Xiaohong is an ordinary rural girl who finally married her first love, Zhang San, after working in the city for many years. After marriage, her relationship with her in-laws has not been very harmonious, and her mother-in-law often finds fault with her way of doing things, which makes her feel wronged.
One day, Zhang San suddenly told Xiaohong that his parents had borrowed 60,000 yuan from Xiaohongniang's family, but they were reluctant to return it. Xiaohong's heart suddenly had mixed feelings, not only worried about her family's situation, but also angry at her in-laws' dishonest behavior.
"What can I do? My mother's family is not very rich now, where is the extra 60,000 yuan. I've got to find a way to get them to pay it back!" Xiaohong said anxiously to Zhang San.
Zhang San sighed helplessly: "You also know my parents' temper, it's not easy to get them to take the initiative to repay the money." You might as well talk to my parents first and see if you can negotiate a repayment plan. "
Xiaohong nodded, her brow furrowed. She understands that it will take a lot of effort for her to make her in-laws repay the money. But for the sake of her family, she is ready to make sure that they are convinced to pay off the money.
Xiaohong is determined to get her in-laws' family to pay off the debt, so she musters up the courage to go to her in-laws' house to find a solution. When her mother-in-law saw her, she immediately frowned: "What, what are you making trouble again?" We'll pay back your mother's money, don't rush so hard. "
Xiaohong took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible: "Mother-in-law, it's not appropriate to delay this money for too long." My mother's family is not very wealthy now, and I need to use this money to turn around. Otherwise, can you discuss a repayment plan with us?"
"A repayment plan? Hmph, do you think our in-laws just borrow money casually? If you want to pay it back, can you take care of it?" The mother-in-law said with a sneer.
Xiaohong felt a tense feeling in her heart, she knew that her mother-in-law had always been short-tempered, and it was difficult to communicate with her well. But for the sake of her family, she still patiently persuaded: "Mother-in-law, I know that your situation is not easy, but this is my mother's money after all." If we keep dragging it out, it's not good for both sides. Otherwise, let's discuss, can you pay back a little bit every month and pay it off slowly?"
"Discuss? Hmph, you really think of yourself as a master. It's not your turn to dictate our in-laws!" The mother-in-law snorted coldly, turned around and left, leaving Xiaohong standing there alone, full of grievances.
Looking at the back of her mother-in-law who left angrily, Xiaohong felt tears rolling in her eyes. She knows very well that it may not be easy to convince the mother-in-law and his wife who are determined not to repay the money to pay off the arrears.
Just when Xiaohong returned home depressed, Zhang San saw that his wife was strange. He asked with concern: "What's the matter, didn't you discuss the repayment with my parents?"
Xiaohong said with red eyes: "Your parents are not willing to pay back the money at all, and they also say that this is their in-law's business, and it is not my turn to take care of it." I talked to them so well, but they just wouldn't cooperate. "
Zhang San sighed, stretched out his hand and patted his wife's shoulder comfortingly: "Don't be sad, I know you are anxious about your family." I will communicate with them again, and I believe that I can always find a way to solve it. "
Xiaohong nodded, trying to squeeze out a smile. She knew that in order for this stubborn mother-in-law couple to pay off the arrears, she and Zhang San would probably need to find a way together. However, for the sake of her family, she will definitely try her best to convince them to repay the money.
After communicating with Zhang San, Xiaohong decided to take the initiative to find her mother-in-law again. This time she was extra cautious, hoping to convince the other party in a more tactful way.
"Mother-in-law, I know that you and Dad have been working hard for the family, and I thank you for your efforts. However, this money is really needed by my mother's family, and if it continues to be delayed, it will not be good for both of us. Otherwise, can we discuss that you can pay back a little bit every month and pay it off slowly?" Xiaohong said cautiously.
The mother-in-law frowned and was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "You girl, it's just too much to talk about." It's not your turn to dictate the affairs of our in-laws. If you want to pay it back, it's not a big deal. "
Xiaohong felt a pang in her heart. She knew that her mother-in-law's temper had always been like this, but she still couldn't help but redden: "But mother-in-law, this money is very important to my mother's family." If you keep putting it off, we're probably going to be in a big mess. We don't want you to pay it off all at once, as long as you can pay it back a little bit every month, we're satisfied. "
"Hmph, what kind of predicament is not predicament, do you think our in-laws are so easy to bully? We have our own proportions. You don't cry for me here, I'm annoyed!" The mother-in-law said impatiently, turned around and left.
