Seeing what fell out of the bag, I burst into tears.

Knowing the story, my husband did not object but said to let him do what he wanted.

The article is shared by a girl named Thoi (China).

My father-in-law is 85 years old this year but he is healthy. Every day, he still gets up early and works until sunset.

My husband's family has 7 siblings, including four sons and three daughters. My husband is the sixth child in the family. His mother passed away when he was only 3 years old.

The marriage was opposed

After my mother passed away, my father-in-law raised seven children on his own without remarrying. When I first got married, he said to me, “Thank you for marrying my son.” In fact, my husband had problems with his right leg and walked with a slight limp. When I decided to marry him, my parents strongly opposed it.

Because we didn’t have enough money to buy a house for our wedding, we had to rent one. At that time, my mother was angry and said, “If you don’t listen to me, you will definitely regret it later.” However, the years of living together have proven that my choice at that time was not wrong.

I remember when I was pregnant, my father-in-law often sent me nutritious food. However, I was often busy working and did not eat on time. Knowing this, he reminded me: “Work cannot be more important than children. For the good of you and the baby, you should limit your work, you can earn money later.”

Since then, no matter how busy he was, he would always prepare meals for me, so I just had to heat them up at work and eat. My colleagues were jealous because I had such a good father.

When I told them that this man was my father-in-law, everyone was surprised. Perhaps they did not expect that in this world there would be a father-in-law who cared so much about his daughter-in-law.

Up to now, we have two sons. Although life is not luxurious or rich, but in general, the family is happy and peaceful. Over the years, my husband's efforts have received the approval of my parents. Although my husband's income is not very generous, he always tries to build a family.

Dad's old bag made me cry

The most important thing is that after I got married, I received care from my brothers, sisters and father-in-law. My father-in-law is over 80 years old but he still works hard and has never had to ask for help from his children.

One winter morning, my father-in-law knocked on my door. On a snowy day, he had cycled to our house, bringing food because he was worried that his children would not have enough to eat.

He gave me a bag containing some homegrown radishes and cabbages, along with eggs and pre-cooked chicken. Seeing this, I couldn't help but cry. We, his children, had advised him not to go to work anymore. After all, he had worked hard all his life and should stay home and enjoy his old age with his children and grandchildren. However, he did not agree.

Whenever he grows crops or has something new, he shares it with his children. I put all the vegetables and food my father-in-law brings in the refrigerator. Unexpectedly, a black cloth bag fell out of my pocket. When I opened it, I saw a thick stack of red bills inside. I counted a total of 10,000 yuan (about 35 million VND).

A few days ago, you said you had a herd of pigs at home. Is this the money you got from selling the pigs? That evening, after my husband got off work, I told him about this. My husband sighed and said, “This is what Dad wanted, so just accept it.”

It can be said that although my father-in-law is old, he still wants to support us whenever he has extra money. I understand that he is worried because we have two children to raise, and my husband's ability to earn money is also limited. He knows that I do not want to receive money, so he often gives me money in many different ways.

On the weekend, I was afraid that my father would be alone and have no one to take care of him, so I prepared winter clothes and a heater to bring home for him. While my father was preparing things in the kitchen, I secretly stuffed 5,000 yuan (about 17 million VND) into his coat pocket. I decided to give him the money without telling my husband, regardless of whether he was willing to accept it or not, as a daughter-in-law, this was what I should do.
