There are two husbands and sisters. His sister is two years younger than him and married two years earlier than us. When we got the license, his sister's first child was over one year old. His sister married in the village next door, but she didn't live in her husband's house for a long time after marriage, which was equivalent to living in her mother's house all the time, including having a second child later. Up to now, both children have grown up in our family, and the mother-in-law has been helping to take care of them. Among them, only two children were taken care of at home. Now the eldest daughter is 9 years old and the youngest son is 5 years old. During this period, she and her husband Laokouzi have been working in a Taiwan-funded factory in the south. They also live in our house when they go home during the Spring Festival. They never go back to their own homes, and they usually don't have any living expenses.
When my husband and I met, we had nothing. Even if we got the certificate, we got married and didn't have a wedding at my husband's house. Because there was no money at that time, we were also prepared to start our own business, thinking that as long as two people were happy, it would be better than anything else in the future. After marriage, my husband runs a small trading company. When our children are born, I always take care of them myself. My mother's home is not far from where we started our business. Occasionally, I will go to my mother's house and take care of her for a few days. My mother-in-law has never taken care of us, including confinement. When my child was 2 years old, I went to the company to help my husband manage the business together and take my child to work together. When the child was two and a half years old, we planned to open our own factory and produce and sell it ourselves, so we sent the child to kindergarten at this time. I won't talk about the hardships of being a factory and the hardships of starting a business. In short, all the start-up funds were saved in the early stage and borrowed from relatives at home. It was about two years before the factory stabilized. In the past two years, my husband and I have suffered everything, but we have never mentioned it in front of his family. In the most difficult time, I didn't borrow a dime from them. But these relatives in my husband's family think we are rich. I remember one year when I came home during the Spring Festival, my sister-in-law told me, Do you know, because our homestead has good geomantic omen, you gave birth to a son, made a fortune in business and became a big boss? I am sorry to hear these words. My husband and I tried to settle down because of the good feng shui in our hometown. And at this time, our family of three is still renting a house of more than 50 square meters, and we are still unable to buy a house outside. I smiled and said nothing. Because I don't know how to answer her. When the child is three and a half years old, we are going to make a down payment to buy a house. After all, children need a stable environment when they grow up and go to primary school. On National Day this year, we gritted our teeth, paid 200,000 yuan down and bought a 3-bedroom rough house. After half a year, we closed the house, because there was no money to decorate it, and the house remained empty. In fact, it is not that there is no money, but that people who do business need safe liquidity. We have always been honest and trustworthy in doing business, and we will never put pressure on suppliers to buy materials and then take money out to enjoy a higher quality of life.
