The 3-storey house is only 30 square meters but has 5 air conditioners. I don't understand why it's such a waste!
When they heard that I was going to marry a Hanoian, everyone in my hometown talked excitedly about my good fortune.
I was also excited to think exactly the same, but after only 3 years I was disillusioned and completely exhausted, not feeling happy for a single moment.
Every girl who gets married hopes to meet a good husband's family.
After 3 years of getting to know each other, I also trusted my boyfriend's family so I agreed to get married.
But I was too naive to think that love and marriage would be the same. Then when the reality of marriage hit me, I was shocked by the opposite attitude of my husband's family towards me.
Before we got married, my in-laws never forced me to touch dishes.
Every time they come over, they tell me to just sit and relax, but since the wedding, I have to wear an apron and cook for two meals a day!
My mother-in-law and two brothers-in-law are no longer polite to me like before, they often order me to do random things.
Sometimes when I'm too busy to do anything, or I forget what my mother or siblings told me, they're ready to turn around and blame me as if I'm some senile old maid.
There are many tiring things, but the hardest part is that I have a father-in-law who is both patriarchal and stubborn.
Whatever he wanted, others had to obey him. Whatever he believed was right, no one could change. And his mother-in-law and sister-in-law were not gentle at all.
Whenever there was a conflict of opinion, the three of them argued loudly. My husband, I, and my youngest brother sat silently watching the storm, because we knew that if we said just one word, all three of them would turn around and yell at us.
Before Tet, my husband and I spent money to renovate the old kitchen for my parents. I wanted to give up many times because of my father-in-law's stubbornness.
The whole family argued countless times, even the husband's parents got angry with each other because of the problem of changing the color of the kitchen tiles.
After a month of going through countless storms, the kitchen finally got a new look. Basically, it was only 4 square meters so there was no need to do too much repair, just throw away all the old stuff and rearrange the new stuff to make it more scientific.
Since the kitchen was renovated, cooking and cleaning have become much easier. My mother-in-law complains less because the beautiful and bright kitchen makes her happier.
A whole month has passed, but yesterday while I was having dinner, my father-in-law suddenly came up with a strange idea. It's a cold and rainy day like this, why does my father-in-law want to install a new air conditioner in the kitchen?!?
My husband frowned and asked why it had to be installed there, because the stove was small and unnecessary. There were already exhaust fans and wall fans around the stove, and there was also a small window right where the stove was located.
In the summer, I don't feel too hot when I cook. If I install an air conditioner, it will be too much and cumbersome.
I accidentally objected to my father-in-law's idea at first, so he seemed very upset.
He doesn't like his daughter-in-law to get involved in arguments with him. Once I heard him tell the neighbors that his daughter-in-law was just a tenant so he never allowed her to speak up.
However, this time I had to put the air conditioner aside completely, because I knew that after beating around the bush, my father-in-law would eventually push the responsibility onto my husband and I to buy it.
Sure enough, my father-in-law said that since we had gone to the trouble of fixing the kitchen, we had to complete it to be luxurious and fully functional. My husband and I are older than our siblings, so we had to spend money to buy it for our parents. The kitchen was cramped, so the whole family even had to sit and eat in the living room. I wondered who would benefit from the air conditioning if we installed it?!?
On this matter, my mother-in-law and siblings are on my side. My mother-in-law is stingy with money and doesn't like to buy new things. She said that instead of spending more than ten million on such a wasteful thing, she would rather take it and buy gold.
My husband shook his head and complained that the house was only 3 floors, a little over 30 square meters wide, but already had 5 air conditioners, installed in every room except the bathroom. Now that we've installed another one in the kitchen, it's 6. When summer comes, the whole family will probably faint when they receive the electricity bill!
To let everyone know, my husband's parents sleep separately, my two younger brothers also each have their own room, plus my husband and I's room, that's enough for 5 air conditioners.
The father-in-law's demand was too unreasonable. If it were another house, they wouldn't have been foolish enough to follow suit, because turning on the air conditioner in a stuffy space, along with all the cooking smells, would be extremely unpleasant.
My father-in-law was very angry because of the objection. He was so angry that he skipped dinner and didn't even eat. Then today he "punished" his daughter-in-law in a funny way.
He was on strike and didn't pick up his grandchild anymore, leaving my child waiting at school for him. The head teacher texted me so I hurriedly asked to go home early. When I called my child out of class, he was already crying his face off.
My child is not even 3 years old yet. He doesn't know anything yet, so why would my grandfather use him to deal with me? When my husband found out, he was very angry. He went home to give his father some advice, but he also got angry and scolded my husband for being an unfilial son who only knew how to defend his wife and not support his father at all.
My husband and I are both stumped by my father's thinking. At this rate, we'll have to think about moving out...
