Before I came to my son's house, my son had always been a baby bump for my wife and me. Even if we don't eat or drink, we won't bear to suffer and sin.
From childhood to adulthood, our son has been our heart. There is no way, who made him the only child in the family, naturally he is deeply loved by his parents and grandparents.
We have spared no effort in pampering our son. From childhood to adulthood, we give our son what he wants, and we never treat him badly. So that his son has grown up, and he has never understood the suffering of the world, let alone worried about money.
At that time, we didn't think so, thinking that a child who was favored by fate was better than a child who was not treated well by fate. So, as always, spoil my son.
02
The son is about to get married and start a family, and the daughter-in-law designates a wedding room in the city center and a bride price of 100,000 yuan.
The son agreed without saying a word, and in turn persuaded us to satisfy us as soon as possible, saying that the daughter-in-law was the right thing for him to see.
As soon as my son spoke, my wife and I naturally didn't dare to slack off, otherwise if one of us couldn't do it well, my son would accuse us of not caring as parents.
It's just that we emptied our family funds to buy a wedding house, gave a bride price, and our daughter-in-law made a fuss about a wedding car of 200,000 yuan, saying that her friends got married with such configurations.
03
The son didn't consider our embarrassment as parents, so he agreed, turned his head and begged us again. My wife took a deep breath and had no choice but to agree.
My son got married happily, but he suffered us, not only emptied his wallet, but also owed 100,000 foreign debts. After marriage, the daughter-in-law did not admit the debt, but only said that whoever borrowed the money would pay it back.
Although I was very angry, I didn't dare to go against my daughter-in-law because my son was protecting the calf. The daughter-in-law, who has the support of her son, is even more willful and presumptuous in front of us, and makes all kinds of demands at every turn, asking us to contribute money and efforts.
The daughter-in-law is willful and domineering, but the son is indulgent and tolerant, and even asks us not to work against the daughter-in-law, and we have to count on the daughter-in-law to support the elderly in the future.
04
When my daughter-in-law was pregnant, my son told me early and asked me to take care of my daughter-in-law's three meals a day. When the child is born, he will continue to serve the confinement and the child.
Naturally, I was ecstatic about this. Regardless of his wife's dissuasion, he directly moved into his son's house with his bag and served his daughter-in-law wholeheartedly.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that when I came to my son's house, I became a free nanny for my son's family. Before I came, my daughter-in-law was responsible for the daily expenses of the family, as well as water and electricity, but as soon as I came, she spontaneously stopped paying.
The son wanted to pay the money, but he couldn't pay a penny, because he even handed over the salary card to his daughter-in-law, and he was powerless. I felt sorry for my son, and without waiting for my son to speak, I took the initiative to take out my pension to subsidize my son's family.
05
Although my 4,000 yuan pension every month has to be subsidized to my son's small family, every time I see my white and chubby grandson, I feel that everything is worth it.
It's just that I was a little caught off guard by the fact that the expenses of my son's family of three are far greater than I can afford. My grandson's milk powder diapers, my daughter-in-law asked me to pay for them. The firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea at home, my daughter-in-law also asked me to pay for it.
My wallet became more and more deflated, and in the end, my salary alone could not support the expenses of my son's family, and I would only complain to my wife.
My wife felt sorry for me, and took out half of my salary to subsidize my son, so that the money we invested in my son's small family has reached 7,000 yuan.
06
I thought that life would go on like this, if I hadn't suddenly fallen ill and was hospitalized, spending my son 3,000 yuan, but my daughter-in-law was too expensive, and I kept shouting for a long time, saying that I had a pension and should let me pay for my own treatment.
I was hospitalized for 3 days, and my daughter-in-law talked about it for 3 days, and if I didn't pay back the 3,000 yuan, she could keep talking. Although my son is a strict wife, he saw me sick in bed, and he didn't want to ask for money as before.
It wasn't until my wife took the time to come to see me that my daughter-in-law mentioned the 3,000 yuan hospitalization fee in front of my wife again, saying that they were now old and young, and they were under great financial pressure.
The wife didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly blocked her daughter-in-law's mouth with 3,000 yuan. got 3,000 yuan, and the daughter-in-law stopped.
07
It's just that she stopped, but my heart was like ashes. Without waiting for my son to appease me, I offered to go back with my wife. As for the monthly subsidy of 7,000 yuan, it has also been interrupted.
Seeing that I really packed my luggage and walked behind my wife, my daughter-in-law was dumbfounded. After reacting, she pleaded with her son to keep us.
After all, if I am willing to stay, they can earn their own money every month and spend it on their own, and they don't need to support their parents and children.
However, I was hospitalized for 3 days and spent 3,000 yuan, but I was able to see my daughter-in-law's face clearly. The daughter-in-law who only gnaws at the old, but never respects the old, does not deserve a penny of our support.
