My mother was old and weak, so I had to ask my mother-in-law to take care of the children so that the couple could go to work with peace of mind.

My family is in the city, my father is an official, my mother is a housewife, and my wife’s parents are both farmers. When we first fell in love, my wife was quite self-deprecating because of her rural background, but I always encouraged her not to think too much. My father-in-law passed away a long time ago, we only have 2 daughters, so my wife is very worried about her biological mother.

Meanwhile, my parents are very comfortable, never disparaging her family situation. Every time we go to my mother’s hometown, my parents also send gifts to my in-laws.

After 2 years of marriage, when the economy was stable, we bought an apartment to live in, my wife got pregnant.

When my wife gave birth to a child, although my mother was nearby, she was old and weak, so she could not come and take care of my grandchild. That’s why I had to ask my mother-in-law to take care of my grandchildren so that the couple could go to work with peace of mind.

My mother-in-law is an experienced babysitter, she has taken care of her sister’s two children, so bathing, feeding, changing diapers… are all very good.

Grandma came to live with us, so I sometimes remind my wife to buy her something, that, and then she also gives 1-2 million when she goes back to her hometown. However, she only received gifts and money, but I have never seen her mother-in-law receive them.

When my son was 3 months old, his mother-in-law said that she could stay here and take care of him until he was strong enough to go to school. I was overjoyed at the news when her last statement made me fall back. She said that when she came here to take care of her grandchildren, she had to quit her job in the fields and had no income, so our responsibility was to give her 8 million per month.

I don’t think the mother-in-law is asking for that much. It is true that my husband and I are also really high, but she asked for 8 million, which is more than what I hired to help.

Although annoyed with the request of the mother-in-law, but because I could not find a babysitter to help me, I had to agree with her. I also do not dare to frankly express my thoughts to my wife because she is her biological mother after all. The sadness in my heart makes every day when I come home from work, I just wish to hear my wife announce that she has returned to her hometown.

When my son was 3 years old, I discussed with my wife to send him to school. To be honest, the epidemic hit my salary and bonus, and I still had to give 8 million to my mother-in-law, which made me very sad.

Fortunately, my wife agreed to send me to school, every month I only spend 4 million to pay for my children’s schooling, and my mother-in-law will return to her hometown.

That day, I took her to the bus station because my wife had to leave early in the morning. Before leaving, she called me to sit down and gave me a bag of money over 200 million. She said this is the amount we give her every month, she asked us for 8 million to help us save more, so far she gives it to us to add to buy a car to travel. fig. She said she did not have a son, so she never considered “son-in-law as a guest”.

That action was enough to show that she really cared and loved us, but I have long thought unfairly of her.

Hearing those words of my mother-in-law, I put my hand over my face, my eyes stinging and almost crying. At that time, only regret and shame remained in me. I promised myself that I would treat her as my biological mother, treat and behave.
