Opening the basket of things my mother-in-law gave me, I was teary-eyed when I saw something tightly and carefully tied with a message
My wife and I work in the city. Although the job is stable, the level low salary, the standard of living is getting higher and higher, so we don’t have much to spare. However, every month I save 2 million and send it back to Husband’s parent.
Last week, my wife and I went back to our hometown to play. When I returned to the city, my mother-in-law gave me a bag of food. Which is green vegetables, ready-made chicken, duck, meat soaked in fish sauce,… When I got home, I opened the basket to take things away, but I was surprised to see a black bag. In the black bag was a stack of money and a note.
“The money the two of you sent, my parents saved it and now I give it back to my children. I heard Titus said that he wanted durian but his mother had no money to buy it. I bought the boy a really big fruit to eat. The rest save money. Don’t send money to your parents anymore, they live well.”
The scribbled handwriting but the heartfelt message made my eyes sting. I showed it to my husband, he was as surprised as I was. I asked my son, he honestly asked his grandmother to ask about our life. He said that he lacks money, he has to wear old clothes, and sometimes my car breaks down and I have no money to fix it, but I have to hitchhike a colleague’s car…
I scolded my son once, but I also regretted that I did not give him a full life like friends. I am more love my husband’s parents than. Perhaps they did not give money to me and my wife because they were afraid we would refuse, so they secretly put it in their bags like this.
Should I put this money away, wait until I return to my hometown, then give it back to my husband’s parents? Or do I do as she says, save this money and take care of my son?
