«Thanks to your parents for buying us this apartment! But we’ll give it to my sister, and save up for a new one!» declared the husband during the housewarming…
His sister had health problems, she’s treating her back and going to massage. The treatment promised to be long. And Emily understood that repairs would have to wait.
With her salary alone, she couldn’t handle it. And they had the mortgage too. She paid that herself too.
The young woman resigned herself to the thought that they’d live in a rundown apartment. But then her parents offered help again. When Emily reproached her husband that it was awkward, that her parents were giving money for everything, Alex said no one asked them.
Like, we’d figure it out ourselves. As if we’d die without repairs. He rolled his eyes.
The previous owners lived like that for years and nothing. If you think about it, he’s right. Some people really live in such conditions, and some even worse.
And they’d have lived. But since the parents offer, no need to refuse. They do it from the heart.
A couple of months later, the repairs were finished. And Alex even apologized to his wife. Said it was a good idea.
And thanks to her parents. And the mother-in-law, who was a bit offended that no one asked her opinion on buying the apartment or how to do the repairs, said that now the new place needed to be celebrated. «For a happy life, you need a housewarming!» declared Regina Johnson.
They invited almost the same group as at the wedding for the housewarming. But Aunt Linda with her family, citing some other celebration, refused. The mother-in-law said the aunt was just stingy with money.
Her grandkids go to some expensive classes. Wants to raise champions out of them. But it’s for the better.
Only the closest would sit. The sister-in-law, to Emily’s surprise, came without the kids. She had some happiness happen.
Some friend took them to a kids’ party. Katie could at least rest without them. The daughter-in-law didn’t attach importance to this strange coincidence…
