The little cousin of the old aunt's family was originally scheduled to get married on May Day, and everything was ready, and the old aunt and the old uncle also promised to marry 220,000 yuan. But because of the man's mother's words, the marriage fell through. Relatives said it was a pity for the young man.
The mother has 5 brothers and sisters, the mother is the second child, the eldest uncle above, the second uncle below, and two aunts. At present, only the little cousin of the old aunt's family has not yet married. Now more and more young people are choosing not to get married, and the old aunt and uncle are afraid that the little cousin will not want to get married if she is single.
The old aunt's family lives in the county seat, and the old uncle's family is well-off. After my aunt got married, my aunt and my uncle opened a breakfast shop next to the morning market. Selling fried dough sticks and tofu brain baked cakes. Tofu brain is famous locally. Tofu brain is a recipe handed down from his family, and many people are used to eating that bite, and the business is very good.
A few years ago, I caught up with the demolition of my old aunt's old house, and I was assigned to the demolition house. Therefore, the economic conditions of my aunt's family are very good!
My aunt's family has two children, my eldest cousin and my younger cousin. They both studied well. The eldest cousin was admitted to a university in another province, and after graduation, she stayed in the field to work, got married and had children.
When the little cousin saw her sister walking away, she said that she wanted to be closer to her aunt and uncle. I can take care of them in the future. At that time, it was a university in the provincial capital. After graduation, I returned to the county seat and took the exam.
If you want to say that the little cousin wants to have one, she must look good, and her work is good. But there is no score for this lifelong event. The aunt is anxious to protect the media.
It's not that the little cousin doesn't watch it, and those who have a media guard also go to watch it, but every time I read it, the relationship will be over for a long time. Relatives all said that the little cousin was too picky. But let's say this behind our backs, people also pick and choose the capital is not!
After October 1 last year, someone gave the little cousin another media. There were two more at once. At that time, my aunt and uncle were still worried!
One is a civil servant who graduated from 985, the kind that looks very sunny, tall, calm, and careful. It's just that the family's conditions are a little worse. Both parents are in the country, there is no pension, and there is a younger brother at home.
The other is a young man who graduated from a junior college, and he is not bad, he is not tall, and he has no choice in speaking and doing things. But I don't have a serious job, so I follow my parents to do business. Several dim sum shops have been opened. The family conditions are quite good.
Both lads got along for a while and socialized as friends. The old aunt and the old uncle said to the little cousin: Which one you choose is up to you. Anyway, our conditions are here. We've got you covered.
The little cousin thought about it and made a decision and chose the guy from 985. The guy is very diligent. A few times, I even went to my aunt's shop to help, and I had a lot of work to do. Clean up the dishes and wipe the table. Sweep and mop the floor, do everything!
A few years ago, my uncle had a minor operation. The family is very busy. The guy ran before and after running in the hospital, running up and down, taking care of the doctor, checking and taking films, rushing to the hospital after work, and buying food for the old uncle, taking care of him very well. Through this incident, the old aunt and the old uncle also recognized this son-in-law.
After the year, the old aunt and uncle also urged the little cousin to get engaged, after all, the eldest is not small. The two children had no opinion, so they made an appointment for the parents of both parties to meet to talk about marriage.
The old aunt and uncle found a restaurant, and asked the young man to take his parents over. As for the bride price, let the other party look at it, but it must be there. If the house is a house, the man's family can't take too much, so he will take a small part, and most of the house money will be taken by the old aunt and uncle. The old aunt and the old uncle also said that they would marry their little cousin for 220,000 yuan.
As soon as he said this, the man's parents couldn't close their mouths happily. It is true that 220,000 is not a small amount, how much pressure can be relieved of the small couple. The little cousin-in-law-to-be has always praised her son for how good and how good he is.
On the day of the wedding, the man found a good one. Anyway, it happened to be in the May Day holiday. Both sides are also ready. The old aunt called out to her mother for the bedding they had made by hand.
No, a week ago, the young man asked his cousin to her aunt's house for dinner. The cousin didn't want to go, but the young man said that his aunt called him and specially told him to bring the little cousin. The aunt said that she was already engaged anyway, so she asked the little cousin to go and brought gifts.
My aunt's family invited many relatives, and her mother-in-law-to-be also went. During the meal, the little cousin went to the bathroom, and when she came out, she listened to her mother-in-law talking to her relatives, and those relatives said to her mother-in-law: It's really enviable, your daughter-in-law here is good-looking and has a good job. Or are you blessed!
I heard her mother-in-law say: "That's not my son's ability, he didn't ask for the bride price, and he posted more than 200,000 yuan." At this time, the little cousin spoke, and he said, "Mom, don't say that, people are considerate of us, so they accommodated." People are afraid that their daughters will suffer, and I feel indebted to them. Then I heard his mother say, "If you don't have the ability, can people accommodate you?
The little cousin really couldn't listen to it, so she coughed twice, and she said, "Come and sit." I'll pour you some water to drink. The little cousin sat down silently. Hold on until the end of the meal.
When the little cousin came home, she learned from her aunt and uncle what her mother-in-law said. The old aunt and the old uncle thought about it again and again, but decided to forget about this marriage. There was nothing wrong with the lad in every way. However, after marriage, the little cousin always has to face the mother-in-law, and if the mother-in-law has such thoughts, the little cousin's life will not be smooth. Relatives said that the old aunt's decision was hasty, but it was a pity for the young man.
My aunt also said that if I had chosen the young man who graduated from the junior college, it might have been a good destination. But who knows? Life is always about making multiple choices, but each of us is also responsible for our own choices.
What kind of decisions will you make when you encounter such a situation?
