My father-in-law's pension is 25 million/month but he can't even buy a new suit. When he found out who was holding his money, my mother-in-law fainted.

My mother-in-law fainted upon hearing that. I was confused and helped her sit down on a chair.

My husband's parents are both retired and have their own pensions. My father-in-law gets about 25 million/month. He used to be the director of a subsidiary in a large corporation, so his pension is high, he can spend comfortably on living expenses, and he has health insurance, so health check-ups and medicine don't cost much.

My mother-in-law is a retired worker. I don't know how much her pension is, but she is a simple and frugal person, so she probably doesn't spend all her salary.

It can be said that my husband's parents do not depend on their children and can take care of themselves.

I am the second daughter-in-law but I live with my husband's parents. Because my husband's brother went to his wife's hometown to start a business, he settled there and conveniently took care of his wife's parents because their in-laws only had one daughter, my sister-in-law.

During the 3 years of living with my in-laws, I realized that my mother-in-law was not allowed to have my father-in-law's salary. I noticed that they hardly talked about finances in front of us, but sometimes she would hint: "I don't have any of your money, how would I know?" or "Take your money out to pay for the taxi, I don't have any to give you."

I asked my husband and he said that before, Mom asked Dad to give her his salary but he didn't. She reminded him several times but he didn't do it so she was offended and didn't ask anymore. When there was work in the house, she would calculate how much it would cost and tell him to contribute.

My husband said that his parents have maintained this habit for decades. At first, my husband wanted to do the same, but I did not agree. I wanted to put all the money in one place and save it together to take care of the children's future. After a while, I alternated between sweet-talking and arguing, then became angry and tense, and my husband agreed to let his wife manage his salary, keeping only 3 million for pocket money each month. Thanks to that, the family also had a few savings books.

Last Sunday was the wedding of my mother-in-law's niece - her brother's daughter. Everyone in the family was looking forward to this event because it was like a family reunion, it had been a long time since someone in the family had gotten married. My mother-in-law and I also went shopping for clothes. She did not spare any money, spending 6 million to buy 2 ao dai to wear to the wedding and to help my brother receive guests. I also bought my husband a new outfit.

When asked about my father-in-law, he insisted on wearing the old suit again. My father-in-law used to have many nice suits, but over time, they were now old, and my mother-in-law told him to buy a new one. After walking around the men's suit shop and seeing that each suit cost 7-8 million, my father-in-law refused. My mother-in-law still insisted on him buying it because "You don't lack money, so why are you being stingy with yourself now?", she asked, "You haven't spent anything in the past few years that you can't spend a few million to buy clothes now?".

The first time I saw my mother-in-law raise her voice at my father-in-law, he must have found her too "hard" so he had to confess the truth. He said: "Thinh has taken all my pension for the past 7 years, he hasn't paid me a single penny yet."

My mother-in-law fainted upon hearing that. I was confused and helped her sit down on the chair. Thinh is my husband's cousin, the son of the eldest uncle, and calls my father-in-law his uncle. I don't know how he sweet-talked him, but my father-in-law lent him all of his monthly salary for the past few years. It's almost 2 billion now.

Mr. Thinh has no stable job, always boasting about being a pioneer in investing in this or that, or teaching others how to get rich... all kinds of gimmicks. Yet my father-in-law - a man with knowledge and social experience, gave all his money to him. When the whole family asked, he refused to say anything, just said: What you do, we don't need to manage.

Now both my mother-in-law and my husband don't know what to say to make my father-in-law take the initiative to get the money back from Mr. Thinh, and it's not certain that he will get it back. There's really no way!