Xiaohong stood in place, tears finally coming out of her eyes. She knew that it would be more difficult to convince the hard-hearted mother-in-law and his wife to repay the money than to ascend to the sky.
Back home, Xiaohong told Zhang San what had happened. Zhang San was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "It seems that my parents don't plan to pay back the money at all." I'll talk to them again and see if I can figure it out. Don't be too upset, I'll help you figure it out. "
At this moment, Xiaohong suddenly thought of an idea. She hurriedly said to Zhang San: "Zhang San, I have an idea. Why don't we find a notary office and ask my in-laws to sign an IOU? In this case, if they can't pay back the money in the future, we can ask for it through legal means. "
Zhang San thought for a while and nodded: "That's a good idea. My parents have never been very fond of lawsuits, and if they signed an IOU, they might be able to make them feel more conscious. We'll go to the notary tomorrow and see if we can fix it. "
Xiaohong breathed a sigh of relief, and hope was rekindled in her eyes. She knew that although this method was a bit tough, it would undoubtedly be a great blessing for her family if she could finally pay off the arrears.
At the same time, the relationship between Xiaohong and Zhang San is also deeper. Although Xiaohong was frustrated by her in-laws' attitude, Zhang San always gave her support and understanding. Although the couple was a little helpless in the face of their in-laws, their mutual understanding and support for each other made people feel warm.
After some twists and turns, Xiaohong finally asked her in-laws to sign an IOU at the notary office. Despite her mother-in-law's displeasure, Xiaohong breathed a sigh of relief. At least now, the in-laws finally have the responsibility and pressure to repay the loan.
Back at home, Xiaohong stared carefully at the IOU, which clearly stated the date and amount of repayment. She clutched the thin piece of paper tightly, her heart full of mixed emotions.
On the one hand, she is glad that she has finally found a way to get her in-laws to pay back. This money is indeed very important to her mother's life, and if it continues to be delayed, the family may be in great trouble.
But on the other hand, she felt a little worried and guilty. After all, such a tough approach will inevitably further deteriorate her relationship with her in-laws. My mother-in-law has always been short-tempered, and once she knows that she has signed an IOU, she may be even more unhappy.
Little Red sighed deeply and carefully placed the IOU in the drawer. She knew that in the coming days, she would have to keep an eye on her in-laws' family to make sure they repaid on time. This will undoubtedly make her relationship with her in-laws even more strained.
At this moment, Zhang San walked in and asked with concern, "What's the matter, you're sitting here alone in a daze?"
Xiaohong looked up at her husband, with mixed emotions flashing in her eyes: "I'm wondering if we did something wrong." Would my mother-in-law be even more angry if she found out that we had made them sign an IOU?"
Zhang San gently took his wife's hand and comforted: "Don't worry, this is for the benefit of the family." I believe that as long as they repay the loan on time, sooner or later they will lose their temper. Don't worry too much, I'll be there for you all the time. "
Xiaohong nodded, barely squeezing out a smile. She knew that what Zhang San said was very reasonable. But she still can't help but worry about whether this practice will further deteriorate her relationship with her in-laws.
At this moment, the shout of her mother-in-law came from the courtyard: "Xiaohong! You come out for me!"
Xiaohong suddenly became nervous and walked cautiously to the courtyard. I saw my mother-in-law's face pale, and she looked like she wanted to swallow her life alive.
"You little girl, you dare us to sign at the notary office! Do you think our in-laws are bullying?" The mother-in-law shouted loudly, looking menacing.
Xiaohong took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible, "Mother-in-law, I know you may be angry, but this is really for the benefit of our family. If you keep putting it off, we're probably going to be in a big mess. We don't want you to pay it all at once, as long as you can pay it off on time. "
"Do you think we're just borrowing money? You're too embarrassed to tell me this!" The mother-in-law's voice became louder and louder, "If you dare to take care of our family's affairs again, I think you will dare to stay here in the future!"
Xiaohong felt tears rolling in her eyes, but she still held back and didn't cry. She knew that such a tough approach might indeed make her mother-in-law even more unhappy, but for the sake of her family, she had no choice.
At this moment, Zhang San hurriedly walked out and tried to persuade his mother-in-law: "Dad, Mom, don't be angry. We also asked you to sign this IOU for the sake of your family. If you can repay the loan on time, we won't bother with it in the future. "
"What's good at home? Who do you think you dare to tell us this!" The mother-in-law glared at Zhang San angrily, "If you want to pay it back, it's not a big deal." Get out of the way, don't bother us again!"
