Some people say that it is useless not to be so nice to the children of your siblings, and when you have a conflict with them, your nephews and nephews will firmly stand on the side of their parents. No matter how many things and clothes you buy them, it's useless.
Li Qin, who has always valued love and righteousness, did not take these words to heart. My nieces are distressed, so why should I pay attention to other people's eyes and opinions?
For Li Qin, it may have been a request from her parents to buy clothes for her nephews and nieces at first, but in the end, it has become a habit for her every Spring Festival.
Li Qin may not have expected that she would buy new clothes for her niece and nephew for ten consecutive years, and if she didn't buy them for a year, she would annoy her sister-in-law: Don't go back to your mother's house.

Before getting married, Li Qin had some savings in her hand, and her relationship with her brother has always been good, so every Spring Festival, she will take the initiative to buy New Year's clothes for her nephews and nieces.
At first, the sister-in-law was embarrassed, saying that she had broken the bank, and asked the two children to thank their aunt. The number of times I can buy it is too much, and my sister-in-law's family seems to be accustomed to it.
Occasionally, for a year or two, Li Qin was busy with work and forgot about it, and her mother called to remind her, and her sister-in-law also sent her the style of clothes she had been optimistic about for a long time, so that Li Qin could buy it as it was, saving time, worry and effort.
Li Qinna will work well and have a good income, even if she has a child, she is not stingy, and she bought it according to the style sent by her sister-in-law and sent it back.

Every year for the Chinese New Year, Lei has been buying New Year's clothes for his two nephews and nieces for ten years. Now my nephew is 10 years old and my niece is 8 years old. But after buying too much, Li Qin was also very unhappy.
The sister-in-law called on time every year to ask about the children's New Year's clothes, but she never considered buying a set for Li Qin's two children. Every time Li Qin went back to her parents' house, she said half-jokingly and half-seriously, her parents also advised her not to care, your brother and sister-in-law's economic conditions are not as good as yours.
Every time this happens, Li Qin can only hold back the dissatisfaction and grievances in his heart. Because she knows very well that once she says that she won't buy her niece's New Year's clothes, she may not even be able to enter her mother's door.
But this year, she made an exception and didn't want to buy it, because this year she and her husband's income have been greatly reduced, there is an extra mortgage, and her brother and sister-in-law have found jobs.
04
I thought that if I didn't buy clothes, my sister-in-law would be self-aware. But who would have expected that only two days later, her mother first called her and asked her why she hadn't bought New Year's clothes for her two children this year.
Li Qin couldn't find an excuse for a while, so he excused himself and said that he was a little tight on money and would wait for two days. After hanging up her mother's phone, she was a little irritable and impatient.
Before she could figure out how to deal with it, her sister-in-law called again, and said in a tone of asking questions: The children are on vacation, and they all ask their aunts why the New Year's clothes they bought have not yet arrived?
Li Qin was stunned for a moment, and after a pause for a few seconds, she said to her sister-in-law, "I am a little tight this year, and I will buy the clothes of my two nephews and nieces by yourself."
05
Li Qin thought that her words were so clear, and her sister-in-law should be able to understand it at all. Obviously, the sister-in-law is clearly asking Li Qin to buy clothes for her two nephews and nieces.
After being stunned for a while, she asked in turn: Didn't you always buy the clothes for your two children? Do you have the money to buy a new house and not the money to buy New Year's clothes for your two nephews and nieces?
To tell the truth, two children, each wearing New Year's clothes, cost more than 2,000 yuan to buy. After all, if you buy someone else's child, not your own child, you can't buy a bad one, so you can only try to buy one with a good style and good quality.
Li Qin was a little dissatisfied with her sister-in-law's reproach, so she said, you are also working now and have income, and you will buy the clothes for the two children in the future. I also had to buy clothes for my two children.
06
My sister-in-law immediately shouted unhappily, I want to buy two children for my brother and sister-in-law's family, where can I get so much money to buy four children, my monthly salary is not enough.
Li Qin is a little popular, I buy clothes for your two children every year, and you also buy clothes for your brother and sister-in-law's two children every year, but I have never seen you buy a set of clothes for my two children. If your monthly salary is not enough to buy it, then don't buy it for your brother and sister-in-law's children.
My sister-in-law was anxious all of a sudden, how could this be possible, if I didn't buy clothes for my nephew this year, and the children wouldn't call me aunt when I went back, I still had to look at my sister-in-law's face.
No matter how her sister-in-law complained and cried poor, Li Qin firmly said that she would not buy it this year and let her sister-in-law worry about it. Over the years, she has bought clothes for her nephews and nieces, and her sister-in-law has taken it for granted, and even regarded this as her responsibility and obligation.
07
But after so many years, Li Qin herself has two children, but her sister-in-law has never even bought a pair of socks for her children, let alone clothes, and has never mentioned it.
Even when she bought back her clothes, her sister-in-law never said thank you, as if everything was taken for granted and taken for granted. And her parents and brother turned a blind eye to all this, and they never said half a good word for her.
Li Qin's resoluteness completely annoyed her sister-in-law: If you don't buy clothes for your nephew and niece, don't go back to this mother's house, anyway, now I'm in charge, you can do it yourself.
The sister-in-law hung up the phone, and the mother's calls came one after another, without exception, about buying New Year's clothes for her nephews and nieces. Li Qin hung up the phone irritably.
She didn't understand, it was obviously her love for her nephews and nieces, how could it be that in the end, buying clothes for her nephews and nieces became a matter of course for her?
