Li Xiaoyun and her husband Zhang Ming have been married for three years and have always been in a sweet relationship. But after marriage, Zhang Ming's personality has undergone subtle changes. He began to ask Xiaoyun to hand over his salary twice in three days, and even asked Xiaoyun to hand over the dowry of the year to Zhang Ming's mother.
"All this money belongs to the two of us, why should you give it all to your mother?" Xiaoyun frowned, unable to understand Zhang Ming's thoughts.
"My mother is old and not in good health, so we should take care of her more. Your salary and dowry should be used to support your family, not to spend it yourself. Zhang Ming looked like he took it for granted.
Xiaoyun felt very aggrieved and helpless. She knew that her mother-in-law was getting older and really needed more care. But she is also a daughter, and the dowry her parents gave her back then was also a heart. Now that her husband is about to abandon them all, Xiaoyun feels that her status and dignity have been violated.
"You're depriving me of my rights! Why should I give all my money to my mother? You can't pay for our living expenses, so what qualifications do you have to ask me to do that?" Xiaoyun retorted excitedly.
Zhang Ming frowned, "How can you say that?" We are husband and wife and should share family responsibilities. I'm disappointed that you're so stubborn. "
The dispute between the two intensified, and the atmosphere became more and more tense. Xiaoyun felt that her status was squeezed by her husband and mother-in-law, and she had mixed feelings in her heart, and even regretted marrying Zhang Ming in the first place. She quietly made up her mind that she must find a way to make this selfish husband regret it.
After the quarrel, Xiaoyun returned to the bedroom alone, tears streaming down her face. She really didn't expect that married life would turn out to be like this. At the beginning, she and Zhang Ming were just a pair of ordinary young people, who loved and knew each other, supported each other, and planned the future together. But now, in order to satisfy her selfishness, Zhang Ming wants to deprive her of her due rights and dignity.
Xiaoyun sat on the edge of the bed with her knees crossed, recalling the bits and pieces of the beginning. Zhang Ming is a gentle and considerate good man, always by her side silently supporting and encouraging her. They met in college, they are both only children in the family, and they both yearn for a warm little home. After getting married, Zhang Ming took care of Xiaoyun wholeheartedly and gave her meticulous care. But now, he has become so selfish that he has completely forgotten his original vow.
"Aren't we supposed to share family responsibilities? Why did you take all my money from your mother?" Xiaoyun muttered in pain, tears streaming down. She couldn't understand Zhang Ming's thoughts, and she couldn't accept his request. This man who once made her fall in love has now become so ruthless.
At this moment, Xiaoyun remembered her parents. At that time, her parents gave her a dowry that cost a lot of money, which was the savings they had accumulated over the years. Now, Zhang Ming actually asked her to hand it all over to her mother-in-law, which is undoubtedly an insult and betrayal to her parents. The more Xiaoyun thought about it, the more angry she became, and she was determined to defend her rights.
"But my mom hasn't been in good health lately, so we should take care of her more. Is there anything wrong with your money being used to take care of her?" Zhang Ming is still stubborn.
"But all this money belongs to the two of us, what qualifications do you have at your disposal? I also have my own living expenses, don't you think about my feelings?" Xiaoyun felt very aggrieved.
"Why can't you understand my thoughts? We are husband and wife and should help each other and share family responsibilities. You're so stubborn, don't you care about my mother's situation?" Zhang Ming's tone became more and more excited.
"However, have you ever thought that this money is also saved by my parents for many years? If you want me to give it all to your mother, isn't that tantamount to insulting my parents' hearts?" Xiaoyun retorted with red eyes.
Hearing this, Zhang Ming finally wavered a little. He remembered that when he proposed, Xiaoyun's parents generously gave them a large dowry. Now that he wants to take it all, this is indeed a bit unworthy of Xiaoyun's parents.
Seeing that Zhang Ming was silent, Xiaoyun took the opportunity to continue, "Zhang Ming, we are a family, and we should be considerate of each other. I also know that your mother's situation is not very good, we can discuss and give her some living expenses, but the rest of the money should be left for our own life. After all, we also need to plan for our future. "
Zhang Ming was silent for a long time, and finally nodded, "Okay, then do as you say." However, in the future, your salary should still be handed over to me, and we will manage the family finances together. "
Hearing this, Xiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief. Although Zhang Ming is still a little stubborn, at least there is room for negotiation. She decided to communicate more with Zhang Ming in the future to let him understand her thoughts. After all, they are husband and wife and should understand each other and work together to protect the interests of the family.
At this moment, Xiaoyun suddenly thought of a brilliant idea. She smiled slightly, thinking about the next countermeasure. Perhaps, this is the key to making Zhang Ming truly regret it.
Xiaoyun thought about it again and again, and finally came up with a brilliant idea. She decided to use her own way to make Zhang Ming truly realize her mistake.
