The house was quickly listed with a real estate agency,and I took my father-in-law to see a larger house that I liked.
He was a vain person,and the agent lavished praise on the property.
This house wasn't in the city center,but it wasn't too far from it either.So,with the money from our old house in the city,we could definitely sell for a larger house.
"Sir,this house has a Chinese garden style,which is very suitable for an elegant elder like you.Living here will elevate your status.It's so luxurious,"the agent said.
"Yes,Dad.Everyone knows this place is nice.When relatives and friends see that you live here,you'll gain a lot of respect,"I said.
He was tempted.I knew that I still needed to give him one more push to make him make up his mind completely.
In the evening,my mother-in-law came back.
This time,she came back looking gorgeous,as if she had changed into a different person.
She was wearing new clothes.Just by looking at the fabric,I could tell they weren't cheap.The colors were much brighter than her previous clothes.Even she was wearing a gold ring on her hand and gold earrings in her ears.
"Mom,what's all this?"I asked.
"It's great to earn my own money and use it as I like.I don't have to care about anyone's mood,"she said.
I knew exactly who she went to work for.
The employer's son and daughter were both abroad and had no time to take care of their elderly father.So,each of them gave ten thousand dollars a month.After paying my mother-in-law's nanny fee,the remaining money was all in their father's hands.Before,when my mother-in-law went to dance square dance,I had seen that old man always staring at her.
"Why are you back?Can't you make it out there and now you know to come back?"my father-in-law said.
Hearing what he said,I really thought he was so confident.It was obvious that my mother-in-law came back to show off.
"Come back?Why would I come back?I'm back to divorce you.I've already asked a lawyer to draw up the divorce agreement.You just need to sign it,"she said.
"Divorce?"My father-in-law probably didn't expect that he could get divorced at his age,and it was his wife who brought it up!
"You've gone too far!"he shouted.
My mother-in-law shook her gold jewelry."It's my fault.I didn't leave you earlier and see the outside world."
After she left,my father-in-law was so angry that he became dizzy and fell onto the sofa.He mumbled,"Let's sell the house,sellthe house,and make this old bitch regret it!"
"Okay,Dad.Don't be angry.I know,"I said.
Early the next morning,I saw that he was still lying in bed.I brought the porridge I cooked in the morning into his room and asked him to drink it while it was warm.
Then I took his blood pressure and temperature again and told him with a worried look,"Dad,you can't be angry anymore.Your blood pressure is high again.I feel like you have a fever too.Having a fever is not a good thing."
