My family has always been a happy and harmonious little world, and our son Xiao Ming is our pride, he is smart and sensible, and his work is smooth. However, when he returns home with his bride, Xiaoling, everything starts to look different.
Xiaoling is a beautiful, intelligent girl, but her intimacy with her is like an insurmountable wall. I tried to close the distance between me, but she always seemed to be detached and hostile to me.
One day, Xiaoling suddenly approached me, and I was shocked by her proposal. "Mom, I want my mother to come over and help you take care of the children, and give her 5,000 yuan a month to take care of her grandchildren, so that she also has an income."
My heart sank to the bottom. Is this her attitude towards her family? A deal? I began to wonder if I had been fooled, thinking that this was a continuation of family affection, but I didn't expect it to be just a transaction.
I tried to ask her calmly, "Xiaoling, are you serious?" Do you think I'm a bank? ”
She smiled, but didn't answer my question, just said, "Mom, I believe you have this ability." ”
I felt hurt and I felt let down. I began to re-examine their relationship, and I began to wonder if their marriage was really happy and if it was really based on love.
I decided not to be deceived and hurt by her anymore, and I was going to make changes and get myself back on my feet. I am no longer soft-hearted for her dealings, and I want to protect myself and my family from being taken advantage of by her.
This story shows us how delicate and complex the relationship between family and money is. Sometimes, we think we're helping others, but in reality we may just be being taken advantage of.
