In the TV series "Time is Just Time", I understood that my mother-in-law said that "the second son-in-law has no looks, no money, no education, and the eldest son-in-law is a graduate student", and I realized that the second son-in-law bought a house for his mother-in-law, and his status was never as high as that of the eldest son-in-law.
In the play, Xu Mengan and Xu Mengxin are two brothers and sisters, Xu Mengan is married to Li Lin, and Xu Mengxin is married to Jia Haowen. But in the eyes of the mother-in-law, the status of the second son-in-law is not as high as that of the eldest son-in-law, which can be seen from what the mother-in-law said.
The mother-in-law told the neighbors that her house was not that big, and it was the second son-in-law who spent money to buy the house opposite the house, and the two houses were opened up to form this big yard. It can be seen that the mother-in-law's home is very spacious, and there is also a fish pond, like a villa.
Every time the second son-in-law comes back, it is also a gift of large bags and small packages. Xu Mengxin bought clothes for her mother, and she bought many pieces for her mother to try on.
Jia Haowen brought a lot of gifts this time, and saw that there were neighbors in the yard, so he ran to the car again, took out a lot of gifts, and told everyone that everyone has a share.
At this time, the eldest son-in-law Li Lin also came with his daughter Yunjie, and the eldest son-in-law only carried a handbag in his hand, which may not be a valuable gift. The second son-in-law also beckoned his brother-in-law to take the gift, saying that he bought it himself.
For such a sensible second son-in-law, but the mother-in-law doesn't appreciate it at all. When the mother-in-law chatted with the neighbors, she was always proud of her eldest son-in-law, saying that the second son-in-law used to be poor and had nothing, no looks, no money, and no education, but her eldest son-in-law graduated from graduate school.
He also said that the second son-in-law became rich later, and it was not the credit of the second son-in-law, but because his daughter was prosperous. And the father-in-law also has a soft spot for the eldest son-in-law, he told Li Lin that he said that a son-in-law has half a son, but he treats Li Lin as his own son.
Why are the mother-in-law and father-in-law so good to the eldest son-in-law and ignore the second son-in-law? Maybe the real reason is the education of the eldest son-in-law.
It can be speculated from the play that the second son-in-law may be in business and a boss who buys clothes. And the eldest son-in-law is a graduate student and is engaged in technology. In their eyes, working in a large company may be more stable than doing business.
When the mother-in-law and father-in-law knew that the eldest son-in-law was facing difficulties, they did not hesitate to take out their pension money and hand it over to their eldest daughter Xu Meng'an. The father-in-law did not give the money directly to the eldest son-in-law, in order not to embarrass the eldest son-in-law.
Therefore, when I understand my mother-in-law's statement that "the second son-in-law has no looks, no money, no education, and the eldest son-in-law is a graduate student", I understand that even if the second son-in-law buys a house for the mother-in-law, his status will never be as high as that of the eldest son-in-law.
