My parents gave me 200,000 yuan for a graduation trip. My boyfriend wanted to come too, so I agreed. On the day we were supposed to board, he showed up empty-handed with his parents and younger brother. His parents refused to pay a cent, and even made me buy their spare underwear. His brother wouldn't leave the amusement park, so I missed the high-speed train to our next destination. I finally lost my patience and snapped at the little brat. His parents immediately turned on me, hands on their hips as they laid into me.
“How dare you yell at Yaowu? He's your brother-in-law. You have to give him whatever he wants.”
My boyfriend held me back when I tried to fight back, saying his parents had worked hard their whole lives and had finally gotten a chance to travel, so I shouldn't be so inconsiderate.
Fine, if that's what they wanted, I'd give it to them. That night, I booked them two presidential suites at a five-star hotel and took them out for a lavish dinner. While they were busy taking photos, I made my graceful exit.
