Yang Yifan is a 31-year-old Internet practitioner with a stable job and a decent income. Compared with him, his wife Chen Weiwei seems to be a little ill-fated. Chen Weiwei used to be a bank teller, but due to her mother-in-law, Aunt Yan, she chose to quit after a few years of work and take care of her two children at home.
Aunt Yan is a very partial person since she was a child, and she has always hoped that her daughter can stay at home full-time, instead of working to make money. So after Chen Weiwei got married, Aunt Yan tried her best to get her to quit her job and concentrate on being a good wife and mother. Later, with the birth of two children, Aunt Yan controlled Chen Weiwei to the death, and even had to ask her permission to go out.
However, Chen Yu, another relative of Aunt Yan's brother-in-law, is the opposite. Chen Yu is a typical "loser", eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling all day long, and he can't even take care of work. And he often reached out to his family to ask for money, which made Aunt Yan anxious. Over the years, Aunt Yan has given Chen Yu 600,000 yuan, but he is still in debt and shows no signs of reform.
On this day, Yang Yifan just came home from work and saw his wife Chen Weiwei with a sad face.
"What's the matter, wife, what's going on today?" Yang Yifan asked with concern.
Chen Weiwei hesitated for a while before she said, "That's the case, my mother remitted another sum of money to my brother-in-law today." ”
"Why is this?, hasn't your brother-in-law been losing?" Yang Yifan frowned.
"Yes, I have persuaded my mother many times, but she is soft-hearted and reluctant to let my brother-in-law suffer. Chen Weiwei sighed, "I watched my mother give money to my brother-in-law again and again, and I was also very anxious. ”
"Then how much money did your mother give your brother-in-law this time?" Yang Yifan asked.
"100,000 yuan. Chen Weiwei said, "Now our family's savings are about to be squandered by my brother-in-law." ”
Yang Yifan was silent for a moment, then he held his wife's hand and said in a firm tone: "Don't worry, I'm here." Together, we figured out how to solve this problem. ”
Hearing her husband's comfort, Chen Weiwei's heart felt a little lighter. She knew that with Yang Yifan here, they would definitely be able to get through this difficulty.
"My mom said that if we didn't want to give my brother-in-law money, she would withhold support for our two children. Chen Weiwei said worriedly.
"What, your mother is actually using the child to blackmail you?" Yang Yifan frowned, "This is too much." ”
"But I really don't know what to do. We have very little money left, and if we send money to my brother-in-law, we will not be able to sustain ourselves. Chen Weiwei said anxiously.
Yang Yifan pondered for a moment, then reached out and gently stroked his wife's hair, and said gently, "Don't worry, let's take it one step at a time." I'll go talk to your mom first and see if she understands our situation. ”
"However, my mother has always been a person with iron teeth and bronze teeth, and you may not be able to persuade her. Chen Weiwei said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter, as long as we communicate with our hearts, we will always find a solution. Yang Yifan smiled and said, "The most important thing now is that you have to take care of your body and rest well." I'll fix this as soon as possible. ”
After speaking, Yang Yifan got up and walked to Aunt Yan's house. He knew that it would not be easy to convince this opinionated mother-in-law. However, for the sake of his family's happiness, he had to give it a try.
Aunt Yan's face suddenly became gloomy: "What? You are unwilling to help your brother-in-law? He is the only male in the family, of course I have to take care of him first." ”
"But Auntie, we can't sustain our own lives anymore. By giving him money again and again, instead of getting him to correct his mistakes, you may encourage his profligacy. Yang Yifan said sincerely.
Although Chen Yu has some problems, he is my own flesh and blood after all. Why do you outsiders make decisions for me?" Aunt Yan said sharply.
"Auntie, I'm not trying to make decisions for you. I just hope you can understand our situation and give us some respite. We are now in debt, and we really can't afford to continue to support Chen Yu. Yang Yifan patiently explained.
"Hmph, you just aren't filial! I think you two just think I gave Chen Yu too much money and want to monopolize the family's property!" Aunt Yan said angrily.
"Auntie, you're not right. We don't think so. We just want to make the family's financial situation better, take good care of the children, and live a stable life. Yang Yifan said with a wry smile.
"A stable life?bah! You just look down on my own flesh and blood, and only care about your own comfort!" Aunt Yan scolded sharply, "If you don't give me a fuck, I'll let the two of you can't even afford to raise children!"
