When I was about to go on a trip with a group of sisters, my daughter-in-law hurriedly called and said that her mother had fallen and was going to recover from her injuries for 100 days, and asked me to take over the grandchildren.
As soon as I heard it, I was happy. Although I just retired, I love to travel around and broaden my horizons. But as I'm getting older, I prefer to spend time with my family and enjoy family fun.
My daughter-in-law made a phone call, and I packed up my things and moved into my son's house, ready to behave well at my son's house, so that my daughter-in-law could rest assured that she would hand over the child to me.
Actually, as soon as my daughter-in-law became pregnant, I wanted to live in my son's house. But who knows, after 5 years, I will be able to get my wish, and it is because my mother broke her leg that I have the opportunity to live in.

My name is Su Min, I am 56 years old and I have a son. My wife and I had high expectations for this son, but as our son gradually became mediocre, we could only gradually accept the reality.
The son finished college step by step, and stayed in the local city to find a job that was neither high nor low, earning a salary that could not be fed or starved to death.
In the second year of his son's work, he found an only daughter in the city as his girlfriend. My wife and I are very happy, thinking that our son has vision, and my daughter-in-law is a salesman, with high emotional intelligence, sweet mouth, and beautiful people, and she is also very good at doing things to us.
When my son was about to get married, my wife and I spared no effort to spend all our savings to buy a wedding house for our son in the city where they worked, and gave my daughter-in-law a bride price of 100,000 yuan.
03
Originally, I thought that my daughter-in-law would resist having children, but who knew that they gave birth to a grandson in the first year of marriage. In the words of the daughter-in-law, early birth and late birth are all births, and it is better to give birth early and recover your body and work early.
I appreciate the transparency of my daughter-in-law, how many girls want to live in a two-person world as soon as they get married, and they rush to have children when they are a lot older. But when you are old, you have to suffer a lot when you are pregnant and have a child.
As soon as my daughter-in-law became pregnant, I took the initiative to send 10,000 yuan to her to replenish her body, and volunteered to serve my daughter-in-law three meals a day. But the daughter-in-law refused, on the grounds that she wanted her mother to take care of her.
Thinking of the contradiction between my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and in order to let my daughter-in-law raise the baby with peace of mind, I didn't insist on rushing to serve people. When my grandson was born, in addition to giving my grandson a one-time gift of 20,000 yuan, I also promised my daughter-in-law to give my mother-in-law 3,000 yuan a month for hardship.
04
As my grandson got bigger and bigger, my daughter-in-law complained in front of me about how hard her mother worked to take care of the child, I couldn't bear it, and I thought that I couldn't take care of the child myself, so I agreed to raise my mother's 3,000 hard work fee to 4,000 yuan.
The mother-in-law contributed to the child, and I contributed the money, and the two sides performed their respective duties, but they were all right. Even in front of everyone, my daughter-in-law will praise me for being a mother-in-law for my generosity. And I will naturally take care of my daughter-in-law, and the relationship between my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has never been better.
Therefore, when my daughter-in-law said that my mother-in-law broke her leg, I was anxious. After answering the call from his daughter-in-law, he went to his son's house the next day and took over all the big and small things.
The daughter-in-law said that her father still had to go to work, so her mother-in-law had to stay at home and hoped that I could take care of her. I agreed without saying a word.
05
From then on, it became my responsibility to take care of the children and my mother-in-law, as well as to serve the whole family. I wasn't tired, after all, I just came, and I had to behave well in front of my daughter-in-law.
In the first few days, it was always the daughter-in-law who went to pick up and drop off her grandson from school by herself. As I became familiar with my surroundings, my daughter-in-law was relieved to let me pick up and drop off my children from school.
I was overjoyed, which shows that my hard work and efforts in the past few days have not been in vain, and I have been recognized and appreciated by my daughter-in-law. I went to the kindergarten as my daughter-in-law told me and waited for my grandson to get out of school.
It's just that I waited for a long time, so long that most of the children were picked up by their parents, and I still didn't see my grandson come out. I was so anxious and at a loss that I had to ask the teacher many times where my grandson had gone.
06
I told the teacher that my grandson's name was Sun Chuyu and that he was in the sophomore class, but they shook their heads and said that there was no such child. But just when I was helpless and was about to call my daughter-in-law, a teacher stood up and said, Auntie, you are talking about Zhong Chuyu, are you the child's grandmother, why did you even change the child's surname.
The teacher wanted to call my daughter-in-law to confirm my identity, and after the daughter-in-law confirmed my identity, the teacher took the grandson out. "Zhong Chuyu, who is this in your family?" The teacher asked my grandson in a low voice, and the grandson said obediently, This is my grandmother, who only came to our house a few days ago.
After confirming my identity, the teacher handed the child to me and told me not to call the wrong child's last name next time. I asked my grandson with a confused and anxious face, aren't you called Sun Chuyu, why did you change it to Zhong Chuyu again?
The grandson said disapprovingly, when I was 3 years old and went to kindergarten, my parents changed my surname, and my father said that I followed my mother's surname, and my grandfather's property could fall into my name in the future.
07
As soon as I heard this, the whole person was like five thunderbolts. My grandson was changed to his mother's surname by his daughter-in-law when he was three years old, so hasn't my financial subsidies and contributions become a joke over the years?
I hurriedly called my son, I was so anxious on the other end of the phone that I was about to go crazy, but my son said disapprovingly, Mom, don't worry, it is the same decision between me and your daughter-in-law to change the child's surname to the mother. Anyway, we will have a second child, what does it matter who the first child has to do with whose surname?
I was immediately annoyed, why does it matter who the surname of my son's first child is? It is too deceitful to ask our man to provide a wedding room and a bride price of 100,000 yuan, and to compete with us for the right to the child's surname.
I asked my son to change his grandson's surname back immediately, but he said that he couldn't change it again, and that changing it would mislead the child and be detrimental to the child's social interaction.
08
Anything that is not conducive to the child's socialization is all nonsense, and it is not conducive to how to explain it to his good parents-in-law. Thinking of the red envelopes I gave to my grandson during the New Year's holidays and the 4,000 yuan of hard work I gave to my mother-in-law every month, I felt sad.
After a night of tossing and turning, I had a showdown with my son and daughter-in-law, either to change my grandson's surname back, or I interrupted poverty alleviation and returned to my hometown, and you brought it yourself.
My son and daughter-in-law all persuaded me not to make trouble unreasonably, saying that the child was the crystallization of the love between the two of them, and their surnames were the same. But in my heart, it's different. Since they don't listen to persuasion, then I will interrupt poverty alleviation and go back to my hometown to support my own age.
I was angry with my daughter-in-law's first cut and then played, but I was even more angry with my son's hatred of iron and steel. Our family spent a lot of money to marry a daughter-in-law, but the son blindly controlled his wife strictly, and he made himself a door-to-door son-in-law. It's really mud that can't hold up the wall.
