I went to my boyfriend's house for dinner during the Dragon Boat Festival. His mother sold watermelons against the scorching sun. I left with 100,000 yuan.

Nowadays, people say, "money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible." But in my opinion, although money is a necessity of life, it is nothing compared to what my mother-in-law and boyfriend have done to me. When I saw my mother-in-law's efforts to enable my boyfriend and me to marry smoothly, I was moved. I feel so happy to find such a good mother-in-law.

I grew up in a single-parent family, and my father died when I was very young, and then my mother took care of his business. She not only has to be busy with her career, but also has to raise me. She leads a tense and busy life, and her personality is inevitably a little strong. She likes to take care of all my affairs since childhood. When I grow up, I am more or less unaccustomed. I feel that I have something to decide when I grow up, but as long as I think that it is not easy for her to pull me alone, I usually don't argue with her.

Other things are not a big deal, even if when I was in college, she forced me to give up my favorite fashion design major and study the business administration she wanted me to study. But after I fell in love, she objected because she was very dissatisfied with her boyfriend's family. This time I didn't want to give in. I fought wits with her at home and did everything I could. In the final analysis, I wanted to be with my boyfriend. At first, she used the usual high-handed means to force me to give up the relationship, but later I really insisted and showed a kind of tenacity that I had never had since childhood. She finally had to compromise, but put forward a very simple request to her. That is, the mother-in-law must give 200000 bride price.

At that time, I was very worried that my boyfriend would not be able to take it out. I thought I would help him myself, but I didn't expect him to say yes to my future mother-in-law. I felt very happy after hearing it. During the Dragon Boat Festival, I went to eat at my mother-in-law's house in the country for the first time, but my mother-in-law went out after she had cooked the food and brought it to the table. I waited a long time but didn't see his mother come back to the table. In this case, of course, I would not start eating in advance. He said that his mother was busy and told me not to wait, but when I offered to go out and look for it, my boyfriend said it was too sunny outside. Later, I saw that none of them came back, so I went out to see what had happened because I was curious and a little confused. As a result, I saw that they were busy carrying watermelons and selling them in a van in the sun. Originally, in order to take out the betrothal gift proposed by my mother, my mother-in-law contracted a piece of watermelon field, which is now in harvest season. In order to save money, she worries herself by going out early and coming home late every day.

At that time, I didn't alarm them. I just came back quietly and left with a bank card with 100000 yuan in it. I know that my mother asked for betrothal gifts to ensure that I would not suffer in the future, but what I saw made me believe that I could live a good life even without betrothal money and for the kindness of my mother-in-law. I decided to go back and persuade my mother to give up asking them for the bride price. Did everyone say I did the right thing?
