Working late at night, the son-in-law passed by his mother-in-law's room and saw a scene that immediately made him give up the idea of ​​moving out.

After 10 years of living with his wife's family, this was the first time the man felt so emotional.

“Up to now, I have been a son-in-law for 5 years, my economy has also developed, I have enough money to buy my own house to live in this city but I still try to 'live with my mother-in-law'. Many times I have been struggling, discussing with my wife about moving out but I have not been able to do it,” Mr. Tan (38 years old) started his post “The hardships of being a son-in-law” on Weibo, which is attracting a lot of attention from netizens.

According to Mr. Tan. Initially, when he married his wife, My Hoa - an only child in a well-off family in Shenzhen, China, because the newlyweds did not have much money and his wife's house was close to the company, he decided to live with his wife's family. After 10 years, the couple had two more children and their business was growing. Mr. Tan was promoted to boss, and in addition to his main job, his wife also had a clothing rental shop, with a fairly high monthly income. At this time, he intended to buy an apartment to move out. Partly because he wanted his family of four to have more space, and partly because Mr. Tan, although he did not say it, always felt uncomfortable and embarrassed about being a son-in-law for many years.

“I secretly went to see many houses without my wife knowing, the prices were within reach. I also tried to buy a house near my mother’s house and asked my wife’s opinion, she agreed. However, when everything seemed to be going well, my father-in-law passed away,” Mr. Tan recounted.

At first, when his father passed away, Tan did not discuss moving out, partly because he wanted to take care of his father's funeral and partly because he saw that his mother and wife were also very sad. Then, 5 months passed, the price of the apartment he wanted to buy was also going down, everything was settled, so this time Tan wanted to ask his mother to let his whole family move out. However, an incident happened that made him completely change his mind.

In the eyes of him and his children, his mother-in-law is a very good person.

“Honestly, my mother-in-law treats me and my children very well. Even though I live with my wife’s family, I never feel degraded or looked down upon like what people often share on social media. However, now that I am in a higher position and my children are getting older every day, it is right to move out. I consulted many people and they also advised me to move out.

That day, during dinner, I told my mother about my intention. She hesitated for a long time and then said, "Okay, it's up to you to decide." But seeing her sad face, I felt guilty. The decision to buy a house was delayed because of that. Many nights I tossed and turned, wondering if I should move out.

Until one day, I worked late because of a new project. When I got home, it was already midnight but I saw that the door and lights in my mother-in-law's room were still on. I was afraid that something had happened to her so I went in to see. Looking through the half-open door, my mother was still not asleep but was lying on the bed, hugging the portrait of her deceased father and crying. I could clearly hear her blaming herself, saying she didn't know what she had done wrong that everyone wanted to leave her. She said she felt extremely wronged...", Mr. Tan recalled.

He stood still for a long time after hearing his mother-in-law's confession, then quietly returned to his room but did not dare to tell his wife. The next morning, seeing his mother-in-law still smiling and talking, cooking breakfast for the whole family as usual, Mr. Tan also said goodbye to his mother and went to work, but his heart was heavy, and he had the intention of giving up on moving out.

Hearing him say he would not move out, his mother-in-law was so moved that she burst into tears. Illustration photo.

The following days, even at 1 or 2 am, when he opened his mother-in-law's room, Mr. Tan still found her sitting there crying uncontrollably. During the day, she had even salted and wrapped many kinds of food, and had written down the dishes that the children liked in a notebook and given it to Mr. Tan and his wife so that they could use them when they moved to their new house. Touched by his mother-in-law's affection, Mr. Tan told his wife what he had seen and did not move out to live separately.

“But I was still afraid that my mother would feel embarrassed, so I just told her that because I was too busy with work to take care of the children in the coming time, and that I still needed more money to invest in business, I still wanted to stay at her house a little longer, and not leave,” Mr. Tan recalled.

He said that at that time, she burst into tears and thanked her son-in-law profusely. Up to now, Mr. Tan's family has no intention of moving out. The family of five lives happily and in harmony.
