432 Thinking about the money of the parents-in-law
Tang Xu's wife was watching the sun, so she brought the children to visit her grandparents.
Now she would come to the two elders and try to please them.
Although I don’t know how much the two elders earn each month, I know it’s definitely not a small amount. They both have at least a hundred dollars, right?
If this money can be used to support my family, my life will be much easier.
In the past, I did help them with their daily life, but after my sister-in-law got divorced and came back, I offended her.
In fact, Tang Xu's wife also regretted it, and she had regretted it to the point of madness.
Who knew that this sister-in-law would be able to turn things around after the divorce? She didn't remarry to marry an old bachelor or widower to be someone's stepmother, but directly married a wealthy man!
But because she always gave her parents the cold shoulder after her divorce, she basically has no contact with her family now. Even if she does, it's just to maintain the surface.
Every year when Tang Xu returns to her parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year, her wife always entertains her warmly, but she has always been distant and polite.
In fact, if it weren't for her parents being around, Tang Xue would have been able to go back or not, and she wouldn't have needed to care about her sister-in-law.
When I was in trouble, you wanted to kick me hard. Now that I am honored, you want to curry favor with me?
That's sorry, I don't know who you are and I don't take you seriously.
Even for her two brothers, Tang Xue's impression was very general. She thought that everyone should just develop on their own and not worry about other things.
Let’s not talk about these for now.
For now, Tang Xu's wife can only do her best to make up for it, so she always brings the children over to play with the old couple.
The two elders would also stew a chicken for the child to nourish her, and she would drink the soup along with them. Also, if there were any stationery or something, the child would ask her grandparents for some money to buy it.
Aren’t these all expenses saved?
Because I brought the children here, I didn’t see my second aunt Tang. After asking, I found out that my mother-in-law had gone to Beijing for a trip?
Tang Xu's wife was stunned.
Uncle Tang ignored her. He still liked his grandchildren, so he arranged to stew the killed chicken.
They also gave each of us fifty cents to buy pencils, erasers, and other things.
Tang Xu's wife didn't care about this. After she realized what was happening, she immediately asked when this happened. Her mother-in-law and aunt went to Beijing for a trip. What if this thing was lost?
Uncle Tang calmly said that he had arrived in Beijing and called to report that he was safe.
When Tang Xu's wife heard this, her face became stiff.
But she still stayed to help entertain the guests. When she took the children back home, she asked Tang Xu about this matter when he came home from get off work.
Tang Xu knew it. He knew it last month.
I also know that Lin Dazhi's brother-in-law took 500 yuan to cover all the travel expenses for his mother and aunt.
But there was no need to talk about this. What was there to say? He couldn't give that much money. Even if he took out all his family savings, he would only have less than 300 yuan in savings...
In fact, it is not easy to save this money. The whole family depends on his salary. In addition to the daily expenses of eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, if the children occasionally have a cold or fever, the expenses cannot be saved much no matter how much he saves.
This money was saved with great difficulty.
But Tang Xu didn't think it was a big deal. Although the money was not much, it was enough to not starve. Life now was much better than when he was a child.
This actually has something to do with your mentality. Tang Xu is such a contented person.
He has a stable income from his job and was also allocated a welfare house. Although it is not big, it is still enviable.
He is actually not that bad. There are many people who are worse than him. If everything is so unbalanced, then wouldn't this society be in chaos?
And Tang Xu is a contented person.
Tang Xu's wife, however, had a lot of opinions.
But he didn't dare tell Tang Xu, because Tang Xu seemed easy to talk to and good-tempered, but he was not easy to mess with, and he was not used to her.
It would do her no good to quarrel.
This has been her experience over the years...arguing is completely useless.
She just didn't tell Tang Xu, but she couldn't help but go back to her parents' home and complain to her mother.
"You know that our life is not easy, but you are not willing to help us even though you have money. These are our own sons and grandchildren!"
I thought it was just kept, but I'll just keep it, as it will be passed on to my sons and grandchildren sooner or later.
So even if you don't support or help them now, it doesn't matter at all. When the two elders grow old, the money will still fall into their hands.
Just think of it as existing with the elders.
It turned out that these two old men actually started to spend lavishly!
Not only does she dress differently than before, my mother-in-law even got her hair done. She never had her hair done when she was young, but now she’s old enough to get one!
But forget it, it doesn't cost much.
But how much does it cost to travel to Beijing? I'm afraid everything in that place is extremely expensive, right?
Did I just work for nothing this year? Did I not save a penny of the money I earned this year?
Besides, we are going to the capital now, and this is just the beginning. If we continue to spend like this in the future, how many coins will be left in our pocket?
Her mother couldn't help but envy her, "She's really getting better and better as time goes by. She actually went to the capital. I've never even left my county in my life."
Tang Xu's wife said, "What's the point of going there? Isn't it just a waste of money? Our family lives in such poverty, and she still goes on a trip. Does she have any conscience?"
Her mother is a mother-in-law now, and she doesn't want her daughter-in-law to think about her money.
But in fact, there is no reason to say, "Your parents-in-law are not the same as they used to be. You'd better forget about the money in their pockets."
Tang Xu's wife couldn't help but say, "We are the ones who will take care of them in their old age. When they can't work anymore, who else can they rely on if not us?"
"Rely on their daughter." Her mother said, "Your little house is crowded enough for your family, how can they live with you? What are you thinking? Their son-in-law is so successful, wouldn't it be better for him to find someone to take care of him than to live under your roof?"
Tang Xu's wife gritted her teeth and said, "If you spend all your money, don't expect me to serve you in the future."
Her mother knew her daughter well, so she waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, they don't count on you. They know what kind of person you are after being married for so many years. Their attitude now is very clear."
Tang Xu's wife: "...Are you my biological mother? I came back to ask you for advice."
"What ideas do you have? Can you steal or rob? Your life is not bad, just live a good life with Tang Xu, but don't think so many ideas. Don't be like your father, or you will end up like him, with nothing in the end."
Tang Xu’s wife: “…”
My own mother almost made me vomit blood!
