I just came back from the hospital in the past two days, and my daughter was worried that I would not be able to take care of myself, so she took my wife and me to take care of me at home, saying that if we had an emergency situation in the future, they would send us to the hospital in time.
Seeing my daughter and son-in-law busy with us, the patients in the same ward asked me, "Your daughter and son-in-law are so good, are you just one child, and you don't have a son?" I didn't know what to say for a while, because during the days I was hospitalized, my son and daughter-in-law never came.
I had a good face, so I lied to others, saying that my son couldn't come back from a business trip, and my daughter-in-law had to take care of the two children at home and couldn't leave, so I didn't let her come over.
In fact, the real situation has nothing to do with this, my son and daughter-in-law went to travel with my in-laws, and I haven't come back yet!
I feel chilled when I think of this, I treat my daughter-in-law and daughter fairly and justly, but I didn't expect this serious illness, but I saw the gap between them.
I think back then, when I first married my wife, my mother-in-law was partial to my sister-in-law, and I kept all the good things for my sister-in-law, and I only picked up the rest.
My wife also told my mother-in-law about this, but every time my mother-in-law would cry and say with a sad face, your little sister is having a hard time, I can help a little, you are all my children, the palms and backs of your hands are all meat, which one is not good for me.
You should be more considerate and considerate of me, that is, you don't have children yet, and when you have children, you will be the same as me.
Later, I gave birth to a son and a daughter, and the son is the eldest, and in the decades when the child has grown up, I have always treated both of them fairly, never biased, and the rewards and punishments are the same.
However, my daughter still receives more attention as the youngest, and the relatives in the family like my daughter, even my son is towards my daughter, every time my daughter does something wrong, and I want to punish her, my son will always stand in front of her.
Later, when my son got married, my wife and I took out half of our family's savings and bought them a house in the town, which was paid for by my in-laws.
Because of this house, the daughter-in-law asked for a bride price of tens of thousands of yuan for our family, and according to our side, it is generally a bride price of 1120,000 yuan, but the daughter-in-law only asked for a bride price of 66,000 yuan.
Because of this incident, we are very grateful to our daughter-in-law, and when I got married, I also promised my in-laws that I would treat my daughter-in-law as my own daughter, and she would have my daughter.
In fact, I did it, my daughter got married late, and the custom in our place is that as long as it is an unmarried girl, there are red envelopes to take.
My wife and I give our daughter a red envelope of 1,000 yuan every year, and after my daughter-in-law came, we didn't hide it, and we also gave a red envelope of 1,000 yuan by one person.
When we buy new clothes for our daughter during the Chinese New Year, we will also call our daughter-in-law and buy her two favorite clothes, the daughter-in-law is a particular person, and she spends one or two thousand every time she buys clothes, while her daughter only spends a few hundred.
But my daughter has never quarreled with us because of this, and my wife and I have turned a blind eye, spending more money and spending less, as long as they get along well.
Every time they came back, my wife and I would cook a big table of their favorite meals, my daughter-in-law liked spicy food, and my daughter ate light food, so we had to prepare two meals each time.
Although the trouble is a little troublesome, no one can be wronged, and no one can find fault with me, which I am already very satisfied.
When my daughter-in-law was pregnant, she reacted very much and had to resign to recuperate at home, and my son was not worried that my daughter-in-law was at home alone, so he took me over to take care of my daughter-in-law.
During the time at my son's house, I served my daughter-in-law with all my heart, and I would do whatever she wanted to eat, and I would meet even if it was not too excessive.
finally survived the past nine months, and before he had time to catch his breath, he hurried to serve his daughter-in-law in confinement and take care of his little grandson.
This care has been taken care of for more than two years, plus the days when I was waiting for my daughter-in-law's pregnancy, it adds up to almost three years, and I have only been home a handful of times in the past three years, let alone seeing my daughter.
My wife also teased me and said, I see that you have grandchildren, so you forget the old and the young in the family, if it weren't for my daughter coming back to see me from time to time, I would think I was a lonely old man!
When my grandson was two years old, when I learned that my daughter-in-law had not planned to go to work, I proposed to her to go back to my hometown, and my daughter-in-law did not stop her, saying that if we wanted to have children, we would come and see them at any time.
When the youngest grandson was three years old, her daughter got married, although she was marrying her daughter, she didn't need to be too grand, and the marriage was also meaningful.
