My boyfriend’s house opened a popular rice restaurant, selling very expensively. But I’ve been in love for a year, I’m still hesitant, I don’t want to introduce my boyfriend’s family. Because I think when we both decide to get married, we need to introduce our families to avoid chaos.
To be honest, my parents are not very satisfied with the family of Tan, my boyfriend. Because my father always wanted me to find a husband for the subject. My family is well off. Although my boyfriend is talented, he has no business ability, he can only work as a government employee with a mid-range salary. My parents were afraid that if I married a husband who could not get rich, I would suffer for the rest of my life.
My boyfriend didn’t know about this, just thought it was because I didn’t want to get married. He often begged me to go to his house to play but I didn’t go.
Last Sunday, I purposely stopped by my boyfriend’s family restaurant as an ordinary guest, because everyone in his family didn’t know my face. The restaurant is small, but clean and tidy. I sat for a while and saw Tan’s mother cleaning the floor a few times, so the floor was always clean.
After eating, I went to pay the bill, and was about to leave when my aunt asked me to carry a plate of rice for the beggar outside. Looking at the rice plate full of meat and vegetables, I was surprised. I carried the rice plate in front, she took the soup bowl and 200,000 followed. She graciously invited the beggar to sit down at the table comfortably without fearing his somewhat dirty appearance. Seeing that person was embarrassed, she also encouraged him to eat a delicious meal and give him 200,000.
Tan’s mother’s respect for beggars amazed me. Then I found out that the auntie often gives charity meals on the 1st of every month and whoever is poor, she gives extra food for free.
Back home, I told my parents everything and talked about getting married. My parents nodded in agreement because an honest family will surely have blessings in the future. Moreover, such a kind future mother-in-law will know how to cherish and love her daughter-in-law.
I called Tan, told him to arrange a time to bring me home to meet his family, discuss about the wedding. Overjoyed, he agreed immediately. I don’t know when I appeared in front of Tan’s mother, whether she thought anything bad about me, because I met his mother at the restaurant but pretended not to know.
