My name is Xiao Wang, my wife's name is Xiao Fang, we are ordinary workers, for the sake of fairness, we implemented the system after marriage. This means that the two of us each bear our own expenses, I pay the utility bills, my wife pays the rent, and the rest of the daily expenses are divided equally.
We've been married for two years, and we've been living like this all the time. Until one day, I accidentally saw my wife's bank statement and found that she would transfer 2,500 yuan to an unfamiliar account every month.
"Xiaofang, who do you transfer 2,500 yuan to every month?" At dinner, I couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, that's for my mother's living expenses. Xiao Fang replied without raising her head.
"Does your mother need so much living expenses?" I was a little surprised.
"My mother is not in good health and needs money for treatment. Xiao Fang looked up at me.
"But, according to our system, this money should be your own expense. It's so unfair that you spend so much on your own without consulting me, right?" I'm a little annoyed.
"My mother is sick in bed, and she needs money to treat her illness and buy medicine, so what's there to discuss. Xiao Fang also raised her voice.
"But you should also tell me, and we can discuss it. You're spending so much on your own, and you don't take me seriously. I stood up, emotional.
"I'm not doing it for my mother, why are you so stingy!" Xiao Fang also stood up and confronted me.
"Stingy, I'm just stingy, then why don't you give my mom so much money? I slammed the door in anger.
In the days that followed, I was very cold to Xiaofang and felt that she was too unfair. I also complained from time to time that she didn't care about my mother, and Xiaofang explained many times to no avail. The atmosphere between us grew stiffer and less and less talkative.
One day, Xiaofang couldn't bear it anymore, and we had a big fight.
"I'm fed up with you! My mom is like that, I don't care who else she can count on!" Xiao Fang yelled at me with red eyes.
"I didn't say I wouldn't let you take care of your mother, but you can't leave me and my mother alone. I also raised my voice in return.
"How can I leave you and your mother alone? My own money is spent on my mother, what else can I give to my mother?" Xiaofang said angrily.
"Then you should also discuss with me, we can find a way to take care of our parents together. Can I not be angry that you make your own decisions like this?" I slammed the table.
"I've explained it to you many times, and you just won't listen. Anyway, in your eyes, I'm at fault!" Xiao Fang's eyes were red, and she looked unbearable.
"Okay, you're right, I'm wrong. But you also have to think about our feelings, you can't just care about your own mother and forget me and my mother. I was also aggrieved.
"I really can't communicate with you! Why can't you understand my difficulties?" Xiao Fang's tears finally burst out of her eyes.
Seeing her crying, I also regretted a little, whether I had gone too far. But when I think of how much money she gives to her mother's family every month, I feel like I'm right.
"Forget it, you can do whatever you like, I can't reason with you!" I slammed the door again in anger.
Xiao Fang looked at the back of me leaving, and tears couldn't stop flowing. She felt really wronged and kept trying to take care of both families, but neither family was satisfied. She felt that I was inconsiderate of her difficulties, but she also understood my feelings. She thought there must be a better solution between us, as long as we could both communicate.
I'm actually very conflicted, I understand Xiaofang's difficulties, but I can't help but be angry when I think of how much money she gives her mother's family every month.
Later, a friend of mine advised me to go and see Xiaofang's mother, maybe things would turn around. I hesitated for a long time, but I still mustered up the courage to go to Xiaofang's mother's house.
Xiaofang's mother was already very sick, and when I saw her weak appearance, my heart immediately softened.
"Auntie, are you okay?" I asked softly.
"Hey, this disease has tormented me so hard, it's all thanks to our Xiaofang to survive until now. The mother-in-law said weakly.
My heart tightened, maybe I really misunderstood Xiaofang before.
"Auntie, it's really hard for you. Xiaofang is very good, but I misunderstood her before. I was a little embarrassed.
"How can it be said that it is a misunderstanding, I know that Xiaofang is also very difficult. It's not easy to take care of our two families. The mother-in-law sighed.
"I really blame myself, I shouldn't embarrass Xiaofang. I came to see you today to make up for my mistakes. I said.
"You don't have to blame yourself, young man, some tempers are inevitable, but I'm glad you came to see me. The mother-in-law smiled slightly.
I looked at her weak appearance, and my heart was full of self-reproach. I finally understand Xiaofang's difficulties, she is not skilled, and I shouldn't resent her for taking care of her mother.
"Auntie, I'm going to make up for all the living expenses of the past few months today, you must take care of your health, do you know?" I couldn't hold back my tears.
"Child, you don't have to blame yourself. I'm fine, the most important thing is for you to reconcile with Xiaofang. The mother-in-law also shed tears.
When I left Xiaofang's mother's house, my heart was full of remorse. I shouldn't have quarreled with Xiaofang over some money, I'm really too naïve. I decided to apologize to Xiaofang properly when I went home, and I must understand her better in the future.
When I got home, I saw that Xiaofang was busy in the kitchen.
"Xiaofang, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I walked over and hugged her.
Xiao Fang was a little surprised at first, but soon burst into tears, "I'm also at fault, I shouldn't make my own decision without telling you." ”
"Xiaofang, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I walked over and hugged her.
Xiao Fang was a little surprised at first, but soon burst into tears, "I'm also at fault, I shouldn't make my own decision without telling you." ”
"It's me who is not good, I shouldn't have quarreled with you because of money, and I beat you, I know it's wrong. I hugged Xiaofang tightly.
