Not all mother-in-laws are venomous harridans with acerbic tongues as one local Bangkok daughter-in-law discovered when receiving a gift envelope full of cash in an unexpected turn of events.

 

The local Bangkok woman was blown away to find a concealed cash gift in her groceries – a heart-warming gesture from her in-laws. The incident, which unfolded a couple of days ago, was reported by website, phunuphapluat.

 

Known for her bubbly personality, the local Bangkok woman hails from an upper-middle-class family in Bangkok. Despite being the only child, she married into a modest family from a rural province. Yet, the disparity in their backgrounds has never caused any disharmony, instead, the couple has celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary, raising their daughter with mutual understanding and respect, fulfilling each other.

 

As per the custom during past summers, the couple along with their daughter embarked on a week-long visit to their rural domicile to see the grandparents. After enjoying the serenity of a rural lifestyle, it was time for them to return to their bustling city life. In their usual routine, the woman’s in-laws waved them off with warm wishes and advice, coupled with a parting gift of homegrown vegetables – a customary ritual.

I disagree.

I enjoy reading 'feel-good' stories now and again. They are rare in news items all over the world.

Maybe read the whole article. It shows human love at all levels. Money for the grandchild's education from poor people with very limited resources.

We need more of this in this woke, entitled world.

It's news to some people, maybe not your cup of tea.
