My name is Lin Wan'er, an ordinary office worker. Living in this complicated city, I have a stable job with a monthly salary of 24,000, a warm home, and a marriage that seems to be happy but hides contradictions.
My husband's name is Li Yun, a typical family white-collar worker, who is busy with work every day and occasionally adds a little trouble to the family. And the source of this trouble turned out to be his well-behaved eldest sister, Li Meimei.
Li Meili is a quiet woman on the outside and strong on the inside, she was the pillar of the family, taking care of Li Yun and his parents. But since Li Yun got married, Li Meimei's life has changed dramatically. She lost her job, lost her self-confidence, and became increasingly dependent on her family.
I have always felt that family is a warm harbor that should support each other and advance and retreat together. However, when my husband offered to give my eldest sister a salary of 10,000 a month, I felt as if I had been pushed into a bottomless abyss.
"Are you crazy? give her 10,000 a month, we don't have enough for ourselves!" I asked my husband angrily.
Li Yun said seriously: "She is my sister, she is unemployed now, she has no other source of income, I can't watch her fall into trouble." ”
I gritted my teeth, my heart full of helplessness and grievances. I understand that my husband's intentions are good, but I also can't accept that we sacrifice our quality of life for the sake of an outsider.
"If you insist on doing this, I will have no choice but to leave. I finally made the decision and said it with one last hesitation.
My husband's face turned blue, he didn't expect me to make such a decision. "You won't do that, you love me, and you can't leave me. He said in a threatening tone.
I shook my head, and a hint of determination flashed in my eyes: "Love can't be the price of everything, I don't want to live a lifetime in a marriage where I can't even say my own opinion." ”
We fell into a long silence, and tension and depression filled the room. It wasn't until my husband suddenly stood up and rushed out of the house that I realized that our marriage was in jeopardy.
A few days later, the husband returned home, looking a little tired, but there was a hint of determination in his eyes. "I thought about it for a long time, I can't let you go, and I can't give up my aunt. So, I decided to ......"
I looked at him nervously, a sense of foreboding welling up in my heart.
"I decided that I would try to find a better solution to keep our lives alive and not give up on helping my sister. The husband's voice was firm and gentle.
Hearing this, the stone in my heart finally fell to the ground, and tears flowed uncontrollably. "Thank you, Cloud, for your willingness to work for our future. ”
From that day on, my husband and I worked together to find a reasonable solution that would not only maintain our quality of life, but also help Li Meili get back on her feet. As a result, our marriages have become stronger, and our trust and understanding have deepened.
I've learned that love isn't just about sweet talk and romantic dates, it's about supporting each other and growing together when facing difficulties together. In this challenging world, we can only go far if we are tolerant and understanding of each other.
