Going home for Tet, mother-in-law gave her a basket of eggs to take with her. When she opened it, the daughter-in-law burst into tears when she saw the message.

Every year, every time I go back to my husband's hometown to celebrate Tet, I give my parents-in-law a few gifts along with 2.3 thousand NDT (equivalent to 6.7 - 10 million VND) to celebrate Tet because my family lives in the city and doesn't have time to go back to the countryside. Because of this, I always feel guilty.

This year, my husband and I have just spent all our money to buy a house, and my husband's business is not going well, so the economy is a bit difficult. So this year we cannot give our parents as much as usual.

My mother-in-law seemed to have guessed what was going on. Before returning to the city, she gave me a basket of eggs. She also advised my husband and I not to overwork ourselves and to eat some more of these eggs to nourish our bodies.

We couldn’t give our parents anything, but when we got home, she packed big and small bags for us to take to the city. Our parents only wanted to give us the best things they had. But in this difficult time, we were asking for help, making our old parents work hard. The amount of money my husband and I give our parents every year is not much. But deep down, I thought that this year, if we couldn’t give them like every year, it would be very embarrassing. On the way home, my husband and I talked to each other, we needed to work harder to be able to give our parents enough.

When I got home, I put the eggs my mother gave me in the refrigerator and discovered a truth that moved me to tears.

When I put all the eggs in the refrigerator, I found a small bag at the bottom of the basket. When I opened the bag, there was cash inside, about 34,000 yuan (equivalent to 10 - 13.5 million VND). Why did mom forget the money here? I thought to myself. Having said that, I called my mom and saw a piece of paper in the basket. After reading it, I was very moved.

On the paper it was written that this was the money our in-laws gave us, the money we gave her, and some of her savings. She knew we were in a difficult time, so she gave us this money to temporarily deal with urgent needs.

I thought, what could we do to earn her that much money? We felt extremely guilty, but knew that we would be more filial to our parents in the future.
