I myself also think my mother is too much because she intentionally makes my sister-in-law embarrassed in front of everyone.
Only less than a month left until Tet, while everyone is excitedly showing off their year-end summary to prepare for the new year, my family is about to risk a sad Tet.
The reason was because my mother pressured her sister-in-law too much, causing the normal relationship between the two to become tense and making the whole family feel awkward.
She has been my daughter-in-law for 5 years. It is not a long time, but there are many things that have happened that make her feel out of place in my family.
That's what she confided in me, I didn't make it up. Luckily, I'm the sister-in-law but I've never had any conflicts with my sister-in-law. On the contrary, we're quite close and often share everything in life.
After getting married, I understood my sister-in-law's feelings. No matter how good her husband and his family were, she was still not related to me. I also realized that my mother-in-law was more easygoing than my own mother. My mother had an unpredictable and difficult-to-understand personality, so it was no wonder my sister-in-law was always sad.
Although my mother's treatment of her sister-in-law was not cruel, she was used to making things difficult for her.
It's like when my sister-in-law cooks a simple dish, my mother will ask her to add this and subtract that, forcing her to make it according to her taste without caring about the recipe.
Many times I advised my mother not to do that because the atmosphere in the house would become more and more stuffy. However, my mother did not listen, she said that I had to be a bit formidable so that my daughter-in-law would be afraid of me.
I don't know if my sister-in-law was afraid of my mother or not, but after years of suffering, she decided to move out. My brother also wanted a new house, so he supported it. So they took their child and moved into an apartment, buying it in installments with their own money.
At first, my mother was very upset. She said that her daughter-in-law was deliberately "inciting" her son to leave her sight. I sighed and told my mother that she was right to leave. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to stand it either, but she was my biological mother, so I had to accept it.
After living separately for a while, the relationship between my sister-in-law and my mother softened a bit. When my mother missed her grandchildren, she would call and ask them to come over for dinner. My sister-in-law would also occasionally come over to give her something, so my mother was gentler with her than before.
My brother and I were very happy to see the family atmosphere change in a positive direction. It seems that the saying "far away, near, stinks" is quite true. However, the joy is short-lived, after a while of peace, something happens again.
A few days ago, my mother suddenly called her children and grandchildren home for dinner, inviting close relatives over with the excuse of "year-end summary".
Everyone gathered together to eat and drink happily, it had been a long time since we had such a happy time. But while the whole family was singing karaoke, my mother broke the warm atmosphere with something no one expected.
The thing is, my grandfather recently fell seriously ill. My grandmother passed away a long time ago, leaving him alone, so now he has all the property. Seeing his health getting worse, he decided to leave all the house and money to his children and grandchildren. My mother was their only daughter, so of course everything belonged to her.
In total, my grandfather transferred a house and a piece of land to my mother. I don't know about the money, gold, or other documents. My mother said she wanted to divide the real estate between my brother and I to avoid future disputes. My brother and I always got along well, so we both agreed to let my mother divide it herself. Neither of us asked for anything more or less.
However, before announcing the decision to divide the house and land, my mother called my sister-in-law out to give her a piece of paper. Everyone present that day was surprised to learn that it was a "voluntary" renunciation of property.
My mother said she didn't want her daughter-in-law to get involved in her husband's family's "private affairs", to prevent future conflicts over property, so she made her sister-in-law sign that paper for peace of mind.
Both my brother and I spoke up in opposition. Mom's proposal to her sister-in-law was extremely sensitive. She should have held a family meeting instead of embarrassing her sister-in-law in front of relatives like this?!?
I know my sister-in-law is never greedy for anything that belongs to others. Even though my mother did not mention her name in the matter of dividing the property, she never looked at a single piece of land.
In my mind, I thought this was over. My mother's behavior was like degrading her sister-in-law, clearly showing her concern that she would fight over her husband's family's property.
While all these years she has lived a very reasonable life, never offended anyone around her and even sacrificed a lot for my family. I worriedly looked at my sister-in-law's attitude, unexpectedly she picked up the pen and signed decisively without a single unnecessary movement!
After signing, she placed the paper in my mother's hand and calmly announced in front of the whole family that from now on she would no longer send money to her mother-in-law every month. The reason was that she and her husband did not live here and did not have any influence on the living expenses of this house, so she was not responsible for paying anything.
Plus, she has to pay off my brother's mortgage and stock investment losses, and his salary has been cut for a long time, she has to save money to raise her children, so she will "transfer" that debt to my mother.
My brother got his own property, so my sister-in-law no longer had the obligation to pay her husband's debts. It was a give and take, and my mother was speechless and could not say a word to her daughter-in-law.
My sister-in-law also did not hesitate to "show off" that my brother's income was only 7 million/month, while she, who sells goods to make ends meet, earned a "modest" 30 million. Everyone was surprised and whispered, it turned out that my brother had been dressing up so well all this time because his wife had made him look so fancy, because his 7 million was not even enough to pay for his children's school fees!
My mother stubbornly scolded my sister-in-law that if she earned 30 million, it would be a pity to give her 5 million a month, calling her stingy and mean. My sister-in-law just smiled and didn't argue back. When she finished, she got up and drove home alone, leaving my brother sitting there, bewildered.
My mother was very angry but could do nothing. If my sister-in-law stopped giving me money every month, my mother would probably lose a lot of money from the "hui" with the neighbors. After calculating back and forth with her daughter-in-law, my mother probably did not expect that signing the asset renunciation paper would cause her to lose more than she gained. She regretted it very much but now it was too late. Not only did her daughter-in-law turn her back on her and abandon her, but she was also laughed at by her relatives. I don't know what my mother was planning...
