When I gave birth to a baby, my sister-in-law gave me 200 yuan. When she gave birth to a baby, I gave her 2,000 yuan. My mother-in-law found it too little.

When I gave birth to a baby, my sister-in-law gave me 200 yuan. Now that she is giving birth, I give her 2,000 yuan. My parents-in-law said that my gift was too little and my husband secretly added money behind my back. I should have been angry, but my mother-in-law said something and made me decide to increase the gift to 9,900 yuan.

My husband Xiao Yang and I are college classmates. My family is local and we can just take the bus to school. I am the only daughter of my parents, and I am particularly favored at home.

Xiao Yang and I met at a relative’s house. He was tutoring English for my relative’s children. When my relatives saw me greeting Xiao Yang and asked about Xiao Yang, I started to pay attention to Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang is thin and looks taller. I nicknamed him Zhugao, and he wasn't bothered by the nickname I gave him. He said he could be called whatever I wanted.

Maybe it’s because I started to pay attention to Xiao Yang, and we bumped into each other often. When I went to the library, I saw him doing a work-study program. When I went to another relative's house, I saw him helping with math tutoring. He won a national scholarship in his freshman year.

My parents and I talk about Xiao Yang more and more often. Every time I talk about him, I always get excited. My mother says that I am in love. I chuckled and said, "No way? But Xiao Yang didn't confess his love."

The grades of the relatives' children improved under Xiao Yang's guidance. The children also liked Xiao Yang very much and even brought Xiao Yang with them. The classmates went home together for Xiao Yang to tutor. Xiao Yang was not upset and still charged the price originally agreed upon.

Relatives all praise Xiao Yang for his intelligence and good character. It made my mother want to meet Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang and I became boyfriend and girlfriend in our junior year.

After graduating from college, Xiao Yang became a junior high school teacher. The school was not far from my home, and I continued to study for graduate school.

My mother likes Xiao Yang very much and lets me take Xiao Yang home for dinner when she is free.

My mother said: "Your father and I only have a daughter, and we just want to keep you by our side and have someone to take care of you."

Xiao Yang is really good at taking care of others. Everyone in my family is rushing to work. My parents fell in love with Xiao Yang more and more, and even urged us to get married.

After I graduated from graduate school, our family went to Xiao Yang’s house. It was my parents’ idea to arrange the marriage between Xiao Yang and me as soon as possible.

Xiao Yang’s parents are very simple farmers and seemed a little embarrassed about our arrival.

Speaking of our marriage, Xiao Yang’s parents said that it was her family’s blessing to marry Xiao Yang, but their annual income was so meager that they could not afford the betrothal gifts and housing prices in big cities.

My parents said that I am an only child and they will have Xiao Yang and me to support them in the future. I wonder if this is acceptable?

Xiao Yang’s parents did not object, saying that as long as Xiao Yang and I get along well.

As for the child, Xiao Yang’s parents said that both boys and girls like it. As for the child’s last name, my parents don’t care, and my parents-in-law didn’t mention it either.

The parents had a great chat. My dad also said that when we get married in the future, he would take my mom to Xiao Yang’s hometown to farm with his parents-in-law when he has time.

Xiao Yang and I are married, and our married life is very sweet.

I was pregnant, and my mother happened to be retired. My parents-in-law had land to farm, so they didn’t come to take care of me during the confinement period, but they prepared various things and sent them over, including soil from home. Eggs and honey.

When the child was one month old, the parents-in-law gave the child a red envelope worth 6,600 yuan, and the sister-in-law’s red envelope was 200 yuan.

Although I don't value money, I still find it a bit incredible. If my sister-in-law is really in difficulty, she doesn't need to give her child a red envelope.

Xiao Yang’s sister is one year younger than me and married in a neighboring village. He got married earlier than Xiao Yang and I, but we never had children.

I rarely ask about Xiao Yang’s family affairs, and I rarely meet with my sister-in-law, let alone say a few words, so I don’t worry about it.

Two years later, my sister-in-law gave birth to a boy. Everyone was very happy. Xiao Yang even specially said that they would go home together to have full moon wine.

Remembering that my sister-in-law gave me 200 yuan when I gave birth to my child, I asked Xiao Yang how much should I give as an uncle?

Xiao Yang said with some embarrassment, "I'm just a sister, just don't have too little, don't make it difficult for her to be a good person in her husband's family."

Although I didn't want to, I still agreed. I want to pay back the 2,000 yuan red envelope tenfold, so that I can finally be worthy of her.

On the way to my sister-in-law’s house after receiving my parents-in-law’s request, my mother-in-law asked me how much money I had given in red envelopes. When I said 2,000 yuan, my mother-in-law looked a little unhappy, but Xiao Yang was very calm.

