"My brother-in-law's family eats at my house every day, and my mother-in-law also favors them to live in. ”
It's the New Year soon, and I don't know if all the people from your hometown have come back.
In the past few days, when I went out to wander around, I obviously found that there were more people in the village and town, and when I passed by the door of many people's homes, I could see many people chatting around the fire.
I am also a woman who likes to be lively, and I think it is a very warm thing to get together with family and friends.
But at the end of this year, I changed, and I started to hate the feeling of having a lot of people in my family.
And the root of all this is caused by the fact that my brother-in-law's family lives in our house and stays here to eat every day.
Our family lives in the countryside, it is a self-built house, with a total of three floors, and it feels spacious and comfortable to live in.
The house was built last year, and although it is a rural house, it is not easy for ordinary people to build a three-story house without borrowing money and without the help of their parents.
My husband and I have been working outside for many years, and it was only last year that the house was completely built, the decoration was completed, and all the furniture and appliances were arranged.
This is why we have a warm home in this cold winter.
But this winter, in addition to us, my brother-in-law and in-laws also moved in.
I remember that in December this year, my mother-in-law came to our house and said: My brother-in-law's family will be back soon. This year, the market is not good, and the factory is closed, so I came back first,
After that, the mother-in-law went up to the second and third floors, looking left and right.
Looking at the two spare rooms on the second floor, the mother-in-law said: When Ah Jian and the others come back, these two rooms will be left for them to live in.
At that time, my mother-in-law said this, and my husband and I had no opinion, thinking that it was just a few days to come back and stay.
After all, the brother-in-law still lives with his in-laws.
didn't think about it, in mid-December, after the brother-in-law's family of three came back, they started to move the next day and moved all the things in their in-laws.
When they came over that day, I was completely confused, what kind of trouble was going on, and we didn't discuss it.
I asked my husband privately and dissatisfiedly why his brother's family of three came to live in our house without saying hello.
My husband also said helplessly: I don't know, my mother asked them to move things over.
Although I am dissatisfied with this kind of thing, because we are all a family, of course I can't show my emotions, I just want to find a chance to talk to my brother-in-law and them.
My brother-in-law has been here for a week, but I'm a little bored.
Mainly the brother-in-law and his wife, who slept until twelve o'clock at noon every day, and they were not willing to get up until I had made lunch.
After lunch, my little nephew watched cartoons, and the couple basked in the sun outdoors and brushed their phones, or walked around, leaving me alone in the house to wash the dishes.
During the week, my in-laws came over when they had nothing to do and occasionally had dinner with us.
A week later, my mother-in-law brought two pieces of bacon and a bag of greens.
After that, my mother-in-law said to me: Otherwise, I will eat with you in the future, this cold day, it is too troublesome for us two old guys to make a fire and cook, it is better to come and eat with you, it is also lively.
I resisted my mother-in-law's statement in my heart, but my husband, as their son, had no way to refuse it, so I had to greet him with a smile.
Since then, I feel that my house has become very crowded, and I have to cook for 8 people every day, and then I have to wash the bowls for 8 people.
Occasionally, I tried not to cook for a day, only to find that my brother-in-law and in-laws didn't cook as if they didn't know about it.
In this regard, I once complained to my husband at night: Why is the house we worked so hard to build now a large family living in?
This is our home, and I have to work and cook every day.
When my husband heard this, although he also thought I was hard, he could only sigh and say: No way, now that my brother and sister-in-law have moved in, I can't let them go, and it's not good for me to talk about it as an elder brother.
Why don't you finish this year first?
Seeing that my husband was in a dilemma, I had to go and talk to my mother-in-law about it in person.
I told my mother-in-law that my brother-in-law's family is here, which has seriously affected our normal life, so let them move back to the old house.
I thought that telling my mother-in-law about my troubles would at least bring me some comfort, but my mother-in-law meant favoring my brother-in-law's family.
Mother-in-law: It's nothing, a big family has to live together to be lively, so that they can be close and have feelings.
Me: But the times are different, my brother-in-law, they eat and sleep every day, sleep and go out to play, I work alone to serve all of you, I am very hard.
Mother-in-law: This is not the case in this place, in the past, there were three generations in the same house, four generations in the same house, and there was no such thing as a big family living together.
Otherwise, if you really think it's troublesome, then my father-in-law and I won't be here to eat tomorrow, just a few of you can eat.
After discussing with my mother-in-law to no avail, I had to go back to my room sadly and cry over the quilt.
At first, I thought it would be good to endure it, and after this year, they went out to work, and the family would be quiet.
But what has happened in the last half month has made me unbearable.
It's the New Year soon, and there are many people going home, and many of my uncle's friends have come back recently.
So I noticed that there were always strangers in the house, and I just walked in.
When I asked them what they were doing, they all said that they were looking for their brother-in-law, or they were looking for their brother-in-law.
Every day, a group of people sit in the hall of the house, making tea, smoking and chewing betel nut, making cigarette butts and betel nut residue all over the floor, and making loud noises from time to time.
These behaviors often make me feel tightness in my chest, as if I don't know where to vent in one breath.
What makes me most angry is that these people use the bathroom at home, and often the soles of their feet are very dirty, and when they step on the bathroom, they are muddy, and after they come out, they dirty the floor.
I have to do it at least 4 times a day.
Originally, I had been putting up with it, but an incident that happened a few days ago made me completely unbearable.
I went to the market to buy Spring Festival couplets, ate in the town at noon, and when I came back, I saw a scene at home, and the whole person was completely angry.
Before he entered the house, he heard the noise of the house, and when he entered the house, he found seven or eight men playing poker in the hall.
When I came in, I didn't feel surprised at all, and I didn't even say hello, thinking that I was someone's daughter-in-law who came to find her husband.
I ignored them, and instead went up to the second floor and followed the sound to open one of the unused rooms.
As soon as the door opened, it was found that there was smoke inside, the floor was full of cigarette butts, four people were sitting and playing mahjong, and five or six people were standing by and watching.
At this time, the little brother-in-law glanced at me and said with a smile: Sister-in-law, you are back, have you had lunch?
At this time, I was already angry to the extreme, but I still kept my senses, I didn't answer my brother-in-law's words, but glanced at the people around me fiercely with my eyes.
When I got downstairs, I turned off the main switch.
At this point, the men understood what I meant, and quickly threw down their cards and left.
That night, I didn't cook, and when I went to bed at night, I told my husband everything about the day.
My husband was also very angry when he heard it.
At this time, I said to my husband: You don't care, it's like this, you still don't want your brother to move out?
My husband still has an embarrassed face, thinking that it is not good to let others go a few days before the Chinese New Year.
I saw that my husband had this attitude, and I didn't say much.
When I got up the next day, I packed my things, took my children to town, and got in the car back to my parents' house.
By the time my husband realized this, I was already on my way back.
My husband hurriedly turned on the phone and asked me where I was going?
On the phone, I said: I took the child back to my parents' house, and I won't come back for the Chinese New Year, and I won't come back in the future.
My husband begged me on the phone to go back quickly, but I was also very resolute, as long as there were still so many people in the family every day, it was impossible for me to go back.
Until now, my husband still calls me three times a day to ask me to go back, but he doesn't say a word about my brother-in-law.
I really don't know what he thinks, it seems that he will celebrate the New Year at his parents' house this year.
