I'm Yang Xiaolin, an ordinary office worker, and my ordinary and busy life always discourages me. My husband Xiaokang and I have been married for five years, and although our marriage is not a happy one, we have survived with mutual tolerance and hard work.
One day, I came home from the company and saw Xiaokang sitting on the sofa with a serious expression, and I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. I walked over and asked softly, "What's wrong, Xiaokang, is something wrong?" Xiaokang raised his head, sighed, and said in a somewhat helpless tone: "Xiaolin, I just received a call from my mother, she said she wanted to talk to us about something. ”
I was shocked that my mother-in-law suddenly came to talk to us about something, and it seemed that something big had happened. I quickly asked, "What is it about, is there something wrong with the body?" Xiaokang shook his head, "No, it's about the house." ”
"House?" I looked at Xiaokang blankly, "Is there a problem with our house?" Xiaokang smiled bitterly, "It's not our house, it's my brother who wants to buy a house." ”
I was suddenly a little ignorant, "My brother wants to buy a house, what's wrong?" Xiaokang sighed softly, and his tone was a little helpless: "My mother called and said that she wanted us to help, let our eldest son take 100,000 yuan to buy a house for my son, and give 3,000 yuan to my younger brother every month." ”
When I heard the news, my feelings were a little complicated. $100,000 is not a small amount for us, and an extra $3,000 a month is a lot of money. However, I couldn't bear to refuse my mother-in-law's request, after all, this is a family matter, and I can't make it difficult for my parents.
Xiaokang and I fell into silence, thinking about the troubles caused by my mother-in-law's request. After all, we also have our own life needs and plans, and the sudden stress makes us feel a little caught off guard.
After a while, I broke the silence and said, "Xiaokang, we need to think about this issue carefully. Although I understand my mother-in-law's difficulties, we can't easily agree to it, after all, it is a great financial burden on us. ”
Xiaokang nodded, agreeing with me, "Yes, Xiaolin, I also think we need to weigh the pros and cons." After all, our current economic situation is not very well-off, and if this continues, it will have a great impact on our own lives. ”
Just as we were thinking, the phone rang suddenly. I walked to the living room to answer the phone, and it was my mother-in-law's voice that came: "Xiaolin, have you thought about it?" Your father and I are very anxious, I hope you can help. ”
My heart tightened, and my mother-in-law's anxiety and anticipation made me feel a little helpless. I tried to control my emotions and comforted, "Mother-in-law, we are seriously thinking about this matter. Don't worry, we'll do our best to help. ”
After hanging up, I felt more and more entangled. My mother-in-law's expectations made me feel that I couldn't refuse, but the practical considerations made me feel that I couldn't accept them. This question left me in a dilemma and unable to make an easy decision.
Xiaokang walked over and patted me lightly on the shoulder, "Xiaolin, don't be too anxious, we will discuss a solution together." ”
I nodded, looking at Xiaokang gratefully. At this critical time, I feel incredibly relieved to have his support and understanding. We decided to discuss it first and find a solution that would take care of my mother-in-law's feelings and protect our own lives.
Xiaokang and I decided to discuss how to deal with my mother-in-law's request. We sat on the couch and had a serious discussion.
Xiaokang frowned and said, "Xiaolin, we really can't easily agree, but we can't completely ignore it. After all, the mother also did this out of love and expectation for her child. ”
I nodded, agreeing with Xiaokang's opinion, "Yes, I also think we need to find a solution that can take care of my mother-in-law's feelings and protect our own lives." ”
We decided to communicate with our mother-in-law first and express our concerns and difficulties. So, I dialed my mother-in-law's phone and said cautiously: "Mother-in-law, we have seriously considered your request, but now our financial situation is indeed a little tight, and we are not able to cope with such a large expense. ”
The mother-in-law was silent on the other end of the phone for a while, and then said softly: "I know that your current situation is not easy, but this house means a lot to Mi'er, and I really hope you can help." ”
I took a deep breath, my heart filled with helplessness. My mother-in-law's expectations weigh heavily on me, but we really can't easily cope with such financial pressures. I tried to say in a gentle tone, "Mother-in-law, we will really try our best to help, but it will take some time to think about and prepare. Hope you understand. ”
The mother-in-law sighed on the other end of the phone, and her tone was a little helpless: "Okay, I know it's not easy for you either." But I hope you can give an answer as soon as possible, after all, time waits for no one. ”
After hanging up, I felt a heavy heart. My mother-in-law's expectations made me feel that I couldn't refuse, but the realistic considerations made me feel that I couldn't accept them. This question left me in a dilemma and unable to make an easy decision.
