Wife, please tell me, we've only been married 2 years, where did you get 100,000 in savings?

To maintain a good marriage, the most important thing is that husband and wife can coordinate with each other, like a balance scale bringing it to equilibrium. Sometimes marriage cannot be sustained by love alone; in the face of reality, even the strongest love will be worn away bit by bit. Looking back, my previous marriage was a failure. My ex-wife and I, faced with reality, both only focused on striving outside, and before we knew it the warmth of that home faded, and the balance tipped.

My ex-wife was my classmate in university; in university we both belonged to the rather hardworking and ambitious type. Outstanding people always meet because of some competition. She and I met at an English speech contest, and we were even opponents. Strangely enough, even though we were competitors, it was hard for me to feel hostility toward this girl, and I even hoped she would perform well. Fate is wonderful; afterward we were opponents in several more contests, and each time we would encourage each other to strive for first or second place. The competitions gradually made our relationship familiar, and we became very good friends. Perhaps because we were alike in many ways, we shared the same goals, and throughout the four years of university we accompanied each other. We went to the library together, took walks together, studied for exams together, went to concerts together... Over time, affection grew, and we slowly broke through the layer of friendship, naturally becoming lovers.

After graduation, we stepped into the hall of marriage. After marriage, since both of us were workaholics and both in a rising phase of our careers, neither was willing to shift their focus back to family. The key issue was that there was no one at home to take care of the child, and the two of us could not reach an agreement on this matter. Gradually, the home was filled with silent gunpowder smoke; this home seemed to be just a hotel where my wife and I rested at night. The cold marital relationship froze both our hearts, and in the end, through coordination and discussion, we chose a peaceful divorce.

After the divorce, I was a little resistant to remarrying; I was afraid of once again falling into the predicament of an unbalanced marriage. Heaven favors people; when it closes a door, it also opens a window. It let me meet another woman in my life. Her personality was completely opposite to my ex-wife's; her gentle nature, like spring breeze and fine rain, slowly untied the knot in my heart. After remarrying, my wife quit her job and became a housewife. She is a good wife and loving mother; she keeps the home in perfect order, and she treats my son as if he were her own. Meeting her is my good fortune.

Recently I accidentally discovered something. While helping her answer a call, I casually looked through her phone and saw the bank deposit records, learning that she actually had over 100,000 in savings. I was very puzzled about where her money came from. At the time of marriage, her bride price all went to her parents' family, and I didn't ask for her dowry either; you could say that when we married she had little money, and now she has no job. I know the most important thing between husband and wife is mutual trust, but I was still curious about where her money came from. So I ran to question her, "Wife, please tell me, we've only been married 2 years, where did you get 100,000 in savings?" She looked at me in disbelief and said, "Why did you secretly look at my phone?" Then, wiping her tears, she ran out of the house. Seeing her react so strongly, I didn't dare chase after her to question her, so I secretly looked through the diary in her box instead, and after reading it I was shocked. In order to run our home better, my wife had been hiding from me that she was saving money, wanting to use it as emergency help when I encountered difficulties in business. It was I who was narrow-minded and doubted her; I was wrong.

Thinking carefully, she really is a very frugal and homemaking woman. I also give her 30,000 yuan every month for living expenses. But having been with her so long, I have never seen her buy herself a decent piece of clothing, let alone any luxury goods. Even when she spends money, she spends it on me and my son. Such a good woman is worth cherishing for a lifetime. I want to go coax her back properly. Everyone, do you think what I'm doing is right?
