Mother-in-law goes to buy meat and vegetables

My husband and I have been married for three years. Because my husband's family is from the countryside, I didn't ask for their bride price when I first got married, so I saved money. My mother-in-law also chipped in to buy us a house, so I bought a house in the county by mortgage. Because my husband and I don't have high salaries, although we bought a house, our lives are relatively tight, so my mother-in-law has been reluctant to live with us, fearing that going to the city will increase our burden.

Because my mother-in-law can grow some fields by herself in the village, she can't bear to part with the land, so she will grow some vegetables. After all, there are few places to spend money in rural areas. Every time my husband and I go back to our hometown, my mother-in-law will bring us a big bag of side dishes. My mother-in-law said that living in our city costs money and food is expensive. Every time my husband and I take her to stay, my mother-in-law always refuses with such an excuse, and she knows that it is not easy for us.

Later, I was pregnant and gave birth to a baby. My mother-in-law insisted on coming to live with us in the city just to help us take care of the baby. Because we have to pay the mortgage, I can't stay at home after giving birth. I have to go out to work and share the mortgage with my husband, so my mother-in-law takes on all the big and small affairs at home. It's really much easier for me that her mother-in-law is here. Every time I go home, I can have hot dishes and hot meals. My mother-in-law helps me take good care of my baby. When I get home, I always help my mother-in-law with housework. She always lets me rest, saying that I'm tired enough to go to work, and I don't have to worry about things at home, just let her do it.

I remember one time, because our family just changed the loan that month, my husband was slow to pay it back, and the child was ill in hospital that month, which cost a lot of money and almost no living expenses. They also spent almost all their savings before buying a house and renovating it. Later, my mother-in-law said to be frugal every month, so as to save some money. Later, it was true that my mother-in-law could keep 300 yuan a month for living expenses, and our living standard was not because.

My mother-in-law usually goes back to eat after cooking. That day, I just got off work early. I opened the door and went into the kitchen. All the dishes outside faded, so I silently watched my mother-in-law unscrew a layer of dishes outside. I think maybe my mother-in-law went to the market to buy food late, so she didn't buy fresh vegetables. The next day, I got off early, because I thought my mother-in-law was going to take care of the children and buy food, so I went to the market by the way.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the vegetable market, I saw a familiar figure, picking dishes that some vendors didn't want, and bargaining with others when buying meat, just to save two dollars. Many people in the vegetable market pointed to my mother-in-law, and the vegetable seller said, "This old woman has been picking up these unwanted vegetables here every day for two months, and she has to have the lowest price to buy food." This old rural lady really doesn't know how to lose face. Listening to others' humiliation to my mother-in-law, and looking at that smile on her face, my eyes turned red and tears flowed down my nose.

I went over and took my mother-in-law's hand and helped her carry the food home. My mother-in-law said that although they felt ashamed of me, they could save you some money, so you would work less. Then my mother-in-law asked me if I felt ashamed of her. How can I be ashamed of such a good mother-in-law? I just feel that my husband and I don't have much ability to let her enjoy life and let her suffer with us. If my husband and I were rich, my mother-in-law wouldn't be laughed at like that. My heart is very uncomfortable, but my husband and I will work harder. I believe our family will have a good life in Qi Xin. Thank you for being so kind to us!