After a moment of silence, the mother-in-law spoke first: "Isn't 2,000 yuan a little less? This uncle has to give a big red envelope. This is what the mother-in-law's family cares about the most."

"When I gave birth to my baby, my sister gave me a red envelope of 200 yuan." I have always cared about it.

"Weiwei (me), if you feel that you are at a disadvantage, can your dad and I lend you 4,800 yuan first and make up 6,800 yuan. I don’t want Xiao Xiao to suffer in her husband’s family, and I don’t want Xiao Yang to suffer either. Being laughed at," my mother-in-law said humbly.

I am actually not afraid of paying, I just think my mother-in-law is a little too much.

"Mom, I paid you back tenfold, how can you say that?" My tone was full of grievances.

"Weiwei (me), mom just talks casually, don't worry about it. Mom, you don't have to worry about these things" Xiao Yang smoothed things over.

"Weiwei, maybe you think we are biased. Such a request is too much. Your sister has suffered a lot from her husband's family in recent years. You and Xiao Yang are far away and you don't know her at all. It’s about the family. Xiao Xiao has not been studying since she graduated from junior high school and has been working outside. Your father and I are unable to afford schooling for our two children, so we can only let her work to support Xiao Yang’s education.” There were tears in my eyes at the time.

"Xiao Yang, in addition to you and your family, is where he is today because of Xiao Xiao's contribution." The father-in-law also helped Xiao Xiao speak.

Xiao Yang drove quietly, his right hand that was not holding the steering wheel clenched into a fist.

I can't accept it in my heart. Even if what my parents-in-law said is true, this shouldn't be the reason for me to give more gifts?

"Weiwei, when you gave birth to your child, Xiao Xiao's father-in-law got cancer, and she was also doing in vitro fertilization, and she really had no money. At that time, I advised her to tell you directly, I believe you will not I mind, but she wouldn't let me say it, and she said no matter how little she said, it was all her intention." The mother-in-law cried as she spoke.

My mother-in-law couldn’t continue talking.

"Mom, why didn't you tell me at that time? Xiao Yang, you also know, right?" I looked at Xiao Yang's red eyes and asked him.

"Xiao Xiao didn't let me say it." Xiao Yang's voice was a little strange.

"Xiao Xiao said, it took a lot of effort for me to have the life I have now. If I talk about her affairs, it will inevitably make you think that she wants to lend us money. The gift is small. Even if you hold grudges, you will only hold grudges. She will not affect our relationship." Xiao Yang's loosened hand clenched into a fist again.

"Weiwei, mom knows that she shouldn't ask you for this, but Xiao Xiao is also our child, and I don't want her to be criticized because of these things. You and Xiao Yang should stay away, If anything happens in the future, we will have to count on Xiao Xiao," the mother-in-law said.

I asked Xiao Yang to turn around and find the nearest bank to withdraw money. I didn’t have that much cash around me.

Xiao Yang asked me to open the red envelope and take a look. I took out the red envelope and it seemed to be bigger than before. Xiao Yang secretly added money.

I asked Xiao Yang, "Where did you get the money?"

"Honey, this is the money I borrowed from my friend. I really don't want to hide it from you, but I'm afraid that I can directly "You will be unhappy if I say 6,800 yuan."

"Of course I am unhappy. You don't treat me as a family member. If I hadn't mentioned this today, I would still be resentful of my sister's 200 yuan gift." "I pretended to be angry, "Turn around and go home, I won't eat this wine."

My mother-in-law blamed Xiao Yang for secretly adding money behind my back, and my father-in-law blamed my mother-in-law for not telling me about this.

I opened the navigation and found the nearest bank.

"How about 6,800 yuan? After all, I am also someone who wants to be an aunt. Since Xiao Yang is an uncle, of course I have to give 9,900 yuan, so that good luck will accompany my sister for a long time." I smiled Interrupt their mutual complaints.

@小谢talk about emotions

As Xiao Xie would say, this is really a heart-warming thing.

When my sister-in-law was in her most difficult time, she thought of her brother. I would rather let you misunderstand than let my own affairs affect your relationship.

Your husband is afraid that you will be unhappy if he directly asks you to give more gift money, so he secretly borrows money without telling you, hoping to satisfy his sister.

Your parents-in-law, when thinking about their daughter, are particularly concerned about your feelings.

The gift money is written in your husband's name, and your sister-in-law may not know it, but your mother-in-law humbly says that she is borrowing it from you.

You are also a very good person. After knowing the truth, you helped your whole family.

Such a family will definitely be able to live in harmony. It’s just that Xiao Xie wants to say: It’s better to communicate more when something happens, so as not to cause more misunderstandings.

I’m @小xie Talk about emotions, looking forward to meeting you in the world of words.
