My name is Li Juan, and I am an ordinary housewife. My husband and I have been married for ten years and have a lively and lovely son. I always felt like a happy woman until that day, a phone call changed my life.
It was an ordinary afternoon, I was doing housework when suddenly my phone rang. The moment I picked up the phone, I felt my heart beat faster.
"Hey, it's my mother-in-law." On the other end of the line, my mother-in-law's anxious voice came over.
"Mom, what's wrong?" I could hear her voice trembling a little.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm hospitalized, call 30,000 yuan to come and come for emergency." Her voice was full of pleading and anxious.
I was taken aback, thinking to myself, how could my mother-in-law suddenly be hospitalized? But I immediately reassured myself that it shouldn't be a big deal, otherwise my father-in-law would have called me a long time ago.
"Don't worry, Mom, I'll go and send you money." I immediately put down my chores, put on my coat and prepared to go out.
"Daughter-in-law, don't worry." The mother-in-law's voice was a little hesitant, "I'm at the door of the mahjong parlor." ”
I stopped, my mind in a mess. How could the mother-in-law be at the door of the mahjong parlor? Is it because you lost all your money in such a hurry? I suddenly had a sense of foreboding.
I hurried to the mahjong parlor, feeling uneasy. I know that my mother-in-law has always been a person who likes to play mahjong, but she has never said anything about asking for money in front of me. I was worried if she had been scammed or asked me for money because she had lost.
When I came to the door of the mahjong parlor and saw my mother-in-law sitting there, I suddenly had mixed feelings in my heart. She looked a little haggard, her hair was messy, and her clothes were a little wrinkled, and I could tell that she wasn't in such a hurry as she had just said, and that she might be deliberately irritating me.
"Daughter-in-law, you're here." When my mother-in-law saw me coming, she immediately stood up to greet me.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Why so much money all of a sudden? I couldn't help but ask.
"I'm hospitalized and need money for treatment." My mother-in-law looked flustered, as if she was afraid that I would not understand.
"Are you hospitalized? Why didn't you tell me? Is it because you lost money? "I was a little emotional and disappointed.
"No, I'm really sick." My mother-in-law hurriedly explained, "I did a physical examination and found some problems with my body, and the doctor recommended hospitalization for observation." ”
After listening to this explanation, my mood calmed down a little, but I was still a little worried. "Then why didn't you tell me earlier? We can discuss countermeasures together. ”
"I'm afraid you're worried." The mother-in-law's voice was a little low, "And I didn't want to ask you for money in the first place, but the medical expenses for this hospitalization are a bit high, and I can't afford it alone." ”
I looked at the sincerity and helplessness in my mother-in-law's eyes, and my heart began to soften. I know that my mother-in-law is a stubborn person who will not easily ask us for money, and she must have no choice but to do so.
"Okay, Mom, I'll go and send you money." I tried to stay as calm as I could, not wanting my mother-in-law to think that I was easily impressed by her.
"Thank you, daughter-in-law." The mother-in-law's voice was a little choked, "I'm sorry for worrying you." ”
I hurriedly took out my phone and prepared to send money to my mother-in-law, but then I received a text message. It was my husband who sent it: "Mom lied to you, she wasn't hospitalized at all, she lost all her money in the mahjong parlor." ”
I was stunned, and the phone in my hand almost fell to the ground. My mother-in-law saw the change in my expression and asked, "What's wrong?" What's the matter? ”
I slowly raised my head and looked into my mother-in-law's eyes, and a wave of doubt and anger welled up in my heart.
I tried to keep my emotions in check, not wanting my mother-in-law to notice that I had learned the truth. "It's nothing, should I help you send money first?" I forced a smile.
"Yes, daughter-in-law, I'm sorry for you." The mother-in-law looked grateful.
I opened the mobile banking app and started filling in the transfer information. But I've been struggling in my heart, should I ask my mother-in-law directly? Or do you want to inquire about the situation first? I know it's not a trivial matter, and I can't let it go easily.
"Daughter-in-law, what are you doing?" My mother-in-law looked at me a little hesitant and asked.
"I'm filling in the transfer information, and I'll send you money later." I replied casually, but my heart kept thinking about what to do.
At this moment, I heard a voice from behind me: "Li Juan, why are you here?" ”
I looked back and saw my friend Wang Yan. Wang Yan is my best friend, and we talk almost nothing. She also knew my mother-in-law, as we had been to her house together before.
"Wang Yan, what are you doing here?" I asked, somewhat surprised.