Yang Yifan was speechless for a while, not knowing what to do. He thought that he could communicate well with Aunt Yan, but he didn't expect the other party to be so stubborn and unwilling to understand their situation at all.
Just when Yang Yifan was hesitating, Chen Weiwei suddenly came to Aunt Yan's house. She saw her husband's look of frustration and immediately realized that the negotiations had made little progress.
"Mom, can you be a little more considerate of our situation? We really can't afford to continue to support Chen Yu. Chen Weiwei said softly.
"Considerate of your situation, hmph, I think you are just greedy and unwilling to help your relatives!" Aunt Yan said with a sneer.
"Mom, don't say that. We just want to live a stable life and take good care of our children. Can you empathize with our situation?" Chen begged.
Seeing Aunt Yan's increasingly excited appearance, Yang Yifan and Chen Weiwei were a little frightened. They were afraid that Aunt Yan would really stop them from taking care of the children, so they had to stop insisting and said in a flattering tone: "Mom, you are right. We will definitely continue to fund Chen Yu. Rest assured, we'll figure out how to scrape together the money. ”
Hearing this, Aunt Yan relaxed a little. She snorted coldly and said, "That's good, you'd better fulfill your obligations." ”
Yang Yifan and Chen Weiwei glanced at each other helplessly, their hearts full of helplessness and anger. They knew that from now on, they would have to worry about every money in their family.
Leaving Aunt Yan's house, Yang Yifan and Chen Weiwei were silent for a long time.
"Wife, what are we going to do? I really don't know what to do with your mother. Yang Yifan said worriedly.
"I don't know what to do anymore. You look at my mom just now, there is really no room for negotiation at all. Chen Weiwei said helplessly.
"We really can't afford to continue to pay your brother-in-law's debts. If this continues, even we will not be able to hold on to ourselves. Yang Yifan sighed.
"But I can't bear to let my mother bear this burden alone. You know, my mom has always been very partial to my brother-in-law. Chen Weiwei's eyes were a little red.
Yang Yifan was silent for a moment, and then said firmly: "No matter what, we all have to think about ourselves and our children." We have to find a way to lighten this burden, or sooner or later we will bring ourselves down. ”
"But we really can't deal with my mother. You didn't see it just now, she's a hard-hearted person who doesn't understand our situation at all. Chen Weiwei said sadly.
"Then let's think differently. I thought maybe I could try to help your brother-in-law find a job so that he could earn his own money to pay off his debts. What do you say?" Yang Yifan suggested.
"However, my brother-in-law has not worked well for so many years, and I am afraid it will be difficult to convince him. Chen Weiwei said hesitantly.
"That's better than letting your mom carry the burden alone. We have to find a way to ease this burden, or sooner or later it will bring down our whole family. Yang Yifan said firmly.
Chen Weiwei pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's try to see if we can help my brother-in-law find a job." But you'll have to talk to my mom first to see if she can stop giving my brother-in-law money for the time being. Otherwise, it's really hard for us to afford it anymore. ”
"No problem, I'll talk to your mom again. Hopefully this time she will understand our situation. Yang Yifan said.
"Auntie, I know that you have always cared about Chen Yu, but our family's financial situation is really worrying. Can you stop giving him any more money for the time being, and let him find a way to repay the debt on his own?" Yang Yifan said sincerely.
Aunt Yan's face suddenly became gloomy: "What? You actually want me not to give Chen Yu money? He is my only flesh and blood, how can I not help him?"
"But Auntie, our family's savings are running out. If you give Chen Yu money again and again, you may encourage his profligacy and make him more dependent on your funding. It is better to let him find a way to pay off his debts on his own, which will also be more beneficial to his growth. Yang Yifan patiently explained.
"What nonsense! Chen Yu doesn't even have a stable job now, how can you let him find a way to pay off his debts by himself?" Aunt Yan shouted.
"So we're thinking about helping him find a job. If you can stop giving him money for a while, maybe he will be able to understand and correct his mistakes. Yang Yifan pleaded.
"Hmph, you outsiders still want to interfere with my family affairs! I think you just think I gave Chen Yu too much money and want to monopolize the family's property!" Aunt Yan said angrily.
