When I got married, my mother-in-law sealed a big red envelope as the "name-change" gift; after opening it, my parents took me away and said: the wedding is canceled

I never thought that in my lifetime I would be humiliated for no reason like this. Looking at my future mother-in-law who thought so highly of herself, at that moment I felt that even if her family were made of gold and silver, I no longer wanted to marry into it. It was just too damaging to my self-respect! You may not be able to resist asking what exactly happened. I can tell you frankly: when my boyfriend and I were discussing marriage, my mother-in-law sealed a big red envelope as the "name-change" gift. After opening it, the expressions of our whole family changed. My parents directly dragged me away and said the wedding was canceled.

My boyfriend and I were introduced by someone else. At the time I immediately said that my family background was ordinary, but he did not mind at all. He said he did not value these things, mainly looking at whether there was a spark and going by feeling, and he also thought I was innocent, cute, and beautiful, exactly the type he liked very much. So we kept dating. As for my boyfriend's family, they were well-off and very famous in our local area, from a distinguished family. It was precisely because of this that my future mother-in-law thought too highly of herself and always felt my boyfriend could find someone better, while a girl like me from a small, ordinary family had not seen the world and was not presentable in refined company, so she did not like me.

When my boyfriend first took me to visit my future in-laws, my future mother-in-law wanted to oppose it. She directly found an opportunity when her son was not paying attention, pulled me into a corner, and said I was not suitable for her son, told me to give up this hope, leave obediently, and not dream that I could rise to the top in one step and have a sparrow turn into a phoenix. Looking at her sharp, biting face, I felt very afraid. But at the time I also told her frankly that I liked my boyfriend not because he was rich, and that if she wanted to persuade me to give up, she should first persuade her own son. At that time she sneered and said, did I have some treasure on me? Her son was just after novelty, and it would not be long before he let go, so she told me to wait and see.

As a result, I waited until the moment my boyfriend proposed to me, which was a bit ironic. Seeing that her son insisted on marrying me, my future mother-in-law was furious, almost to the point of being hospitalized, but there was nothing she could do about her own son, so she had no choice but to agree. When the two families discussed marriage, my mother-in-law's attitude was very bad. My parents were very angry, but under my bitter pleading they held back. According to local custom, the future mother-in-law had to give a "name-change" gift, after which the daughter-in-law would begin calling her "Mom." She very obligingly gave a red envelope that looked very thick, but after I opened it I found it was all small-denomination banknotes. My parents could not endure it anymore and felt that she was using this to humiliate me as worthless. Given her behavior and mindset, even if I married in later I would not be happy, so they insisted on canceling the wedding.

I really could not endure it any longer, so I could only give up my boyfriend. In this round, his mother won a great victory. When one person is prejudiced against another, it is impossible to get along harmoniously. I think my love should be coming to an end. Do you all agree?
