After I got pregnant, my mother-in-law in the countryside gave me a bag of oranges. When I finished eating, I saw money in the bag. Should I accept it?

My husband and I met at work. Country people don’t have so many requirements when looking for a partner. They just need to see the other person be honest and treat them well. We got married not long after we met. My husband and I worked for several years and bought a house in the city, so we moved from the village to the city.

Later I got pregnant. After three or four months of pregnancy, I took maternity leave and went home to raise my baby. My husband was busy with work at that time, but as soon as he got home, he would do this and that, and buy various supplements, for fear that I would be tired and not nutritious enough. In addition, my husband also signed up for a maternity training class and took me with him on weekends.

He did not dare to be careless about the regular check-ups ordered by the doctor. No matter how busy he was, he would take me there himself, for fear that something might go wrong. Under the careful care of my husband, I gave birth to a fair and fat son. We are very happy.

I am in confinement and need someone to take care of me, and my baby also needs someone to take care of me. My husband is so busy at work and certainly can’t take care of me. I suggested inviting an aunt, but my husband said he was worried about it. Finally, he went back to his hometown and brought his mother-in-law over.

My mother-in-law was in the countryside far away from the city, and it took her a long journey to get there. When she arrived, she didn't bother to rest. Instead, she took out big and small bags of food, saying that she grew them in the countryside and they were fresher and more delicious than those in the city.

My mother-in-law gets up early every day, makes breakfast, and then goes shopping alone. Not long after my mother-in-law came to the city, I was afraid that she would get lost because she didn’t know the way, so I asked my husband to come back from get off work and buy groceries, so that my mother-in-law could cook.

My mother-in-law would make soup for me every day, telling me that I should take more supplements after giving birth to prevent any underlying diseases. The chicken soup she made was made from chickens she raised in the countryside. She didn't want to eat them, so she made soup for me.

My mother-in-law especially likes to tease her grandson, and she will laugh when her grandson laughs. Usually my mother-in-law doesn't go out very much, and she doesn't dare to go far, so she just hangs around downstairs in the community. She will definitely watch TV when she wakes up for a nap. My mother-in-law particularly likes watching TV and often sees me falling asleep on the sofa alone.

Later, she often chatted with me about things in the country and interesting things about the neighbors. I know that my mother-in-law wants to go back to the countryside. There is no one to chat with her here, and she must be bored at home all day long. I feel a little guilty, why didn’t I think of this level before?

After the confinement period, I told my husband to send my mother-in-law back to the countryside. She didn’t like it here and her whole day was boring. My mother-in-law thought that I disliked her, but she actually didn’t know that I was afraid that she would be unhappy. After my mother-in-law returned home, she called me almost every day, asking about the situation of my baby and me. She was afraid that I wouldn't be able to take care of her, and she even asked my husband to make more soup for us.

Not only that, my mother-in-law always sends us a lot of fruits she grows, saying that she can’t finish them all, and waste is also a waste. There was a time when my mother-in-law sent so much fruit that I couldn’t even put it in the refrigerator. I asked her to stop sending it to us and take some to sell. She said I would ask her to send it after she finished eating it.

Later, when we had almost finished eating a bag of fruit, I found a small bag. When I opened it, I saw that it was full of change, but there were a lot of wrinkles. At that time, a warm current came to my heart. . I called my mother-in-law, who said she didn’t have much to give you. Use the money to buy more clothes and food for your children. I’m old and don’t have much to spend my money on. Hearing this brought tears to my eyes.

In the evening, my husband and I said that I would take the baby back to the countryside to be with my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law is too lonely alone and she should let her grandson accompany her. We went back with the baby the next day. I wanted to spend time with my mother-in-law, and this time it was me who took care of her.
