My name is Mo Yunhao, I am 55 years old, and my wife passed away due to illness many years ago.
Over the years, I have raised my daughter as both a father and a mother.
I was afraid that my daughter would be wronged, so I didn't think about remarrying. After my daughter graduated from college, I thought about finding a wife.
Under the introduction of my cousin, I met Li Jiao. She is 5 years younger than me, and like me, she is widowed, and her son is already working, so she dares to think about remarrying.
Not long after we met, Li Jiao came to my house to help with housework. She is very neat in her work, skillful in her hands, and delicious in cooking.
Since Li Jiao came, I feel that my life has been rushing.
But her daughter didn't like her, saying that Li Jiao looked too scheming. I thought that my daughter probably couldn't accept her stepmother emotionally, so I ignored her.
Li Jiao and I lived together for a month, and we felt good about each other, so we got the certificate.

Li Jiao said that she didn't have any ceremony in her first marriage, and if she wants to hold a wedding this time, the requirements are not high, just be simple.
My idea is that we are both decades old, and we are married for the second time, so we don't have to go through a lot of trouble and just ask our brothers and sisters to have a meal together.
I was afraid that speaking directly would hurt Li Jiao's heart, so I told her euphemistically that no matter how simple the wedding was, it would cost tens of thousands, and we were old, so it was better to save this money for the children.
When Li Jiao heard this, she was silent for two minutes, and said okay, then there will be no wedding.
When I was happy for her reasonableness, Li Jiao asked me to give her the money for the wedding, which was regarded as a bride price.
When she said this, I was dumbfounded.
Before I could react, Li Jiaojiao said angrily: Then if I marry you, isn't it normal for you to give a bride price? Although you gave me tens of thousands of yuan, I have to serve you for the rest of my life, and you are worth it.
This...... Obviously, Li Jiao came prepared, but she didn't seem to be able to make a mistake, but my heart just wasn't very comfortable.
I said, I don't have a lot of savings, and the money is tight. If you don't give 20,000 yuan, the money is left hand to right hand anyway.
Li Jiao said, I am not willing to give up this little money, I just want to prostitute for nothing.
I don't know where she learned the buzzword, but I was stunned for a moment.
Later, I thought about it, forget it, I don't want to make each other unhappy when I am so happy to get married. gave Li Jiao 50,000 yuan, which was a bride price.

On May Day this year, my daughter brought her boyfriend home.
After eating, I rummaged through the cabinets in my room, trying to give my daughter's heirloom (a piece of jade pendant given by my ex-mother-in-law) to my deceased wife.
I searched for more than half an hour, but I couldn't find it, and I found that my stamp album was missing.
The password of this safe is only known to me and Li Jiao. Before, she said that she wanted to put her jewelry in the safe for safekeeping, so I gave her the password.
I asked Li Jiao what was going on.
She began to look confused.
I didn't speak, staring at her closely. Li Jiaocai said that she was in a hurry to use the money and sold it.
At that moment, I was so angry that I wanted to punch her: No money, you tell me, what is it if you don't ask yourself? It was a family heirloom left to her by my daughter's grandmother, and your hand was stretched out, so dare to take it.
Li Jiao quibbled and said, if I didn't care so much about money, how would she think of selling jade.
She stole my daughter's jade and sold it, and in the end it became my fault, can this reason be crooked like this?
No matter how Li Jiao argued, I insisted that she take the piece of jade back, it was a family heirloom for my daughter, and there was no need to discuss.
The next day, I don't know what method Li Jiao used, she actually got the jade back. I stared at it with a magnifying glass for most of the day, and only after confirming that it was correct, did I breathe a sigh of relief.
I warned her with a straight face that I wouldn't be so forgiving next time.
Li Jiao looked at me aggrievedly, looking at me with pity. My heart softened again, and comforted her and said that she would discuss something with me in the future, we are husband and wife, and she has something, and I will not sit idly by.
The stamp album was sold as soon as it was sold, and I didn't want to deepen the conflict between husband and wife for this matter, so I didn't say anything more. Life is back to normal.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, my daughter said that she was going to get married, and my heart blossomed.
I'm just a daughter, and of course I'll do everything I have for her. In addition to giving 200,000 yuan as a down payment for her daughter's house, she also gave her all her mother's jewelry, and added some new ones.
I'm planning my daughter's dowry. Li Jiao came over and said that her son was also getting married, and she wanted to borrow some money from me to buy some gold jewelry for her daughter-in-law.
The couple said to borrow, it seemed to be outdone, although it was not my own son, but as a stepfather, I should also show a little affection.
For Li Jiao's sake, I promised to give my stepson a wedding of 50,000 yuan and buy a gold bracelet for my daughter-in-law.
I gave 30,000 yuan and asked Li Jiao to buy two gold bracelets, one for her daughter-in-law and one for my daughter, so that it looks decent.
Li Jiao quickly picked out two gold bracelets and came back. I have to say that a woman's vision for choosing jewelry is better than that of a man, and the styles she chooses are novel and good-looking.
Before the stepson's wedding, we went to drink his wedding wine.
At the wedding, I saw my daughter-in-law wearing two gold bracelets on her hands, one on each side. It's just that this style is very familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere.
But when I thought about it, maybe my daughter-in-law's family bought it, but I just happened to buy the same style.
When my daughter-in-law toasted, I took a closer look, and the pair of gold bracelets were bought by Li Jiao.
Li Jiao watched me staring at my daughter-in-law's bracelet, coughed, and then she gave me a look. I realized I was losing my temper and went on with the toast.

After the wedding, with doubts, I went to open the safe as soon as I got home and took out the gold bracelet I had bought for my daughter. Unexpectedly, the bracelet was attracted by the magnet next to it, and I immediately understood what was going on.
I called Li Jiao and asked her to see the bracelet that was sucked. She looked at my flushed face with anger, her eyes dodging.
I took the bracelet, panting, and stared at Li Jiao to see if she had anything else to say.
After a while, Li Jiao burst into tears and said that she couldn't give her son anything when he got married, and she blamed herself very much. Watching me prepare all kinds of dowries for my daughter, this comparison made her feel uncomfortable. She also said that she married me and got nothing but to earn a meal.
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, so she gave both gold bracelets to her daughter-in-law and bought a fake one for my daughter.
I listened to Li Jiao's words and thought about what she did. Then I scolded her for being too greedy, my stepson got married, I gave 50,000, and I bought a gold bracelet for my daughter-in-law. My daughter got married, what did she give besides verbal blessings?
Who knew that Li Jiao actually broke the jar and broke it, she yelled at me, saying, the water spilled by the married daughter. When the daughter gets married, she is someone else's family. No matter how much dowry I give, it's all cheaper than people with foreign surnames.
Hearing her words, I couldn't help but think, could it be that she married me because my family was a daughter, and she thought that it didn't cost much to get married, and then the money could be spent on her son? This abacus bead is loud enough!
Looking at the hideous Li Jiao, I don't seem to know her anymore.
There is a saying: Halfway husband and wife are thieves, and they don't have a heart. It seems that this is the case.
After the argument, I calmed down and filed for divorce.
After this incident, I thought about it, let's live alone in the future. felt lonely, so I helped my daughter take the baby, teased her grandson, and was too lazy to think about those things anymore. Otherwise, why bother?
I also remind all middle-aged and elderly friends that if you plan to remarry, you really need to be cautious, at least you must figure out the character of the other party first!
