I am a mother hen, always wanting the best for my children, so I stay at home to be a housewife and take care of them. My husband is always diligent in his work, but his salary is too small compared to what our family needs. His salary of 8 million, plus 4 million from my part-time job at home, is just enough to pay for the rent, tuition for the older child, powdered milk for the younger child, and to eat frugally every day.
Every morning, he left home before dawn and returned late at night. He always gave me all the money he earned, accompanied by a tired but sweet smile. He was like that, not sparing anything from his wife and children. There were many days when he skipped breakfast to save money to buy me gifts. However, money was always a constant worry for me. Raising two children in a difficult economic situation made me constantly nag, even though I knew it hurt his self-esteem.
One day, I couldn't control myself and said some bitter words: "You work all day and only bring home this much? Why don't you try to earn more, do more? Our children need a lot of things!"
He just looked at me, his eyes filled with sadness, and quietly replied: "You know I tried my best. I'm useless and can only earn this much."

His voice was calm but painful, making me feel sad. I knew he was trying, but the boredom and anxiety that surrounded him made me unable to see. The arguments not only made the atmosphere in the house stuffy, but also made our two children fearful and timid.
Then one day, after a fierce argument, I saw him sitting absent-mindedly on the porch, his eyes no longer his. My heart ached when I realized that his fatigue and sadness had reached their limit. "I'm sorry," I whispered, rushing to hug him. "Let's find another way together, we don't need a lot of money, just being together is enough."
Since then, I have learned to save and manage my expenses better. I also started freelancing to earn more income, and most importantly, I have learned to cherish every moment with my family, not letting material worries overshadow our love and care for each other. And I have realized that happiness is not necessarily having a lot of money, but knowing how to cherish and overcome difficulties together.
