I’m Nozomi. I married Toma two years ago and am currently six months pregnant. I’ve only met my in-laws a handful of times. They always seem to look down on me, so I never felt much desire to spend time with them. However, since my mother was worried and encouraged me to break the news about my pregnancy, Toma and I went to his parents’ house for a dinner gathering. While we were there, though, a shocking truth came to light: my in-laws are apparently helping cover the cost of my sister-in-law’s wedding. That’s a world apart from how they treated us…!
I was stunned when I heard about the wedding costs from my sister-in-law. If my in-laws had offered to pay half and encouraged us to have a wedding, I would have gladly accepted. But all they gave us back then was a mere 100,000 yen. Isn’t it only fair that they offer us the exact same amount?
On top of that, when I protested by saying we would never come back and they wouldn’t get to see their grandchild, they just scoffed, “Fine by us.” How much more do they plan to look down on me? Overwhelmed with frustration and helplessness, I ended up taking all my feelings out on Toma.
