Compared to us, if the wife's family is more difficult, it is okay to give appropriate relief, after all, they are also the wife's biological parents, and we can't live a good life and watch them destitute.
However, my mother-in-law's family is like this, because there are some changes in the family, resulting in my father-in-law and mother-in-law have no economic income at all, my wife saw this and began to keep sending money to the family, but this hit is 5 years, we also have our own family to raise, that day I really couldn't help it: "Don't we need money as a family? I see that your parents are simply a bottomless pit! There will never be a end in sight!"
01
I was born in a small village in Henan, the family conditions are not very wealthy, since I can remember, my family has been planted with vegetable greenhouses, this time of year is the busiest time, and my parents have to go out to sell vegetables under the sun, which is also the only income in our family.
Ever since I was in elementary school, I had to have an unhappy childhood in such a family, and every Sunday, I had to work in the greenhouse with my parents, which was better in winter, but in summer, there were no people in it, and people couldn't stand the heat.
Every time I saw other children in the village playing there unscrupulously, my heart felt itchy, and I couldn't bear it anymore, so I said, "Mom, I don't want to work anymore, I also want to go out and play with them."
But my mother said, "Isn't it Sunday, if you can help us do some work, we'll do less, and besides, I don't want to do it, but if we don't do it, how can we provide for you to go to school, and for you to eat and drink?" ”
But in my thinking at the time, this was completely a moral kidnapping, after all, this is a job of your own choice, relying on hard work to earn money, and I have no free time.
This idea was only when I was ignorant when I was a child, so I thought like this, but now that I am older, I always want to be able to spend more time with my parents, even if it is to work together.
In order to be able to change this situation at home in the future, I made up my mind to study hard, because for us ordinary people, learning may not be the only way out, but it is definitely the easiest and most reliable opportunity to turn over.
Time is fleeting, I have already finished the college entrance examination, the day of the poor results, not only I was excited, even my parents were next to me and did not dare to breathe, after all, whether the fish can jump over the dragon gate depends on this time.
Nervously clicked on the word query, and then what caught my eye was a high score of 575! I instantly felt that all these years of hard work had not been in vain, and I finally got through.
In the following days, I have been observing schools in other places, and my father's biggest advice to me is: "You go to school in other places, don't be confined to your home all the time, go out to see more, and grow your own knowledge, your mother and I have been like this for the rest of our lives, and we don't have much chance to travel." ”
When I heard this, I felt very uncomfortable, because it was like stepping on the shoulders of my parents to see the world, they had worked hard all their lives, but they could not travel freely.
After I graduated from college, I came home and got a good job while taking care of my parents.
After working for more than a year, my career has begun to get on the right track, at this time, my second uncle who is far away from home has returned home, in my impression, he has hardly returned home, and it is good to see him once or twice a year.
Sometimes I asked my father, "Dad, why doesn't my second uncle come to the house all the time, is there any conflict at home?"
However, my father said: "No, your second uncle didn't like to live in the comfort zone since he was a child, and he wanted to break out of his own world, so he worked hard in other places all the year round." ”
In addition, the second uncle also found a daughter-in-law in the field and settled in the field, so the number of times he went home was even rarer, and he would only come back during the Chinese New Year.
It happened to be Sunday when I was resting, and I didn't know that my second uncle was back, but I heard my father shouting: "Oh, second brother, why are you back, what a rare guest, have you eaten, I asked your sister-in-law to cook some food for you"?
The second uncle said: "Brother, I'm not hungry, I haven't eaten yet, I'll eat later, haven't I been thinking about coming home to see you after the past two days, haven't I been home for a while?"
After hearing the movement, I hurriedly put on my clothes and got up, and greeted my second uncle, who said, "Xiaofei woke up, didn't go to work today?"
I responded briefly, and my father began to talk to my second uncle, talking about the recent situation or something.
When it was almost time to eat, my mother and I began to cook and bring out a bottle of good wine from the house for the two brothers to drink.
After three rounds of drinking, the second uncle said the purpose of his visit this time: "Big brother, I came here this time because I have something to do, I have earned a small amount of money in Yunnan, and the business is getting bigger and bigger, I want to find a family member to help me do business together, people outside are always a little unreliable."
My father said, "I'm so old, I can't keep up with my head, and I can't follow you to do business."
In fact, the second uncle has already looked for a candidate, and it depends on whether my parents agree or not: "Big brother, sister-in-law, I want to take Xiaofei out to do business, now he is still young, he has to go out to take a look, and he will be clever and can do things, so you can see if it will work."
At this time, my parents hesitated, and their hearts definitely didn't want me to go, because the second uncle couldn't come twice a year, let alone me as young as I was, so they looked at me and wanted to know what I thought.
After thinking about it, I said to them: "I am willing to go out with my second uncle to work hard, after all, I am still young, even if the business is not good, can't I come back and continue to work?"
Naturally, my parents couldn't say anything, after all, the sky was high and the birds could fly, and they didn't want to restrain me because of this, since I was willing, I must have to give it a go.
