Speaking of my marriage, I have to start with my husband and I meeting for the first time two years ago. Since my family lives in a village not far from my husband's home, since I just started working, the matchmaker nearby has come to match my husband and me. In our local area, many parents will tell their daughters about a marriage as soon as possible for the sake of family reputation. My parents are no exception. They made a choice for me after doing some research on my husband's family.
Compared with other ordinary families, husband's family is different. Their whole family is hardworking. In addition to stable jobs, my parents-in-law also planted an apple orchard in the field. In other words, their family's annual income will include some income from selling apples in addition to normal wages. Because of this, my parents soon agreed to let me get along with my husband.
After that, we got along like lovers. Because our parents and matchmaker arranged each other again and again in the middle, our in-laws decided our marriage after getting along for less than a year. The wedding was not as perfect as I expected. My husband's wedding was very low-key, which made me feel embarrassed. And it was raining lightly that day, and I was really in a bad mood.
Although this happens from time to time at weddings, fortunately, it all ended successfully in the end. After marriage, we lived in the same yard with our in-laws, and my mother-in-law gave me a cold feeling. She didn't talk to me casually, but she didn't show any dissatisfaction in front of me or have any unhappiness with me, so I think her mother-in-law is a very easy-going person.
But the truth is not what I imagined. Although my mother-in-law has never expressed dissatisfaction with me, she always likes to make some demands on me in a roundabout way. In order to let me help in the apple orchard, she always tells me about her neighbor's daughter-in-law. She said that she was sensible and capable and could help her family make money. I naturally recognized the meaning of my mother-in-law, so I immediately went to help.
Although my mother-in-law's behavior makes me feel bad, these things are nothing in the final analysis. But something happened not long ago, but I can't stand it anymore. That day, my mother-in-law suddenly told me that she saw a beautiful pearl necklace hanging around her neighbor's neck. Obviously, she just wants me to buy her a necklace as a gift.
Then I bought one for her online and sent it to her room when the goods arrived. When she saw the necklace, she smiled at me with satisfaction and asked me how much it was. Knowing that I spent more than 200 yuan, she took out a box of apples from my room and asked me to share some apples with my family.
Just as I was about to pick up the box and leave, I suddenly heard my mother-in-law whisper, "This box of apples 100 yuan, you can send another box for free." I was in a good mood, but after hearing her whisper, I was instantly unhappy. I didn't expect her to be so serious about me. Then I took out my wallet and put a hundred dollars into her hand. I just want her to know that I gave her a gift and didn't expect her to give me money at all. You said, did I do the right thing?
