I was going to buy a car and give it to him.And yet,I was being accused of treating him like a beggar?
Fortunately,I wouldn't be living with my mother-in-law's family in the future,or else life would really be unbearable.
"Aunt,I've looked into this car.Its configuration and other aspects are not bad.Otherwise,you can go out on the street and see.There are quite a lot of people driving this car."
"Moreover,didn't Tom's girlfriend's family just ask for a commuting car?The Toyota Corolla is definitely sufficient for commuting."
I was still trying to explain the situation.
But Tom immediately lost his temper.
"Mom,don't listen to his nonsense.How good can a car that costs just over a hundred thousand be?He just doesn't want to spend money on me."
My father-in-law,who had been silent until now,also spoke up at this moment.
"Jack,you and Emily are about to get married soon.After you're married,Tom will be your brother-in-law,and you'll be family."
"Why be so stingy among family members?Besides,you have the ability and you're not short of money.What's wrong with giving Tom a little help?"
I had been holding back for Emily's sake before,but now I really couldn't take it anymore.
Just because I make a lot of money doesn't mean my money grows on trees.And wasn't I helping them enough already?
I was going to buy a car worth over a hundred thousand for Tom even before I married Emily.Did that mean I had to buy a car worth hundreds of thousands to be considered part of the family?
"Uncle,it's not that I don't want to help,but there has to be a limit,right?"
"Tom has hands and feet.If he wants something,he should strive for it himself.Otherwise,does that mean I have to buy him a house if he wants one in the future?"
I made up my mind.Anyway,the car I would buy would be at the level of a Toyota Corolla.If it really didn't work,I would give him the money in cash,and they could decide how expensive a car to buy.
I was marrying Emily,not her and her brother.
But I don't know if my father-in-law had drunk too much or what,but he also slapped the table and stood up.
"What's wrong with you helping Tom out since you make a lot of money?Money is something that you can't bring with you when you're born and can't take with you when you die.It's just a bunch of paper if you take it to the grave."
"This matter is settled.Buy the car that Tom wants,so that you,Emily,and Tom can all live a good life."
"Otherwise,about your marriage with Emily..."
My father-in-law didn't finish his sentence,but I understood what he meant without him saying it.
I never expected him to say such things.
Was I supposed to buy Tom a car worth hundreds of thousands or even millions?If I didn't,I couldn't get married?
I looked at my girlfriend.
"Emily,is this what you want too?"
"Jack,please help Tom.This is the last time,okay?"
My girlfriend continued to plead,but I already knew her answer.
Perhaps it was because of my constant concessions before that made her family think that it was only natural for me to buy them anything.
"Let's talk about this later.I'm going home."
In the end,I didn't eat that sea cucumber.
And the Mercedes-Benz S-Class of the company was driven back by the sales manager.