In the evening, when Zhang Ming returned home, Xiaoyun took the initiative to mention the matter to him.
"Zhang Ming, when I was tidying up my wardrobe yesterday, I found the dowry given by my parents back then. Do you remember? That's what my parents have worked hard to accumulate over the years, and it's all their hearts. Xiaoyun gently stroked the jade jewelry in her hand, tears flashing in her eyes.
Zhang Ming looked at the jewelry in Xiaoyun's hand and was silent for a moment, "I remember, it was a set of valuable jade jewelry. Your parents were so generous. "
"Yes, these pieces of jewelry are precious mementos to me. I can't bear to give them all to your mother, can you understand my feelings?" Xiaoyun looked at Zhang Ming, her eyes full of pleading.
"Okay, then you'll keep the jewelry. However, in the future, your salary will still be handed over to me, and we will manage the family's expenses together. Zhang Ming said compromisedly.
Hearing her husband's words, Xiaoyun felt a little relaxed in her heart. She knew that she couldn't completely deny Zhang Ming's thoughts, after all, it was indeed their responsibility to take care of her mother-in-law. However, she must stick to her bottom line and uphold her rights and dignity.
At this moment, Xiaoyun suddenly thought of a brilliant idea. Her eyes lit up, and she whispered to Zhang Ming: "Since we want to jointly manage the family's expenses, why don't we go to the bank to open a joint account and deposit my salary and your salary into it." In this way, we can discuss together how to allocate the household expenses. "
Zhang Ming thought for a moment and nodded, "That's a good idea, let's go open a joint account tomorrow." However, in the future, you still have to deposit all your salary, and then we will discuss how to distribute it. "
"Okay, so be it." Xiaoyun smiled slightly, thinking about the next countermeasures in her heart.
In this way, Xiaoyun and Zhang Ming opened a joint account. Every month, Xiaoyun will deposit all her salary, and Zhang Ming will also transfer her salary to this account. They regularly discuss how to allocate the family expenses, taking care of the needs of the mother-in-law without neglecting their own living needs.
Gradually, Zhang Ming also realized his previous mistakes. Gradually, he learned to communicate with his wife and respect her ideas. Xiaoyun has also become more considerate of her husband and takes the initiative to care about her mother-in-law's life. As a result, the relationship between the two has become more harmonious.
One day, Zhang Ming suddenly remembered the excessive demands he had made. He felt guilty and took the initiative to apologize to Xiaoyun, "I'm sorry, my previous thoughts were really too selfish. We are husband and wife, and we should be considerate of each other and work together to maintain this family. In the future, I will definitely respect your ideas more and take good care of my mother. "
Hearing her husband's apology, Xiaoyun felt a warm current in her heart. She held Zhang Ming's hand and whispered, "It's okay, I also understand your consideration at that time." We are a family and should support each other. As long as you can respect me, we will be able to run this family together. "
Since then, Xiaoyun and Zhang Ming's relationship has become more harmonious. They discuss family affairs together, understand each other, and work together to maintain this warm little home. And the dowry that once caused disputes was also kept properly and became a witness to their happy marriage.
Time flies, and Xiaoyun and Zhang Ming's lives gradually become calm after opening a joint account. The two began to learn to be considerate of each other and discuss how to allocate the family's expenses. Xiaoyun will regularly allocate a part of the money to Zhang Ming's mother, and Zhang Ming will also set aside Xiaoyun's living expenses on a regular basis. Although there are occasional small arguments, they can always be resolved through communication and compromise.
One day, the weather was exceptionally sunny and sunny. Xiaoyun rarely had time to rest, so she decided to go out for a walk alone. She slowed down and took a leisurely stroll through the streets.
Along the way, Xiaoyun noticed that many stores were selling heavily to attract customers to the store. She couldn't help but remember that when she married Zhang Ming, her parents had also prepared a rich dowry for her. That exquisite set of jade jewelry is still carefully kept by her today. Whenever she thinks of this, a warm current swells up in Xiaoyun's heart.
"Those dowries are the hearts of my parents, and I must protect them well." Xiaoyun thought silently, and her steps involuntarily accelerated.
At this moment, she suddenly saw a set of exquisite jadeite jewelry displayed in the window of a high-end jewelry store. This set of jewelry is very similar to the one given by her parents, and Xiaoyun can't help but stop and look at it.
In the window, the set of jade jewelry sparkles in the sunlight, like a work of art. Xiaoyun reached out and gently stroked the glass, as if she could feel the temperature of those gems. She couldn't help but think back to the time when her parents had prepared this set for her.
It was on the eve of her college graduation that her parents took her to pick out this set of jewelry. Xiaoyun still remembers that her parents were full of relief and pride on their faces at that time. While admiring the beauty of the jewelry, they said with emotion: "This set of jewelry is what we have worked hard to accumulate over the years, and I hope you can cherish it and pass it on in the future."
