She is 33 years old, with a salary of 7,500, her husband gives durian to her mother-in-law, she doesn't give it to her son, she leaves it for her brother-in-law
My name is Li Xiaoli, 33 years old this year, I work in finance in a foreign company, my salary is 7500, my husband Wang Qiang is a primary school teacher, the salary is not high, but he is honest and takes care of his family. We have a 5 year old son named Xiaobao, who is lively and cute, and is the pistachio of our family.
Although life is not rich, it is also passable. But since my father-in-law passed away two years ago, my mother-in-law moved in with us, and our peaceful life began to ripple a little.
My mother-in-law is a very traditional woman, diligent and thrifty, but also a little eccentric. Her favorite is her brother-in-law Wang Gang, who has been eating and using good food and good things since he was a child. Wang Gang is also accustomed to being favored, he is lazy to do it, he changes jobs twice in three days, and asks his family for money in three days.
I don't say anything about my mother-in-law's partiality, but I feel very uncomfortable in my heart. Wang Qiang and I worked hard, supported our family, and took care of our children and mother-in-law, while Wang Gang was idle and enjoyed it all with peace of mind.
Last Saturday, Wang Qiang came back from work, holding a big durian in his hand, with a smile on his face: "Mom, your favorite durian, I specially picked a big one!" ”
When the mother-in-law saw the durian, she smiled: "You are still filial, you know that I love to eat this." ”
I sighed secretly in my heart, Wang Qiang's monthly salary is more than 5,000, and he has to subsidize his family, so he is reluctant to buy things for himself, but he is willing to spend hundreds of yuan to buy durian for his mother-in-law. And I have a monthly salary of 7,500, but I have never taken the initiative to buy anything for my mother-in-law.
When I think about this, I feel a little unbalanced.
After dinner, Wang Qiang skillfully opened the durian, and a rich fragrance suddenly filled the room. Xiaobao smelled the fragrance and clapped his hands excitedly: "Wow, durian!" I want to eat! I want to eat! ”
I was about to take a piece to Xiaobao, but my mother-in-law stopped me: "Xiaobao, this durian is too hot, you can't eat it, wait for your uncle to come back and eat it." ”
I was stunned for a moment, Wang Gang didn't know where he had gone these days, and the phone couldn't get through, who knows when he will come back?
"Mom, it's not certain when Wang Gang will come back, Xiaobao can let him eat if he wants to eat, just eat a small piece, it won't get angry."
"No! Children can't eat too much durian, they will have nosebleeds! The mother-in-law's tone was resolute and unquestionable.
I wanted to say something, but Wang Qiang pulled the corner of my clothes and signaled me not to say anything more.
I sighed helplessly and had to put the durian back in the fridge.
Xiaobao saw that he couldn't eat durian, so he flattened his mouth aggrievedly, and was about to cry when he saw it.
I picked up Xiaobao distressedly and comforted: "Xiaobao, the durian is too big, shall we eat it tomorrow?" ”
Xiaobao nodded as if he didn't understand, and then stopped crying.
At night, I lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Mother-in-law's partiality and Wang Qiang's foolishness and filial piety all made me feel cold.
The next morning, I got up early in the morning, took out the durian, cut it in half, wrapped it in plastic wrap, and put it in the freezer of the refrigerator.
"What are you doing here?" Wang Qiang saw my actions and asked suspiciously.
"It's nothing, the durian is too big, it's easy to spoil if you can't finish eating, I'll freeze it and eat it slowly in the future." I said lightly.
Wang Qiang didn't think much about it, nodded, and went to work.
In the afternoon, Wang just came back, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Mom, I'm hungry, what do I have to eat?" ”
"There's durian in the fridge, your brother bought it yesterday." The mother-in-law said enthusiastically.
Wang Gang opened the refrigerator and saw the remaining half of durian, and immediately smiled: "Brother is really good, knowing that I love durian!" ”
I watched it all with a cold eye and didn't say a word.
In the evening, when Wang Qiang came back from work, he saw that there was only a small piece of durian left, and asked in surprise: "Why is there only so little durian left?" ”
"Oh, I ate half of it this afternoon." Wang Gang said casually while playing with his mobile phone.
Wang Qiang was stunned for a moment, then understood something, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.
"You ......"
"What's wrong?" I interrupted Wang Qiang's words and said calmly, "Wang Gang rarely comes back, let him eat more if he likes it, it's no big deal." ”
Wang Qiang opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything.
I know that Wang Qiang is also uncomfortable, but he always cares too much, and he doesn't dare to resist his mother-in-law or offend his younger brother.
I looked at Wang Qiang's helpless appearance, and my heart was even more uncomfortable.
At night, I lay in bed and kept thinking about all these years.
I suddenly realized that I had wronged myself too much all along. I worked hard, was filial to my mother-in-law, and took care of my children, but I didn't get the respect and rewards I deserved.
I decided, I'm going to change all that!
The next day, I found Wang Qiang and had an open and honest conversation with him.
I told him that I understood his feelings of filial piety to his mother, but I also had my own bottom line. I am not against filial piety to my mother-in-law, but I am against unconditional favoritism in my brother-in-law.
I told him that we are a family and that we should respect and understand each other, rather than blindly forbearance and sacrifice.
I told him that I hoped he would work with me to build a fair, just and harmonious family environment.
After listening to my words, Wang Qiang was silent for a long time.
I knew that my words had a big impact on him, but he eventually nodded and promised to try to change.
Since then, Wang Qiang began to try to refuse his mother-in-law's unreasonable demands, try to keep his distance from his brother-in-law, and try to protect my interests.
While the process of change is not easy, we are all working on it.
I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to build a happy family!