But my wife and I felt that although we couldn't take out half of our family's savings to buy them a house and a car like we did to our son, we couldn't ask our daughter to marry too poorly, so my wife and I paid for our daughter to buy a car as a dowry.
In addition, I also gave my daughter 50,000 yuan, but this money is only known to me, my wife and my daughter, I told my daughter that this money is her confidence in her in-law's house, and if she is wronged in her in-law's house, she will return to her parents' house at any time.
My daughter was pregnant in the second year of marriage, and it happened that my daughter-in-law was also pregnant with her second child, and my daughter told me to ask me to take care of her, and my daughter-in-law also asked me to go over to see the child and take care of her by the way.
This really made it difficult for me, I couldn't give up both sides, but I couldn't take care of it at the same time, and finally I thought about it and sent a sum of money to my daughter and asked her to hire a nanny.
However, my daughter did not take my money, but transferred 5,000 yuan to me, telling me not to wronged myself by my daughter-in-law's family, to eat whatever I wanted, to buy whatever I wanted, and to tell her when I had no money.
Because I can't take care of my daughter by my side, I keep in touch with my daughter every day and pay attention to her dynamics.
Later, after my daughter-in-law gave birth to her second child, after I served her for confinement, it happened that my mother-in-law also retired, so I asked her to come over to take care of my daughter-in-law for a period of time, and I gave her a certain amount of remuneration every month.
After my mother-in-law came, I went to my daughter's house non-stop, and only after I arrived did I know that my daughter's mother-in-law had already booked the confinement center and the confinement sister-in-law, so I didn't have to worry about it at all.
When I knew that my daughter was pregnant and I couldn't get through, they also quit their jobs and rushed over from their hometown to take care of their daughter.
After my daughter gave birth to her granddaughter, I stayed with my daughter for a month, and my daughter called me home, she said that I have nothing to do here, and if the child cries and does not rest well, I will go back to my hometown for a while, and then come back when the child is older.
I didn't expect to go back this time, and when I saw my daughter again, I was in the hospital, and after less than three months of staying in my hometown, I had a heart attack.
My wife called my son several times, but I couldn't get through, so I had to call my daughter, and my son-in-law and daughter drove me to the city hospital overnight.
After examination, the doctor said that it was not too big a problem and that a minor operation was needed, and for the sake of insurance, the daughter still informed her son and daughter-in-law.
Who knew that the daughter-in-law actually said that if it was not a particularly serious situation, it would be better not to have surgery, it would hurt the body too much, and it would cost money, and it would not be worth the effort and money.
The daughter didn't seem to expect her daughter-in-law to say such a thing, so she quickly hung up the phone and wanted to say something to me, but she didn't say it after all.
At noon, when my wife went out to buy food, and when my daughter and son-in-law came home, I dared to show a little emotion, and I didn't hide it, and when I heard what my daughter-in-law said, my heart was cold.
In the evening, when my wife was asleep, I went out to call my son, I wanted to criticize him a few words, but I didn't expect to learn that he and his daughter-in-law were actually traveling with their in-laws, and the angry wife dropped the phone on the ground on the spot, scolding more than once.
I stayed in the hospital for more than half a month, during which my daughter and son-in-law were all waiting for me, and my wife didn't play a big role except for accompanying the bed, and my daughter and son-in-law were worried about it.
On the day I was discharged from the hospital, my daughter called my son, saying that she wanted to take our old couple over to live for a while, and my son agreed without thinking about it, and my daughter-in-law was still saying on the side, I just wanted to tell you about it, but I didn't expect you to say it first, then we will play with my parents for a few more days and then go back!
Finally, I finally remembered to say hello to me, telling me to pay attention to my body, not to have too many mood swings, and to pick me up when they got home.
I hummed twice and didn't continue to talk, and my wife and daughter saw that I was not happy, so they quickly found an excuse and hung up the phone.
In order to make me happy, my daughter and son-in-law also drove around for a few days, bought me a few new clothes, and said that when I recovered, they would also take our old couple to travel and relax.
I was skeptical that my daughter-in-law said that she would take the two of us on a trip, but when it came to my daughter, as long as she said it, I would believe that she would be able to do it.
After this incident, I also realized that even if I treat my daughter-in-law and daughter fairly, there is always a difference between them.
However, no matter what, I will still treat the two of them fairly in the future, just for the sake of my daughter and a maiden home to go back to, and a brother and sister-in-law to rely on!