Thinking of this, Xiaoyun's eyes couldn't help but moisten. How she wished that she could always protect this parent's heart, but Zhang Ming once wanted to hand it all over to her mother-in-law. At that time, the pain and grievances in her heart are still vivid in her mind.
Just as Xiaoyun was immersed in her memories, a clerk walked out and greeted warmly, "Miss, what are you looking at?" This set of jadeite jewelry is the latest addition to our store, and it is very beautiful. Would you like to come in and have a look?"
Xiaoyun came back to her senses, looked at the clerk in front of her, and whispered, "No need, I'm just appreciating it." This set of jewelry is indeed beautiful, but I already have one. "
"Oh, you've got it. That's great, jadeite jewelry is very precious. You should definitely cherish it. The clerk said with a smile.
"Yes, this set of jewelry means a lot to me. It's something my parents have worked hard to accumulate over the years, and it's their heart. I will definitely protect it and pass it on. Xiaoyun nodded slightly, her eyes full of determination.
"You said it so well, the hearts of parents are the most precious. We hope you and your family are happy. The clerk said sincerely.
Xiaoyun smiled at the clerk, turned around and continued to stroll. She felt extra calm inside, as if her parents' care and blessings were surrounding her.
Back at home, Zhang Ming was watching TV in the living room. Seeing his wife come back, he took the initiative to greet him, "You're back, why have you been out alone for so long?"
"It's nothing, I'm just going out for a walk. I just passed by a jewelry store and saw a very beautiful set of jadeite jewelry. Xiaoyun said softly.
"Oh? How about that set of jewelry? Is there anything special about it?" Zhang Ming asked curiously.
"It's nothing special, it's just very similar to the one my parents gave me. When I saw it, I couldn't help but think of my parents' intentions at that time. There was a hint of sentimentality in Xiaoyun's tone.
Zhang Ming was silent for a moment, then reached out and gently held his wife's hand, "I know that set of jewelry means a lot to you. We must protect it well and let it be passed on. "
Hearing her husband's words, Xiaoyun suddenly felt a warm current in her heart. She felt that Zhang Ming not only understood her thoughts, but also took the initiative to protect her parents' intentions. This made her feel extremely relieved and happy.
"Well, we'll take care of it. This is not only our wealth, but also the heart of our parents. We must let it be passed on. Xiaoyun said softly, her eyes flashing with happiness.
From this moment on, the relationship between Xiaoyun and Zhang Ming became more harmonious. Not only did they understand each other, but they also began to cherish the kindness left by each other's parents. This fills their small home with warmth and happiness, and it becomes a truly happy family.
Time flies, and Xiaoyun and Zhang Ming's lives gradually enter peace. They have learned to be considerate of each other and work together to maintain this happy little family.
"These are the wishes of my parents, and I must protect them well." Xiaoyun said softly, her eyes flashing with determination.
At this moment, Zhang Ming came back from outside. Seeing that his wife was carefully sorting out the belongings at home, he couldn't help but approach and ask, "Honey, what are you doing?"
"Nothing, I'm just sorting things out. You see, these are the dowries that my parents prepared for me back then. Xiaoyun gently picked up the set of jewelry and handed it to her husband.
Zhang Ming carefully looked at the jade jewelry in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh, "This set of jewelry is indeed very beautiful, your parents really invested a lot of money back then." "
"yes, they've worked so hard over the years. I've always kept them safe and don't want them to be disposed of. Xiaoyun said softly, tears flashing in her eyes.
Zhang Ming looked at the tears in his wife's eyes, and couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart. He remembered that he had proposed to hand over all Xiaoyun's salary and dowry to his mother-in-law, which was indeed a very selfish idea.
"Sorry, my dear, I was really selfish that time. We are husband and wife and should respect each other and work together to maintain the family. These jewels are in the heart of your parents, and we must cherish them. Zhang Ming gently held his wife's hand, and his tone was full of apology.
Hearing her husband's apology, Xiaoyun felt extra warm in her heart. She knew that Zhang Ming had realized her mistake at the beginning, and took the initiative to cherish these dowries. This made her feel extremely relieved and happy.
Since then, Xiaoyun and Zhang Ming's relationship has become more harmonious. Not only did they understand each other, but they also began to cherish the hearts left by each other's parents. Whenever they see that exquisite set of jadeite jewelry, they will be filled with emotion.
"These jewels bear witness to our love and also carry the blessings of our parents. We must protect them and pass them on. Zhang Minghui said softly to Xiaoyun.
"Yes, these jewels are not only our wealth, but also the hearts of our parents. We have to cherish them and keep them alive. Xiaoyun nodded slightly, her eyes full of happiness and determination.
In this way, Xiaoyun and Zhang Ming wrote their happy married life together. They are considerate of each other, and work together to maintain this warm family, so that the hearts of their parents can be passed on from generation to generation. This precious dowry has also become a testimony to their happy life.
