The 3-story house is only 30 square meters but has 5 air conditioners. I don't understand why it's such a waste!
When they heard that I was going to marry a Hanoian , everyone in my hometown was talking excitedly about my lucky fate.
I was also excited to think the same thing, but after only 3 years I was disillusioned and completely exhausted, not feeling happy for a single moment.
Every girl who gets married hopes to meet a good husband's family.
After 3 years of dating, I also trusted my boyfriend's family so I agreed to get married.
But I was too naive to think that love and marriage would be the same. Then when the reality of marriage hit me, I was shocked by the opposite attitude of my husband's family towards me.
Before we got married, my husband's parents never forced me to touch dishes.
Every time they come over, they tell me to just sit and relax, but since the wedding, I have to wear an apron and cook two meals a day!
My mother-in-law and two brothers-in-law are no longer polite to me like before, they often order me to do random things.
Sometimes I'm too busy to do it, or I forget what my mother or siblings told me, they are ready to turn around and blame me as if I'm some senile old maid.
Many things are tiring, but the hardest part is that I have a father-in-law who is both patriarchal and stubborn.
Whatever he wanted, others had to obey him. What he believed was right, no one could change. But his mother-in-law and sister-in-law were not gentle at all.
Whenever they had a disagreement, the three of them would argue loudly. My husband, I, and my youngest brother would just sit there silently watching the storm, because we knew that if we said just one word, all three of them would turn around and yell at us.
Before Tet, my husband and I spent money to renovate my parents' old kitchen. I wanted to give up many times because of my father-in-law's stubbornness.
The whole family argued countless times, even the husband's parents got angry with each other because of the problem of changing the color of the kitchen tiles.
After a month of going through countless storms, the kitchen finally got a new look. Basically, it was only 4 square meters so there was no need to do too much repair, just throw away all the old stuff and rearrange the new stuff to make it more scientific .
Since the kitchen was renovated, cooking and cleaning have become much easier. My mother-in-law has been complaining less because the kitchen is beautiful and bright, making her happier.
A whole month has passed, yesterday while I was having dinner, my father-in-law suddenly came up with a strange idea. The weather is humid and cold like this, I don't understand why my father-in-law wants to install a new air conditioner in the kitchen alone?!?
My husband frowned and asked why they had to install it there, since the stove was so small and unnecessary. There was already a ventilation fan and a wall fan around the stove, and there was also a small window right where the stove was.
It is not too hot when I cook standing in the summer. Installing an air conditioner would be redundant and cumbersome.
I accidentally objected to my father-in-law's idea at first, so he seemed very upset.
He doesn't like his daughter-in-law to get involved in arguments with him. Once I even heard him tell the neighbors that his daughter-in-law is just a freeloader so he never allows her to speak up.
However, this time I had to put the air conditioner aside completely, because I knew that if we beat around the bush for a while, my father-in-law would eventually push the responsibility onto my husband and I to buy it.
Sure enough, my father-in-law said that since we had gone to the trouble of repairing the kitchen, we had to complete it to be luxurious and fully functional. My husband and I are older than our siblings, so we had to spend money to buy it for our parents. The kitchen was cramped, so the whole family had to eat in the living room. I wondered who would benefit from the air conditioning if we installed it?!
My mother-in-law and siblings were on my side on this matter. My mother-in-law was stingy with money and didn't like to buy new things. She said that instead of spending more than ten million on such a wasteful thing, she would rather buy gold.
My husband shook his head and complained that our house was only 3 stories, a little over 30 square meters wide, but we already had 5 air conditioners, installed in every room except the bathroom. Now we added another one in the kitchen, making it 6. When summer comes, the whole family will probably faint when they receive the electricity bill!
To let everyone know, my husband's parents sleep separately, my two younger brothers also each have their own room, plus my husband and I's room, that's enough for 5 air conditioners.
The father-in-law's demand was too unreasonable. If it were another house, they wouldn't have been foolish enough to follow suit, because turning on the air conditioner in a stuffy space, along with all the cooking smells, would be extremely unpleasant.
My father-in-law was very angry because of the objection. He was so angry that he skipped dinner and then today he "punished" his daughter-in-law in a funny way.
He "went on strike" and refused to pick up his grandchild, leaving my child at school waiting for him. The homeroom teacher texted me so I hurriedly asked to go home early. When I called my child out of the classroom, he was already crying his eyes out.
My baby is not even 3 years old yet. He doesn't know anything yet, so why would my grandfather dare to use him to deal with me? When my husband found out, he was very angry. He went home to give his father some advice, but he also got angry and scolded my husband for being an unfilial son who only knew how to defend his wife and not support his father at all.
My husband and I are both stumped by my father's thinking. If this continues, we'll have to think about moving out...