Xiaokang walked over and patted me lightly on the shoulder, "Xiaolin, don't be too anxious, we will discuss a solution together." ”
I nodded, looking at Xiaokang gratefully. At this critical time, I feel incredibly relieved to have his support and understanding. We decided to discuss it first and find a solution that would take care of my mother-in-law's feelings and protect our own lives.
Over the next few days, Xiaokang and I were in full swing discussing my mother-in-law's request. We looked at the family's finances and thought about various possible solutions.
"Xiaolin, I thought of a way. Xiaokang looked at me with a serious face, "We can discuss with my mother-in-law and say that we can help out with some of the money temporarily, but it will take a while to raise the remaining amount." ”
I listened and nodded, "yes, that seems to be a good idea." Mother-in-law may understand our difficulties. "We decided to get in touch with my mother-in-law right away to discuss the details of the plan.
"Mom, we want to talk to you about buying a house for our brother. I called my mother-in-law and said in as calm a tone as possible, "We're willing to help with some of the money, but it will take a while to raise the rest of the money." ”
After hearing this, the mother-in-law was silent for a while, and then said, "Well, I understand your difficulties. Raise as much as you can, and I'll wait for your reply. ”
Xiaokang and I breathed a sigh of relief, and this solution seemed to be acceptable to everyone. We decided to make a concrete plan as soon as possible and start raising the remaining amount.
A few days later, Xiaokang and I made a detailed plan, including cutting some unnecessary expenses, increasing working hours to increase income, and so on. Although there will be some difficulties and challenges in this process, we are determined to overcome everything and complete the task as soon as possible.
In the end, with my mother-in-law's understanding and support, we managed to raise the remaining amount and help my brother buy his own house. The process was challenging, but it also brought us closer together and became a stronger family.
Mother-in-law expressed her gratitude for our help and was proud of our unity and efforts. At family gatherings, my mother-in-law frequently praised our kindness and sense of responsibility, which made us feel very gratified.
"Xiaolin, Xiaokang, you guys are amazing!" the mother-in-law smiled and patted us on the shoulder, "Thank you for your help, I really appreciate helping you buy a house." ”
Xiaokang and I glanced at each other and saw the joy and satisfaction in each other's eyes. "Mother-in-law, you are too polite to say this. I smiled and said, "We are a family and we should help each other." ”
Xiaokang continued: "Yes, mother-in-law, you and Dad have worked hard for so many years, and we can do something for you, and this is what we should do. ”
When the mother-in-law heard this, her eyes welled up with tears, "You are really my good boys. She said with emotion, "Your father and I also hope that you can be happy and have your own family and career." ”
This family gathering is full of warmth and touching. We share the good times with my mother-in-law and feel the warmth and happiness of the family.
In the days to come, we continue to work hard to create a better life for our families. My mother-in-law is also more relieved, knowing that with us, the happiness and unity of the family will always be stable.
In the end, we proved our filial piety and responsibility to our mother-in-law with practical actions, and also made the family relationship more harmonious and harmonious. This experience has become a precious treasure in our lives, making us more aware of the importance of family and the meaning of mutual tolerance and support.
This story teaches us that family is the most important support in our lives, and only with the unity and support of family members can we face all the challenges in life. May our family always be happy and go through every difficult and beautiful moment together.
