Wang Haiyan's mother-in-law has some old-fashioned ideas and always tries to act superior to her. Whenever she's unhappy, she complains to her son and tries to get him to give her a hard time.
She won't tolerate this kind of bad behavior. Dare to give me a hard time? I'll teach you a lesson with my fists! I guarantee I'll beat your son so badly he'll feel the pain but not the injury. Your mother and sister are making trouble for me, so I'll take it out on your son (your brother)!
You can get a divorce anytime you want, just sign the child custody agreement! The child will stay with the mother.
The child support will be calculated down to how much you spend on food, clothing, housing, and transportation every year, even down to the recipes. Every year, you'll have to find the difference between the actual prices and the cost of living! After the child turns eighteen, you'll also have to take care of her college education, employment, job search, and marriage.
If you dare to ignore your child and not pay child support, I will report you to the Women's Federation. Even if I go to higher authorities, we will still follow the regulations!
In most parts of Qingshi County? With a reputation for not raising children, plus a wicked mother-in-law and a troublemaking sister-in-law, let's see what kind of good woman he can marry!
"Are you two fighting so much because your relationship is ruined? Life is so long, you can't keep fighting forever, can you?"
Tong Yuyao hadn't had her wedding yet, and she was already a bit "pre-wedding depressed" because of the messy married life she described!
"We met through an introduction, but we only met a few times. How deep was our relationship? His family was urging us to get married, saying they wanted to have a grandson soon! I thought he was a good match, so I agreed."
You have no idea, before we got married, her mother and sister were so gentle and considerate towards me. They just wanted to lure me into their home as their maid!
"Didn't you do any inquiries? Did your dad and sister also want to know if their family was eligible for government-subsidized housing?"
"I've heard that they have a good reputation in the area. They say the family members are honest and upright, and they've never argued with their neighbors. It's just that after his father passed away a few years ago, they've kept to themselves and haven't been very outgoing with people."
My husband works in a government agency, he's just a junior staff member, but his mother is incredibly proud of him. People who don't know him would think he's a county magistrate!
My mother-in-law doesn't dislike socializing; she just looks down on her neighbors, who are all ordinary workers, some of whom have only one person earning a wage in their entire family!
"Haha, isn't their son the only one in their family who earns a salary? You'll marry into their family, not only will you have a salary, but you'll also be a cadre; they should be even more accommodating to you!"
"In their eyes, I became part of their family after marrying her son, and it was only right that I contribute to them! At first, they even wanted to control my salary! I didn't agree to that at the time. We gave each other plenty of living expenses and also gave the old lady pocket money."
Her younger sister is only two years younger than me, and at twenty-two she's still lazing around at home! Her mother even said her daughter is pretty and we should be careful in choosing her, but I think she's just too lazy for anyone to marry! Back then, she kept thinking that her brother and I should introduce her to a cultured guy working in a government office, without even considering whether her brain, which can't even do basic addition and subtraction, is good enough for him!
Fortunately, she got married last year, and things calmed down at home for a while. She spent so long choosing a husband, only to end up with a family with several sons, a bunch of sisters-in-law, and a whole bunch of kids, always fighting! With all that ability, all she can do is cause trouble at home. I only don't discipline her because of her brother, right?
Now that she can't beat her sisters-in-law, she and her husband are staying at my mother-in-law's house. They know they can't offend me, so they've become much more sensible. If they were more sensible, I wouldn't argue with her about whether the house will go to her in the future!
"Hahaha! Why are you so resentful now? Where did my optimistic and positive Wang Haiyan go? Does marriage really change people that much? I don't even want to get married anymore!"
"No, no, I was just venting. I've already applied for company housing, and my husband and I will move in after the Lunar New Year. They'll wish us a happy family of three. I've already talked him out of it; his mother and sister can live on their own, we'll give them retirement money, they have food rations anyway, they won't go hungry!"
Wang Haiyan isn't doing too badly now. Her husband is a bit easily swayed; he listens to his mother whenever she says something. But no matter how much his mother says, it's not as powerful as pillow talk!
Wang Haiyan rarely lays a hand on her husband. Occasionally, she will try to appease him, and he will try his best to mediate and resolve conflicts between his wife and mother in order to avoid being beaten by her.
Besides, Haiyan wasn't an unapproachable person. Her mother-in-law realized that she couldn't control her and was only causing her son suffering, so she accepted reality and gradually gave up.
Now the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have almost gotten along. Wang Haiyan doesn't fuss over small things and isn't stingy with food, clothing, or other necessities. She doesn't tolerate her sister-in-law's fault-finding and won't stand a chance against her if she gets physical or verbally abusive! Her husband is also becoming more and more obedient to her.
"After you gave birth to your Xin Xin, did they not discriminate against girls? Your husband is an only child."
"Of course! When I was first pregnant, my mother-in-law would make me delicious food every few days, and she stopped arguing with me. Sigh, she's not actually a bad person, just an old-fashioned woman who likes to act tough!"
I just gave birth to Xin Xin. When she saw it was a girl, her face turned ashen, like a curtain falling over her eyes. She didn't say a word all day long, hahaha!
My sister was worried and came to stay with me for over twenty days to take care of me. My dad and my third sister also kept bringing me delicious food, which made me gain another ten pounds!
"And now? Is she good to Xin Xin?" Yu Yao really liked that chubby little girl; when she smiled, her eyes had a pair of eye bags that made her especially cute.
"Of course she cherishes it now, after all, she's her own granddaughter! She always nags my daughter, saying it would be even better if you had a younger brother, so that if anyone bullies her in the future, her brother can stand up for her. She still wants me to have another child."
Isn't this a disguised way of encouraging more children? It seems no one can escape this fate. Wang Haiyan also wants to have another child, whether it's a son or a daughter. Two children would have a companion.
"So when are you planning to have the baby? Taking care of two kids and going to work, isn't that a bit too much?"
Tong Yuyao thought about her own mother. When they were little, three grandparents helped take care of them, and her father was also very capable and could do all the housework. It was through this that the older children raised the younger ones, and they finally grew up. Thinking back, her mother must have had a tough time all those years, right?
"The older one is sent to daycare, and the younger one can also be sent there after one year old. My mother-in-law will still help take care of him for a year."
I don't expect my son to stand up for my daughter. When my sister-in-law gets upset, doesn't she come to me, her sister-in-law, for help? If I relied on her skinny brother, he'd probably get crushed by her brothers!
"Hahaha!" Yu Yao couldn't help but laugh. Just imagining the scene was hilarious!
"I heard your family has a secret formula for having a son. I'm planning to have another one, and having both a son and a daughter would be ideal. Could you give me one?"