"I could have discussed it with you, but I was so focused on my mother's illness that I made the decision, and it was also my fault. Xiao Fang also hugged me.
"In the future, we must communicate more, talk about anything, and stop arguing over money. I choked up.
"Well, we all have to learn to understand each other and support each other, and that's what a couple should be. Xiao Fang also burst into tears.
"I went to see your mother today, she is really weak and needs money for treatment. In the future, I will pay for her medical expenses, so don't worry about it. I looked at Xiao Fang and said sincerely.
"Well, she is my mother after all, and I will try my best to take care of her. Let's figure out how to figure it out together, and don't push it all on you. Xiao Fang said resolutely.
"Okay, then let's take care of our parents together. We'll pay half of your mother's medical bills, and I'll visit her often. I nodded.
"Well, we face difficulties together, and that's family. Xiao Fang said with red eyes.
"I'm sorry, I drank too much during this time and hit you, I really regret it. I was full of self-reproach.
"I'm also sorry for you, because my mother snubbed you and quarreled with you. We're all at fault. Xiaofang was also guilty.
"It's okay, let it pass. Let's start afresh and cherish our relationship. I looked into Xiao Fang's eyes and said.
"Well, we must understand and support each other, and we can't get divorced because of some misunderstandings. Xiao Fang nodded.
"I promise I'll never quarrel with you again over money. I would never have a problem with the money you give your mom every month. I solemnly promise.
"I'll tell you everything about the family, and we'll make a decision together. No more making your own decisions. Xiao Fang also said sincerely.
We hugged each other and tears flowed uncontrollably. After this quarrel, we finally regained the feeling of being husband and wife. We will cherish each other, support each other, and live together.
Since then, I will visit Xiaofang's mother regularly and take care of her life as much as I can. Xiaofang no longer bears all the household expenses by herself, and we will discuss and make decisions. The issue of money no longer becomes a fuse for our quarrels, but rather makes our relationship stronger.
"Auntie, I bought some nutritional supplements, you can replenish your body more. "When I visit Xiaofang's mother, I bring some fruits and nutritional products.
"Hey, thank you for your hard work, our Xiaofang can find a good husband like you, it's really God's favor. The mother-in-law said with emotion.
"Yes, yes, we're already a family. I was a little embarrassed.
Xiaofang's mother's condition has also improved under our careful care, and she is no longer as weak as before. Xiaofang and I will also take her to the hospital regularly for physical check-ups.
"Eh, I see that my aunt has been in good spirits recently, is she much better?" Once when I went home, I asked Xiaofang with a smile.
"Yes, maybe it's because I'm in a better mood and I'm getting better faster. Xiaofang said happily.
"In the future, we will take my aunt out for a walk, bask in the sun, and be in a good mood. I said.
"Then let's take my mom to the park on the weekend. Xiao Fang proposed.
So on the weekend we drove my mother-in-law to the park. Watching her walk slowly in the park, with a long-lost smile on her face, Xiaofang and I were very pleased.
"Mom, with us here, don't worry, the most important thing is to recover slowly. Xiaofang helped her mother walk slowly.
"Yes, Auntie, with us taking care of you, you will definitely recover. I also walked over to my mother-in-law.
"With you two good boys here, I'm still afraid of this old bone. The mother-in-law said happily.
Xiaofang and I looked at each other and smiled, our hearts full of happiness.
We are very happy now. I will do my best to help Xiaofang share the family responsibilities, and I will not be so concerned financially. Xiaofang will also discuss the situation at home with me, and no longer bear everything by herself.
"Husband, Mom said she wanted to buy some new clothes, let's buy her some new clothes. One day Xiaofang said to me.
"Okay, Auntie's health is improving, and it's good to buy some new clothes to boost her spirits. Let's take my aunt to the mall for some shopping this weekend. I readily agreed.
So on the weekend, the three of us went to the mall. I watched my mother-in-law pick out clothes in the clothing area, and I was very relieved.
"Auntie, do you like this dress? I think the color suits you very well. Xiao Fang picked up a pale yellow shirt and compared it to her mother-in-law.
"Well, this fabric is very comfortable, I like it. The mother-in-law nodded and said.
"Then let's buy this, do you need any clothes?" I said.
"Just buy one or two, and don't want you to spend too much money. The mother-in-law was a little embarrassed.
"Auntie, you're welcome, buy it if you want, we will invite you to shop today!" Xiaofang said happily.
So, we bought a few more clothes, plus a pair of comfortable shoes. Seeing my mother-in-law's satisfied appearance, Xiaofang and I also felt very pleased.
"Thank you for your hard work, thank you for bringing me shopping. The mother-in-law said gratefully.
"That's what we should do, just be happy. I said with a smile.
"In the future, we will often take you out for a walk and bask in the sun, so that your body will get better quickly. Xiao Fang also said.
I was relieved to see my mother-in-law's smile on her face for the first time I hadn't seen in a long time. We used to quarrel over money, but now we can finally get along happily.
Back at home, Xiaofang excitedly took out the new clothes for her mother-in-law one by one. "Mom, try this outfit quickly, it must suit you very well. ”
"Good boy, I'll try. The mother-in-law entered the room with a smile.
When my mother-in-law came out in new clothes, Xiaofang and I both praised her for looking more energetic and younger.
"Auntie, the new clothes make you look so young!" I was amazed from the bottom of my heart.
"Mom, you're so beautiful in this dress!" Xiao Fang also said happily.
Seeing our happy appearance, my mother-in-law's face showed a long-lost flush.