"Auntie, you misunderstood. We really just want to stabilize our family's financial situation and live a stable life. Can you understand our situation?" Chen Weiwei couldn't help but plead.
"Considerate of you, heh, I think you two are a pair of ungrateful things!" Aunt Yan said coldly, "If I hadn't been helping you take care of your children, would you have been able to live the life you have today?
Seeing Aunt Yan's increasingly excited appearance, Yang Yifan and Chen Weiwei were a little disappointed and desperate. They knew that it would be difficult to convince this stubborn mother-in-law right now.
After leaving Aunt Yan's house, Yang Yifan and Chen Weiwei were silent for a long time.
"Wife, look at my mother's way just now, we really can't convince her. Yang Yifan sighed.
"yes, I also feel like she's completely unwilling to understand our situation. Chen Weiwei said helplessly.
"What are we going to do now? We just can't afford to continue to pay your brother-in-law's debts. However, if we don't, your mother threatens to withhold support for our children. Yang Yifan said anxiously.
"I don't know what to do anymore. I just hope we can find a way out of this situation as soon as possible. Chen Weiwei tears flowed helplessly.
The two were silent for a moment, and suddenly Yang Yifan seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up: "I know, wife, we might as well take your brother-in-law to our house, keep an eye on him personally, and then find a way to help him find a job!"
"What, bring my brother-in-law to our house?" Chen Weiwei was stunned for a moment, "But, he has achieved nothing for so many years, if he brings it to our house again, won't it bring us more trouble?"
"I know you're worried, but we've got to figure out how to fix it. If you let your mother always be in control behind the scenes, not only our own lives will be affected, but even the future of our children will be affected. Yang Yifan said firmly.
"However, if my brother-in-law does come to our house, he doesn't know what trouble he will cause us. And my mom wouldn't agree to that. Chen Weiwei said hesitantly.
"It doesn't matter, since we are determined to solve this problem, we must stay the course. You discuss it with your mother first to see if she can not give your brother-in-law money for the time being, and then we can find a way to bring him to our house. Yang Yifan said.
Chen Weiwei pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go and discuss it with my mother." Let's hope she'll listen to us this time. ”
Aunt Yan's face turned cold suddenly: "What? You even want me not to give Chen Yu money? He is my only flesh and blood, how could I do such a thing?"
"But, Mom, our family is really financially constrained and can't afford to continue to sponsor them. Can you give us some respite for a moment?" Chen Weiwei pleaded.
"Hmph, I know that you outsiders must be disgusted with Chen Yu for causing trouble to our family! You just don't want to help your relatives!" Aunt Yan said with a sneer.
"Mom, don't say that. We just want to make the family's financial situation better and take good care of the children. Can you empathize with our situation?" Chen begged.
"Considerate of you, heh, I think you two are a pair of ungrateful things!" Aunt Yan shouted, "If I hadn't been helping you take care of your children, would you have been able to live like this life?
Seeing Aunt Yan's increasingly excited appearance, Chen Weiwei's heart was full of helplessness and despair. She knew it would be difficult to convince the stubborn mother-in-law right now.
At this moment, Yang Yifan also came to Aunt Yan's house. He straightened his waist and said firmly: "Auntie, we know that you care about Chen Yu very much, but can you understand our situation? Our family really can't afford to continue to support him." Why don't you give him money for the time being, and let us find a way to help him find a job and let him earn money to pay off his debts?"
"What? You actually want me not to give Chen Yu money? Hmph, you are really a pair of guys who want to monopolize the family's property!" Aunt Yan said with a sneer.
"Auntie, we don't have that in mind. We just hope that the family's financial situation will be better and that we can take good care of the children. Can you be considerate of our situation?" Yang Yifan pleaded.
"Considerate of you, heh, I think you are just not filial! If I hadn't been helping you take care of your children, would you have been able to live the life you have today?" Aunt Yan shouted.
"Auntie, we really just want to live a stable life. We also want to be able to help Chen Yu get back on his feet, but you have to give us some respite first. Yang Yifan pleaded.
Aunt Yan snorted coldly and said, "Don't think about it! I think you want to take advantage of me and squander all my money! I won't agree!"
With that, she turned and went back into the house, slamming the door with a bang.
Yang Yifan and Chen Weiwei looked at each other, and their hearts were full of helplessness and despair. They knew that trying to convince this stubborn mother-in-law was an impossible task at the moment.
