My cousin laughed at me for marrying a countryman and seeing her again five years later. How should I face her?

Americans are more popular than others. There are always many people in life who are willing to compare themselves with others. Others must have their own, whether they are relatives, brothers and sisters, or classmates and friends. They are constantly comparing who is good and who is bad. But I'm different. I don't like to compare with anyone and I don't want to surpass others. I just want to be myself. Happiness is the most important thing.

I live in a small county with good family conditions. My parents usually make a lot of money in business. My brother and I live a carefree life and have never suffered anything since childhood. I think this ordinary life is enough, but my uncle's family always says that my father has no fighting spirit and can't do great things. He always compares who has better conditions, and always compares our younger generation.

My uncle has a daughter. She is my cousin. She was smart since she was a child, got good grades, was popular with her classmates, and was particularly beautiful. So uncle always told my dad that his daughter was so excellent that I was not outstanding at all. He always laughs at our family. My brother and I were particularly disgusted, so we studied hard, expressed our anger at our parents, and asked them to look up and speak with a bright face.

Finally, my cousin and I were admitted to the same university, where my cousin was very popular and many boys pursued her. So my cousin shows off to me from time to time, but I don't care at all. I have my own circle of friends and life. I just need to study hard and be happy every day. She will show me the designer bags, jewels and lipsticks that suitors give my cousin, so that I can learn to dress up. Maybe I will get expensive gifts in the future. I looked at her disdainfully, didn't speak, just felt ridiculous.

After graduating from college, I found a good job, while my cousin worked in an ordinary company. She said that she could live well without working hard. I almost believed it. Later, I did not fall in love. I work hard and earn money. Every month, I make money to go home. Although my parents are not short of my money, it is also my filial piety. They accepted it gladly and thought I had given them a long face.

My position is getting higher and higher, and my salary is naturally much higher. At this time, a handsome and clean boy confessed to me that it was my husband. He is from the countryside and his family is particularly poor. He is an only child. But he doesn't care about having money at home, but he has come to the present by his own efforts. He is a smart, capable, particularly talented, mature and steady person. He said that he admired me very much, felt that I was particularly enterprising and filial, and began to have a good impression on me. Of course, he is not bad either. After getting along for a while, we are officially together.

I took my husband home during the Spring Festival and decided to get married. My cousin happened to be there, laughing in front of me that I married a peasant and lived a poor life, and that my husband was not qualified to give me happiness. I answered angrily, I want to do what I like and love the people I love. My cousin will laugh at me because she married the boss of a company. Although she is not handsome, she is rich. My cousin lives a housewife's life. Anyway, my family is very supportive. I feel very happy and don't care about anything else. In this way, my husband and I became justified couples.

After marriage, we started our own business and wanted to break out of our own world. We eat instant noodles and rent a house every day. Sure enough, many things happen. We started this company in three years. Although small, it benefits every day, and I believe it will develop into a big company. My husband and I were very happy to set up our own company together, bought our own house and began to live a stable and happy life.

Five years later, the company has become bigger. I often drive out shopping and play around because my husband doesn't want me to suffer any more. Suddenly one day, I saw an ordinary-looking man downstairs in the company, who looked like my cousin. I gave a cry and she turned and left. I chased her, and when I saw her again five years later, my cousin was so down and out. She said hello awkwardly and bowed her head. I smiled when I saw her like this. Now I know that my cousin is divorced, because her husband is not only a woman, but also my cousin has no good job. Because my cousin divorced, no one wanted to marry her, so she became so down and out. So! You have to rely on yourself in everything. I can't control myself even when I meet rich people. Bitter before sweet may be happier.
