaos.
Lan Xu put his daughter Lan Tingting down, looked at his mother who was rolling on the ground and said, "You said I didn't give you money? Think about it carefully, did I give you money?"
"Just give me a hundred dollars. How much do you make in a year? Just give me a hundred dollars. Can a hundred dollars buy a gold ring?"
Crowd Eaters A: "Yes, mine is only 40 bucks."
She flashed a tiny gold ring.
Zhang Guihua: “…”
"So you think your son doesn't give you enough money. That's simple. You can discuss it with your son and his wife. If their conditions allow, then ask them to give you more. There's no need to make a big fuss about it and even say you want your son and his wife to divorce."
"Yes, your son is young. Even if he gets divorced, he will definitely get married again. Can you guarantee that your remarried wife will give you the money? If you meet a powerful person, you won't be able to keep even a hundred dollars."
"Of course not. Don't think that one hundred dollars is too little. Ask around and see how many people can earn that much in a month by working so hard. Even if they can, would they be willing to give me one hundred dollars?"
"Auntie, you should be content with what you have."
"That's right. You don't look like someone who is short of money from the way you are dressed. What do you need so much money for? If you are really short of money, I believe your son and daughter-in-law will not ignore you."
This also gives them a stepping stone.
Zhou Jing expressed her position on the spot.
"When you really need money, we will give you as much as your eldest brother's family gives you."
"Oh, that's right. Big sister, your daughter-in-law is pretty good. They've said they won't let you down. They'll give you as much as your eldest son gives."
Zhang Guihua looked very unhappy.
But there are still nosy people who ask: "Sister, you complain that your son and daughter-in-law give too little, but is it because your other sons give too much?"
Everyone suddenly understood.
"How much did your eldest son give?"
How many hundred more?
Zhou Jing mocked, "Big Brother's family didn't give a cent, but she gave Big Brother's son a hundred."
ah?
Everyone was stunned.
Zhou Jing continued, "She wanted us to divorce. Money is secondary. She mainly dislikes me for not having a son. In her mind, only a son can carry on the family line of the Lan family, and the money should belong to her eldest grandson. Now that she sees that we are planning to buy a house near the school for our daughter, she is unhappy and that is why she came out to make trouble."
Zhou Jing spoke tearfully about her mother-in-law's partiality.
As soon as he found out she was pregnant with a girl, he began to persuade her to have an abortion.
"I was six or seven months pregnant, but they forced me to have an abortion. This was a death sentence for me."
"My husband was not at home at the time, so I hid at my parents' house to give birth and escaped."
"My husband is a seaman. He usually works at sea. He is always around when something happens. I thought that my mother-in-law would stay at home to help me take care of the children while I go to work, and we could get by. But I didn't expect that even after the child was born, she still didn't like it. Not to mention helping, it's good enough if she didn't scold me when she met me."
"The two families lived in the same unit, one upstairs and one downstairs. Sometimes when I was busy, I asked her to help take a look but she was unwilling."
"My eldest brother's son goes to primary school, and my daughter goes to kindergarten. The kindergarten and primary school are next to each other, so I thought that she would take my eldest brother's son to school every day. It doesn't matter if she takes one or two children. Since it's free to take the bus for such a young child, I asked her to pick him up and drop him off as well. But she said she was too busy.
She treated us like this, and I gave her a 100 yuan red envelope during the Chinese New Year, but she still wasn't happy. My eldest brother didn't give her a penny, and even asked her for money, but she spent it happily. Since you guys are asked to judge, then please tell us, is it right for a mother to behave like this?"
After listening to Zhou Jing's words, everyone realized that this woman was a male chauvinist and bullied her younger son and his wife not for herself, but to make money for her older son and grandson.
In this era, preference for sons over daughters is still quite serious, and many people think that there is nothing wrong with valuing grandchildren, and they can still understand this.
However, people would not agree to use the younger son's money to support the older son.
You are free to help your eldest son in any way you want, but you cannot take other people's money.
A son who is not favored by his parents is already depressed enough. I don't ask you to help, but don't hold him back.
Obviously, this woman is the kind of person who does not help and is a drag on her son, daughter-in-law and their family.
Lan Xu's eyes turned red after hearing this.
He only knew that his mother favored boys over girls, liked his eldest brother's son and disliked her own daughter, but he didn't know that she would go so far.
A few years ago, his wife complained to him, saying that she was too busy to handle both work and picking up the children.
He was also wondering why he didn't ask his mother to help pick him up and drop him off.
It turns out that I don’t want to do it.
His suggestion to buy a house near the school seems to be a good idea.
"Mom, you just don't agree with us buying a house next to the school, right? Humph, look at what you've done. Since you don't help pick up Tingting, of course we have to buy a house next to the school."
Zhang Guihua felt very embarrassed when her daughter-in-law said that to her face.
Now that her son had said that again, Zhang Guihua was furious, but she had no way to refute it.
After thinking for a while, he still shouted in haste, "What's wrong with me choosing my grandson? Before his death, your father repeatedly told me to protect the Lan family's incense. I took great pains to raise you two brothers and found you wives. Now that I have taken care of you, of course I have to protect my grandson.
Do you think I am partial? Ask yourself, am I really partial? Think carefully, when you were little, did I often let your elder brother give in to you? You are smarter than your elder brother, and you study better than him, so did I care about you more? When there was something delicious, did I give it to you behind your elder brother's back? "
This is true. When he was young, his parents were indeed more partial to him and always told his elder brother that he was younger and should be given more consideration.
At that time he didn't understand his elder brother's feelings, but now that his elder brother has become the one being favored, he is even with him.
"Okay, you think I owe you, Big Brother. So did I give you all the money I made before I got married? You said you would pay me back after I got married, but I've been married for several years, and you still haven't paid me back?"
Zhang Guihua: "Then it can be used to buy a house."
"House? You are so ashamed to talk about house. A few years ago, your and my father's units divided up houses, and our family was given two units. We needed additional money, so you just used the money I deposited with you to pay for it. I have the house, so just give me the money. I won't say anything."
But, my elder brother and I each have one house, he got one house for free, but I paid for two houses. If you really say that I took advantage of my elder brother when I was a child and owe him, then the money for that house is considered as my repayment to him, and I don’t owe him anymore. Mom, I want to buy a new house now, you have no right to stop me. "
