Knowing the story, my husband did not object but said to let him do what he wanted.
The article is shared by a girl named Thoi (China).
My father-in-law is 85 years old this year but is in good health. Every day, he still gets up early and works until sunset.
My husband's family has 7 siblings, including four sons and three daughters. My husband is the sixth child in the family. His mother passed away when he was only 3 years old.
The marriage was opposed
After my mother passed away, my father-in-law raised seven children by himself without remarrying. When I first got married, he said to me, “Thank you for marrying my son.” In fact, my husband had problems with his right leg and walked with a slight limp. When I decided to marry him, my parents strongly opposed it.
Because we didn’t have enough money to buy a house for our wedding, we had to rent one. At that time, my mother was angry and said, “If you don’t listen to me, you will definitely regret it later.” However, the years of living together have proven that my choice at that time was not wrong.
I remember when I was pregnant, my father-in-law often sent me nutritious food. However, I was often so busy working that I didn’t eat on time. Knowing this, he reminded me: “Work cannot be more important than your children. For the good of you and the baby, you should limit your work, you can earn money later.”

Since then, no matter how busy he is, he always prepares pre-cooked meals, and I just need to heat them up at work and eat. My colleagues are all jealous because I have a good father.
When I told them that this man was my father-in-law, everyone was surprised. Perhaps they did not expect that in this world there would be a father-in-law who cared so much about his daughter-in-law.
Up to now, we have two sons. Although life is not luxurious or rich, in general, the family is happy and peaceful. Over the years, my husband's efforts have received the approval of my parents. Although my husband's income is not very generous, he always tries to build a family.
Dad's old bag made me cry
The most important thing is that after I got married, I received care from my brothers, sisters and father-in-law. My father-in-law is over 80 years old but he still works hard and has never had to rely on his children.
One winter morning, my father-in-law knocked on my door. On a snowy day, he had cycled to our house, bringing food because he was worried that our children and grandchildren would not have enough to eat.
He gave me a bag containing some homegrown radishes and cabbages, along with eggs and pre-cooked chicken. Seeing this, I couldn't help but cry. We, his children, had advised him not to work anymore, since he had worked hard all his life and should stay home and enjoy his old age with his children and grandchildren. However, he did not agree.

Whenever he grows crops or has something new, he shares it with his children. I put all the vegetables and food my father-in-law brought in the refrigerator. Unexpectedly, a black cloth bag fell out of my pocket. When I opened it, I saw a thick stack of red bills inside. I counted a total of 10,000 yuan (about 35 million VND).
A few days ago, you said that you had a herd of pigs at home. Is this the money you got from selling the pigs? That evening, after my husband got off work, I told him about this. My husband sighed and said, “This is what Dad wanted, so just accept it.”
It can be said that although my father-in-law is old, he still wants to support us whenever he has extra money. I understand that he is worried because we have two children to raise, and my husband's ability to earn money is also limited. He knows that I do not want to receive money, so he often gives me money in many different ways.
On the weekend, I was afraid that my father would be alone and have no one to take care of him, so I prepared winter clothes and a heater to bring home for him. While my father was preparing things in the kitchen, I secretly stuffed 5,000 yuan (about 17 million VND) into his coat pocket. I decided to give him the money without telling my husband, regardless of whether he was willing to accept it or not, as a daughter-in-law, this was what I should do.
