When my mother-in-law was starving, I cried when I saw my grandmother’s rice bowl, I knew the reason

I did not want to go back to my hometown to stay, but my husband insisted on obeying. He said that he was still busy with many things, did not have time to take care of me and the children, and when he returned home with his mother, he felt secure. My mother died early, my father had a new family, so I could not rely on my grandmother’s house. Unable to convince my husband, I finally had to wipe my tears back to my hometown to stay at home.

When I went home to stay at home, I cried every night because my mother-in-law treated me badly. My husband does not have a very high salary, but he is certainly still enough to support his wife and children. He told me to rest assured, he sent money to my mother. Yet every meal she fed me with extreme poverty, with only some wild vegetables picked from the garden, and three pieces of bitter salty roasted pork. Other than that, nothing else. The food was so meager that I couldn’t eat rice.

Too bad I called my husband to complain, at first he told me to tell his mother, but the situation did not improve. The next time I told my story, my husband yelled at me to try to bear it, don’t ask for more, eat whatever you want. I fell into a deadlock, every night I washed my face with tears. The mother-in-law is harsh, the husband turns his back and no longer loves his wife, and I don’t have a grandmother’s house to go back to, I can only look at my children and try to get through the day.

Yesterday’s dinner was only vegetable soup and a little sesame salt, I couldn’t eat so I was too hungry at night to go to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat. Suddenly I met my mother-in-law in there, she was eating dry cold rice with a little white salt and a few thousand bought a kilo.

I was startled to realize that the mother-in-law did not have real money, not that she deliberately mistreated her daughter-in-law. But why is that?

“I’m not going to have a home to live here anymore, it’s okay to eat a few meals with salt.” The mother-in-law blurted out a sentence that shocked me. I nervously asked her what. Finally, she told me that my husband had lost his business and owed a huge amount of money. She sold this house to pay off his debt, but it still hasn’t paid off. Fortunately, the buyer was kind enough to let her stay for a while. She also said that my husband in the city may have escaped debt, without money to pay the creditor will not let him live in peace.

Or do I divorce, build a new life for myself, find another happiness? (Illustration)

I cried and called my husband, then he confessed everything was just as my mother said. Currently, he has fled to the South, following some friends. He will try to find a job, settle down, and then pick up my mother and daughter and her mother-in-law there.

I looked at my baby and cried. Her mother-in-law saw that and did not bother to console her, perhaps she was also desperate and suffering to the point of dumbfounded. Why is our fate so miserable? My husband is a good person, loves his wife and children, but he always makes a loss. I do not know how to calculate business but borrow everywhere, even loan sharks to do business. My husband’s quick temper and lack of careful thought pushed my family into the dead end. The mother-in-law also lost her whole family because of her son.

Now I see a bleak future. Should I wait for my husband to settle down and then go there with him, family reunion? Or do I divorce, build a new life for myself, find another happiness? Don’t blame me for being unfaithful because I really see a dark future with my husband. Are you sure he can become a solid support for my mother and me in the future, or will another part leave the country because of debt evasion?
