"Mom, Xiaotao will go to primary school in two years, and now the primary school can be rolled, everyone goes to the school district with good educational resources, our family can't be backward, and we can't suffer anything for the child. ”
As soon as my son said this, I knew that my wallet was going to be ruined again. I don't know how many times my son has asked us for money, but we have to be pinched by him, who made us grandson slaves.
My son's words of emotion and reason still moved my wife and me after all. So, we promised our son another 200,000 yuan to support them when he changed to a big house.
The daughter-in-law smiled happily and immediately said that she would take our old couple out for a trip, to relax, and to reward us for all these years of hard work. Although he was about to bleed profusely, he thought that he could go out to play with his son's family of three, and the 200,000 yuan felt worth it.

My name is Song Meiying, I am 56 years old, and I live in my son's house for a long time with my grandson.
In the past, a group of old sisters and colleagues always asked me to travel with me, but I always said that I was reluctant to give up my grandson, or I just didn't have time.
Anyway, in the eyes of outsiders, I am extremely generous to my son's family of three, but I am extremely stingy with myself. Not to mention foreign travel, even my son's local city tour, I have to hesitate again and again.
It's not that we don't want to be happy, it's that we can't afford it. Whenever we think of our son's complaint and crying for poverty, and thinking of our grandson's hardship, we begin to feel guilty, and then spend all the pension of the old couple on our grandson.

As soon as my daughter-in-law became pregnant and I had just retired, my son invited me to his house and told me to serve my daughter-in-law's three meals a day, and then my daughter-in-law's confinement and children.
My son asked me, so I was naturally eager to do so, and without hesitation, I quickly packed my luggage and went to my son's house. Since then, I have been a free babysitter and ATM for my son's family.
After my daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, she left it alone and threw everything about the child to me. From eating, drinking, and sleeping, to buying diapers and milk powder, my son and daughter-in-law turned a blind eye and didn't hear it, and I was left to pay for it alone.
I dug it out a lot of times, and my old book was also hollowed out. But my son and daughter-in-law didn't take the initiative to give money, I was thin-skinned, so naturally I couldn't ask my son for money, so I could only ask my wife who was far away from my hometown for living expenses.

Once or twice, my wife was also a little angry, blaming me for being a fat man with a swollen face and asking for hardship. But I can't help it, every time I see a well-behaved and cute little grandson, where do I still have the heart to care?
As a result, I spent more and more money at my son's house. At first, it was the family's monthly living expenses, and then it was the grandson's expenses, and now even my son's mortgage is ready for me to take over.
The more I stayed at my son's house, the more I felt that it was too hard to bear. Sons and daughters-in-law have high requirements, they don't use non-brands, and they don't buy expensive ones. In the end, all these expenses fell on my head. The son and daughter-in-law took their own salaries, chic and happy, moonlight.
Originally, my son once again proposed to change to a large school district house, but I firmly disagreed. Their wedding home has only been bought for a few years, and they can't wait to buy a second house.

If my son had the ability, I wouldn't say anything. However, his son has a big tone and little ability, and he only barely took out 200,000 yuan after rummaging through the cabinets.
I couldn't see my grandson suffering, so I promised to pay 200,000 yuan by then. My daughter-in-law was so excited that she directly offered to take me and my wife out on a trip to reward us for our hard work.
I happily packed my luggage, and specially told my wife in my hometown to rush to my son's house as soon as possible, and everyone set off for a trip together. It wasn't until the eve of departure that I overheard the call between my daughter-in-law and my mother-in-law, that I realized that I had been wronged again.
The daughter-in-law made amends while comforting her mother-in-law: Mom, we can't help it, if we hadn't agreed to take our in-laws out on a trip, where would we get so much down payment for our younger brother to buy a wedding house?

I immediately choked, isn't it for my eldest grandchild and mother that my son and daughter-in-law are buying a wedding house for my daughter-in-law's younger brother, what difference is it from my daughter-in-law's parents to help my daughter-in-law raise their son?
Instead of demolishing it in person, I decided to do it. Since the daughter-in-law is willing to bleed profusely, then we don't need to be polite. In the past few days of traveling, I have been trying my best to fulfill my wishes.
What is expensive to buy, what is good to look at and fun, and never skimp on tickets. My 200,000 yuan has not yet been handed over to them, and my son and daughter-in-law naturally coaxed us to confess, for fear that we would rebel.
As for the cost of travel, I pretend not to know how many times my daughter-in-law explicitly hints at it. What are you kidding, my son and daughter-in-law invited us to travel, but I had to pay for it myself, wouldn't this become my own money to play by myself?
Seeing that I didn't take the initiative to reimburse the travel expenses as before, my daughter-in-law fell and fought with my son at home, arguing again and again, and I was stunned and did not compromise, and even packed my luggage and followed my wife back to my hometown.
Daughters-in-law love to make trouble, so let them make trouble by themselves. As for the promised 200,000, I also canceled it. The daughter-in-law has the ability to be Voldemort and help the poor, so naturally she no longer needs our money.