"I made an appointment with a few friends to play mahjong here." Wang Yan smiled and said, "What about you?" How is it alone here? ”
I glanced at my mother-in-law with some embarrassment, not knowing whether to tell Wang Yan about it. But I also knew that I needed a friend to help me analyze the situation and figure out how to solve it.
"Wang Yan, I have something to discuss with you." I decided to tell her about it.
"What's the matter? Go ahead. Wang Yan looked at me with concern.
I briefly described to Wang Yan the sudden request for money from my mother-in-law and the content of the text message sent by my husband. Wang Yan frowned after hearing this, "This thing is a bit strange, are you sure that your mother-in-law herself called you?" ”
"Yes, I can definitely hear my mother-in-law's voice." I nodded, "But she said on the phone that she was hospitalized, and now she says it's at the door of the mahjong parlor." ”
"It's kind of weird." Wang Yan thought for a while, "Why don't we rush to give money first, and inquire about the situation first?" ”
I nodded, thinking that the suggestion made sense. "Yes, we should find out first, and we can't act rashly."
Wang Yan glanced at her mother-in-law and asked, "Do you want to find a way to talk to your mother-in-law and see what is going on with her." ”
I nodded and turned to walk over to my mother-in-law. "Mom, can you tell me exactly why you were hospitalized?" I tried to keep my emotions in check and pretend to be calm.
My mother-in-law listened to me and hesitated. "I was just not feeling well, and the doctor told me to stay in the hospital for observation."
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" I deliberately raised my voice, "We can discuss countermeasures together." ”
My mother-in-law looked at me and seemed a little overwhelmed. "I'm afraid you're worried."
"I suspect it's not easy." I made no secret of my concerns, "I need exact answers." ”
The mother-in-law was silent for a while, and finally gritted her teeth and told the truth: "Actually, I wasn't hospitalized, I made up this lie because I lost all my money in the mahjong parlor." ”
Hearing these words, my heart turned upside down. My mother-in-law deceived me like this! I felt angry, disappointed, and helpless, and didn't know how to deal with the situation.
I looked at my mother-in-law angrily, filled with helplessness and disappointment. "Mother-in-law, why are you deceiving me?" I tried to keep my emotions under control, but there was anger in my voice.
The mother-in-law lowered her head and looked a little ashamed, "I'm sorry, daughter-in-law, I didn't expect things to turn out like this." ”
"Why do you say you're hospitalized?" I was a little excited, "Isn't this cheating?" ”
"I'm afraid you won't understand." The mother-in-law tried to defend herself, "I just wanted to borrow some money for a transition." ”
"Why didn't you just tell me?" I felt a little aggrieved, "We can discuss a solution." ”
"I know I was wrong, I'm sorry." The mother-in-law said with some remorse, "Can you forgive me?" ”
I think
I thought about it for a while, and when I saw the remorse and helplessness in my mother-in-law's eyes, my heart began to soften a little. "Mom, I can understand your difficulties, but deception won't solve the problem."
"I know, I won't do it again." The mother-in-law said sincerely.
"Let's solve the problem at hand first." I changed the subject, "How much money do you really need?" I can help you with this urgent issue first. ”
The mother-in-law said a little shyly: "I don't need much, just three thousand yuan." ”
I nodded, and immediately used my mobile phone to remit 3,000 yuan to my mother-in-law. "It's a temporary solution, but we still need to talk about it."
"Well, I'll listen to you." The mother-in-law nodded in agreement.
I turned to Wang Yan and thanked him: "Thank you for your help, Wang Yan." With you, I can calm down. ”
Wang Yan smiled and shook her head: "You're welcome, this is what friends should do." The matter between your mother and son, you must settle it yourself. ”
I looked at Wang Yan gratefully, then turned to my mother-in-law and said, "Mom, let's go, I'll send you home." ”
My mother-in-law nodded and followed me out of the mahjong parlor. The whole time, I was thinking about how to communicate with my husband about this and how to have a serious conversation with my mother-in-law. After all, conflicts in the family can only be resolved if they are faced with honesty.
When I got home, my mother-in-law and I sat down and had a good talk. I told her that deception is not the solution to the problem, and that we should be honest with each other and face difficulties together. The mother-in-law also expressed her willingness to correct her mistakes and would not do it again in the future.
Finally, I also found an opportunity to communicate with my husband about this matter. My husband expressed anger and disappointment at my mother-in-law's behavior, but also understood my situation. We discussed some countermeasures, including giving my mother-in-law some financial support, but also asking her to change her behaviour and stop indulging in gambling.
After this incident, although there have been some twists and turns in the family, I believe that through communication and understanding, we will be able to get out of the predicament and make the family relationship more harmonious and beautiful.
