She hid all the money under her old bed, not knowing what her relatives were capable of.
“I have been dreaming of a home since I got married. And only now, when I turned 55, I finally decided! – rejoices our reader Lyuda. But in the way of a brave woman there was one big problem. The money she was saving to buy a home began to melt. Who is responsible for the crime and whether a woman can solve it, read further in the article.
I got married early enough when it was stupid to think about my house. She lived with her husband for 15 years. We have two beautiful sons. I wanted a better life for them, so I decided that when they grew up, I would go to work in Italy.
I didn’t have to think long about the country. In Italy, I have an aunt, she hired me and then got me a job. When I told my husband about my plans, he only twisted his finger at his temple. He would never do that himself. I decided to take a chance.
I saved all the money I earned. I was always saving money, thinking about the future. She only sent small programs home. I know it was hard for me. But my husband was earning well, so the family was not poor.
The sons grew up and married. And I was finally able to use my savings to buy each of them an apartment. I felt like I had been working all these years. By then, my mother-in-law had passed away. And recently my husband passed away. The coronavirus doesn't spare anyone.
I felt so sad because we had barely seen each other all this time. But the sons say he's been seeing a lady a lot lately. I do not blame Vova, so many years without a woman to live. May the earth rest on him!
I went home and immediately sold the apartment I had lived in for so many years with my husband and mother-in-law. Bad memories connect me to her. I didn’t love my husband’s mother very much. She was a demanding woman, constantly giving unsolicited advice, criticizing me.
I’ve been dreaming of a home since I got married. And it was only now, when I turned 55, that I finally decided! She talked about everything to her sons. But the daughters-in-law were not happy with this news. I started to wonder why I needed a whole house.
I was so hurt. I've been ploughing like a scrap horse for so many years, and almost everything has gone into the housing they live in. Now I've decided to live for myself. And I can't even do that? It's just not fair.
In general, I did not listen to my own. I took all the money I had and hid it in my mother's old bed in the village. For now, I'm living with her temporarily. I only told one youngster a secret. What if what happens before the time?
I wish I hadn't. Last week I decided to have a family night. She called the whole family to the village. My sons came with their wives, and I cooked a dinner party. My mother is old, but she also helped in the kitchen.
And everything was just fine, if not for one thing. I'm already looking for options for a country house. I don't need much, I want a small plot. I met with a realtor, agreed to look at a couple of options. Of course, you have to pay for that too. Nowadays, free cheese is only in a mousetrap.
So I went under the bed to get some money. I see it doesn't feel like something's missing. I start counting and realize that the amount is wrong. Shock! Only my youngest son knew that I hid the money there. I didn't even tell my mom about it. She wouldn't remember!
Now I don't know what to do. Did the son tell his daughter-in-law, and she decided to quietly pocket a little money? I don’t know how to talk to my son about it. Unbelievable! I'm so confused, at least sit down and cry. What about it?
Life Wisdom: What does this story teach us? Having relatives does not mean that each of them can be trusted one hundred percent. Moreover, it is clear that Lyudmila has almost no connection with her daughters-in-law, because she has lived abroad for many years. I don't know how she's going to solve this problem, but I need to talk to my son and his wife as soon as possible. What do you say?