After saying that, the mother-in-law returned to the house angrily, leaving Xiaohong and Zhang Sanmian looking at each other, full of helplessness and worry.
Xiaohong held her husband's hand tightly and whispered, "Zhang San, what should we do?" If they really don't pay back, my mother's family will be in real trouble. "
Zhang San sighed and comforted: "Don't worry, I'll find a way to communicate with them." We'll definitely find a way to fix this. "
Xiaohong nodded, trying to squeeze out a smile. She knew that in the coming days, she and Zhang San would probably face many difficulties and challenges. But for the sake of her family, she will definitely persevere and let her in-laws pay off the arrears at all costs.
At the same time, the relationship between Xiaohong and Zhang San is also deeper. Despite the difficulties, they supported and understood each other. This kind of mutual care between husband and wife makes people feel warmth and hope.
After a fierce argument with her mother-in-law, Xiaohong and Zhang San returned to their room, and both of them were silent. Xiaohong held her husband's hand tightly, her eyes full of worry.
"Zhang San, I really don't know what to do. If they really don't pay back all the time, I'm afraid my mother's family will be in a big predicament. Xiaohong whispered.
Zhang San sighed and comforted, "Don't worry, I'll find a way to continue communicating with them." We'll definitely find a way to fix this. "
Xiaohong nodded, trying to squeeze out a smile. She knew that Zhang San had always been filial to her parents, and it was difficult to really say anything to them. But for the sake of her family, she must find a way to let her in-laws pay off the arrears.
At this moment, Xiaohong suddenly thought of an idea. She hurriedly said to Zhang San: "Zhang San, I have an idea. Why don't we find a middleman and ask him to discuss the repayment with his mother-in-law?"
Zhang San thought for a while and nodded: "That's a good idea. My parents have never been very fond of lawsuits, and if there is an intermediary to persuade them, maybe they can make them feel better. We'll go find someone familiar tomorrow and see if we can fix this. "
Xiaohong breathed a sigh of relief, and hope was rekindled in her eyes. She knew that although this method was a bit tactful, it would undoubtedly be a great blessing for her family if she could let her in-laws finally pay off the arrears.
"Uncle Li, this matter in our family is really too troublesome. Can you help us talk to my mother-in-law and ask them to pay off the debt as soon as possible?" Xiaohong pleaded sincerely.
Uncle Li pondered for a moment and nodded: "I understand your family's difficulties. I will try my best to convince your in-laws, hoping that they will understand your situation. But you have to give me some time, after all, it is not an easy task. "
Xiaohong nodded again and again: "No problem, Uncle Li." If you can help us convince them, we appreciate it. "
Uncle Li smiled slightly and patted Xiaohong's shoulder: "Don't worry, I'll do my best." Wait at home, I'll talk to them. "
Xiaohong and Zhang Sanmu sent Uncle Li away, full of hope. They believe that with Uncle Li as the middleman, the in-laws should always take the initiative to pay off the arrears.
Sure enough, in less than a week, Uncle Li came back with good news. Xiaohong and Zhang San hurriedly greeted him, only to see Uncle Li with a relieved smile on his face.
"Children, I had a good talk with your in-laws. Eventually, they agreed to pay off a portion of the arrears each month and slowly pay off the arrears. Uncle Li said.
Xiaohong and Zhang San were suddenly amnesty, and the two couldn't help but hug each other and cry. This time, they finally solved this long-standing problem and eliminated a major hidden danger for their family's life.
Back home, Xiaohong felt that the burden in her heart had finally been lifted. She hugged Zhang San, and tears flowed involuntarily.
"Zhang San, thank you so much for your continued support and understanding. If you hadn't been by my side, I'd have given up a long time ago. Xiaohong whispered.
Zhang San hugged his wife gently and whispered in her ear: "Xiaohong, I know that this time must not be easy for you. But I will always support you, no matter what difficulties come your way. If we work together, we will be able to get through it. "
Xiaohong nodded, showing a happy smile that she hadn't seen in a long time. She knew that although her in-laws' attitude had always made her feel helpless, as long as she had her husband's support, she would be able to overcome all difficulties.
At this moment, Xiaohong finally felt the beauty of life. She believes that as long as she and Zhang San work hand in hand, they will be able to create a happy future together.
In terms of emotional expression, I try my best to make Xiaohong and Zhang San's inner world more delicate and plump. Xiaohong's initial worry and helplessness finally led to her final relief, a change that fully demonstrates her tenacity. And Zhang San always gave his wife support and understanding, showing the image of a good husband.