My second uncle waited for me at home for a few days, asked me to pack my luggage, and then quit my previous job.
The two of us then embarked on the road of leaving home, and on the day of our departure, I saw that my mother had shed tears of reluctance, but we had already made up our minds.
02
After we arrived in Yunnan, the second uncle did not take me directly to work, but first took me around the surrounding area for a few days to see the scenery and food here.
On the day I started working, I learned that my second uncle was doing digital business here, and the task assigned to me was business, and I could push the business as wide as I could, and the most firm sentence for me was: "As long as you can beat our company's reputation, you don't need to worry about money, only more and not less, and usually run business to invite leaders to eat or something, everything will be reimbursed to me."
I have never seen such treatment, at first, almost all of them were the second uncle who personally took me to familiarize myself with the field of business, and over time, I no longer need the second uncle to take me to run the business.
Maybe I was born with a little business talent, as long as I go out to talk about business, there is nothing I can't negotiate, and this is when I understand some of the human sophistication that my father taught me since I was a child.
Shopping malls are like battlefields, and people are sophisticated in this area.
That day, I had just negotiated a business and drank a little too much, and just as I was about to go to the toilet in the private room, I accidentally bumped into a waiter, who was still holding food in her hand, and spilled her all at once, and my wine seemed to wake up instantly.
Hurriedly squatted down and picked up the plate, and said sorry to her, and at the moment I got up, I saw her face, which looked very innocent, and she was still a Vietnamese girl, and immediately fell into her appearance.
It was the leaders in the private room who heard the movement and came out to ask me what was going on, so I reacted, quickly stabilized the leaders, and asked them to go to the house to eat first, and I will solve it in a while.
So I said to the girl, "I'm sorry, do you have a change of clothes? I'll take your dirty clothes for you, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
The girl didn't say much, her mood was very stable, and then I asked for her contact information, wanting to compensate her.
Since then, I have come to this restaurant every time I talk about business, just to be able to meet this girl, and after some chatting, I learned that her original name was Li Yan, and her name was weird and nice.
Over time, our relationship also became familiar, and I would take her out for dinner and shopping whenever I had time.
That day, we were shopping for clothes, and my mother suddenly called and said, "Xiaofei, how are you doing, do you have a partner?"
I knew my mother was going to say that, after all, what mother doesn't want to hold her grandson.
At this time, I looked at Li Yan and said, "Mom, of course I have a partner, and I will be shopping for clothes with your daughter-in-law outside."
Li Yan blushed instantly when she heard this, she didn't know how to answer, and she didn't think I would say this, so I immediately laughed, and hung up the phone with my mother after a few simple words.
It was also this time that we confirmed the relationship between the couple, and it was two years to talk about it, and I was also at the age when I should talk about marriage, and my parents didn't have any opinions, it depended on what Li Yan's parents thought.
I took the initiative to tell Li Yan about it, so I went to her home with her, and when I saw her family, I realized that Li Yan's usual frugality was intentional.
Her family conditions are not very good, but what I like is Li Yan, and I don't have any opinion on this, after all, I am still from the countryside, and I am not one level higher than others.
At the time of dinner, I brought up the matter of marriage, and I could see that Li Yan's parents were not very willing and did not want their daughter to marry so far.
I often run business, and after I swore to them that I would never let Li Yan suffer any grievances, they reluctantly agreed to this matter.
Then I took Li Yan back to China to prepare for the wedding, and I never thought that I could marry a foreign daughter-in-law, and my friends were envious.
After the wedding, I took my parents directly to Yunnan, not wanting them to continue working at home, it was time for them to enjoy themselves.
Just when life was on the right track, something happened to Li Yan's family, and her father-in-law broke his leg because he didn't pay attention to safety at work, and the pillars of the family collapsed all of a sudden.

After Li Yan and I learned about this, we hurriedly rushed over, I could see that Li Yan had never shown such a distressed expression, I did feel a little bad in my heart, but the only thing I could do was financial support.
After leaving her father-in-law's house, Li Yan and I discussed that we wanted to give the family some money to live on, as long as it was enough for them to live, but when my father-in-law's leg was healed, let them find a light job to do.
I don't have any opinion on this, after all, they are her biological parents, and I married Li Yan, so I have to take care of these things.
But this support is only two years, and I asked about it at first, but Li Yan said that she didn't want her parents to work, they were old, and what if they were tired again.
Having said so, what can I do, but what I don't understand very much is that after these two years, Li Yan secretly increased the amount of transfers, and the money she received in a month was five or six thousand.
Or that day, I suddenly found out, so I questioned her: "Li Yan? In the past three years, you have secretly transferred to the family behind my back, and it has been two or three hundred thousand?
Li Yan was just silent about this, not knowing what to do.
I really can't stand this matter anymore: "Li Yan, you give me a solution, what should I do, I am also under a lot of pressure, if it continues like this, your family will be a bottomless pit sooner or later, and you won't see a head at all"!
Since then, we have quarreled over this matter for three days, not because I don't want to support, but because we have a family to support, so the pressure is really great, do you have any good solutions?
