Others say that only a man who has no interest will be willing to marry a woman as a son-in-law.
That's right, I was also forced to go to my wife's house to be a son-in-law in the predicament of my family.
I was the eldest son in the family, but my family was poor, and I had a younger brother who was studying. For the sake of our brothers, my parents went out early and returned late, but they still couldn't earn any money.
I had no choice but to give up studying and give up the opportunity to study to my younger brother, who had better academic performance.
I dropped out of school early to go out to work, and in those years, I did all the dirty work, just for the little salary every month.
02
Fortunately, I was lucky, and soon met the noble person in my life, Uncle Chen and Sister-in-law. By chance, I applied for a job at their small shop.
Because I am hard-working and humble-minded, I quickly won the unanimous praise of Uncle Chen and Sister-in-law. In order to keep me, they also gave me a salary and a position.
And I also obediently stayed, but the reason why I stayed was not the salary and position they promised, but the only daughter of Uncle Chen and Sister-in-law Chen, Xiaomin.
Xiaomin is lively and cute, and very kind, and always likes to talk to me. Over time, I developed a crush on her. It's just that I am well aware of the gap between us, and I have never dared to pierce this layer of window paper.

It wasn't until Xiaomin graduated and couldn't get into graduate school, and after repeatedly hitting a wall in society, she insisted on coming out to break into society, and the gap between me and her slowly narrowed.
At that time, I had a certain amount of savings and savings, and people were dressed up like people because of work, and girls who didn't know would always take the initiative to approach me.
I confessed to Xiaomin, but who knew that she simply agreed, which flattered me. After that, we have been secretly in a relationship and are afraid to let my boss and lady know.
It wasn't until we were inadvertently discovered by Uncle Chen and Sister-in-law that we were holding hands and shopping, and our relationship was punctured. I thought that after being poked, Xiaomin and I were going to face a breakup.
But who knows, Uncle Chen and Sister-in-law Chen talked to me and said that we have no objection to our daughter marrying you, but the premise is that you want to be the son-in-law of our family, as long as there is a boy with our surname, the rest can have your surname.

I hurriedly agreed, and although my parents were a little stunned, they also knew very well that with their own ability, they could not buy me a house and marry a daughter-in-law, and Uncle Chen and Sister-in-law Chen also promised to give my parents a bride price of 100,000 yuan, so they slowly accepted the fact that I was inserting the door upside down.
After I got married, I slowly lost contact with my parents. Even if I contacted, it was done secretly, and I didn't dare to be open, for fear that my parents-in-law would be angry.
Fortunately, my luck is still good, although I have changed from an employee to a son-in-law, my parents-in-law treat me like their own son.
My wife is also very aware of the righteousness, not only did not ask me to cut off contact with my parents, but often persuaded me to give my parents 1,000 yuan a month for living expenses.
I immersed myself in a happy family and worked harder in order to repay my parents-in-law for their kindness in this way.
05
It's just that there are unforeseen circumstances, my younger brother died in a car accident just after he had a son in the third year after he got married, and his parents cried so much that they couldn't help themselves.
My heart aches, who can accept such a cruel reality when a white-haired person sends a black-haired person? I wanted to take my parents to my home to support the elderly, but as soon as I said it, my wife and mother-in-law rejected me.
After that, I didn't dare to mention it again, so I could only go back to visit my parents often, comfort them a lot, and give them some living expenses.
Half a year after my brother's death, my brother-in-law and daughter-in-law left with the child, and my father also passed away due to illness.
I wanted to offer to take my mother to take care of me again, but my mother-in-law refused again, saying that the family was so small, with two elderly people and two children, and it was impossible to live in three bedrooms and two living rooms.
06
My mother-in-law's refusal was expected by me a long time ago. Although I was disappointed, I could accept it, so I could only think of earning more money by myself, and relying on my own efforts to buy a house for my mother in the nearby community and put it by my side to take care of it.
However, before I could earn any money, I came home a few days after a business trip, and my parents-in-law couldn't wait to lead me to the living room and said let me see who was coming.
I looked at the sofa in the living room with some curiosity, only to see my mother sitting on the sofa, looking at me kindly and smiling. I was stunned for a long time, and only after my wife's repeated urging did I come to my senses.
My wife told me that last time you told us that you wanted to take your mother-in-law to support the elderly, we didn't agree, but the house was too small, and it was inconvenient for a family of 7 to live. Now my parents have paid for a four-bedroom apartment, and there is no problem at all to accommodate a family of 7.
07
My wife's words made my eyes red. The mother on the other side saw that my eyes were red, thinking that she was in the way, so she quickly stood up at a loss, saying that it was good for her to live alone in her hometown, as long as her son and daughter-in-law took the child back to see her from time to time.
Seeing my mother's actions, I realized that my actions had misled my mother. I knelt in front of my parents-in-law and slapped myself hard.
I said with great regret, Mom and Dad, I blamed you wrongly, thinking that you refused to accept my mother, and you also moved your mind to rent a house outside for my mother to support her in the elderly. But now I understand that without you, I would not be where I am today, let alone a happy family. I will definitely treat you well in the future.
My mother-in-law hurriedly helped me up, and blamed me for not telling everyone something, hiding myself, and tossing myself out of illness. Listening to these heartwarming words, my heart warmed even more. Who said that the door-to-door son-in-law is not as good as others, I think my door-to-door son-in-law is more blessed than his own son.
