"I'm the outsider, so that's why you have to talk behind my back? Let's say it here now!" My sister-in-law, who saw my mom trying to pull me away, pointed at my mom and stubbornly spoke.
Are they arguing? I heard that pregnant women's emotions are easily unstable, but my mom still didn't know how to give in to my sister-in-law at all.
I also found a chair and sat down, "Yes, Mom, what's the matter? Let's solve it together. What happened?"
My mom grabbed my sleeve and didn't let go. After a while, she stuttered and said, as if she had made a big decision, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant. She thinks our house is too small, and it will be too crowded when she has her pregnancy caring period..."
I understood that she wanted my parents to pay for her to buy a house!
"When you got married, besides the dowry, didn't my parents also give you the down payment for the house? But what do you mean now? Is the payment not enough?" I asked my sister-in-law in confusion.
When they got married, my parents felt that they owed my sister-in-law the matter of demolition and relocation. So, besides the dowry, they also gave an additional 500,000 dollars as the down payment for them to buy a house, which was all my parents' savings.
Later, my sister-in-law said that if they moved out, no one would take care of my parents, and they would be lonely. So they didn't buy a house and continued to live with my parents, but my parents didn't get the money back either.
In the past two years, housing prices have dropped a bit. But even if they had spent some money, it would still have been enough to make a down payment. Besides, they ate and lived at my parents' house, and there were few expenses.
"After buying the house and renovating it, the child will be born already them. However, there's so much formaldehyde in the new house, and it'll kill my baby and me!" My sister-in-law spoke to me without any politeness, and I didn't feel comfortable hearing it too.
"Yvonne Wilson, that's enough. This is the real condition of our family. Whether you want to have the baby is up to you!" My brother turned around and raised his voice, which was rare since he usually obeyed his wife completely.
Seeing that they were about to argue, I quickly comforted my sister-in-law. After all, getting pregnant was still a big deal, and as the baby's aunt, it was not a big deal to contribute some money for the joy.
