I am 25 years old, graduated from university 2 years ago and currently have a stable job with a decent monthly salary.
I was born in the countryside, grew up studying in the city and decided to stay because there are many promising jobs suitable for my major.
After graduating, I was also hesitant between going home to find a job or staying, after many days of thinking, I decided to try my hand at a long-term life in the city.
Luckily, I have a job with income, which brings me a feeling of excitement because I get to meet many people every day, expand my relationships and be confident in communication.
I have a boyfriend, we have been in love for over a year now, we met by chance but always feel familiar, sharing many joys and sorrows with each other. We love each other, a passionate and sweet love.
My boyfriend is 3 years older than me, very mature and knowledgeable. Living in the city is very strange, with only a few close friends and colleagues.
So since I have a boyfriend, I no longer feel homesick, I want to go back to find a job near home. My boyfriend loves me very much, he wants me to have a family, so that I will no longer be lost in the bustling city.
We both always want to live together, dreaming of having a happy home with lovely children who have many of the beautiful features of their father and mother...
What worries me is whether his parents will accept me, when I come from the countryside, from a poor family. His family is a businessman, with good economic conditions.
My boyfriend brought me home to meet his family to prepare for the wedding, I was devastated when I realized who my future mother-in-law was-1 I was deeply disappointed since meeting my future mother-in-law. Illustration
Fortunately, my boyfriend has always told my mother about our love story. His mother also supported her son very much, even though she only knew me through her son and through photos, and had never met me.
There were a few times when he wanted to take me home to visit, but I only agreed to let him take me to his house to see him, not to go inside.
When my boyfriend informed me that his mother had agreed to let us get married in the near future, we both hugged each other, as happy as if we had won the lottery.
I did not expect my future to go so smoothly. My boyfriend took me home to introduce me, also to officially ask for permission for us to get married.
I was nervous, preparing carefully. I was confident, but that was also the moment I was deeply disappointed.
As soon as I saw my future mother-in-law, I realized with disappointment that she was the landlady of the boarding house next to where I rented.
I heard people talk about the terrible, inhumane landlady, who would immediately kick out anyone who was not satisfied, and had people throw things out of the boarding house. As for those who are late in paying their rent, people will come and threaten them to force them to pay…
There are many other stories that I not only heard about but also witnessed with my own eyes. I never expected that the terrible woman who was the nightmare of so many people would soon become my mother-in-law.
Although I was disappointed, I tried to act normal and smile so that the introduction would be complete and successful. Although my boyfriend's family supported the marriage, from that day until now, I have been in turmoil, worried about my future.
His parents forced my husband and I to live together after the wedding, not to live separately. I was even more worried, what would happen to me when I lived under the same roof with such a terrible mother-in-law.
I thought a lot and hesitated, wondering whether I should get married or take the initiative to break up when I knew who my future mother-in-law was?
