Graduating from school, changing from school uniform to wedding dress, we got married in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, four years have passed.
My parents repeatedly hinted over the phone, "The neighbor's son is two years younger than you, and his kids are running around everywhere," "The guy down the street is three years younger than you, and his kids are already in kindergarten."
But they don't know, I'm also working very hard, but my wife's belly is still quiet. Before getting married, both families officially met. My university associate professor father-in-law saw my rural parents with a look of disdain on his face, constantly wiping his hands with a tissue: "Will they also come to your wedding!" Those are my parents, not only will they come, but they will also be on the stage to receive the tea ceremony from the new couple! You've read so many books, but you can forget such etiquette!
Deputy Director mother-in-law Almost had to turn my nostrils to the sky: "Ah, how do we introduce ourselves to relatives and friends?"
"Son, your parents are useless, embarrassing you. Look at Lili, so beautiful, with a good family background. You must not show your stubbornness!" My mother looked at me with pleading eyes, quietly tugging at my clothes.
"I came to meet the in-laws today, not to be a laughingstock!" My father glared at me.
It doesn't matter if I feel wronged, but I can't let my parents, who have raised me for over 20 years, be humiliated again! Moreover, they came to give a dowry. According to the highest standards in our area, they brought bright red tickets totaling a full 188,000, as well as mortgaged our old house and borrowed 300,000 from relatives and friends to buy us a new one.
On our wedding day, my parents appeared for a moment when we were serving tea. Jiang Xiaoli didn't even address them by name, just symbolically said, "Dad, please have some tea" "Mom, please have some tea."
After the elders left the stage, ignoring my repeated pleas, they insisted on returning to the hotel, and then quietly returned to Annam hometown.
They are afraid that I will lose face in front of the bride's relatives and friends in the future!
If it weren't for my parents' beating, scolding, and pleading with me, I would have fallen out with that vulgar family a long time ago!
When we first got married, we lived with her parents, to be honest, those days were like being fried on a griddle.
The associate professor reads and drinks tea after work, while the mother-in-law watches TV. Jiang Xiaoli has never done any housework. I get up at 6 am every day to buy fresh vegetables because my mother-in-law demands it. My college teacher studied abroad and likes milk and bread, while my mother-in-law wants rice porridge and fried eggs. Jiang Xiaoli pays attention to the combination of meat and vegetables. At lunch, the professor wants to eat rice, and the deputy director wants to eat noodles. Because I come from the countryside, when the the Jiang family comes over, I am treated like a maid. No, I am not even as good as a maid because maids get paid, but I only have to work out of obligation.
Our class monitor Jiang Ruming came to bid farewell to our former counselor before leaving for the United States. I had prepared a table full of dishes and was about to take off my apron when my mother-in-law stopped me: "Make two more soups."
In the dining room, my father-in-law, mother-in-law, my wife, and her ex-boyfriend were chatting and laughing, toasting and exchanging cups, while I was burning with anger alone in the kitchen.
I really wanted to smash the dining table at them: You eat! Eat chicken feathers!
Dad and mom's words before leaving for Annam echoed in my ears: "Son, at this point, the only way forward is the broader path. Don't let your temper take over. Our family can't afford the turmoil!" That night, I broke up with Jiang Xiaoli, saying, "It's better to end the pain quickly. The two of us being together was a mistake from the start!" "Why?"
"What do you think?"
"My parents are like that, you don't have to be like them."
"What about you? Do you take me, your husband, seriously?"
"Who are you yelling at with Lili? You eat at my house, live at my house, and Lili is beautiful and has a good job. What about you? A nobody, working in a private company, with nothing to show for it..." My mother-in-law angrily scolded me outside.
"You little brat, come out here and see if I won't give you a big slap in the face...!" My father-in-law, not at all refined like a scholar.
So far, I have only just realized that apart from that night when I had a confusing relationship with Jiang Xiaoli, the two of us have been wrong from the beginning to the end. I quickly packed my things, took my suitcase and left: "See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at 9 o'clock tomorrow!" The professor and the deputy director did not expect me to be like this. They were shouting until they were hoarse, and froze with their hands raised. I took my suitcase and left without even looking at them.
Aren't you guys awesome? I'm not playing with you anymore, that's it.
But in the end, we didn't leave.
The next day, Xiaoli found me: "Honey, I didn't sleep well all night yesterday. It's all because I didn't consider your feelings and made you suffer... I have talked to my parents, and we will move out from their place!"
When I insisted on getting a divorce, my parents called and said, "If you still want your parents to live, then be honest and live with Lili!" I felt pressured again. We bought this house here.
When signing the house purchase contract, Deputy Director's mother-in-law caused trouble again: "My name should be on the property deed!" I looked at Jiang Xiaoli, and she looked back at me without saying a word. Deputy Director's eyes were full of pride and arrogance.
I gave the staff a look, and she immediately handed over the POS machine, saying, "Hello, ma'am, please swipe your card."
Deputy Director immediately turned her face and said, "What are you doing? It's not like I'm buying a house!"
Do you even know that it's not you buying the house!
Although the house was bought after marriage, the money for the house was all from my father. Why should I put your name on it? What are you thinking!
mother-in-law pulled father-in-law to sit on the side and watched me sign angrily.
