Going home for Tet, mother-in-law gave her a basket of eggs to take with her. When she opened it, the daughter-in-law burst into tears when she saw the message.

Every year, when I go back to my hometown to celebrate Tet, I give my parents-in-law a few gifts along with 2.3 thousand NDT (equivalent to 6.7 - 10 million VND) to celebrate Tet because my family lives in the city and doesn't have time to go back to the hometown. Because of this, I always feel guilty.

This year, my husband and I have just saved all our money to buy a house, and my husband's business is not going well, so our finances are a bit difficult. So this year we cannot give our parents as much as usual.

My mother-in-law seemed to have guessed what was going on. Before returning to the city, she gave me a basket of eggs. She also advised my husband and I not to overwork ourselves and to eat some of these eggs to nourish our bodies.

We couldn’t give our parents anything, but when we got home, she packed up big and small bags for us to take to the city. Our parents only wanted to give us the best things they had. But in this difficult time, we were asking for help, making our elderly parents work hard. The amount of money my husband and I give our parents every year isn’t much. But deep down, I thought it would be a shame if we couldn’t give them as much as we did every year. On the way home, my husband and I talked about how we needed to work harder to be able to give our parents everything they needed.

When I got home, I put the eggs my mother gave me in the fridge and discovered a truth that moved me to tears.

When I put all the eggs in the refrigerator, I discovered a small bag at the bottom of the basket. When I opened the bag, there was cash inside, about 34,000 yuan (equivalent to 10 - 13.5 million VND). Why did mom forget the money here - I thought to myself. Having said that, I called my mom and saw a piece of paper in the basket. After reading it, I was very moved.

On the paper it was written that this was the money our parents-in-law gave us, the money we gave her, and some of her savings. She knew we were in a difficult time, so she gave us this money to temporarily deal with urgent needs.

I thought about how we could have given her such a large sum of money. We felt extremely guilty, but knew we would be more filial to our parents in the future.
